Letter From Missionary Ross.
Mexico, Jan. Is, 1908

L~inares, Mexico, Jan. 15, 1908.
To the Pastor and Members Of the Pres
byterian Church, Greenwood, Miss:
My Dear Friends:-New Years Day
is n Of the great days Of the year in
Mexico, not so much for the making Of
new resolutions, as for expressions of
good will. All who pretend at all to
observe the customs Of society and
friendship send to all their friends New
Years cards OF various colors and sizes.
1t seems to hold much the same place
among the Mexicans that Christmas
does among English speaking people.
Protestant Christians are Selling upon
this and are establishing a beautiful
way of celebrating the New Year. The
custom is growing more general each
year. The service is called, Gel quito
del ano nuevo."
All are more or less similar to the one
that we attended in the Presbyterian
church in Linares, December 81, 1907.
At 10:30 the hour announced for the SER
vice to begin, at 1880 p. m. mind you,
the church was filed with wide awake,
~expectant worshipers; and for two hours
they entered most heartily into the
service Of praise and thanksgiving.
The service itself was peculiar only in
the sense, that all worship to God is a
peculiar privilege. The sermon preach
ed by the pastor, Rev. Leandro Cara
Mora, one Of the veteran ministers Of
Professionalism in Mexico, was a noble
unfolding Of the greatness and goodness
Of God as revealed in Creation, Provi-
dence and Redemption.
Just as We were passing out from the
old year to the New we we're in the at
titude of prayer before our Father ex-
pressing thanksgiving to Him for the
countless blessings received from His
loving Hand during the year just clos
ing, aid claiming His Presence with us
during the New Year into which we
were entering. They were moments OF
special privilege. Christians. ,feve-to
give the earliest moments Of the day to
God, and we we're allowed to spend the
first moments Of the New Year in sweet
communion with God. And we could
not but pray that the year should be
oae in which the prayer life Of all would
he exalted.
We might say that service wal con-
tinued New Years morning when we
were called together at the church at
800 a. m. to witness the baptism and
reception into the church Of two young
men. One Of these coming from a most
ardent Catholic family, was the first of
his family to profess his faith in Christ.
His examination was most satisfactory.
The other was one OF our w boys,
having been In his childhood a member
Of our Sunday school.
The slight glimpses into our church
life will animate you, as it does us, and
bind you still closer to our common
work.
Both OF these services received an
added inspiration and interest from the
presence OF two Of our ministerial stu
dents, who are preaching in our Pres
bytery during their vacation.
With expressions Of good wishes to
all for a most happy New Year. | am,
Yours, In His Service.
W. A. ROSS.

withdraw the name Of the superin-
tendent, then illegally pending be-
fore the senate for confirmation.
He desired that the superintendent
should have a fair hearing, and all
consideration that was justly due
him, although the superintendent
would not have been appointed by
Gov. Noel if he had exercised his
appointive right. The letter adj
dressed by Gov. Noel to the senate
became necessary because the friends
of the superintendent were taking
advantage of Gov. Noel's considera-
ton, by stating 10 the senate CON-
mittee, and members Of the senate,
that the governor desired the super
intendent confirmed, when in fact
the position of the governor was
one Of absolute neutrality.
at had not been my intention to
notice ex-Gov. Vardaman's wall of
disappointment at the rebuke ad-
by the people to his PEN
itentiary policy of government, but
! have decided that it is well enough
to let the ex-governor know that, if
he insists on it, | can give "a reason.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT
Boy Breaks Leg While Play.
ing With Dummy.

A boy about 10 years old me,
with quite a serious accident on
Tuesday evening at the OAC
football grounds in a very. pecu-
liar manner. It seems that he
tackled one Of the dummies used
by the big hurley fellows in the
football practice, pulling it over,
and in falling it broke the bone
OF the left leg above the knee.
. He was brought to town by
Messrs. Angel and Wolf and the
fracture reduced. Although it
is quite painful for the Young
man no serious consequences are
anticipated. 1t will work quite
hardship on the widowed moth
er and we feel safe in saying our
good people will not permit any
one to suffer in this land of
plenty
While the management of the
athletic field are in no manner to
blame for the unfortunate acci-
dent they will render the family
all possible assistance.

Fight in Court to Re-
cover Title.
HUNDRED QUARTER SECTIONS
Timber Land Worth 81. 500
600 is Involved .-- Govern.
meet Could Recover Title.

S. A. D. Puter had long con
ference today with Assistant At
torney-General Woodruff, of th,
Interior Department, with refer
ence to the G. A. Smith -Krib.
land deal in Linn and Ian,
counties, Oregon, and succeeded
IN impressing upon him the i'm,
portance of making determined
fight in court to recover title te
81, 500, 900 worth of timber land
. which is involved.
Puter went into great detail
explaining how Smith acquired
title to upwards of 100 quarter
sections and informed Woodruff
that if proper attention were Civ
en- to the case the Government
could upset Smiths title and re-
cover this land. The value of
this land alone, said Puter, would
more than compensate the gov
ernment for the money it has
already expended in prosecution
OF land-fraud cases in Oregon.
When Secretary Garfield re-
turns next Friday, Mr.. Woodruff
will lay the matter before him
and before Acknowledgement
Bonaparte. He told Puter that
he could send Assistant Attorney
A. B. Pugh, specialist on land
cases, to assist District ATTORNEY
McCourt in collecting and pre-
pairing evidence in this case,
and if Garfield and Bonaparte
approved, would endeavor to in
duce Heney to handle the case
In court. If Heney's services
cannot be secured, Woodruff said
that some other competent coun-
sci would probably be employed
and that the case would not be
allowed to go by default.

DARWIN &. THAYER
New 7. N. G. A. Secretary at
OAC...-Splendid Selection.

A new Y. M. C. A. secretary
has finally been selected to fiji
the position at OAC, made va
cant by the resignation of Rev.
c. I. Hurd, and the choice has
met with general approval. He
Is Darwin G. Thayer, a graduate
and valedictorian in the class of
'O7, and president of the YM
=. A. during his senior year. He
was also captain of Company G.
while a senior, ranked high as a
student and debater and is in
every way well qualified to fill
the important position to which
he has beer chosen.
Having acted as president Mr..
Thayer is thoroughly familiar
with the Y. M. C. A. work and
its great problems at OAC and
no doubt feels deeper respon-
sibility than would many others
IN his place. He was also-a per-
sonal friend of the late Clayborn
Shepard, who planned the con-
structlon of the new Y. M. C. A.
building, and whose chief desire
was to see it completed, giving
his life in his untiring efforts for
that cause. Shepard Hall, the
new Y. M. c. A. building, is |
a hitting memorial to the young
life spent in service for his fei- |
lowstudents at oAC. Mr.. Thayer
Corvallis gazette. [volume] (Corvallis, Benton County, Or.) 1900-1909, 1908-10-09

is acquainted with his desires
and those of numerous other
workers and will no doubt carry
them out. He has the earnest
good wishes of everyone in his
chosen field, and it is to be hoped
that the vast majority of the 700
young men at OAC will join the
organization this coming year
and live just such a life as does
the new secretary, Darwin G.
Thayer.

There are SO in the high school
and 80 in the Sth grade, all of
whom should graduate this wear.
AT the present rate of increase
there will be from $50 to 200
high school students to be taken

might as well commence think
ing about it right now as to
what they are going to do about
1t. Every room will be crowded

another school room is an abso-
