East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1905-07-10

There are many indications in Pen
dleton at present that the grain is
getting golden i'm Umatilla county and
that harvest is about here. Around
the half dozen grain brokers' offices
in the city there is an air of busi-
ness that did not prevail a month ago,
and numerous trips are being made by
the various agents to the parts of
the county in which they do the most
of their respective buying.
But a more noticeable sign of the
coming harvest time are the rows of
idle men that are to be seen on Main
street during almost the entire day
now. There are now several score of
such men in the city and in
the forenoons they are seated
on the east side of Main street
for the most part and in the after
noon when the sun beats down upon
that side of the thoroughfare they
may be seen on the curb on the op-
posite side. At one time this fore
noon there were "a men in one solid
row seated i'm front of John Schmidt's s
building.
As to how the supply of labor is
going to hold out when the harvest
really starts it is bard to say and the
grain men and employment agents say
they cannot yet tell. While there are
many idle men here they are not all
really after work. some being more
anxious to avoid than to secure a job.
Then when the bulk of the machines
start a large number of men will be
needed all at once and there is a pos
sibility that there may not be enough
men to go around. Right now it is
said by those who should know that
there Is no difficulty for men who ac-
tually want work to find employment
Wages during the coming harvest
are expected now to be the same as
last. For common labor such as driv-
ing header wagons not les sthan $3.50
will be paid and in soce cases $1.75
to 50 may be given. Then for the
harder and more skilled work better
pay will be given. Header bed load
ers will get from 50 to $3.50; sack
sewers from 50 to SO; header drivers
from SO TO $3.50.

sAcREDNEss OF vows

Rev. Hobson who spoke in the Oli-
text, PAY They Vows Unto the
Lord"
He said: "The world is full of
broken VOWS to God and man. The
couple stands before the altar to be
united in marriage. the man promises
to love, cherish and protect the wo-
man who becomes his wife. Six
months pass and she stands before
the judge asking to be released be-
cause he has been drinking and
abusing her. His VOWS are all for
gotten.
IF the curtain could be lifted to-
night in this sixth district we would
find many skeletons in the closets
where there We're broken vows.
Man wonders if death ends all-no,
because God breathes into man and he
becomes a living soul. He is some
what of God and can no more cease
to live than God can.
1.-TWO friends went to Alaska during
the mad rush for gold. They wero
told there was one very dangerous
place they would have to cross on the
way there. They built boat in part

men started to pass the place of dam
ger beyond which would be safety.
In the rapids the boat was overturned
and one, two, and three went down
and only these two men were left.
One of them who was not a Christian
fell on his knees, threw up his hands
and said, God save us; If you will
save us I will give up my life for
you.' The other man said. take your

"They passed in safety. In less

MANY ACCEPT NEW LIFE
DR.. Slough Believes Boyle Heights
People Unusually Good

At the Boyle Heights Methodist
church last night there was the usual
large attendance and though DR..
Slough still contends that the Boyle
Heights people are more than ordi-
narily good he succeeds in making q
great many persons acknowledge that
they desire to lead different lives. The
evangelist talked last night on the
effect of sin on the conscience and
pointed out five facts which he says
cannot fail to impress themselves on
the lives of those who will heed them.
"Sin defiles the conscience, and is
not safe guide.
''Sn sears the conscience of men
and destroys finer parts of the moral
nature.
'Sin weakens the conscience.
"Sin shackles the conscience.
"Thank God sin cannot kill the con-
science"
Francis Murphy was present and
made a short and stirring talk at the
close of the meeting.

Following the sermon large number

room and DR.. Healy the women in the

ONE SIN is UNPARDoNABLE
Preacher Says Worst Offense Is t.
Deny Personality of Holy Spirit

"The objectionable Sin," was the
topic of the sermon preached by Evan
gelist Biederwolf at the University
Methodist church last evening to a
large congregation. Prof. James. A..
Patterson rendered a vocal selection,
"A Clean Heart. Prof Maxwell also
sang.
DR.. Beiderwolf took for his text,
John 12:S9: Therefore they could not
believe" He said in part
whether sin is pardonable or un-
pardonable depends upon the view
point. There are many things looked
at from human standpoint which are
unpardonable, but which are pardonable
with God.
what is the meaing of the serious
passages in Gods word? You know
how to pray, Pray for the people. A
man once came to me at the close of
service and said he had committed
the objectionable sin. told him that
If he was in that state of mind re-
garding it, it certainly was not unpar-
donable. objectionable sin is viewed
from two points. While you might do
some act, it is not the nature of the
act as much as the condition of the
heart to commit such sin.
"A man commits the objectionable
sin when he denies the personality Of
the holy spirit. There is no crime for
which Christs blood will not flow If
man only begs Jesus at the hand Of
God. objectionable sin simply marks
the line OF resistance beyond which a
man cannot go.
"There is a consolation to every man
and woman unsaved who have thoughts
concerning their souls. If a man will
not do thing, there will come time
when he shall not do II. You harden
your heart long enough and by the
laws OF nature 1t will lose its capacity

