Mr. Skncrsrs, At the First Baptist Church last even ing Rev. Alexander Blackburn preached on "The Mission of Man." He took his text from Luke xix:10: "For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost." He said in part: "This is Christ's defense for going Into the house of Zaccheus. It also answers the question that arises in every though ful mind, Why did the Incarnate Son of God corn into the world? It is a very old question, and one would think It had been sufficiently answered to require noth ing further, were it not for the fact that there seems, even now, to bo so much confusion concerning Christ and his mis sion. ' "Assuming what all are now ready to ad mit, that Jesus was a great teacher, and that he fills a large place In the world, we must also assume that he was a man of wisdom and veracity. He used the words of our text, and he knew their meaning. I ask you, with me, to study them carefully and fairly. "Note first the title which he gives him self, 'Son of man.' He uses this of him self mor than forty times. Less than ten times he calls himself 'tho Son of God.' Others called him The Son of God' and 'The Son of David.' "All these are true designations of Je sus, and are full of significance. In call ing himself 'Son of Man.' here, he asserts his relation to the race, and that in a Jewish heme, and to a company of Jews. True, he was a Jew, the son of the beauti ful Jewess, Mary. But God gave his Son to the whole race. Hi3 only father was the Father of the race, and so he Is not the son of a man, but the Son of the Father of all men, and so the brother of all. Jew by human descent, but a man by God's gift. Fulfilling the Jewish prophe cies to the full as their Messiah, he is not a Jew In his characteristics. He was worldwide In his sympathies. He finds a response in the love of men of all ages and races. His teachings are of universal application. His promises fit Into the lives of all men everywhere. Who ever heard any one say, as a reason for put ting away one of Jesus' teachings, 'Oh.but you know Jesus was a jew?" The Ser mon on the Mount might have been preached In Paris, or London or Boston, as well as In Galilee. His parables are today used with as much effect In India and Africa and China as they had In Pal estine. Ho was the Son of man, and, therefore, took on him the peculiarities of no branch of the race. "He Is vour brother and mine as much as he was the brother of James and Jude, and the sisters born to Mary after his corning as her first-born. But the 'Son of man came.' His pre-exlstence is not for a moment denied when he takes this title. Indeed, he says In John 111:13: 'And no man hath ascended up to Heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man, which is In heaven.' Je sus, the Christ, Is not an evolution of humanity, nor Is he the natural product of the race, but he Is a visitor to the race, and that for a specific purpose. He is the Son of man because he chooses to be. William Cary, the great missionary to India, was not an evolution of India. He did not grow out of India. Of his own will he came to India, and he came for a purpose. Even so the Son of man. "That purpose was to seek and to save that which Is lost. In John he puts it thus: 'God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world, through him, might be saved.' Christ came not to save a few lost peo ple, but to save what Is lost In the world. And what was lost? The right of knowledge of God was lost. Everywhere men were feeling after God If haply they might find hlrn. The nations that were uuiieu uiviuseu were wuisiuymjj uiu gods of Greek and Roman mythology. To these they gave attributes unworthy tho most degraded of men. The barbarians had no conception of a God of truth and Justice and love. Even the Jews were in darkness as to the God of their fath, ers. Jesus sought and saved to the world the notion of a God worthy of the wor ship of man. That idea of God expressed in the phrase, 'The Supreme Being,' so much used in the lodges and brotherhoods and In general speech, was saved to the world by the Son of man. "He sought and saved to the world a high standard of living, which was lost. True, Confucius In China, Budha in In dia, Socrates In Greece, and Marcus Au rellus In Rome, had given precepts that, if kept, would have made a high morality possible, but no one who has studied the conditions of the moral world for a mo ment claims that these were recognized as standards of living. The world was seeth ing In the most debased and debasing Im morality. Woman was worse than a slave Corruption in public office was the rule, and human life was held at the mercy or whim of the most petty ruler. Drunkenness and bribery and licentious ness were everywhere. Even among tho Jews there was robbery and oppression In the highest places. Jesus came to seek and find a high plane