REV. HARRIS ON
CHURCH UNITY

Re. f. A. Harris gave the first Of his
series on Town topics last Sunday
evening at the Congregational Church,
speaking on Church Unity. He en-
dorsed the union movement worked out
by Rev. VanNuys at Parkdale, noted
the experiment in federation at Mosier
and the series of conferences to be
held by the heads OF twenty-five MISS
ionary boards of various denominations
in the Northwest in an effort to get
together. Speaking of union in Hood
River he said that the movement
would make little progress so long as
membership in our churhes meant the
submission TO some central authority
claiming the right 10 govern or
obedience to some mere ordinance. he
thought the influence Of traditionalism
one of the hardest things to overcome
and said.
"The churches will hesitate TO unite
until the people of the individual
churhces learn how to live together in
their own churh: until the various
churches stop calling each other names,
quarreling over nOn-essentials and
reading each other out of the church
because they do not all think and act
alike and until the churches seeking
union are as ready to give up and lose
themselves for larger movement as
they ask other churhes to be. Down
at the bottom. the truth is that the
churches, like men have not the grace
to get down on their knees and confess
their sins before the public.
mot so many years ago the people
of three other churches in Hood River
worshipped and worked in Riverside
Church. They were happy and united.
They were drawn away almost reluc-
tantly by the coming Nof outside
parties who insisted on denomination
al loyalty" Today these same de-
nominations are among the most in
sistant in church union. Let he.ideal
of Riverside Church ever be so TO
stand for the universal truth, so
guarantee individual liberty of
thought, so extent personal fellowship
and so work for the common good Of
all and by such methods, as 20 demon
strate her right to exist; and not only
i've for others but be ready to die if
need be for the coming of larger
good T"

PULLING THE COURTS LEG.
A Practice the English Judge Did His
Best to Discourage.

Practice the English Judge Did His
Best to Discourage.
The following remarkable judgment
was delivered some years ago by a
magistrate in one Of the English colo
nies:
"Pachua is hereby charged with hav-
ing on the 18th of January followed
the court on its rising and while said
court was in the act of mounting into
its buggy came from behind and. seiz-
ing the courts dangling leg. the other
foot being on the step. forcibly pulled
back the court, frightened the horse
and nearly caused an accident. The
reason alleged for this by accused Is
that he wanted to hear the result of an
application of his The practice by pc
titioners OF pulling the courts by the
legs is one that should be discouraged.
Accused only says he is poor man,
admitting the truth of the complaint.
He Is sentenced to one months rigor-
Gus imprisonment"
Strange to relate. the lieutenant gov
ernor of the province on reading this
sentence felt II necessary to intimate
TO the magistrate that neither the sen.
tence itself nor the peculiar phraseOlo.
gy in which 1t was couched was ealcu-
lated to meet with approval from minds
running IN Legal grooves.

HOOD RIVER BOOSTER

Hood River, Ore,
Gentlemen:;- Il have been in Buenos
Aires for two months in the capacity
Of telephone engineer and during this
time have made an effort TO get what
information | could concerning the
fruit industry. There is no good fruit
raised in this republic. A big percent
age Of the fruit trees are diseased and
are being grubbed up and burned, by
government orders. The native apple
IS Of very poor grade but sells for an
enormous price. One can get apples
grown in the States at the best hotels
for thirty to forty cents each. and
occasionally they can be bought at a
fruit store az $3.50 to $3.50 per dozen.
Everything costs about double what
il does in the States and the better
class are very extravagant IN their Nv
ing.
| believe that If Hood River apples
we're introduced here that market
would be created for them. Buenos
Aires has population Of zoo. 600.
MonteyIdeo has over 500, 600 while
Rosano, La Plata, Pasava and Bahia
Blanca are large cities and but short
slt a. Ia
brought me into association with infiu-
encial people here and have taken
every opportunity to talk Hood River.
Practically every dollar have is in
vested in Upper Valley and ! am most
jealous about the future business.
In your appeal for donation toward
the advertising fund you state that il
is your intention to furnish 80 boxes
TO each of fifteen large cities for adj
vertising purposes. My purpose in
writing you is to aeduaint you with
conditions here and in the hope that
you will Sc fit to include Ruenos Aires
In your list. If you will furnish fifty
or even twenty five boxes ! will pay
the transportation and duty and try to
put them where they will do the most
good.
Am writing j. N. Antoine who is
looking after. my business in the States
TO send you check for twenty dollars
as my contribution toward the good
work. Please send me the new litera-
ture when out and let me know what
you think of the proposition | have
made you.
Yours very truly,

The advent of the English guitar in
