Varney, who has been preaching in this
parish of late, Mrs John J. Frye, pre-
sident of the Woman's Indian Associa-
ton, Rev DR.. Jenkins, Rev. DIR. Fenn
Rev. W. S Ayres, Rev F. E. Rogers,
Rev. Dwight NJ Pratt, Rev. c. E. Cate
and Rev. Mr.. Wilson
Rev. Benjamin Trueblood of Boston,
conducted the exercises and occupied the
pulpit After the singing of hymn he
offered prayer and read from the
Scriptures. Rev. DR. jenkins then
offered prayer.
Mr.. TRUEBLOOD'S SERMON.
Mr.. Trueblood said that he had been
asked by the church committee to present
in a condensed way what the Friends or
ganization really is He declared that
there was no sectarianism in him from
the crown of his head to the sole of his
foot. The Friends recognize the necessity
of separate organi cations but they look
forward to the time when these will exist
without the odium theological and the
brotherly hatred that has existed in the
past
A good many people have curious ideas
of what Quaker is Not long ago many
people thought that Quakers were people
who wore straight jackets and straight
bonnets, said thee" and thou held
meetings at which they uttered no words,
were harmless inoffensive people, who
never took an oath or went to battle.
If l should say what Quakerism is
should say that it is Christianity present
and inspired, maintaining the equality OF
men and women in right and privilege
before God and before man. Like the
great essential purpose of all Christian
churches its purpose is the salvation OF
souls and the establishment of Gods
kingdom in the earth. Its fundamental
idea is that religion is a spiritual and an
actually experienced thing. At one time
in Europe this idea of Christianity did
not prevail 1t was then only an in
tellectual conception of the historic facts
of Christianity. 1t was in protest against
this idea and to restore the great Biblical
conception of Christianity that Quakerislr
came into existence in England. II
sought to teach that God not only spoke
a the past by His son, but that Christ
lives here and NOW in the souls of the be-
1ievers. That is the great fundamental
conception of Quakerism. And that's the
great merit that the two hundred and
fifty years of Quakerism has behind it,
that it has restored to the whole church
this idea of Christ's spiritual presence
now and always.
Just in so far as the great truth il
realized that Christ in the spirit com
municates to the spirit of His children
Just so far has the church any influence.
Quakerism is a theory of practice rather
than doctrine 1t is the practical applica
ton of the historic facts of the Gospel
Any church that attempts to live by th'
spiritual side of the Gospel alone is SURF
to die of spiritual mystiflcations, or some
thing of that kind.
If religion be a present actual expert
ence of the soul, thea it must follow tina
religion is spiritually guided A Christian
is not only born anew into the spirit, blu
he is spirit led Christian. He is unde
the guidance of the spirit of God.

our people expend as much money for
missions as any other organization.
Another great principle of Quakerism
is the exaltation of the principles of love.
If Jesus died upon the cross, we ought to
love, not only our brethen, but our
enemies, so that we shall not seek to do
them harm, but to do them good This
great principle does away with legal con-
troversies 1t is out of this also that
comes our idea that all wars are incon-
sistent with the teachings Of the Bible.
We must not lift our hands against our
fellow men. We must always overcome
evil with good. That's our priciple We
may be wrong. We don't claim to be in
fallible. It's not because we're towards,
nor because we cannot take or give blows.
It takes more courage, when you have
too good fists, not to use them, than it
does to strike man down in your wrath
It's the highest kind of courage. That is
our principle. Mr.. Trueblood closed by
declaring that in the great revival that
has come of late to the Friends church, it
is fast becoming a mission church. 1t is
also building new churches all over the
land. This is the second new one in New
England during the year. You should see
the little beauty that we've got up in
Massachusetts,.
Mr. Trueblood closed with the claim
that Quakerism has established the great
peace movement of arbitration and that
it is the great peace organization.
REV. DR.. FEM.
Mr.. John F. Frye introduced Rev. DR.
Fem, who expressed great pleasure in
looking into the faces before him and said
that in thus looking he could understand
much of the private beneyolence that goes
on in the city.
He looked on the platform and saw
there the great leader of temperance. 1t
was the first time that he had ever seen
him in church in his life. 1t was good
to find out what manner of blood flowed
in his veins
Let me give you a little advice. You
| send missionaries to copper colored Gen
tiles. For Heavens sake send them to
white Gentiles here in Portland. Let
yourselves be felt. Let the people know
what the Friends are. If you'll let me
say it, you've been too exclusive, little
too hard in regard to taking in new
Christians
REV. DIR. JENKINS.
| DR.. Jenkins was introduced and said
that it was the first time he had ever been
to a Quaker meeting. That was one
reason why he came. Another reason was
that he wanted to. He had found that it
was much like any other meeting. He
wanted to say in regard to the preacher
claim that ST. Paul was Quaker that
he had always supposed he was Con-
gregationalist.
He was very glad to be present, and to
say on this occasion that this new build
ing and its new impulse to it's people
must be productive of great good in the
| community.

Every month they used to have meetings.
1 suppose they do now. One of the
questions then asked was, care Friends
careful to abstain from Intoxicating
liquors?"
Now it must be said that there are
many men whom we meet on the streets
who, unlike the Friends, are not walking
fessions.
Gen. Dow went on to speak of the
great evil of intemperance. The churches
have the suppression of the liquor traffic
in their power. When they say go, and
vote ago" it will 60 Gen Dow spoke at
liquor traffic can be suppressed if the
churches take hold of the matter in
earnest
COL. FRED N. DOW.
Col. Fred n. Dow was called upon to
say "a fewKwords. EHe said that he
was not a Clergyman or reformer, and
supposed he was only called upon to speak
because he was in such good company
and must therefore have something good
toesay. He referred very interestingly to
his boyhood's associations with the
Quakers both in his family and in the
church, and at a Quaker school
Other speakers were Rev. Mr.. Rogers,
Rev. Mr.. Pratt, Rev. Mr.. Spiers, Rev.
Mr. Ayres, Rev. Mr.. Cate, Rev. Mr..
Robinson and Rev. Mr.. Wilson, all of
whom spoke briefly in hearty congratula-
ton and welcome to the new church and
its members.
