Christian Endeavorers Plan for Big Conventions. Multnomah Union Works Actively to Have 3O0 Delegates Attend From This County. THE Multnomah Christian Endeavor Union Is at this time working actively for the development and suc cess of the state conventions to be held at La Grande and Salem February 16, 17 and 18 and February 23, 24 and. 25, respectively. Registrations have been coming- in quite well, but the Union is not entire ly satisfied with their number. The goal is 300 delegates from Multnomah County. Every Christian Endeavor So ciety, no matter how small, should send at least one or two delegates. The more delegates a. society sends to the conventions the more enthusiasm and spirit will be brought back to the so ciety and the greater the progress In the society. The thing the Union wants to impress upon the minds of the mem bers of the societies most forcibly is the necessity for registering every dele sate possible by today. And in view of this desire the Union is sending- out several speakers to the societies to urge upon them this necessity of registering- early, inasmuch as those who have charge of the entertainment of delegates at Salem need to know with out further delay how many delegates to figure on for entertainment. This Information will also be needed to en able the committee to prepare for the special trains for the convention. Societies to Be Visited. Some of the speakers being sent out this Sunday aro Earl Feike, EmiC Kwanson, David M. Jack, Willard Rouse, Walter Huntington, Miss Frankle Coykendall andi Miss Mollie Fetting. These will visit each society some time during- the evening's prayer meeting- and place before the society the above facts. To work up additional enthusiasm for the coming- convention at Salem, a pre-convention rally has been planned for February 19, Monday evening-, be ginning at 7:45, In. the Westminster Church of this city. It is hoped to have again this year at least this number of young- people present. Special speakers have been provided and some good ad dresses" will be given. Convention yells will be practiced and a rally will be held. One delegate's fare to Salem will he awarded to the society having the largest percentage of its membership present at the rally. Daniel Poling, as sociate president of the Oregon Society of Christian Endeavor, will be the prin cipal speaker of the evening. Lloyd R. Carrick, Oregon Christian Endeavor president, also will be present. Each society should send a good delegation. If not all of their members. . Drive Is Progrcmlnar.

TUB HKJHWAT. " ' BY REV. JOSHUA STANSFIELD. D. D. And a highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called the way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those; the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein. No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous toeast shall go up thereon, it shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk there. Isaiah xxxili:8-9, 0TJR text Is from one of the high peaks of Old Testament proph ecy. I was thinking, during the week, if anyone should ask me. ."What Js prophecy?" how would I answer. Af ter thinking upon it for a while I said, "Well, prophecy Is a seeing and a de claring of the 'What ought to be. " A seeing and a declaring of the "What ought to be." If the world is God's world and life is built on moral lines, then the "What ought to be" shall be. In olden times the prophets were called "seers." That is. they "saw" what ought to be. And not alone did they see, out tney de clared and pro claimed. At times their voices were like "one crying In" the wi 1 d'e r n e s s, prepare ye the way of the Lord." The real - worth of prophecy is not in i foretelling, but In 1 V i i i jt i k clarinar and aayinsr. !.!. "In the name of God, this shall be. ' In old Testament prophecy we have the most marvel- tr 5us visions and dec- 1.. .1 .. tA - V. . Litus no iv, tv imv . . , . . ... . Ka By Rev. Stansfleld human life shall be. And there never has been anything of real advancement In the world's his tory but what good men have said. "Why, this is the fulfillment of prophecy." "The. testimony of Jesus is the sDi"tt of prophecy." And here, in our text today, is a man of God who t t v v4 sees the "What ought to he." And while his people were at that very hour in exile, and under the heel of a heathenism that was horrid, yet this seer, this man of God, says what ought to be. and declares It. It is this: That in this world, of ours there is to be a highway of holiness the public life of the people is to be clean and good and right. And that highway or road is to lead somewhere. All good roads lead somewhere. This way of holi ness is to lead unto God's likeness and unto the God character "The re deemed of the Lord shall walk therein." This world is not the devil's world, it Is God's world. It is not built on bad lines, but good. And God is in his own world, leading on his people, step by step, to the realization of the high est and best he has ever purposed for them. The divine intent and purpose will "come to pass." "The mouth of the Lord has spoken It." The world is not to continue under- the power of evil, but increasingly to come into the light of the life of the knowledge of, the glory of God. Such Is the testimony of prophecy. It is in recent days and