Warm friend, and Dr. U. S. Bartz,
( present pastor of the church.
"The altar of ; the church was
adorned with vases of stately white
, Calla and Easter lilies, palms, ferns
ana greenery, lhe service opened
appropnatly with the rendition of
the beautiful old hymn "O Love that
Will Not Let Me Go," the reading of
the scripture lesson, Psalm 121, Dr.
; Lane's favorite, and II Timothy 4:1
8 by Elder M. W. Seibert and a
prayer by Elder W. H. Barnum.
During the evening the well-trained
voices of the Presbyterian choir
blended perfectly in "Crossing the
Bar" and "Beyond the Smiling and
the Weeping," sung most effectively."
The article then proceeds to dwell
on the text of the address, all of them
with the Christian upright, lovable
disposition and character which the
late divine displayed while in La
Grande. That he had the warmest
possible friends in and out of the
church the same there as he did here,
is very evident Jrom the tone of the
addresses.
Reflecting the deep religious kin
ship between the late divine and his
congregation in La Grande, can bo
taken as indicative the following rem
luticn: Congregational Resolution.
Whereas it has pleased God to
remove our beloved pastor, Dr. A. G.
Lane, from our midst, and to take
him unto Himself we hereby express
the deep sorrow which has come to
this people, and the great loss which
we, as a church, have sustained.
Dr. Lane was a man beloved, not
alone by his own people, but by all
with whom he came in contact. The
goneral expression of all is "He was
a good man."
He lived a most earnest, conse
crated life and brought cheer and
comfort to all with whom he met.
Dr. Lane was a man of rare
n, ..:.;t- mnftf 4nrft 1

cheerful and kind, and like his Master,
he too was a good Teacher.
While we mourn his loss most
deeply, yet we thank God that he wns
permitted to give us nearly two'
years of his ministry thnt we might
realize his power for good and roceivo
of his teachings, and his words of
counsel nnd good cheer.
And while with sorrowing hearts
we render this tribute to his memory,
we pray that we may so faithfully
follow his teachings that, we, like him,
may receive the reward of the faith
ful. "Blessed ore the dead which die in
(he Lord from henceforth: Yea: said
the Spirit, that they may rest from
their labour and their words do fil-
low them."
We commend tho loving wife and
sons to God's most tender care and
i.
Resolved that a copy of this mem
orial be sent to Mrs. A. G. Lane, and
a copy0 sent to tho city paper.
This resolution adopted by the
regular Congregational Meeting of
the First Presbyterian Church of La
Grande, Oregon, this the 9th. day of
April, 1914.

C. J. SMITH IS

DEMOCRATIC GUBERNATORIAL
JOB ATTRACTS HIM.
Asserts He Has Found Eastern Ore
gon Favorable to Him.
C. J. Smith Democratic aspirant for
primary nomination to the office of
; governor. '
Dr
r. C. J. Smith, formerly of Pendle
ton but now a practicing physician in
Portland, is in the citv conversing
with the people whom he meets rela
tive to his chances for the Demo
cratic nomiration to the office of gov
ernor of Oregon.
Dr. Smith has served as a member
of the state senate from ' Umatilla
county and was quite successful in
political ambitions in. that county for
he received the election when Demo
crats were in the minority. Ia his
last effort however, he suffered de
feat after a very strenuous campaign.
Af ter making a tour fit the coun
try east of La Grande he said to the
Observer Saturday evening: '
"I have been through the extreme
eastern part of the state, visited
Eagle and Pine valleys, met many of
the Baker county people and : I feel
encouraged at the prospects of nomi
nation." The doctor is opposed by John Man
ning of Portland who was recently
here fixing up his fences and also
by Judge Bennett of The Dalles, who
has considerable strength in this por
tion of the state. Each candidate has
his individual platform the same as
each Republican candidate has a plat
form of his own making.
Just how Democrats east of the
mountains will divide their support
between Judge Bennett, Dr. Smith and
John Manning, is but a mere guess.
Hbwever, each of the three seems to
feel very confident of success.

of the lonely dwn yon stretch out
your arm for your baby In the bed I
ibnll say: "Baby it uot there"-niother.
I Hill going .'
' 1 shall become n delicate draff of
air and caress yuw. and I shall he rip

kiss you and kiss you again
In the gusty night when the rain
putters on the leaves you will bear my
whisper In your bedi and my laughter
will tlash with the lightning through
lhe open window into your room
ir yon lie awakei thinking of your
baby iintii late In the ulgbt. 1 shall
slug to yon from the smrs. "Sleep,
mother, sleep."
Ou the straying moonbeums I shall
steal over your bed- and lie upon your
bosom while you sleep. ' . '
I shall become a dream, and through
tbe little opening of your eyelids I
shall slip Into the depths of your sleep,
and when you wake up and look round,
startled like a twinkling flrelly, I shall
flit out Into the darkness.
. When on the great festival ot puja
the neighbors' children come and play
about the bouse 1 shall melt Into the
