The' entire Christian community has been stirred to its depths, and many hare - been revived t who were serene in tae:r smugness of re ligious content - This alone Jias vindicated the , meeting; also the new spirit ot harmony, coopera tion, of working together, stand- lnr shoulder to shoulder, is splen didly worthwhile. Then the gospel of repentance, the remission of sins, has been emphasized vla such a way as, to touch many hearts. Viewed as a whole, ft has been a wonderfully successful revival, and this week gives every promise of being the fulfillment of the highest hopes of the Christian peo ple of 'Salem. ' TTTR CITY 3IAJTAGER ViJLX It la quite true that any system of government, municipal, . state, or national, depends In a- large measure ..upon the men who are chosen-to administer it. How ever, we contend that the, city manager form of government is more easily administered by good men than any other system yet devised. Sallna, Kansas, strug gled along with the old city coun cil form of 'government and did hot get anywhere; -it changed to the city manager plan. The first administration was a failure; the wrong man was employed as man ager. Then the commissioners employed a business man of the cityv ,W A. . Layton, and he has made the plan so popular that no one" would. think of returning to tne old form, of government. Sa lem needs the city manager form of government, and Salem has men right here to manage it; also they Will shortly be training men to be city managers :-just as they are now training them to be secretary of the chamber of commerce. WE DEMUR The Oregon Statesman has been publishing communications about the name of the new junior high school. " We find a sharp division of opinion. However, right here and now it wants to give its opin ion, which will not' interfere with the communications which we In vite, hut " wilf merely- state the personal position of the paper. The name Parrish Is an honorable one In Salem. It is' buried deep and strong In our history. The man for whom the building was named was an ' outstanding pio neer minister and, his work is still remembered. . He was pastor ot the First Methodist church here and ,was always recognised as a maa'among men. He was a mis sionary, preacher and citizen. Certainly Salem can afford to hon or such a name. ' x: - OREGON LAWS V The Oregon Statesman Is not ashamed "of Its slate in any way or in any particular; there is nothing to this talk about freak laws. The people have enacted the laws that they wanted to ' enact and they are" working well. We are un able to understand why there has grown, up Jn Oregon -a' spirit of derision and criticism on the part of its own citizens: This is not the Oregon spirit. Thir la a spirit that mast' be stamped out before Oregon comes "Into Its own. Oregon, In common with any other progressive state, ; has en acted laws T which privileges and special interests opposed, and to discredit Its laws is to malign the state." We most emphatically re sent such criticism. THEY ARE COIIN(b) The local columns of the Ore gon-Statesman contained a notice the other day that Victor Shawe, a distinguished writer, was com ing to, Salem to. reside. It Is al ways a' . matter, of congratulation when one of these distinguished citizens come. That, hi one ad vantage of living in the state cap ItaLV. It attracts such nice peo ple. " i ,- v - .'. ' ' ' One, of the reasons for the new Impetus we ascribe to our friend. Col. E. Hofer.'( The Lariat is equal to the. best, magazine published .'In the country. . It Is edited with an Idea and'a purpose. ' A magazine like that Is either a failure or it is strong enougn to attract. For tunately this' magazine attracts. and we have an idea that in the next "few years there will be a colony built up here of people who rally around the standard ot The Lariat and breathe the invig orating atmosphere ot Intelligent accomplishment. It is always good . to welcome such men as Professor Shawe here. . YE ; OLDEXE TYMES We hear! a good deal about the good old days of our daddies. If we are old, ..we sigh for them; If we are young, . we make . fun of them. .

