ters Of his Bible class at the Fifth Avenue
Baptist Church yesterday OF his ambitions
and plans to make the class the largest IN
the world. 1t was the first meeting held
since the summer recess.
4 hope that all of you enjoyed your sum
meT holidays as much as I did mine, said
Mr.. Rockefeller, who looked the picture Of
health, and that we have all come back
with q determination to work harder than
ever We want TO show people that there
is something more to this class than 4 mere
gathering of men. we want to do things
A young man should not come here
merely 10 listen 10 Bible talk. OF course
that is better than not coming at all, but he
should be prepared to pitch in and help
actively in the work of the church. There
IS not one of you who is not in a position
70 help others in some way. We intend
during the next few months 10 show you
how you can be OF service TO your fellow
men.
L want to see this class grow steadily in
numbers" Mr.. Rockefeller continued, and
I want all Of you to hustle 10 get new mem
bers. Tell all your friends of the good work
we are doing and hope to do, and ask them
to join US"
Mr.. Rockefeller announced that in addi-
ton to the regular Sunday morning meet
ings the class would hold a social meeting
every Sunday night after the church ser
vice with the object of welcoming stran-
gers to the church and trying to get them
to join the class.
If you see a man who appears to be
stranger here, go UP 70 him, grasp his hand
and try 10 make him member he said.
How about the ladies? Why not extend
a welcoming hand to them, too" inquired
the Rev. DR.. Charles T. Aked, who was
present at the session.
Mr.. Rockefeller appeared surprised at the
pastors question. why. of course we
shall be glad to greet the ladies. too" he
said.

AVIATION MEET IN PORTLAND

The people Of Oregon, Wash
ington and the Pacific Northwest
will have an opportunity to see a
''man-bird" in actual fight.
Lots Of US have read about flying
machines and II is the desire of
everyone TO see one of these
soaring across the country, dis
putting for space in the heavens
with the clouds, and making a
speed that would put the fastest
bird in the world to shame.
There will be a big aviation
meet at Portland on March 5, 6,
and Z, which will be the first
chance that has been given the
people Of this part of the country
TO see this actual marvel. Peo-
pie who talked Of flying ma
chimes FIVE years ago were con-
sidered dreamers, but it is guar
anteed by the business men OF
Portland who are back Of the
flying machine meet that unless
there are genuine cross-country
and high altitude fights ticket
money will be refunded. Chas.
X. Hamilton, the daring aviator,
who, operating a Curtiss biplane,
holds the worlds records for high
speed with a mile in 1:37, the
worlds slow speed, which il
more difficult. with a mile in 4
minutes, will try to take the
high altitude record at the Port
land meet. Because Of the still
ness Of the air currents he be
lieves he can do this.
Railroad rates Of one and one
third fare have been secured OF
all railroads leading into Port
land. Rates extend to Medfort
on the south and The Dalles OF
the east. Every person in the
state will have an opportunity K
witness this great event.
Among those who will have
flying machines to take part il
the contest are several well
known Portland business mer
men who have made recent pur
chases, and it is certain that tht
dates of the meet will contain
many interesting features Of
what has been accomplished
within the last few years in tht
manufacture of flying machines