of every-day living. "He came to seek and save a way of soul-peace and hope The best of men like Nlcodemus were In darkness, and were ready to listen to one who could speak with authority concerning the fu tuio life. He saved to the world the way of salvation that satisfies the yearnings of the mind and heart. Say what you will of the old doctrines of regeneration and faith In the Son of God, they are the only doctrines that have stood the test of time and trial. With Justin, the mar tyr of the second century, men in all the Christian centuries have said, 'O thou Christ, my soul finds no rest till I rest In thee. "But In seeking and saving to the world thl3 knowledge of God, this standard of morals, this way of peace and hope, tho Son of man sought and found men. His missloi was not to deal In abstract truth. He himself was truth Incarnate, and his mission was to Incarnate truth in others. He not only reveals God. he reveals hlm Belf to the believer. In Christ we come to know God. In him we cry, 'Aba, Father! He ha3 opened the way through the veil; that Is to say, his flesh. He not only shows us the way of high living by pre cept and example, he enables men to live noble Uvea. He saves the standard and the man to bear the standard. The most precious truth of all Is, 'the Son of man seeks and saves lost men, and is able and willing to save you tonight." SERMON ON GOD'S WILL. Morniner Theme of Rev. W. S. Gilbert a.t Calvary Presbyterian. At the morning service at the Calvary Presbyterian Church. Rev. W. S. Gilbert preached on the theme, "God's Will." His text was from Matthew vl:10, "Thy will be done In earth, as It Is in heaven," and Luke xxii:42, "Not my will, but thine, be done." He said: "Man has an lnnato consciousness of God. It Is the highest height of man's life; the highest thought of man is his thought concerning God. Man may think of God as afar off, as the unknowable but the world's best thought today is of God as very near, and as Father to us all. Man may say, Oh, yes, there is a God a controlling force a universal pres ence, an Intelligence, an Imminent Deity, but the best thought is of God as a per son, and as a Father to us all. Man may fancy that God simply manifests himself in law and rules by fate. But the best thought Is that, while there is law and order, there is also a plan, a purpose, a will. We may think of God's will as only for great things, and that his will takes no note of the tiny creature But the best thought Is that God notes even the fall of the sparrow; that he loves his creatures and cares for them even as the earthly father cares for his children. "What God's will Is ought to be the su preme desire of every creature Harmony with God's will, the making of God's will our own, ought to be the aim and ideal of all mankind. Christ, who better than all others leads us, made the doing of God's will the first thing. When he taught the world to pray, he uttered the petition! Thy "will be done in earth.' It Is the Lord's prayer In the Sermon on the Mount. In the great struggle of his life he offered the same prayer, If possible, let the cup pass, but thy will be done' This Is the Lord's prayer In Gethsemane Even though in Buffering and anguish of heart, still the Bupreme purpose o his life was the burden of his desire that God'B will might be done. In health or in sickness. In work or in trial. In joy or In sorrow, in all. his great desire was to do the will of God. Men sometimes in afflic tion say Thy will be done as if God were afflicting, and they were willing to stand it if need be God sent Paul to preach to the Gentiles. He willingly en dured every trial and affliction, but held always first In his life the great work to which he was sent. So to us the appeal comes to make first in our life that high est possibility of doing God's will. What ever God desires us to do, whatever prom ises highest good to men, whatever is clearly right, whatever is duty, to this let us set our heart. "We cannot always know what the specific will of God may be There are other things that have a part. By our own wills, either lgnorantly, or carelessly, or wantonly, we may bring suffering upon ourselves, or another man may bring calamity upon us. or second causes may bring us misfortune An engineer may fall to see a signal; the train may be wrecked and untold suffering be brought upon Innocent lives. God has not willed it so. It has been against his will. But unless man were destroyed, his will must be free. So we may not always see what God brings upop us, and what comes from other sources. These things, how ever, we do know: Whatever God does Is for good. God's will Is not heartless, but Ib full of love; not arbitrary but full of wisdom, and further we know that God brings good for us even out of our ca lamities and sorrows. A parent would save his child from all sickness