THE OREGON STATESMAN, SALEM, OREGON THURSDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 20, 1921 'J.W.CIPBELL ' I ABLY EULOGIZED Rev. William Stewart Gor don Tell of the Life Work ; Of His Close Friend Tier.' William Stewart Gordon addressed the students in chapel yesterday and gave an outline of the life of John Wesley Campbell. He' knew the man well and spoke Bj-m pathetically. He said in part: Having been his pastor ifor three years, and later being called to officiate at his funeral service, it is indeed a privilege to weave a little wreath of respect, bind it with the cords of affection and Pay it as a tribute to the memory of John Wesley Campbell. " I knew him well. One had to know him well to fully appreciate GAsciriABQuininE f sun-. T-- THE STORM-MODERN HEATING- WARM ( NELSON BROS. t 333 CIIEMEKKTA PHOXK tOOO " 1 " - ...... O 3 IS ,7 j.

Back of bis modest, retiring manner there was a wealth of re sources entirely unknown except to his intimate friends. 1. He was a manly man, com manding ' the respect of all who knew him. i He . believed la busi ness, and in business integrity. He was one of the most active members of the Sellwood Chamber of Commerce. 2. He was known by all as a loyal, patriotic citizen. A veteran of the Civil war, a survivor of the Battle of Shiloh, commander of A. J. Smith po&t, GAR, he was always ready to register his vote and con victions on the side of his country. He taught school for a while in his young manhood, and I have often thought that his most natu ral place in life would have been occupying some chair of geology in a college.' How happy he was in his Memorial day address to the schools. j 3. This leads me to one of the facts not so well known concerning his life. Jle was a scientist. Both by instinct and training he was a life-long student, and with this he had) that rare combination of the analytical mind and the pa tient tabulator of data. The Portland museum and the Oregon Historical society are richer because of his toil and his benevolence. His ; cabinet con tained valuable evidence of vari ous pre-historic animals, a large collection of minerals, agates, In dian relics, among which is an in teresting array of arrow heads. It is eminently fitting that this valuable -collection should be placed in a college where his labor will be bearing fruitage through the years, handing, down his knowledge to the coming genera tions.' -j-. y ' ' i 4. It is also peculiarly fitting to have the cabinet in a Christian college. Brother Campbell was a Christian and a Methodist." For many years he was a trustee of the Methodist church at Sellwood, and a great source of strength to the forward-looking pastor. - Brother Campbell was a happy combination of the reverent Chris tian 8nd the scientific investiga tor. He took nothing for granted. He wanted to know the truth, and be would follow the gleam wher ever it led. -j V - Like all ucn men, he passed through a period of ; questioning and mental struggle. But. he em erged in a larger world where he basked peacefully in the sunshine of unified truth. He understood the exortation of Paul: "Brethren, be not children in mind be men." , And like the same great apostle he could say: "When I was a child, I spake as a child, I under stood as a child. But when I be came a man I put away childish things." i i The thinker naturally outgrows some things. Expansion is a ne cessity for his larger world. As Dr. J. M. Buckley once said: In spite of some readjustments and re-allignments, which are sure in dications - of .advancement,, the beauty of the life of true right eousness constantly increases In charm and irresistible attractive ness." So it was In the . case of the man of whom I speak. He wor shipped a God of intelligence. Therefore he was not afraid to think.

Alike, they were written by the finger of, his omnipotent fiat. .; He was a geologist- and a dis criminating student . of .evolution. He contributed a number of very thoughtful articles for the Ore gonian, and several others appear ed in the Sellwood Bee, one only a short time before he djed. This was entitled "Footprints of Time," and opened with these significant words: "Why should it bethought strange that God has ' chosen . to create by the process of evolution, carried on through his eternal years, rather than by his instant spoken - word? The same results are reached, the same ends at tained. His almighty power is exerted alike in either case, and His works do praise Him. t 'The earth certainly was not created in a moment of time, in the form in. which it now exists. A study of the earth's crust shows a continu ous succession of changes, of evo lution,' of preparation for man's occupation. ' And then he adduces evidence gathered from the Willamette to the Ganges, and from the Cascades to Mt. Katmal, Alaska. To him it seemed more worthy of an eternal God for Him to take a million years in creating His masterpiece than for Him to do it by His sovereign fiat in the twinkling of an eye. v For instance, he realised that the so-called creation date of 4004 B. C. suggested by Mr. Ussherwas impossible. The pious intentions of the chronologist did not change an erroneous guess into a fact. To his mind the value of the Scrip-' tures was only i increased by the necessity of shoving the date back a few thousand or a ; million years.

I loveHim,' and I am safe in His hands." - , 4 He gavo mo a -manuscript en titled "Moses and Geology," in which he makes a most striking comparison between the stages of creation as recorded in Genesis and the most recent conclusions of science. I append his last para graph tn that paper: "The story of the world written 1 by Moses, many thousands of years before the geological record had been read and interpreted, shows a wonderful agreement with that record. Moses wrote for the bene fit of a people but little advanced in learning or civilization as it Bow . exists. His appeal- was- to their stage of intelligence. And his story stands unimpeached by the discoveries of science even to this first quarter of the 2 Oth. cen tury. Not only is it unimpeached. but corroborated in a wonderful manner.", - , Here we see the, spirit of the man. He is reverent,", yet un afraid. Tie will not repudiate his faith, neither will be stultiry his intellect." , , ' : lie clings to both, "and walks with God in quiet contemplation of the mysteries of the universe. Again I say, how appropriate it is that the treasures of such a mad should be deposited in a Christian college or university. . And how fortunate for us that Mr. and Mrs. H.. Li. German, the daughter of Brother Campbell to whom the cabinet was bequeathed, should make such a disposition of it. As a member of the board of trus tees of Willamette university I wish to express our deep appreci ation of the gift. Brother Campbell understood my little "Hymn for the New Age" with which I conclude: ; A lljmn for the New Age il Tune, "St. Catherine," No. 415 . in Methodist Hymnal.) 0, Master of the modern day, "jOur hearts are kindled as .we know Thou walkest still along life's way As in the ages long ago; And by the magic of Thy will New worlds Thou art creating still.

Sr Landers, of Normal School, at Lunch Peaco hath its profiteers as well as war. ? i Good digestion is a greater as set than a good education. J. S. Landers, president of the Oregon Normal school at Mon mouth, was me main speaker be fore the Rotarians yesterday and told members that the Towner Sterling educational bill, which is to be introduced into congress, should be supported because it would place education on a par with other organized departments of the government. This bill is intended to stimulate Interest in education and stipulates that there should be an organized de-t partment in the cabinet. The ad-, dress was, given here in observ ance of national education week. "America spends $17 in luxur ies for every $1 spent in educa tion," he eaid, "and until this ratio is changed we- can still af ford more education." "The economic situation that has risen since the Civil war has caused the burden of taxation to be' very heavy," he said., "Our mode of taxation' is backward. Local taxation was not sufficient to cover the needs of education, and a special tax was necessary. The government should contribute a part of the cost of education." President Landers scored heav ily leaders who were working against universal education in America and stated that the de mocratic ideal of the United States would not allow the limi tation of educational possibilities. A change in education was. tak ing place and the dominant idea of today was to understand the other fellow and to work with him. The altruistic viewpoint was taking the place of the Individual istic conception that has formerly been held. Mrs. Landers appeared in eev eral vocal solo numbers. Mrs, John C. Sande andJ a party of their friends will bo the honor guests of the theater management for the evening.
