What is the International (Published by request This association sprang uppon Uneouslr and gradually during th past thirty years, bui particu larly during the past ten years. It it composed ot thinking Chris tian people of various ages who are studying the Bible reverently and profitably. There are no limitations as to membership, ex cept such as could be properly ap plied to any true Christian: (1) Faith in God as the great Creator and Heavenly Father; (1) Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ as the world's Redeemer; (3) Faith in the Bible that it is the inspired Message of God, respecting His will and purposes in connection with mankind; (4) A clean and honorable life. Our association finds this plat form broad enough for all true Christians, regardless of all denom inational lines, quirks and frills. We have no bondage, and any one is as free to leave the classes as to enter. Indeed, following the ex ample of the early Church in this, as well as in ether matters, we avoid any special manner or join ing these classes, or any special en rollment, or any special 'commit ment as to faith and practice other than the broad principles already mentioned. The International Bible Stu dents Association has c'asse in nearly every city in many coun tries, ana you may also desire to know about these and their re lationship to each other and to the association. Each class of the International Bible Students Association is in dependent, manages its own affairs, conducts its own meetings, and provides for its own expenses The association provides public in structors and ministers to lecture on the Bible, and to give sugges tions as to the methods of the primitive Church, and as to the best means of conducting -Berean Bible Classes. No class is obliged to have these lectures, nor to have the literature which the associa tion publishes for their assistance. They all do, however, find it very convenient to avail themselves of these helps to Bible study; and when requested, the association provides me assistance to tne ex tent of their ability subject to the limitations and the accessibilitv of the classes and the condition of its treasury funds. As for the personnel of the classes, they are from all walks of life laborers and physicians, pupils and teachers, housewives and society people. . They are mostly thoughtful, but have been dissatisfied for years, and have been feeling after God, and seek ing to satisfy their hungry souls. They are from all denominations Baptists, Presbyterians, Catho lics, Episcopalians, Jews; and a large percentage were once agnos tics. These include all nationali ties, also; English, Scotch, Irish, French, Italians, Chinese, Japan ese, etc. Indeed, we find that all over the world there is an intelli gent class who hunger after God, righteousness and truth, and who have nothing satisfactory in any of the creeds, but are now finding a soul-satisfying portion in the Bible itself. Here, as elsewhere, we are asked if these classes are confined to America. We say, "No, indeed!" Throughout Great Britain. France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Greece, Norway, Sweden, Den mark, India, China, Japan, Aus tralia, South Africa Jthese classes are to be found, a well as in Can ada and the United States. In deed, the original character of the association was a British one, the effic being in London. The inter national character of the work is the reaBon for that feature of the association's name. It is well understood that many of these Bible students were unsat isfied when they studied the Bible from various denominational Bible Students Association? of Mis Kleie Osborn.) standpoints, and that they are now satisfied, and we are asked how we account for thia. Po we u e the same Bible, or how cornea it that Presbyterians, Baptist, Methodists, etc.. can gain a clearer light in the International Bible Student Association Studies than in thoir own denominational line and classes? There is a difference. Each de nomination -seek to uphold its own traditions of the past, some ot which, are true and some false. But in our methods all- denomi national predilections are ignored. We pause not to inquire what Brother Calvin or Brother Wesley taught, nor what others taught be fore them or since. We go back to the teachings of Christ and the Apostles and Prophets, and ignore every other teaching. True, all denominations claim more or less to do this, but they are more or less handicapped by their tradi tions and creeds. They look through colored spectacles. We ignore at. inese s.me to view ..... uorus u. inspiration in i.gul0i toe conies oniy, or in tne i.gnt trom otner passages ot fecnp- ture. T. . . . position is blessed of time mentioned in the Scripture when the wise ones of God's peo ple are to understand is here. The Scriptures show what all people are beginning to realize clearlv that we are in the dawn of the New Dispensation. All the won derful inventions of the last eighty years corroborate the testimony that these are the foregleams of a New Dispensation; and that now, when these earthly blessings are