A town half in ruins and the remnant of Its inhabitants living in dread of a repe tition of the raid of rast week, and a handful of seemingly nervous police who had shut themselves inside bar racks with the body of slain District Inspector Brady were what the cor respondent found when he reached this remote place in Ireland today. The correspondent was told how acting County Commissioner Russell tried to prevent the destruction of the town; from the managers of the two fire-swept creameries he received their accounts of an heroic struggle in the darkness and a thick fog to save the institutions, and from the wife of one of the managers of the creameries he heard a story of how fche. while facing four rifles, contrived a ruse to safeguard her husband. People Boycott I'olloe. For many weeks, the correspondent waa told, the local police had been subject to a boycott by the townspeo ple.

Accounts of what happened after ward as given to the correspondent by various townspeople follow: The lorries stopped in front of a public house and when the occupants got out. Commissioner Russell begged them not to destroy property. One man answered the commissioner with an oath and all the men rushed to ward the saloon. An orgy of drinking, bottle smashing and wrecking ensued, after which the men broke up into groups and proceeded systematically w ith their work of destruction. With incendiary bombs and petrol they set fire to the general store which was destroyed. Two other stores were burned and 15 smaller shops and resi dences were damaged. The loss is es timated at about a half million dol lars. The raiders remained for nearly three hours. Refugees who had been couching in distant fields said they witnessed the spreading of flames, heard the detonations of bombs and fusillades of rifle shots and the shouts of "Come out, you Sinn Fein- ers Watching these events were women and children screaming. Many Dressed as PolTce. Those who came in contact ' with the raiders said some of them wore lung black coats and policemen's caps. Others were dressed in khaki. shortly before 3 A. M. the men re entered the lorries and were driven off. At about that time, it was said, a neighbor awakened Thomas Murri cane, manager of the Ballyara cream ery, whose home stands several hun dred yards from the big co-operative I.iant. Murricune aroused his wife and children and a priest who was visiting the family and ran toward the creamery. Hardly had Mrs. Mur ricane hustled the children down stairs than she heard a lorry ap proaching. The next minute several tullets tore through the upper part of the house, one of them striking the bed she had just left. She, the ehil dren and the priest took refuge in the kitchen. 5865 PLEDEED TO FUND SUNDAY SCHOOL GIVES TO NEAR EAST RELIEF. .

The Harney County Teachers' insti tute closed yesterday with an in formal talk by Irvin Cobb. Mr. Cobb was accompanied by the members of his party and William Hanley who has been host to the men during their visit ana hunt in Harney county. Mr. Cobb was unstinting in his praise of Oregon and Oregon people. He said: "I feel that the boundaries of the state are great latch strings, always on the outside, and that the word, 'welcome' is tatooed on the hearts of the people. The south asks of a man. 'Who is he?" the north asks, 'How much has he got?' but the west asks, 'What can he do?' If I were boosting for Oregon, I'd boast not of its beautiful mountains, not of its gorgeous sunsets or of its tall pine trees, so tall that they surely tickle the toes of the angels in heaven, but of the spirit of the peo ple it is a reflaming and reawaken ing of the old pioneer spirit the pioneer who crossed the plains with a gun in one hand and a demijohn in the other, bringing the refining influences of civilization to the west." The institute has been one of the most successful ever held in the county, both in the attendance of the teachers and the interest of the sub ject matter given by the instructors from the state institutions.

"It is something not to be ashamed of. but to be proud of. The S. O. S. call of religion is :',he practice of its faith. When Jesus comes he may not care to look up all the articles in our declaration of faith, but he will give heed as to how man treats man, the world over.

"The face of this man." stated Mr. Constant, "was so suffused with the light of truth and love that his coun tenance was radiant with glory di vine. His faith wrought in him a transfiguration. It was the Christ spirit within.'- working outwards. Stephen's verba tj defense of the new faith was powerful, but the silent tes timony of his life was stronger than all his arguments. The Master was discerned in his servant. ".No finer testimony can be found for religion than that which is found in the pure and devoted lives of genu ine followers of Jesus.

"Who is the Well-Balanced Chris tian," was the subject of Dr. E. H. Pence, pastor of Westminster Pres byterian church yesterday morning. When the great apostle of Chris tianity wrote his t-o epistles to the Corinthians he gave to the world its best guide in understanding anM deal ing with the vagaries of human na ture as excited by religious emotion, said Dr. Pence. "In no other func tion does Paul appear in greater form than in the subtleness and force with which he grapples the excited ignor ance of those early Corinthian Chris tians. Lifted, and that almost in a day, out of a previous religious bond age to fear, to superstitution and moral debaucheries, with the habits of unorganized wills they presented to this master of men his supreme ftest as a discipliner. The emotional ism of ignorance and fear, wrought into habits, was carried over into the mental struggles of these people to understand the new religion." DR. STAXSFIELD PREACHES If Grace Is Experienced, It Is Man ifest, Says Pastor. In speaking at the First Methodist church yesterday morning on "Work ers With God," Dr. Stansfield took as his text I Cor.. 6:1: "As workers to gether with him. we beseech you that ye receive not the grace of God in vain." After pointing out the cosmopolitan and temperamentally diverse charac ter of the members of the church at Corinth, the preacher said, if one has truly experienced the grace of God which bringeth salvation, the mani festation of it will always be accord ing to individual temperament there is a diversity of operation but by the same spirit. "It is God that worketh in all but not in all alike. The difference, how ever, is not of God. but because of the .temperamental difference in man. A shouting Salvationist, a phlegmatic Fresby terian, a decorous Anglican and a quiet Quaker are always pos sible in the wide range of the grace of God. but wherever and in whomso ever the grace of God is really known there should be a 'worker together with God.'

Yesterday was anniversary day at the First Congregational church. By floral decorations, extra music and increased attendance the Congrega tional folk celebrated the coming of their pastor. Exactly "to the day a year ago they welcomed Dr. and Mrs. McElveen at the Union station. Dr. McElveen's contribution to the anni versary was a sermon on "The New Church for the New Day." He said In part: "In the past century there have been more changes in the conditions of human life than there ere in the previous thousand years. The next ten years may see changes that will dwarf the many significant changes of the past century. Progress has on its seven-league boots, and is traveling forward with ever widening and ever accelerated stride. Never in all the world's history did so many people change their minds upon so many important matters as they did during the decade 1910-1920. And it is because that- nowadays there is nothing permanent but change that this is a period of unrest and discon tent. Church Must Keep race. "These changes in condition of liv ing and ideas cannot but change the church. Tomorrow is going to be different from today. The church is one of the great formative influences in the making of the coming better civilization. But the church is only one of those directive forces, and the other forces which are changing so ciety will also change the church. The present is marked, then, by a chang ing church in a changing order. Your grandmother patiently pushed her needle through miles of linen: you use an electrically propelled Bewing machine. The methods of church work that prevailed in your grand mother's day will not suffice for the church of today any more than the tallow dip that she used to light her way to her bed chamber will serve you. You want to press a button and suffuse your room wiih glaring light. The new needs of the new age can not be adequately met by the old equipment. Your Chinese laundryman gathers and distributes the family wash in an auto, some of you would condemn the church to the use of a broken-down wheelbarrow. Xew Attack Snggented.
