and on, and on, through an endless eternity, is beyond the power of human mind to fathom. Ten thous- and times ten thousand years will be but the beginning of eternity. How sweet is the word eternity. Thru Christ we have bit of that eternity in this life. To me eternity means, rest, peace, joy, God, mother friends, light, lift. It means to be with Christ which is the sweetest of all. Eternity out of Christ means darkness, remorse, despair, and shut out from God. Are you ready for eternity?
 "Second, everyone will spend eter- nifty somewhere. You will never cease to be. Pastor Russell's theory that the wicked will be annihilated is a lie Everyone must spend eternity somewhere You will receive letters from our soldiers boys. from Some where In France Thus you must be somewhere in eternity.
 "Third, the question of where we will spend eternity is of vastly more importance than where we will spend this life. Yet some are not even living in this world They are living in world of selflshness chasing after wealth. Wealth lasts only twenty, thirty, forty years, but etern- ity is forever. A child of the King has an inheritance that is worth more than all the wealth of this world This life is but days journey to eternity. You may be travelling in a stuffy day coach, but if you have Jesus Christ you are travelling to a city of palaces. Some are travelling de luxe, so far as this world is con- cerned, but they are travelling to hell
 Fourth. it is possible for man to know beyond the shadow of doubt where he will spend eternity. No one need laugh at statement like this The Bible says, we have pass ed from death unto life.' There is nc guess work about Christians life There is no conjecture about where you will spend eternity He that be- lievelh on the Son hath life, but he

SUGGESTIONS FOR < CHRISTMAS GIFTS
 FOR SOLDIERS
Red Cross Gives Informa- tion Relative To Percels
 For Million Men.

 The Red Cross has issued the fol- lowing:
 By Christmas the United States will have more than 100000 men un- der arms, and everyone will be eager to help in giving them Christmas cheer
 No matter how generous a supply of gifs some of the men may receive from families and friends, it is be- lieved that all Red Cross members will want to unite in sending to each man a Christmas packet filled with good things and good will.
 In order that the men may be equally remembered and yet that there may be a pleasing variety in the contents, the following suggestions are made for preparing and assem- bling the Christmas parcels:
 General Suggestions.
 l. Nothing should go in them which will not keep fresh from the time of packing until Christmas.
 2. Dried friuts and other food tin boxes, one-quarter to one-half pound size.
 8. Hard candy, including chocolate would probably be safe in tin foil or heavy cardboard, but no soft choco- lates nor anything that could possi- bly, be crushed should be used, as the other contents of the package might be spoiled thereby. 4. Several dainties packed in ob long boxes, each holding quarter of a pound, will provide bette rvariety than a larger quantity of single con lection. ). No liquids nor articles packed in glass should be placed in the pack age. How to Wrap Parcels. 6. For wrapping the gifts use a 1 khaki-colored handkerchief, 27 inches square, and form the base of the pack ct by placing on the center of the handkerchief pad of writing paper l about ' by 10 inches. [. Select a variety of articles eith CT from the suggested list Cor ac cording to individual wishes) to an amount not exceeding $1.50, and ar range them on the pad of paper sc that the entire package shall be the width of the pad and approximately 5 or 6 inches hign. l 8. Wrap and tie with 1 inch rec ribbon and place a Christmas card 1 under the bow of ribbon. card bear ing the greetings of the chapter would be desirable.
 9. Wrap the parcel again in heavy | light-brown manila paper and tie SC curely with red, green or gilt cord and use Christmas labels or American flags, as desired.
 Articles Suggested for Packets. l Khaki-colored handkerchief, 21 inches square, for container. 1 Writing paper pad, about by 1( inches.
 Envelopes. ] Pencil. l Postals. Book Gin paper covers.) l Scrapbook, homemade, containing a good story, some jokes, etc.

