A GOOD CREED.-We have the following
sent to us N We believein in Gods providen-
tial care and in his infinite love. That in all
our duties and cares we may feel his presence,
and find his guidance and help. ~ We believe
that this world is school for the training,
redemption, and elevation of men. (3) We be-
lieve that Christ came not to save us from
Gods wrath but from our errors and sins, and
to win us by his mission to the knowledge and
love of heavenly life. (4) We believe that by
all honest and noble work, and all innocent re-
creations, we may enrich and gladden. our
earthly lives. (5) We believe that death should
be viewed not as our foe, taking from us with
relentless hand the dearest objects of our
love, but our friend, sent to bear our kindred
and friends and ourselves up to other and
brighter mansions of our Fathers house. (6)
We believe that men are to be measured not
by their professions, or creeds, but by their
fruits-by the aim and temper Of their daily
lives Christian Life.
TAKING COLD.--The Perisc0pe says, "When
person begins to shiver, the blood is receding
from the surface; congestion, to greater or
less extent has taken place. and the patient
has already taken cold, to be followed by fever,
inflammation of the lungs neuralgia, rheu-
matism, &c. All these evils can be avoided
and the cold expelled by walking, or in some
cided reaction in the system. The exercise
should be sufficient to produce perspiration.
If you are so situated that you can get glass
of hot water to drink, it will materially aid
the perspiratiOn, and in every way assist ma
ture i'll her efforts to remove the cold. This
course followed, your cold is at all end, and
whatever disease it would ultimate in is avoid
ed; your sufferings are prevented, and your
doctors bills saved.''
How OREGON YOUTH ARE ADVISED
Young men contemplating marriage have so
frequently called upon us to advise them in the
manner Of popping the all-important question,
that we have concluded to give our opinion
once for ALL Never propose to a young lady
after hearty meal. The blood is needed to
aid digestion, and her imagination is chilled.
Nor should it come just before meal for the
lOngings of all impOrtuned system conduce to
anxiety and rritablity, and the shock may
prove hazardous. 1t would be better to select
the evening, and invite her to some entertain
ment which you know she wants to attend, and
then propose to her just she is ready to start.
This will he greatly to your advantage, for she
will easily see that a rejection will upset an
evenings entertainment. (Oregon)

AN ODD GENIUs.-In 1924 there died at
Treleaven, Cornwall, England, at the age Of
85, most learned but eccentric divine, Mr.
Lyme, for fifty years vicar of that parish. His
chief popularity was a dread of cOntamina-

thing that had been touched by others. He
allowed no one to approach quite close to him
nor would he put on any clothes until he had
fumigated them. He never touched money
until it had been washed or brushed. In the
coolest weatherhe never had fire. His health
was excellent.
