(By Revival Editor)
As a leature of the Lowry re
vival campaign, a goodly number
of Christian people gathered at the
M. IS. Church last night for a
watchnight service, led by the
evangelist and his musical assist
ants There was at least one pub
lic gathering in Roseburg to watch
the old year out in the spirit of
prayer. The meeting was of a
deeply spiritual character and Dr.
Lowry delivered a masterly and
searching sermon on the 'Tower
and Importance of Prayer. Ser
vices are to be resumed tonight
at the armory and continue there
every night, except Mondays. Some
interest has been aroused by Dr.
Lowry's announcement that on Sat
urday night he will read the scrip
ture and take his text from the
Catholic Dible.
Last night the scripture pass
ages used as a basis for the sermon
are those found in the eleventh and
d-htuontli chanters of Luke, first
the importunate friend who came
at mldlnight to borrow bread
(I uke 11:5-8) and secondly, the
Importunate widow who came seek
ing justice from the unjust judge
(Lu 18-1-8). Attention was espe
cially directed to these words from
the eleventh chapter: "And he said
unto them, which of you shall have
a friend, nnd shall go unto him
at midnight, and say unto him.
Friend, lend me three loaves; for
a friend of mine in his journey
A come to me. and I have nothing
to set before him? And he from
within shall answer and say.
Trouble mo not: the door is now
h.n and niv children are with
me In bed; 1 cannot rise and give
thee 1 say unto you. i huhk"
will not rise and give hiin because
he is his friend, yet because
of his importunity he will rise and
give him as many as lie needetn.
"Please note the application that
Jesus makes here," said the ; evan
iio. 'i snv unto you, thougn
h,- will not rise and give because
he Is his friend, yet because of i s
importunity he will rise and gne
J, ,miv as he needs. N
him ns many
that Christ gives
lice in - .
there. And
I say umu
ho elven you I see
nnd It shall
knock, and'lt
1 nl.nll ruin
shall be opened unto you.' As
some one has said, there a "me.,
when it is necessary for us to seek,
and other limes when it Is neces
sary for us to come like the man
asking the loaves -knocking. It Mb
necessary for us to take ad van
age of tdim importunate prayer,
that we may get into the attitude
and position and condition of lieait
S ,d mind before Cud that we may
be able to receive the blessing,
even receive the thing we aie
seeking, because if Cod would bless
us promiscuously, just in answer
to our off-hand petitions, many ol
v..i..a wnulil turn out to be
in- Lovvrv then refer- I
red to the parable of the unjust
judge in the eighteenth chuptei of
Luke Hear what the unjust judge
said ' 'Yet because this widow
troubleth me. I will avenge her
lest by her continual coming she
weary me.'
"1 would like to talk to you
upon the subject of prayer and Its
importance, and if 1 were to taki
a text, it would he Colossians 4:2.
Continue in prayer and watch in
the same with thanksgiving. in
the revised version it read, 'Con
.i ia.,.ifniitiv In niaver. watch
ing therein with thanksgiving
.i in.ive ihe devil ever
I
won
a greater victory over any church
or body of Cod's people tW.n when
he led them to substitute machin
ery and organization for prayer
and power of the Holy Spirit. Wit"
all due regard to your feelings in
this matter, 1 want to say that I
am sure that a return to the faltn
and praver of fifty yeais ago
would do more to fill our churches
and Increase their membership
than all the reading ruonis, play
rooms, gvmnaslunis, social settle
ments and whatnot, that the
money of the rich can furnish.
The church In this day Is all the
time looking for better methods.
Cod Is looking for better men.
What the church needs today Is
not more machinery or oeui i. inn
men whom the Holy Ohost can use
men of prayer. The Holy Spirit
does not flow through plans or
machinery, but through im-ii. 1'n.y
er will do more to bring a revival
In Koseburg than preaching or
anything else. ()n of the strong
est statements along this line
that I have run across recently is
by the late Dr. K. M. Hounds In
a little book entitled, 'Preacher
and Prnver.' We are constantly on
a stretch to advance new plans,
new organizations. This trend of
the dav has a tendency to lose
-ii-lit of man. or sink the mnn in
the plan of organization. This in-J
eludes the woman. Cod's plan is
to make much of men. far more of
him than anything else. Men are
God's method. What the church
needs is not more machinery or
new organizations, or novel meth
ods, but men whom the Holy
Ghost can use."
