The blazing of the first trail through the great West to Oregon will be com memorated at Coryell Pass, three and one-half miles southeast of Eugene, Saturday, when the Daughters of the American Revolution from all parts of the state will take part In. the dedication of a monument bearing the inscription: OREGON TRAIL, 1848. ERECTED BY OREGON LEWIS AND CLARK CHAP TER D. A. R.. 1917. The marker will be the historic fea ture of the state convention of the Daughters of the American Revolution, to be held in Eugene next Friday and Saturday. Other states have provided similar markers along the great high way traversed by the early pioneers, from Gardiner, Kan., where it diverges from the Sante Fe trail and extends northwest through Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming, Idaho, Oregon and Wash ington, terminating at Olympla, Wash. Credit Given O. G. Ellis. The Idea of marking the Oregon trail as a patriotic work was first advanced by O. G. Ellis, president of the Sons of the Washington State So ciety of the Sons of the American Rev olution in 1908. The first marker was placed at the end of the trail at the site of the old blockhouse which stood in Olympia in early days. Taking up the work of marking the trail, the state of Kansas appropriated $2000 to ppvide stone markers at stated inter vals along the route two feet high and one foot square. Nebraska and Wyo ming each appropriated $2500 for the same purpose. Patriotic societies in Idaho are also formulating plans to aid the work. In March, 1916, the Oregon Society of the Daughters of the American Rev olution pledged co-operation to the extent that It would place a monument at the Oregon end of the Interstate bridge crossing the Columbia at Port land. It Is expected to raise $5000 to $10,000 for this purpose. At the dedication of the marker at Coryell Pass, the monument will first be presented to the state society and then to the Oregon State Historical Society. Event Regarded Important The convention of the state society Is the first to be held outside of the city of Portland and the members of the Oregon Lewis and Clark Chapter are planning to make it a social and historical event of great proportions. At noon Saturday a Colonial lunch eon will be served. A musical pro gramme will be provided by Mrs. Daisie Beckett Middleton, Frank V. Badollet. Miss Ruth Davis and Miss Mary Alice Gillette. Chairmen of committees of Oregon Lewis and Clark Chapter of the state society arranging for the assembly are as follows: Miss Bertha Comings, Mrs. C. B. Wllloughby, Mrs. R. M. McMur phy. Mrs. J. K. Pratt, Miss Amy Dunn and Mrs. L. R. Edmunson. "Educational Day" la Planned. CENTRAL! A, Wash.. March 3. (Spe cial.) The educational department of the Southwest Washington Fair, of which A." C.

Final Smhmlng Vp of Plans la Made at Rally Meeting; of Leaders Held at First Church. "A spiritual opportunity a cam paign for men rather than for money." These terms were applied hy Dr. Arthur F. Bishop, pastor of Central Presby terian Church, in his summing1 up of the plans for the every member campaign to be conducted today by the Pres byterians of the city. Dr. Bishop was one of the speakers who addressed the rally meeting of elders, board members and leaders of the work in the First Church Friday night. Nineteen churches were represented. "Money is a spiritual matter." said Dr. Bishop. "Money isn't necessarily filthy lucre. It is' a responsibility, and responsibilities stored should be shared. Jesus told the rich young man to sell all he had and give. The every mem ber canvass will be a spiritual oppor tunity for the men who go from house to house to get the hearts and lives of men awakened to the importance of the church." Dr. Edward H. Pence, pastor of "West minster Church, gave' an inspiring talk outlining the every member canvass and its power for greater efficiency, and Dr. J. H. Boyd, nastorjrof First J Church, spoke on equipment and exten sion of the church s activities. Par tlcular stress was laid by Dr. Boyd on the Sunday school work. SHOW GIVEN BY EMPLOYES O.-W. R. & X.

THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER DAY SAINTS. NBr DR. JAMES B. TA1MAOB. Of the Council of Twelve, Church ef Jeans Christ of Latter-Day Salata. What's In a nameT So asked one who has been-called the chief of English bards; and hosts of thoughtful minds have been conscious of the same Insist ent query springing up as a conception original to each. Who but- the super ficial will venture to deny the Influ ence of names? We are all subject to the witchery of bias and of prejudices for or against; and the odium or the good repute of a name ofttlmes deter mines our provisional acceptance or re- -jectlon of that for which the name stands. , Mot of us are In the habit of putting up our knowledge In little packages, each labeled with a name. These we stow away in more or less orderly fashion and, though we glance fre quently at the label, we are apt to for get what any one of the packets really contains. It is difficult to find a desig nation limited to a word or a phrase that adequately describes the contents of a pigeonhole in the desk; the title of a book may tell little about the pages. "Mormonlsm" Is an unpopular name; the truths for which It stands, the eter nal principles which It embodies are more readily believed In If left unla beled. It should be remembered that the term "Mormon," with its several variants, was first applied to the peo ple now so designated by way of nick name. But nicknames may be so sanc tified by effort and achievement that they become titles of respect and pro found significance. To this fact history lends definite and abundant testimony. It may be remembered that the term "Christian" was first applied as an epi thet of contempt. Tou know how it was hurled In hatred and disdain at the disciples in Antioch. (See Acts. xl:26). Yet the followers of Christ ac cepted the name and hallowed it by sacrifice and righteous deeds; and to day the world counts but one distinc tion greater than being called a Chrls tlon, and that is to be a Christian In fact. The early application of the term Mormon" to the people of that church had reference to the book of Mormon, which was first published in the year 1830. This work is known today, by name at least, among the reading and thinking people generally; and the mis representation embodied in its pseu donym, the "Mormon Bible," is now pretty well understood. As set forth upon the title page of this much-discussed work, the book purports to be a translation of certain ancient rec ords, which in turn were in part an abridgement of more extended writ- , lngs giving an account of the aborig inal peoples of the Western Continent, of whom the American Indians are the degenerate posterity. The "Mormon" people do not resent . the misnomer by which they are com monly known and which has been fas tened upon them by popular ueugre. They deplore, however, the possible misunderstanding that the church to which they belong professes to be the church of Mormon. It should be under stood that Mormon was a man, a very distinguished and a very able man. It is true, an eminent prophet and historian. ccordingto the record bearing his name. but a man nevertheless. The "Mor mon" Church affirms itself to be in no sense the church or .Mormon, nor tne church of Joseph Smith, nor of Briar ham Young, nor of any man other than the Savior and Redeemer of the race. The true name of this church, the designation by which it is officially known as an organization among men, is THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OP LATTER-DAY SAINTS. The "Mormons" claim that this dis tinguishing title was given through divine revelation, and they cite as evi dence of propriety and consistency at taching to its bestowal the words of the Resurrected Christ to the disciples of the ancient Church in the West. To the supplication: "Lord, we will that thou wouldst tell us the name whereby we shall call this church; for there are disputations among the people concern ing this matter," the Lord Jesus Christ, there present in person, replied: "Verily, verily, I say unto you, why is It that the people should murmur and dispute because of this thing? Have they not read the scriptures, which say ye must take upon you the name of Christ, which is my name? For by this name shall ye be called at the last day; and whoso taketh upon him my name, and endureth to the end, the same shall be saved at the last day; therefore what soever ye shall do. ye shall do It In my name; therefore ye shall call the church in my name; and ye shall call upon the Father in my name, that he will bles the church for my sake; and how be it my church, save it be called in my name? for if a church be called in Moses' name, then it be Moses' church; or if it be called in the name of a man, then it be the church of a man; but if it be called in my name, then it is my church, if it so be that they are built upon my gospeL Verily I say unto you that ye are built upon my gospel; therefore ye shall call whatsoever things ye do call. In my name; therefore if ye call upon the Father, for the church, if it be in my name, the Father will hear you; and If It so be that the church is built upon my gospel, then will the Father shew forth his own works In it." (See Book Of Mormon, 3 Nephi, xxvli:4-10.) The "Mormon" people aver that the distinguishing features of their reli gious system, in short, the essentials of the philosophy of "Mormonlsm," are epitomized in the name of their organ ization THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS. If the name be used without divine warrant. Its assumption cannot fail to be regarded as a sacrilege; if it has been authoritatively bestowed, one need look no further for explanation of the vitality exhibited by the church in so Impressive a degree from the day of its organization- to the present.
