OLTMPIA, Wash., Sept. 4. (Special.) Fire losses in the grain fieldsof eastern are heavierthis year than in many seasons, Captain W. A. Gross, assistant state firemarshal, said yesterday on his returnfrom two months of active fightingof fires In the grain fields of theWalla Walla and Palouse districts.

The fires have been greater inand have been harder to control.

due to the extremely dry and hot season, with the resultant heavy foliageon the grain. Two fires in the WallaWalla district recently destroyedtwo fields of 700 and 736 acres ofgrain,

One of these fires was directlytraceable to a lighted match or acigarette stub carelessly thrown froma passing automobile.

Second to this menace was the accumulation of smut dust in threshingmachines, the smut being unusuallyheavy. Explosions of this dust causedby sparks of static electricity werefrequent and caused heavy losses.

The radical menace, a factor withwhich the has had todeal in past years, was totally absentth's year, Captain Gross said.

NEGROVessel

ARK DESTROYED

Built to Transport Religious Cult Burned to Water Line.

LOS ANGELES, Cal. The Ark, avessel constructed here by Rev J. E.Lewis, a negro, to tranusport a reli-gious cult, known as the Church ofthe Living God, to Liberia, Africa, hasbeen destroyed by fire on the tldelandsof Terminal island, near here, thusclosing the last chapter in the historyof the boat, which for years has at-tracted attention from residents andtourists here.

Twelve years ago Lewis first be-came attracted to the idea. of a pil-grimage to Liberia. An attempt wasmade to oharter a vessel, but. beingunsuccessful; he suggested to his con-gregation that the church build a ves-sel to carry the prospective pilgrimsto distant Africa.

After five years spent in buildingthe boat, it was launched Beveral daysago and rode the waves Just longenough to give the pastor and hisnock a glimpse of their anticipatedtransport to the "promised land,"wehereupon the unwieldy hulk rightpromptly sank to the bottom of theharbor.

A few days later the waterloggedark reappeared just as unexpectedlyas she had disappeared and again vis-Io-

of the trip appeared for thechurch members. But, so the storygoes, the moorings of the ark werecut or became loosened one night andthe current swept her into the harborchannel. The next day a passengersteamer was halted by the driftinghulk and the harbor department or-dered it towed out of the harbor andbeached. Fire came along the othernight and sealed the fate of the arkby burning her to the water line.

It is reported that the congregationis now entering into negotiations withthe United States shipping board re-garding the purchase of a governmentvessel, which, if procured, will bplaced in commission by the "LlberlanTransportation company."

The ark, which measured about 135feet from stem to stern, was built ofconcrete and wood and is said to haveresembled a barn in appearance.

CiSTi DEMANDS

Oil INDUSTRY LISTED

Encouragement of Self-Respe- ct

Held Required.

N. F. COLEMAN IS SPEAKER

Outdoor Services Held in Laurel-hur- st

Park Under Auspices ofFederation of Churches.

Where modern industry fails to encourage self-respe-

and of free labor itdoes not square with the principles ofJesus, who valued people abovethings," declared Norman F. Coleman,president of the Loyal Legion of Log-gers and Lumbermen, in an addressyesterday afternoon at outdoor services

held in Laurelburst park- underthe auspices of the Portland federa-tion of churches in observance ofLabor Sunday;

The vast majority of workers areand must be hand workers," said Mr.Coleman, "and we do well at this sea-son of the year to give thought to theservice and the needs of manual labor.In more than 20 years' experience as ateacher of youth the most hopelesslyunresponsive people I have knownhave been those who have neverworked; and the most blindly foolishparents I have known have been thosewho, remembering the hardship oftheir own toil, have said, 'I ami going to give my boys and girls an easytime.' Through toil, and only throughtoil, we come to know the common lotand learn to sympathize with our fellow men of this and of past generations. .

Toll Teaches Patience.Through toil we learn , what pa

tience and care have gone into thesatisfaction of our simplest humanneeds; we learn to offer with in-

telligence that universal prayer, "Giveus this day our daily bread.' Throughtoil we learn the lesson of loyaltyfaithfulness and our share of thegreat task; how the very existenceof mankind, to say nothing of itsprogress, depends upon such workas necessary to the right growth ormanhood and womanhoop, and givea new meaning to the ancl&nt parablewhich made God say to our first parents, 'Cursed' Is the ground for thysake.

"Why. then, you ask. is labor so freauently shunned and feared, andwhy does it frequently degrade andharden?

Free Labor 'Marked.'Not by any degrading influence

in the toil itself, but by the falseand unjust situation of the toiler;not by tbe nature of the task butby the oDPressloni of the task master,The oppressive task master may be

n individual, or a group, or wnaiwe call the general pumic. in anthese cases the task master may beignorant of the wrong being done,may never have thought what is thedifference between labor that freesand labor that enslaves the laborer.

There are, in general, three marksbv which, in our kitchens, in ourmills and factories, and in our mines,we may know free labor.

