TUe i'astor claimed that tba impul

from looking for tbe trutb wblcb tbey

abould we seurcb for Trutb to various

very spirit of God's Law of righteous
ness; that in mean ways they took tbe
brend from the poor, and to divert at
tenUuo from tbelr course tbey bypo
critically lengthened tbelr prayers.
It was not that praying was wrong,
or that tithing wns objectionable, but
their recognition of these showed them
all the more responsible In "devouring
widows' houses." and other sharp prac
tises, whereby they took advantage of
the unfortuniite. This principle still
operates, said I'astor Russell.
Today, ns in nr Master's time, there
is a way of keeping within tbe .law
and out of the (leuilentiary. while at
tbe same time the spirit of tbe law Is

of guilt In tbe same kind of aln. For

Mankind have Inherited sln-taiuted

race. Many bare not tbe proper focus
upon tbe Divine Law. Taking tbe let
ter of that Law. they avoid the cruder
forms of theft, adultery, murder mak
tig tbe same mistake that Israel made.
According to Jesus' Interpretation of
the Law. theft could be committed In
the heart by coveting, by stealing the
business or reputation of another. 81m.
Ilnrly, adultery might be committed
without overt act; and hatred is murder

FANS ELDflT OVER M Sli
BV LOCAL SQUAD III WORKOUT
La Grande fans got a splendid, per
spective of the team that la to rep
resent the city in the Western Trl
State league, when, yesterday after
noon, about 200 loyal fans saw what
was termed - the Regulars swamped
the Yannigana In seven innings. It
was no tryout day for the pitchers
and the mound-generals went tJ tbe
hill with Instructions "o vary the
speed only but keep everything off,
and they did. and the only cnance tc
size up the pitching staff, was Just to
see how they walked out to the moun
tain. Some of those most highly tout
ed didn't even venture tho trip at
all but were kept in tbe outfield.
From the grandstand, aowuvcr, ex
cellent opportunities to look over the
fielders were presented and every fan
has his team picked already, making
allowances In each case for Peter
son behind the bat, and Corbtti at
third, the last two named yet to ap
pear In uniform. The regulars poled
out four singles and two doubles In
the fifth and thereby sent over six
runs which coupled to one In the sec
ond canto and two in the sixth gave
them a lead over the Tannlgans, the
latter captained by Generalissimo
King and the regulars by Nadeau.
There is considerable variation In
the lineup as picked by the urns but
all agree that tout of the bunch I a
Grande has one, two, three materia!
or at least it looks that way. Slightly
cold, and still' early, the candidates
dates didn't loosen up much but that
