A SERMON NEVER PREACHED.
In the desk of the late Dr. A. G,
Lane there lies a sermon that was
never preached. Death claimed the the note when State Treasurer Kay

loved to paint on his well chosen words
of the hereafter are now his realiza
tion. He has crossed that river of
which he has so often preached; he has
stood on the great divide and wit-,
nessed the blessings which he so fer
vently prayed for, not' only for him-.

Lane was one of those grand, unsei-

sermons at the Presbyterian church
for many months have found men and
women ready to accept their teachings.
His thorough knowledge of the Bible
' has won for him admiration from all
denominations, and tha beautiful life
that he lived was a perfect example of
the man of today consecrated to Chris-
tian duty.
La Grande and community today
mourns the loss of this good man.
NO BANKER IS IMMUNE.
We too often think a banker is im
mune from business mistakes. We
look upon the man who runs a bank
as being perfect in his judgment of
men and therefore not liable to poor
business ventures such as newspaper-

wno knew him well, could see
just a little farther than most men.
Yet in this estate was found quite a
number of notes marked "worthless"
showing that even Mr. Bush made
business mistakes.
It is of passing interest to know
that the present governor of Oregon,
Mr. West, had a note for over a
thousand dollars given in favor of

If we should unfortunately be
thrown into a war we would have to
call upon our citizens quickly and
without loss of time and send them
into the field. We should have-on

General Wood pleaded for the train-
ine of the youth of the land in the
handling of firearms, in simple mili-
try tactics and in such outdoor life
s wu'd parallel the life led by
soldiers in the field. -His speech has
aroused some persons to unfavorable
comment, as all such speeches do. But
surely he is more moderate in his re
quest than most, if not all the others
who have been clamoring for a
greater war force.
What General Wood asks is to the
personal interest of the youth as well

Ac the same time at which Central
Wood spoke, a letter from President
Wilson was read advocating summer
camps for college students, in which
they migh be trained in the use of
firearms and in simple military
knowledge. This is timely advice

of the army. Each of them knows
only too well how unprepared we as
a people, are for war. 6ur present

may possibly entail, emphasizes the

New Mission Opens.
The Catholic mission for men start
ed auspiciously last night. The seat
ing capacity of the church was taxed
to its limit and more could not have
found admittance to the church. The
sermon was on "The Salvation of the
Soul", and stirred the assemblage of
men to the depths. A more masterly
dissertation could hardly have been
delivered. For fully an hour Father
Brady attempted to put brakes to the
mad rush of present day life, by
pointing out the futility of things of
this life in comparison with the great
importance of the great beyond. He
pictured true and perfect justice and
reminded men of the awful import
ance of setting good example.
He scored some of the easy doc
trines of men and women who to ease
their consciences, discard some of the
dogmas of religion because they are in
the way of their quest for pleasure.
Every night this week Father Brady
will speak with special reference to
men but women will be welcomed, ex
cepting on Friday when only men of
15 years and above will be admitted
to the church. The mission for the
Indies of the parish was eminently
successful. Fully three hundred np-
proached the sacraments. The mis
sionary is well pleased with the re-;
suits thus far obtained and is going j
to put forth supreme efforts to mnke
this week's mission for men fully as
efficacious.

Tom Loftus is back from Califor

cities of San Francisco, Los Angeles,
San Diego and traveled about gener

other wild game. During his absence
he made a trip to Portland to visit
Mrs. Gavin, his sister, who is quite
ill with cancer, and whose life is de
spaired of.

that when completed the whole, will
present a strikingly beautiful picture.
Many more men are in the city than
can be accomodated with work, which
gives conditions the appearance of
being dull and backward. But normal
ly there is work for many. Too many
had the same idea and this is re
sponsible for .he presence of a larger
force of men that is needed to do
the work. The Oregon uuilding has
just been commenced and will be beau
tiful when completed. Tom is goinjf
to stick to La Grande for a week 01
ten days and may then go back into
the hills and live close to nature for
the summer.
