forgiveness and life, and through the
human Christ love and sympathy.
What we are doubting-what we are
failing to believe today, is that there
is One who has a genuine disinterest-
ed love for us. That there is One
whose sympathy is with us in the
hard tasks of daily l'fe. One who in
tenderness is lenient to our faults
One whose intimate knowledge of our
condition gives us the sense Of SYM
pathy and fellowship. One whose
compassionate words of comfort and
hope are whispered in our ears in the
deepest darkest trials of life. Oh that
we do not believe that there is One
who is willing to sit down with us and
IN calmness help us to unravel the
cares and perplexities Of life, and as
sist us to solve the tangled problems
that confront us and that we must
solve alone.
The sadness of life is not to believe
in Him. He'll is to be without His
sympathy.
There are times when Christian min
listers and Christian people come to
us with a seeming interest, and no
doubt often it is a real interest But
as we analyZe it, too frequently we
suspect that it is only a desire to
build up their church. or to show them
vate advantage. We fear that our
welfare, which they claim to be seek
ing, is a motive somewhat more re-
mote. But when Christ comes to a
heart, He comes with dsinterested
and sincere love. He has proved that
love by heroism in his life suffering
and death which is unmistakable He
stands ready to demonstrate it again
to us today in a way adapted to your
own peculiar understanding.
Receive Him, and He will show you
His intimate power to sympathize, to
assist and to relieve you, which shall
bring to mind that compassion He
showed in His earthly lifetime when
He beheld the multitudes as sheep
without shepherd. You will then
recall that He is the same Christ who
with grief over SHINING sorrowing
world unreconciled to the Father as
cended the cross for your sake and
broke his heart over your sins. He is
the same yesterday and today He it
is who wishes to take His place in our
lives today, and by sympathy, Uner-
ring wisdom and constant love trans
form us into His own likeness
Let us ring the bells of salvation.
and as we equip ourselves for the life
that now is and the life which is to
come. accept Christ to take away sin,
Christ to give life. Christ to love,
world without end, Amen.

Before a large audience Rev An
5reas Bard, rector of st. Paurs Epis-
ranal church yesterday delivered an
interesting discourse on prejudice
The pastors sermon in part was as
follows:
It is no easy task to say some
thing about religion in which thinking
paople will agree. Phillips Brooks,
cardinal Gibbons, Ingersoll and Alex
arder Dowie have a variety Of opin-
ions. However, we may take it for
e~aotad that there is no serious objec-
ton in any quarter to the statement
that the old civilization of Greece and
Rome needed a revival badly in the
favs Of Christ and that in point of
fact 2 world revolutiOn was wrought
Inv the plain preacher of Palestine. In
making this statement We reserve a

Spectator:-F. B. Morse, county

ton of cereals, fruits, etc, for the
st. Louis fair. Mr.. Morse says that
while our fruit collection will not be
up to the standard. the collection Of
cereals and grasses will be very fine.
He stated that among his collections
are samples of twenty-five varieties Of
nuts. Mr.. Morse said that he had no
idea that the Walla Walla valley pro-
diced such a variety of nuts until he
includes pecans walnuts as fine as
those of California, rd-shelled all

Mr.. Kirkman came out to meet a band

worse; suffice it to saw that the reyo-

VI 'iidl revolution we have a Christian
clVlilzatlon of which our present Amer
icah government is a part.
The history of that revolution was
not an act; it was a process. SLOWLY
ana gradually the principles of Jesus
nave been adopted in our national So
cal and individual relations: nor can
lhere De any doubt that a good many
Oh THESE principles are as yet unrealiz-
ed by the Christian world at large. In
the case of the United States we find
lldt the Purltans played an import
ant role They were stern, brave
laW-abiding citizens. They had few
faults, but they had many virtues And
II we ask what was the inspiring mo-
1--WE IN all their transactions, in the
forming or the government, in the
establishment Of social and national
principles, we must answer that it was
thelr religious conviction, their faith
IN God and the moral aspect of life
that resulted from that faith
That the faith of the Puritans has
largely vanished can no longer be de-
MED. There are of course some stern
and uncompromising Christians left
IN the world. But the bulk of modern
humanity is either lukewarmly relig-
lous outspokenly agnostic or hopeless
~ Indifferent toward the question of
fllate. Again we reserve our judgment
as to whether or not such a thin at
utude in regards to the great problem
OF Christianity is desirable. We only
state the fact, and then ask the Ques-
ton, What will be the result of this
fact upon the future of our civilization?
Can a government based upon relig-
lOuS principles continue to exist after
seVenty-fVe per cent of it's citizens
have lost contact with those religious
principles? Can the form survive
long, after the spirit has departed ?
Can there be a live body without a
soul? Can there be. an effective moral
system after the Sermon of the
Mount has become merely a pretty
sentiment and the decalOgue of Moses
the notion of some fellow who lived
some thousand years ago? Policemen.
jaiIs and hand-cuffs will of course
continue to have considerable weight
with the rabble, but what about the
millions who are supposed to be guild
ed by intellect rather than by fear?
At this juncture we welcome a fac
tor which has come into play after
religion has made it's exit This fac
tor is prejudice. The atheist the
skeptic, the Indifferent no longer will
ing to follow Christ, have found a sub
stitute. They follow cant, convention
ality and custom. They do right be-
cause it is the proper thing" They
are good citizens, because it is Gus
tom or policy. They do not cross the
dead line because it means the falling
out with society. Prejudice is there
fore the goddess of the twentieth CEN
fury. AS long as this divinity has
sufficient following, consistent and
logical anarchy will be froWned upon.
That without some religious conviction
some high ideals all righteousness and
prOpriety are but sounding brass"
and thinking cymbals" has occurred
to precious few and these precious
few are not likely to advertise a fact
which might set into motion the fam
ing volcano on the thin crust of which
we are dancing.
