Zoo HEAR, DR.. HENRY
At OUTDOOR MEETING
will MAN-POWER WIN THIS
WAR" PROVES AN ENTHRAIL-
ING SUBJECT.
Subject at Happy Canyon Meeting Is
THE biggest Fool in Pendleton,"
Based Upon Second Samuel 1888.

(By Rev. r. E Gornall)
DR. Henry gave II spirited address
at the corner of Alta and Main last
night on the subject, 'will Man-power
Win This War?" The public is in
creasingly appreciating these great
addresses-2OO were present last
night.
The speaker revealed sin himself
the fact that he had an all inclusive
comprehension of the principles
which underlie and which precipitated
| this war. He showed such detailed
thoroughness that one was astonish-
ed. The necessity of conscription not
merely of men, but or food products
and the nations wealth. The poor
citizen who volunteers was highly
commended, while the man who cor
ners the food products of our coun'
try for personal gain is traitor with
the German sympathizer who delib-
erately blows up an ammunition
plant. There must be a mobilization of
all men and means, in our fighting
force and productive force so that
every man may be given chance to
contribute his share. Even then man
power alone cannot win this war!
God is with the U. S. as surely as He
was with the children of Israel. Man
power plus God will bring a victory
with a lasting peace.
To Speak Again Tonight.
DIR. Henry will speak at the same
location tonight upon, God and the
War" Remember the time. 7;15.
The subject at Happy Canyon was
THE Biggest Fool in Pendleton,"
Sat1 a'DiPH Alb
ner as a fool dieth." Abner was a
mighty general. the military leader
under King Sol. The scripture rec
ord gives two references concerning
his death. "A prince and great
man has fallen this day-died Abner
as a fool dieth." There are many
types of fools, but the acme of them
all is that one who settles it that he
will die Goddess.
Abner died a fools deah as a re-
suit of unworthy ambitions of self
seeking and seIf-indulgence. Again
he died as a result of the basest
treachery. He was the Judas Ischar-
lot of his day. He sold his king and
country, and thus committed the
highest political crime which was
punishable by death. He was man
of the most loathsome impurity.
When rebuked by the king he arro-
gantly said. Am a dogs head that
1 should consult you"
Died As a Fool Dies.
He died as a fool because of the
blindest credulity. Joab was his in
veterate enemy, yet when this man
called Abner to step aside that he
might speak peaceabiy to him he took
the fatal step and received the dagger
thrust The blindest credulity is that
of irreligion. The sinner will trust a
horse shoe for good luck but can
not trust God! They will trust their
Judgment. memory and convience. but
will not put faith in their creator.
He died as a fool because of un-
used privileges. He was mighty
general, a diseiplinarian. a master of
self defense His hands were not in
letters nor feet bound when life
was at stake. yet he did nothing but
die! What advantageth it to be born
in the goth century A. ID. instead OF
1000 B. c., if you do not utilize the
blessings of this period. Better have
been born in the jungles of Africa
than in Pendleton. If under the
shadow of these church steeples you
are Goddess!
Abner died literally just one step
from safety. Hebron was a city of
refuge. No capital crime could be
committed therein. With this thought
controlling Joab he requested not Abb
ner to come to some prominent park
or building, but to step out of the city
gate. This was the fatal st0-he
stepped out rather than in. 1t is a
dreadful place to die within an arms
length OF safety. Dr. Henry made
convincing plea for right decision.
Tonight the subject will be. "Six
Brothers; one in Hell and Five on the
, WAY"
