A SUNDAY SERMON.
o AND DISASTER.

He hat loyeth not knoweth not
God; for God is loye.-I John, ", 8.
The sinking Of the Titanic-most
appalling and destructive of modern
sea accidents-has been used IS q text
for countless sermons.
In many Of these m it has
been spoken of as a "~warning' from
God, and some persons are sincere
in their belief that it was such.
One preacher went so far as to say
the catastrophe was a visitation of
Divine wrath upon one ma who was
a passenger On the ship-and who
went town ike q hero.
OF course, such q statement is not
seriously regarded by any one, but
many another milder and less rash
Cne is listened to and pondered.
AS a matter of serious fact, multi
tudes of men and women have been
asked to view this terrible happening
as carefully planned and dramatically
executed by a God of love. mercy and
justice
A few centuries ago, when religion
was a stern, cold. fo%rbidding propo-
siticn. and when a God of wrath and
vengeance Was the common ideal.
there would have been no need fol
urging such a view.
Then it was pretty generally be
lieved hat visitation Of the sins Of the
fathers upon the Cnllufen. uHlo tne
third and fourth generation, was j
personal act of Divinity. Now there
is a pretty general belief that this
visitation is often a result of man
ignorance and carelessness, for science
is helping US to avoid many of tbs
consequence once regarded as tn
punishment of a Jealous God.
Along with This change has come

LEWISTON
SPECIAL TRAIN
Our Neighbors Making Ar
rangements to Attend Bor-
der Days in Force.

A movement for a special train to
be run from Lewiston to Grangeville
during the Border Days celebration
to be held there next week, was
launched yesterday by President VIM.
Thomson, Of the Lewiston-C Charleston
Fair association. committee will
be named and negotiations entered
into with the railroad company to
secure the special train service after
which the schedule and price of round
trip tickets will be announced.
During the past several days there
have been many inquiries as to Sc
curing a special train to the Border
Days celebration to accommodate the
lewiston people and citizens of other
points along the line who cannot
take two days and two nights from
homes to attend the meeting. 1t Is
planned to have the train depart from
Lewiston at an early hour In the
morning and reach Grangeville in
time for the first of the days pro-
gram. The train will be held in
Grangeville until after the evening
dinner hour and the visitors will
then be returned to their homes.
This arrangement will allow the citi-
zens along the line to spend a day at
the celebration without being away
from their homes and business for
more than a day and the fare charged
will probably be the excursion rate OF
fare and one-third for the round
"trip.
A report received from Grangeville
last night stated the plans for the
celebration are progressing in a most
satisfactory manner. The grandstand
has been enlarged to seat 5000 peo
pie and the committee In charge oi
the program has received advicee
from William Rookie that he has al
ready secured 80 outlaw horses and
large number of Wild horses to be
taken to Grangeville for the buckins
contests.

WILL IMPROVE
STOCKYARDS
Long Deferred Demands of
Local Stock Shippers Will
be Met by Highline.

The lack Of conveniences at the
local stockyards, especially the alb
sence of water for the stock held
there for shipment, which has worked
such hardship upon the local stock
buyers and shippers. is to be cor
rected at an early date, according to
q letter received this week by Evan
Evans from C. w. Mount, district
freight and passenger agent OF the o.
w. r. & NJ. of Lewiston. This mat
ter has been presented to the railroad
company and to the state sanitary in
spector and his deputy by the COM
mercial club, with intimations on the
part of the company that matters
would be corrected, and promises posi-
tive on the part of the inspector that
the company would have to make the
desired improvements, but this is the
first open declaration on the part of
a reliable representative of the High
Line that steps would be at once
taken to remedy the bad conditions
prevailing at the yards, and this, as
will be readily seen, comes to a pri-
vate citizen, showing that Mr.. Evans
must have been doing some private
work in connection with the matter.
The letter, which has the right kind
of ring to it follows:
Lewiston, Idaho, Sept. 6, 1912.
Mr.. Evan Evans,
Grangeville, Idaho.
My dear Mr.. Evans:
With regard to the required i'm
provements of the Grangeville stock
yards:
Material has been ordered and 1t is
expected that water will be placed in
the yards within the next ten days
or two weeks. Some plan is also be-
ing considered which will overcome
the mud conditions during the bad
weather which has interfered SO ma
terially with the shipping of hogs.
This is not an easy matter to over
come, but some method will be devils
ed soon. 1t has also been decided
to make improvements of the stock
yards at Fem and Steunenberg, and
you may say this to your friends.
1t will take little time to do this,
and l trust that shippers will be pa
tient until it has been accomplished.
Yours very truly,
c. w. MOUNT.
