Quite a gain in attendance marked the special services In Central Church last evening. The illustrated sermon on "The Five Kingdoms" was very tercstlng and was well received. Each person could readily locate himself as to where he Is living and also answer In the light of the Scriptures where he will go at the close of this life, pro vided he makes no change In manner of living. "The wages of sin Is death, but the free gift of God Is eternal life In Jesus Christ, our Lord." Those who are accountable for their choice and neither Infants nor Insane persons are either in the kingdom or sin or in Christ's kingdom. The kingdom of sin opens Into eternal punishment.

MS II DEBATES Pendleton high school debaters are waiting with anxious Interest to learn who Is to be their opponent in the second series of contests for the 20, 1800. championship of Oregon. Jn a com munication with J, A. Churchill, man ager of the eastern Oregon district, yuhterday, Superintendent J. S. Lan dert, of the executive committee of the state league, learned that the team Pendleton would meet next would be determined by tne outcome of a contest now before Secretary Edgar E, DeCou, bet wen the Sherman county high school and Prlneville, says the Pendleton Tribune. There seems to be an effort to dis qualify one or both of these schools, Prlneville and Sherman county high. It is a generally recopnized truth that mediencs made from vegetablr ingredients are a great deal better adapted to the delicate human system, ani Safer in every way, than those composed of. strong imineral mixtures ano compounds.
