Cherryville Writer Presents Causes
and Remedies for Them
To the Editor:
I read with much pleasure arid sat
isfaction your article about good
roads. It is positively silly the way
the road money has been expended in
times past in this county. In the
summer time dirt roads are good with
with very little work,, and in the win
ter time a rainy season the more
the dirt roads have been worked the
softer and more muddy they become.
A better system prevailed here this
last season. Road money was ex
pended in, planking hills. The right
plan I believe; is . to bond the
county for better roads, as they are
doing in other counties, notably, Jack
son, Clatsop and others. Long before
these bonds were due, the increased
valuation and the larger area settled
and improved caused by good roads
would make the payment of these
bonds an easy matter.
You are right about the Big Four
proposition in the President's mes
sage. A system of rural credits where
by the farmer can get cheaper money
is something that is sadly needed. In
Colorado state money to the amount
of $1,000,000, which the bankers get
for 2 per cent, is loaned to the farm
ers for 2 per cent a -month. In this
state the money deposited by the gov
ernment, $800,000, to help move the
crops, can not be obtained by the
farmer at any price. This money is
loaned to Big Business in Portland at
different rates owing to the zone the
firms live in. Those nearest to the
favored zone and creatures of the
banks, getting it cheaper, while those
in the farthest zones. have to pay
more. But the 1 farmer the Modern
Atlas, who carries the world on his
shoulders, gets none at all or very
little, and that at such ruinous rates
that are practically prohibitive.
Now then, our worthy President
proposes that the farmers shall have
cheap money. ;
The rural credit system is preva
lent in many parts of Europe, but the
same complaint is coming from Ger
many that we hear, and that is that
the land is held out of use by the
greedy speculators . They must be
turned out and the land held in such
a way that the people who want to
use it must be given an opportunity
to make homes for those willing to
work the land.
, We have many problems before us
but one of the biggest ones is curb
ing the boundless greed and avarice
of the predatory rich. It was never in
tended by the Maker and the Master
of the Universe that a' few greedy
and cold-blooded wretches should riot
and revel in more than orietal splen
dor and those who do the work of
the world should live in abject pov
erty. The few shall not forever rule,
The many toil tomorrow;
The gates of hell are strong today,
But right shall rule tomorrow.
A big railroad meeting will be held
Sandy on Thursday evening of this
week to conider a proposition to build
a railroad from a branch line over the
mountains to eastern Oregon and thru
their place and Sandy. -This is a new
company and one thoroughly respons
ible and bright hopes are entertained
that this time it is a go.
Dr .Botkins went to Portland to
submit to an operation last week and
it was found that he had obstructions
in his digestive organis consisting of
a gall stone in the gall duct and a
smaller one in the duct from the pan
creas. He rallied from the anaesthetic
in fine shape despite his emaciated
condition and it is expected at this
writing, that he will completely recov
er. Old Doctor Flynn, aveteran of the
Uml War, died at the home of his
daughter, Mrs. David Douglas near
Sandy, last Friday and was buried in
the cemetery here Monday. He is sur
vived by three daughters, Mrs. Trul
linger of Lents, Mrs. Douglas and
Mrs. Revenue of Sandy and three sons
being Noah, George and Fred.

It Sounded
Like Thunder
By F. A. MITCHEL
' I met Llllle Longmaq and was Intro
duced to ber at a barn dance. I fell
head over beets in love with her at
once. There was some attempt at fan
cy costume among the girls, and Llllle
was dressed like an Indian girl, ber
long black hair hanging below ber
waist I knew scarcely any one there
and stood' watching a set of dancers
who were doing n Quadrille or soma
other of those old fashioned sqpnre
dances. Lllile was bobbin? about, feel
ing happy In the consciousness of look
ing very pretty and showing her long
locks, and all the while she was firing
quick shots at me with her black eyes.
