SAYS MUST TAKE COATS
OFF TO TIE FUTURE
That Bolshevism, which but a
few months ago was a hideous dream
of far away Russia, is considered a
present, living reality in this coun
try and In Portland and a factor to
be dealt with In the great new era Is
shown by the fact that this symbol
Ism of social unrest Is mentioned
again and again like an ever recur
ring theme In the talks delivered by
the nationally known speakers who
have appeared at the two days' ses
sion which has launched the New
Era movement of the Presbyterian
church In Portland.
"We may take off our hats to the
past, - bnt we've got to take off our
coats to the future," said W. E. Bie
derwolf, of Chicago, secretary of the
Family Altar league this morning.
"We will never get rid of anarchy
and Bolshevism, divorce and gamb
ling until we push the forces of onr
endeavor across the threshold of the
home. We can't mobilize the church
against these forces properly and ef
ficiently until we first mobilize the
home." .
In urging the observance of fam
ily worship, he said that "we can no
- more expect a rose to blossom forth
from a covering of Ice than we can
except a holy life to emerge from
the conditions which surround , the
average American child."
"Do that community service most
needed, whether It be fighting the
Bolshevikl principles of anarchy.
fighting the spread of venereal di
sease, fighting for prohibition, for
clean streets or what not," la the ur
gent .plea made by Dr. A. W. Halsey
yesterday. "But while we do the
' 'natural' things let us not' lose our
faith In the supernatural. This
church will be false to Its mission If
It does not catch a vision of a pos
sible new world to emerge from the
present ship-wrecked' world. Think
of. the slumbering possibilities In the
peace conference now In progress. It
Is almost impossible to realize the
tremendous suffering the peoples of
, the world have gone through and
now face and in the words of Elihu
Root, the proposed league will have
the strength of straw unless based
upon the teaching of Christianity."

ALASKANS ASKING FOR
Juneau, Alaska, Dec. 30. (By
mall) Reports from Washington
say that Governor Thomas Rlggs Jr,
of Alaska, Is working to secure an
airplane mall service from Alask
Bids for the delivery of mail from
Valdez to Fairbanks by airplane have
been asked by the postofflco depart
ment, and it is understood that oth
er mall routes will bo investigated.
Substitution of the airplane for
carrying mail in Alaska would In
deed be an innovation and a blow at
, the romanco of the Far North. I'p
to the present nnd the only method
of carrying mail in a largo part of
the territory, during eight months of
the year, Is by dog team and sled.
; During the other four months Hmall
Damascus Oldest City. launches or steamers carry the mall.
The tradition of the Bust, which so Alaskans are wondering how It will
often has proved full of historical seem to see an airplane winging Its
meat, sets down Damascus ns the old- way over the fujow covered tundra
