HONEST SKEPTICS
Topic of Bishop Hamilton's
Discourse at Saiem.
TRUTH IS MIXED WITH ERROR
Possibility That Christians Are Be
lieving: a Great Many Thins
About the Gospel That Arc
Jfot in the Gospel.
SALEM, Or., Oct. 4. j Special,) The
pulpit of the First Methodist Episcopal
Church in this city was occupied tpday
by Bishop J. W. Hamilton, who addressed
cn audience of ministers and laymen who
filled the large auditorium to the doors
atod many were turned away for lack of
cpmfortable standing room. The speak
er took as his text: "Are Not Abana
and Phorpar Rivers of Damascus Bet
ter Than All the Waters of Israel 7 May
I Not "Wash 1n Them and Be Clean?"
II Kings. 5; 12.
Bishop Hamilton related the story of
-Uaaman and the healing of his leprosy,
and said:
''It is because hp went and was cleansed
that I have chosen him as a type of the
men and women concerning whom I am
to speak. There is a class of mind in
.every community represented by no small
number of men and women, who are
professedly and honestly seeking for
truth and yet are opposed, and they
think honestly opposed, to Christianity
at least to the actually religious phases
of Christianity in which you and I be
lieve. This' class of mind I have Im
agined Is dearly typified In the charac
ter and life of the Syrian ruler.
"While I would not assume to stand
between them and the only wise God, as
did the prophet of old, I may strive to
act the part of the Syrian servants in
Baying: My father. If the prophet had
bid thee do some great thing, wouldst
thou not have done It? How much
rather then when he salth, "Wash and
be clean." '
"I have feared that as preachers we
have not always been careful to ac
knowledge what Is true in the opinions
of our opponents and that thereby we
have sometimes Increased rather than
dispelled the doubts of unbelievers. There
con be no disadvantage from the ac
ceptance of the truth wherever found.
The noblest .appeal addressed to unbe
lievers during the century came from a
jnan who began his apologetic task by
admitting that error is always a mixture
of truth and falsehood; nor can be over
come so long as the elements of truth
which it contains are unacknowledged
and not carefully separated from what
is false.
'There are a great many men In this
world who can't believe all things aright
and we must be satisfied if we can get
them to believe enough to be saved. It
may be that you and I are believing a
great many things about the gospel which
ere not in the gospel, and that some
day we will quit believing them.
"There Is great force In the circum
stances of men's lives to determine their
faith. Naaman was a Syrian by birth
and education, and he was scarcely more
eloquent than truthful when he said:
'Are not Abana and Pharpar rivers of
Damascus better than all the waters of
Israel? To a Damascene, they were bet
ter. But the honesty of Naaman pre
vailed. He dipped In Jordan and was
cleansed. It Is to the man like Naaman
I am speaking today the man who Is
willing to pay the price of the truth that
he may obtain It.
"But the man who disbelieves the truth
because of the price of it is unworthy
the possession of It. I have heard of
some people who wanted to be members
of the church, but not of this church or
of that church, because they forbade the
drinking of wine, theCdancing at parties,
the attending of theaters, the playing
at cards, In a word the doing as you
please. The man who doesn't want to
Relieve the truth because he will have
to do right and leave off doing wrong, Is
therefore no skeptic but a knowing and
"willing sinner.
"There are also a great many men who
profess to disbelieve the Bible and
Christianity who don't know anything
about thgm. These are not honest skep
tics. "Truth is usually defined as the agree
ment of our ideas with the nature of
things about us. It came into this world
either by revelation or discovery. There
are only two kinds of revelation with
which we are practically acquainted
the one Intuitive and the other historical.
The whole school of sensational teach
ers declare that we come to what we
know only through the Intelligent com
munication of ourselves with the outer
world by means of our five senses, or
eome combinations of these communica
tions through the law of association.
"But the natural crucible of Christian
ity is a spiritual one and yef I' may
venture to say that nine-tenths of
the unbelievers In our day have never
applied the spiritual test to Christianity.
They, like the man ho never read the
Bible because he did not believe it,
have never spiritually studied Christian
ity because they don't believe in spiritual
things. We cannot read history with
open eyes or study human nature to its
depths and fail to discern such a require
ment In man that he never has been
and never will be satisfied with the
operation and products of the under
standing alone; hence physical science
cannot cover the demands of his nature.
"Could there have been a greater anom
aly than that royal train of horses and
chariots and silver and gold at the door
of the simple Israelitish prophet? He
who was wrapped In the royal robes.
Byria was but a leper. But Ellsha
knew him as God saw him. Half en
raged, half believing and half doubting,
2Caaman left the trappings of the throne
and the regality of the chariot and drag
ging his miserable self, loathsome with
his disease, and forgetting Abana and
Pharpar, he plod his weary way on foot
to the Jordan, into whose waters he
dipped once, twice, thrice, seven times,
according to the saying of the man of
God, and his flesh came again like the
flesh of a little child, and he was clean.
