Till: MOItNI.VO OI.OIIV.
DEATH hns unexpectedly summoned Harvey W. Scott,
for nearly half a century editor of the Portland
Oregonian, greatest of western editors and foremost cit
izen of Oregon. lie played an important role in the de
velopment of the state and aided largely in shaping its
destiny. lie leaves as a monument the greatest newspaper
in the northwest, which during his long career has main
tained a foremost place in the journalism of the nation.
Mr. Scott was one of the old school of editors, of the
type of Ilenry Watterson and the late Charles A. Dana,
whose fame was due to their gifted personalities, univer
sal knowledge, mastery of English and talented pens.
They were great as writers on current events, their pro
ductions were finished essays, which were a delight to
read. They were a type developed in the age of personal
journalism, before the commercialization of the press,
when the editor, and not the business office, made the
paper and dictated its policies.
With the exception of a term as collector of customs
in the early 70s, Mr. Scott never was rewarded with politi
cal honors, in spite of great services to party. He was
offered many distinguished posts, but always declined
them. It is said that he coveted election to the United
States senate, where he would have honored Oregon, but
it was not to be, and as editor of Oregon's greatest paper
he honorably occupied a place far more important.
Mr. Scott was one of the great men in the making of
Oregon and will occupy an exalted niche in Oregon's tem
ple of fame. He had many bitter enemies, as all do who
try to do anything worth while in the world; he had warm
personal friends, for those who knew him well loved him;
and he had a nation full of admirers, all of whom unite in
mourning Oregon's loss.
Desecration of the Sabbath
(Bv Rev. Francis Van Clnrenheek.
WHERE READING MAKES MONEY.
NOT much is left of the old impression that the ads were
tiresome reading. Perhaps thev mav have been in the
days before they came to reflect the business spirit of the
hour, and to be to all people who take a real interest in
life as it is lived in this city a never exhausted source of
"opportunity news."
I'n these days the ads are the keys of things. They
give us clues, hints, facts that appeal to our selfish in
terests. They repay our attention in money money saved in
purchases; money made in ventures. They are a non-negligible
factor in life as we live it. They are not dull
unless life itself is dull. And it is not.
I read the editorial "Worship of the
Great God" n last Sunday's issue of
th" Mail Tribune with a good deal of
pleasure and satisfaction, as the opin
ion expressed by you regarding the
great danger that threatens with ut
ter ruin our Christian civilization has
been and is my own unshaken con
viction. Business has been carried
to such an absurdity that some peo
ple, if we can Judge them by their
actions, have come to believe that
they cannot prosper and hoard up
enough of dollars and cents unless
they rob the Almighty of what be
longs to him, namely his Christian
Sabbath. Sunday, or the Lord's day,
is consecrated by tho Christian world
to public worship, to rest from ser
vile work and relaxation of mind and
body, by Innocent and honest recre
ation in order to commemorate tho
resurrection of our Savior from the
tomb, by which he consummated the
work of our redemption and to fore
shadow the glorious resurrection of
the elect and tho eternal rest that
will be theirs in tho life to come.
The Christian Sabbath is a living
witness of revelation, an abiding
guardian of Christianity.
The religious services held in our
churches each successlvo Sunday are
the most effective means for keeping
fresh In the minds and hearts of the
people the sublime and salutary
teachings of tho gospel. The relig
ious services held In our churches
Inspire men with a revorenco for the
divine law and causo It to exert a
potent influence in tho moral guld
anco of the community. It is safe to
say that the Institution of the Chris
tian Sabbath has contributed more
to the peaco and good order of na
tions than could be accomplished by
standing armies and the best or
ganized police force.
Tho officers of the law are a ter
ror, Indeed, to evil doers whom they
an est for overt acts; while tho min
isters of religion by tho lessons they
Inculcate prevent crlmo by appeal
ing to the conscience and promote
peace in the kingdom of tho soul. It
Is sad to note tho dangerous Inroads
that have been made on the Lord's
day.