It may be said that many questionsare still under discussion and undecided even in the minds of many modernists, but it is probablj not over-stating the fact to say ihat the following changes in belief are shared by all modernists. '. 4 - j , . There ia no local, physical hell. 'There is no' such place ns a burning lake of fire where sinners are tortured forever. Jesus Christ was not immaculately conceived by the Holy Ghost and born; of the virgin Mary as the only begotten son of God. : '.: - ' The Bible,:especially the Old Testament, is not unerringly correct in every word as it is written. ' ; ' To the thoughtful mind this is a. change in religious belief so great as to be revolutionary and to make necessary if ac cepted, a recasting of the articles of faith upon which the church is founded., x . ' - ' - ' " ' Whatever else may be said of the theory of the Christian religion, it must be conceded that if one accepts the premise upon which it is based, its doctrines are logical to the final con clusion. This premise is that God made man pure and sinless and gave him commands for the control of his conduct; that "God was angry with man because demned him to suffer in hell through all eternity as punishment for this disobedience Subsequently God relented in His atti tude toward sinful man and was ready to forgive his sin if proper appeal was made to Him for forgiveness. That this effective appeal might be made1, God sent His only son into the world to take on the form of human man to be crucified and give his physical life as a propitiation of these sins, that those sinners who accepted this propitiation might be forgiven and so avoid the punishment in hell for all eternity. ? But if there is not and never was any such hell, then it is claimed there was no reason for God's fion to come into the world in the miraculous way described that he might save man from its tortures. : ( T Revolutionary as this attitude seems, ithe more radical of the modernists go even further than this and assert that the fundamental basis upon which the dogmas of the church are founded is erroneous. This basis is that man was tOriginally made perfect and that through God he descended into sin. - They assert that man was not made perfect and because of this fact he could not fall from perfection. They maintain that -nothing that exists in the universe was per fect at the beginning. They say, that investigation shows that the suns and stars and pur own earth first appeared as revolv ing masses ofgas ; that through countless ages of development these heavenly bodies have been refined until they have reached the condition n which they are now seen and that this refining process will go on through other countless ages in the future until they reach a state of refinement that we cannot now con ceive Of. 1 '' ' V ' '- ' ' ' ' i They also assert, that research shows conclusively that the first life that appeared upon the earth was gross and simple in structure, and that ages passed after life first existed on the earth before the first man appeared. It is not claimed that this first man was a monkey, but it is assertedthat the bones and skulls of these early men that have been found show that they were primitative to a degree that makes them hardly recognized as the progenitors of the present human race. From this primi tive beginning they are able to trace . the development' of man through the ; cave men and the savage roving bands to the present time.'"- :. "'V; '.,.""-..i.....;..:.';;.: - f As a result of this study "they assert that it is proved that mankind today is more refined and advanced than ever before in the world's history, x In short, they assert that there is noth ing to be found in nature, through ScleUceT or in history either sacred or profane, to warrant the assertion that lnan; was made perfect and fell from perfection into beastiality and savagery. They cite the Bible story of the creation of man and of his being placed in the Garden of Eden as confirmation of the claim that the first man there described was primitive and densely ignorant, for it is itfiere, told that lie was naked and did not know it, and he lived upon the product of the trees of the garden,' presumably fruits and nuts.'. In short, it is pointed, put that an impartial ard intelligent study of the facts of science and history shows that there is riot the slightest foundation for the belief that man was created perfect and that he fell from that state ; that no revelation ever came from God to. this effect, forGod would reveal to man only the truth, and this is not truth that the story of the fall of man, the anger of God, the hell of punishment, the immaculate con ception and virgin birth of Jesus, and his crucifixion to appease the wrath of God arid to redeem mankind from the sin and fall of Adam is not a "revelation that has come to man through the inspiration of 3od but is a mythological .story that has come down to this age from the ignorantsuperstitious and paganistic past) , If these 'assertions and the proofs that support them are" accepted, the premise,, the foundation upon which Christian theology is based,' is destroyed and the whole" structure must fall to the ground.-; When, the matter is viewed in this light it is not strange that the Fundamentalists cry out in protest and demand that the Modernists tell us if they are thus to destroy, the". doctrines and: faith ot the Christian fathers,: what they will give us in their place. -To this answer that, they will give us teachings.

A GOOD JIArf GONE Marion Lawrence died in Port land where he came to address a Sunday ' school convention vThe world Is much richer because of this man's services.' and Is sadder today because he Is gone. Marion Lawrence was probably the( fore most Sunday school man in '. the world.;' -Early in life he conceived the Idea' of catching the children and teaching them religion, not creed. just religion. He, did a great work becanse it was much needed. . He Inspired others' to go into, Sunday school " work and he deserves a large share of the wonderful progress the Sunday schools-have made in the last cen tury.' The world needs men like this, men who give their lives to advancing religious causes. men who have the power of presenta tion and a personality to attracts ' OUGHT TO CONFORM - We notice that a member, of the ' faculty; of I ihe Oregon state university failed to turn but for cleanup day in his working clothes.

Rotarian Highway Signs - v : Are Completed in Salem .."The Rotary clubs of Oregon, sating In conjunction, have had made three large Rotary emblems which will be placed at the -various' highway- - entrances to the state one near Pendleton, one on the Oregon side of the Portland- Vancouver bridge, and the other near Ashland." The emblems which are of the same "design as those placed at the highway entrances to Salem by 'tne local 'Kotary club, were designed and manufactured by the Cooperative Advertising company of Salem. They are exact repro duetlons of the regulation Rotary emblem, about six feet in diameter - Alongside the emblems will be placed, signs . giving the meeting day of each of the 14 clubs of the state. : '.v.

THOUGHTS FOR EVERY DAY" By Editor J. B. Parker of The Con way ( Arkansas ) News Someone has asked, "Where's, the line between the good-folks and the bad?:' ' And someone has replied "There Is just one sign i . This good old World has ever had. It's the open, ready hand ' Ready for to' give or clasp. And to make you understand, ' There Is friendship in Its clasp." What reader of these thoughts cannot recall when a handclasp came as a ray :of suhsine and drove out clouds : of sorrow and distress. " ; - There is Bomethiag in an honest clasp of the hand; that words can not express. It. is the' grip of sincerest . friendship -and loyalty. It says what words can' never con vey, and this sort of a handclasp usually' Is accompanied by an ex pression in the eyes made 'more eloquent because fnexpfessiblein words. - ,-)' . So let your : handclasp . speak when you. meet.- :Let your hand carry the message of your heart and strengthen weak and faltering ones.

His home is in Canada and the northern United States. He U very similar to the ' somewhat larger Arctic Three-toed Wood pecker, which doesn't really live in the Arctic, but is found in the spruce and balsam forests of the northern United States. ' The Downy Woodpecker, left, below, is "only six Inches long.. He is a smaller and more common edition of the Hairy Woodpecker. He is one of the most valuable Woodpeckers, for be destroys great numbers of beetles, their eggs, and larvae. His progress up a tree is accomplished with Vhitches" up the trunk, beating a loud tattoo as he pounds away at hia. work. About six white eggs are laid in a dead tree in May.
