Webb, who lives at Lurley about twelve miles east of Roseburg, met with a very painful accident last Monday afternoon. He was working alone in the timber at some distance from the house. He had lodged a small madrone tree and was preparing to dis lodge it, when one of the trees support ing it suddenly and unexpectedly gave way, the tree falling in such a manner as to pin him to the ground with a limb eight or ten inches fh diam eter across his chest and another forcing the ax he had held in his hand into his left ankle and instep. He was held in this position for about three quarters of an hour when he managed to free himself and binding up the wound as best he could he crawled about four hundred yards. From here be managed to make himself heard at the house and his father and others came to his assistance, carried him to the house and did what they could to check the flow of blood while Doug las Waite came to town for a doc tor. Dr. Houck was called and made the trip in about an Lour. Webb refused to be chloroformed, but sat up and "bossed the job" while the doctor dressed the wound, took nine stitches in sewing it up.

OUR SHOES SPEAK FOR TtlEMSELVE S. Sole Agents for the W. L. Douglas S boe I. ABRAHAT1 Proprietor. 4 One Door South of P. O. V The People's Store An essential,postulate of Christian Science is that it involves the healing of the sick as well as the re orming of the sinner, that the teaching of Jesus 1 contemplated deliverance from both j sickness and sin ; and it is because : Christian Scientists believe that salva tion from both sin and sickness are equally possible at this time through the teachings of our Master, that they are pronounced unwise and impracti cable. That Christian Science is the truth has been demonstrated by the healing of thousands, and that its method is the Christ-method is forever established I Ml through the moral regeneiation which is as noticeable as is the physical heal-j J ing. It is important to the people that ! f tney nave opportunity 10 pass juugmeni of the claims of Christian Science, and it is for this reason important that the healing should be made known through the testimony of those having a know ledge of of the facts, and that, wherever possible, this testimony should come from, the beneficiaries of the healing power. Every sick person healed, and every sinner reformed stands for a fact which cannot be offset by any amount of the orizing, and is of more value than a thousand academic disquisitions. It is therefore important that every Christ ian Scientist should be "about his Father's business," not only that in dividual cases mar be healed, but that the accumulation of testimony shall be so great as to remove all questioning from the minds of those who doubt and who hesitate to avail themselves of this present salvation from sin and sickness. Our Master prescribed a test for all 1 time, "By their fruits ye shall know i them," and to the extent that we are ' fruitful in good works can we be right fullv known as Christian Scientists We sometimes think that other matters which engage our attention are very essential to the advancement of our Cause, and in this we are not mistaken, , but we mnst not forget that healing the sick is for the many the most convinc ing proot that Christian Science is truly Christian, and that we are indeed dis ciples of the Nazarene. The Science of Christianity is taught in our test-book, 1 and it remains for individual Christian , Scientists to show forth their growing j understanding of its Principle, through j healing the sick.