or pain. If he could, without destroying the child. But the child eats poison and suffers; the parent does not forsake the child, but does everything that can be done for the best interests of the child. So our heav enly Father hath compassion and helpsi his children, and does for them what Is best. Why, then, does he not heal the blind? Why does he not miraculously re store the treasure tho merchant has lost? Why does he not make whole the drunk ard? Why does he not let us thrust our hand Into the fire without being burned? Why are pain and suffering allowed to be? Then there would be no law but chaos; no character gained by overcom ing temptation. If suffering of any kind, material, physical or mental, has come upon us, we are assured of two plain facts: By means of these things, we may gain real spiritual blessing, and also that If It be for the best In God's great plan, our sickness will be healed. Paul prayed three times, and earnestly, for the re moval of the thorn In the flesh. It was not removed, but he was granted added grace to endure It, and he came to glory In his Infirmity, for It was a source of greater Bplrltual power. There Is much ado In these days about healing, falth heallng, mental-healing, and all that. And It Is natural that to suffering humanity the physical Ills should seem the all-Important thing. God's will Is for good. and he doeth all things well, and he will heal our woes in so far as is best. Wo are frail. The flesh does not' endure for ever. However perfectly we might obey the laws of health, however long we may prolong our days, yet we do grow old, and in the fullness of time we return to dust. The perishing things are not the more Important. Let us make first In our life the doing of God's will. Disobedience to God's will has brought a long train of sorrow and suffering. Obedience Is the antidote. If God's will were done on earth, then would harmony be whero dis cord Is and love where selfishness Is su preme, and the law of mart's heart would be the will of God. Perfect obedience to a perfect will would be perfect liberty." CHRISTIAN UNION. Rev. A. I). Skncrc- Urges Churches to 1 Ait In Harmony. Rev. A. D. Skaggs, pastor of the Chris tian Church, corner of Rodney avenue and Knott street, Upper Alblna, preached a vigorous and effective sermon yesterday morning on the subject, "Christian Un ion." speaking from Epheslans, lv:4, "There Is one body and one spirit." Mr. Skaggs Is an old soldier, and has a plain, direct way of expressing himself. After the stirring music from a fine choir of trained voices he delivered his sermon. He prefaced his remarks by saying he noticed that some of the members were absent worshiping God in another church, where the pews were provided with handsome cushions and there were elegant surround ings, and expressed the wish that they would worship there with as much humil ity as they would while sitting on the un cushloned chairs of their own church. Mr. Skaggs then took up the subject of his sermon, saying In substance: "I regard this subject one of the most significant that can be selected at this time 'Christian Union.' It means a grpat deal fo rthe world and for this city. What a power there would be In this city for the enforcement of law If there were Christian union In Portland, but here we have constant violation of law with Im punity. There Is no union of purpose, and the evils go on unchecked, much to our shame, that might be crushed were there greater union among the churches for the suppression of vice and the enforcement of law. Fortunately, there Is one com mon ground of agreement. The churches agree there Is one supreme God, one Je sus, one Holy Spirit. We can agree on that point, at least. Here is where there Is agreement. We, Methodists, Baptists, Christians and PresbyterlanB, have the same Bible, and believe In It and Its won derful teachings, and accept It as tho. same guide-post, but the disagreement Is wholly on outside points that have noth ing to do with the salvation of men. We disagree about the non-essentials. How many churches have the same method of admitting members into church fellow ship, and yet accept the same Bible? It Is this disagreement that retards the Bpread of the Gospel, 'Why not sweep it all aside and unite In Christian union? One can worship God In any church If In the right spirit. You can worship God In the Baptist, the Presbvterlan, or any of the churches If in the right spirit All In telligent Christians accept the one saving Christ, and so there should be union In all lines of Christian work. Cartloads of books have been written about the dif ferences and disagreements of Christians, who accept the same Christ and the same Bible, when there are really no grounds for disagreement Let us stand together for Christian union and for the salvation of the world and enforcement of law."