In our own little city the Sunday
Is almost constantly being desecrat
tlon, only last Sunday the hammer supplanted by tho newspaper nnd the
was wielded with such forco and con-' magazine and salutary thoughts of
stancy and In such close proximity j Ood, of eternity and of tho soul will
to one of our churches that tho voice
of the officiating clergyman was al
most drowned by tho echo of the In
strument. The obligation of wor
shipping God has been impressed with
indelible characters upon the heart
of every human being. "Remember
that thou keep holy the Sabbath
day."
Those people who so easily set
aside God's eternal law are greater
criminals than many a man who Is
spending his life behind prisons bars.
Perhaps he committed but one crime,
and If given his liberty would not
repeat his experience, but live as an
honest and upright citizen.
The desecrator of the Lord's day
Is a constant danger to the Christian
morality of the community as long as
he continues In his damnable prac
tice. Ho may not be a criminal In
the eyes of the civil law, for the sim
ple reason because there Is no law
that enjoins him from working on
Sunday. But for that reason he is
no less a criminal In the sight of
God and of heaven.
He breaks, not a man made law,
but a law promulgated by the eter
nal law-giver from the very dawn
of time and tho cradle of humanity.
And tho man who hesitates not to
trample under foot the commandment
that tells ua "Remember that thou
keep holy the Sabbath day" will not
scruple to break the commandments
that follew: "Thou shalt not commit
adultery," and "thou shalt not steal"
and 'thou shalt not bear false wit
ness against thy neighbor."
It Is high tlmo that these encroach
ments on tho Lord's day are checked.
If they are not tho day may come
when tho peoplo will worship "the
goddess of reason" as they did at tho
time of tho French revolution In
1793. A great priest has said:
"Leave a parish for 20 years with-'
out religion, and Instead of adoring
God, man will adore tho beast."
The dny may come when the re
ligious quiet now happily reigning
in our well ordered cities will bo
changed Into noise nnd turbulenco,
when tho sound of the church bell
will bo drowned by the echo of the
be choked by the caros of business
and by the pleasures and dissipation
of the world. Wo here In America
boast that we are a Christian nation
and enjoy Christian civilization. Let
us they respect and reverence the
laws and the day of him who made
It possible for us to enjoy the bless
ings of civilized life.
Perhaps tho desecrators of tho
Lord's day disclaim belief in Chris
tianity and feel under no obligation
to keep the Lord's day. These peo
ple seem to forget that thoy live in
the midst of a Christian people and
that they are supported all around
them by an enormous mass of relig
ious feeling and religious conviction.
They forget that they breathe a
Christian atmosphere, Porbn'ps they
were raised by good Christian par
ents and after having climbed up the
ladder they kick down the ladder
by which they climbed up and would
persuade others to live without a mo
tive to live and leave them to die
without hope. Tho best thing those
people can do is to move out of the
midst of a Christian country and a
Christian people to somewhero In the
South Sea Islands or some other
country where tho religion of Josus
Christ has not gone and cleared tho
way and made decency and secur
ity possible and then ventilate their
views.
Would to God that there existed a
perfect harmony between the civil
law and tho eternal laws of heaven
and that tho civil law considered tho
breaking by unnecessary servile work
of tho commandment, "Remember
that thou keep holy tho Sabbath
day," as much a crlmo as the break
ing of "Honor thy father and thy
mother," "Thou shalt not steal,"
"Thou shalt not commit adultery,"
"Thou shalt not bear falso witness
against thy neighbor," etc, etc. After
all, It should.
Because, to use tho words of Judge
Mllburn of tho supremo court of
Montana, "God made tho laws; all
man docs Is to make tho bylaws." I
do not believe In a Puritan Sunday.
But I believe In first giving to God
what belongs to him, and then In be
ing cheerful without dissipation,
grave and religious without sadness
nnd melancloly. God made not man
for the Sabbath, but tho Sabbath
for the man.
I would heartily wolcomo a law on
our statute books that would keep
tho desecration of tho Lord's day
from nt least oponly insulting the
best people in the community and
from scnndaltnzing tho children and
from offending thoso who, believing
In the divinity of Jesus Christ, ren
der unto him on tho Lord's day that
adoration and that worship that are
due to him.
