MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY. OCTOBER 12, 1939. PAG FIVE AFTER AND SEEK Vessel Which Fled From Everett Has Exciting Run Down Coast; Crew 'Broke' One Member Reports EVERETT. Wash.. Oct. IS. (AP) Bale but 'broke" In Chile after an exciting flight down the west coast of the Americas are the officers and seamen who manned the Portland, big German motorship which was In northwest waters when war was declared. This was the word received by Hoy Gehofleld of Everett from Valpariso, Chile, from a member of the crew. The story of the flight from Everett, where the ship discharged Its passengers and hoisted Us anchor late on the night of August 30, was one of narrow escapes and con ' stant paint Jobs. Twice the ship was repainted and off Chile it wtffc only the timely arrival of a dense fog bank that saved the freighter. The ship had left Everett report edly for Portland, Ore., but out of the ha rbor he re the sal lors we n t to work with their brushes and painted out the craft's name and insignia, substituting that of a French ship. About three days later, the letter said, a radio message was intercepted indicating that the guise had been discovered, so another change was made, this time to a Japanese name and appearance. Some days out of Everett the Portland saw two cruisers. The let ter did not indicate their nationality or whether there was any pursuit. Just off Coqulmbo, Chile, a British warship was sighted but a dense fog came up and the ship steered Into It. By the time the mist had dissi pated the Portland was safe in neu tral waters.

MODERN COMPLEXITIES OBSCURE GOD; WEATHERFORD AVERS In a pulpit editorial before his audience last night, Rev. Fred M. Weather ford, pastor, Medford Church nf the Nazarene said: We live in an age of complexities.! The scientific field today is as amaz ing In Its scope of complexities as It Is enlightening to Its scope of revealation. Religion Is likewise a maze of complexities. Truth is more often perverted than revealed by re ligionists. There are many philoso phies of religion, but only one orth odox evangelical brand and only one plan or salvation. The field of edu cation has resolved itself into an Inexplicable system of complex Ideas. This system of ideas, which enlight ening mankind, also threatens like a parasitic growth, to kill the very civilization it has produced. It Is significant that our educational sys tem, while improving the mental powers of man, remains Impotent to improve his character. War. which was once Inevitable because of the greeds and passions of men Is now thrice Inevitable be cause of the false philosophies cre ated by man's presumably Intellect ual innovations. Civilization Is endangering Itself by the elimination of Christianity. Where material values are given pre eminence above the spiritual, Chris tian ideals cease to be vital. When Christian Ideals cease to be vital paganism moves to the throne. No one would question today that we live In a militant world, but our militancy is set up on a wrong course. The militancy we need to day Is a spiritual one. A militancy that will lead us out of our maze of material complexities. We need a rejection and overthrow of the false gods of material philosophies. We need a system like Elijah insti tuted to overthrow the false phil osophizes of his day. by demon strating the power of God. No statesman of today is capable of leading a people in the political world except he who worships the God of Elijah. A statesman should be known as much for piety as for his political sagacity. Only God can build a character that is worthy of leadership. To this end more is re quired In personality than magnet ism, or intellectual ability. Charac ter at Us best Is Individuality ani mated by God. There Is being foisted upon the world today systems of national lead ership, which place the state above the individual. In these systems, duty to the state is taueht as & substi tute for duty to God. They teach that the individual and his freedom, must be suppressed in the interests of the state. They pretend that th strength of government Is a sub stitute for tne strength of the In dividual. But where the rights of the individual are taken from him. he is weakened. We challenge the statement that a government built on a mass of weakened Individuals can endure. Our Government was bullded by men whose lives took their roor?-' . nrw-! ! .-. fiftorc Wahln;t the fh"r W r1'' roiin'ry. who Mid i Whatever nay be conceded to ibtl MeteorologicalRepor.1 Forecasts Med ford and vicinity: fair tonight and Friday, little change in tem perature.

Shane of the United States army, missing since he para chuted from a crashing Washington national guard plane near here Mon day afternoon, has been found, safe and unhurt, Shane was located yesterday about six miles from this little railway town, 85 miles northeast of Van couver. Second Lieut. Edward B. Saxon of the national guard at Spokane. Wash., who was flying Shane from Spokane to Fort Lewis, Wash., when their plane ran short of gasoline over rugged British Columbia ter ritory, also escaped safely by para chute. He reached Vancouver yes terday to make arrangements for a search party to start hunting for his companion. Influence of refined education, on minds of peculiar structure, reason and experience forbid us to expect, that national morality can prevail, In exclusion of religious principle." He also stated: "Of all dispositions and habits which lead political pros perity, religion and morality are In dispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of pat riotism, who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human hap piness, these firmest props of the duties of men and citizens." In dealing with false philosophies of life, Benjamin Franklin refuted them In the following terms, when he wrote to Tom Paine, after he had been invited to read his manuscript, "The Age of Reason" : A treatise on atheism). "I have read your man uscript with some attention. ... I shall only give you my opinion, that though your reasonings are subtle, and may prevail to some readers, you will not succeed so as to change the general sentiments of mankind on that subject, and the consequence of printing this piece will be a great deal of odium drawn upon yourself, mischief to you and no benefit to others. He that spits against the wind, spits In his own face." In a letter to Dr. Stiles, then president of Yale college, Benjamin Franklin, one of the greatest states men In American annals, said this: "As to Jesus of Nazareth, my opinion of -sthom you particularly desire. I think His system of morals and His religion, aa He left them to us. the best the world ever saw or Is like to see." "I believe the soul of man is Immortal, and will be treated with justice In another life respecting its conduct in this." The flagrant outbreak of modern world evils is the self-imposed evi dence that there Is a moral lack In human nature which only a su pernatural revealation to the indi vidual can solve. It has been proven conclusively that nations who are at war on Christianity have no con science In the matter of principle respecting right and have eliminated : the role of Justice in their mode of conduct. The force of arms can nevr serve as the medicinal agency to nurse this morally sick world back health aealn. If one tenth part of the money that Is now being spnt by the nations of the world in armaments were spent In recruiting the world spiritually, we would build a new world lnter-state, In which men and nations would live in peace and freedom. Only God-guided Ipad ers can direct In the solution of world problems, that have now so deeply Involved us, and point the way out to a new world, where Its citi zens honor Ood and serve Him. The only sure foundation for world peace I and wo:ld happiness Is for men lniversally. to lead Christ-prln:lpled live. No man can llv such a life without being a Christian. sdv.) gACK BEAR COAL TO UNDERGO TEST ! BY Samples of coal are being taken from the Black Bear mine on Roxy j Anne for tests under the float-sink progress. It was disclosed today by j, e. Morrison of Grants Pass, mining geologist of the Oregon state depart- ment of geology and mineral Indus- tries.

S. bureau of mines and also by the Oregon de partment of geology and mineral in dustries. Mr. Morrison said.

'S REVIVAL SEEN BY HOOVER NEW YORK, Oct. 12 Pt Former President Herbert Hoover believes Po land will rise again. "Oppression, he told 10.000 Polish-Americans last night. "Is one of those forces which regenerates the oppressed and destroys the oppressor. "No matter what may be signed on papers called peace, there will be no permanent stability and no per manent peace to either Germany or Russia so long as oppression of a great and Independent race con tinues." f n ANCHORAGE.
