she sat in her small rocking-c chair,
ripping out some hemming she had

The dusky sky was lighted up here
and there with the blood red glare
of fires. The guns were heard roar
ing fearfully. Moreover, it was win
ter, and the weather was very cold
and stormy. The good people were
in dread of being plundered and, still
more of being driven out of house and
home, during the toughest season of
the year.
The pious old grandmother alone
took courage and heart from her con-
fidence in God. She read to her chill
dren prayer out of her old prayer
book in which occurred the words:
May God build strong wall and
ward off the enemy from this dwell
ing"
One of the grandchildren who had
listened devoutly, thought it was too
much to ask of God to build a wall:
and said they ought not to pray for
such impossible things.
But the grandmother said: These
words are not to be taken so literally;
they merely mean: May God defend
us as securely from the enemy as if
our house were surrounded by a
| WALL And yet if God chose really
to build wall for our house, do you
think it would be impossible to Him."
Meanwhile the night passed away
without a single soldier of the enemy
approaching the house. Every one
| in the house was surprised But when
they ventured to the door in the
morning, behold! On the very side
on which the enemy were posted, the
snow had been drifted up by the
wind as high as wall, SO that is was
| impossible for any one TO come
! through it.
They all thanked and praised God.
See now" said their grandmother
God has actually built up a wall to
| keep off the enemy from our dwell
ing! He is gracious and merciful,
and infinitely rich in the means
wherewith to deliver us from every
necessity. We should never, then, be
discouraged or timid."

THE PRIEST.

Every Catholic boy and girl should
have profound respect for the priest,
for he is the anointed of the Lord.
There are many things a priest has
to suffer, and in nearly all of his suf-
ferings he is deprived of human SYM
pathy, perhaps it is that he may fol-
low more closely in the footsteps of
his divine Master There is no glory
on earth comparable to the glory of
being a priest, for if there were no
priests there would be no Mass, and
no Blessed Sacrament, nor indeed any
other Sacramento. st. Francis of
Assist, one of the Creates. saints that
has ever blessed this sad earth with
his presence, and the founder of the
Franciscan Order, had a great respect
for priests. He had such a high idea
of the holy calling of priest that,
though he was great saint, he would
never consent to receive more than
minor orders. St. Francis said that if
he met priest and an angel, he would
first salute the priest. When you
came into the world a priest was there
waiting for you, that he could pour
the saving waters of baptism over
your head. And, too, if you will look
back in your short life, you will re-
member that there was always a
priest ready to do all he could for you
in a spiritual way. And it will always
be thus. Wherever you go, whether
to India or Africa or China, you will
find self-sacrificing man, who has
given up the pleasures of life and
welcomed the bitterness of sacrifice,
that he may minister to you. Surely
such one isl worthy of at least a
prayer once in a while. Form the
habit of praying for priests, especially
the ones who have ministered to you;
for you are bound to pray for your
benefactors, and surely priest who
has broken the Bread of Life for your
soul is true benefactor.

INEXPENSIVE FUNERALS IN
AFRICA.

In some parts of Africa the natives
have custom which does away with
costly funerals. When a person dies
he is tied up in a bundle with the
elbows and knees pressed against the
chest, and then thrown into the neigh
boring swamps, where the wild beasts
and the birds of prey devour the body.
Christians are inferred according to
Catholic ceremonial. To put body
in the ground without tying up the
members in crouching position is
one of the principal objections that
the pagans have to the Catholic faith.
The most terrible malediction that
they can launch against each other
is, die and be inferred with the
limbs stretched OUT
There is the greatest haste to get
rid of the body. Christians them

is because death does not inspire them

WOMEN NEEDED FOR THE
APOSTOLIC FIELD.

So much is said regarding the mis-
sion priest that the value Of women in
the same field is sometimes over
looked. The missions require the lat
ter as well as the former, and their
scope of work among their own sex
is unlimited.
The conversion of heather women
is of primary importance to Christian
ity. Woman is the root of the family.
Through the woman the family is
gained. Yet among Mohammedans
and others in Africa, and among the
peoples in China and India, only WON
en- can enter into communication with
women. There is thus an immense
need that Christian virgins should
dedicate themselves to this great
work of saving the heather.

