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

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."

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.

Th Perlln capital Is developing
revolt against the predominance of
Parisian fashions. Professor IHxgn,
the eminent expert In the history of
costumes, proses to found a univer
sity of women's fashions.
He says this Is tke only possible way
of delivering Germany from the dotnl
nation of Paris In fashions. The past
attempts of German artist to effort
this aim bar failed, owing to their
lack of practical knowledge and th
absence In Berlin of costume tradi

An Institution of thia kind exist at

obtained approval of hi plan from
many eminent persona. Including th
artists Westphnl and Srbulze and nu
merous dress reformer.
At a meeting called to discuss th
project a woman speaker said that th
university should be directed by a
famous artist and the practical ildo
controlled by an expert In tailoring

touch with the life of fashion the uni

the most Important shops and with
some of the better theaters.
Attractive and Useful.
rowder chamois that are attractive
and particularly useful on account of
their shape are made as follows: Cut
a strip of chamois and a piece of ribbon
three Inches wide and about nine Inch
es lung, cutting one end the shape of
an envelope flap. Sew these together
by overcasting the edge. Then turn
the straight end up about two Incite
and sew the sides together to form a
pocket or envelope. I'Mnlsh the edge
all around with dainty Valenciennes
or Armenian edging and sew two tiny
pit-res of ribbon (something to match
the wide ribbon on the outslilei. one on
the flap and the other at the point
where It folds like an envelope. The
pocket will hold quite a quantity of
powder without spilling, and a small
quantity lit a time ran tie shaken out
on the long flap for uso. A girl's toilet
articles are hardly complete without
one of these, and any woman who ran

Hint For Bazaar Workers.
When making pretty articles for bn
r.aars. such as aprons or pinafores, one