"First, it encourages self-respe-

This involves conditions of cleanli-ness, ventilation, and safety in recog- -

itlon of the value, or the laDorer sbody. It involves also fair and courteous treatment on the part oi tneIrectors of labor, such as befits one

of equal manhood and equal citizen- -hip with the .employer or tne over

seer.Second, it encourages self-dir-

tion. The man who works always under the command of another is a slave.Free labor gladly accepts guidanceand counsel from authority and ex-

perience, but free labor seeks oppor-tunity for its own initiative and scopefor its own intelligence.

'--Required.

"The third requirement is that laborshould encourageThe man who finds himself in 'a blindalley job' withers in mind and spirit,and not infrequently in body. Thisis why wise leaders of industry en-

courage promotion from Job to job,and from responsibility to responsi-bility. If there must be purely me-

chanical jobs, they should be held forcomparatively short periods andshould be relieved by frequent leisure.This, in addition to the need of physi-cal relaxation Is the motive for theshort working day that men andwomen may be free from monotonousor lonely toil for several hours eachday, to satisfy and to develop theirminds' and their social natures withdiscussion or recreation among thesurroundings of home or a circle offriends.

"Where modern industry fails tomeet these three requirements it doesnot square with the principles ofJesus, who valued people above things,and who scathingly denounced thosewho in precept or practice denied theessential worth of the human bodyand soul. Where modern industrysacrifices men and women and chil-dren for the sake of profits it invitescriticism, condemnation and thorough-goin- g regulation and reform.The worker must be exalted aboveand through his work."

FPISCOPAIj bishop preaches

Right Rev. Walter Taylor Sumnerat St. David's Church.

"People agree on the fixed princi-ple of algebra, ethics and the morallaw. But few agree on religion," de-

clared Bishop Sumner yesterday In hissermon at St. Jjavia s episcopalchurch. '

"We as a nation "may face a seriousIndustrial situation before nextspring. The whole world is in, aperiod of unrest, and much that wethought established is changing.

"Yet, this morning I do not wishto preach only on social or industrialaffairs. I wish to speak On theblessings of religion and the gospelleft us by Jesus Christ, somethingthat will help and heal.

"Religion at first seenls to be thedeepest of all problems. I saw a signon an auto the other day reading'Jesus saves,' and the sign did notraise any commotion, as people areno doubt used to seeing it. We min-isters talk on religion and we try tomake ourselves understood. Possiblywe proceed again and again to use tbesame phrases, and it may be that whatwe say loses its freshness.

"But wander where we will, wemust come back to the subject ofGod, the first cause, the absolutely

g, our loving Father. Ev-erything we have is from God. Wemay In our waywardness try to existmentally apart from God. But sooneror later there comes a day of reck-oning.

'Everybody has worries to contendwith, and the man who does not haveany worries must certainly lead amediocre life. What is the cureT Godlifts us up when men fail us. It isgood to come back to God and churchduties after a period of vacation andface these thoughts,

"It Is not possible that the world

and men will be made good over nightThe good time will come when thehearts and minds of men will change

when men will become clean, honest and just.

"God has left consolation in hisword. We must continue to hope anwork on. 'Seek ye first the kingdomof heaven and his righteousness anall these things shall be added untoyou. "

It was stated that Rev. ThomasJenkins, rector of St. David's churchmay arrive about the end of this weekfrom Alaska.

INDUSTRIAL PEACE FORECAST

Christ's Spirit Will Stop Exploitation, Says Pastor.

A sermon was preached yesterdaymorning at the Highland Congregational church by Rev. Edward Constant on the topic, "Jesus and theLaboring Man."

"Jesus had no acquaintance," saidthe minister, "with our moderneconomic and labor problems. Helived long before the factory systemand labor-savin- g machinery cameInto vogue, when service meant servltude and common man was regardedas of little worth. Yet it is fromJesus we get the modern'view of life.He Is the real frle-.- d of the sons ofindustry. His breath is the inspiration of labor's progressive programme.Men recognize him as leader anchampion: of their rights. His sympathy touches us like an electricspark coming down through the ages.Frederick Douglas said of --.'ncoln'He treated me as a man.' The Ilktribute can be paid to Jesus. Henever stands apart from humanity

"Jesus enunciated principles whichare eternal, preached even - handedjustice. His teachings demand faiplay between all men.. It is not themight' of physical force or that ofcapital which makes things right.There is something higher than legislative decrees, asrreements of corDerations or votes of labor unions.Things are only right when they areJust.

"A new atmosphere is being createdfor industry. The voice of conscienceIs being heard. Autocracy is dyingIn the industrial worldj It is nodead yet, but it is surelyFraternity and are being substituted for it. Despite thepresent-da- y unrest and strikes, we areon the eve of a commonwealth oflabor. It has taken us a long tlmto learn that no man is here to beexDloited on plnndered.

"Men have a common Interest. Emnlnvers and emDloved are really partners. One must respect the rights ofthe other and share in the welfareof the other. Gains and profitsshould be divisible. Here comes inthe teaching of Jesus. His gospelseeks to destroy hatred with loveThe class SDirit and false distinctionsfind no nlace there. The aim ofChristian'ty is happiness and prosnerltv for all. Aoolicatlon of the gospel will stop industrial warfare andevolve better conditions for theworker."

