TELLS OF
PLANNED
In discussing the possible useful
ness of the Oregon City Federation of
Churches at the Congregational
Church Sunday evening Rev. George
Nelson Edwards said in part:
The marked tendency of the Pro
testant Churches all over the conti
nent to get together Is one of the
signs of the times. In Canada the
Presbyterian, Methodist and Congre
gational Churches are on the eve of
organic union. In the United States
thirty one leading denominations
have formed a Federation which
held its; 'second quadrenniel meeting
in Chicago last month. It is a denom
ination not of exact agreement in
creed or in church order but of wil
lingness to work together for common
ends. The emphasis in the modern
church is upon service. Christian
people are looking around them to
see what they can do to make the
world a better place to live in. They
believe that if the Lord's Prayer
''Thy Kindom come, thy will be done
on earth" is to be answered we must
pray it together and also work to
gether for its accomplishment.
It is a work that calls for the larg
est faith for it believes that there is
a heaven where the will of God is
done tnd that the earth can become
heavenlike. It is a faith that lays
hold of practical problems with the
hope of a Christian solution, remem
bering that "The church becomes
worthless for its higher purpose when
it deals with conditions and forgets
character, relieves misery and is
nodes sin, pleads for justice and un
dervalues forgiveness."
The Federation of Churches stands
for a levival of real Christianity in
the American churches. It stands
for the economy and right direction
of spiritual forces. The Home Mis
sion Council representing nine prmo
inent denominations has made a sur
vey of fifteen western states'. Dr.
Barnes, of the Baptist Home Mission
ary Society, who wrote its report to
the Council at Chicago, said: "In
Christianizing America men cannot
speculate themselves into eternity,
nor vitalize themselves into eternity,
nor ecclesiasticize themselves into
.eternity. But they can do what is
infinitely more important they can
work together in establishing the rule
of Christ in all hearts and all society.
Uniformity is a will-of-the-wisp. Effi
ciency is the clear call of God. Ac
tion together is possible at the mo
ment For that not a single convic
tion needs to be sunk nor shaded.
Nothing is necessary except frater
nal planning "in a spirit of mutual
forbearance and kindness."
The local federation stands then for
good will and practical cooperation
anions the churches of Oregon City.
It believes there is a substantial un
ity of faith and purpose which only
needs to be demonstrated by our
works. It will render possible not
only occasional union meetings but
a patient study of social conditions
and an honest effort to better ttiem
together. Some there are who, mis
takenly, believe that the church
stands for things as they are. "It
does not stand for the present social
order tut only for so much of it as
accords with the principles laid down
by Jesus Christ."
The federation of churches in Ore
gon City can become a medium
through which other associations
whose purposes are philanthropic
can be coordinated. It will be willing
to work with other civic bodies which
are non-political for the public good.
It may, by its various committees,
secure an expression of public opin
ion on subjects which need to be
illuminated. It is not a body of men
to dictate other peoples' business
but a lepresentative body to shed
light on our own business.
Through its committees on temper
ance, social service, social .hygiene
and others it can study the soci-il
conditions of the city with a view to
remedying the evils of poverty, sick
ness, vice and crime and removiug
their causes. It has been propesed
to make a social survey of the city
in order to know the actual facts
about our population and various in
stitutions. If anyone wants to make
this city better by living in it he
needs tc know what kind of a place
he lives in.
Several abortive attempts have
been made to secure playgrounds for
the children and a swimming tank.
Is the fact we have none due to our
lack of children, our indifference ov
to our peculiar inability to supply
what so many cities have?

ful study and effective action. Ore
gon City has got more than its pro
portion of saloons and it has yet to
be proven that any of them are nec
essary. Simply to eliminate them,
however, does not solve the prob
lem of how to deal with the men and
boys on the street. To meet the le
gitimate needs of hundreds of men
employed in Oregon City there 13
need of the generous cooperation and
collective wisdom of all interested ir.
their own and the other fellow's wel
fare A community like this ought
to be able to work out plans for a
community house, a place of decent,
safe and attractive resort for all
kinds of people right on or near Main
Street and containing at least a gen
eral reading room, lunch room, and
rest room for women and if possible
a hall for social and religious meet
ings, a gymnasium for both boys and
girls and for business men and such
an institution would take away the
reproach of the citythat there is uo
public provision for the men on he
street and no place for young men to
go but the saloons or the pool rooffi3.
The usefulness of the federation
will depend on the success its work
ers have in securing the cooperation
of good citizens, and the fearlessness
and sanity with which its committees
study the problems before them. It
certainly offers a promise and a
means of bringing about some of
those conditions of moral and phys
ical cleanliness and beauty which
every Christian city ought to have and
which intelligence, persistant effort
and public spirit are sure to establish.

TO MEET WITH REBUFF.
Ball Players Not Likely to Get Half
Pay on Training Trips.
The demjind for pay during the train
ing season which is to be made by the
Baseball Players' Protective associa
tion is sure to meet with n stiff re
fusal by the club owners. The clubs
stand the expense of tbe training sea
son so as to fit the players for their
work. If there were no training period
a majority of the players would report
unfit to do their work and when in.
that condition could not command their
salaries.
It is estimated that at present the
two major league clubs spend at least
$200,000 every spring getting their play
ers ready for the season, wheu. In fact,
they could demand that tbe men report
to them in condition to do their work
at the time the season opiMis. Fortu
nately, these absurd demands are not
being made by the players, but by
David Fultz. who has had himself
placed at the head of the players' union.

Charles Daniels, the retired Ameri
can champion amateur swimmer, is
now living in Buffalo, where he is en

SAID SHE

Mrs. Delia Long Unable to Stand
On Her Feet More Than a Few
Minutes at a Time.
Pendergrass, Ga. Mrs. Delia Long,
of this place, in a recent letter, "says:
"For five or six years, I suffered agon
ies with womanly troubles.
Often, I couldn't sit up more than a
few minutes at a time, and if I stood
on my feet long, I would faint
I took Cardui, and it helped me im
mediately. Now, I can do my work all
the time, and don't suffer like I did."
Take Cardui when you feel ill in any
way weak, tired, miserable, or under
the weather. Cardui is a strength
building tonic medicine for women.
It has been found to relieve pain and
distress caused by womanly troubles,
and is an excellent medicine to have on
hand at all times.
Cardui acts on the womanly consti
tution, building up womanly strength,
toning up the nerves, and regulating
the womanly organs.
Its half- century of success is due to
merit. It has done good to thousands.
Will you try it? It may be just what
you need. Ask your druggist about
Cardui. He will recommend it
