Is Religious Faith Declining
BY REV. J. L. JONES, D. D.

Broadly speaking modern scientists may be divided into two classes-those who believe in an over-rullng providence and these who are professed atheists or ag- nostics. To the latter class and their fcl- lowers is mainly due the persistent and industrious dissemination of the fallacy that religious faith is on the wane, and that 1t is only a question of time until Christianity shall lose it's hold upon the minds of men and give place to the re- ligion of nature, whatever that may mean. They dogmatically assert that the foundations of the faith which supplanted Pagansm and has swayed the world through so many centuries have been nearly overturned that the inspired au- thority upon which they rest is proved to be no authority at all. Now all this is q bald assumption. And, moreover, h. stead Of being new it is very, very old. In the nineteen centuries and more of its existence, Christianity has been engaged in constant bottle for It's very exist. nee, and ever and always has it come out victorious.

Neither in the masterpieces of art nor in the purest examples of v.r- tue, neither In the Great First Cause nor in the awful enigma of the grave, could he see anything but subjects for droI- lery. The more solemn and august the theme, the more monkey-like was his grimmacing and chatterlng." The modern Voltaires can read in the fate of their great predecessor the prophecy of their own.
 Never in all the ages has Christianity been stronger, greater, more powerful than it is in these opening years of the twentieth century. The Bible holds its

While returning from Nezpercc late
Tuesday evening MFR. Hancock and Mrs.
Hanson were thrown from their buggy
and narrowly escaped serious injury.
AS they were coming i'ito the upper end
of town one of the horses SHE'D and
broke the neckyoke strap, letting the
buggy tongue down. Tlc horses started
to run and the tongue raii into the
ground and threw Mr.. Hancock out. A
few feet farther and the tnngue again
went into the ground, throwing Mrs.
Hanson ont In front and the buggy
wheel caught her hip aud scrapcd her
pretty badly. The team did not go far
until the lines got wou,ni up and stop-
ped it. Mr.. Hancock was not hurt at
all but Mrs. Hanson was rather severely
bruised abont the body and head.
We were over. TO Westlake Saturday
and noticed quite change in tha,
thrifty village in the last six months
Several new buildings have been put up,
the merchants are doing good business
and everything looks prosperous. The
Westlake mill, under the able manage
ment o. Q. d. Stewart, is working stead
ilv and is hardly able to furnish -four
enough to supply the demand. 1t has
an extensive trade over the mountain
and Nezperce prairie. and is doing an
excellent business. Crom & Stewart
have also purchased the Pennock store
and viii put in a larger stock Of goods
and generally improve the same in the
near future. Westlake is a good point
and as its citizens are thrifty and pro-
gressiye the town is bound to come to
the front.

The Gateway To Yellowstone Park.

Tourists to Yellowstone Park now en-
joy the novelty of entering the Park
through the imposing stone arch recent
ly erected at Gardiner; the cornerstone
of which was laid by President Roose-
welt during his visit to the Park in April.
The Northern Pacific trains now use
the new railway station nearing COM
pletion at that point, and which is with
out a doubt the most unique and inter-
esting structure of its kind in the coun.
try. The station is large and commodi-
Gus, and was erected ut a cost of 500, 900,
including the arrangement and beauti-
flying of the grounds. 1t is supplied
with all modern conyeniences, and the
grounds adjacent have been made at
tractive by the planting of trees and
lawns. 1t is located upon the banks OF
an artificial lake, the water of which is
brought from the Gardiner river as it
rushes out IF the Park into the Yellow
stone. The water is as pure as crystal,
and will be used to supply Gardiner
with fire protection and for domestic
purposes. The depot is constructed in
rustic style, and is both interesting and
attractive. The railway company has
joined with the government in making
the surroundings about Gardiner, the
gateway to Yellowstone Park, an at
tractive feature of the park tour.
