British inspiration. British labor
leaders saw the tremendous advan-

Americans to know that the Seamen's

not revolutionary; because 1t does

Grave Troubles Ahead.
That grave troubles were inn
pending in India. everyone who had
personal knowledge of the forces at
work was well aware: but no one
could predict when or where out

evitably created a vague feeling of
unrest in the minds of the excitable
n d extraordinarily credulous
masses. the vast majority not un-
derstanding to this day what has
happened. In the bazaars and viii
lagos it was probably believed that
some great change of rulers was at
hand. and such changes are deeply
| imbedded in the old traditions of
India.
The public at home, ilI-informed
and pre-occupied. was deeply i'm
pressed with the gallant deeds Of
our Indian soldier on many fields.
with the generous contributions OF
princes and chiefs to war funds, and
with protestations of loyalty which
are accepted without discrimination.

causes for anxiety, and never was
the need for wise and steady gov

We at once recognize the person OF
the vision to be Jesus Christ, the ris-
en- and glorified redeemer and the last
verse of the chapter declared the
candlesticks to be the churches. Now
what have we? Jesus. our ascended
Lord. walking in the midst of the
churches as in close observation and
judgment of them. In our day, it is
very popular to criticise the church.
The atheist. the socialist, the socialist,
the anarchist. the politician and more

into judgment.
We are fully aware that the church
has her faults and that she will be
brought into Judgment but / fear il
she were to heed all that is being said
to her in these days her last days
would be worst than the first. What
the church needs to realize is that

Let her look to Him. He is ever walk

too. He knows her faults. She has
lost her first love--she is consortins

OTHER SHEEP / HAVE
BY THE REV. w. II. cox,
Pastor First Baptfst Church.

Pastor First Baptist Church.
HERE are two kinds of sheep, the
eastern sheep which follows the
call of the shepherd.
Then again our western sheep which
have to be driven.
We as Gods children, would have
a far better time if we belong TO the
first.
Then in the oncoming possible rush
of teeming millions from Europe are
other sheep and If they come we
must in the Masters interest, be on
our job of bringing them into the fold
that there may be one Shepherd and
one fold.
Sheep are perhaps the least vicious
of all animals; their wool is so much
in demand for our clothing; their
bodies for food. c2l +f gt-
So we Christians. if true to the
teaching and leading of our Lord,
must be ready today Gown our lives
for the brethren.zf
DR.. Chapman asked General Booth
the secret of success in reaching the
other sheep. to which the general
replied: asr
! God has had all of me; God has all
the alteration of my life; God has all
my will; so when he and we are in the
hands of God, willing to do all His
bidding shall rise to the place of di-
vine usefulness here.

FROM THE PEOPLE
PUBLICITY IS APPRECIATED.

Pendleton, Ore, Feb, 21, 1919.
Editor of East Oregonian:
At meeting of the Road Bonds
Executive Committee with Assessor
IC. p. Strain, executive secretary and
campaign manager, yesterday after
noon, the members were very much
gratified to learn of the hearty sup
port and cooperation given by the
press of the county and asked that
their appreciation be expressed in a
letter to you. The supplement being
published by each paper. they believe.
will be a big factor in developing sem
timent for the road bond measure.
While saying, ''Well done, good and
faithful citizen" for the efforts you
have already put forth in behalf of the
highway program, the committee is
lcountins upon you to assist in n sue
cessful completion of the campaign
land in urging the voters to turn out
ION election day. The chief danger
now, as the committee and campaign
manager see it, is in overconfidence,
for to date no organized or positive
deposition has developed in any part
! of the county.
! The merchants of Echo, co-aperat-
ling with the News have adopted a very
effective way of impressing upon the
people of that community the inn
Iportance and significance of the oc-
casion. Each advertiser is devating
his space in the paper in the inter-
vening issues to a plea in support of
the bond measure and it has been
suggested that the merchants of other
towns would be glad to contribute in
like manner to the success of the cam
paign. Will you not give this sug-
gestion due consideration and, if prac-
ticabIe, lend your assistance. The
Commercial Association of your city
and your representative on the execu-
tive committee have been asked to CO.
operate.
Thanking YOU again for Your very
material assistance and trusting we
may all have occasion for rejoicing on
March 4tn upon the advent Of a new
era of highWa& bnilding. M
Very sincerely Yours,

VI act is now an accom-
plished fact. In conse-
Qnence the state will soon have
ten million available for road
work. In fact it will have
more than that sum because
there are other sources of reve-
nne aside from the state bonds.
Z Umatilla county is in line to
profit heavily by state aid. The
road from the Morrow county
line, west of Umatilla to PEN
dleton is designated as part of
the Pacific highway. The road
from Pendleton to Kamela is a
link in the cross state highway. :.
The road from Pendleton to
the Washington line is a link
in the Oregon Washington
highway. These roads are
scheduled for improvement if
the county will do its share by
preparing the grades and
bridges, the state doing the sur
facing.
We are assured of immediate
state aid to the extent of
S576, 900 on these trunk roads
if our bond issue is voted March
A. We are led to hope that we
will get much more than that
within a year or two. There is
for instance near promise for
the paving of the road between
Echo and Pendleton in couple
of years time.
