the subject chosen by Mr.. Hutton,
whose able address was inspiring.
Rev. Hutton urged that men live
broader, fuller lives.
1.-The church and religion" he said,
"should not be placed off in one corner
apart in niche. do not see why a
man cannot go to horse race, an hon.
est race, today and then go to hear a
good sermon tomorrow. | do not see
why one cannot go to dance tonight
and be thrilled by the music and go to
church on the morrow.
Away back yonder in the dark ages
men thought they had to starve their
bodies in order to gain spiritual feast,
and it was considered that the soul
must be shriveled in order to enjoy
the pleasures of the body. But we are
past those conceptions today, and yet
we have not reached the goal of COM
plete unifcation.
Mr.. Hutton declared that both the
people and the ministers were to blame
for the conditions that exist. The elo-
quent minister closed his address by
pointing out that the great war is
bringing about such unification in
the lives of men.
''We are being made to see," he de.
c)ared, that nations as well as men
cannot live unto themselves alone.
And in the past few months we have
seen new relationships between the
government and individuals shaping
themselves. The government and its
individual units are becoming part

gon for his eloquence. He was never
better than Sunday evening when he
related his "reminiscences of his old
friend, Andrew Harry Tieman, the
benefactor of the lodge.
Andrew Harry Tieman, as Mr.. Smith
told his fraternal brethren, was born
about 1880 in Denmark. He came of a
family of sailors, and at the age OF
eight or nine he persuaded an uncle to
take him aboard his vessel as cabin
boy: :,
"Mr. Tieman," said Mr.. Smith,
during the course of his career, trav-
eled broadly. He visited Jerusalem.
Later he was with Commodore Perry
on his visit to Japan. have listened
to his interesting account of that visit.
Commodore Perry carried fully
equipped little railway line, circular
affair, that was set up on the sands of
beach. He had telegraph line.
When the railroad was up the whistle
cord was pulled and at the screech the
little Japanese were almost frightened
| to death. They were invited to take a
ride, but no one volunteered. Finally
one of Commodore Perry's brawny
sailors picked up little brown mar
and held him on car. After that
there were more passengers than could
be accommodated. Two years ago the
800 Japanese of the Hood River valley
celebrated the birthday of their EN-
peror, and nothing would do them but

| got some books and read up on Japan,
and was astonished at the progress
that had been made in that country.
No other nation has ever SO advanced
in so short time, and it all had its
beginnings in that visit of Commodore
Perry.
Later we find Mr.. Tieman here or
