"The trouble with Oregon is that she is suffering with an inferior
ity complex," declared Mr. Steiwer Iftportlan4 address.
If so, our .fair young state is a goner. All of us know, after the
Oregonian kicked Stanfield out on account of "our brother-in-law,"
that we had,, the "complex," but did not know that we had the "in
t ferl6fity.M
inferiority complex" is a bone disease or lung trouble
known to science. It is
. rnmhred that in ancient times there was a chicken disease in which
lbe tails of the chickens fell out and a candidate for senator of that
day naid" the ailment was "Inferiority complex." Beyond that, there
was no knowledge of the disease until the rvealment of Dr. Steiwer
that Oregon has got It and got it bad.
; Undoubtedly Jack Day, who ran the meeting, was deeply affected
'py, the news. Probably those dire words, "inferiority complex," fell
.on the entire Audience with a dull, sickening thnd, and that all felt
JJltte need for somebody to lead In prayer. '
In his address at Baker, Dr. Steiwer prescribed a cure for what
Jills Oregon farmers. "Hard work and cooperation'' that's the stuff
;for them, he said. With Dr. Steiwer, under orders from the Oregonian,
a the senate, proclaiming that Oregon is sick with "inferiority com
i. plex" and telling his New England colleagues that all Oregon farmers
-need is to work harder, our home statesmanship1 would scintillate,
and Oregon sit on the top of the world.
The Portland Journal shoujd-be ashamedof the abewa

: A number of prominent Salem people heard the "in
feriority complex" speech of Mr. Steiwer, delivered on Wed
nesday of fair week at the Salem Rotary club meeting
And it was a splendid speech.-
He said that Oregon, sandwiched between California and
Washington, used to have the inferiority complex, but that
this state has. changed very much of late, is changing all the
ftirhe,'and ought to change still more
"t'-" That Oregon and her people are entitled to have the
superiority complex; and he gave an array, of reasons for
shis belief, in very well chosen terms, and delivered in a mas
lerful manner.
-rhe'fact is, Mr.. Steiwer made a very favorable impres
I sion on his hearers, who 'were largely home folks, for Mr.
i Steiwer is a Marion county product.
' That speech, word for word and gesture for gesture;
! and inflection f on inflection, if it could be so heard by every
.voter in Oregon, would make the majority for Mr. Steiwer

Henry Porter, sage of Aumsville, in his talk at the com
munity club meeting at the fine school house in that town
on Monday evening, predicted that if Aumsville people would
plant a row of walnut trees on each side of the paved high
way through their town, and put their buildings and Jawns
in order, and beautify their premises in other ways, Aums
ville might soon have a population of 1000
And that was not idle talk.
There is a district capable of being irrigated, reaching
from near Mehama to Salem, and spreading out to Marion
and Jefferson, and over Salem prairie, that is .capable, under
irrigation, of supporting 100,000 people on the land
100,000 acres, with a family averaging five people on
every five acres. This will be done some day, and perhaps
another 100,000 people in the towns and cities surrounded by
the hundred thousand on the land
Another hundred thousand who will manufacture and
market and consume the things produced on the land and
attend to the various wants and needs of their neighbors
engaged in cultivating the soil (the butcher and baker and
candlestick maker and the lawyer and doctor and teacher and
preacher and merchant and mechanic and all the rest), and
the future tourist through this rich region will scarcely know
where the cities and towns leave off and the country begins.
Aumsville, at that time, being almost in the center of
this future irrigated district, may have not only 1000 people,
but 10,000, and many more. And the time to begin, as Mr.
Porter told his hearers, is now, and the way to begin is to
make Aumsville beautiful, which may be done with small
cost compared to the certain large return.
May Mr. Porter live to see his advice followed, and the
fruition of it realized ten fold, which is not an improbable
thing.
"The Church's Maxim" was the
subject qf the sermon by Rev.
Frod C. Taylor in the First Meth
odist church Sunday morning. It
was the opening service of a new
conference year and a capacity
congregation greeted the pastor,
who was appointed last week by
Bishop Leonard at the annual con
ference at Corvallis.
The sermon was a challenge to
the church to rise to higher things
and adopt a larger program of
activity for the new year. The
text used by the pastor was
"Awake, O Church, Awake; Put
n Thy Full Strength,"
"Church comp'acency is the
curse of some churches today,"
eaid Dr. Taylor in opening his
sermon. To pray for a "holy dis
satisfaction" with ourselves is
3ometimes a good thing. Too
often the church lives and labors
on a low level rather than striv
ing for the utmost service. To
be contented with a minimum
when we might attain the maxi

From being a poor show town, in the days when it was

other part of the world. May we live long and prosper!

"The Churcli's Maximum"
Sermon Delivered by Rev,
Fred C. Taylor
demand our just rights, and live up to our wonderful oppor
the rock of Gibraltar, but how
often it fails to rise to this high
measure of power and ministry.
Does the church reach its true
maximum of strength and service
in numbers only? Numbers may
make a church strong and they
may make it top-heavy and un
stable for either defensive or of
fensive warfare. Gideons faithful

taken 'that large memberships do

than trusting in Cod for power.
A church may have great finan
cial-strength and yet not attain
its maximum for God and human
ity. Of what service is wealth 'in
a church unless consecrated lo
God and his service. It was said
of one church in the Bible that
it was rich and increased in goods
rnd had need of nothing, yet was
wptjtehd, miserable, poor and
blind, because it had forgotten
God. A church may have the
wealth of the world and yet be
spiritual bankrupts in the sight of
heaven.
Nor does a church reach its
maximum or full strength by be
ing strong socially. To cater to
the society of the world for the
sake of social standing, onl mean"
to lose sight of the true secret of
strength. A tree may have foli
age and shew signs of growth and
yet be decayed at its heart and
devoid of real strength.
The church attains its maximum
strength by being awake and alive
and active in its n.embership. Lat
ent powers and dormant energies.
revived and brought into action
nelps to make a church strong.
Too many church' members are
like the good colored brother who
prayed, "O Lord, use me use me.
Lord, but use me in an advisory
capacity." They are unwilling to
help, bear the burdens and take an
active part in the church's pro
gram. A tombstone ir.scription
read: "Here lies the body of a
man who for 4 0 years was a valu
able ornament in the,
church." What a commentary on
an inactive and . indifferent mem
bership in the church.
The church reaches its maxi
mum of its unity of spirit and pur
pose. A three-fold cord is not
easily broken. A house divided
against itself cannot stand. Like
a mighty army, moves the Church
of God. We are not divided all
one body we.
The churc h attains its maximum
also by the consistency and conse
cration of its members. Made up
of units, the whole is made strong
by the strength of the unit. The
strength of the wolf is th s'rength
of the pack, but the strength of
the pack is the strength of the
volf. From knighthood comes
the lesson, "His strength was the
strength of ten. because his heatt
was pure." The church attains
its maximum by its spiritual vis
ion, life and power which God
gives to it. The church that trans
