Chain Letters.

For some time Doth temperance and
religions papers have printed warn.
ings against chain letters but still
many people do not seem to under.
stand them. The Epworth Herald of
November "a. says in Note and Com.
mept: Several correspondents have
asked us within few days to advise
them. They want to know what to
do with chain letters that have been
sent to them. What to do-why only
one thing Destroy them. One cor.
respondent sends us copy of the
chain letter he had received The
prayer il contains was sent out by an
Eastern bishop, it is stated. The
person who receives it and will not
write and send out nine copies of
it, will be affected by some misfor-
tune. A person who ignored the
request met with terrible acoi-
dent. The one who sends out nine
copies, sending only one each day.

that he who rewrites this prayer

tion we say that the best place for
these endless chain affairs is the
waste basket. "
In long years past and gone one day,
A letter came along my way.

ASHLAND AND A. A. c.
PLAY NO SCORE GAME
Ground q SEQ of Mud and Water
Makes Football Game q
Puntins One.

A very interesting game of football
was played between the A. A. q.
and Ashland teams at Ashland on
Christmas day, in which neither side
made score. The day was unusually
wet and disagreeable and the ground
covered with water, but the rain could
not dampen the ardor Of the boys for
they went into the game with q dash
and spirit characteristic of the true
Oregonisn.
In the beginning Hopkins of Grants
Pass kicked of to Larson on the 10
yard line, and he carried the ball for.
ward five yards when he was downed.
Ashland tried twice to advance the
ball and then punted out of danger.
Grants Pass advanced by steady
crossbucks and end runs to the 10
yard line where they we're held for
downs. Owing to the fact that the
field had no goal posts on the south
end Of the field the boys were pre-.
vented from trying for field goal.
All during the first half the game was
played in Ashland's territory, but
Grants Pass was unable to score a
touchdown.
In the second half Sayles kicked to
Schmidt. In this half the rain fell SO
fast and the field became so sticky
that it was impossible to use any fake
plays or passes and both sides de-
pended on punting. The second half
was played mostly in Grants Pass
territory, but their goal was in dan.
ger only once, when Sayles circled
the end to the 10 yard line where he
was downed by Schmidt. Grants
Pass held Ashland for downs and
then punted out Of danger. The last
Of the game was hotly contested but
neither side was able to score.
Hopkins WAS disabled 10 the last
sorimmage in the last half nd Dean
was placed in full and Shade took left
half.
Ashland will play q return game
with Grants Pass, New Years Day at
the A. A. O. grounds 10 this city.

Christmas Reflections.

Glory to God in the highest, and on
earth peace. good WILL toward men,
Luke 2:14.
It matters but little whether Jesus
was born on the 25th day Of December
or on some other day. II is enough
to know that his life work stands out
before the world az . model Of wis.
dom and purity. The purpose Of bis
advent into the world Is Of far more
Importance than the exact time of bis
birth Neither does the manner Of bis
birth add to or take from his great.
ness. He was great because he did
great things for humanity.
That the mission Of Jesus is still
misunderstood BY many Of his professed
followers is evidenced by the lack
Of unity that is seen all about us.
Peace and good will are essential to
happiness, aud necessarily involve
unity Of purpose. We may differ in
opinion as to abstract propositions,
but in dealing with things tangible
there must be harmony in order to
enjoy that degree of satisfaction
which is certainly the common heri-
tage Of all. To be happy is the nor.
NAL condition of our race, and to be
unhappy is the abnormal conditi on.
Our lack of peace and good. will
throughout the world today is largely
due to our lack of knowledge and
our lack Of knowledge is largely due
to our unwillingness to cut loose
from the traditions of an ignorant
and superstitious priesthood. We are
slow to learn that the laws uf nature
are the same in all ages aud among
all people, and that to work in har.
mony with these laws is the highest
duty of man. Anything that man has
done in the past can be done by mau
in the future. Whltever was posslb'e e
1000 years ago is possible now; and
whatever is possible now was possible
at any time in the past.
Jesus made no effort to set aside
the established order of the universe.
His sole aim was to persuade m,n TO
recognize their obligations to obst rye
and respect this order His uuwaver.
ing confidence in the ultimate triumph
of divine humanity was NANTES st
in all of his teaching, ond his con.
slant claim TO sonship was in keeping
with this idea that all mon were the
sons of God-that there was one com.
mon father and one common brother.

The property at Thirteenth and To-
