Christ. His love, helpfuiness and right
eousuess Mr. Hack then reviewed tho
condition Of the church, Its Sunday school
and the Christian Endeavor society and
showed the need OF doing something In
their upbuilding. Many people believe
that the sole duty OF q Christian - 70

the army exists for the sake OF IA ma
ton. lie showed the situation reEarding
the Sunday school and attributed It's
present condition 70 the condition
OF affairs in the city. He spoke
of the lack OF observance OF
the Sabbath as n day OF rest. he didn
plead for the observance oil TINS nay
merely for religious purposes, but as
the one day out of seven on wnion
workingman should rest He said that
every year more and more stores were be-
ing opened on Sunday. He spoke Of the
many Sunday excursions and att FACTIONS
offered the public on Sunday and. said
that all of these things rendered to ip5ure
the church and to more and more take
from tho sabbath its siVnificanoe. He
then spoke of the disregard of the law
and the fact that certain class OF per-
sons were being taught here In Portland
that all laws could be violated with
immunity. He didn't consider this
question as between those who believe in
nfgn Incense anu pruDlulblOH, bub us W.
tween law and lawls ssuess. BY figures
taken from the city marshal's report 10
1854, compared with the figures of the
city marshal's report OF 1877 he showed
that there had been big Increase In
the number of arrests for all causes
amounting to 20 per cent aud an increase
OF IL per cent in arrests for drunkenness
In this same time the growth In popula-
tion had been but 10 per nent, a very
striking showing. lie said that We must
do here in Portland what George h. War
ing did for Havana, give our lives II

spoke of the fact that in one OF the hotels
In Portland boy was employed to car
~ liquor to she guests Of thu houss, who
objected to doing this, but who was told
that he must carry the liquor or lose his
position. Such things as this are we'll
known to every person In Portland and
vet the spirit OF lawlessness see ms to be
all powerful today. Mr.. Hack said that
the church had duty tn perform in this
city and that all true Christians should