After the dance I. hunted for some
one to Introduce- me to Llllle and "was
successful. The girl had known I was
watching her In the dance, and every
one of her antics was for me. I wasn't
a dancing man and persuaded ber to
sit out a dance with me. Then a nice
looking, dapper young fellow took her
for another dance, and I looked on
again. This time her antics were for
me all the same, but they were of an
other kind. Bhe flashed her eyes alter
nately at me and into those of the fel
low she danced with. I was too stupid
to see through this feminine device
then, and It had Its effect Quite likely
It would have worked Just as well with
me If I had seen through It When a
girl . wishes to attract and a fellow
wishes to be attracted it's, the easiest
Job in the world.
It wasn't long before I was going to
see Llllle. Bhe was an orphan and
lived with' ber grandmother, an old
lady deaf as a trolley car conductor
whose car Is Jammed full of strap
hangers. She was half blind too. But
she must have heard by contact wftb
substances if she didn't hear through
the air, and, as for seeing, the darker
it was the better chance she bad of
distinguishing objects. She was like
other deaf and blind persons in that
respect. She couldn't see or hear what
she should see and hear, but bad re
markable facilities for detecting what
was most inconvenient for others for
her to know.
About the time I made Lillle's ac
quaintance her grandmother was tak
en with her last illness. Llllle loved
the old lady, and ber approaching
demise was an affliction to the niece
As for me, 1 was but twenty-one years
old and had years before m In which
to do courtipg, but so Impatient was 1
that I grudged the old lady what little
time she needed from Llllle. I feared
I would be too old for matrimony he;
fore the invalid got into her grave and
ceased to require attention.
Now that I look back on this period
1 can see that 1 was very unreasonable.
I would go to the house and wait a
whole evening for Llllle while she re
mained upstairs with ber grandmother,
hoping every minute that she could
come downstairs for a brief sitting
with me. One evening when I had
waited a couple, of hours In this way 1
concluded, considering that the old wo
man was blind and deaf and ber Im
perfect senses must be further dead
ened by illness, to go upstairs to the
sickroom, steal in and see if I couldn't
get a word with Llllle. . '
1 tiptoed up the staircase and to the
door of the room, which fortunately 1
found ajar. Llllle was sitting In a
chair where she could see me. She
came to the door, and I told ber that
if she couldn't come to me 1 was bound
to go to her. She went back into the
room, turned the light very low and
beckoned me to enter. . There was a
sofa placed where the invalid could
not very well see It 1 stole toward it,
and Llllle and I sat down side by side
with our arms around each other.
We whispered more love than today,
at fifty, I could talk In a year, and to
be heard by each other we scarcely
needed to whisper, for when I spoke
my Hps touched ber coral ear, and
when she spoke her Hps 'were a mil
lionth of an inch from mine. '
"Who's there?" came from the in
valid. Llllle arose, went to the bed and
asked ber grandmother if she wanted
anything. She replied that sbe thought
she heard whispering. Llllle told ber
that sbe must be mistaken, put her
band on the sick woman's ' head to.
soothe ber and told ber she bad better
try to get a little sleep.
Whether grandma was satisfied with
this or not she said no more, and Lll
lle, after coddling ber awhile, came
back to me. I had been wishing 1
could burst the remains of the drum
of the old lady's ear with a ramrod,
but when Llllle came back I felt bet
ter. However, we didn't think it pru
dent to do any more whispering and
refrained. I took a pencil from my
pocket and some old letters and wrote
what I had to say very short sen
tences, in every one of which the word
"love" figured conspicuously.
' Men. Instead of choosing, as Is sup
posed, appropriate opportunities for
proposals, are quite likely to choose
the most unfitting. I was unable to
even whisper without being beard by a
deaf and dying old woman, and yet I
must needs choose the moment to
make a declaration (on paper) and ask
Llllle to be my wife. She accepted me
(on paper), and I sealed our engage
ment with s kiss which was uninten
tionally a smack.
"Llllle!" came from the sickbed.
"What grandma, dear?"
"Is it raining?"
"No. grandma."
"Ob. I thought I ' beard something
that sounded like thunder."

'JJ- rA B I B LE ST U DY O N r
THE VICTORIES OF FAITH.
Acts 7:9-16; Hebrews 11:20-22
Juno 29.
"This Is the victory that overcometh tto
varUl, even our faith." I John 6.
E live in a day when faith is
retitly discounted. People
. seem disposed to say, "I
cure not what a man be
lieves. If only his life be houoruble."
