The steamship Senator arrived
down from Portland early yesterday
morning, San Francisco bound, with
a big list of passengers, among whom
was Mrs. Mary H. Leinenweber, of
this city, who has been spending a
few days at the metropolis with
friends, and will put in the balance
of the winter , season with other
friends at the Cay City and at Oak
land, The Senator left out at 11:30
a. m.
Captain Thomson, of the British
hin Claverdon. reports his fine ves
sel ready for sea and Falmouth, Eug-
land, with her big load of gram; dui
he will probably have to wait for the
high tides of Tuesday next, to per
mit his present draft of 24 feet to
safely pass the Columbia bar.
' The steamship Breakwater came
down from Portland yesterday morn
ing at an early hour and left out
for Coos Bay almost immediately. She
bad a good passenger list and plenty
of freight
The Portland-Asiatic steamship
Alesia came in from the Orient yes
terday morning about 8 o'clock, and
after due examination by the customs
and immigration officials, went on
her way to Portland. She had a fair
run over and an uneventful trip. She
was flying very light for a vessel of her
tonnage on a long voyage like hers.
The Daisy Freeman arrived in
from San Francisco yesterday morn
ing at 7:50 o'clock, and went direct
to the Tongue Point mill docks where
she will load lumber for the return
trip.
The steamer Yosemite was among
the early arrivals in this port yester
day. She went to the Tongue Point
mill for a short stay and then went
on up the river and will load lumber
for the outward voyage.
The fine oil tank Atlas went to
sea yesterday morning bound for the
lower coast of California.
The British bark Alexander Black
went up to Portland yesterday morn
ing and will load wheat for the United
Kingdom.
The French bark La Perouse, a
well known visitor in these waters,
arrived in yesterday morning from
San Francisco, and will go on to the
metropolis to load wheat for Europe.
The British steamship St. Hugo
came down from Portland yesterday
morning early, grain laden for Liver
pool, and will take the first available
bar Outward.
The schooner Alvena, from San
Francisco, arrived in yesterday morn
ing, and is awaiting orders for her
loading.
The schooner Jno. A. Campbell
has gone into winter quarters at
Tongue Point, and will stay there
until she is hailed out for a load of
some sort. The extraordinary cessa
tion of the lumber transport business
in which she has always figured so
prominently hereabout, accounts for
her retirement; and as the Oakland
and Alameda waterfronts in San
Francisco bay were so congested with
idle vessels of her class, she was
despatched here for her term of
desuetude.
The steamer Nome City came
down from Portland yesterday noon,
bound for the Bay City and went sea
ward later in the day.
The fine and lively schooner Irene
came down the river from Goble,
yesterday, and is ready to skip over
the bar the first thing this morning,
al lthings being as well prepared as
she is.

The revenue cutter McCullough is
due in this port at any hour. The
last heard of her she was cruising off
San Francisco. The customs authori
ties at this port are in possession of
her pay-roll and prepared to pay her
men off when they shall arrive; and
it would seem this fact ought to bring
her here in a hurry. She will be wel
come when she does arrive.
The handsome tender Armeria,
Captain Gregory, went to sea early
yesterday morning and cruised wmi
she found and picked up the truant
gas buoy that broke from its moor
ings near the lightship the other
night She brought it in to the buoy
station, where it will be repaired am
then reset.
The British steamship Amaxoii
cleared from this port yesterday
wheat laden for Birkenhead, England,
for orders, and will sail today il
possible.
TO n
0 COUGH OR COLD
A never failing home rem
edy for coughs and colds is
made from the following for
mula to be mixed at home:
"Two ounces of glycerine,
one-half ounce of Concentrat
ed oil of pine, one-half pint
of good whiskey, mix and
shake thoroughly; use in doses
of a teaspoonful to a table
spoonful every four hours."
This, if followed up, will
cure any cough that is curable
24
or
or break up an acute cold in
hours. The ingredients all can
be gotten at any drug store.
Concentrated oil of pine comes
out up for medicinal use only
in half ounce vials enclosed
in small, tin screw-top cases
designed to protect it from
heat and light. The bulk oil
and the patent medicine mnta-
tions sometimes put up in
wooden boxes should be
avoided as they contain resin
and other impurities that pro-
duce nausea and permanent
kidney trouble. To get the
right article be sure it is the
"Concentrated" oil of pine as
this is really the only soluble
pine preparation known to sci-
ence and is the result of the
experiments made in the pine
forests of Maine where camps
were established for the treat-
ment of throat and lung dis-
eases and where so many re-
markable cures were effected

ANNUAL INSPECTION
AND MUSTER
MID-WINTER "GET TOGETHER"
AT PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
-SPEECHES, SONGS, AND RE
FRESHMENTS.