NAVY HONOR CARDS
FOR WINDOWS

That everybody may know from
which homes men have gone forth to
serve their country in the navy, and as
an inspiration to others to follow,
there has just been issued from the
press of the U. S. Navy Publicity Bu-
reau, a card with the following In
scription:
"A man from this house is now serv-
ing his country at the front in the
United States Navy
In the upper corner of the card ap-
pears the impressive seal of the Navy,
while below is space for the sigma
ture of the Commanding officer.
The cards are now being mailed, first
to all of the apprentice seamen at the
naval training stations and they will
eventually reach every man in the
service After being signed and dis
tributed they are to be mailed home
and placed in the window of the house
as a mark of honor as well as con-
slant reminders of duty to the young
man who still hestitates in the face of
the country's call for men.

SWEEPING Y. M. c. A.
CAMPAIGN PLANNED

According to plans outlined Monday
morning by the committee in charge,
the Hood River valley will raise 81 00C
next week to apply to the Army Y.
M. C. A. fund. Next Monday and
Tuesday will be Army Y. M. c. A.
days and committees will make a
house to house canvass in all sections.
Banks, railway companies and fratern-
al associations will be asked to make
contributions.
Statistics that have been gathered
by the Oregon Social Hygiene society
and data furnished by DR.. Matson, of
Portland, who has been in service as a
surgeon in European hospitals, will be
prepared in pamphlet form and dis
tributed among the business men of
the city. The message will be carried
to the people by special speakers who
will appear at the picture shows.
The local Y. M. c. A. committee is
composed of Leslie Butler, Rev. Elijah
Hull Longbrake, d. G. Cruikshank,
John Baker and A. Garfield for the
city; and Rev. J. B. Lister, pastor of
the Valley Christian crhurch, and Rev.
w. H. Boldly, pastor of the Upper Val
ley Union church, for the valley.
At the Monday meeting it was
shown how President Wilson had COM
mended the work of the Y. M. C. A.
and had appealed for its support. 1t
was shown how the European countries
had realized the organizations work
and how $50 secretaries were there
now engaged in aiding the soldiers of
the great armies.
The United States will require to-
tai of So, 900, 900 in establishing the Y.
M. C. A. buildings. Already in Ore
gon and Idaho a total of more than
$50, 900 has been contributed.

Big RED CROSS
WAR FUND NEEDED

Emphasizing the need of the nation
for immediate Red Cross war funds,
C. N. Ravlin, secretary of the local
Red Cross Chapter, received the fol-
lowing telegram last Friday:
Secretary Hood River Red Cross
Chapter: The President has today ap-
pointed Red Cross War Council con-
sisting of Henry P. Davidson, of j. P.
Morgan & Co., chairman; Charles D.
Morton, G. P. Murphy, Cornelius N.
Bliss, Jr., and Edward N. Hurley,
with William H. TAFT, chairman, and
Eliot Wadsworth, vice chairman, of
the executive committee, ex-officio
members. The President today issued
the following statement
II have today created within the
Red Cross a War Council to which will
be entrusted the duty of responding to
the extraordinary demands which the
present war will make upon the SER
vices of the Red Cross, both in the
field and in civilian life. The best
way in which to impart the greatest
efficiency and energy to the relief
work which this war will entail, will
be to concentrate it in the hands of a
single experienced organization which
has been recogized by law and inter-
national convention as the public in
strumentality for such purposes. In
deed such a concentration of admins
trative action in this matter seems to
me absolutely necessary and hereby
earnestly call upon all those who can
contribute either great sums or small
to the alleviation of the suffering and
distress which must inevitably arise
out of this fight for humanity and
democracy to contribute to the Red
Cross. 1t will be one of the first and
most necessary tasks of the new War
Council of the Red Cross to raise great
sums Of money for the support of the

