cling salesman, and his work in Ho-

much comment. 1t WIN suffice to say
that he has never had a part that

best in the extensive repertoire Of

evening is in every way magnificent

a theme showing plainly the train Of

acterized the exhibit made this year
by the Society of Arts and Crafts at

and originality being shown in each
department. Mrs. Rockers exhibit,

which equalled old, famous print in
loveliness.

occasioned much favorable comment,
the posters done by Mrs. Conklin

THANKSGIVING SERVICE
AT NEWMAN NJ. l.. Oh URCH

The Newman Methodist Episcopal
church was filled for the Thanksgiv-
ing services Thursday evening, all
the churches joining in the union
meeting, at which Rev. Water OF the
Bethany Presbyterian church preach
ed the sermon. Music was by the
congregation, and included also
beautiful solo by Mrs. Day.
Rev. Water in opening took the op-
portunity TO thank the people OF
Grants Pass for the cordial reception
given Mrs. Water and himself, and
then developed Psalm 107, with the
refrain as the key, "Oh that men
would praise the Lord for His good
ness, and for His wonderful works
to the children OF men"
From this Scripture basis he
brought out the idea Of all life being
in all ages a great Thanksgiving
Castle" in which experience brought
men to recognize the goodness and
rejoice in the bounty of God. To
each of four sections of the psalm,
verses l to 81, was given the name
of picture hung upon the walls of
this castle, all having in common the
Christian spirit of self-sacrifice and
brotherhood
Under the first picture was in
scribed He gave Himself" Christ
at prayer in the garden exemplifying
the principle of all Except a
corn of wheat fall into the ground
and die, it abldeth alone, but If It
die, it bringeth forth much fruit"
This thought was illustrated from
the history of Israel and the Puri-
tans, both of whom were inspired by
the principle of the cross.
The second picture was that of
Peace and Liberty" At the st.
Louis worlds fair hung three pic
lures, the central one with the above
title, the cost of war being shown to
the right and left, In the death of
brave General Lawton and a humble
Philippine soldier. The Balkan war
was the most cruel in history, rem
dering homeless 100000 families,
and causing starvation and misery.
War is only justified in defense of
the noblest principles of life, and
peace is the greater victory.
In the next picture the Progress
and Plenty" that had outlived many
catastrophes, two great wars and the
San Francisco earthquake was con-
trasted to the hardships and limita-
tions of pioneer days, which a pros
porous farmer viewed in a dream In
vention, healthful environment, sci
ence, education and religious oppor-
tunities had largely removed the
limitations of the past, said the
speaker.
The last lesson was that all of
these were but splendid achievements
unto Redemption, and placed a
great responsibility upon the Chris
tian church, as leader of the forces
of the home, school and society. In
this development of the national con-
science, which for practical purposes
here, meant the Grants Pass standard
of morality and spirituality, the par
ent must clasp hands with the public
school teacher, and unite with
church and civil authorities for the
betterment of life. Not only must
the streets, yards and buildings be
uniformly beautifed, but all the ele-
ments of evil that lower the standard
of righteousness must be brought un-
der the reign of purity and right
Thus" said the speaker, Grants
Pass should lead southern Oregon
as America must lead the world to
the feet of the victorious, oncoming
Christ"
