HEN FRUIT IS LOWER Ma was kicking about the price of eggs and saying that eggs go up when the hens lay down, but, honest, don't you think it's a blooming shame for a couple hundred hens to stand around and do nothing with eggs at cents a dozen? Why, our hens stand up by the fence and cackle and make faces at every one who goes by and just seem to glory in their shame. Well, every dog has his day and the hens are having theirs, but I want to tell you there's no laying down or laying up anything on this job, but a fierce appetite. It's lucky we have so many tempting things to allay craving for good things to eat and drink. Everything is fresh and pure and we certainly sell the finest butter in this man's town. Now don't we ?

"Then laid they their hands on them and they received the Holy Ghost." Acts 8:17. What Is Confirmation? What bene fits are received from it, and on what authority Is it administered. Confirmation is a Christian ordin ance in which the Bishop lays hands on those who have been baptized that they may receive the Holy Spirit and be assured of God's favor and good ness toward them. It Is one of the ways by which God is pleased to con vey His grace to His people. The first recorded Instance of Con firmation is found In Acts VIII., where we read that Philip, a deacon, went to Samaria and preached the gospel, many believed and were baptized. But there was something more to be done before these converts could receive the full benefit of their new faith; something which Philip could not do. The record says that when the Apos tles in Jerusalem heard of what had been done at Samaria they sent two of their number, Peter and John, who, when they were come down, adminis tered to them the laying on of hands, or Confirmation. From this and other passages of scripture we learn four things, (1) that there was In the early Church an ordinance known as the Laying On of Hands; (2) that It was administered by the Apostles; (3) that It was admin istered to those who had been bap tized; (4) that the grace attached to it was the gift of the Holy Spirit. In Hebrews VI., the writer mentions certain things which he calls "the principles of the doctrine of Christ." They are: Repentance, Faith, Bap tism, Laying On of Hands, the Res urrection and Judgment. Being one of the principles of Christianity, the Church has ever retained it as one of the things of permanent obligation and value. It would be easy to show how this ordinance continued in the Church down through the ages, if time per mitted, Tertullan, In the second cen tury, speaking of baptism, says: "Next to this the hand is laid upon us, call ing upon and invoking the Holy Ghost. The flesh Is overshadowed by the hand, that the soul may be Illuminated by the Spirit." St. Cyprian, Bishop of Carthage in the third century, says: "The custom has also come down to us that those who have been baptized be brought to the Bishop of the Church that by our prayers and by the laying on of hands they may obtain the Holy Ghost and be consummated with the seal of the Lord." . Jerome, in the fourth century, and Thodoret, in the fifth, speak In simi lar terms of Confirmation. These tes timonies could be multiplied indefin itely, showing that, from the Apostles' time down through the ages, Confirma tion was practised in every branch of the Church as a precious means of grace. Confirmation is administered to those who have been baptized. It brings all such into full communion with the Church. The child who was baptized in infancy then ratifies and confirms the vows made in his name and acknowledges himself bound to keep them. But there are many people who never received baptism; who have never committed themselves to the Christian life. On what conditions may they be confirmed? By first re ceiving baptism and taking the vows of a Christian: 1. The vow of renunciation. 2. The vow of faith. 3. The vow of obedience. To renounce the devil and all his works, and chose a new master the Lord Jesus. To believe in Him. To serve Him truly. These are the vows of a Christian, and when any soul Is ready in God's name to take these vows, then the Lord Jesus, "who for us men and our salvation came down from heaven," is ready on His part to give to that soul the blessing of forgiveness. And He conveys that blessing through the O has enjoyed throughout the County enables it to furnish such a large paper. If you are a reader of the paper call your neighbor's attention to the fact that Clackamas County has never before had so much in the way of a County Paper.

Only let the soul be honest with God and nothing can come between It and its salvation. To all who have not received Con firmation, let me say In the words of an other: "Go back In thought to the first age of the Church. Suppose you are one of those Samaritans whom St. Philip has converted. You have re pented of your sins; you have con fessed your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; you have been baptized Into the Church. But St. Philip tells you that two of the Chief Pastors of the Church, the Apostles Peter and John, are coming down from Jerusalem to give you their official benediction, to lay their hands on your head and to invoke the Holy Ghost upon you. With what eagerness would you seize the precious opportunity! You would hasten to the place appointed; and as soon as you saw the benignant face of St. Peter, or heard the loving voice of St. John, and reaiized that you were in the presence of one whom your Divine Master had commissioned as an Apostolic Bishop, or Overseer of His Church, would you not rejoice to have him lay his hands on your head and bless you in God's name? Well, that Is Confirmation. The Bishops who vis it our parishes every year come with the same afiice and authority as St. Peter and St. John, when they made the first Episcopal visitation of Samar ia. If you believe In God; If you de-' sire grace and help and strength come In faith, and as the good Bish op, after the example of his predeces sors, the Holy ApoBtles, lays his hands on your head and blesses you in God's name, you will be blessed Indeed."

There are 12 pages each page contain ing 7 colums. This makes a column more on each page than you usually get in a county weekly or 12 columns, which is equal to two extra pages when comparing with a six column paper. Then the extra length gives half a page extra. So, summing up, the County Weekly as a rule gives you 8 pages each containing 6 columns. To get the comparative size of the COURIER you must add dt pages which is lacking only a page and a half of being just double the size of the ordinary 8-page weekly.
