Distinguished church men Of the
Methodist denomination are flocking

vention to be held in Convention hall
during the next three days, under the
auspices OF the Methodist Episcopal
church and the Methodist Episcopal
church, south. This is the first joint
meeting of its kind ever held in Am
erica and 1t is likely to become his
torical as marking a great step to-
ward the reconciliation OF the two
great divisions of the denomination,
separated since the civil war. Okla
homa Methodists have been the lead
ers in this movement for the wiping
out of sectional lines, Methodists Of
both the north and south joining in
the establishment here Of Epworth
university The two churches have
in the new state a joint membership
Of $4,000.
The convention will hold a jubilee
celebration over the founding OF the
church Of Japan. For years and years
the several branches OF the Methodist
church has been sending missionaries
to this foreign field to advance the
cause of Christianity, but recently the
people of Japan announced their in
tention of establishing their own
church.
A church OF Japan was formed and
the doctrines and teachings of the
Methodist church became a part Of
the new church. The Japanese have
their own bishop and presiding elder
as well as other church officials. The
establishment Of this church is re-
garded as one of the greatest events
in modern church history.

FIRST BROOM CORN TEST.
Gardena District Produces Excellent
Grade OF Broom Material.

What is thought to be the first at
tempt to raismproom corn in the in
land empire has been a success this
season. and the product will be

which was opened up nearly two
years ago.
The product is Of an exceptionally
good quality and makes the best COM

west. Early last spring a Portland
firm experimental with the article.
After a sufficient growth part of the
product was taken to Portland and
made into brooms. with the result
the company has purchased small
manufacturing plant and installed II
at Gardena and will turn out several
hundred brooms this year. Several
hundred acres will be planted by the
company and land owners next year
and a larger factory will be installed.

"Tonight's the night" for company
LIS spectacular show and the PEN
dleton guardsmen and their generous
friends will DO all they can to please
the large audience that will be as
sembled. That the attendance will
be a record breaker is assured by the
fact that at noon today only a score
OF untaken seats remain on the lower
floor. With a gallery that is now safe
and clean no one need stay away be-
cause he has not a reserved seat.
Last night the final dress rehearsal
was held in the theater and under the
direction OF Dan P. Smythe, stage
manager the troupe was brought in
10 shape for the final performance.
AS previously announced the pro-
gram will be in two parts. The first
part will consist of bunch of
pleasing specialties all of which have
been previously mentioned. OF these
but one will now be named and that
is the number by the 20 high school
girls. In their costumes last night
the girls made a most strenuous hit
with those gathered in the theater,
and IL the roof does not come off to-
night when they appear it will be
because applause cannot raise it.
The second part of the entertain
ment will be taken up with the orig
inal and only extravaganza, The
Subdual of Hermiston." II any one
thinks this high class play is a mel
odrama he wrongs it sadly. 1t is an
extravaganza and while there will be
some meritorious stunts and some
good singing the basis of the thing is
burlesque and local hits will abound.

Gods Love illustrated.
BY the Rev. Adam Reoch.

by aJ1S IlSV. Audul INCoCH.
1t is astonishing how long it takes
us to grasp and believe in some OF the
oft-repeated statements in Gods
word. We may pride ourselves on
the power of our intellect and the
thoroughness of our training, and
with it all we may, for a score OF
years, blunder past the most comforts
ing truth. +,
Take, for example, the text, IF We,
then being evil, know how to give
good gifts unto your children, how
much more shall your heavenly Faith
err give the Holy Spirit to them that
ask Him." The truth and blessed
ness of that text came home to me In
a most forcible way quite lately. Dur
ing weeks of trouble and darkness
faith had stumbled along, seeing not
a ray of light. The awful words OF
Christ, my God, My God, why hast
Thou forsaken Me?" seemed the only
words in Scripture that suited my
case. It was not the experience Of a
moment, but Of weeks, and long con-
tinued, growing out of the severest
loss one can be called upon to I'M
dergo.
The light came in this way: My
little boy had become much inter
ested in the prevailing fad, the use
of roller skates. He had come to me
repeatedly, just for money for new
pair, and then for more to repair and
improve, until it seemed that I could
give him no more. One afternoon he
showed me the skates and pointed
out that the rear wheels were well
worn down. He did not ask me for
any money; perhaps he did not ex-
pect any, but he said in a soliloquiz-
ing way, II can get a new pair OF
wheels for fifteen cents" I saw the
heart laid bare, the longing, the tim
idity-my heart said, GO ahead and
get them" I could not possibly keep
from finishing out his happiness, and
it seemed a privilege to do it. Then
it seemed as il voice Of reproof
came through my heart, as il the
very words Of the text were uttered
IF We then bring evil, know how
to give good gifts unto your chill
dren," etc.
Oh, how it humbled me! had actu-
ally thought God to be less concerned
for me and my happiness than / was
for that of my own boy. In the light
of the warmth in my own heart for
my own boy, saw the faint refec.
ton of that mighty love of God for
me, His child, and realized as never
before that He will not withhold any
gift that is good, that He will not dc
aught save what Is for our very best
But how long it takes us to see it!
May He forgive US for our conceit
our distrusts and our repining.-
From Sabbath Reading.

DIR. Frank Cranes Epigrams.

The end Of true culture is peace
with ones self; to have established
a modus vivendi; not to be blown
about between good and bad, but to
have a practicable path through the
mystery Of things.
We begin life as little animals;
we should end as great souls.
All inward unhappiness can be
definitely traced to selfishness; no
unselfish person can be thoroughly
unhappy.
The selfish man is pitted against
a selfish world, infinitely stronger
than he, and against which he has
no hope of success.
When a selfish man succeeds in
becoming happy, it is only at the
price of the unhappiness Of others.
Life is too short and the prizes of
selfishness too close and too alluring /;
you cannot hope to attain nobility
without belief in heaven and God.
There is no happiness SO long as
We are impatient.
There is an element of vulgarity
in any jewelry.
The savage Indian in his tent of
skins, and the multi-millionaire in
his mess of bric-a-brac, are equally
removed from true culture. Nobility
lies liz the difficult middle way.
To read books that require no
mental effort is time lost.
The careful and thorough reading
of newspapers is the surest way to
vulgarize the mind.
Any sort of self-assertion by voice,
dress, manner or any other way, is
vulgar.
Nothing is so vulgar as idleness.
The idle rich In every age Of the
world have become cold-hearted aud
cruel And to envy or to rail at the
idle rich shows vulgar mind.
The man who works Sundays does
nothing of any consequence Other
DAYS.
Our attitude to money is a sure
test of culture; we should neither
love it nor hate It, horde it nor
waste it, worship it nor despise it;
we should appreciate it for what it
can do and realize what it cannot do.
We speak of elevating the lower
classes; my experience is that it is
the upper classes that need elevating.
There is no culture possible with
out conversion, because culture is es-
sentially unselfishness, and that Is
born in none, or few.-From sermon
preached by DR.. Frank Crane, Union
Church, Worcester, Mass.

General Demand

of the Well-Informed Of the World has
always been for simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with it's ex-
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA is given
the preference by the Well Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine manufactured by the Cali
