SNARL PEOTECTION POBM JAPANESE STANDPOINT Almost every boy , feels within himself the possibilities of being a great statesman, scnoiar, or great in some other line. As the pass with their disappoint these dreams fade and fin years mentsl ally are blanked in 'our minds. It is almost human, ipdeed it has become common for men ' who have not realized their dreams to snarl and begrudge the good for tunes of the few men who haye realized in life. It makes for tin happiness. I . 1 The ' man worth while is the man 'whofcan smile when every thing goes dead wrong.; It takes courage. It takes grit, but the man worth I while can' rejoice in th3 i success .of his fellow man even if I disappointed in his own showing. The wheel of fortune tarns regu larly but it is made on the square and runs true, SPUDS AND FLOWERS I - More than a, score of years ago Japan sent a commission to the United States to make a first-hand study of the Ameri can protective tariff policy. They returned convinced s of its lugh. merits, and on June 28, 1902, the Japan weekly Times, Trn,mTTA hv nffinial anthnniv TMiVtlicViAf) nri Q Tf 1 1 o nndpp friA caption -International Commercial Policy, which, aet forth c " the views of the commission.

If this . work bej not done "by the people tf the county - in which a natural material is produced, it must be done by the people to which the material is ex- ''"'f ported.' The ability of a people to finish for final ' : ' use all natural materials, determines their ability to export finished products upon wich. the full amount of i work " required to prepare j a natural material for final use has been done, instead 'of ma-' ' tenalgia a natural state, upon which the least v.

