An Omen Letter from Rev, EIiOt.

Hood River, Oregon, May 6, 1903
No one can be more sincerely panied
than | that some of our Christian breth.
rem in this community have upon con-
scientious grounds felt unable to join me
in worship of our common Father on
Memorial Sunday, an occasion In which
sectarian differences should have no
place. Rather than be the innocent
cause of any un-Chrstian feeling in any
quarter, would gladly withdraw from
the honorable Office requested of me for
that occasion, could now do 80 with
self respect and without seeming to con-
cede the justice of the implied arraign-
ment of my position.
The religious situation in Hood River
is one requiring charity and forbearance
on the part of ALL 1t is a time when
people on one side as we'll as on the
other may be tempted to speak inconsid-
erately. | would urge upon all careful
self-control OF speech and feeling.
l deprecate theological controversy
as likely to breed unkind feelings and
memories. Few if any prejudices and
hatreds are worse than those conceived
and nurtured in the name of religion.
Earnest convictions and fervid loyalties
are not inconsistent with fraternal good
will among those OF differing faiths.
desire to say, in as public way as
possible, that | do not bear the least
resentment toward those who directly or
by implication misrepresent me to the
community. / think that such misrep-
resentation is not intentional, and have
no reason to believe that any personal
ill-will toward me is involved. | would
rather see the church which am serv-
ing break and fall than to see its success
based on nothing more sure and perma-
nent than what seem to us the mistaken
Calumnies OF those who honestly believe
us to be in error.
My memory for insults is very poor
but | never mean to forget kindness.
| shall ever remember with gratitude
the generous act of one of the orthodox
ministers of Hood River in lending me
the hymn books of his church for my
first service here, and shall continue to
feel under obligations to him.
He and | will surely agree in this
That religion is the most important
thing in the world for every human
soul and that every man and woman in
this community should give careful
study to religious problems and faithful
heed TO religious duties. And he and
will surely agree that every one, setting
aside all selfish interests, should have
the moral courage to stand openly and
loyalty by his honest convictions,
whether they be orthodox or heterodox.

Frankton school House Sold.

The old school house at Frankton has
been sold to Frank Davenport, and
Tuesday workmen commenced to move
it to its new location on Mr. Davenport
land across the road. This building
was erected In 1881. 1t was the first
building worthy of the name of school
house ever built in Hood River valley.
1t was built by private subscriptions.
The district at the time voted against
building a new school house and the en-.
terprising citizens of the Frankton and
Belmont neighborhoods raised the mon-
ey to build. About this time the dis
trict was divided, Barrett district and
the town district being set off. The
building was afterwards sold to the
district for $500, probably about one
third of its cost. A new and modern build
ing will be erected on the site of the old
Frankton school house. The directors
have not vet let the contract and may
decide to have the work done by paving
carpenters and others by the day.

With such men as these to oppose them
the kids soon found they were up against
it. But they put up stiff game, con-
sidering the fact that they were minus
two of their regular men-Blowers, who
was hurt in the game the Sunday pre-
ceding, is still little sore, and Sheets,
who had other business and was not
able to play. The work of Charles Cast
ner at second for the married men and
that of Tompkins behind the bat for the
single men is worthy of mention. As
things stand now honors are even, each
team having won game. The next
game, which will be played on the
grounds on the hill next Sunday, will
decide the championship.
The Hood River team has received a
challenge from The Dalles team for q
game to be played here in the near
future. For this occasion, an all-star
team picked from both the married and
single men will be chosen. Hood River
has the timber, and there is no reason
why we should not have the best anna
teur team in the state. Let us play

The Sabbath.

Elder G. A. Wyman announces by
circular that he will give a series of lee
lures upon the above subject Follow
ing Is copy of the circular:
The speaker'sreasons for bringing this
question clearly before the people are
First: There is no law upon the stat.
ute books of heaven commanding man
to rest on the first day of the week, OF
Sunday, nor forbidding mankind in
any sense 10 labor thereon.
SECOND: There are laws upon the stat
ute books of men with penalties at
tached, forhiddng mankind TO labor on
that day But the statutes OF men in
commanding to rest on the first day OF
the week, contrayine and make void
the law of God which distinctly COM
mands the observance of the seventh
day. An increasing minority of the
people believe in obeying God rather
than men. And governments in max
ing the first day of the week obligatory
invade the law of the Almighty, think
ing to change its precepts, and presume
to judge those who refuse submission,
and in so doing usurp the place and
prerogative of God. All this is contrary
to Jesus Christ, who taught ''if any
man believe not judge him not, and
contrary to American principles of gov
ernment in that it invades the domain
of conscience whose sacred rights it has
guaranteed TO protect
All this is foretold and prophetically
a message is due and beingsgiven to the
world warning mankind against this
evil thing. The subject win be clearly
presented, in Christian caDdor in all its
phases, that all who will can know for
themselves the truth. This is an inn
porlant issue, for it means fine and inn
prisonment or harsher measures to
many and final appeal to the court OF
heaven for justice. Come and hear.

Deserving Of Praise.

Ii usually remains for outside papers
to sing the praises of local hero. That
the smallpox situation has developed
genuine heroes in our city no one
doubts, but in the excitement con-
,e1uent upon its existence the fact is
nearly overlooked. When person
knowingly risks their life to aid II SUI
terer of this dread disease, he or she
stamps themselves as a brave person
deserving Of praise. OF those unfortu-
mates in our little city who met the
en- ergency and contracted the disease
none are more deserving of praise than
DR.. j. II. Rosenberg. Immediately
upon developing symptoms he isolated
himself from his home, wife and baby
and took up his abode mt the pest house,
where he is doing nicely. Miss Neva
Kizer, who nursed Miss R0nda Clay.
pool through her illness is also deserv-
ing of the greatest praise. Mrs. George
summers and Robert Harrington con-
tracted the disease in the faithful per-
formance of their duty and are included
im0ng those who made sacrifice
which should be and is appreciated. 1t
is such people that rise to an emergency
with good grace meet it and make the
best of it, and to them we all owe
debt of gratitude.-Prineville Journal.

Axtel Rahm Writes to Robert Rand.

Robert Rand received an interesting
letter from Axtel Rahm last week. AK.
tells letters always read like romances
He writes in glowing terms of the fine
l,500 and 1000 pound blooded draft
horses and fat kline on the big 400 and
500 acre farms in his native land. Poor
fellow, 400 acre farm with few we'll
fed animals looks so big in that little
kingdom of the North, that he forgets the
10000 and 100, 900 acre farms with their
teeming herds of Shorthorns, Clydes and
Percherons of our own country; but he
hasn't entirely forgotten the land of his
adoption, for he writes that a ship load
OF North Carolina fertilizers had Just
come into port and that he was going
down and go on board and stand with
his feet upon sack of that fertilizer,
take off his hat and say to the wonder
ing Svenskas about him: "This once
belonged to and was part of the Unit
ed States, where the brilliant folds of
Old Glory forever undulates on the free
winds of heaven" Axtel is not so slow,
after all. Come home, old fellow, we
need YOU here.