By this generally Is meant that faith
Is of no consequence. Those who so
hold usually put honor of men as the
highest goal. -Their Sentiments, trans
lated Into plain English, would be
"Willi all your getting, get money and
prosperity; for without these, you will
never prosper In the present life."
The Bible standpoint,' however, is
the very reverse of this. God's Word
puts faith first, and builds character
upon that faith. God declares that no
human being can do perfect works.
Hence Tie has not 1.
FAITH

IV
NOT

made works the
standard. Faith Is
God's standard, and
He assures us that
whoever has the
proper faith must
necessarily have
works to corre
spond. In line with this
principle, we note
that God's favor
ites of the Bible have all been men of
faith. Their faith did not make them
perfect, nor were their works always
acceptable In God's sight. But lie pun
ished them for evl works, and reward
ed them for faith. Thus we find in the
Bible record that some of God's favoiv
ltes committed grievous sins and made
serious mistakes. Nevertheless, they
maintained God's favor, by reason of
their faith. Of all religious books ever
written the Bible Is perhaps the most
candid. It tells of the mistakes and
the sins of the very men which It holds
up as examples. Yet the Bible incul
cates the highest possible standards of
righteousness, in word, deed and
thought.
The Faith Before Christ Came.
The first proclamation of God's pur
poses respecting humanity was made
to Abraham. After Abraham had man.
ifested his faith, God declared that
He would greatly bless him and his
posterity, so that through him would
eventually come children who would
accomplish the great work of blessing
mankind, and who would rescue all
from the power of sin and death. "In
thee and In thy Seed shall all the fam
ilies of the earth be blessed."
For years God tested Abraham. Yet
"his faith staggered hot." After Isaac
had been born and as yet had no child,
God directed that this son of promise
be sacrificed. What a grand- develop
ment of faith Abraham had acquired
when he was ready to obey, accounting
that God was able to raise Isaac from
the dead! O the blessing of Buch faith!
It was the same with Isaac and Ja
cob. That promise influenced the whoU
course of their lives. Although they
understood pruetieully nothing of how
God would accomplish so great a bless
ing, yet their faith laid hold upon the
fact. It mude them more like God. It
shaped every interest of life.
By and by. Israel was called the peo.
plo of God. The Covenant of Sinai
pledged them to be a holy nation. God
covenanted with them that If they
would keep His Law blamelessly, He
would fulfil In them the Promise made
to Abraham. He knew that imperfect
men could not keep His perfect Law;
but He let them try, thereby learning
the lesson. Through that lesson He
would givo Instruction to the angels
respecting His righteousness, and also
to Spiritual Israel, whom later " He
would develop and through whom the
blessing actually would come.
During tho Jewish Age, God blessed
those Israelites who shared Abraham's
faith. St. Paul could enumerate a con
siderable number who pleased God be
cause of their faith. Those Ancient
Worthies, although they will not be the
Seed of Abraham In the highest sense,
on the spirit plane, will be the seed of
blessing on the earthly plane the chan
nel through which blessings will ulti
mately come to all nations.
Faith Since Christ Came."
Christ's coming did not change tin
Divine Purpose, and therefore did not
change the faith of God's people. Je
sus and the Apostles believed and
taught the very Gospel which St. Paul
says, God preach
ed to' Abraham.
(Gelations 3:8)
Tho Message still
was that ail the
f a m i 1 1 e s of the
earth would be
blessed through
Abraham's Seed,
But there was an
additional feature
to be proclaimed;
namely, that God
had begun the work of providing this
Seed Messiah. God had sent His Son
into the world, that He might become
the Seed of Abraham on the spirit
plane, and eventually fulfil every fea
ture of the original Promise.
Later, under the guidance of the
Holy Spirit, the Apostle Instructed the
early Church that The Messiah would
not be one person, but many. Not Je
sus alone would be the Seed of Abra
ham, but Jesus the Head and tho
Church the Body, would be that Seed.
Jesus was represented by the head of
Isaac, and the Church by his body, as
St. Paul says. "We, brethren, as Isaac
was, ore the children of Promise."' It
has taken the entire Gospel Age to
develop this Body, the Church.
