Sn Such jn Jfour Rrpnnted by permission from a booklet published by Dr. Elwood P. Lyon Matt. 24:44 All is quiet in the village; only here and there a light Climmers in some bedroom window at this hour of the night. Tired with toil and drunk with pleasure, have the people gone to rest, iittle dreaming they at even when the sun sank in the west lhat the day of Christ's appearing, heralded in all the land, Day. of days so full of meaning, was at last so near at hand. As on other days the children all have been to school today, On the village green their voices have been heard tonight at play. and stores have all been open, each official in his place, Trora; tfte factory by the river, signs of toil on every face, Pii' the workmen go to supper; and it was the usual tale, Tillage gossip, jokes and laughter, at the hour of evening mail. Some at home with wife and children whiled away the passing hours; Others spent their time and money, sacrificed their manly powers At -thej bar-room; while the play-nouse had Its usual crowd to-night, Worldly minded pleasure seekers, loving darkness more than light, Sought their asual amusements, tried to hush the voice within That seeimd ever to remind them of the foolishness of sin. i Therae was service at the chapel, and the faithful few were there, ImUIs thinking that are morning at a meeting in the air, At the samts of all the ages would be gathered with the Lord, Little thinking as thty worshipped just a few with sweet accord, Sang the usual songs together, prayed and talked and read the Word, That with;n a few short hours Christ's own voice would then be heard. And' as they lingered after service at the chapel door to talk Xw.t as usual, little thinking when they parted down the walk That they ne'er again would worship at the chapel on the hill. Row-no footstep breaks the silence; in the graveyard all is still, Signing- place of many a pilgrim, where from out the silent dust Soon shall be a resurrection, resurrection of the just. i They whose tears fell on a casket only just the other day. Bid not know, heart-broken parents, when tonight they knelt to pray, That ere morning they would meet her, who was torn from home and heart, -2eet their loved one made immortal, never more again to part; And the fevered patient lying sleepless on a bed of pain, H'ill ere morning leave the sick-room, never to be sick again. 3e who crushed the poor and needy, turned the widow from his door, itpent the evening with his papers, never thinking that before Sany hours his gold would fail him, and the poorest man on earth fc'ho was ready for the coming of the Master would be worth Jiore than he who had his millions in this world, ill-gotten pelf, Sore thau he who lived a life-time all for pleasure, all for self. Ee who scoffed at inspiration, ridiculed the Word of God, "Would not travel in the pathway that the dear old mother trod, Said things always would continue as they were, in mocking tone, asver spoke of Christ's appearing, and with careless hand has sown Seeds of doubt in all the village, sleeps tonight to waken when Such as he will see how vain is the philosophy of men. Ke who long has heard the' story of salvation full and free, long has heard, but long rejected, when he wakes will wake to see Iter the woman of his choice, Christian wife of many years, Vho Is sleeping now beside him, caught away when Christ appears; Caught away to be forever with the Lord, while he shall call terror stricken, for the mountains and the rocks on him to fall. Be who but tonight was thinking of the Christ who died for men, Thinking that he might accept him at some future season when was more convenient for him, would "be saved but not tonight" ill awake to disappointment; while a neighbor robed in white Hill soon sing the song of triumph, who tonight was saved from sin, H'ho tonight accepted Jesus, let the Holy Spirit in. In one bed two brothers sleeping side by side will soon awake At the sounding of the trumpet, when the hour has come to take toe away and leave the other. To another bedroom, where Beeps the mother with her baby, angels soon will come to bear he away and leave the other. In the village thus they sleep Some to wake and rise rejoicing, some to wake, but wake to weep. Row the hands upon the clock-face of the village school-house tower, Close together pointing upward indicate the midnight hour. Sow the clock begins to strike; suddenly it comes at last; Shout of Christ, archangel's voice, and the trump's awakening blast. Listen! It is an hour when the world is not aware Christ is coming. Are you ready for the meeting in the air? The appropriations that will be made In later years will be much larger, will be made more willingly, and will of course bring greater re sults. The facts are, that other stales and countries, notably California and Swttierland, have capitalized and sold their scenery for millions of dollars annually, while Oregon has been busy with various Indus tries and overlooked the opportun ities offered, In this respect. As a companion measure, which is necessary In the cnpHallr.atlon of the scenery of the state is the good! roads measure. ALWAYS TO THE FRONT The snow storm of this week is just what the farmers and stockmen ; of this part of the state have been ! wishing for. ! High prices for all kinds of prod-' ucts make them happy, hut mols-j ture is necessary for the production j of crops and the precipitation has, been light this winter, up to the' current storm. They are all happy now. i I NEWS FROM THE SCHOOLS f Mr. Raughman dismissed the high. school last Wednesday morning ow-j ing to the fact that a large number ' of students were absent. School was also dismissed Monday morn-; ing for the same reason, after Ir. ' Lyon's address, for a period of onel week. It is hoped that at the end of another week a much larger per centage of our students will be able' to return to school. I Dr. Lyon's address at the high school assembly, which was filled with others than the student body, was one of remarkable ability and interest. His subject was "Some of the problems forming the back ground of the present war." We; make no attempt to give a resume , of the facts as he presented them,, but suffice it to say that he spoke from first hand knowledge and we 8 CO r Use hotter Moun Our claim to superior quality is based on fact.
