Upon this foundation our Lord, a.
the Fathers representative, began t
rear his church, and in so doing h.
called twelve apostles-nOt by acct
dent. but by design. just as tn,
twelve tribes of Israel We're not
twelve by accident. but in conform.
ity to the divine plan. Not only did
the Lord not choose more than those
twelve apostles for that position, but
he has never given authority since
for any more, barring the fact that
Judas. having proved himself un-
worthy OF position among the
twelve. fell from his place and was;
succeeded by the Apostle Paul.
From this it will be seen that we
are entirely out of accord with the
views of those nominal creed systems
who claim that the number Of the
apostles was not limited to twelve.
and that there have been successors
since their day who spoke and wrote
with equal authority with the orig
inal twelve We deny this, and in
evidence note how the Lord particu-
larly chose those twelve, calling To
mind the prominence of the number
twelve in sacred things pertaining to
this election; and We cap the climax
by pointing to the symbOlical picture
of the gloriiicd church furnished in
Rev. 81. There the New Jerusalem
the symbol of the new millennial
the church, the bride
united to her Lords very clearly
and in the picture the
is most distinctly made
that the twelve foundations of the
city are precious, and that in the
twelve foundations were the names
written of the twelve apostles of the
Lamb - no more, no less. What bet
tcr proof could we have that there
were never more than twelve OF these
apostles of the Lamb. and that any
others were, as the Apostle Paul sug-
scsts. false apostles. - Cor II: 10.
Nor can we imagine any need of
more apostles; for we still have those
Twelve with us--thcir testimony and
the fruit of their labors-in Il much
more convenient form than had those
who were personally with them dur
ing their ministry. The records of
their ministries are with us; their
records of the Lords words, miracles,
etc. Their discourscs on the various
topics of Christian doctrine in their
apistlcs are in our hands today in
most satisfactory manner. These

lie explains, that the man of God

THE PROPERTY
OWNERS WANT
THE CONCRETE

Last night at a meeting of the prop
erty owners on North Twelfth street
it was decided to recommend to the
city council that they favor concrete
pavement for that street, and will ask
that 1t be so paved, the contract to
go to w. D. Pugh, the lowest bidder
for that kind of pavement Mr.. Pugh's
bid is $4597, while the El-oso and
bitulithic bids are from $4,000 to $7465,
One serious difficulty with concrete
pavement is the dust caused from
wear, which the committee will en-
deayor to prevent by the use of some
kind Of covering.

MEMS CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION

The annual election Of officers, held
recently by the Young Mems Chris
tian Association Of the State Unlversi-
ty, resulted in the selection Of A. Bur-
leigh Cash, of Hood River, as presi-
dent; Harold Young, Of Eugene, as
vice-presldent; William MacNeill, Of
Albany, recording secretary, and An
drew Collier, of Eugene, as treasurer
The membership has been greatly
increased during the past year It in
cluding at present a total of 1872 men;
80 Of these are active members and
AZ are associate members. This large
membership has necessitated, along
with the greater opportunities for SER
vice, large number Of working COM
mittees than formerly, and at present
there are nine different departments
usuing in the actual Christian work
some 45 students. Interest in this
work is increasing rapidly and even
greater enthusiasm is expected next
year.
The advisory board of the assocla-
tion for next year is particularly
strong, and excellent results will un-
doubtedly be accomplished with such
men as advisers. q. g. DeCou, pro-
fessor Of mathematics in the State
university, and president of the Ore
gon High School Debating league, is
president of this board, while DR.. G.
W. Southworth, Of Eugene, is secre-
tary, and Prof. G. A. McClain is the
financial manager, with direct respon-
sibility for the salary Of the general
secretary other prominent members
of this board are Prof. Conklin, Pres
ident p L. Campbell, Hon R. A. Booth
and Mr. G. A .Dalzell. The general
secretary, who devotes all of his time
to the association work, Charles w.
Koyl, is always glad to hear from
any one interested in the work Of this
association in any way,
A short time ago the association en-
tirely reorganized as corporation,
1t being the purpose of the incorpor-
ators to put the work on a good busi-
ness basis, though dependent upon
friends for maintenance subscriptions,
and to provide, as soon as possible,
the building which has been needed
so long, due to the rapidly increasing
work done by the association,
Headquarters are at present located
on the campus, but the facilities at
hand are entirely inadequate to meet
the demand, valuable lot directly ad-
joining the campus, which is owned by
the association, will be the location
of the fine building, which will prob
ably be erected in the next year or
two, and which will furnish a long
felt want for the university as a
whole.
