is CHURCH UNION NEAR?

Nearly every Protestant denomina-
tion found in Pendleton is largely
Represented every night in the con-
gregations attending the Needham
meetings now being held at the Pres
byterian church
The meetings are not doctrinal nor
dogmatic in their scope nor intent.
They are for the increase of Christian
citizenship, and the extension of truly
religious sentiment among men.
No matter what church you belong
to or wish to belong to you will hear
nothing offensive nor repellant. And
why should you hear such, in meet
ing Of Christian people? Are you not
all treadlng the same pathway, re-
turning to the same voiceless dust and
cherishing the same resplendent
hope?
The union OF the churches is the
one splendid hope of the idealist
The united efforts now witnessed
among all the Christian denomina-
tions taking an interest in these meet
ings gives promise of ultimate ANAL
gamation. Where the hands and
hearts are Joined in worship, it is bu
another step to a union of faith.
While Mr.. Needham is workint
under the direction of the Presbyter
fan evangellstic board, yet the con
yerts of the Needham meetings do no
necessarily become Presbyterians.
The scope of this evangelism is 81

Indian Boy Frozen.

The body of To Sa Pompa, an In
dian boy about IS years old, was
found by some Indians four miles
south Of here today. He had not been
seen since last Saturday, when on the
road to Pocatello. From indications
he was evidently frozen to death that
night on his way back. Tracks in the
snow show where he had gotten of
his horse, possibly to warm himself
by exercise, and had been too cold to
get back on. Last Saturday night was
particularly cold one, the thermom-
eter going to 20 below zero.--Pocatel-

broad and truly Christian that a per-
son converted in these MEETINGS may
become allied with the church of his
choice.
The extension of Christianity
among men is a far more noble and
glorious purpose than the advance
ment of any man-made church or
creed
II men forsake The darkness for
the light, no matter what superficial
title they take on their change of
heart, this is sufficient reward for the
church promoting these meetings.

In July, 1883, began to break out with
Eczema on my head, legs and arms, and
began treatment with local doctors, but
did not get much relief. They said the dis
ease had become chronic. Ithen quit them
and tried various ointments and soaps for
another two years, but as soon as cold
weather came was as bad off as ever, so l
finally decided to let medicine alone, and
for twelve or thirteen years did nothing
towards curing the Eczema, except bath
ing. This seemed to do about as much
good as anything I had tried.

Baltimore.-Charles Joseph Bonaparte,
who has been selected by President
Roosevelt to succeed Paul Morton as
Secretary of the Navy on July l, is re-
garded by his neighbors in Baltimore as
one of the most remarkable men of the
time.
Above all things, Mr. Bonaparte seeks
to be practical in every undertaking. He
manifested this characteristic when a
young man by pushing aside all dreams
of French throne. Instead of putting
Napoleon, Emperor and King" on his
front door, he hung out the simpler and
more practical sign, Charles j. Bona
parte. Attorney and Counselor at Law"
After all, practicing law in the United
States is much more lucrative profess
sion just now than that of pretender to
a European throne.
Other striking characteristics are his
firmness of purpose and the courage of
his convictions. Mr.. Bonaparte believes
in the axiom: BE sure you are right
and then go ahead"
His practice of doing what he believed
was right, regardless of consequences,
was illustrated on the occasion when
the overseers of Harvard university were
considering the ACCESSIBILITY of comforting
the degree of Ii. d. on President Nc
Ainley. Mr. Bonaparte is one of the
overseers of Harvard university. He had
given the question at issue deliberate
consideration. and in a most frank man.
ner he informed his colleagues that In
his opinion Mr.. Mckinley was not worthy
of the honor.
Mr.. Bonaparte admired LIr. Mckinley
as statesman and as President of the
United States, but he believed that states
manship and political eminence alone
were not the qualifications for the de-
gree of LII. d. from Harvard, and he
backed his convictions with a negative
vote.
Mr. Bonaparte is called a shrewd and
brilliant lawyer but he is best known
as a civic, social and political reformer
Among Baltimoreans his name and that
of the Reform league are Synonymous
for 1t was through this organization that
the Monumental city was purged of cor
rupt political practices and obtained an
