Always at Your Service I In a sermon on Luke 19:41 the pas tor of Zion Lutheran church yester day morning made extensive refer ences to "Civic Righteousness." Bas ing his remarks on Christ's lamenta tions over Jerusalem when he entered that city for the last time, just pre- , vious to crucifixion, he said in part: i "The real cause of the tears of Christ must be sought in the realm : of spiritual things, rather than in the political and material misfortunes j they forshadowed. To Christ it was 'the unrepenting, sin-loving and self righteous attitude of the nation that I caused him to lament. But those of us who live in a time alter Titus the Roman general laid siege to and ut terly destroyed Jerusalem just 40 years later we know of the million corpses covering the ground and the dessolutions and undescribable scenes of that most awful destruction in the history of wan, to us the signifi cance of Christ s tears must also have a political, a material bearing. The. corruption, deceitfulness and dishon esty of the nation resulted in its own annihilation, just like low motives and despising of truth and honesty always result in disaster eventually. "If Jesus Christ were to appear in the flesh in our land now and visit our cities it is more than likely that he would enter the majority of them j weeping. It is true that municipal reform has made great strides dur ing the last decade, but individually the nolitician. the businessman and the social leader was slow to aaopr the new standard of respect for the right and regards of our. fellow men, that is sweeping the land. Step by step the abuses against God. and man have had to be crowded off the stage of American life, in-so-far as any victories have been won. " Local Date Pointed Out.

La Grande Students at State Institu- tion United Ask Support. Eugene, Ore., Sept. 29. (To the Editor of Observer). -The Eastern Oregon students at the University of Oregon, take this means of express ing their regret that extension of the university's facilities has been delay ed by the referendum. We are in daily contact with condi tions at the university and realize how difficult it is becomine to handle the fast increasing student body without a corresponding increase in the facil ities. , , The university has had no new building for seven years, and the last structure erected was a libraryr. The appropiations under the referendum call for $100,000 for a ney administra tion and class room building and $75, 000 to make extensions and repairs to four other buildings. We know this added room is greatly needed, the at tendance at the university having doubled since the last new building was put up. . Deady hall and Villard hall, the principal class room buildings now, were built in 1876 and 1885, respectively. Jtride in our state university and a desire to see' it helped rather than hindered in becoming the greatest in stitution it is destined to be, able to aid thousands as it has aided us, prompts us, in convention this day assembled, to agree as follows: ' Resolved, That we urge all the peo ple of our respective communities to register without fail and to support the university on November 4th in the two matters that are so vital to its continued progress, and Resolved, That we view with cor- QUIT KICKING t i If you don't like what you've got, trade it.

The Lutheran church has taken on new life and activity during the month of September. The Luther I-eague has commenced to hold reeu lnr devotional meetings every Sunday evening and the Sunday school has added two classes and as many teach ers. The bible class is now under the able leadership of Mr. Mansaircr and Mrs. Harris Homble has been no- ; pointed the regular organist for the I Sunday school. The deacons also are working on plans for the enlarging jand beautifying of the church build i ing. With a new coat of paint and humerous other improvements it is j hope interest will he created for the 'upkeep snd continued improvement of the building among the members, r-l-forts are being made to arrange for a Sunday school and social hall in the basement. The congregation has lost several members through remov al to other cities, and will feel great ly the loss of Mr. and Mrs. Dalton who are soon, to leave, but others stay lovely is have come in and it is expected that an(j don't cry.'
