Beaoty and Symctry of the Illble la
New (ul.
On a recent Hunday morning Key. A.
J.Montgomery, paatorof the Presby
terian church, preached a sermon on
number in the bible, of which the follow
ing is a synopsii:
The text was I'salm 147 A, "lie tell
eth the number of the stars," and Matt.
10:.'0, "The Tery hairs of your head are
all numbered."
Modern astronomy, by the aid of pho
tography, has demonstrated that the
number of stars is almost beyond com
pulation. No one has aeiioasly at
tempted to number the tiairs of the head.
Yet these things are known to God.
If he is (Jod, then he must necessarily
have perfect knowledge of all things,
and perfect knowledge implies that all
distance be computed, all bulk measured
! and weighed and every individual nurn-
! bered.
j Nature is built on the numerical
principle. The science of chemistry is
based on the well-know fact that atoms
combine in neyer-varying numerical
proportions. Eleven is the number of
music. To produce the first note of the
scale, do, requires 2(A vibralions per
second. There is an interval between
each of the seven notes of the scale and
that interval is always a multiple of 11.
Three is the number of the bee. The
exit is hatched in 3 days, is fed 3x3 days,
reaches maturity in 5x3 days. Its body
is composed of 3 sections, has 2x3 legs,
the foot is composed of 3 sections, the
antennae has 3x3 sections, the nting bas
3x3 barbs on each side. It bas 2x3 wax
scales and makes a honey cell with 2x3
siiji-s. In like manner, four is the num
ber of the oak and five of the apple
The same numerical principle per
vades the entire bible. Wherever num
ber is used in connction with divine or
religious things it has significance. It
is possible by the use of scientific meth
ods t accurately determine this signifi
cance. Three is the number of God. There
are three persons in the Godhead, the
four creatures in heaven cry, "Holy,
thrice, once for each of the Trinity ; there
are three orders of spiritual beings,
namely, angels, cherubim and seraphim.
God spoke from heaven to Christ while
on earth three times ; at the baptism, on
the mount of transfiguration and when
the Greeks came to see him. Christ
lias three offices; prophet, priest and
king. There are on earth three wit
nesses to Christ) the Holy Spirit, the
water of baptism and the Lord's supper.
Three is in a marvelous-way the number
of the resurrection and crucifixion. The
Savior was crucified at the third hour,
darkness was over the earth three hours,
at the end of 3x3 hours be expired, there
were three crosses, and three inscrip
tion on the atoning cross. On the third
day Christ arose from the dead. While
on earth he raised from death three per
sons, namely, son of the widow of Nam,
daughter of Jairus and Lazarus.
Seven is the number of spiritual per
fection. God rested on the seventh day,
wherefore be set it apart to be a Sab
bath of rest to man. In these latter days
God has restored the Sabbath to its
original time in relerence to man; thai
is, the day in which he rested, while
it was the seventh counting from the
beginning of creation, yet as a matter of
tact, it was man's first day of existence.
The Jews were to observe the seventh
day, but we are restored to the primeval
day, which is the first ot the week. The
number seven is used as a type of Christ
in the Hebrew ritual. The seventh
month was very holy, being ushered in
with the feast of trumpets, signalized by
the celebration of the feast of taber
nacles and containing the great and mys
terious day of atonement. . The seventh
year was sabbatical. The 7x7 year was
the year of Jubilee. There were seven
deacons in the apostolic church.
Epistles are by the Holy Spirit addressed
to seven churches. In the judgment
there are seven angels who carry out
God's decrees, seven trumpets and seven
seals. The Abrahamic covenant of our
salvation was sevenfold.
Ten is the number of ordinal perfec
tion. Whenever it is used in the holy
writ it signifies that the order of the
thing to which it is applied is perfect.
Thus it is to be expected that the law
of the Lord which is perfect
should be expressed in ten command
ments, and the Lord's prayer, which is
our perfect model of supplication, should
contain ten clauses. The tithes denoted
God's period claim to all we have and
are. There were ten plagues, showing
that God is perfect in judgment, as well
as in righteousness. On ten occasions
fire came miraculously down from
heaven. There are ten parables of the
kingdom, wherein the kingdom is lik
ened to something well known to man.
There were ten virgins in the parable,
thereby signifying that the number of
God's people is perfect. There are ten
"I ams" of Jesus, such as "I am the
the door," etc,
Twelve is the number of governmental
perfection. The cxliac is divided into
twelve signs, and this division comes.
from the greatest antiuuity. The circle,
among all peoples, is divided into 30x12
degrees. There were twelve patriarchs,
who founded tribes, showing the perfec
tion of the Jewish tribal government.
There were twelve judges. One Is not
astonished, then, that Christ names
twelve, no more, no less, apostle. It
thereby teaches us the governmental
perfection of the church of the living
God. In heaven there are are 2x12
elders before the throne. There were
twelve gems on the breastplate of the
high priest. There are twelve founda
tions of the New Jerusalem. The tree
of life bears twelve manner of fruits.
Christ could ha e summoned to his aid
twelve legions of angels, because the
government of heayen is perfect.
Pastor Montgomery drew two leasons
from this remarkable fact of the nse of
number in scripture. First, we must
admire and study the word ot God. It
is wonderfully inspired. It will stand
the most severe investigation. It has
been on trial for ages, and the passing
centuries have only added proof to its
divine origin. Second, if it be true that
the hairs of our heads are all numbered
we must trust God's knowledge and love.
Whatever comes to us is for our good.

Some Comments About Oregon City aud
The Sorthwest Generally.
