C. A. A very strong address was ered at the Y. M. C.

A. men's meeting Sunday afternoon by Dr. Fletcher Homan, president of Willamette University. He took as the theme of the discourse the "fruits of the spirit," as given in the fifth chapter of Galatians, and for his subject, "Live Ideals of Live Men." "The ideals of a man are the measure of the man," he said. "The deeds may be.

It depends upon how closely the man makes his deeds accord with the ideals which he has set himself to attain. The live man is the one who will choose for himself things that make for life, and not for death. "The idea, so prevalent, that strong and beautiful character is inborn, is not true. The attainment of the 'fruits of the spirit' is the result of a definitely followed course of action. 'Whatsoever a man sows, that shall he also is as true mental and spiritual world as in the agricultural.

As development in the physical world is secured only by toil, so that in character is secured only by the most arduous spiritual toil." The attainment of such a character, he said, puts man in the position of the builder up, the community, and the man who has not these "fruits" is the destroyer of society. For love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness. and the rest in themselves, make for the preservation and progress of society, and of the individual. A beautiful selection by the Methodist church, choir, and a well-rendered anthem by Miss Daisy Gilbert, were much appreciated by the large audience. Roy Knox, of Albany, mingled with the crowds here yesterday.

CANARY PERSUADES 40 TO JOIN THE CHURCH Pastor Hampton Releases It From Eggshell to Typify Soul's Flight Portland, April little yellow canary bird was the means of bringing between 40 and 50' persons to a decision regarding the Christian life Sunday. The bird was released during the course of the Easter sermon preached in the Montavilla church by Rev.

W. H. Hampton. The sermon was designed especially for children and the tiny singing bird had been entombed in a goose egg, pin holes supplying the necessary air. The minister at the psychological moment in explaining the resurrection and the release of the soul after death, crushed the egg shell and the tiny yellow bird flew up into the air, soared about the church above the heads of the people and then hesitating a moment changed its course and, returning, lighted 011 a branch of cherry blossom that decorated the pulpit.

So beautifully did the bird's flight typify the thought of the speaker and so plainly did it seem to represent the soul's return to the many in the congregation were deeply affected and as a result two score of accessions will be made to the church.
