 Rev. Bro Arnold is working hard every day to arouse a still deeper church interest among the people in and about Hatfield. Yet every man, whether he belongs to a church or not, owes it to himself and community to attend some church service once each Sunday anyway. The church is very in strumental in keeping down crime and disorder-something that all fair minded men approve of.
 Even if man can't sing, talk or take any part in church services, his presence alone. is invaluable. It shows which side he is on, and besides no minister can preach his best unless he is supported and has large congregation present to hear him preaeh

SPECIAL MEETINGS
AT BAPTIST CHURCH
ARE WELL RECEIVED

The services yesterday at the Bap-
tist church made splendid beginning
for the series of special meetings to
be conducted by Rev. H. f. Marshall,
noted evangelist during the next two
weeks
In the evening his subject was
Thinking, Turning. Running" and
there was manifest by the audience a
great deal of interest in what The
speaker, who is both forceful and elo-
quent, had to say. He speaks fear
lessly but so pleasantly and with SO
much sympathy that his hearep at
once become his friends. Many are
hopeful that his meetings will mean
a real revival in the church and in
the town.
The congregation extends an invi-
tation to all to attend the services
which are held each evening begin
ming at 7:3O and the afternoon meet
ines on Tuesday, Wednesday anl
Friday beginning at $50. This ev-
ening his subject will be "Camou-

pastor, who has been out of town on
business, is expected back this even

m RECON cannot afford to
W lose President Kerr of o.
A. c., and should take
any steps necessary to see
that he is retained where he is.
He has placedOregon on the
educational map and with due
respect to all other institutions
it is but the truth to say that
the school of which President
Kerr is the head and which he
has built up is the only part of
the Oregon educational scheme
that has acquired sufficient ma
tiOnal distinction to be seen
more than a block away. Ore
gon schools need more men of
the calibre of DR.. Kerr and for
Kansas to try to get him is ask
ing water to run up hill. The
development of the future is to
be in the northwest, not upon
the prairies, and the East Ore
gonian hopes the vision of the
days to come in this region
will inspire President Kerr to
remain and play his part in the
great empire building era that
will be on here following the
war when the Panama canal
comes into use. S.
