Sunday Night The Big Building Was Crowded j (By Rev. W. N. Brown.) ssaW 1' B BBBBBBT V bMMT MMl ibibibibibibibibibibibibibibibibibibibibibibibibibibibibH ai B bbH Owen F The great chorus choir has become so popular that the platform had to be extended at both ends. Many of the high school student are giving valu able aid in the choir. The faithful at I tention of singers, players ami leader is bringing fine development. The song service is u real attraction. Fol lowing it is a message that awakens thought and enlightens and draws the hearer back to the next service. Fri day night's rain may have hampered the ardor of a few but the building was comfortably filled- One described the Sabbath night attendance by saying "It waa so crowded that he could not put nis nunu uown 10 ins pocm-i 10 irri his offering when the plate was passed." Few scenes stir our hearts like that of the large number of men who courageously took their stand Sabbath j morning for the moral and spirtual Utlerment of Ontario. In the after-j noon the address to the women on "The Model Woman" inspired many to strive to attain that ideal. But u greater movement was yet to come. On Momlu night when an opportunity to publicly stand for Christ was given, more than a score and a half did so. j The high school had a good represen tation among these. We dare not pre-, diet what will follow such un opening, i This is a great beginning, but only a beginning.

Durard Holden of the Commercial Dept., has withdrawn from school and will enter at Pendleton where his fami ly arc now living. IS FEATURE OE TABERNACLE MEETINGS , Pugh. Mr. Haudenschield has driven away the fear entertained by some, that the emotions only would be appealed to. Nowhere is the depth of the foundation he builds on better seen than in the afternoon Bible lectures. And while deep, they are clear, practical and con vincing. The increasing attendance at these lectures is an evidence that peo ple are finding in them just what their better natures crave. A Few Sayings of the Evangelist Follow. You cannot trust a profane swearer any pluce. Some people have lived so long in the chicken yard they have learned to talk foul language. I'd put my head under the fence and ask the world to sit on it if my name should appear in the paper as a winner of a prise at a card party. A looking glass was never intended to wash the face nor the law to save men. But both help you to see your self. The curse of this world is the moth ers who do not care where their daugh ters are and what they are doing. Girls want to be a belle. It just tukes a little brass and a tone to make a bell they usually have both. I'd rather beg for a crumb of bread here than a drop of water in hell. Hell is one place that has gone dry. 1 would give 600 to hear Moses speak of the mistakes of Bob lngersol. FIELD FENCING Let Malheur Mercantile Co. Ontario, ONTARIO MUSIC CLUB HOLDS m OPEN!