OLYMPIA, Wash., Jan. 13.-In his bi ennial report to the Legislature, Fish Commissioner A. C. Little says: "The year 1900 shows a material increase In all points over any previous year with the exception of 1899. Compared with this year, the total value of the output shows a decrease of fully 30 per cent, while the capital increase was close to 10 per cent The amount of labor employed and the earnings from same show no material change The loss over the previous year Is confined wholly to the Puget Sound district, and is due to the decrease in the salmon pack and fresh-fish output for this district This' "was an off year for the humpback salmon as well as the sock eyes, the humpbacks running every other year. "The Columbia River district shows a slight decrease In the amount of raw ma terial taken, but higher prices prevailing, the total value of the output increased over 10 per cent, the earnings of labor employed receiving a major portion of this Increase. In the Gray's Harbor dis trict a cannery that has been idle for some seasbns was operated, and the sal mon pack shows an Increase of eome 12, 000 cases. To the better prices prevailing is due a considerable amount of the In crease In the value of the output On Wlllapa Harbor the conditions are very similar to that of 1S99. the better prices received making up tho loss In the amount of shellfish output, the total value of the product being somewhat Increased. Con ditions In the Columbia River, Willapa Harbor and Gray's Harbor districts are in what might be termed a settled condi tion, the run of salmon and other fish not having materially increased or de creased. f "The higher prices for the raw and manufactured product generally prevail ing will undoubtedly be the cause of more activity In every district In the state In the salmon business for the coming year. A larger run of sockeye salmon than that of 1900 Is expected, and we are certain of a fair run of humpbacks, which form a very Important portion of the entire pack. All circumstances being taken Into con sideration, the prospects for 1901 are very good. Logging; Dams. "A serious menace to the fishing Indus try In many localities are the loggers' dams built for the purpose of storing water for splashing or driving their logs down the streams. A large amount of water Is accumulated in the ponds, and as much of It as possible Is turned loose at once, raising the water In the streams some four or five feet, and la this man ner carrying the logs and other timber over the shallow places In the river. "The constant use of these dams on cer tain streams has driven the salmon en tirely out of them. The cause of this Is the action of the water In tearing up the spawnlng-beds in some places, and In oth ers covering them to a considerable depth with gravel and sediment. On at least three of the streams on which we now have hatcheries in operation dams have been or soon will be built, which are cer tain to be very destructive to the fisheries Interests In these localities. "While we understand that the promo tion of the logging .industry is necessary to the material interests of the state, it is also true that everything should be done to lessen the Injury that will be wrought with the appliances as above de scribed. The Legislature should enact a law providing that during the spawning season of the fish and until the same have been hatched and are able to take care of themselves these dams should not be used. Especially should the law provide that on the streams where our hatcheries are In operation these logging dams should not Interfere with our work dur ing the season that we are taking the fish for hatchery purposes. Unless this Is done on several streams on which we are now operating the work already done will have been thrown away, and. It will be Impossible for us to properly handle our station In the future. Sawdust Thrown In the Sound. In our last report we called attention to the Immense amount of refuse deposited In the sound by the saw and shingle mills. This evil Is Increasing year by year, and the waste of fish, life also con stantly increasing. Large beds of clams and the spawning grounds of immense numbers of smelt, herring and other food fish, have been destroyed by deposits of sawdust and mill refuse, greatly de creasing the supply of these fishes in many localities. A stringent law should be enacted prohibiting this evil, as not only Is It an Injury to the fishing Indus try, but to navigation as well. Any per son familiar with the conditions on tho Sound well knows that large masses of this waste, acres In extent, may be found on the routes of any of the steamboat lines and even causing serious trouble to navigation. Down on Carp. "The evil results of the lack of Informa tion in regard to the proper kinds of fish that should be Introduced Into our streams Is becoming apparent to all. In many of the Eastern States stringent laws have lately been passed prohibiting the impor tation into the state of carp and several other varieties of fish. Dally we receive communications from different portions of the state asking that we use our in fluence to obtain carp for the stocking of private ponds. These fish are as near worthless as. a fish can be, and are not used for food by any one. They are prac tically worthless for any purpose, being the poorest fish that swlm3 for the pur pose of making fertilizer, the purpose for which the poorer qualities of fish are used. In almost every county in the state may be found private streams and lakes, capable of producing many thou sand pounds annually of the choicest food fishes, that are now so full of carp that It Is nearly Impossible for any other class of flsri to exist The grave mistake that has been ,made In Introducing these fish will be better understood a few years hence, as It Is practically impossible to get rid of them by any known means. Indiana Privllesed Characters. "The general fisheries law passed by the last Legislature provides that any Indian residing In this state may take salmon or other fish by any means and at any time for the use of himself and family. The Attorney-General has advised us that, first, this clause does not apply to Indians who are citizens, and, second. It does not allow the Indians to violate the general fishing laws. However, 'the Indians have taken this clause to mean that they hdve a right to do as they please .with regard to the taking of salmon, and have built traps entirely across the rivers on which are located some of our hatcheries, and in one instance gave us so much trouble and delayed the run of fish up the stream to the extent that the hatchery located at this point was almost a complete fail ure for the season. 