Anniversary Ball.

The Redmen and Pocahontas
lodges are arranging for a grand
costume ball, for December 10th,
the anniversary of the founding
of their orders. The plan is for a
ball where only those costumed
as Indians will be allowed the
privilege of the floor. The audi
torium has been engaged and re-
freshments will be served on the
stage by Indian maidens, the re-
past being of the la carte nature,
that is, guests served on applica
ton, no general repast being
served at fixed time but refresh
ments to couples as they may
wish to have them. Arrangements
will be made to serve lunch to
spectators, so that dancers alone
will not be the sole participants
in this interesting feature.
Some prizes are to be given to
the most artistically and typically
costumed brave and squaw. and
it may be depended upon that the
judges will have their hands full
in making decision.
Special efforts will be made to
have the very best of music and
every detail will be observed to
make of the affair the most en-
joyable of long list of Redmen
and Pocahontas entertainments.
The date appeals to the patri-
otic, being the anniversary of a
great Natioual event.
The Redmen and Pocahontas
lodges always succeed in giving a
good entertainment when they
try and we confidently expect
this one to excel all others they
have tried.

1t is quite evident that the Red
men and Pocahontas Ball on De-
cember 10th is to be the most
spectacular event of the season.
The arrangements now being
made are for ball in costume,
every dancer being dressed in true
Indian style. No one will be al
lowed on the main floor of the
Auditorium unless so costumed.
Prizes are TO be awarded the most
typical costumed braves and
squaws and the refreshments will
be served in typical Indian
camp on the stage. The gallery
will be opened to spectators, a
small admission being charged.

One Day of Prohibition in Portland

PORTLAND, OREGON, January 2o-(Special CORE
spondence)-One of the results of putting on
the lid" is discernibe in this city of 225Ooo in
habitants. Portland's saloons are closed on Sun
day. AS result crime and disorder and drunk
enness on that day have been very largely de-
creased The following quotation from the
Portland Telegram, "wet" paper, published on
a recent Monday is significant:
"For the first time since the inauguration of
the lid law as interpreted by District Attorney
Manning yesterdays police docket showed no
arrests of DRINKS and not single patrol wagon
call was sent to headquarters by patrolmen
Not only does the docket show a surprising lack
of inebriates but complaints of all types
less numerous than usual. But q names ap-
peared this morning on the court grind and only
a few hold-over cases were enumerated, affordng
city and state prosecutor the easiest municipal
court day in many months"

NOT THE CHURCH. BUT JESUS
Houa Gospel
l?--Has Religion Her Place?

vi Garrison, Lowell sang
Tn small chamber, friendless and unknown,
Tolled DER his types one poor unlearned young
The place was dark, unfurnitured and mean,
Yet there the freedom of race began"
Nothing of the kind 1t had its source CEN
sent back the away slave Onesimus to his
master Philemon as free man. Paul learned
that Gospel of human brotherhood, which made
master and bondmen equal before God, at the
the attitude of the church in the nineteenth cen
tury there is where the ethical Gospel of Adolf
ton had its source
The twentieth century is face to face with
similar condition: God is laundering the doom
of the saloon through this generation with
trumpet of fire. Where is the church? Where
has been the church in the last generation?
Silent often, when she ought to have spoken.
Indifferent often, when she ought to have been
flame of fire. Conserving often, when she ought
rather to have died than to hold her peace.
Closing her doors to the voices that God hath
sent to prepare the way Furnishing her own
prophets, who would commit the unDardonable
sin if they held their peace. And with form of
her most loyal sons and daughters to organize
unions, lodges, associations, declarations and
leagues promote ethical righteousness outside of
the church, to do the work which the church, by
divine appointment, was designed to do.
I would not make this charge except to
challenge the church to deny the impeachment.
The present ethical revolution is born of Christ
outside of the church.
Employers and employees join hands to crush
out the devils saloon commercial necessity,
while high churchmen split hairs over liberal
Sunday" and are too conservative" to lift their
voice in protest against the slaughter of the limo
cents and dan1ning of humanity in their own COM
munity
There are individual Christians, thousands of
them who all they to Jesus Christ, who
are lifting tons for God, but the church
organized institution is scarcely lifting pound.
For the source, you must go back to Christ;
for the present power you must look outside OF
the church.
A religion that leaves the saloon undisturbed,
unattached when day by day its record of crime,
outrage and assassination is chronicled by the
daily press, is not worthy to be called after the
name of Jesus Christ Again have we reached
time in the march of Christ down the centuries,
when eff these should hold their peace, the very
stones will Immediately cry out"
This ethical wave against the saloon has come
like hurricane upon the deck of pirate ship.
There is but one explanation; Jesus Christ is
walking across the American continent; every
place from which his holy foot is lifted there it
it leaves dry spot.