' "First of all prayer is import
ant because Cod has commanded
that we he men and women of
prayer. Prayer is important be
cause there is a devil. Of course
I know it isn't very popular in
these days of cults and isms to
EX-AMBASSADOR
TO FRANCE DIES
U " s 1
HUGH
WALLACE
(Associated PrM Leased Wirei
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1 Hugh
Campbell Wallace, 67. former am
bassador to France, died today. He
was a native of Taconia, Wash.
Active in councils of the demo
cratic party for many years, Hugh
Campbell Wallace was said to have
entered politics merely for the
pleasure he derived from it. He
never sought public office and
although nominations as governor
and United States senator were,
freouently offered to him, he con
sistently refused to run for office.
His public service consisted of two
years as receiver of public moneys
of Utah, to which he was appoint
ed by President Cleveland, and as
United States ambassador to
France from 1919 to 1921, to which
post he was named by President
Wilson.
During the rush to the Klondike
gold fields in 1S97 Mr. Wallace or
ganized the Washington and Alas
ka Steamship company. Later with
his brother he organized the Fidel
ity Trust company of Taconia.
which was consolidated with the
Hank of California in 1919.
Jnnuary 5, 1S91, Mr. Wallace
married Mlldren Fuller, daughter
of Melville W. Fuller, late chief
justice of the United States.
believe In a personal devil, but
as for myself I am just old-fashioned
enough to believe the Ilible,
and the Ilible tells me that there is
a personal devil. The reason v-hy
so many are making an absolute
failure of their Christian lives in
these days is because they do not
lake this fact into account. Paul
said. 'Put on the whole armor of
Cod. that ye mny be nble to stand
against the wiles of the devil. For
our wrestling is not against flesh
and blood, hut against the princi
palities, against the world rulers
of this darkness, against spiritual
hosts of wickedness in heavenly
places.' Our greatest enemies are
not those wo see walking around
in flesh and blood but this host of
devils or demons that surround us
in the air."
"Talking about plain preaching.
I would like to know where you
would find any plainer preaching
than in the Hlhle. How many
times John calls people liars!"
"Another reason why prayer is
important is because that is Cod's
appointed way and method for
blessing his people. If you will
turn to the thirty-sixth chapter of
Ezekiel and read the first thirty
six verses, you will find many
promises given to the people of
Israel, and then in the thirty
seventh verse you will read. 'Tims
salth the Lord Cod: I will yet for
this be enquired of by the house
of Israel, to do it for them.' He
said, 'If they are going to obtain
these blessings they will have to
ask for them'."
"Prnyer is Important because
there is no other way by which you
can so effectively advance the
cause of Jesus Christ In the eartll
The men nnd women who have left
the deepest impression on this sin
cursed eartll have been men and
women of prayer. The most pow
erful people In our churches today
are the men and women who pray.
They may not he those who at
tract most attention. They may
be very plainly dressed, a very
humble folk, hut they are making
It possible for Cod to do for this
old world of sin whnt He could
not otherwise do. If we trust to
our sermons, we will get what our
sermons can do. If we trust to
our money, we will get what our
money can do. If we trust to our
fine churches and equipment, we
will get what our machinery can
do. Put If we pray and trust Go:l.
our blessing will be limited only
by what He is able to do."

highway commission, outlined the
work the commission hopes to com
plete in Ills statement fol
lows :
"The program of the Oregon
state highway commission for 11)31
will bring to completion several
links in the system that will he
of great interest to the motorist.
Since the commercial use of the
roads is rapidly Increasing year by
year, the economic value of these
connecting links will he apprecia
bly felt.
"The grading of the Roosevelt
Coast highway will be completed
and the major portion of the yet
unsurtaced section appreciably re:
d,uced.
"The Rogue river bridge at Cold
Peach will be in use by the end of
the year.
"Over the same river at Grants
Pass a new structure wilt replace
an obsolete one.
,"The Mltchell-llayvllle section o(
the Ochoco highway will be open
to through travel.
"The McKenzie highway will be
completed.
"Work will be continued on ex
isting projects In all sections of
the state.
"The betterment program will
be continued we trust In large vol
ume. There can lie no such thing
as completion of the highway pio
gram in Oregon, lloads built in the
early days now need modernizing.
Volume, tvpe and speed of lnoto:'
vehicles have set a new standard
of construction.
"To modernize a highway such
as the Pacific, one of the first built,
will easily cost more than its oil
