MODERN VS.. OLDEN METHODS.
A Correspondent Notes the Deeadence In
Sunday School Work.

EDITOR WASHINGTON STANDARD:
Permit me to express my hearty
thanks for your outspoken convictions
in regard to the status of our present
Sunday School system, as published in
the last issue OF your valuable paper.
l only regret that you did not 20 far
Their and delve deeper into the merits
Of the case.
have risen from the infant class
through all the successive gradations
to the proud position of Sunday School
Superintendent, and from my present
standpoint of observation think my
self able to form a candid opinion rela-
tive to this question. The point is
we'll taken when you deprecate the
utter ignorance of young people gen.
orally as to the literature OF Holy
Writ. Concerning the great esse n.
tials Of the Old and New Testaments,
their ignorance is as dense as the
bigotry that prevails in every church
and Sunday school to-day. Ask the
boys and girls, the young men aud
young women of our best regulated
families-Christian families, mean
to repeat in consecutive order the books
OF the Old and the New Testaments /;
ask them to define and give in their
own language the meaning of the
titles designating the first five books
OF the Old Testament, ask them to re-
cite, as Moses wrote them, the ten
commandments, which constitute the
basis of all human legislation; ask
them what is to be understood by such
terms as "The Beati,udes," the
"Christian Graces," the "Scheme OF
Salvation" etc. Ask them any of
these questions and see how utterly
unable they will be to answer them
intelligently.
Thomas Starr King pronounced the
twenty-third Psalm to be the Lords
prayer OF the Old Testament; but how
many Sunday School scholars can re-
cite it? How many Sunday school
teachers in Olympia can point out the
poetical passages of the Bible2 Well,
Mr.. Editor, have gone far enough,
think, to reinforce you, somewhat. in
the good work you have so nobly un-
dertaken. A fond memory, a sigh,
and q tear for the old.fashioned Sum
day school. YoKE-FELLow.

Death Of Logan HAYS.

1t is now seldom week passes the
SrANDARn is not called upon to
. chronicle the death of some one Of the
early pioneers "f the State They are
going fast and soon their presence
here and the part they took in bring
ing this country under civilized rule
will only bo known hy the fragm en-
tary traditions of the past.
1t is this week William Logan
Hays who has joined the majority on
the opposite sands of the shores of
time. He died Monday morning
about four O'Clock, at Tuniwater. De.
ceased had been confined to his room
the past two months, but he had never
completely recovered from Il shock of
paralysis he sustained several wears
ago, and this made the encroachments
OF time the more easy in stillng the
once vigorous and robust frame.
William Logan Hays was born near
Lexington, Pulaski county, Kentucky.
March IL, 1911. In 1869 he crossed
the plains to California, where he re-
manned until 1851. In that year he
returned east to Saline county, Mis-.
souri,, where he was married. In
1882 he again started on the long and
hazardous trip across the plains.
bound for Oregon. He was member
of the noted party which included
Judge Gilmore Hays, a brother of
Logan's, DIR. N. Ostrander and Thomas
Prather, OF this csty, and Hillory But
Ter and George Frye, of Seattle. 1t is
said OF this party that it contained
more children than any other party
that ever crossed the plains. After
many hardships the party reached
The Dalles, Oregon, in the fall of 1852.
Logan Hays shortly afterwards left
that place and spent the winter in
Portland. In the spring of 1853 he
came to this county and took I'D
ranch, and has resided here ever since.
He owned and conducted a farm
south of Tumwater for many years.
Mr.. Hays never held public office, his
nearest approach to it being a few
years he spent as farmer on the Mes.
qually reservation. He was a Quiet,
unobtrusive man, of whom it could |
truly be said he never had an enemy.
His wife died in 1883, since which |
time he has lived with his son Charles.
He Was the father of five children, but
one of whom is living, Charles HAYS.
He was ar uncle of Hon. C. NJ. HAYS.
Attorney General of Idaho; an uncle
also OF j. M. Hays, of Seattle, Mrs. ]. |
q. Parker and Thomas Prather, of this
city. He was brother of Judge, and
later Major, Hays, who gained a name
during the Indian war of 1856.

From our Regular Currespon lent.

About 10 O'Clock Saturday night an
an unknown man entered the house of
Frank Schunemann, at Pasco, and at
tackled Mrs Schunemann with O
scythe, and was shot and killed by her
son, Louis Schunemann. The dead
man was tramp, He had presented
himself at the house the previous
evening and asked for food, which was
furnished him. During the night he
returned and entered the house,
awakening Mrs. Schunemann, who
called her son. He left the room a mo.

with the scythe which he had secured
in the garden. Schunemann, hearing
his mothers screams, rushed to the
scene with rifle. In the darkness he
was afraid to shoot, but finally sue

MARK Jones, a constant reader oil
the STANDARD, q native of Gloucester
England, corrects the statement that
the first efforts of Robert Raikes in
establishing Sunday schools were made
in London. He says it was in his ma.
tive city about the close OF 1881, that
Raikes began this philanthropic labor.
Our correspondent is correct in the
matter, but it was not long till he ex.
tended his work to the great metrop.
oils, from whence it spread to this
country in 1885, when Bishop Asbury
established the first Sunday school in
this country, on the Raikes' plan.
Robert Raikes was born in Gloucester
in 1875. He died in 1911.

with the weak, vacillating course Of

they take this means of expressing
their disapprobation of the executive

AMERICAN war.ships have been or

for the distinction against us hitherto

American mines on this coast, and
that storage room on Government YES.
sells was such an important requisite
that the difference in cost cut no very
great figure. But it is said that this
belief is based upon tests made many
years ago, before the American lodges
had been fully developed, and that at.
tention has been called to the fact
that conditions if they really ever had
grounds for existence have changed, as
is shown by the fact that foreign.
bound merchant vessels invariably

ence is worth something when it is
taken into account that every availa.

the new policy will give full protec-

ginning will be inaugurated by the

Peace again reigns on the border
line, and what promised to lead TO
more bloodshed has ended in peace
full set lement. says the Bisbee Orb of
the oath 1t was feared last night that
the cowboys would make an attempt to
rescue rhodes and Marts, but this was
made unnecessary, as after a confer
ence Of several hours it was decided TO
release Rhodes and to give Marts
trial at Naco this morning. Marts
could have been released on bond last
night, but decided to stand trial this
morning. as no evidence could be pro-
duced against him Il is the sincere
wish of all that this will end the trou-
BILE between the cowboys and the
guards, as it not only caused blood
shed but innocent parties are made to
suffer.
