gineer did not at first pay any attention to
her. but there was something so determined
In her gestures, and the wild run she was
making that he finally stopped the train.
When 1t came to a standstill a little boy
tumbled OF the pilot and rolled down the

sistence Of the teacher the engineer would
not nave stopped and when the train gained
greater Roadway the little fellow undoubt-
edly would have been shaken from the pilot
and killed.

INCREASE IN CORN.
Kirk VIII Experiment VIII! the Fa-
nous Hannah Barley.

Athena Press:-While in Athena
last week Col. Judson, Of the O. r.
& n. Industrial department made an
arrangement with T. ]. Kirk to SOW an
experimental field of the famous Han
nan barley, the foremost brewing bar
ley, in Germany, and the result of this
trial will be watched with interest by
the company and the entire communi-
ty. He estimates there were grown
in Umatilla county this year a total
Of 5000 acres of corn, which averaged
20 bushels per acre. Among the far
mers growing the largest acreage
were Charles Wilkes, with 100 acres
Charles Brotherton. with 80; T. K.
Kirk and Robt. Coppick, with 40, and
many others with 40 to 35 acres.
Many of the small crops averaged 80
bushels and T. J. Kinks crop averaged
35 bushels per acre.
The corn grown in Umatilla county
is the Dakota yellow dent variety, and
the seed was brought to this county

by M. Judson and r. 3. Miller,
freight agent of the O. r. & ~, five
years ago, from North Dakota. These
gentlemen distributed $50 worth of
seed among the farmers of the county
and the acreage has increased from
perhaps so acres five years ago, to
5000 acres, averaging % bushels per
acre this year.
Mr.. Judson feels a justifiable pride
in this record, as it was with diff
Guilty that he secured a promise from
the farmers to give the first corn
crop room to grow Oh their land.
Seed to the amount of $50 was also
distributed last year and the COM
pany Will continue this progressive
policy until eastern Oregon is pro-
ducing some valuable crop on every

birth Of Jesus has put upon all human
relations. Our planet is no longer in
significant but occupies a place of su-
preme Importance along the heavenly
bodies.
The body is honored as the tenn
pie of divinity. Especially has child
hood taken new and glorious dis
tinction, SO that the little child is no
longer despised but is Illuminated and
TRANSPORTED by the childhood of Jesus
and is forever sacred as the type of the
kingdom of heaven. Poverty and work
also gain new value from the coming
of the Son of God into the hardships
of the poor and into the labor Of COM

Finally Christmas has given to man
the fourfold hope of pardOned sin,
perfect manhood, world at peace and
an immortal life. Such is the fact and
such the glory of the incarnation May
we not in all reverence say, that it adds
a new glory to our vision of God as
we behold him through the fact of

INCARNATION A FACT
,r,ec CERTAIN THAT GOD DWELLS
IN EVERY HUMAN LIFE TO
SOME EXTENT.
Rev. Austin Rice Spoke OF the Glory
Which Jesus Birth Puts On HUI
man Relations.

Rev. Austin Rice of the First ConSre-
rational church delivered very i'm
nressive sermon Sunday morning, the
church being crowded with members
He said in part:
"A mystery must not be COMPOUNDED
with a falsehood. The ocean con-
tains mysteries beyond human ken,
but the ocean is not mirage. Inc
Word became flesh How, we do not
fully understand. yet the Incarnation
is none the less a fact
God dweIls in every human life to
some extent. Each man has a
conscience. a moral nature and a
soul. All men are in some degree
expressions of God. In Jesus Christ
We find these divine qualities appear
ing without blemish. His likeness TO
the Father in love and the obedient
viii was complete. He was without
sin. The doctrine of the Incarnation
is an attempt to explain these facts
of mans divinity and of the pre-eml-
nent divinity of Christ by setting the
life Of the Savior III the framework
of the divine plan, or to use the figure
of DR.. Fairbairn of oxford, ITO read
the story of Jesus as a chapter in the
life of God
THE difficulties Of this doctrine
spring from mistaken conceptions Of
God. God has not shut himself out OF
his own works. Nature is not bar
rier between him and personality. The
truest and deepest views Of God THINK
of him as a person. a father, spirit.
1t is not strange that the mountain
peak should mirror itself in the crys-
tai lake. nor that the great author OF
being should seek to express himself
in the book of life which he he is writ
ing with the ages. The strange thing
would be for God to leave himself out,
of his own world. The coming of the
divine nature in Jesus is the fulfill
ment of the expectations of men as
shown in the prayers and literature
of even pagan peoples.

Meeting of Ball Macnates.

| CHICAGO, III, Dec 2S.-Who shall

the principal matter to be decided at
the annual meeting of the American
| Baseball Association begun today at
! the Grand Pacific hotel Circuit
changes and other matters Of import
| ance Will come up, but the paramount
| question before the meeting is that
concerning the presidency. At meet
ing Of the association in October, Pres
ident Hickey gave notice that he
would retire from baseball and resign
from the presidency. Since then the
magnates have been casting about for
4 successor, and up to the present time
it appears that they have not been able
TO decide who it shall be: 1t has been
reported that Hickey's designations has
a string to it and that he is not so
anxious to get out of the league as he
would make believe. However this
may be the chances appear to be
against his retention of the presidency
in view of the strong opposition CT
Tebeau of Louisville and of one or two
other magnates. 1t is we'll known that
if Tom Lotus, who expected to retire
from the Washington club of the
American League, We're available, he
could have the presidency. Unless
some such strong man as Lotus or J.
H. Farrell is chosen it is likely that
the league will continue under the
management of an executive board.
