WHAT ACTION SHOULD
CHRISTIANS TAKE.


Many are somewhat agitated and
disturbed As to what course Chris
tians should pursue in the present
war Those who have conscientious
convictions against fighting are an
sious to know just what course they
should pursue in order to be exempt
cd from conscription. They under
stand that God demands of his serv-
ants that they should cheerfully and
heartily submit to the government
under which they live in all cases,
except when. submission to the re-
1uirements OF the civil government
involves the violation of Gods law.
in this case they feel that their first
duty is to God and that they should
obey God rather than man. Many
have thought that IL would be well
to suggest some line of action for all
Christians to follow. But we are not
lble to suggest anything further
han that all Christians should be
saihful to God and submissive to the
;ivil authorities, unless such submis-
zion should require violation of
liked and conscientious convictions.
1t will hardly be questioned that the
ipirit and genius of the Christian re-
.ligion is against carnal warfare. The
bible is so clear upon this point that
It is only necessary to quote some OF
he scripture teaching bearing on the
,ubject in the sermon on the Mount
The Savior declares:
"Ye have heard that 1t was said,
An eye for an eye, and tooth for a
tooth; But l say unto you, Resist not
Iim that is evil; but whosoever smit-
eth thee on thy right cheek, turn to
him the other also. And If any man
would go to law with thee, And take
iway thy cloak, let him have thy
:loak also. And whosoever shall com
pel thee to go one mile go with him
.wo." Matt. 5: 3S-41. He also says
'Ye have heard that 1t was said.
Thou shai. love thy neighbor and
hate thine enemy; but l say unto
you, love your enemys, and pray for
hem that prosecute you" (Verses
f3-44.) We find the same teaching
n Rom 10: 1921, which reads:
,Avenge not yourself. beloved but
give place unto the wrath of God !:
for it is written, Vengeance belong
eth unto me; ! will recompence.
saith the Lord. But IL thine enemy
aunger. feed him; If he thirst, give
him to drink: for in so doing thou
halt heap Goals of fire upon his
read. But not overcome of evil, with
,ood."
When a Christian lays aside the
sword of the spirit and engages in
carnal warfare, he cannot conscient-
iously claim to be following the
meek and lowly Jesus. Christ suf-
iered and died, resisting not evil, and
thus left MS an example that we
should walk in his steps. For this is
acceptable. If for conscience toward
God a man endureth grief. suffering

EASY WAY TO GET
RID OF INDIGESTION

Although you may have indiges-
ton so severely that anything
but the simplest of foods cause
you the keenest suffering, there
is a simple way to get back safely
to pleasanter, more nourishing
foods. Just take teaspoonful of
pure bisurated magnesia in a lit
tie hot or cold water with each
meal and begin at once to eat
little of any food you crave. Bis
urated Magnesia which comes in
the form Of powder or tablets
(never as liquid or milky is not
a laxative, but neutralizes the ex-
cess acid In the stomach and SO
prevents OF stops all the pain of
indigestion. Its use cannot, like
pepsin, soda, ETC., do the stomach
any injury and 1t will soon enable
you to eat good hearty satisfying
meals of the foods you like best
without fear of bad results. Sold

The Parents Abdication

Besides several future presidents, and possibly
the greatest American novelist thousands OF just
average young Americans begin the fall term of
school.
And mothers by the hundred rejoice openly be-
cause school has. taken the youngsters out of the
house and out of the way most Of their waking
hours five days week.
The feelings of these mothers would be griev-
ously Injured if they were told they are deliber-
ately shelving any of their own duties upon the
teachers.
The teachers know this, however, altho they do
not protest. They know growing evil of the
public school system for the past ten years has
been the shrinking of parental responsibility for
what children do in school hours
And teachers feel the evil is increasing not be-
cause cooperation between school and home cam
not be arranged satisfactorily, but because the
understanding between the parent and the child
is not of the right kind
The child at school reflects the home.
The boy will not mind his teacher if he is not
accustomed to mind his mother. A child will be
tardy at school if he is permitted to be late to
breakfast. A bully will terrify his schoolmates
at recess if he is allowed to feast and scare his
own little brothers and sisters.
Many fond mamma sends child to his classes
with clean hands and neat clothing as matter of
personal pride, while disclaiming all responsible
ity for his disobedience and laziness, as if his
manners and character were things she could not
POSSIBLY have part in shaping.
American parents are always ready to pick
flaws in the public school system-and heaven
knows they are easy to pick-but the number
would be grandly reduced if some parents would
seek with the same eagerness for mistakes in the
home training of their little ones
And the worst of it all is that everybody bames
the poor child. He is called 'sbad" and he en-
dnres punishment which his elders really de-
serve because his 'sbadness' is mostly the re-
suit of their laziness, selfshness or stupidity
Parents who are slackers add big sums to the
cost of education. So here is a chance for patri-
otto mothers to try a new kind of wartime econo->
my. Help the teachers by raising children who
know how to behave in school. Then see that
they do behave.

TROOPS CALLED OUT
TO PROTECT FORESTS
Two Bulgarian Fire Fighters
Burned to Death Near
Astoria

Portland, Or, Aug. 25. ~ Picked
troops-all experts with rifle-were
sent to Oregon forests today with or.
ders to shoot without warning any per
son found setting fires.
| State authorities are convinced that
most of the hundreds of fires burning
in this state were of incendiary origin.
German sympathizers who are deter,
mined to hinder America s war activ-
tiles are responsible.
The forest fire situation throughout
the Pacific northwest is more serious
today than it has been at any time dur
ing the summer. A GREAT pail of smoke
covers most Of Washington, Oregon,
eastern and northern Idaho and west
ern Montana. In many districts the sun
lis entirely blotted out by the smoke
blanket. Here in Portland it is only an
orb of sickly red which shows dimly.
Smoke fills the air and small white
flakes of einders drift earthward like
snow.
The fires claimed their first victims
in blaze near Astoria where two Bull
garian fire fighters were burned like
rats in a trap.
The situation is the most serious in
northern Idaho and western Montana.
One blaze in the Sheepeater Buttes,
ninety miles east Of Grangeville, Ida
no, has burned over IL square miles OF
valuable timber, according to reports
from there early today. Little headway
has been made by fire fighters in the
Lewiston, Idaho, district and the blaz-
es threaten the Lochsa, said to be the
largest body Of white pine timber in
the country. /"
New fires were reported in western
Montana today and squads of men were
rushed from Missoula and other cities
to combat them. Several of the larger
fires in this district, however, have
been brought under control.
Numerous fires are reported in Wash
ington and Oregon. Douglas county,
Oregon, alone has more than fifty fires
