THE PRINEVILLE SPIRIT Every town, community or local ity has an individuality, or a "spirit" which is as distinct as that of diff erent inividuals. To illustrate, we have the Seattle spirit, the Portland spirit, and the Bend spirit, and when each of these are mentioned we recall at once the individual characteristics which are most prominent in these towns. -'Then there is the Prineville spirit. Frineville like many other townsand Individuals too, has some features that, are not as thev should be, and n these points we all agree. On the other hand however, there Is a Prineville spirit that is com mendable, and about this we call jour attention now. Prineville' stands for much in the Rev. Newham's Sermon on Infant Baptism "It is not ours to dogmatic and then to condemn to outer darkness, all those whose opinion is different from our -own," said Rev. Newham at the Methodist church. "As Chris tians, it is our duty to seek to dis cover and appropriate every means of grace that will develope the spirit within us, for whatever out ward forms might be observed, 'If any man have not the spirit of Ch.-uthe is none of His.'Metho Iism along with the vast majority of Christendom from the times of the New Testament writers until now, has claimed Infant Baptism as an institution of great spiritual value to the followers" of Christ. As we are sometimes asked to give the rea son for this historic practice of t'te Christian church, it is well for us to consider authority and signifi cance of Infant Baptism. At the outset it misrht be said that there is no single direct statement in Scripture that demands it." "Where then is our authority? Well, we do not look for precise I Scriptural statements on everything that comes under human notice. Tv.iv of education. We have, as has been said, one of the very best high J Some of the most important obser sehools in the state. It is becoming vances of Christian.ty have no di strongef and better each year, and j rect authority in Scripture. For in ;a alrpartv drawing students from stowe, it is nowhere stated in the all parts of Central Oregon, who re cognize it to be a school of educa tional merit. The Prineville public schools like wise are far above the average in efficiency. Under the present ad ministration they show a marked improvement this year over last.we are told. In all of these things. Prineville has an honest pride. f cw ii .-ii.im ,-ti iimn.ri.r-irrw.-- fc.U Also excellent lor grown-ups Mon7 Back If not Satirist D. P. Adamson & Co. Bible that the first day of the week should be recognized as the Sabbath. Still we would not think of killing the spirit for the sake of the letter Again there is no positive precept in the Bible to the effect that wo men should be partakers of the Lord's Supper, and yet there are such facts stated and such principles inculcated, as to leave no doubt in the reasoning mind that the practice of admitting them is lawful." "So in regard to the Baptism of : Infants. If we have truths and con ditions that lead us to inevitable education, such conclusions are as obilgatory as those that are express ei by direct positive statement. In Luke 18. 15-17 is found the follow ing: They brought unto Him also their babes that He shoud touch them but when His disciples saw it they rebuiied, but Jesus called them 'unto Him, saying; "Suffer the little .children to come unto mi; and for 1 bid them not for such is the King- dom of God. Verily I say unto you whosoever shall not receive the Kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein." (R. V.) If they are members of Christ's kingdom, why should they not re ceive the token of recognition as such, which is the only rite adapt ed to their condition in life, Christian baptism? But some might say, that infants cannot meet the claims of the Chris tian life. As they grow older they may do wrong. But is not that pos sibility of sin applicable to older candidates, and are not these claims intended fo cover the whole of life? A young man may be baptised, then grow spiritually indifferent and sin ful. He may then turn back on his sins and return to God. But he is not re-baptisod. Infant baptism does not hinder from any service that God may require. The only choice wo may have is about things that do not matter. Parents who will hesitate on these grounds never hesitate to instruct their children in their own beliefs and to persuade them as to the form of baptism and a hundred other things, which they instill into the child's mind whether it will or no. And they have a right and a duty to instruct their child until it is of age to decide what is right and what is wrong for itself. It is beautiful to see adults seek ing baptism and thus consecrating themselves to a holy life. It is more beautiful to see Christian parents consecrating their babes to Christ and resolving to train them andedu cate them so that they shall never 20 outside of His Kingdom. The thought of such parental devotion, in which they assume to do their utmost for the spiritual well being for the child should instigate one tremendously to seek to fulfill such hopes and answer such prayers as far as in one lies, and to seek to fulfill all the sacred obligations that baptism implies. Before starting his sermon, Rev Newham stated that it was not his wish to antagonize those of different beliefs, but rather to set' fourth the doctrines of his church. , For, new and old stomach trouble ue Adamson's Digest eze.

' Tum-a-Lump ALL IS NOT "TUM-A-LUMP" THAT SPLINTERS We know from personal experience the sort of wood that we wanted to have for burning, and that has been our standard in selecting the. sort we secured for our cus tomers; not a bad idea when you think it over. In the first place we believe in DRY WOOD-'Tum-A-Lump." And wood doesn't dry over night, so we se cured sufficient of a stock to enable us to keep it on hand for months in advance of the demand and let it thorough ly dry. Next we wanted cheap wood "Tum-A-Lump." Sowe, secured the parts of the log that ,were not capable of be ing put to Vtter advantage through cutting into market able lumber. This meant using the sides of the lumber or "slabs." But in cutting up the log from which the slabs come, there are a nice lot of edgings and trimmings made which added to the slabs, gives you both large and small wood to pick from. The heavy pieces, stick,, and slab, are firm and heavy, and will retain fire splendidly, and give forth every bit of heat which the suns of many summers have stored up in them. The lighter pieces and odds and ends of mill wood will be found especially-fine for kindling and short, hot, quick fires. In a word, the best thing we can say for our "Tum-A-Lump" is that it is just the sort we want for ourselves and we are pretty hard to please. And the harder you are to please the better this wood will please'you.