'This provision Instead of being a bene fit to he Indians has resulted In a loss to them, as on account of their attempt ing to fish In a manner and at times when the law prohibited the same, they have been put to considerable expense and have failed to get as many fish as they have under other clrcumstancea "This clause in the law should be re pealed. It has been the policy of this department to be very lenient with these people, and no trouble would ever have arisen with them had they not been Ill advised as to their rights under this statute "One very Important matter that here tofore has been entirely overlooked by the Legislature has been the need of cloao investigation in regard to the habits and life of the young salmon in our waters before they go down to the ocean. "A large number of persons engaged in the fishing industry have very erroneous ideas as to the habits and life of the young salmon. It has been impossible for this department to Investigate this except In a very limited way. In connection with our hatchery department we should have some person whose business It is to put in a large portion of his time in close Jn vestigatlon of this particular subject. It is a much disputed question as to whether the salmon stay for a considerable length of time In our streams after we turn them from the hatchery or after they reaoh a certain age In a natural way In the streams, or whether they at the age of 10 or 12 weeks descend the streams to tho salt water. More Money Needed. "Tho Legislature of 1S99 appropriated $47,750 for the maintenance of the now hatcheries authorized to be erected in 1S93 and 1900. The amount necessary to main tain these hatcheries was simply an es timate on my part, and experience has proved that I was considerably short In the amount required. Must Have Patrol Boats. "It will alwaysbe impossible for this department to dothe work necessary for the enforcement of tho law, on either tho Columbia River or Puget Sound, unless wr are nrovlded In both nlaces with a gasoline or steam launch of our own. At the time of year when most of our work should bo done, boats that can be leased are very scarce, and many times, even though we have the money to pay for the same, which In the past we have not had, we are unable to procure tho proper transportation In order to properly appre hend violators of the law. "I strongly recommend that a general law be passed prohibiting tho taking of salmon with any kind of fishing appliance except hook and line, commonly termed angling. In any of the streams of the state above tide water, with the one ex ception of the Columbia River. This pro hibition should apply to fishing with a hook attached to a pole, as Is practiced In very many of the Sound streams. I have been, creditably Informed that two men with this sort of fishing appliance have caught over 2000 salmon on their spawning beds within three days' time. After the salmon have been In the fresh water streams for a short time they de teriorate considerably and should be al lowed to ascend to the spawning beds without hindrance. The class of Ash caught are of very poor quality and have a bad effect on the trade. Sen Lions and Seals. ."It Is a well-known, fact that the sea lions and seals which Infest our waters, especially In the Columbia River district, destroy many thousands of fish each year. Often a fisherman, in taking In hla net, will find that a majority of them have been badly torn by f-eals or sea lions. "The fish commissions of California and Oregon have earnestly recommended to the Legislature that a bounty be placed nnn tVioao um nnimals. In my judg ement. It would be wise legislation to fol low their example. If the legislature oi Oregon should pass a law giving a bounty for the destruction of these Tpests on the Columbia River, Justice to our sister state would demand that we enact the same legislation. That eminent authority on fish and fish culture, David Starr Jordan, of Stanford University, has strongly rec ommended this legislation to the Legis lature of California. It is an undisputed fact that If we could destroy the parasites on salmon life, such as sea lions and cer tain classes of voracious fish, we would do as much for the Increase of these fish as It Is possible to do In any manner." Commissioner Little recommends: First That every resident of the state of the age of 16 years or over, hunting and killing wild game In the state of any kind or character, except wildcats, cou gars, wolve3 and coyotes, etc., shall pay an annual license fee of $1. Second That every nonresident hunting and killing wild game in the state shall pay an annual license fee of $10. Third That for each and every deer killed by a resident or nonresident, he shall pay to the state a fee of $1. Fourth For each and every elk killed by a resident or nonresident, he shall pay to the state a fee of $5. Mrs. L. C. Preston, of Ellensburg, died Saturday of ptomaine poisoning. Last Monday she opened a can of beans. She tasted them, and, concluding that they were not fit for food, threw them out to the chickens. She had. 15 chickens, and they all died. She became ill that day, her first sensation being a loss of sight; then partial paralysis set In, and finally the power of speech was destroyed by the closing of 'the throat. Notwithstanding these several afflictions, she suffered no pain. Only they who use it know the luxury of it. Pears' is the purest and best toilet-soap in all the world. THIS AD.

Dandruff Germ Thrives In It, as Well as In All Grease. A well-known Chicago hair specialist in vited the Inter Ocean reporter to come to his ofnee and see, under a microscope, how the germ that causes dandruff thrives in vaseline. The specialist said that all hair preparations containing grease, simply furnish food for the germs and help to propagate them. The only way to cure, dandruff is to destroy the germs, and the only hair preparation that will do that is Newbro's Herplclde "De stroy the cause, you remove the effect." Without dandruff no falling hair, no bald ness. Ask for Herplclde. It is the only destroyer of the dandruff germ. Prince Albert JT. 2. E. & W. Full Dress Shirts. B. & W.
