SEVERE Blizzard EAST
Great Suffering in Eastern Cities on
Account of Severe Snow Storm.

While Oregon is enjoying the incest
kind of weather eastern states are in
the grip of the worst storm of the
year. In Scranton, Penn, Sunday
night at the revival meeting held in
the Auditorium where Billy Sunday
was the attraction, more than 1000
men, women and children had to stay
in the building all night so severe
and sudden was the storm, many at
tempted to go home and number
lost their lives in the attempt, while
Others were badly frozen. In New
York the blizzard is the worst in 26
years and number of deaths are re-
ported there by freezing. All bust
ness was at stand still and food
famine is feared, unless the weather
moderates at once.

Dallas B. Y. p. u, Benefit.

The minstrel performance given by
the McMinnville College men at the
armory, last evening for the benefit
Of the Dallas Young Peoples Union,
was well attended and the entertain
ment given was very good. The hall
was so cold that it took more than or
dinary effort to be entertained and
that was the cause Of the lack of en-
thusiasm that was due the perform
ers. There was good talent among
those who took part and the different
numbers presented deserve special
mention but lack of space prevents.
The B. P. Y. P. union deserve credit
for the extra work that they perform
ed to present to a Dallas audience
this class Of entertainment and we
hope that receipts were such that they
were paid for their trouble.

Methodist Church.

Sunday was great day at the
Methodist Church. Large audiences
assembled both morning and evening
In the morning the pastor spoke on
the "Agnostic of the Grave" He
pointed out the Inconsistency of the
agnostic in declaring God unknowable
because He cannot be known by math-
ematical demonstration.
The mothers love for her baby is
outside the pale of such demonstra-
tion, yet is fact. The fact of God,
and many others in every day life are
not matters of inductivo science, but
of deductive science.
Miss Goldie Vaughn sang very
fine solo. Three persons united with
