SERMON SUBJECT
Key. J. Attwood Stansfield
Opens Mission at St' Paul's
i Church i
'Taking for his theme the love of
God. the Rev. J. Attwood SUnsfield,
opened a 'preaching taisaion at - St.
Paul's Episcopal church last night,
which Is to continue throughout the
week,.
-Mr. Stansfield - is a man whose
Chief eloquence lies In his deep-earnestness
and fiery sincerity. There is
little of the "professional evangel
ist in his manner, i He does not re
sort to the customary methods of
the novel or bizarre In order to get
attention for his message, but de
pends wholly on the power of the
message itself. He speaks with force
na wun tremenaous seat, out witn
out sensationalism.
It used to be said of Phillips
Brooks, "He Is telling people what
God i has done v for the world, . but
what he "really expresses Is what God
has done for Phillips Brooks." The
same words could be used of Mr.
LStansf ield. . The auditor feels that
what he preaches is from the depths
of his own experience, and that bis
I believe In God," expresses vastly
more . than , an intellectual assent to
certain theological propositions.
Do not Imagine," said the apeak
er, in explanation, "that if you come
to the mission -it will -be to hear
something new. Mine is an old story
told again, because it Is wprth the re
telling, told as simply as I can
tell It." , , ,t
Yet he made hls.audlence feel that
after all there .was t a newness and
freshness about that which he called
the old message.
"God s Love for Us and Our Love
for, God" was the preacher's subject
last night. He dwelt on. the viUUty
and i reality of both loves; the hope
lessness of a religion that somehow
overlooks, the personal God., the God
to whom men pray. The coarse of
addresses .will be. continued tonight
at 7:20 and .everr .nJeht'thi week
except Saturday, concluding Sunday.
w
Other services for today, at St. Paul's
are a celebration of .the holy om
mwnion at 7:0 Oa. m., a devotional
service at 10 a. m., and a service for
children at , 4, p. m.

Miles Believes Position Could
Be; Combined With His
Department
At the meeting called for 3 o'clock
resterdar afternoon. In the commer
cial club, rooms only a-few men were
present to take up the subject of. the
appointment of a meat inspector tor
Salem.
Dr. O.-B. JHles, city health officer.
bad -a consultation with F. W. Stecs-
loff, 'chairman or the county commit
tee, on. food conservauon relative to
combining an inspector with, his or
flee. . . '
"In my opinion there is plenty of
work for a .deputy. Inspector, In ad-
diton to my deputy ,w. l. Bryant,
who cannot possibly attend to , his
own part of the business and Inspect
market,'! said Dr.. Miles. It Is also
I. think, just as Important that dairy
foods . as well as .darles and , meat
markets fish and stores that, handle
meats fresh,; have an insepctor, who
shduidrbo a man or experience wun
federal authority behind him and ap
pointed by the city, or, coure.. sucn
a man's certificates wonid pass in
Portland or elsewhere In the state or
In other states. ,
Mr. . Steusloff went even further
than Dr. Miles, claiming, that
slaughter houses where the .animals
are killed In the first placu shonld be
inspected, as when meat is once oh
the; block, or made ready -for ship
ment, it Is someumes difficult to
tell whether It is first class, and it
would be very easy for . a German
enemy to : "doctor" the carcass in
such a way ' that it would not oe
detected. Such a circumstance is
hardly possible, but it might . be
done. .
An effort - will be made by Ihose
Interested to get the matter in con
crete - shape before the proper au
thorities. - that . action may - be taken
in the near future.

OBITUARY
.Mrs. t Mattie . Neal . of Dallas, now
teaching in Yamhill county, Oregon.
last Saturday received . a telegram
from Los Angeles, California; saying
that ber brother. .William L. Jones,
had passed away., January 25, very
suddenly, with complications or
heart disease and lung trouble. ' tl
Mrs. . Neal . had sot i known 4 ber
brother, to be In failing .health, and
the, shock almost. overwhelmed her.
Of, a : family of, seven children Mrs.
Neal believes herself -to be ; the only
survivor. .
The father, George -W. Jones, a
pioneer of 14 9,1 with. his wife, Sa-
ram A... resided on what Is now Ce
dar Mills about six injles from j Port
land where all -the. children were
born, and lived till-grown. .
William L. Jones, tbe third oiaest
cbUd. -was. born in 183, .hence he Is
a pioneer also. - -
Tbe aftber was injured ;n a. run
away accident from which he surviv
ed bat three days, and - the core of
a family-and a. widowed mother was
thus- thrown on his shoulders at th
age. of ,15. years. '
But William bore the .burden
bravely and kept tbe family together
and helped to educate them although
be himself w&a obliged to .give up
school for a time. ,
But for all that Mr. Jones was rt
well educated ;man. When -other
lads were asleep yea coald find him
in his little rarm home pouring over
hjs books. . '
When his youngest sister, Mattie.
was old enough to teach school, and
help take care of an invalid mother.
the call came to William. to leave
the , farm 1 home and - the farm life
forever.1
While .William was hesitating be
tween inclination and duty, perhaps
it Has this sisters' advice which
cast the balance and sent him to
Hillsboro, . where the editor of tbe
Hi Us boro Independent offered what
seemed a good opening. Later he
bought tbe paper, and was its ed
itor, for several years.
He sold this paper and founded
the Port Townsend Leader, .which
