L Evangelist Smith Delivers An other Ab!e Sermon. , NOT ONE WORD OF ABUSE Noted Evangelist Refrains From Abusing Those Who Differ In Relief Several People Accept Clirist. (Contributed.) It was not only complimentary to the evangelists, but . indicative of deepest Interest, that in spite of the early hour and the prospective Opto. Read treat an hour later, that the preacher faced the largest crowd that has gathered on a week-night since the revival began. Mr. Smith was at his best. A speaker of less exper ience would have been embarrased 'but not he. He knows how to condense. There can be no controversy as to his marksmanship. Very little ammu nition wasted over there. Men have to dodge like a jack-snipe if they are not hit. Some of them act as if they had been under fire before. No body knows It better than the evan gelist, and he is exceedingly skill ful In the exposure of spiritual anJ psycological subterfuges. It is not complimentary, to the intellectupllty and modernism of the absent easi ness and professional men of Hose burg that they are not anvious to hear the discussion of a great theme at the hands of a specialist of al most international renown. The egotism, bigotry and ignor ance of so-called leading citizens who never darken a church door, is sim ply incredible and Intolerable. Some of us who would eagerly lis ten to the advocates of alien faiths if we had the opportunity, would like to have the men of Koseburg who have not been In attendance as yet, make a point to hear Charles Cullen Smith t-peak to men only on Sunday night at the Presbyterian church. There has not been a word of abuse in any meeting. Bo it ac knowledged, 'that steel-pointed ar rows have been flying thick and fast, but couched in the language of gen tility and modulated by the spirit of compassionate love. Men, let us give the evangelist a great hearing. He is here on a beneficent mission. He has all sorts of equipment for the business. If an expert electric ian, politician, orehardist or other wise came to town the religionists of the city would like to hear his preachment. Why not while away one hour on Sunday evening listen ing to the deliverance of a highly qualified man taken from the high ways of a continent, with the greatest message that ever occupied the at tention of mortals. Tonight the subject will be "The cost of not being a Christian". It will be as interesting to young peo ple as to those who are older. Some of the finest music "up-to-date" will he enjoyed. The service will be fol lowed with a very important confer ence of all the teachers and officers of the five Sunday schools. All such should be present without fail. Great pi:: ns are being made for the special Sunday service. The five churches will liold their regular morning meetings as usual, but at 9:30 a. m. at the Presbyterian church will lie held a great union ralley of the five Sunday schools, the little tots under ten. meeting at the: Baptist church. The ralley will close at 10:45 a. m. In time for the rrtilar church services. A union meeting for all will he held at the Presbyterian church at 3 p. m. Sunday. Evangelist Smith will speak upon the "The Greatest Ques tion" and have something to say regarding "Popular Amusements." j Plan to attend. j A women's meeting will occur at the Methodist church i north) at r : 4 5 p. m. led by Smith and Roper, subject "Gifts". At 7 : -i 5 p. m.. a maps meeting for men will he held at the Presbyterian church when Mr. Smith will te the thrilling story of the rescue of "Win" McCIure the railway engineer. (DXPKMX ITIOV SI'IT , 'h l In The Circuit Court Thl Afternoon. The state of Oregon, through its fh.ft und game commission. today Instituted condemnation proredlngs In the circuit court. In which they seek to acquire land, water, rights-of-way and water rights, at present held by Edward, Joseph and Eva Lasina and (Jeorce Kohlhagen.

The treusurey department having dec hi ed that a hen la not a bird bird eggs being admitted free of duty and lien's eggs having to pay flvo cents a dozen It Is now up to tho post office department to settle a mom onions question arising from the ownership of eggs laid In the mat la, Tho National Association of Poul try Breeders, anticipating tho pass age of the parcels post bill recently inquired of Postmaster General plltcheock if poultry might be Bent through the mail. In an unofficial statement the department answered that, should the parcels post meas ure bo enacted, thero would prob ably be no objection to shipping the fowls, stamped. The postmaster general, however, was of tho opinion that some one would have to he dele gated to look out for tho well being of tho "perishable mull" and then some one raised the, question of the ownership of tho eggs luld by the hens while In Undo Sam's care. Would they belong to the Bender of the hens; to the receiver ot the hens: or to the government? There not being nny legislation nl- ready enacted upon tho subject, the Postmaster General delegated Jesse Suter. chief of the bureau of Infor mation of the postofflco department to look Into the matter. Jesse, after several days spent In a vain search through dusty tomes on postal laws and regulations, has about decided to give up tho job, for he says there are no precedents. Therefore It will be up to the courts to decide the ownership of any offspring of the fowls. Like the freight agent In Ellis Parker Butler's "Pig Is Pigs", Suter thinks the eggs ought either to be given lo the mall clerks or be confis cated by the government as an aid In furl her decreasing the deficit which Is tho bug-bear of the depart ment.