This Is "the faith once delivered to
the saints," the hope set before us In
the Gospel, which1 sanctifies our hearts.

bankruptcy?" was asked in return,
"Is It as bad as that?"
"The Rang has us by the neck and
bos us scared. We have no leader."
A few weeks Inter, when ready to
take up his ministerial duties, Mr. Ste
vens asked to be sent to Newbern.
"Rut we have a minister there," was
replied.
"But he has lost oparly all of bis con
gregation." "Yes, the reports from that parish
are not at all choerinp, and I believe
Brother Baker would welcome a trans
fer. You know It's one of the hardest
towns In thn state."
"I have spent four days thera"
"The cause of rellgon Is reported as
very lukewarm."
"I didn't know that there was any
there at all," smiled the minister.
"Well, you'll be appointed to tbs
place. I hope you may stir things up."
The Rev. Mr. Stevens arrived. He
started out with a sermon that Jolted
and Jarred. He spared neither Chris
thin nor sinner. While he criticised
the former for Inck of backbone, he
plainly told the latter that the crbv
had come. The crisis meant decenc
and reform without any shame iltou,
it After the sermon he llneered to
talk with members of his congregation.
He found them looking forward with
groat timidity. If he started a crusade
ho must not exnect any active help from
them. They were thoroughly cowed.
"This Is to be a one man crusade,"
be answered them. "I did not expect
your aid, and so I'm not dlsaopolnted."
Monday morning the crusade open
ed. Mr. Stevens visited thn Bherlff,
and, without any beating around the
bush, he said:
"Sheriff, i am Hie new minister."
"VeV"

"1 am going for yonr crowd tooth
and toe nail."
"Why do yon call It my crowd?" was
asked.
"Because It Is Thore are violations
of the law every hour of the day, nd
yon stand by wlf,iiiit Interfere.
You drink In every snioon, nnd yon
eomradp with every lawbreaker. It's
the Rnme with your deputies and the
constables. It's got to stop. Yo" hav
got to do your sworn duty."
"Another reformer struck the town,
nh?" was the Insulting reply.
The sheriff went from saloon to sa
loon and laughed at the reformer and
said there should be no luterfernce
from him Within two weeks" he was
removed mid another man named by
the niliilster was In Ills shoes, t'bfl
Citizens of Newbern were tunned. It
seemed Incredible
The Hev. Mr. Stevens visited the lus
tlce In his siiKnin and 8"td:
"It's for you to enfwe the law. and
here yoe are among the InwhreakersI
The others are depending upon yoi to
dismiss any complaint marie against)
them. What course are you golug to
taker . . -
"Nmie of your business!"
The next day the minister complain
ed of nine saloons which hart violated
the law. Kadi one of them was dis
missed Inside of tvJeuty days the old
Justice was nut and a new one la
There were ordinances against Sun
day sports They had not been "in
forced In five years. . Tbey came to
the front now. No more bnseball or
horse racing.
"Beat the meddler upl" was whisper
ed, and a shake purse was made np
to reward a scrapper for doing It.
He started out with great ardor to
make a two minute Job of It, but it
lasted only half that time. The min
ister knocked Mm out with a Jab on
the Jnw and then had him arrested and
fined for disorderly conduct
Then a public meeting was called at
a hall, and tho minister did some tall
talking. He put heart into the decent
citizens so strongly that they came
out boldly to his support, and the op
position saw that their cause was lost
One thing mora The Rev. Mr. Bte
veils from bis pulpit raked the citi
zens of Newbern as they bad never
heard a minister talk before. They
owed a duty to God aud to man. They
must show up at church, whether they
were Christians or not Tbe 8unday
school must be resurrected. There
must be church work. Religion and
politics must mix until every office In
the county was filled by a decent man.
The devil had had possession of New
born long enough. Now he must be
knocked down and dragged out
There was no devil there a yenr
later. A stranger stopping at tbe inn
of a Sunday would have looked around
Mm and mused:
"A clean town a nice town a re
spectable town. Everybody seems to
be going to church, and I guess I'll
go ailing too."
