STANDING IN THEDAWN
Of NEW, GLORIOUS DAY
Rev. Julian K. Smith Discusses Eu-
ropean War and Its Sig
nifcance.

Rev. Julian K. Smith of New York
delivered a lecture on the war and its
Significance yesterday at the Church OF
the New Jerusalem. 18th and Corcoran
streets northwest, entitled THE Real
War;" in which he declared that the
law of Christian love is assailed by the
new doctrine of might, as urged by
Treitzchke, Bernhard and others, who
assert that weakness is the one unfor-
givable SIN"
within the present war;" Mr.. Smith
said. another conflict is raging. 1t is
being pushed with great determination.
The cornbatants are lively and they are
strong. They are contending for the
right to rule the world.
Admits of No Compromise.
Statesmen have declared that the
present war was inevitable. This is
even more true of this deeper conflict
Two such systems cannot live at peace
with each other: and there can be no
compromise between them. One or the
other must rule. The late Prof J. A
Cramb, in one of his lectures on Ger
many and England, delivered Few
months before the war broke out, said:
In Europe the conflict between Christ
and the spirit Of Napoleon for the mas
terry over the minds of men is the most
significant spiritual phenomenon of the
twentieth century,
IF this be true. let US face the issue
and take our places. To be neutral
here will proclaim our weakness and
prove to be our disgrace. Christ the
Lord must be obeyed or men must
cruelty Him for good and all Ma
poleon himself, however, reminded Ber-
trand that no man had ever lived for
whom a century after his death any In
dividua1 was willing to die; and yet
after eighteen centuries millions are
in nurnberless ways laying down their
lives for Jesus Christ
- know men, said Napoleon. and
Jesus Christ is not a man. The same
incalculable distance marks the diff
ference between the law OF love and
the law CT might.
Giving, Redeeming Force"
The true Christian love proclaimed
through Jesus Christ has the support
of the divine promises Its ultimate
triumph is predicted with mistaken
confidence. Falsity and evil may spring
up and cause strife and misery, but in
the end the life of Christian love will
prevail. The song of the angels will
yet sway the world: Peace on earth;
good will to men,
My faith is that we are standing in
the dawn of new and glorious day; a
day promised by the Lord when, not in
person but in a fresh outpouring of His
spirit and love, there will be new
and wonderful development of mans
true life upon the earth.

Maiden, says the Mountaineer, Is the
name Of small junctionItown on the
Milwaukee not far from Spokane. For
some time It has been a rendezvous for
''tinhorns" and women chasers, but at
last the good people Of the place took a
stand for law, order and decency. Al
a result the town has been placed in
the prohibition column, when the coun.
ell at a recent meeting revoked the
licenses Of three saloons and also closed
too pool rooms. In raid made by the
officers fifteen men and women were
arrested for violation Of state laws and
for immortality. The day Of wide-open
towns in the west is a thing Of the past.
We are now living In an age when
laws must be respected by ''big bust.
ness" and little business" and the
sooner people start In to adjust them
selves to the new order Of things the
better it will be for themselves and the
people in general.

school next Sabbath, and by your pres
ence show that you appreciate the
labors OF those who are working to
maintain religious institutions in the
community. The association Of an hour
with your neighbors, studying the
Scriptures, will certainly not hurt you,
while the discussions Of the great
moral principles as taught by Christ
Will do you good. The historical value
Of Bible study is worth while. Last
Sunday, at the Christian Sunday school,
the story Of the good Samaritan was
brought out. And what is this story?
A story that has touched the hearts Of
mankind since It was uttered by Jesus
1900 years ago. Upon this story ID
based one Of the lessons used the
world ove- by the Odd Fellows lodge,
with its more than two millions Of mem.
bers, an order that lives and will live
because it is built on the eternal foun-
dalton principles Of moral truths,
taught by Christ.

The Blake gang paid $500 for county
jail, and then piled the stuff on . va
cant lot like a lot Of junk, leaving it
there for almost three years, when it
was given to the city. Now they want
to build a new Jail and buy another
batch Of junk, and invite the taxpayers
to mortgage their homes to the extent
Of go, 900 to pay the bills. How do the
farmers like it? Why should the peo-
pie outside Of Orofino be taxed to pay
for $500 cell for the village Of Orofino?
Didn't do it? Alright, Mr.. Taxpayer,
the first time you are in Orofino take
the time to visit the new city jail, in
which the peoples $500 cell, purchased
from book agent by Pat Blake and
the gang three years ago, is now To-
Gated, and get Pat to show you just
how, when the new court house is
built, they propose to get the peoples
$500 ornament out Of the city Jail. How
are they going to take the cell, now
bolted solidly together, down, and how
get it out Of the city building? And find
out how the Village Of Orofino got
$500 worth Of Clearwater county prop
erty presented to them? Then 90
home and vote for bonds, mortgage
your homes for go, 600 that the same
gang may expend it for you In the

handled the rest Of the county business.
