"The teachings which haw
brought about such a phenomenal
growth are the fulfillment of defi
nite Bible prophecy."
Jlr. Erntbon summed up the de
claration of the faith of Seventh
Day Adventists as follows:
"One God, a personal creator,
omnipotent, eternal, unchangeable,
and everywhere present by His
representative, thes Holy Spirit;
Jesus Christ, our sacrifice, our
Redeemer and our only hope of
eternal life; the Bible as the only
infallible rule of faith and prac
tice; conversion as a special work
of the Holy Spirit; the perpetuity
of the law of God; the Ten Com
mandments and their biding obli
gation upon men; the observance
of the seventh day of the week as
the Sabbath, according to the com
mandment: the near, visible, per
sonal and literal return of the
Lord to this earth, but never set
ting a date for the event; non-r
conformity with the ways of the
world in its pleasures, follies and
fashions: baptism by immersion:
prophecy as a revelation of God's
purposes concerning the world.
The scriptures which teach this
gospel of the Kingdom shall be
preached in all the world, impel
us as a people to maintain a strong
campaign in behalf of missions.

Ask, Says Superinten
dent of Park
Approximately 20 tourists have
.stopped overnight at the automo
bile camping grounds since the
opening labt Monday, T. G. Albert,
, superintendent, said yesterday.
" 'Where are your windshield
stickers?' is the first question I
am asked," Mr. Albert said. "It
was the same thing last year. Pe
fore they register they demand a
sticker. Some of the people want
stickers who do not remain over
night, but all want to add to the
collection on the windshield. Sev
eral turned arcund and left last
year because we could not supply
.the demand."
Tourist travel so far this year,
and probably for the next month,
is north and southbound, with a
majority of them coming from
California, where they spent the
winter. Three young men from
Denver registered this week, and
through the government employ
ment bureau at the YMCA, to
which they were referred by Mr.
Albert, they obtained employment
in the woods.
Several permanent canopies,
about 8 feet by 10 feet, are being
erected over stoves at present. The
entrance to the camp grounds has
been graveled and graded, though
this work is proceeding slowly.

Do you ever stop to think, how
long a trip a letter yoq mail in
Salem can take for the small sum
of two cents? How many hands
and diversified operations it will
pass through before it reaches its
destination? . '
The answer to those questions
are vividly realistically pictured in

the Grand theater last night and
will hold the curtains there over
Sunday. The picture is dedicated
to the carriers who faithfully per
form their services early and late
and under all kinds of conditions,
that our national activities shall
function naturally, efficiently and
without interruption.
Director Johnson begins his pic
