Scrinturcs ought ever to have doubted
Christ's resurrection. The Old Testa
ment was a preliminary fr nis father.
The God that hung the stars in the
heavens, and laid the foundations of
these rock-ribbed hills has power over
nature, to compel them to do his will.
He that gives Life can give Eternal
Life, is not preposterous. Paul had
3. great theology because he had a
great God and the resurrection of
Christ was only the demonstration of
God's power over the forces of an
nihilation. And this is tho message for our day,
tho sacred word holds true for our
time, God is master. Against Him
there can be no meeting in the nature
that is the expression of His will. If
God exists, He must exist as the
Lord of all physical things, and not
their helpless servant. On the as
sumption that God lives, and reigns,
a resurrection is possible and when

The Overland Big Four continues
the famous 35 horsepower Over
land which made this institution
the second largest automobile
concern in the world in eight
years.
It is the same comfortable, roomy,
powerful, rugged car that for
years has outsold all cars which
now sell for more than 400.
Its brand new body design makes
it more, attractive than ever.
The whcelbase is 112 inches and it
has long 48 inch cantilever rear
springs.
We believe it is the most com
fortable, the easiest riding car
to be had for the price S850.
It is as clearly as ever the excess
value car of its class.
And the Overland Light Six is
likewise the excess value car of
its kind.
Most of the body and chassis parts
of the Light Six are the same as
those of the Big Four.
So the Six shares directly in the
economies of the combined pro
duction of fours and sixes.
These cars exemplify with great
clearness the excess values made
possible through the economics
effected by our huge production
of the most comprehensive line
of cars ever built by any one
producer.
Ask us to show you the Big Four
and the Light Six.

Gospel

BY CHARLES A. EDWARDS.

impressed him as the most exalted
achievement of the Divine Son? When
Paul's gospel is unfolded to its sub
limest truth, wiiat climax revelation
is made. When he grasps most com
prehensively the majestic possibilities
of the human spirit and interprets
most sympathetically the needs of
mankind, what final message of cheer
and coriifort and inspiration does he
speak? When he victoriously itin
erated among the dying nations of his
day, what new dynamic of life did ho
olfer? When he wooed men from sin
to holiness, to what mighty faith did
he convincingly appeal? When he
revolutionized the religious life of
humanity upon what cornorstonc did

When he interpreted with keenest in- i with its significant implications, that
is this revelation around which all
others must cluster, as stars around

It was a unique message. Never
before had tho despairing, bewildered
world, surfeited with commonplaces,
and trying to feed its hunger upon
tho husks of surmises and doubts,
heard so bold a doctrine. It was a
powerful message turning the world
upside down, and inaugurating the
new age. It was a victorious mes
sage. Old faiths, gloomy and unsat

sweetest music, humanity ceased its

immensity of Gods cosmos, and un
derstand by what amazing ties man
kind is related to God, who shall be
reckless enough to declare what the
Omnipotent God can do for those
whom Ho loves. Because God is su
preme death must do His holy bid
ding. 'It exists because He ordains it
to be His obedient servant. Our God
that bids sunrise to follow sunset can
make Life the holy and beautiful se
quel to death. Our knowledge of His
perfect mastery over creation leads us
to the calm trust that death can have
no permanent supremacy over Christ,
nor over God's faithful children and
through the indwelling of the Holy
Spirit. He has written immortality
upon our souls. Is this life good?
Then He will give the eternal life also
wheh vastly transcends this earthly
existence. "Therefore, my beloved
hrethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable,
always abounding in the work of the
Lord."
Country Editors.
It would not be easy to find anyone
who knows the facts in the case to
contradict a speaker at the recent
meeting of an editorial association in
a western state, who, in alluding to
the editors of the newspapers pub
lished in the smaller communities,
said they were the "finest kind of
men and citizens, imbued with the
idea of serving the public, and ready
to do more than their share for their
communities." Those who know the
small-town newspaper man, in the
United States, know that this is just
about the fact. The Christian Science

Paul identities tho new system of
Christianity with the faith in the
risen exalted Christ. This is the
church's foundation. Consequently in
the midst of his on-rushing letter to
the Corinthians, he must pause to
write his eloquent, convincing de
fense of the precious belief in a fu
ture life with Ch.-ist. Paul gloried in
the Cross of Christ. Through it lie ; if

With a state headquarters estab
lished, much enthusiasm, and many
requests pouring in for information,
literature and speakers, the road
bonding campaign may be regarded as
started. All that is lacking to get it
under full steam is money.
All the money received at head
quarters so far is from subscriptions
made by members of the Legislature
and the few people who met with the r
Legislative committee when it gath
ered formally in Portland. Each
gave $10 and the total receipts bare
ly sufficed to cover the cost of insert
ing the official argument in the state
pamphlet.
Now the spectacle is presented of a
state-wide headquarters having no
cash with which to do the work tho
different countries are asking it to do.
Some of the Portland roail boosters
have made the proposal that they
will make some subscriptions and go
out and collect funds from the busi
ness interests, half of the proceeds to
bo paid to Senator E. D. Cusick of
Albany. Treasurer of the state-wid
legislative committee, and the other
half to be used in the Multnomah
county campaign. Committees are
being named by tho different Portl
land business men's organizations to
put on a subscription campaign.
The different counties are handling ,
their local campaigns in good shape,
but are clamoring for such co-operation
as only a state-wide headquarters
can give. The hopes of the legisla
tive committee that subscriptions
would be sent in spontaneously from
the county organizations have so far
failed to materialize. Evidently the
state-wide headquarters will languish
in respectable poverty until a vigor
ous financial campaign is organized to
procure subscriptions. Meanwhile
there is an excellent opportunity for
individuals and associations all over
Oregon to be of practical service to
the good roads cause by sending sub
scriptions to Treasurer Cusick of
Albany. Any subscriptions turned in
to The Observer will be forwarded by
the editor to Treasurer Cusick, and
acknowledgement made in our col
umns of names and amounts subscribed.

prcceuented zeal to turn from evil
and to seek after holiness. What a
majestic spectacle is this exalted Paul,
preaching to a despairing world a new
hope throjigh the risen Christ.
And it is this hmtx- faith in the res
urrectien of Christ that Paul with all
the greatness of his unique chainc
'ir. heralds and defends as central
in the new religion established by
Christ. To him it has a strategic sig-
niticance. All other truths concerning
the Pivinc Son need this to complete
them. All other conceptions conccrn

are partial without this. Wiihiu't