THE SINGING GIRL,

There was little maiden
In blue and silver drest,
She sang to God in Heaven
And God within her breast.
1t flooded me with pleasure,
1t pierced me like a sword,
When this young maiden sang: "My
soul
Doth magnify the Lord"
The stars sing all together
And hear the angels sing,
But they said they had never heard
So beautiful thing.

How the Early Day Lawyers
Once Had Fun in PendIetOn

The early practice Of law in Una
tilla county was somewhat crude and
often rather amusing At least the
court incidents Of those days, as re-
peated by old timers lingering among
us still, are amusing to modern peo-
pie.
Col. William Parsons tells Of a typ
ical incident that happened back in
1871. Judge" Tempieton the jus
tice Of the peace at Meadows (now
Echo) was the principal figure. Be
fore him had been acraigned one Tom
Burns, alleged horse thief and the
evidence was so inconclusive that the
justice felt obliged 20 turn the pris-
oner loose.
Now the justice or the peace in
those days as now was paid in fees,
and Templeton fixed out a bill OF
costs and presented it to the county
court. Because Of some informality,
it was rejected by the court.
Thereupon "Jucge" Templeton
came TO Pendleton and retained jim
Turner an old-time lawyer of waggish
disposition, to make out a proper bllI
and demand payment from the court
After what he considered a sufficient
lapse of time. Templeton came toI
Pendleton again ana presented him
self before his attorney with a polite
request for the money. He was in
formed that the county court had not
yet met again.
Now the good judge was of a So
ciable turn OF mind and dropped into
a convenient saloon 10 quench his
thirst. He asked a few friends up
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1916-09-23

with him and in his indignation de-
cided he would arrest the guilty at
torney for embezzlement.
He was no visionary dreamer. He
was man of action, The old court
then stood where now stands the
Peoples Warehouse and Templeton at
once made his way to the court room.
Seating himself in the judges chair
he made out warrant charging his
attorney with embezziement, appoint
ed Ben Beagle special constable and
ordered him to bring the accused be-
fore him. In a few moments Beagle
returned with the alleged culprit who
was accompanied by Judge B. B.
Bishop as his counsel. No time was
wasted in clearing the deck for ac-
tion. Turner was arraigned and plead
ed not guilty A jury of bystanders
was chosen and the trial was on.
Templeton presiding, made state
ment of alleged facts upon which the
case was brought. He swore no wit
nesses for the state. Then Turner
was placed on the witness box and
duly sworn, He testified to the real
facts and was then subjected to a
sharp ross-questioning by Temple
ton The replies not proving satisfac-
tory to "hizzoner," the latter init
mated in rather plain terms that the
witness was not confining himself to
the truth.
At this juncture Turner fired up
and called the court a dam liar.
Judge Templeton was equal to the
emergency and promptly fined the
defendant twenty Collars for con-
tempt Of court. Turner produced a
twenty and slammed it down on the
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1916-09-23

table. Judge Bishop his attorney,
without hesitation picked up the coin
and pocketed it. to the amazement of
the court.
Before Templeton could express
himself however, counsel for the de-
Tense moved for a dismissal Of the
case for the season that Templeton,
as justice Of the peace at Meadows,
had no jurisdiction in Pendleton, and
thus could not try case, much less
assess a fine for contempt
The grounds were so palpable that
even Templeton was forced to admit
them. Constable Beagle" he shout
bed in his wrath, adjourn this court

judge and constable crossed the
street to Jacobs sa:oon where now
stands the Judd building. Arriving
there it was decided that, instead OF
a fight. Turner should be punished
by spending the twenty dollars IN
Bishops hands for drinks and other
refreshments. This was finally agreed
to. and the money was judiciOusly, il
not judically, expended.
But the trouble did not end there.
After several rounds had been served,
the "barkeep," inspired for the pur
pose, complained that he had been
robbed, ordered the doors closed and
his patrons searched. Diligent search
was made and, as was to he expected,
a miscellaneous assortment Of tum-
blers, silver spoons and other bar fur
was found I'm Judge Tenn

oonfided his troubles in collecting his