A very interesting and most enjoy
able social was held at the Presbyter
ian Church last evening. As the
slogan at the head of this story says
:. ...., "it Tooethor" affair in
good earnest. The plea for and ex
empliticatiou of the broader acquaint
ance.
The address by Mayor Wise oi
'Good Citizenship in General" was
full of sound sense and witty sayings
in fact such a one as only May
Wise can deliver.
ThU was followed by the ma
chorus and then Manager John H.
wh nf the Chamber of Commerce
an mtcrcstimr address on
rhnrche and the New Astoria, He
said "Churches and the New Astoria
:. T.-t" fYintiininiur. Mr. White
said:
While some people have no pre
tt for living, others arise to the
dignity of the most sublime context.
and still others have a text uiruM
upon them
A text is mute often only a pre
text for saving something else and
many a tex.t is ridiculous when con-
VuU,. without context An occasion
or an opportunity is necessary before
one can have even a pretext ht
speaking.
"As this is a social ana a suu.v
1.1 ...,k-
occasion, the amenities woum
,l.v best be observed by leaving tne
discussion of the at-the-prcscnt-time
hU mvstcries of our religion
with the functions of the pulpit where
they more properly belong, under-
th.it knowledge is tne irum
and that only the truth is eternal.
"It is probably a fact that uui iew
f ,v of ti ve tin to that measure
of the truth which we already under
stand, although it would be difficult
explain why we do
not do so, for all of us have doubl
es exeprienced supreme moments
.i, u,- have determined to do so
and each of us would probably state
different reasons why we have not
done so. . .
Pi-tv man is made up of a spirit
ual and an animal part, a God-part
and a flesh-part. Thus the Christ lived
among men and exemplified that the
spiritual part may entirely control the
other part.
"And because of this lesson of the
Christ, the human race is exalting it
self, is with each cycle becoming bet
ter and better.
"Religion changes through the
processes of evolution and we do not
believe in many respects what our
forefathers believed, nor can we.
Truth clothed in rags today sits on a
throne tomorrow arrayed in royal
robes. The heretic of yesterday be
comes the hero; the leader of trium
phant hosts on tomorrow. , Our
grandfathers heard their ministers
preach of a hell of burning brim
stone in which the sinner who was
not baptized burned and suffered for
ever, though was not consumed. Now
probably most of us believe that
human suffering docs not and could
not appease divinity. Probably most
of us now believe with Tolstoi that
no human creature has a right to
approach any other human creature
except love, and such truth comes
from God. The philosophers oi our
own generation and they tower like
mountains over the graves of those
the valleys of the past
plved deeocst in social
and oolitical economy, would prob
ably be a unit in telling us that who
imprisons another enslaves nimseii.
W eonlv benefit the world as we re
place wrong ideas and conceptions
with better.
"inasmuch as we all find great
difficulty in living up to the ideals
set before us. we should cultivate
ct amount of mercy and
charity for those who are judged to
fnll still further below the standard.
Upfnrmation and not destruction is
now considered the highest aim of
soriptv. But a law is a fixed pnn
rinlo and can not be violated without
consequent suffering and confusion,
PUf the sun and the moon ana me
stars might not stay in their places
water miffht run uo hill, tenner
is ignorance of the law any excuse
for violating it. Christ, 1 Dencve
never violated any law in the mani
festations' of the so-called miracles
but mcrelv demonstrated that he un
derstood more of the law than the
neonle round about him. And if we
but understood the truth as Christ
understood it I believe we could do
whatever he did.
"I am grateful to the cause of truth
that we very seldom here nowadays
discussion among representatives of
various denominations iu to which
church is the true church, us to which
church it was the Christ, or the dis
ciple of Christ really founded, for
they have never profited anything and
never will. I would rather see the
nealou followers of good and truth
striving to make the children, the men
end the women around them better.