modern times that we have had the greatest challenge to the light of God. As life becomes more congested and complex and the relations become more Intense, the high principles and ideals of Bible prophecy are being more clearly seen. Final Revelation la City. I would call your attention, however, to this: That prophecy seems to antici pate the conditions of life into which we have come. The last revelation in the word of God is of a city. The Bible starts out with life in a garden; it cul minates with life in a city. . And those of you who fear that because of the growing complexity, intensity and baf fling burdens of the life of the modern city that Christianity cannot prevail would do well to remember that God in his revelation has anticipated the city; and it is the city with all Its problems that is the figure used by God in the fullness of revelation to show what his truth will do. The final revelation is of a city; a city come down from God out of heaven, "the streets of which are like pure gold, and on each side of the thoroughfares are the trees of life, the leaves of which are for the healing of the nations.' Take your great City of New York, with its 7,000,000 of strangely mixed population, or Chicago, with its hu man problem, or Boston, with its Slcil-1 ian and Italian quarters; take any of the great cities and the population problem is here anticipated. The leaves on the trees shall be for the healing of American citizens No! For the healing of the intelligent? No! For the healing of the elite? No! For the heal ing of the enfranchised? No. They shall be "for the healing of the nations." In God's great democracy which is to come in your cities there is to be not alone "rights," but equal privileges for every man. woman and child, of what ever race, tongue or nationality. Bible prophecy says that there shall be thrown up a highway which shall lead to this very thing. You cannot have a permanent democracy on the basis of a universal franchise. You may have a conglomeration of people, all clamoring for their acknowledged rights; but' you can only have a per manent democracy where the rights and privileges of every other human are fully recognized. In the democracy that is to come as the result of the highway that is to be thrown up there shall be a city in which the ignorant are not exploited in which the poor are not exploited In which the for eigner Is not exploited. There is only one text book in the universe where you get that idea, fundamentally, and it is here; in God's prophecy, through enlightened mejs, .the' "What ought to be" and the "What shall be." Now in these days we ae realizing, more than ever before, the Importance of good roads. The world is getting less every year and larger every day. Less be cause distances are diminishing. Larger because life is more .complex. "Necessity is the mother of inven tion." The necessity for good roads in congested populations is absolutely necessary and one of the most Impor tant questions in our country is that of transportation. Has it not always been thus? Christianity as a world re i ligiom was marvelously prepared for by the old Roman roads. Rome had a means of transportation Into all parts of the civilized world and Chris tianity spread. The road has always been a most important part in the life of a people. So thatMt has passed into a truism now tnat you cannot nave any good civilization without good roads. There is little civilization in Africa. It is coming; they are making highways. "The crooked must be made straight and the rough places plain." Civiliza tion must have a highwayj the arteries of a nation are the highways of the nation. People Most Control Reads. Sixteen years ago, after "reading a series of remarkable articles by Isaac K. Funk in a New York journal I reached the conclusion that for the democracy we have in America it will be necessary that the people shall own or quite largely control the means of transportation. This I have declared from, the pulpit and in other places a score of times in recent years. It is coming; it is necessary. Unless you can have a fair control of the highways and the means of transportation, the very life of the people is in the hands of others. This brings me to the mod ern application of the text. . "There shall be a highway of holiness." All questions of public utility and public welfare aro primarily and fundamen tally moral. So farts we know it is not possible to eradicate evil out of human life It seems to be a part of, man. But organized and institution alized evil that puts itself in such a way that it controls the life of others and is an open menace to the welfare of the world, mankind should and must oppose. It Is not possible to legislate the de sire for wrong out of the life of a peo ple. That work must be done by edu cation and the power of truth and God's spirit; but when evil becomes an organized power In the community and takes the very highways of life, claims them and uses them, then such evil should be opposed and destroyed. Prophecy says that It Bhal be. When ever in the past any man or company of men have taken the highways of life if c4l the sea, they became pi rates, and such highway was finally cleared as civilization advanced. When later, in the highways on land, persons monopolized the road between