Delay in North Carolina

RALEIGH, N. c., January % > Especial CORE
spondence)-The general trend Of opinion among
is that the manipulators will succeed in side
tracking the demand for immediate statutory
Prohibition and refer the whole question: in
some form or other, to the people in a general
election, with the understanding that if the de-
discussion will be taken up next year by the
legislature.
The reason for doing this is fear that party
interests will suffer by allowing the Prohibition
question to oetr4ae ,tsel Just now and many who
ing to agree to the delay because of their love
for the Democratic party

HOME GREATEST
FACTOR IN LIFE
OF BIG NATION
Rev. William II. Morgan Says to
Be an American Is a
Distinction.

Taking as his text, righteousness
Exalteth a nation, but sin is a reproach
to any people," the Rev. William H.
Morgan preached an eloquent sermon at
the Central Methodist Church last night.
He said in part:
Looking tonight on the privileges we
enjoy, and the blessings which come
to us through the greatest republic on
the globe, and which do not come to
some of those who. are our brothers in
the flesh, L can, say truthfully with
Daniel Webster, I thank God that I
also am an American
This year has seen more moral tri-
umph in this country and England than
any time before in the history of the
world. Righteousness has exalted the
nations, and, after all Righteousness is
the keynote of life.
There are three great forces work.
ing for our moral welfare. They are:
First, the home, the molding power of
which can never be estimated in the
building of the nation; second, the pub
lie schools; third, the church of God,
which is sometimes, unfortunately,
more of a political machine than a
house of worship
81 AVE never In my life been stirred
up over a political campaign so much
as / am this year. / stand for the man

he comes from. ! will vote for the man

PATRIOTISM AND
RELIGION IN VOTE,
DECLARES PASTOR
Rev. John Mcdowell breaches
on "The Nations Challenge
to the Church."

1.-THE Nations Challenge to the
Church" was the subject OF the Rev.
John McDowell's sermon in Park Pres
byterian Church yesterday. Taking for
his text the words of the prophecy of
Isaiah. Awake, awake, put on thy
strength, o. Zion" Mr.. Mcdowell spoke
in part as follows:
1.-THE church needs the nation to
make effective Its teachings and ideals
by embedding them in laws Inc institu-
tions, the nation needs the church to
give it ideals, to inspire 1t with high
aspirations, and to support 1t In every
struggle of the right against the wrong.
But the church must not go into
politics. OF course not, II by politics
we mean party politics, but If by poll
tics we mean public welfare-the prac-
Using of good citizenship-the nomi-
mating and electing of fit men for Of
ice-then l say the church will be COM
hitting the objectionable sin if 1t stays
out Of politics.
THE nations challenge of the church
arises out of two great facts:
First, the questions of the founda-
tions and institutions of the nations.
Men are asking today: Is democracy
going to prove itself equal to the gigan-
tic tasks of government? Did our
fathers make a mistake in trusting The
people? Awake, awake, o Church of
the fathers and answer by clean and
high patriotism. No. they did not make
I--.xI. 49, ~oA~1A 49, r. A-.-.>a
Prove it on Tuesday next.
Second. the crisis which is on the
nation in the election on Tuesday next.
The character of the government de-
ponds on the men we elect to office. No
system of government however good
can succeed IL bad men are allowed to
run 1t. The man you put in the sheriff's
Office next Tuesday will determine the
character of III county administration
for the next three years. Put In q man
who will honor law and God.

SIN
BY LEGISLATION,
PLAN OF PASTOR
The Rev. DR.. James |. Vance Be-
lieves That Moral Can Be
InstilIed by Lawmakers.

"What Shall We Do with SIM" was
the topic of a sermon by the Rev. DIR.
James 1. Vance, in the North Re
formed Church last night. He said in
part:
I'VE are living in a new world of
thought as well as of industry. Sci
ence, in the opinion of many people,
has shattered much of the old fabric
of religion. The opinion may not be
well founded, but it exists N must De
dealt with; and hence we must begin
anew the building of the house of faith.
Nevertheless at least one fact still re-
sides on its ancient site. That fact is
sin. Sin is what it was. Sin is where
it was. Sin does as it did. Sin pro-
duces as in former times. Science has
not revised sin.
what shall we do with sin?
"Some say: 'Legislate against it. Pass
a law forbiddfIig it, This is the most
ancient method of dealing with sin. 1t
vas the plan at Sinai. 1t has proven a
fiat failure, for sin declines to be for
hidden. You canno. create morals by
Legislation. You cannot reform a COM
munity with a squad of police.
Others say: Explain it. Account for
its existence. Go back to the Garden
of Eden, If necessary, n start with
the federal headship of Adam. Get
together total d|eprdvity, original sin
and a lot more of the same kind and
construct a sound system of theology
on the subject of sin. That will do the
business This is where the church
has expended much of its energy, but
what of it? Diagnosis Is not cure. You
have not cured a man of smallpox
when you have found where he caught
it."