increasing is the time when God promised that He would give special enlightenment respecting His Word and Plan, which He de clares He purposely kept under a veil, a partial mystery. The mys tery of God is to be finished, com pleted, and the full Plan of God is to be revealed in this New Dispen sation already dawning. We are also asked, "Is the In ternational Bible Students Asoci-j ation affiliated with any of the I regular organizations or creeds?" It is not. We purposely avoid all such trammels of thought. Nevertheless, we are sympathetic with all Christian people of ev.ry creed. We are realizing that the various denominations were or ganized not for the purpose of di- ""7 "uu U";"B " i : .l. t i i wi, uui cscu wud an enaeavor to find the light and Truth. We urge Christians to ignore all secta rian fetters and fancies, and point out that there is but one church, and that there is but one Head of the Church. Our public meetings are prefer ably held in large auditoriums, opera houses, etc., for these prove to be common meeting places for people of all faiths, and those without any denominational bias all who are True seekers, not satisfied with the husks UDon which tbey have been endeavoring for some time to feed. We are often told that consider able interest and comment attaches to the fact that our association uniformly advertises its meetings with "Seats free and no collec tions." This has become quite a trademark with our association, because it is so different from the usual practice; and an explana tion was requested as to the object of this, and as to how we get along without money, or how money is raised to meet the expenses, which are often large. As thinking people, we have for years noticed that the money ques tion has been the burning question in nearly all religious meetings. The church members are usually assessed up to the extent of their willingness or more, and the pub lic collections are specially taken to "milk the goats" to get money from the worldly. We do not find this method to have Scriptural sanction, and we are seeking to follow the teachings and example of Jesus and the Apostle. The work started along the lines of these example thirty years ajo seems to commend itself to all Bible student. They received help freely; they are glad to ex tend assistance to other without money, without price, without col lections. Nor are collections found to be necessary. The asso ciation receive whatever contrr butions are sent in to it for the carrying on of the work. Such moneys are not put up a Fo inula tioo Funds, nor consumed in ex pensive buildings, but are used promptly, freely, in the dissemi nation of free literature and in providing free publio meetings, I he association is content to spend what the Lord thus sends to it, and does not go into debt, nor make appeals for more money. Each local class, in arranging for publio meetings, follows the same course. Nevertheless, in the case of the new classes or those financially weak, the general as sociation helps with the expenses. All meetings conducted by the association's representative speak- era and under it auspice are j strictly free.

Our association endeavor to bring all Christian people into relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ as His members. We recog nize that the different denomina tion contain true people of God and we are in full sympathy with such, and are glad to co-operate with them in any manner for the furtherance of the Lord' work in harmony with the Scriptures Our only opposition to sectarian ism is that it attempt to divide God' people, insist upon the theories of the Dark Ages, and re fuse to recognize the Bible as paramount in authority. We urge Christian people to stand for the Divine Character, Plan and Word even though this should mean op position and persecution from those of the sectarian spirit. The International Bible Stu dents Association labors specially for Christian unity, on the Bible basis, in harmony with the words of the Apostle, that "By one Spirit we are all baptized into one Body."

Wins Most of the Events The first interscholastic track and field meet of Central Oregon was held at Redmond Saturday, May 10. In spite of unfavorable weather conditions a large crowd was pres ent and enthusiasm ran high. The track was very heavy yet some good records were made. If the present attitude of the various schools may be considered a criterian the meet will be continued an annual event. It is hoped that the number of schools taking part will be in creased and that another year will see teams from Burns, Klamath Falls, Lakeview, Fossil and many other schools competing. In the meet of last Saturday the C. C. H. S. scored 724, Redmond 41 and Bend 12i. The home team entered in every event and with the exception of the 440-dash secured more than one place. In the pole vault and the broad jump no other contestant was in the class of the locals and all points were tucked away under the C. C. H. S. banner. In the high jump first and second was secured by the C. C. II. S. boys, while Bend divided honors for third place. Team Lost.