point and point, such a monopoly was broken. And in these later days the superb effort of democracy has been to break the power of man or of men who have organized to control the highways of life. The road is for all people; all have a" right to It. And therefore, on the highway, there ought to be nothing that will hurt or destroy the wayfaring man. But how is it to day, particularly in your cities? In the outskirts you may keep out of certain wards or sections, the danger spots and ravenous beasts. But as the highway becomes more traveled and you come into the heart of the city, then the public way of the people is crowded with what? With the "raven ous beasts" and that which endangers life. If the saloon, the gambling house and the place of evil have a right anywhere It is somewhere other than on the public street. Where people must travel between point and point there should be nothing that endangers. -On dangerous' curves out in the country we find danger signals, but as we come into the congested streets and to where the highway leads, we find on every side institutionalized evil and organ ized danger. Who is it that has the fight 'of the road the right of way? It is the man with the clear eye and the man with the bleared eye. Both. It is the woman of fine spirit and the woman with the bad taint in her blood. It Is the man with the firm step, it is the person with the weak will power. It is ifie man with the clear eye. It is the child and the youth with the open eye, full of wonderment, ready to take anything that offers. On the high way, in the congested parts of our city, there should be nothing that will hurt. A highway shall be there a way of holiness a way of health a way of soberness a way of moral cfeanness. "A highway shall be there. And on it shall be no ravenous beast." When the light of God has once shone upon a situation and made it clear, then new duties are imposed and new Imperatives are upon us. And It Is my duty today to help put away the ravenous beast, not perhaps because he endangers me, but because he en dangers others who are on the same highway of life. I do not think you can find five families out of this very respectable congregation who have not been Intimately hurt by the ravenous beast of legalized liquor. As life be comes more complex and more danger ous, the imperative becomes larger that we shall do away with the raven ous beasts on the highway which the people must travel. And so the light and the truth of God come to be the greatest determinating factor in social and civic life. You can no more keep religion out of politics and statecraft than you can keep the light out of life. Roads Shall Be Good. Jesus said, "I am the Light of the World." "I am the Trutn." "I am the Way" and he. in himself, by his work and manner and spirit, has shown what is the highway which is to be thrown up for the people of God. So I come today with this message, re-echoed from one of the Old Testament proph ets, a message which creates a prob lem and gives new imperatives to the people of God. Throughout our land today the call for good roads Is not to be merely through automobillsts and big concerns; the call Is coming more and more from the rank of the people who shall have the advantage of these roads. The church first heard the call through the voice of the prophets, echoed by John the Baptist, reinforced by Jesus Christ, spoken of by tbe.apos tles and in the apocalypse, and echoed thousands of times by the people who hive since heard. A highway shall be there; and on the thoroughfares of life the evil institution and the organ ized wrong shat have no place this, we say. ia coming. Not in your coun try places merely, but in your cities there shall be highways in which there shall not be the ravenous beast. Man. If you think that you can continue to rent your property on certain streets for Immoral purposes at exorbitant rates, and at the price of" human bodies and souls, you had better think again. For the light of God has shone, the voice of prophecy Is being heard and the rights of the man. woman and child on the highway will have to have first consideration. . "A highway shall be there." A way of holiness, and It is to bo so plain that even an ordinary man can make his way through. As it is now In some of our cities it Is so hard that a thousand men have to fight to get by. 6o plain that a wayfaring man shall not mistake the path. So safe that innocent children and even weak-willed boys and girls and men and women shall not be jeopardized. The end of good government is to make the ways of life plain, secure and safe. Prophecy declares It. The word of God has promised it. The power of God shall accomplish it. I want you as Christian people to help throw vp the highway in our city and make it is good morally as is the great Columbia Highway physically and in beauty and strength, and it will be well. "A highway shall be there." A Sure Way tJ End Dandruff There is one sure way that has never failed to remove dandruff at once, and that is to dissolve it, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, Just get about four ounces of plain, common liquid arvon from any drug store (this is all you wilF need), apply it at night when retiring; use . enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the fin ger tips.
