TELLS OF PARTING OF WAYS.
Bv Rev. John Risk

To-day we have a situation where a
great many people leave Jesus forever
and they walk no more with him. They
part on what we may term the phe-
nomenal element in religion. They de-
sired and rested in that element, but
Jesus desired to call them to a higher
life. l do not near to say that Jesus
denied the value Of what is phenomen-
al. He valued it, but only in proper
proportion. He himself appeals to his
work as evidence and the Bible at
tests the value Of phenomena. But it
may arrest spiritual development and
does IL it becomes the ground of hope,
trust and life. Then it becomes a Sc
dative, a panacea rather than a life
force.
The life of man is not always told
In the histories of the race or nations.
It Is a question whether the history of
a people is portrayed by the historian.
The fiction of literature is often nor
ample, more complete history than the
work Of the historian. Because of this
phenomenal character of history 1t is
fiction, while fiction. which is the spirit
OF things, is history. The parable Of
Jesus entitled 1.-THE Prodigal Son" is
the history of no life that ever lived,
yet it Is the real history of every soul.
1t is appropriated by each one Of us
as our biography.
: We obtain the history of life from
Balzac, Wagner, Shakespeare and Walt
Whitman that VIZ obtain from
sc-callcd world histories, and Bunyan
perhaps SURPRISES them all in the Sig
Mificance OF human life. Since no gov
ernment has taken up men as related
to each other rs ncighbors and less

ENTERTAINMENT A FAD.
By Rev. Frank @. Brun


Religious entertainment is the fad OF
our times, he said. 1t is necessary
that diversion be had. It would be
better for the souls Of men IL it were
purely irreligious. The extreme ten
dency to-day is to make entertainment
a religion. The church frequently gives
all it's energies to satisfy the amuse-
ment element, which will never crafty
the need Of the human SOUL.
Only a short time ago a minister in
Kansas City conceived the idea OF or
canizing a children's church. 1t was
a novel contrivance. 1t was to have.
childhood government. It was merely
a play religion, largely entertaining.
Not but what it has good III it fer the
childhood world, but the novelty has a
tendency to mitigate the spiritual up
lift of the child and feed 1t too much
on the bread of entertainment.
The boy and cir! need such enter
tainment, but not as religion. Men
and women are merely children OF a
larger growth. They are inclined to
drift into a kind Of a play religion as
of old. when Gods ancient people sat
down to eat and rose up to play" The
tendency Of the twentieth century is to
want entertaining religion. Such a
| condition is seen in b drift Of the
stage to religious drama.

SO as we read our life, the life OF
the race, we look into an old ana
wrinkled face, but there comes up
through that face only the wisdom OF
a child. We have grown old in body
through these thousands of years, but
the spirit has not expanded with u
years. The world goes by slow step
to some progress and hen the masters
would have us break out into new con-
ditions we follow them no farther. so
the generations must go the way or
death till Il new generation is born and
we carry the scars of limited growth.
PRAYERS A HELP AND SOLACE.
BY Rev. Dr. Falk Vidaver.
And Hannah prayed, and said, etc
1. Samuel Ill.
The chapter from which the above
text is taken shows clearly that Han
nah's prayer was nothing but a hymn
of praise. 1t follows, therefore. that J n
a Biblical sense prayer and praise are
synonymous terms. Hence the writer
of the Psalms finishes the second book
with the words, Here are ended the
prayers of David, the son Of Jesse"
Although most, If not all, OF these
prayers express only gratitude and
thanksgiving, praise Is interviewer with
and implied in prayer, for both prayer
and praise emanate from one source
divine, namely, perfect faith and be-
lief in God. The true believer In
disclosing his heart in su%ppiication be-
fore the Almighty proves hfs hope and
confidence in and dependence upon Him,
and thus he tacitly adores and glori-
ies His holy name.
The unbeliever, however, never feels
the necessity Of uttering words OF
PRAYER or praise. The people Of Israel
Joined their leader, Moses, in chant
ing a song of praise unto God only.
They firmly believed in Him, as 1t Is
said, "and they believed in the Lord
etc, '.then sang Moses and the chill
dren of Israel" etc.
The only reason why so many In our
present day have become callous and
~insensible to prayer and praise is SIM
ply because their religion Is shallow
and their belief superficial. God dwells
not in their hearts, hence prayer never
passes their lips. 1t is true that such
people. too. sometimes resort to prayer I;
for instance, when they are plunged In
to distress /; when any signal misfortune
befalls them they cry out in terror and
despair for help.
But what a prayer! There is nc
hope, no faith, no humility and no res,
ignation in such d prayer. Its fruit
less result deteriorates and degenerates
them more than ever. The prayer OF
the believer, however, is always sooth
ing, solacing, encouraging and eleyat
, ing, even though unanswered. For thu
supplicator will attribute its ineffect
. -iyeness to his own unworthiness, an,
thus he will henceforth make effort
to Improve his demeanor and sanctif,
t his life.
We should, therefore, ever strive t
foster in our hearts and in the heart
of u children true belief and the prin
J. ~ciples of true religion. Then the swee
! voice of genuine prayer and praise vii
frequently be raised in our dwellings
as we'll as In our houses OF worship.

WILL WORK THE HOBOES.
WalIa Walla VIII Put Chain Gang on
Streets.

If the plans of the police are car

letin. An effort is being made by the
officers to carry this plan into oper-
alton and rid the city of the undesir-
able characters. At the same time
it is desired to clean the city's streets
and dispose of tho dry grass and trash
along the various walks of the city.
The hoboes are a necessary part of
this scheme and they will be utilized,
For some time past the police have
had much trouble from the men who
never work hut lay around the streets
begging and looking for nights lodg-
ing in the city Jail. When these char
acters are run in they invariably ex-
! pect to be turned loose the next morn
ing only to ply their trade again.
Spokane is not bothered to any ex'
tent by these characters. and for the
| simple reason that there is chair
gang in working order and to which
the vags are sentenced. There seems
no excuse for a man not obtaining
work during the present season, ant

w. D. Lyman, of Whitman college,
writes of the question of river traffic
and railroads for the Walla walla
statesman. as follows: .....
1t is a narrow idea held by some
railway officials that the open river
will diminish railway profit. 1t will
indeed loosen railway monopoly
and that is why we want It, But 1t
will create more business for them in
the end than it will destroy. The
multiplied activities of this rich re-
gicn will seek outlets by both rail and
river, and in the exercise OF mer.
just and normal methods than the
paralvZing grip of a monopoly the
railways will find wholesomer and
more legitimate profits.
The example of the Ohio and Mis-
sissippi rivers proves this. Fifty and
75 years ago it was all steamboating.
Then came the great railroad age.
Steamboats, were drawn off. and many
said they would abandon the field.
But there has come another change.
Steamboat traffic in the last decade
roads on the banks, the steamboats,
have begun to pick up business to a
vast degree, and a new era dawns on
the transportation world. Now are
the highways losing thereby? Rather
the great increase in business has in,
ured TO the benefit of both water ana
rail traffic.

Everybody is afraid of the dreaded
disease and when ever possible they
skirt the sagebrush plains and stick

1t is commonly believed that spotted
