A. S. Johnston, Commercial
Traveler Addresses Oregon
Baptist Convention.
PROFANE PATRON JARRED
8a If man In "Impromptu Fprrch
Telia How Laity May Uracil
Perrons With Belter Re
volts Than Ministers.
"Utbimi can mak themselves a
greater influence for srood uaonf their
frisnds outside tha church than tha
minister." said A. L- Johnston, a trar-
llna- salesman at the Oreson Baptist
convention In tha White lempie yes
terdar afternoon.
Mr. Johnston was called upon for
an Impromptu addresa on 'Lay Kvan
sellsm.- lie replied with a brief re
view of some Interesting personal x
-perlences durlns; 11 yeara spent "on
tha road.
He told of bla recent successful ef
forts In orranlzlns- a Sunday school
on Foldlers- Island and of the revival
meeting's which he conducted at Tilla
mook, durlns; which he secured 14 con
versions. I'rofane Patron Scolded.
Tie also told of an Incident on his
last trip In which he took occasion to
rebuke a customer whose liberal use
of profanity had marked him among;
the men of that community. Although
he knew that his trade with that man
would be Jeopardized, he undertook to
censure him. he explained. The cua
tomer acutally wilted" under his
wordy torrent of sincere advice, and
from that time resolTed to c.ise his
blasphemous practices.
"I could talk to that man with much
better. grace than a preacher." ex
plained Mr. Johnston, "lie knew that
I waa speaking as one man to another,
while If a preacher spoke, he would
merely think he was speakinr In the
line of his duty and that he was being;
paid for his words."
Sin Bases Disbelief.
On another occasion, he said, a num
ber of travelers, seated with him at a
table In a hotel, sought to ridicule
him for the rrt he took in church
work, but he dispersed them from the
table by saying; that the reason men
don't believe In Christ la because of
sin.
If a man doesn't accept the Lord
Jesas Christ he will go to hell. I be
lieve." he declared.
In this way. he said, he had been
able to make himself useful while In
the position of a commercial salesman
In spite of the prediction of his women
friends. II rearsvsgo, that a life "on
the road" would lead to his spiritual
ruin.

There will be no prizes hung up for
the best exhibits of these troublesome
pests. But It does not follow that much
interest will not be taken in this feature
of the show.
The exhibit' is to be made by the Oregon
Agricultural College, and the Insect pro
fessor will be on hand to give a complete
history of pests whose chief function
seems to injure fruit trees and spoil nice,
big apples. The main purpose of the ex
hibit is to demonstrate best methods for
exterminating the Insects from the or
chards. In connection with this feature
of the show, demonstrations of spraying,
grafting and pruning will be made for the
Instruction of fruitgrowers.
The programme of addresses covering
horticultural subjects will be announced
In a few days. Secretary Power expects
to secure the services of several fruit