Prom the river came a new man. He
is Naaman, but no more the selfish
Syrian. i?ow he is the messenger of
another King. Hear him again, this
eame Naaman of Syria: 'Behold now I
know that there is no God in all the
earth but in Israel: now therefore I
pray thou take a blessing of thy serv
ant. "

former Commissioner of Public Lands. The
logging company had a trestle across the
land which it desired should be appraised
as "improvements" under the tide land
law and the purchaser of the land made
to pay therefor. The Supreme Court does
not consider the trestle Improvements and
sustains the lower court In dismissing the
action. It. Is pointed out that the com
pany can still exercise the right of emi
nent domain in protecting Itself after Mc
Millan shall have acquired title.
The Sunreme Court has reversed the or
der of the Superior Court of Skagit Coun
ty, which granted a receiver for tldelanas
at the mouth of the Skagit River under
controversy as to ownership by the Union
Boom Comnanv and the Samish River
Boom Company. The Samish River Boom
Company, which was the appellant in this
case, recently established its right by a
decision of the Supreme Court to condemn
the nroDcrty for Its actual use, as the
rlval company Is not actually engaged in
the fcooming business on the river.

OLTMPIA, Oct. 4. James Brewer, a
merchant of this city; .J. M. Gurgan and
Rev. "William H. Triescb, also of Olympia,
have returned from the Mount S.t. Helens
country, and report having been witnesses
of the eruption on the mountain that
caused the earthquake of September 15.
"It had been raining heavily on the
mountain the day of the? explosion' said
Mr. Brewer "We were going along a
short distance below the timber line. In
the midst of the downpour of rain there
was suddenly a terrible explosion, as
though several tons of dynamite had been
touched off in the vicinity. Immediately
there was a violent trembling of the earth.
I was standing under a tree at the time
and it was so agitated that a deluge of
water poured down on my head from Its.
water-soaked branches. We were not near
enough to the point of explosion to see
any flying rocks or ashes, but others who
were farther up the mountain and with
whom we talked afterwards were in a
hailstorm of rocks and dust.
"The disturbance took place apparently
at the point where the jet of steam Issues
from the mountain. No one, at the time
we left, had climbed up to investigate,
and there did not seem to be much of a
desire to do so. The use of a small field
glass failed to show any change in the
appearance of the 'bare spot' about the
crevice where the steam comes out.
"In my opinion the eruption was caused
by the percolation of water through the
crevasse onto the hot rocks in tho. depths
of the mountain. This, of course, is really
the source of the steam that flows out
constantly at a temperature sufficiently
hot to burn the hand. The steady down
pour of rain had furnished an unusually
large amount of water, and tho pressure
being too great, something had to blow
up."
MATERIAL PLENTY AT CORVALLIS.
Agricultural College "Will Undoubt
edly Turn Out a Strong Eleven.
CORVALLIS. Or.. Sept. 4. (Special.) ThQ
new athletic field and drill ground of the
Agricultural College, tlle-dralned and cov
ered with new turf, is now p"erhaps the
best college field In the Northwest. The
football team this year will be strong.
There Is much good material to pick from.
The hacks, with Captain Pilklngton, tho
well-known fullback, at their head, are
all on the ground, save Quarterback
Laughlin. Rlnehart, last year's quarter
of the second team, Espcy and Nash, the
best kicker In the squad, are aspirants
for the latter position. At half,Athere is
Root, who was named for the position in
the all-Oregon team last season, and Wil
liams, who won renown as a sprinter In
last Spring's track team.
At center Burnough is missing, but
available for his placo Is Walker, the big
McMInnville guard of last year, with a
weight of 200 and an experience of three
years on the field. Hamilton, of last
year's second team. Is a formidable can
didate. At guard the usual players on the
first team in the practice line-up are
either Edgenton, of last year's second
team; Jackson, with the best record of
all the state colleges in the weights last
Spring, or with Dunlap, a 193-pound fresh
man of agility and great strength. At
tackle, Abraham and Bowers are . regu
larly In place, and Bundy of last year's
team Is expected In college every day.
Rose of last year's team, Spagle, a crack
end on the Pacific University team of two
years ago; Cupper, of last year's O. A. C.
team; Espcy and many other good men
are nightly afield. Besides the above.

all-round man from one of the Southern
Oregon teams, is available for first-team
honors in several capacities.
Cadet Band lias an Instructor.
