A Noted Lecturer and Preacher
Speaks in Oregon City
The Rev. William Spurgeon, D. D.,
a Chautauqua Lecturer and preacher,
well known on three continents, is
giving a series of addresses at the
Baptist Church this week, that he has
deliverid to audiences in the large
cities of Canada and Europe. He is
a brilliant speaker, and holds his au
diences spellbound from night to
night. On Sunday evening the Congre
gational church adjourned to the Bap
tist church to enjoy his address, and
every afternoon and evening despite
the rain, a large company of people
have turned out to hear him.
Dr. Spurgeon will speak every af
ternoon at 3:00 and every evening at

Dr. Spurgeon is a cousin of the
celebrated Charles Spurgeon, pastor
of the London Tabernacle, and is only
la little less famous than his great
namesake. His talks are rare treats,
and are listened to with appreciation
by an ever widening circle of hearers.
Meet Him With Smile
William Grisenthwaite, newly ap.
pointed sealer of weights and meas
ures, commenced his duties of inspec
tion of scales and measures Monday,
in company with State Sealer Buch-
til, of Salem, who assisted the first
day.
Mr. Grisenthwaite states that of
the many inspections made in the city
there have been only two or three
scales that he had to condemn; that
many of them varried only fractions
of ounces, some above and some be
low and were easily adjusted. The
county sealer says the city merchants
have in every instance welcomed in
spection and expressed a desire to
have their scales tested and made ac
curate.
Profits will go for civic improve

means a good play. Seats are now

FORCING FARMERS OUT.
Woodburn Independent Tells Story of
the Game they Go Against
A resident of Portland told us one
dav lately how the commission men of
that city manage to give we j.ariuur
who were peddling their produce
there the errand kibosh. The trick was
as easy as falling on a log.
The first step was to get me coun
cil to pass a "Sanitary" ordinance for-
biddim? the sale or diseased or un
sound fruit and vegetables, or those
affected with aphis or plant lice. The
next was to send out a squad of san
itary Dohcemen to see that the stutt
the farmers, sold from their wagons
was absolutely pure and wholesome,
Whenever these police inspected the
stuff the farmers sold from their wag
ons tney were sure to una some in
sects on the' cabbage or other vege
tables, or a brown spot or two on
the aoDles. or a wilted strawberry.
And then what do tney do but to pun
out their little squirt guns and shoot
a spray of coal oil all over the trucK. .
My informant tens me mat me
first dose doesn't have the desired ef-.
feet of keeping the farmers out of the
city with their stutt, the second never
fails. They appear to realize very
auicklv that they are not wanted
there. And these things not only com
pel the housekeepers of Portland to
r,av more for what they buy and make
the high cost of living higher for
them, but at the same time force the
farmers to sell their stuff direct to
them, when they can kerosene as
much of it as thev Diease to .enable
them to sell the rest for higher
Dnces.

committed in thy name. Woodburn

Personality of the Raiders.
Mortran's men have sometimes beeii
recklessly and unfairly classed with
those guerrilla bands who. waged war
more lu the spirit of vandals than of
organized and disciplined soldiers.
Their representative character as Ken
tucklans and Americans is shown by
the fact that the command embraced
the best youug men of Kentucky, many
of them graduates of the highest east
ern colleges nnd others of the same
class too young to be graduated.
Among the leaders were Colonel w.
C. P. Breclcenrldge. ITart Gibson of
Yale, at one time Morgan's adjutant
general: Colonel Grlggsby of an old
Virginia family and a graduate of the
University of Virginia, Colonel" Che
nault. Colonel Tucker, Lieutenant Colo
nel Cicero Coleman. Leroy Cluke. ex-
Governor James B. MeCrcary and
scores of others whose names became
prominent as active citizens.
True, Morgan was a raider, but only
a pioneer in the style of warfare which
the enemy waft glad to adopt later In
the war. Morgan took to it naturally
and because of his experience In the
Mexican war, where he had command
ed a company. Furthermore.- he bad
read of the ancient use of cavalry and
not of cavalry simply, but of mounted
infantry, which could move with the
speed of the wind.
When In the enemy's country one
man would hold the horses of four oth
ers while they dismounted to fight or
to carry on the work of bridge and
railroad destroying. The chief idea of
his campaigns was to cripple the ene
my by destroying his roads and bridges,
fighting' when necessary to cut a way
into the objective point or to save his
command in getting back home.

