DRY CAMPAIGN IS AIDED Oregon Methodists Will Support the Anti-Saloon Campaign to' Make State Prohibition General Expense Fund Kaised. COTTAGE GROVE, Or., Sept- 17. (Special.) Do not meddle with secular business affairs, make your sermons brief and clear cut. do not allow the church choir td run things and preach the gospel, and do. the work of God, he prompt and punctual In attendance upon conference sessions and you can become a good preacher, was some of the ad vice given to ministers by Bishop Smith In addressing a class here this morning at the Methodist Episcopal Church. They are: James Knotts, Charles L. Creesy and A. F. Lacy. The bishop did an .unusual thing when he admitted that the custom frequently means a talk to the older members of the ministry over the shoulders of those In the class, and he then proceeded to tell the preachers some things about their business. Bishop Smith congratulated the class upon being fortunate enough to tjter a conference such as this, where he said, the rolls carry the names of some great heroes of the cross, and said Oregon's conference is one of the best in Methodism. He warned the class mem bers never to think themselves too big to attend conference sessions, answer to the rollcall the first day and be present for benediction on the closing day. Preaching Pastor's Chief Work. "This Is to be able to know how to transact church business," he said, "com ing Into full connection makes a minister eligible to any pulpit In Methodism, of which there are 18,000. and it is worth while to have this privilege. Preaching the gospel is the minister's first busi ness, and any studloua man who will work hard can preach well and please the people. To stick to a text and not wander from It is an essential, and do not let the choir run things, is another. Say what you have to say and quit, and be brief, are others." A preacher should not meddle in secular business affairs, but shquld spend his whole time In the min isterial work." Bishop Smith also lectured the laymen this afternoon in a kindly way, telling them they Ought to pay their preachers better salaries, and that they ought also to provide more churches to evangelize the country In this conference.

Yet the ghost is a fancy and the term is a fact. If the germ could be magnified to a size equal to its terrors it would appear more terrible than any fire-breathing dragon. Germs can't be avoided. They are in the air we breathe, the water we drink. The germ can only prosper when the condition of the system gives it free scope to establish it self and develop. When there is a deficiency of rnM. Lnnnr fearlessness, a sallow cheek. a hollow eye, when the appetite is poor and the sleep is broken, it is time to guard against the germ. You can fortify the body against all germs by the use of Dr. Pierce's Gold en Medical Discovery.
