A Religious Experiment
EUGENE is to be the scene of an experiment in religion
starting rith the new year, when Rev. Fred J. Clark of
that city will initiate what he calls a "Symbiosis' service,
- usine the Colonial theatre there on Sunday afternoons. Rev.
Clark was for a number! of years pastor of the First Congre
gational church of Eugene. Some months ago he resigned to
carry on lecture and mission work; recently he has been
engaged in the service station business for self-support,
t j Rev. Clark declares his independence of denomination
ajism on the ground that the church as it is now enchains
one's personal God ; and what religion needs is greater free
dom. For his services he plans increased variety and flexi
bility. No fixed order of worship. Brilliant music; we will
probably use several trumpets beside organ and voices. The
tiessage will be brought largely in story-form dramatic
bpok-sermons, using well known and popular novels, poems
hd the like, as well as magazine articles.
'. . The type of his organization promises to be unique. By
renting a theatre he will get away from heavy financial
burdens. People may come only out of desire and not from a
sense of duty. He is quoted:
i "The most dramatic difference Is in the method of financing the
enterprise. There will be no begging, no "collections lifted with laugh
ter.' no financial appeals. There will be no financial control by large
givers. Neither will there be any religious spongers, for people will
pay a moderate price at the door, thus raving self-respect. There will
be no prominent members' fingers around the windpipe of the
preacher."
The personal credo of Rev. Clark does not take him into
the camp of the liberal" or humanist churches. He says

"The New Testament Jesus Is God: and I am convinced that it

, who forms the center of my Interest and worship; not a man. Only
Cod is adequate to human salvation. And the joy of that salvation
is so ereat that men ought to get excited about it. and be happy in it."
Rev. Clark is known as an able preacher, a sincere think
er and of the highest personal repute. His venture is singu
lar; and there may be enough folk in Eugene who are dis
contented with organized churches that they will be attract
ed to this theatre-ervice in numbers that may assure its
continuance. The Clark experiment's freedom from commer
cialism and from vagaries about healing and such practices
are all too rare among modern cults.
With all the trend toward "church unity" there is going
on at the same time the process of division. Despite the 220
divisions of the Christian church some folk do not find the
groove in which they fit, so they nucleate new groups in
their effort to find satisfying religious expression.
, : Fighting the Farm Relief
fTlHE publisher of the Medford News is a fruit grower, op-
JL erating on a big scale. He is bitterly opposed to coopera-
iuibuiu(, tum i uuv i au iw.wani in expressing ms
Views through the columns of his paper. Recently The News
devoted a full column editorial to condemning the agricul
t Jural marketing act. Here are some extracts from that edi
torial which show what the Medford publisher thinks. He
doesn't even withhold judgment pending trial of the experi
ment, but finds the McNary bill wrong even before its oper
ation starts. This is what the News says:
, "Our fight is against the AgricultnralMarketing act for the
Wason that the latter Is inimical to the interests of everr farmer
in this district. In opposing It we are. we sincerely feel, waging a
battle In the interests of thote upon whom the backbone of prosper
ity in this valley depends.
i j "This newspaper has never failed to stand by the farmers of this
Vtalley, and it is with the firm intention of continuing the fight in
'dheir behalf that we oppo?e the Agricultural Marketing act, for which
frmers the country over are grasping as the drowning man grasps
r a straw.
"We are not only opposed to the act because It was passed after
,-Xmmature deliberation and only lo appease the demand for. real agri
"euhural relieT, but for the reason that its very construction is such
(hat it can never benefit those local farmers who are advocates of
- jooperation. And furthermore, the act itslf was jammed down the
ihroats of legislators who were believers in genuine agricultural re
lief, and who had no other alternative than to accet it.
: "We challenge not only the individual advocates of the Agricul
tural Marketing act. bat any newspaper in the. state to point out a
single instance in which the act will benefit any agricultural Una la
4this vslley.
, "We are opposed to any legislation which. If accepted by the
. majority of American people, will destroy individualism and personal
initiative and eventually permit the government to. succeed the in
ifividual in. business.
' We are opposed to any legislation which seeks to usurp prop
t (erty rights, and which compels the establishment of values on Amer
ican -farm products st the points of marketing instead of the points
:f Origin.
" "We are opposed to any legislation or administration policy
jwbfch seeks to destroy competition in the markets of the country,
and which will herd the individual growers of the country into one
gigantic organization controlled by government boards, bureaus and
;Sareauerats." '
The Eugene Register describes1 Portland as something of a
tankerous old maid." Not far wrong, at that.