CORVALLIS. Or., Oct. 3. (Special.) The
cadet band at the collcgo has been reor
ganized under new conditions that will
add immensely to the efficiency of the or
ganization in future. Last July the Board
of Regents made a small monthly appro
priation for an Instructor, and Professor
Ruthun Turney, already connected with
the musical department, was placed In
charge of the band. The military rules
require an hour's practice by the musi
cians each day. The organization now
numbers IS pieces.
Excellent Speed Programme "Will Be
Given on a Carefully Prepared
Course.
LA GRANDE, Or., Oct 4. (SpecIaL)
The fourteenth annual exhibition "of 'the
First Eastern Oregon District Agricul
tural Society will open At the fair
grounds near this city tomorrow. From
present Indications, It will be the, largest
and most comprehensive exhibition ever I
held In this city since the establishment .j
of the society. Last year the fair was :
held In Baker City, in conjunction with
the street fair and carnival.
Bad weather and want of Interest on
the part of the Baker County' agrlculr i
turists militated against the success of j
the exhibition, although through the per- j
sonal efforts of Vice-President Ebell,
under whose special direction the fair !
was held, there were a number of choice j
exhibits In the agricultural, hortlcul- j
.tural. stock and domestic arts depart-
merits-. J
La Grande and Union County people I
are, as a rule, more enthusiastic over J
these district fairs than their neighbors
over In Baker County. I
The Baker County Agricultural Society J
has passed out of existence, and with
It the old-time fair grounds have re- ;
verted to the original owners. Thqre is I
no convenient place for horse-racing and i
without a horse-race a county or state
fair is devoid of interest to the great ma- I
jority of people. While these district J
falrS are held under the direct control '
and management of a board of commis- :
sloners, named by the Governor, and the i
state appropriates money annually out
of the 3tat ctreasury to provide "pre
miums, the law contemplates the co
operation of a local agricultural society.
The enterprising citizens of La Qrande
and Union County maintain such an or
ganization. It is known as the Grand
Ronde Valley Agricultural Society. The
following named gentlemen comprise the
list of officers and directors of this so
ciety: W. G. Hunter, president. Island. City;
N. K. West, vice-president. La Grande;
Fred J. Holmes, secretary. Island City;
J. M. Church, treasurer. La Grande;
Charles Mulquest, La Grande; Thomas
Wade, Island City; Peter McDonald,
Allcel; Ben Brown, Island City, and J.
J. Conley, La Grande.
The counties included in the First Dis
trict, for Eastern Oregon, are: Union,
Baker, Grant, Wallowa, Malheur ami
Harney. Harney County Is not mention
ed In the act creating the district, but
as it was a part of Grant County when
the law was passed, it is considered to
be included in the first district.
The following gentlemen comprise the
board of commissioners for the First
Eastern Oregon District:
W. G. Hunter, chairman. Union Coun
ty; George Ebell, Baker County; J. J.
Cozart, Grant County; L. J. Rouse, Wal
lowa County; D. C. Wells, Malheur
County. Harney County, for the reason
mentioned, is not represented on the
board.
The officers of tho board of commis
sioners for the year 1903 are: W. G.
Hunter, president; George Ebell, vice
president; Fred J. Holmes, secretary,
and J. M. Church, treasurer. The sec
retary and treasurer are not members of
the state board.
The premium list for the 1903 fair pro
vides for several hundred cash prizes,
ranging from $1 to $50, and they are
offered for all classes of competitive ex
hibits, usually found In county and state
fairs. The state law especially provides
that no part of the state money shall
be used for prizes for speed contests, or
in plain English, horse-racing.
This part of the fair is providea ror Dy
the Grand Ronde Valley Agricultural As
sociation. There will be an interesting lot of speed
contests. A choice lot of racing horses
from all over the Northwest will par
ticipate in' this part of the week's enter
tainment. The horses that were at the
Sumpter race meeting which closed Sun-
day are here to make It interesting for
all comers. Some very handsome purses
have been hung up, for the speed con
tests, and besides there is a host of men
with money who will of course back their
judgment with cash.
The local association has provided a
splendid race course, which only requires
a season of fair' weather to be in the
pink of condition; in fact, the only thing
that can seriously interfere with the
success of the fair In any way will be
a season of bad weather.
The citizens of La Grande have made
preparations to care for all the visitors
who attend the fair, so that there will
be ample accommodations at the hotels
and private homes for all strangers.
During the latter part of the week there
will be an interesting sale of Hereford
and Shorthorn cattle and Poland China
and Berkshire hogs. Unipn County can
boast of some of the finest cattle and
hogs raised on the Pacific Coast. A num
ber of breeders of fine stock have ar
ranged to place on exhibition and sale
a few of their best animals.
This exhibition and sale will be an
attractive feature of the fair, because
every animal is registered and can boast
of an unbroken line of distinguished ancestors.
