You still live when so many predicted
bankruptcy But there is another
evil of just as much evil we all have
lost sight Of and it is as disastrous TO
the generation as alcohol II Is to-
bacco. The law does not protect Our
children from its use as with alcohol
$4,000,000 yearly is spent for to-
bacco, more than enough TO feed
and clothe comfortably every person
in the United States. And you never
hear Of a doctor prescribing the use
of tobacco for any disease the human
family is afflicted with, while on t.
other side how many die by the use
of tobacco, especially our boys when
they smoke cigarettes. ! know a
doctor who held post mOrtem eN-
animation on a youth who died In
Grants Pass. His lungs were black
as tar. The doctors verdict was too
many cigarettes. Is It not true that
every drinking man, or ! will say,
that every habitual drinker OF liquor
s out OF 10 use tobacco, 90 out OF
each 100 tramps use tobacco IN some
form. not one hoy I'm five who COM
mences in boyhood the use OF to-
bacco can get life insurance after he
Is q years old because OF heart
trouble in some form or other. Near
. ly every paper published In the cities
tells OF men who have died through
excessive use Of tobacco. Specialists
say there Is enough poison In every
cigar. II Il Is all tobacco 10 KIN 9

Apples.

Occasionally It is limited that the

The population Of the world is con-

tion Of good fruit Is increasing more
rapidly than population. Few places
comparatively, can be depended up
on for perfect fruit Several states
produce fine apples, but none, the

good and perfect as Oregon. The
production In Oregon could be In

thousandfold, without affecting

Prisoner May Resent Whipping.

Atlanta, Ca, Dec. 22.-The old
slave" law which prohibited slave
from striking or attacking his master
or the>latter's foreman to defend him
self from whipping, is of no effect
in Georgia to-day according to a de-
cision handed down here to-day by
the State supreme court in the case
OF convict who killed fellow pris-
oner. Cleveland Westbrook, colored,
under sentence CT death for Killing
another negro, who was assisting the
warden of a convict camp, of which
bo,h negroes were inmates, in ad-
ministering a whipping to West
brook, is granted a new trial.
The supreme court holds that cor
poral punishment Of convict un-
der circumstances not of a character
to authorize it, is an as
sault which implies the right of de-
tense. If the jury decides that the
whipping of Westbrook in the in
stance was unlawful, the negro can
not be convicted of greater crime
than voluntary manslaghter.

NEWS AND NOTICES.
Christmas tide has come and gone
What recollections of it are left with
US? Is there a wounded conscience
because we have dishonored the
sacred name connected with the day
in the far too common revelries and
indulgencies of these occasions? ?
Have our hearts been stirred with
renewed gratitude to God for his
unspeakable gift that gave new
relish for worship on last Sunday?
Or have our thoughts been more Of
ourselves, relations and friends? I?
The congregations last Sunday would
indicate a large percentage of the
latter.
The pastors subject Sunday morn
ing was: ''The Sunset of a Great
Christian Life and Career" 1t was
a fitting close of our studies in the
life and Epistles of the Apostle Paul.
At night his theme was, "The Sun
rise of the Greatest Life that has
ever dawned on the world" This
was looking forward toward the
Sunday-school studies for next year.
On account of the smallness of the
congregations last Sunday, the
Christmas offering for the old
preachers was deferred until next
Sunday. Hope all will bear in mind
and govern themselves accordingly.

The Seasons Lesson.

2. The sun does not shine for few
trees and flowers, but for the wide
worlds JOY. The lonely pine Of the
mountain top waves it's somber
boughs. and cries, Thou art my
sum- And the little meadow violet
lifts it's cup of blue, and whispers
with it's perfumed breath, Thou art
my SUM-" And the grain in thous-
and fields rustles in the wind and
makes answer, Thou art my sum-
So God sits, effulgent, in heaven, not
for a favored few, but for the uni
verse of life; and there is no creature
so poor or so low that he may not
look up with childlike confidence and
say, "My Father, Thou art mine! -
