closing hours of this repenting theft,
hanging on a cross near to the suffer-

est faith in the power and purpose OF
Jesus of Nazreth. He saw clearly his

He believed in the coming Kingdom
and the power of the King even if that

that is is easieffto save a thief than

MR.. LONcWORTH PROVES
THE CASE.

ne RESIDENT WILSON'S ap-
D peal last October for the
election of Democratic
congress rested on the belief
that Republican leadership
was committed to obstruction.
Except by extreme partisans,
criticism of his address was
based on the opinion that, adj
rnitfing its truth, he was not
the man to have made it.
To say nothing of the capti-
Gus uproar which greeted the
League of Nations covenant,
the filibuster in the late com
gress which defeated many of
the great money bills, and the
studied efforts to discredit the
president abroad, all of which
show reactionary Republican
partyism precisely as Mr.. Viii
son characterized it, we now
have even more convincing evil
dence from Republican wit
ness who cannot be impeached.
1T is no Democrat who says
that the net result of the orga-
nization of the new house OF
representatives by James K.
Mann 'is to place at the head
Of some of the leading COM
rnittees men who, judged. by

Our Responsibility for Our
Growth
BY THE REV. W. H. cox.

Pastor First Baptist Church.
IA love TO ponder over4the love of this
aged Apostle toward his young
son in the Gospel, having been
honored or God to bring this young
man to the place of repentance and
faith in Jesus as his own savior. then
leading him to the place of service.
He reminds him of his Cody faith
full grandmother and his mother.
What legacy these Christian wo-
men had left to this boy. breeding and
blood always manifest themselves,
care not how much luxury a man may
have around him that has no back
ing in his forefathers his coarseness
will despite himself, keep cropping
out. II
And so with a man that is not born
of the spirit of God he cannot hide
from view the worldliness in his con-
duct. But one that has a backing of
Christian parents and grandparents,
and great grandparents, and has given
himself to the Lord has in him that
training that puts its stamp on him
and the owner of God. ftl3 glf
So Paul did not seek to give this
boy new teaching but just asked him
and thus to grow and develop in
things concerning the church. Growth
in the Christian life depends just as
much on the food and spiritual n.y.
giene and exercise ana oxygen. as
does the physical body depend on
such things for the body.
From a youth thou hast known the
scriptures: what a challenge to young
America today. OF how many young
men in Pendleton can this be truth
fully said?
Now IL we parents are not SO teach
ing our children we are not playing
true to the trust God has goven US.
and the sooner We recognize the fact
that children are God-giyen and are
no mistakes the better it will be Tor
all concerned. Now I would further
draw your attention to the fact that a
Christ1ess world will not be
the most desirable place for our pos
terity to live in and it is up to we peo-
ple today to so live that we may leave
this world more like Christ because