THE BIRTH OP JESUS !

This is the earliest recorded;
line about Jesus which is pre
served. Mark was the earliest of
the gospels now extant. It tells
nothing at all of the birth of Je
sus, of the annunciation, of the
immaculate conception. John,
the, last of the gospels, tells noth
ing ot the birth of Jesus. It takes
up bis biography with the bap
tism. Luke and Matthew are the
ones who weave the beautiful
story of his miraculous birth in
Bethlehem. And the story given
la these two gospels Is strangely
divergent: Matthew. tells the story
of the three wise men; Luke tells
the story of the shepherds in the
fields. Lake tells how Joseph
and Mary went from Nasareta to
Bethlehem because of the tax de
cree of Caesar Augustus. Matthew
tells the genealogy of Jeaas bat
traces it to Joseph, whose patern
ity he immediately denies. Luke
tells the story ot Elizabeth;
Matthew the story of the wicked
Herod. . Matthew tells how Jo
seph tooX Ids' family and went
from Bethlehem to Egypt for
safety. They waked ' there till
Herod died, and returning avoid

the son and successor ot Herod,
and went away up into Galilee.
Lake says nothing about the jour
ney to Egypt, but says on the con
trary that the parents took Jesus
ai soon as they could and went
up to Jerusalem where Simeon
and Anna saw them at the temple.
So here are the four biogra
phies cf Jesus. Two of them, the
first cd the last, say nothing at
all about his birth. The accounts
given by the other two are strik
ingly different. It Is en account
of these great variations that
many loyal followers of Christ
have not accepted the story ot
the "virgin birth." To them the
gospel record is too scanty er too
irreconcilable to justify accepting
the doctrine of Mary's immacu
late conception.
- Who is there so Intellectual or
so hard ot heart as to reject the
beautiful lesson of the Bethlehem
story? Believe what he may about
it or about theology which is
erected apon it one may sot resist
the appeal of the picture ot moth

called by every one, was the prime
mover in the building of our pres

contributing mere than double
the amount given by any one per
son for Its erection, also donated
the half block on which the build
ing stands. He was a strong sup
porter of the church by his faith
ful attendance and financial aid,
his pocket book having been con
verted with him.
"Eulogistic words could be pen
ned on the lives of many others of
those old pioneers of the early
church movement here, but it is
unnecessary. I often visit the
spot where the old school house
and church building stood, and as
I stand and look down into tlfe
clear bubbling spring, my mind
goes back to the time when those
pioneer Christian men and women
drank of its dear, cool waters.
S
These thoughts would bring a
shadow of sadness were It not for
the fact that by faith I can real
ize that those- dear ones have
fought a good fight and finished
their course and are now resting
in 'the land that is fairer than

Bancroft gives this biographical
stetch of Col. E. D. Baker: "Born
in London in 1811; came to Amer
ica in 1816; learned cabinet mak
ing and in 1S28 went to Carroll
ton. Ill, where he began the study
ot law. In 1832 he was major in
the Black Hawk war. For 10 years
he was a member of the Illinois
legislature, and in 1845 of the
U. S. house of representatives.
During that year he raised a reg
iment for the Mexican war and
joined Taylor at the Rio Grande.
In December. 1846, he returned.
made a speech on the war in con
gress, after which he resigned and
went back to Mexico, where he
participated ia the capture of San
Juan de Ulua and the battle of
Cerro Gordo; taking the command
in that battle after the wounding
of General Shields. The state of
Illinois presented him with a
sword. In 1849 he was again
elected to congress; and in ltSl
he undertook some work on the
Panama railway, but was driven
by the fever to California in 1852,
where he practiced law and made
political speeches."
w .
Bancroft says also: "When war
was declared Baker raised a regi
ment in Pennsylvania. His re
mains were deposited in Lone
Mountain cemetery, San Francis
co, and a monument erected to his
memory.' This is another ease ot
California having appropriated
laurels belonging to Oregon. Ba
ker was Oregon's United States
senator, not California's. Bancroft
in another part of the story of his
connection with Oregon history,
says he "came from California,
where his star was not propitious,
to Oregon, where be hoped to
have n finger In the new politics."
His star was propitious in Oregon,
and he had more than n finger in
the new politics here he had
both hands and all his great abil
ities. ,
