YOUNG MAN AWAY FROM HOME.

Rev. T. S. Handsaker spoke on the
above topic to large audience at the
Christian church last Sunday even
ing. The sermon was based on the
parable Of the prodigal son, recorded
in the fifteenth chapter of Luke.
The minister said "It is taught
by many that the hoy who turned out
to be a prodigal, was an incorrigable
when he left home; that it was real
ly relief to his father to be rid of
him. But there is really nothing in
the Bible account to justify such a
conclusion. On the other hand, the
boy showed a commendable spirit of
enterprise in getting out into the
world to make a start for himself.
| According to the custom of the day,
his older brother would get the lion S
share of his fathers estate. This
boy had the spirit of our fathers who
crossed the Great American Desert
in the 40s and sos and laid the
foundation of our present Western
civilization.
1.-The mistake that this boy made
is the mistake that other boys have
made and are still making of
getting into bad company. The
scripture account says he wasted his
substance in riotous living We may
here read between the lines the story
of his gradual downfall. No one be-
comes great sinner in a day.
But that there was much good in
the boy is shown in his after conduct
when he came to himself and said
will arise and so to my father and
| confess my wrong and ask for a ser.
wants place in my old home. Then
suiting the action to the word he
arose, came to the father in rags ant
tatters, made his apology and was re
stored to the love and confidence OF
the father and mother heart
The minister plead for more char
ity for the boys who go wrong or
account of the traps set for their in
experienced feet. He told the story
of boy in another Oregon town who
had accumulated several hundred
dollars by honest toll, only to have i
fllched from him in a few days b,
gamblers.
Next Sunday night will be "Bo,
Night. Subject of discourse, Jus

SCHOOL NOTES.

By Supt. S. Z. Notson.

Last week | visited the schools in
Districts No. so, No. "a and No. 27.
The school in District No. SO is un-
der the direction of Mrs. Louise Rit-
chic. The pupils are alert, and the
work is done with enthusiasm. The
building is receiving a new coat of
paint, which will add to it's appear
ance
In District No. 54 Miss Helen
Gould is the teacher. Nine pupils
are enrolled. The building is new
and up-to-date. The light is admit
ted from the left side of the school
room. There is an ample hall at the
entrance. On either side of the hall
there is good sized cloak-room. The
building is supported by concrete
foundation. The water supply is kept
in a closed jar which is equipped
with bubbling fountain attachment.
The room is ventilated and heated by
means of a new Waterbury heating
plant. The outbuildings are we'll
built and are kept in excellent condi-
ton The fuel house is large enough
for an ample supply of coal and wood
There is also good stable on the
premises. The school has a fine
globe, a large dictionary on good
stand, and full set of maps. There
are two splendid framed pictures in
the school room. A nice flag was fly
ing from the flagstaff on the front of
the building. Miss Gould has a very
interesting school. The primary
pupils were doing some exceptionally
good language work.
In District No. 27, D. C. Conner is
at the helm. Fourteen pupils are on
the roll, and all We're present
noted some excellent charts which
Mr.. Conner had made himself. How
ever, Mr.. Conner is too modest to
claim much for the charts. either for
workmanship or educational merit
but have no doubt that they serve a
very useful purpose and produce
results equal to charts which are
sometimes purchased at fabulous
prices They have one decided
merit, and that is they contain just
what the teacher wishes to teach
noted that the tiag-pole had beer
repaired and the flag was displayed
On this trip | observed that the
Banana Belt" had been thoroughly
wet up by the recent rains. Every
thing points to a good crop for this
section.
