ELoQuENT YOUNG PREAcHER.
o. b. Crockett breaches Nightly at
NJ. E. Church, South.

Far more than usual interest at
tends upon the meetings at the West
Webb Methodist church, where the
pastor, Rev. Howard, is assisted by
Reys. Thoroughman and Crockett.
The former, once pastor here, needs
no introduction. Mr.. Crockett is
known only to the highly pleased
people who have listened to him at
THAT church since Sunday morning
last.
Mr.. Crockett has as auditors each
night the people, Gall of them who
can Gomez who listened to him pre-
viously, and the result is that the
meetings are growing rapidly in in
terest and effectiveness.
Mr.. Crockett, who is a graduate of
the Kentucky Wesleyan University,
came West last spring and was for a
time supply at Arlington. Later he
was sent to La Grande, where he is
now pastor. He is here now to help
Mr.. Howard in the present series OF
meetings. He is scholarly, earnest
and consecrated, and one of the best
of the younger class of evangelists, as
speaker and reasoner. His address
and delivery are splendid and dictior
faultless. He is adjudged to have
an enviable future in the history OF
the Nj. E. Church, South, and OF
evangelism in the United States.

WRITE ONE THOUSAND LETTERS
Children Conduct an Immigration
Campaign.

One thousand letters from Pendle-
ton public school pupils to friends in
the East, will probably be the result
of the letter writing campaign recent
ly Instituted in the public schools by
County superintendent Frank X.
Welles
This morning a large supply of
envelopes were received at the high
school, and the campaign will be con-
Quoted briskly from this time on.
Many of the students will write .noye
than one letter, and all the high
grades will take part in the cam
paign.
Prof. E. B. Conklin is enthusiastic
over the interest taken in the subject
by the students, and feels that great
good, both to the country at large
and to the pupils themselves, will re-
suit from the campaign.
Already a great many letters have
been written and the students have
entered the work with a zest.

flour she will carry lumber valued at
$50 900, and a big assortment of sew

them all in the last eight months, but

SUNDAY SCHOOL WORK.

There never was so aggressive a cam
paign in Sunday school work as now.
All the churches are taking part in it
and are seeking to reap the benefits. In
the forefront of this great movement
side by side with the other churches, is
the Sunday School Department of the
Methodist Episcopal Church. 1t is
called the Sunday School Union, having
been SO christened as long ago as 1927.
Strong men have been at its head since
| its reorganization in 1910. Prominent
among these was that matchless worker
for young people, Bishop John H. Vim
cent. 1t was during his time that he
instituted the Berean System of lessons,
which later developed into the Inter
national System, that is now used every
Sunday by more than $4,000, 900 of Sun
day school people.
The head of the Sunday School
Union today is Rev. John T. McFar-
land, d. d., who came to his present
office from Topeka. Kansas-a man
well lifted by scholarship and expert
ence for his position. While having
been in office scarcely six months, his
work is being felt, and it is Scripture
that that says, by their works works ye s shall
journal, edited by him, is a magazine
well suited for the family as we'll as the
Bible student. 1t has circulation of
225, 900 and ought to double it at once.
All modern methods of teaching and
work are being considered to-day by
meet the needs of its constituency. 1t
organizes new Sunday schools and
helps the needy ones and this work it
does constantly. 1t is supported by
the contributions of the churches of
the denomination. 1t gave aid to
about fourteen hundred last year, aud
will probably do more in the year to
come.
When we consider that the Sunday
school is not only an educator in good
things, but is training the future citi-
zenship of our land in all things per-
tanning to morals and goodness, it
should have both the moral and fnan-
clal support of the church and all right
minded people.

NO MORE HEADACHE

General Weakness and Fever Disappear
Too. How Woman Was Freed From
Troubles That Had Made Life Wretched
for Many Years.
If headache should disappear from the
list of human diseases what burden of
suffering would he lifted from the shoulders
OF humanity. Few people are altogether
Tree from it, and it usually appears at the
most inOppOrtune times and seriously in
terteres with the duties and pleasures of
life. Some persons are 50 unfortunate as
never to be without it.
The immediate causes of headaches vary,
but most of them come from poor or poi
soned blood. In auamia the blood is scanty
or thin; the nerves are lmperfectly nour-
ished aud pain is the way in which they
express their weakness. In colds the blood
ab,orbs poison from the mucous surfaces,
and the poison lrritates the nerves and pro-
duceS pain IN rheumatism, malaria and
the grip, the poison in the blood produces
like discomfort In indigestion the gases
from the impure matter kept in the system
affect the blood in the same way.
The lesson of all this is, get rid of the
bad blood, and you get rid of the headache.
Relief lasts when the cause of the pain is
removed. The general health is improved
at the same time.
The ordinary headache-cures al best give
only temporary relief. They deaden the
pain but do not drive the poison out CT the
blood: The PAIN soon comes back again.
Dr. Williams Pink Pills on the contrary
thoroughly renew the blood and the pain
disappears permanently. Women in par
ticular have found these pills an unfailing
relief III headaches caused by ansemia.
Miss Stella Blocker recently said s.Dr.
