A BaptismaI Service

July ga goodly number of
people gathered in Lawyers can
yon, Nezperce Crossing, from
Red Rock, Cottonwood, Ferdi-
nand, Vollmer and Nezperce, for
a days service. The first service
was held at II o'clock, under the
shade of large trees. Following
this service nine were baptized.
At 1 o'clock luncheon was
served, provided by all.
At 2.30 another service was
held in the shade of the trees on
the river bank. Elder D. F.
Starr of Forest, assisted the
writer in all the services.
The day was pleasant and all
returned home feeling much
benefited by the services.
The next day several more de-
cided to keep the commandments
of God and the faith of Jesus,
and another baptismal service
will be held later. Twenty two
in all have decided to worship
and obey the Lord, and others
are giving the matter serious
consideration. The matter of
building a church is now under
advisement.
In the language of the scrip
ture, Come with US and we will
do thee good for the Lord hath
spoken good concerning Israel. :"

What Next

Several years ago a cumber-
some continuance on two wheels
made its appearance and created
furore of ridieule, laughter and
jeers. 1t was called rich mans
toy and molycoddle's plaything
and a short life was predicted.
But the prophets were at fault,
the bicycle became the greatest
craze of its day, and now is in
general use as necessity for
people who find it necessary to
cover ground hurriedly and yet
can not afford the more expen-
sive means.
A few years later another ugly
monster pulled and snorted and
ratified its way into public notice,
leaving in it's wake a streak of
smoke and foul smelling odors.
1t was an automobile, and it too,
was greeted with wild shouts
and grimaces of ridicule. The
wise and unwise both predicted
its failure as a practical vehicle
of motive power. Yet the mil
lions in use today testify to the
falseness of the greatest of our
prophets.
A few weeks ago there ap
peared in one of our Atlantic
coast ports a great and powerful
merchant submarine. 1t came
from Germany and had nosed it's
way beneath the surface into
neutral water despite the watch
fulness of the warships of the
allies. Another furore was
created and the newspapers were
filled with accounts of the Won
derful craft that had made it's
way across the Atlantic with a
cargo of goods.
Again the prophet sees failure
ahead, but there are those who
believe the Deutschland to be but
the harbinger of a great fleet of
under water craft capable of con-
Quoting commercial relations !
with other countries irrespective
of blockades or enemy ships of -,
war. !
These few instances but illus {
trate the fact that the ingenuity :
Of man IS yet in its infancy, that !
the surface of scientific discovery {
has scarcely been scratched,
and that our children and our
children will look back :
to 1916 as we think of the Dark
Ages, when the mind of man
was sleeping in it's cradle of +
-ethargy. +