JESUS SETS LABOR EXAMPLE

Pastor Asserts Manual Toil Is as

. Honorable as Any.

In his Labor day sermon on "TheCarpenter" in the Central Presbyterian church yesterday morning Dr.Walter Henry Nugent raised the question which was asked some years agowhen Charles Stelzle was commissioned by the Presbyterian board othome missions to work among thelaboring men of the country, "Whoare the laboring men?"

"Unfortunately," he continued, "adistinction Is made that really doesnot exist by speaking of the laboringmen and meaning the man who engages in manual labor. In commonacceptance, the laboring man worksfor a day's wage with his hands, carries a dinner pail and wears' overalls.If earns a salary, howeversmall, he is not a laboring man. Ifhe eats at a counter, instead of outof a pail, and if he wears good clothesand can keep them clean at his work,he is not a laboring man. This shouldnot be so, for does not every manlabor who works for a living? Arenot the brain workers laborers? Labor is the business of all who arenot idle, and Henry Van Dyke wellsays, 'Heaven Is blessed with perfectrest, but the blessing of .earth istoil.'

"But in the commonly accepted useof the word, Jesus labored. He sanc-tified manual labor by being himselfa carpenter. We have often been toldthat the first 30 years were the longand patient training for his life work.But were not these years rather thepatient doing of that work? Was itnot as a lad of 12 that he said, 'Wistye not that I must be about my Fathrer's business' And from that hourhe assuredly did bis Father's busi-ness. As the eldest son he took Jo-seph's place as the head of the house-hold and became the support of hismother and the other children.

"It cannot be stated too stronglythat no work can degrade you unlessyou first degrade- - your work. Theman who makes an honest chair ortable is as honorable as the man whomakes a sermon. It is not work, butbad workmanship, that is disgraceful.And in his work as a carpenter, asin all else, Jesus is an example to allgood workmen."

Color blindness, hearing, the senseof touch and other perceptions in in-

dividuals can be measured by a newlydesigned apparatus.

Pastor to Resign Despite

Pleas to Contrary.'

DECISION HELD, FINAL

Small Group of Hostile or Discontented Parishioners Declared

Able to Do Much Harm.

I would rather be & scape-go- at

than mar the complete unity of theFirst Congregational church in theleast degree."

This was the declaration of Dr.W. T. McElveen yeBterday afternoonwhen told unofficially that the senti-ment of the great majority of hiscongregation seemed to be thatstrong effort be made to force him toreconsider his resignation as pastor,which he made last week after certainwomen of the church had chargedhim with use of language- - generallydenied a minister,

"As I see my duty now, my decisionto resign is practically final," saidthe pastor. "A very small group ofhostile or discontented parishionerscan rock the foundations of an entirecongregation, and I think too muchof First church to allow myself to bethe cause of dissension in any way,

Other Work to Be Sought.I will seek other work, and I feel

sure that the church will have notrouble in finding another man totake my place. I feel that I havedone all I could to build up the influence and power of First Congregational church and I had plansand hopes for the future of my conJgregauon, Dut tne present situationconvinces me that my duty and thebest interests of the church may b9served through a change in leadership."

First Congregational church had anunusually large attendance at morning services yesterday, and the congregation listened with close attention to the pastor's sermon, delivered in the stimulating manner thathas made him an outstanding figurein the religious' and civic life of thecity.

Hell Called Mind Condition.The pastor made only two state

ments in the course of his sermonthat might be regarded as allusionsto his resignation. In reference tothe value of the body, soul, conscienceand other factors as parts of a man'spersonality, he said: "All the parts of

man s being have value, but theyhave different values. For example.

have my good parts, better parts,best parts. This is not a eulogy ofmyself; neither is it an obituary.' Aripple of sympathetic amusementswept over the congregation at thisremark.

Hell is merely a condition of mind,he said a few minutes later. ' "A lot ofpeople worry about a hell after death,but some of us have been through ahell during the last few days."

Enemies Are Declared Few.At the conclusion of the services

hundreds of men, women and evenchildren of the congregation shookhands with Dr. McElveen and manyxpressed the hope that he would not

leave the pastorate.Members of the church in a position

to know freely declared that all Dr.McElveen's enemies could be found inthe ranks of a very small but activeclique, of the same sort that brought

ction which led to the resignation ofat least two other pastors of thechurch. The great rank and file ofthe membership and most of the realchurch leaders are said to be solidlybehind the pastor. Many prominentmembers of the congregation declaredthat they had no knowledge pftthesituation until accounts of Dr. McElveen's resignation were published inthe newspapers.

Members Pledge Snpport.As soon as his resignation was

made public a large number of theforemost church members telephonedor called upon Dr. McElveen and

Iedged him their full 'support.It was reported on reliable au

thority that a group of officers andprominent members held an informalsession at the church just beforemorning services yesterday.