RED CROSS CALLS
HOOD RIVER WOMEN

The ladies of the city of Hood River
have apparently not given very serious
thought to the Red Cross work now in
progress here. The insistant, urgent
call from Washington headquarters is
for surgical dressings and hospital sup
plies. Hood River has been called
upon to furnish specified number of
boxes of these, as has every Red
Cross Chapter in the United States
1t is not possible to go out into the
market and buy the vast quantities of
these supplies that will be required, so
the government has called upon the
Red Cross to do this work through its
organized forces. 1t will devolve upon
the women of America to do this, and
the women of Hood River will be called
upon to do their share.
This is serious business, and it is
going to become more and more serious
as the weeks go by. This Red Cross
work is in its infancy so far as Amer
lea is concerned. When we have two
million American soldiers on the battle
line in Europe and other millions pre-
pairing, we are going to be called upon
for Red Cross support that we little
dream of now.
In this connection we quote herewith
from a statement just issued by the
Oakland Bank of Savings, one of the
biggest financial institutions on the
Pacific coast:
1.-The American people can make no
greatr error today than to underesti
mate the seriousness of the entry of the
United States into the war. There ap-
pears to be no justification for the hope
that the struggle will not be long and
bitter"
Every Wednesday and Saturday af-
ternon the Red Cross Chapter, through
its educational committee, invites the
ladies of the city of Hood River and
vicinity to meet in the Commercial
club auditorium for the purpose of
making the surgical dressings and hos
pital supplies. Last Saturday there
were 40 in attendance. OF these, SO
came from various parts of the valley,
and only seven from the city.
From 35 to so women attend the Red
Cross sewing at Pine Grove every
week. Twenty-Five at Dee. The White
Salmon branch promise to have over
$50 women busily engaged in the Red
Cross work.
We make most urgent appeal to
the women of Hood River to more gen.
erously respond with their assistance
in this work. 1t is greatly needed now
and its need is to be far greater in the
future. Most of us cannot go to the
front but we can "do our bit' by help
ing the Red Cross,
By order of the Executive Commit
tee, Hood River Red Cross Chapter.

work TO be done and done upon great
scale. | hope that the response to
their efforts will be demonstration of
the generosity of America and the
power of genuine practical sympathy
among our people. They will command
the admiration of the whole world"
In view of the above it is necessary
to modify the plan outlined in circular
A-29 for the use of the War Council.
The National Finance committee ap-
pointed by President Wilson, headed
by Cleveland Dodge and Seward Pros
ser, of New York, will raise a great
Red Cross war fund through our Chap
ters. Not moment must be lost in
preparing ourselves to meet the press
ing calls from Europe rand the emerg-
encies which are soon to confront us
here. Every Chapter should at once
mobilize and reinforce its finance COM
mittee for this work, which is of the
utmost Importance and urgency. Call
Immediately a meeting of your execu-
tive committee to make far reaching
plans for finance campaign, as we look
to you confidently for large results.
Please telegraph the names of men,
bers of your finance committe to Sew
ard Prosser, American Red Cross,
Washington. You will be promptly
and fully advised by Mr.. Prosser Pc
garding his plans and methods. The
War Council is organizing today. The
increasing need among our allies for
supplies that can be furnished quickly
only by purchase, as reported by Her.
bert Hoover, and the inevitable devel-
opments of some needssas we approach
mobilization of vast numbers of Amer
ican troops make it clear that to meet
the unprecedented situation the War
Council must ask that each Chapter re-
tain from the proceeds of the Red
Cross war fund campaign an amount
for local needssno in excess of rs per
cent of the total raised by it. Many
of our Chapters appreciating the situ-
alton will turn over the total amount
so raised to the Red Cross war fund.
The War Council, whenever possible
with advantage, will. authorize expend-
itures for specified supplies by the
Chapters in their own communities and
particularly for the purchase of mater
ials to be made by the Chapters into
these needed articles. The funds as
raised are to be deposited by each
Chapter in it's local bank in special
account to be known as the Red Cross
War Fund, to be remitted to National
headquarters as required. Later the
War Council will take full account of
the needs by Chapters for, local civilian
elief, which will become greater as
our own troops are mobilized.
Please at once call together your ex-
ecutive committee and telegraph me of
their cooperation in President Wilson's
far sighted plans for our Red Cross.
Give this message full publicity.
Eliot Wadsworth.
The telegram, the longest ever re-
ceived at the local Western Union
office, resulted in immediate action by
the local chapter to follow as closely
as nosSible IFS instructions
