A Ringing
Letter To
CON lander EVA NGELINE
BOOTH AND THE SALIVA
TON ARMY.

Commander Evangeline Booth,
Headquarters, The American Saliva
tion Army, New York City.
The daily papers of Washington
d g., Of February 2lst stated thai
"The Salvation Amy may yield to
the demand Of its members from the
South and draw the color line and
separate the races in the meetings."
Tens Of thousands OF. your fellow
Christisns in this city aud in other
parts Of this country regret exceed
inRly to learn that there seems to be
disposition on the part OF the Sal
walton Army to yield to the de-
mands ct race prejudice a. mani
tested by certain Of it's members
TO our minds the separation between
the followers OF the Lord Jesus
Christ on the ground of race. color
or material possessions is born Of The
devil and is simply the old Judaizing
spirit, so vigorously condemned by
Christ and the Apostles, Paul, John
and James, reasser,ing itself under
another euise. And to yield TO any
sucb demand would be disloyalty to
our Lord and Savior and would place
. stumbling block In the path OF
progress of Christie nifty among the
darker races OF the earth. The spirit
of the Bible Is opposed to race pref
udice and rsce hatred, and condemns
in DO uncertain terms those who
would discriminate 81 ainst the chill
dren Of God on any such grounds.
We are taught in the Word Of God
that Zone is your Master, even
Christ; and all ye are brethren. -
(Matt 1883 and "That God is DO
respec'er Of Persons" Acts 1O;34)
snd finally, There is neither Jew
nor Greek there is neither bond nor
free, there is neither male Dor female;
for ye are all one in Christ Jesus
(GaI 3:2s).
II the Salvation Army proposes Q
to be loyal 10 Jesus Christ and His
teaching, it is impossi bic to s.e how
it can refuse TO receive into it's ranks
on terms Of equality men and women
who have accepted Jesus Christ
simply because they are of a darker
hue thsn their white brethren. We
are Informed op good authority that
even the Moha 10 medans make DO
distinction 10 matters Of Religion
between the followers Of the "Propb
ct Of ALA" because Of race, color,
nationality, wealth or poverty. If q

Editor of the Independent


Editor of the Independent
rea with some interest the article in
the independent OF Dec Of one j. n,
Peterson of Silverton Oregon but for
merly of N. Oak Now would lik to
see friend Peterson and have friendly
cha with him about good old N. Oak.
for Just believe he has got bad spell
of home SICK ness. II we didn't raise any
more products than what he states in
his letter l would certainly agree with
him that Oregon would certainly be a
sorry old place to come to. According to
his letter wheat and oats is all that we
grow out hero noval would like to ask
our friend Peterson why he didn't men
ton the tons and tons OF clover, v,tch
ana alfalfa hay that is grown here and
fed to dairy aud bsef cattle and TO rs
fine a lot Of good horses as is found any
where in the United States. Oregon is
becoming famous as great dairy state
and for live stock Of all Kinds, she has
learned the lesson that N. Oak has got
to learn yet aud that. is quit tying to
raise grain year after ye but turn to
diversifie d farming. milking few COWS,
growing hogs, sheep and horses, some
thing that will bring pay day once or
twice q month instead Of once year.
Our friend didn't monitor the luscious
fruits of nearly all kinds that are grown
almost to a perfection here in Oregon,
1t has only been three years the first of
this month since loft N. Oak ana am
not writing this to condemn N. Oak. and
boost Oregon for 1 like N. Oak. in fact I
still have hold on q good piece Of land
there. N. Oak. has some just as good
land as there is anywhere, for which
she can we be proud but if her people
keep IN granting it year after year they
will wake up one of these days to find
themselves bankrupt and they will be
only too glad to get piece of Oregon
soil where pay day comes twice month.
4 don't believe our friend Peterson is
treating the people in this western
country just right when he advises
people to stay east Of the rocky noun
they are doing wellin storing this worlds
with it, but on the other hand if a fellow
wants to come to Oregon and has a
little energy aud backbone TO push
it he can make good money here in fact
that will hold good any where you go.
When We advise people to do so and so
through the columns of as important
paper as the Ward County Independent
that goes to nearly every state in the
Union and read by thousands of people
think we should be very careful what
we advise people to DO. We hope our
good friend Peterson will not take any Of
tense at what we have written. " here
ever be goes We wish him happiness and
prosperity. Ifyou think this is worth the
space We would like to see it in print
