Taylor, Evangelist and Missionary, Delivers Lecture to Methodists at Auditorium. cum LIBERAL COLLECTION TAKEN Speaker, Who "Has Travel eel Nearly Half Million -Miles, Tells of Hardships. - ' , An. earnest plea for help for the suf- ferine millions of the Orient wu the keynote of the address delivered 8unday night at The Auditorium to a contrrega tion of about 2500 Methodists by Dr. J. M. Taylor, celebrated, evangelist and missionary. All of the Methodist churches of tho city closed their doors Sunday evening and the various congre gations gathered at The-Auditorium to listen to the address. From the standpoint of travel, few men can equal Dr. Taylor's record. He has covered 450.000 miles, and In the past year has journeyed 75,000 miles. - In his address -last night he dwelt principally on conditions in China and the Orient. The meeting, a part of the church's hundred million centenary campaign. , was opened by Dr. Young-son. Before ?r. Taylor's address a unique collection, fathered on tin pie pans, was taken up and several hundred dollars gathered for the city extension work of the church. , The funds gathered will go to swell the , salaries of poorly paid local ministers. . LIFE IIC THE FAB EAST ' Few men have better knowledge of actual conditions In the Orient than Dr. Taylor. ' Assisted by stereopticon slides, .he portrayed life in the Far East and .the hardships and privations of the few ministers who are now attempting to spread the gospel among them. A num ber of first hand incidents showing the squalor, poverty, superstition and ignor ance that surrounds these people were given by Dr. Taylor. -America is the Big Brother of the poor peoples of the Orient, declared Dr. Tay lor, and all took to America for help and guidance. : A selfish democracy that sits : back and considers itself safe as long as - its present dangers are gone cannot save Jthe world, he declared. Only by help and ktndneBS, and without force and vio lence, are the .people of China to be saved., . CHRISTIANITY AS WEAPOJT Bolshevism was rapped by the doctor ; but as a means of combating it, he ad- vocated education and Christianity for the poor and downtrodden. As, long as education and the power to( think prop erly, and Chrlstiaplty, with Us power to think right, are kept from the poor, the Red Flag will continue to wave. Pre pare the rising generation for decent citizenship, he declared, and the future of the world will be safe. The awful conditions under which the ' people- of China live, their superstitions, ignorance, poverty, -filth and hunger , were discussed -by Dm, Taylor. An earn- under way and assistance for the unfor tunate Oriental peoples and the mission aries serving thera was also made by Dr. Taylor. : -,.. -. : :. Irving Ackerman Is Strong Booster for Wilson and League Irving Ackerman, law partner of Mu nicipal Judge Morris Ottenheim of San Francisco, head of the Ackerman & Har ris theatrical circuit which operates the local Hippodrome theatre, and Demo cratic politician, arrived in Portland this morning, stopping off on his way south . to take part in the Victory loan rally here tonight and help the boosting.

Mr. Ackerman, who was one of the electors who chose President Wilson, is as ardent a supporter of- the president now, as ever. "Every move that our leader has made has proved, right in the past and I believe that his attitude on the Flume question "will be indorsed I by the Italians themselves when they recover from their attack of hysteria. ; "California trusts him : : Implicitly in handlinjf the Japanese matter, as was evidenced by the action of our legisla ture. The 'League of Nations sentiment . is a fair idea, of how people come around to Mr. "Wilson's idea of thinking." - - Ackerman A Harris have branched out of their regular channel of business In SSn Francisco to give a revue after the style of the Winter' Garden.