POINTS DUTY OF MOTHERS
Or. Chapman Gives Rules for Spiritual
Training of Children

A special mothers meeting was con-
Quoted yesterday afternoon at the
First Methodist church by DIR. Chap
man in which he pointed out the duty
of a mother to her children and to
God.
In the course of his sermon he gave
several rules by which the relation OF
a christian mother to her child should
be governed.
First-Set right example before
them. A mothers influence win hold
when everything else fails. There is
something in a christian mothers kiss
which fifty years of contact with the
world cannot take away.
Seeond-Select a favorable time to
talk with your children. There is a
time in every child's life when a right
word spoken by consistent mother

that hell was the product of mans
own life.
"The torment of the lost naturally
divides itself into two parts-that tor
ment which is without and that which
is within. How the soul will be sur
rounded and what will be the environ
ment is a matter of Interpretation and
conjecture, and in spite of the many
views which have been expressed re-
garding it, the Scripture does not re-
veal these things.
"If you accept the literal interpreta-
| tion of the description of hell fire II
would be less horrible and less of he'll
than to make this language fgurat1ve
We have to consider many special
features of the external torment. That
of being tortured by demons or old
companions is the first.
"It would be little comfort for pa
rent to meet a child or a child to meet
parent in the place of the lost. 1t
would be torture to both. There
could be nothing else than hell in the
meeting between the murderer and the
victim.
"To be alone would be one of the
worst things that we could conceive.
Eternal absence from God and from all
good. God has unlimited space at his
command and hell could be place
large enough to have every one alone
and in utter darkness.
whether the literal flames of hell
are external we know not. We know
of the burning of conscience, but is
the flame outside of the soul or inside
If it is believed that the flame is fig
urative rather than the real, it is worse
than the illustration would indicate
Although we may speculate as to wha;
is the external torment of the soul
there is no doubt of the anguish of the
soul internally of those who die with
out salvation. The eternal friction
which sin necessitates goes on in the
soul of the unregenerate.
"The regrets, the self accusation, the
self elimination, the remorse, the
agony OI CUlSClcilCS against SCil' I1NCi y

ut is the worm that never dies; it is
the fire that is never quenched; it is
the wrong that is never righted; 1t is
1.-THE eternal saving between the moral
judgment and the old habits of sin and
self indulgence.
IF this is not recognized as hell il
is because one does not see the sources
of torture"
The speaker said in conclusion:
"God leaves it to mans choice to ac-
cept Christ or turn from him to self
rule, self government, self indulgence
and at last eternal self torture.
1.-The torment of the lost is self
inflicted penalty of the miserable reign
of unrestrained selfishness."

men vulgarly term it, stuffed" but
there were one or two who believed in
guarding the ballot and being assured
of the delegate by her badge.
CONSERVATION, a weakening of the
president, autocrat and august board
ensued, however, when one rathec
timid but knowing member announced
that most of the delegates had given
or sent their badges away within a
few hours of their arrival as souvenirs
of the occasion.
However. the matter was finally set
tied.
One of the brightest of the many
bright lights who have graced the
federation is Mrs. e. j. Thane of
Ridge road, Berkeley, one of the vice
presidents from Alameda district.
Mrs. Thane is brilliant woman of
the sort who tries to dispel conviction
that she is brilliant or witty through
sheer good sense and modesty, but
who never succeeds in hiding her
light under bushel.
She is a member of the Country club
of Niles, in Washington township,
Alameda county and her report yes
terday was interspersed with clever
epigrams and an abundance of wit.
Singer. writer and speaker, combined
with a soul filled with good humor,
make her welcome in all circles.
But to her accomplishments Mrs.
Thane lays no stress. She has accom-
plished the publishing of a club book.
which under her direction was pub-
lished last year and to which all con-
tributions were made from the club.
SO rare history is it of the land
marks and early settlers of Cali
fornia and so filled with local color
that 1t has been given a place In the
free libraries Of the north, fact which
makes 1t stand out unique in the cate

would change the whole current of
life
Third-Pray for and with them. One
of the most distinguished preachers
in the world testified to the fact that
it was his mothers prayer, and she
did not know that he was listening
that led him to Christ.
Two or three other things are GER
tainly true concerning mothers, AMI
should never be forgotten.
First-An inconsistent mother has no
influence over her children.
Second-A worldly mother will al
ways fail to direct and control the
spiritual nature of her children.
