After a very hhort lodge session tho doors wore opened and tboRebekahB marched in in a body and with appropriate remarks wero in troduced and welcomed to tho lodge, after which the".fumilica of Odd Fellow joined in the celebration. Great credit is duo for the success of the enteitaiament to the following com mittee: Joseph Micelli, J. W. Strange U. A. Sehlbredo, E.

Salvationists Again. Tl . i. . . lukbo birango reiigioaiets are again with us. They are a simple minded folk, zealous and aggressive in their line f work. "They earn the wai into Africa." They have declared war against the devil acd all his imps, Their modes of warfare are peculiar, They pitch their tent upon tbo enemy's ground and quarter on hia substance, They will take recruits from ths ranke of satan and encourage desertion from the army of sin, and beg all the goods and chattels tbey can persuade saint or sin ner to turn over to their commissary store and give them vouchers to te cashed on the other side cf Jordan. They throw out what they drein a pou iwii uciuge 10 cross on, to every one i. .1 . who will throw a nickel in their gospel slot. Odb sister. last Satuid.iv ni..hf passed round throuch the gaping congre gation Iwgcing for 45 cents. "Onlv 45 cents, to make up the dollar." She re turned and reported at headquarters her failure. Thea the commissary re marKtd: "rrotn so cood a luoking crowd 1 bad expected better things Pass round again sister, we must hive 45 cents need it in our business." The Pulpit. Rev. J. T. Day of Eugeue, Or., preached last .Sunday night from the text, "Believe on the Lord Jetus Christ anu you shall be saved." The speaker said that belief is passive, while faith is active. Belief, he said, is necessary for one to come to Christ. Faith lays holds of the promises of God and works out individual salvation Without be lief it is impcsslblo to come to Christ. The speaker essayed a definition of the command, "Believe m Christ." If one balteves in the scriptures he will obey its injunctions. An implicit faith makes the sin-sick soul whole. Faith is the all potent factor in the Cbristain religion. Without faith in the divinity of Christ, the saving oruinances of baptism by water and by the Holy Ghost for the re mission of sins, mania lost. The sal vable ordinances oi gocd works are the results growing out cf belief, faith and baptism. Belief preceeds, faith follows with their sequences, a holy and upright life. A just life is impossible except as the consequence of belief in Christ as the author and finisher of our faith. Notice of Annual Meeting.

Rcseburg, Or., Dec. 25th, 1896 D. 1'lai.-deai.er: Will you kindlv allow us a little epace in your paper to correct same miss'atementa made bv the Roseburg Review of Dec. 24th, concern ing the testimony of Monroe Isaacs and Mrs. Miller. The Review eays: "Mon roe Iseaacs swore that Hinman and Yocum had proposed to him about April 1st, to rob Mayes' store." Here are the facts in the case: Monro Isaacs swore that Hinman proposed, in the presence ot .vionroe Ieaacs, witness, and Nat Yocum, to rcb Mayes' store and Monroe Isaacs replied: "lam not out helping rob stores." On cross examination he testified that Nat Yocum never made any answer whatever, whether ha would rob Mayes' store or not. r.rroro. The Review Etates that Mre. Miller testified that shortly after the roulery Hinman and Yocum gave her some chewing gum, saying it was Mayes.best and that if she would "come over to the hocee" they would give her enough to last her a year. Here is what Mrs. Miller swore: That if the would go with them they would give her the gum. House was not mentioned. Now we'.believe that when making reports to the public facts only should bo reported Youra Respectfully, O.se or the Jury. A Thrilling Adventure. The "Three Friends," a filibustering steamer from Fernandina, Fla., had ijuue an excniDK, anu, it appears, a suc cessful adventure with a Spanish steamer off the coast of Cuba a few daj-a ago. A Spanish patrol ship discovered the Three Friends and gave chase, firing upon the filibuster, but when the Three Friends sent back a Hotchkiss 12-pound shot fol lowed by a rattle ot small armB at short lange and a repetition of the 12-pounder's hots, the Spaniards beat a hasty retreat and the Three Friends landed theircargo of ammunition safelv on Cuban soil. which was quickly carried inland. The Three Friends then made her way back Florida. Spaniards are bold and doughty when they think they have an enemy in their power but when thev meet an "enemy worthy of their steel" they get out of their way on a double quick. Keep Him Afloat. So they are going to take "Fighting Bob" Evans from the Indiana and put him at shore dutv in Washington, are they?" The navy needa such men as Evans in active Eervice. It was he who said that if the government would give him the Indiana and a week's time he would go to Havana and give a written guarantee that after he had been there a couple of daj-s Spanish would be the only language spoken in hell for the next five years. That's the kind of men that made the old navy famous, and tbe new navy cannot spare them. Passing Away. Joe Rossin, an old soldier, was buried Thursday at the died and Soldier's tlome cemetery. This old vet had been an inmate of tbo home for about one year, but drew out and bought a house and lot on Main street near L. Schmieser, where ho resided at tho time of his death. He was borne to his last resting place by the inmates of tho Homo who turned out under Ihe orders of the com mandant and laid bim away under the stars and stripoa be supported when the life of tho nation was imperilled. So one byono these old veterans pass on to that bourn from which no traveler re turns. Gold Watch. Lucky numbers for Xmas gifts at tho Novelty -Store were: 1st prize, 849, R.