I believe that a church library, a
vhuMh gynasium, or a church swim
ming pool will do more good than
tin most able efforts of the most un
comprinosing doctrinaire. I believ
that Brother Gilbert did more good
list summer by taking the small
boys of his church for an outing up
Saddle Mountain than he would have
done had he remained in the city and
preached at those boys twice each
day. Religion is worth nothing to us
excepting as we live it; as we prac
tice it
"In the course of the evolution of
religion it is not now considered that
a long, sad face is the sign of a good
man The nearer one is to God the
happier he should be and he should
be able to radiate that happiness with
continuous smiles of joy. Heaven is
more likclv a condition that a place,
a condition of supreme happiness and
harmony with God,
"In all nations among all peoples,
the priests of religion have been the
leaders of the people. Show me the
man who controls the oehct ot a
people and I will show you the real
ruler of those people. Regardless of
the criticisms that are to be heard
constantly leveled against the
churches of America, I feel very sure
that the Aiucr'can churches arc now
doing more good for the American
nennle than thev have done at any
time in American history, and that
thev are doing more good for the
world in general than the churches
of all other nations cambincd. I be
lieve that the churches of Astoria are
doing more good for the people of
Astoria than they ever have done.
Dcnominationalism is the life of true
religion, for through it the whole,
truth will the sooner be learned.
"Rut the positive opinions about
the doctrines in most instances have
given away to that broader, better
feeling, the attitude and position of
the student and scholar, that after
all it is better to be an earnest
seeker after truth, an honest man
open to conviction, that it is to assert
without reason that one individual
opinion is the truth, the whole truth
and nothing but the truth, and that
another individual opinion, just as
eminent in every respect, founded
just as thoroughly on logic, is false,
whnllv faUc and nothing but talMty.
The trrrat task of the preacher, ot i
everv Christianity, is to banish suf-!
fering in all its forms, whether pov I
erty or disease, or that ignorance o! j
ruth called sin. j
"The thing called doctrine has j
nn more to do with making a man i
good or bad than the thing called
nnlitir. A man is good or bad dc-1
spite whether or not be believes in;
urinkling or immersion, and some
the good Christians I know do not 1
believe in either. Only the fool says
there is no God. Each one of us,
must form our own opinion about
God in our own way. ;
"Mathematics is the only exact;
scciencc. It is diliicuu u uemuii-
stratc some so-called sciences be!
cause of the number of theories ni-j
olved. But all truth can be demon-j
tratetl when it is fully comprc-;
tended..
"Rverv man. woman and child in
Astoria ought to attend the church
which comes the nearest conforming,
to his opinion. Every minister who
has a positive conviction should ex
pound his beliefs according to his
ability and opportunity.
"The churches of Astqria are a liv
ing .breathing force for good. The
usefulness of any church depends up
on its minister more than all other
things combined To illustrate, the
acknowledged leading minister of one
town may be a Baptist, of another a
Methodist, or still another a Presby
terian, and so on.
"But one thing seems quite posi
tive, that the predominating influence
of religion, of the church in America
today using that word in the gen
eral sense which would include all
denominations, is owing to the toler
ent spirit of all the denominations.
And from this time on, because of
the power of education which of it
self springs from religion, the de
nominations will tend to approach
closer, and closer together. The mys
tries of life, of mind, of soul, of intel
ligence, all spiritual attributes the
God-part of man, is the only subject
worthy of the attention of ouri
highest intellects. '
"No city, no community can pros
per without churches. The best citi
zens will not settle with their fami
lies where there are no churches. The
first information sought by a pros
pective newcomer is about his church
and the second about the schools.

ASTORIA ' OBIOOH
most of them know wherever there is a
church there also will be a school.
The church means enlightenment.
"I wish that every church in As
toria may prosper. Thus would As
toria prosper all the more."
At the conclusion of Mr. Whytc's
address which was heartily applauded
the Rev. Mr. Gilbert said he always
had an idea that Mr. Whyte should
have been a minister and now he was
sure of it.
The Glee Club rendered "Astoria"
and then City Attorney Abcrcrombic
talked about "Sociability and City
Building." It was expected he would
begin his remarks with "Your honor,
and gentlemen of the jury," but he
didn't the ladies' hats probably not
looking familiar to him in his official
capacity. However, his remarks were
timely and delivered in the straight
forward and convincing way that is
characteristic of Mr. Abercrombie's
conversation. He said socialibility
sa the foundation of the nation
without it Astoria would never be
Unything but a flag station.
He pleaded for unselfishness in
social affairs and decried the so
cial cxclusiveness which is the
bane of all church so-called sociabil
ity. Refreshments were served by the
ladies and a general good time was
the feature of the evening. .
Surely Pastor Gilbert and his good
wife can congratulate themselves up
on the big success of the "Get
Together."
