OUTDOOR CHURCH
MEETING RECALLS
CHRIST S MISSION
-I am reminded that the first tem
ple meti worshipped In were tem
ples similar to this one," said Dr.
Eugene C. Hickman of Wilbur Meth
odist church, m opening: his sermon
at Laurelhurst park Sunday after
noon. "The church has been slow
in groin? out Into the highwaysby
ways, hillsides and other places
where people gather, and bringing
them the gospel message. If our
Lord and Master had gone to the
synagogues only ; to preach to the
people, many of our best messages
would never have been given."
More than 600 people sat on benches,
.tables or on the green grass under the
giant trees in a natural amphitheatre,
while little children played nearby on
the green and w'niie . butterflies flitted
overhead. A peculiar reverence seamd
to spread itself over the gathering,
SlJfGIJTG IS FEATURE
". The congregation did much better sing
ing; in the park without the aid of song
books than Is sometimes heard in the
church. Motorists passing the park
stopped their machines and listened to
the music and sermon from the roadway.
An "old fashioned" Methodist, sermon
was given by Dr. Hickman. He chose"
Bil ls passages refering to repentance for
his theme and said in Jart : "The heart
needs to be made right and then all
else will be right. The first message of
all the prophets and all the apostlos
throughout the entire Bible is to repent
and get right with God. Christ in
structed the disciples to preach a gopl
,t repentance. I Uil you there has never
been such a . need of preaching the
straight from the shoulder gospel of re
pentance as there is today. Folks are
drifting away from God. If you could
stand here where I am and see not over
a score of young folks in this fine con
gregation you would get excited also.
Where are our boys and girls? They
were not in church this morning. They
re not here now and they will not be
in church tonight. It's time us pious
church folks were searching out hearts."
YOCICG PEOPLE CBGED
, The preacher addressed his closing re
marks to the few young people in the
audience, urging them to live for Christ.
-Oh, that I might bring to you the pr'ory
of living a whole life for God." he said.
The Rev. Ralph McAfee, executive sec
retary of the Portland Church federa
tion, presided. Dr. J. J. Staub of Sun-
nyeide Congregational church and the
Kev. Homer 1. Cox of the. First Friends
church led in the prayers. Prof. J. A.
Ho'lingsworth directed the singing, ' be
ing supported by C. J, Selfarth on the
cornet and a chorus choir composed of
lingeis from nearby churches. Gordon
a. Ongstad sang "This is My Task." The
Rev. ft. Earl Du Bols, chairman of the
committee in charge of the open air
service, announced that as soon aa ar
rangements had been made with city of
.t'c'als services woe'd r-e neld in seve-al
sf the parks each Sunday.
''-..-' r
"Mothers and fathers spend too much
time fussing about what clothes their
children shall wear rather than insist
ing and seeing to it that these children
are trained to lives of service for oth
ers," said the Rev. Thomas Jenkins at
St. Davids Episcppal church Sunday
morning. "In our church we are 900
priests short of normal requirements. It
is next to impossible to get young men
to enter the priesthood to save souls.
They prefer instead to enter business
careers where money Is made quickly."
Removal of a wisdom tooth and con
tracting a cold after the operation
forced the Rev. H. H. Griff Isf of thej
First Christian church to refrain from
preaching Sunday; The Rev. S. M. Con
nors, pastor emeritus, occupied the pul
pit in the morning, and also took charge
of the communion service. Following
the communion he gave a brief message
covering the same text Dr. Griffis had
announced, the story of the rich man and
Lazarus.
The Rev. HI T. Cash, associate pastor
of the East - Side Baptist church, gave
his closing message Sunday night be-
. fore leaving on a month's vacation. He
spoke on "The Vision Splendid," con
trasting the difference of vision through
the natural and spiritual eye. "We see
much of beauty with these natural
eyes," he said, "but, oh what we see
through the spiritual eye. Culture and
art "without the Christ of the New
Testament is like the scentless rose. Men
may be sincere or eloquent in the pulpit
but yet be blind as to what Jesus Christ
is and what he asks of the souls of men.
Higher critics are refashioning this
lamp (the Bible) of ours and handing
it back to us, but after they hand it
back the light is gone.' ,
During-, August the pulpit will be oc
cupied Sunday mornings and evenings
. and on Thursday nights by Dr. S. J.
' Reld, state evangelist for the Baptist
church. Dr. W. B. Hinson, pastor, is
lecturing this week at the Moody Bible
Institute at Gladstone Chautauqua
grounds. .......