I mate; to tell of the fertility of WHAT X MEANT BY THE GOD WITHIN prcs- 1 (Copyrighted by the. San Jose Mercury) fTWOSE who read 'modern relicious literature and hear JLent daypastbrs are frequently met with. the expression "the uod within." The seeker after truth is prompted to ask what is the meaning and significance of this expression?' It is not a modern one, but is found in different places in the New Tes tament. In Corinthians 111-16 these words are used: "Know ye not that ye are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you,?" And again in the same book, chapter y 1-19, we read, "What? Know ye not that your body .is the temple of the Holy Ghost, which is in you, which ye have of God, and , ye are noi your own?" And in II Cor. Vl-15, "Ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them and walk with! them." . And again in Romans VIII-9 to 11, we read, "But ye are not in the flesh but in the spirit if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you., (Now if any man has not. the Spirit of Chiiist he is none of hisi . j - : "And if Christ be in you the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. "But if the spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you." . ' j '' . . And in Galatians V-6,x"And because ye are sons God hath sent forth the 'Spirit of his Son into your hearts crying jAbba, Father." ( ' These expressions may seem too deep to be fully understood but they plainly indicate that God and His Spirit are in man. If this is so it -is of supreme importance that we should! know in what way God is in us, the significance of His presence and the possibilities to us of the possesion of that life. j It has been said that God is life and that there is no3 other life in the universe but His: that this life takes on a multitude of forms; that wherever present it is a purifying force and that eventually it vriU manifest the divine qualities and poVer in every individuality in which ' it has Been placed. To those who have been accustomed to think of God as a jnan of infinite power and wisdom it is difficult to -conceive of Him as the all-pervading life of the universe. But those whose faith is founded upon the Bible must believe, as it teaches, that God is spirit. They must also believe its statement that "God is all and in all." It is difficult to think of a man, though we, may think of Him as God, being "all and in all." We are also likely to have a very confused idea of what is meant by the word Spirit as it applies to God. We have been accustomed to think of those who have lived in this world and have passed out of it in death as spirits.. But the term as applied tjo God evidently has a broader and much more comprehensive and all embracing meaning. As the? universal. life God ean be land is "all and in all." If you, think of Him as a man sitting on a throne in heaven you cannot "conceive of Him as being "j&U and in all."' One must, therefore, either reject the Bible teaching in this particular or revise his understanding of what God is.: ine recognition oi uou as tne aii-pervauing opini ana me makes plain its i teachings in regard to God and opens to man a xieid ior unioiamcni inai is jniinue m its posmamc. If God is the all-pervading, animating Spirit and life of the universe we can understand how it is that God is in us and we are His sons. If we are the sons of God then Ills life isvithin us, possessing the possibility of development of in finite power that we now Know ' not of. we are now in the childhood of our existence, but few possibly yet quickened into life, our understanding, our vision, our power, both of i i I m. . ri . v T l i:U mind ana spini, yet m wnai migm oe icrmeu emurju, uur wnu a life throbbingl within us' that "'struggles to burst, the fymds that confine and restrict lt tnat it may umoia ana expana into the fullness, of the manifestation of its God inherent pos sibilities and Dowers. When one thinks of man's inheritance in this way, and com'prehenjds what lies before him he can understand the feelines of the apostle who exclaimed, ow are we the sons' of God, and it doetlj not yet appear what we shall be." We realize tftat thcusrh we are the sons of God we are children indeed, posubly, probably unborn children in the larger sense, but possessing within us a life that is divine. While we are in the physibal state in which most men live we cannot see or understand the working of the spirit of God within the human life. Our vision is limited to the discerning of physical things only.- We can see the effect of life, but we cannot see life itself. Neither, can we see God nor His spirit. We can see some of the results that follow the action of His Spirit in man. Those who believe in the inerrancy of the Scrip tures see in the life and works of Jesus an example of the effect of the life of God working in a human life that has'been cleans ed and harmonized to its higher action. In various places in the! Scriptures Jesus asserts that God is in Him and that it is he presence of this Liie that enables mm to ao me worsis that observers called miraculous. In John XVI-10 He says, 'The Father that dwelleth in me, lie doeth the works." In other places He also says that this life is in all men and that those who follow Him will do the works that He did. In short, the testimony of this great exemplar of the life divine is that the presence in man of the divine life will cleanse and elevate him and with its unfoldment will enable man to exercise powi ers and to possess wisdom that we now can ho more conceive of than we can comprehend God, himself. FURNITURE FACTORIES There are two furniture factory centers. Grand Rapids, Mich., and Fort Smith. Ark. In both in stances wood has to be brought long distances. Why are there no more furniture factories in Oregon? We have the timber bight here at hand and can make furniture with the best of them. In all our getting we should get a lot of furniture factories. We need! them in our business. A normal school gives , as one of the reasons for Jts existence mat u ieacne3 me jgiris cnarm. On first blush this ! may sound silly, but it ; Is very, important. The girl, who does1 not cultivate charm is left far in the rear. The charmless girl is the social wall flower, if she is invited at all. The world belongs to the charm ing girl. Every home is open to her; every heart reaches out to her. Charm should be taught all the while. College Airdale Lost At Fair Still Missing ORE G O N AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE, Corvallis, Oct. 15. Pandora C. has now missed two weeks of school at the college. She with her master attended the state fair and became separated from him in the big crowds attend ing the fair Salem day.' Pandora is an Airedale dog, has' a dark, curly coat, and answers to the name of "Doad."- She wore a harness of brown leather with a nameplate on the front. ' She is the only dog of her type not a relative of the famous Lad die Doy. Her friends' at the col lege miss her this term and are offering a reward for her return or information concerning her.

The Campaign by and With Young People Is to "be carried on among the 7.000 young men and women throughout the Unite! States and Canada who are affili ated with the Young People's Re ligious union. Training young people for church leadership, pro moting interest in liberal relig ion among college students, study ing the principles jpf the Unitarian and other iaiths.and interesting young people of the church in practical community service, Are some of the purposes as defined by Miss Sara Comlns, executive secretary of the movement; HALL'S FERRY NEVER BO The agitation to have congress -take away from the supreme court the power to pass upon the con stitutionality of any question is one of the most dangerous agita tions before the country. Con gress is not a deliberative body. It is a pell-mell of helter-skelter, , trading and time-serving. The ' supreme court is removed' from tbe turmoil of. politics and gives j to .every question 'before it care : ful thought. It takes time' to make Us decision, and the opin ; ions are exhaustive, r Then, ? if ; congress does not like the decision it can submit an amendment for Jhe various state legislatures But -it would; never do to; submit our - constitution to political interpVe lation.

Of course it is nice for America to lead, as usual, even if it is a bit burdensome to carry around. I Complaint is being made that the paved roads are congest d.
