CHEERING NEWS FOR CHURCH

Lecture by Rev. Chas. Stelzle.

-. Rev. Charles Stelzle. who was formerly
pastor OF Hope chapel in this city, and
who will lecture in Westminster chapel on
1.-THE Working Man and Social Problems

reach the working man. He speaks from
wide experience and a success which
has commanded the attention Of the Pres
byterian church at large. EE;f -tEi9.co.
Mr.. Stelzle at the meeting of the Min
neapolis presbytery yesterday made. the
cheering statement that the situation was
far more hopeful to-day than ten years
ago. Then the average workingman was
against the church as part Of the es-
tablished order of things. To-day the
labor leader and the average workingman
has no such hastility. This is the opinion
Of John Mitchell of miners strike fame,
with whom Mr.. Stelzle had long talk
recently in Pennsylvania. Mr.. Stelzle
told the Presbyterian pastors that the
rich 1nan5s church. the "workingman's
church and theh mission alike failed

the possession Of newspaper. All he
would say was that the president had
spoken to him about the appointment and
that he had it under consideration.
Naturally, the question is one that Mr..
Heffelfnger could not settle off hand. He
is an important factor in the large bust
ness enterprises of the North Star Shoe
company and affiliated concerns and ac-
ceptance Of office would necessarily
mean considerable sacrifice on Mr.. Hef-
felfnger's part in a financial way. He
may however, decide that it is his duty
to accept the proffer. -, .- - T.
The selection by the president is UNI
questionablya we'll made.19 Mr.. Heffel-
finger is a man who stands for, honesty
and principle in politics, who Is thoA-
oughly In sympathy with the civil serv-
ice idea and would enter upon the duties
of the position proffered with enthus-
iasm and sympathy for the work in hand.
He could have been mayor OF Mime
apolis If he, had been willing to make the
business sacrifice necessary. or, rather il
he had been willing to disregard his. obli-
cations to his father to the extent OF
withdrawing a part Of his time from his
business in order to serve the city.
The civil commissionership. Of course
will require all his time and his residence
in Washington, SO that from the business
side the problem Is a. more serious one
| than that of the mayoralty. = q
! There is something interesting, too
| in the selection of a man like Mr.. Hef.

Heffelf1nger stands for the strenuous life
not only as a leader in athletics, but as
man whose conscientious regard for dut,
and unflinching e courage shape, hi
thoughts and action in important crises

The Great McEwen.

Prof. McEwen who appears at the
opera house Monday night, Oct. 26, is
considered by all who have seen his
wonderful work to be the peer of all in
his line, as the following from the Port
land Oregonian goes to prove: During
the past week the city has been wrought
up over the series of entertainments
given here in the Marquam Grand by
Prof. McEwen. The prejudice against
the professional hypnotist is fast dimin-
ishing, and people are coming to realize
not only the Importance Of hypnotism
itself to the human family, but the i'm
portant part the hypnotist has performed
in bringing the public to correct un-
derstanding of the phenomena. One
does not object to being instructed on
scientific subjects, even when out for an
evenings amusement, If it is done in
the right way, and that is where Mr..
McEwen towers head and shoulders
above others in his line. He admins
ters the dose of knowledge each evening
in such sugar-coating Of fun that the
benefits are wrought without the ennui
usually felt from lectures alone.
