~ EOPLE who get to feeling weak

ARREST MAN
WITH BOOZE

Sid Comegys of near Ontario was
arrested last week by Deputy Sheriff
Walbricht and Night Marshal Fenske
on charge of having Intoxicating
liquor in his possession contrary to
law. Comegys was seen diving up
and down street in manner that
caused a little suspicion on the part
of the officers who followed him
out of town and just before crossing
into Oregon the car was searched by
the officers who found two quarts
and a five gallon keg. Comegys was
brought back to Payette where he
gave cash bond of $4,000 and
was released from custody. The car
driven by Comegys a new Buick
was confiscated and is in the hands
of Sheriff Jefferis. We are informed
that a suit is instituted for the re-
covery of the car.

UNION PRAYER SERVICES.

The Church is called to observe
the work of Prayer under conditions
which make its observance more nec-
essary and opportune than ever.
The outstanding issues of the pres
ent world upheaval are moral and
spiritual. The laws of man and the
laws of God are being disregarded,
while organized evil seeks the des,
truction of the human and divine in.
stitutions which upheld them.
A decisive moral conflict is in
evitable This is an hour of un>
paraielled opportunity and responsi>
bility to the church of God.
Christianity alone has the message
and dynamic for the time. Christ
must be exalted. His principles must
he fearlessly proclaimed and applied.
His spirit of love and of power must
dominate His church.
The resources Of God must be re-
leased in all the world thru pre-
vailing prayer and sacrificial SER
vice. Nothing else will suffice.
Therefore, The Churches of Pay.
cite are uniting their forces for a
series of three services of Prayer to
be held as follows:
Monday evening. Jan. 5, service at
the Christian Church. Subject: Con
secration of the Community Life.
Tuesday evening, Jan. 6, services
at the Evangelical Church. Subject:
"The Conservation of Home Life
Wednesday evening, January z,
services at the Church of God. Sub
ject: The Conservation of the Indi
vidual.
1t is to be noted that each of these
three meetings are union services of
Prayer.

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

Next week is to be kept as week
of Prayer" by practically all the
Churches of our Country. We will
be Joined with the other churches of
town in union services, from Monday
night on But the burden of anxiety
that rests on the world and our coun
try does not warrant any delay in
the matter of intercession. Henry
Watterson the veteran editor of the
"Louisville-Courier-Journal", in a
recent address made this utterance,
"In the religion of Jesus Christ lies
the only path out of our welter With
out it Democracy is an empty word. :"
Alexander p Moore, owner and edl>
tor of 1.-The Pittsburg Leader, put
the same truth in these words; With
out Divine intervention the world
and its people will plunge into chaos
The people of America must go down
on their Knees and ask for divine
aid. In prayer alone hope exists"
Our Presbyterian "New-Bra" CON-
mittee has suggested as topics for
the weeks meditation, "The Church
Awakened-By her opportunities;
By an appreciation of her power; BY
Knowledge of the world need; Etc.
The sermon theme for next Sun
day morning will be the first of the
above 1.-THE Church awakened To
Her Opportunity"

HARRY KENT RETURNS salts
FLED WITH PAYETTE AND
THE WEST

Mr. Harry Kent returned from his
eastern trip in time to be home Christ
mas, leaving Mrs. Kent to continue
her visit until spring. Mr.. and Mrs.
Kent left Payette about month
ago, going from here to Grant Falls
New Brunswick, Canada, where Mrs.
Kent has a sister living whom she
had not seen for 26 years. After
spending two weeks at Grant Falls
they went on to Van Buren, and st.
Francis, Maine, where Mrs. Kent
has other relatives; then to Chicago
where Mr.. Kent was born and raised
and where several brothers and SIS
ters now live. This was Mr.. Kent's
first visit to the place of his boy
hood days in "a years. 1t is needless
to say that many changes were not
iceable both in the great city and
the faces of the people whom he
knew years ago. Mr.. Kent says that
while in the east he saw at several
places, apples from the Northwest
that were so far superior to any
thing grown in the east that there
was no comparison. They were SELL
ing for ten cents each and not go
ing begging at that. Mr.. Kent WAS
glad to get back to Payette and has
no hesitancy in saying the east has
no attraction for him whether as a
place to live or to make money.