THE GOLDEN CALF.
Exodui 32:15-20, 30-35 Sopt. 21.
'Uttlt children, keep yourselvet from idolt."
1 John l.li.
HE Israelites experienced a
severe trial of faith and obedi
ence soon after entering Into
covenant relationship with
God. In this trial they failed utterly.
The Covenant wus broken. However,
after punishing them, God graciously
renewed the Covenant.
The circumstances of this testing are
part of this lesson. After making the
Covenant, Moses, by Divine direction,
ent up into Mt. Sinat, taking Joshua
with him. He was gone forty days.
His prolonged absence gave room for
the cultivation of faith, patience, trust
The Israelites remembered the try
ing experiences through which they
had passed. The
Egyptians were
behind them; the
Amalekltes might
renew their at
tack. What would
they do without
Moses, whose up
held handsbrought
them God's favor
and victory?
Here worldly
wisdom came m.
Aaron was per

from utter discouragement Apparent
ly they were unable to trust the God
whom they could not see. The lead
ers took counsel together and deter
mined to make a representative of
Jehovah an Image which the people
could use as an Instrument of worship.
We are not to suppose that the Is
raelites recognized the golden calf as
their God Jehovah, but used It merely
as a symbol, Just as the heathen use
their Idols as representations of their
gods, and as some Christians use the
crucifix not to worship, but to assist
faith and hold attention.
Today's lesson seems clearly to indi
cate that God was greatly displeased
with their symbolic representation of
Himself. One of His commands had
been,- "Thou shalt not make unto thee
ny graven image," to bow down be
fore It nnd worship It as a symbol.
Making the Golden Calf.
We are not to suppose that the calf
was made or solid metai. rrouuuiy
It was (nude of either clay or wood,
and then covered with molten gold,
which in turn was graven or tooled.
Having made the Idol, the people re
joiced in it us an evidence of God In
their midst, and gave themselves up to
a season of feasting and dancing.
After forty days, Moses came down
from the mount with the tables of the
Law. lie heard the people shouting,
nnd then beheld them worshiping the
golden calf. Moses. was justly angry;
for he was the mediator between God
and Israel the representative of both,
charged by God with the responsibil
ity of that nation, and he realized that
a serious crime against the Covenant
had been committed.
Moses dashed the tables of the Law
into fragments, indicating that the
Covennnt bad been broken. Armed
with Divine authority, be let fall upon
the people a" just penalty for their
ropld retrogression into sin. Then he
went to God In prayer, and besought
that, if the penalty of this sin was the
casting oft" of Israel, he might himself
be blotted out Instead.
Such patriotism as Moses here evinc
ed has surely not often been equaled
-loyalty both to Israel, as representa
tive and mediator, and also to God
"Keep Yourselves From Idols.''
Let us apply the lesson to Spiritual
Israel. After the Christian has left
the world, passed the bitter experi
ences of'Marah, had manifestations of
God's favor, partaken of the Bread
from Heaven, and entered Into full
covenant relationship with God there
comes a time when he must walk by
faith, not by sight. If ho falls to learn
this lesson, as did the typical Israelites,
It will be a serious matter.
This making of images which divert
and absorb our worship of God Is one
of Spiritual Is
rael's greatest
tests. The golden
calf which some
set up is business,
to which they sac
rifice both time
and energy. The
love of money and
of things which
money can pro
cure leads Into
Idolatry, and
Another Idol-Sectari. thereby breaks
anum. our covenant
Others Idolize the opposite sex. giv
ing all they possess for its favor and
fellowship. They make the great mis
take of worshiping the creature more
than the Creator, as the Apostle ex
plains In the book of Romans.
Still another idol is sectarianism,
against which St Paul warned the
Church. (1 Corinthians 3:3-8.1 The
same principle we may apply today.
If one suys. I am of Calvin, Luther,
Weslev. are these not evidences ol
carnality? Is there not serious danger
of worshiping the human Institutions
hearing these names, and thus of hav
ing something come between the Chris
tian and bis God?
Christendom's creeds are Christian
traditions respecting the Truth. God's
purpose evidently was that His people
should have no creed but the Bible as
a whole. Tbey were to search the
Scriptures daily, to ascertain God's
teachings, and thus to grow in grace
and knowledge. Christians should de
stroy their creeds, which misrepresent