While enroute home the members of
the California Press association passed
resolutions of thanks to the citizens along
their route for courtesies extended and
especially to the board of trade of Oregon
City for making their stay here so plea
sant. From the Hedding Free Press
the following is taken :
"On Saturday afternoon we took the
Southern Pacific train for home stopping
a couple of hours at Oregon City that we
might vytit the paper mills and electric
light plant, which gives to Portland its
light and power. The paper mills,
located at the falls of the Willamette, is
a credit to Oregon. Here great logs are
cut np and ground Into pulp from which
most of the pajer used by newspapers ef
California as well as Oregon is obtained.
Why California, with plenty of the same
kind of timder, and abundant water
power, cannot snccessiull manufacture
herowu paper is a question that our
slow-going capitslists ought to solve. It
was stated that during the trial of Durrant
so great was the demand for the San
Kranisco papers that the capacity of the
mill at Oregon City was doubled.
''Speaking ol home enterprise we vis
ited the factory of the Portland cracker
company, and were surprised to learn
that at least one-half of their orders came
from the Golden state.
"A suspension bridge crosses the Will
amette at Oregon City, and besides the
paper mills, they have a large woolen
factory and cement works.
"Finally, we must say that the north
west is a wonderful country of large
possibilities and resources. It is the
best watered country we ever visited
while the people have not yet recovered
from the collapse that followed the boom,
and are struggling to pay the debts con
tracted during the boom times, yet with
such splendid resources the state of
Washington must press forward to pros
perity and plenty, and as for Portland,
Bhe is well able to take care of hersnlf,
peopled as she is with men of energy and
business sagacity."
The Greatest Nation On Earth.
' "The value of timber yearly cut in the
United States is double that of the output
of all our mines" ; "One-third of the pop
ulation of this country are church mem
bers"; "It costs $6t8.32 every minute
during the year to run our Government" ;
"Cnole Sam's farms constitute one-fifth
of the National wealth"; "Nearly one-
half of the 8,000,000,000, letters making
up the worlds annual mail, belong to the
United States." These are but instances
of the thousands of wonderful facts about
every phase of the life and progress of
our country, from an illustrated article
on "The Greatest Nation on Earth,' by
llham George Jordan, to appear in the
July number of The Ladies Home Journal.
The article pictures, in a novel way.
America's vast area, her matchless re
sources, boundless wealth, tier marvelous

j Nuccessful Musical and t'lnaclal
Event for the Y. M. C. A.
One of the most pleasing musical
events given in On-gon City for some
time past was the concert at the Congre
gational church Tuesday evening by tl
Y, M. C. A. chorus, aisisted by Oregon
City and Portland talent.
The program was under the manage
ment of Mrs. J. II. Strickler and it waa
carried out without a hitch or fault, and
reflected much credit upon Mrs. Strick
ler, who has shown herself to be a
director of more than average ability.
The thirty-seven voices in the Y. M. C.
A. chorus, blended very harmoniously
and their time was very good, and their
rendition was excellent, considering that
many of the singers were young people
who had had little experience on the
stage. This chorus, though organized
bul a few months, has nnder the direc
tion of Mrs. Strickler, taken rank as a
musical organization that ia an honor
to Oregon City, and a credit to the young
ladies and gentlemen composing it.
The program for the evening opened
with "On the Sea" a selection from
"Mendelsshon", which was given in a
spirited manner by the chorus. This
was followed by a solo, "Beware" from
Perring, by Mrs. Strickler, which waa
sung in this lady's most pleasing style.
MissGwilt, of Portland, then favored
the audience with a solo, which earned
for the singer a bearty encore, to which
she bowed her acknowledgements.
The next number was a solo by Dr. J.
II. Miller, which was rendered in very
g'Xd shape.
A pleasing varation to the program
was Indian club swinging by Mitis Anna
Bebb, and so graceful did the young
lady go through the intricate movements
that she was greeted with the most hearty
applaue. A solo and chorus was then
given by Mrs. Strickler and her singers
which won for them hearty applause.
Miss Uwilt agiin favored the audience
with one of her charming solos which
greatly delighted the audience. A trio
by Mrs. Olson, Mrs. Ganong and Mrs.
Strickler, came next and those well
known and favorite singers ot Oregon
City were received with every mark of
favor by the audience. The Indian
club swinging of Prof. Frank Brows, the
well-known athlete of Portland elicited a
generous applause. Miss Kate Wards
in a well rendered solo gave evidence
that she was one of the rising young
singers of Oregon City. The evening-
j entertainment cloeed with
duet by
Mrs. Strickler and Mattie Draper the
chorus being carried by the class, which
was received by the audience in such a
manner as to prove that it was one of
the best numbers of the program.
Owing to illness, Miss Minnie Kuertia
was nnable to be present and give the
solo for which she was announced, and
the solo by Mr. Quackenbush, had to be
ommitted, owing to this gentleman hav
ing been called to California. The piano
accompaniments were given by Miss
Mattie Draper in a well executed style.
The proceeds of the evening wll be
applied toward the expenses of maintain
ing the Y. M. C. A. rooms and the
management of the institution feel
under nianv obligations to those who
took part in the entertainment tor the
generous help.
The Declaration of lndepeudance.
In an historical article recalling the
destruction of our National capital by the
British forces in lSH.Clifford Howard in
the July Ladie's Home Journal will bIiow
that Dolly Madison, the most beloved
and popular woman of her day, waa cour
ageous and fearless in the face of grave
danger. In the mad stampede - from
Washington that preceded the invasica
by the British troops, Dolly Madison
was the last to seek safety in flight, and
her final act before quitting the White
House, as the enemy advanced, was to
seize the' Declaration of Independence
and carry it with her to a place of safety.
As the White House was Immediately
afterward looted and burned by the Brit
ish, Mr. Howard declares that but for
brave Dolly Madison the priceless parch
ment would baye been destroyed.
