January 16, 1920, our nation

Nations. The Guardian starts off by saying:
- "The "veil that hides the social condition of
Russia is seldona lifted, and when it is the vision
that the rest of the world gets is too often a
partial or distorted one. But there can be little

causes brought the nation to this
resolution.
First, the case against alcohol.
It is not necessary; for the health
of the body; indeed, it is a poison,
directly detrimental to the body
in whatever quantities, and hav
ing no food value whatever. Alco
hol as a beverage is an expensive
indulgence, both for the individual
and. the nation. We .were spendr
ing two billion and a half a year
for the toxin, three times as much
as; for education, four times as

couldn't afford the drain any long
er.. Alcohol is a dangerous habit
under all circumstances, because
the ranks of the drunkerds ars
recruited from the. ranks of the
moderate drinkers. Alcohol was
tlaylng 2500 a day when the
amendment was adopted. -
Second, . our Christian obliga
iona got I on. our conscience. , A
Christian Is not justified in doing
anything that saps the energy of
his mind, orthrow his. moral na
ture, and weakens his body in the
struggle with disease. Alcohol
does all these things. Further-
Bore, a Christian .is responsible
.o God for his example. If Paul
could eschew meat because it made
his brother stumble in his day.
how much more should a modern
Christian renounce strong drink.
Then, too, there is the Christian's
money. How could he spena tor
a harmful Indulgence money re
quired to meet the crying needs
at mankind? Recognizing his re
sponsibility to - God for every
thought and word .and deed, tne
Christian could do none other
wise than work and vote for pro

.Third, the war revealed on its
lurid background the nature of
the liquor traffic. It was turning
into . poisonous beverages food

food of the peoples. - It was di

It did not do so impulsively, but
after more than, a century of or

propaganda the Guardian continues :
VFor it is clear from Russian admissions mat,
grave though the failures of the Communist
. system have been in other respects, they have
in none been more serious than m the failure
M to remedy the dreadful congestion in working-
. class homes in the great cities. The complete
abolition of private property, and of rent which
followed upon the Bolshevik revolution not only
. put a dead stop to private building, but destroy- '
.ed the economic basis on which the municipali
ties could build.' The short cut to better things
which took the shape of billeting the poor, on the
houses of the well-to-do. and of constantly
evicting one set of tenants, that others might"
be installed induced ai despairing carelessness
about houses and - furniture under which both
fell into an almost irremediable state of disre
pair. ' The . . Moscow Municipalized uuuding

"The Home of the Soul"
; Sermon by Rev. Ernest H.
Shanks, pastor of the First Bap
tist church, Sunday morning, No
vember 1:
j The home of the soul in the
great spiritual realm of God is a
place of happiness and service. In
that beautiful home there will be
no lack of interest and delightful
employment. Nothing there will
cloy, nothing will grow stale or
commonplace. Men become so
much interested in earthly things
and worldly pleasures that they
forget the blessings of the- spirit
ual life- It would seem sometimes
that even the saints of God come
to think more of earthly advan
tages than of heavenly joys. TJbey,
come to be so taken up with 'ma
terial things that they do not seem,
to care much about heaven;1' We
have little patience with OTer
ethereal people, with a heavenly
gaze. Life is too real and prac
tical for that, perhaps. But there
is something fo be gained by a
certain degree of "other-world-ness."
This world is not our abid
ing place, our eternal home. We
are but pilgrims. . We "seek a city
that' hath foundations, an house
not made with hands, eternal in
the heavens." Yet some people
seem to be having such good times
here that they resent any mention
or thought of heaven. God is our
fefuge. The soul's ho'me'i! In
God. Happy the man who finds
his life centered in Jehovah God
and who lives the Christ life here
amidst the material 'advantages
and pleasures of this. world, keep
ing himself free from the sins and
defilements of the world. . This is
possible. A man may be In, the
world and enjoy its benefits in a
rightful way and yet keep free
from the sin of the world. -Not
all of what the world calls ad
vantage and pleasure are right and
good. He who keeps his eye fixed
on the heavenly home and ' the
ultimate goal ot the soul will have.

main' congregation. - the sermon
4 waan illustrated by the use of fa
large mounted golden eagle which
had been captured by a 'farmer
near Salem when detected stealing
the. lambs from the flock. jThe
"golden eagle" 1s protected by the
Oregon law, and a special permit
ha4 to be secured for tke killing
of the bird.'- It measured six! feet
between wing tips and had claws
two' inches long and could easily
carry lambs from the field to its
neat, " . .. j
; "Iter. Mr. Taylor used as his text,
'As in. eagle stirreth up her nest
fluttereth over her young, spread-
eth abroad her wings, taketh hem
aad beareth them upon her wings,
so the Lord hath dealt with you."
The eagle is the king of birds and
the emblem, of the American na
tion. The president's flag is a
large blue banner, with 13 yhite
stars across the top and a large
American eagle with outspread
wings in its center. During the
Civil war the Eighth Wisconsin
regiment of volunteers carried
with them a live eagle as a mas
cot which was known by the name
of "Old Abe." It was caught by,.
an Indian in Chippewa county.
Wis., and sold to the soldiers at
Eau Claire and taken with them
on their marches and into battle
The eagle has played an import
ant part in the history of America.
The Bible refers frequently to the
eagle, as there were eight differ
ent kinds native to the Holy Land
The strength of its . wings, the
swiftness of its flight, the keen
ness of its vision, the manner of
its nests, its long life and the
care of its young are all referred
to in the Bible. Its habits in stir-
ring its. nest and protecting it
young, and teaching them to fly
by bearing them up on its wings
were used to illustrate the deal
ings of God with his .own people.
; As the parent eagle broke up its
nest and forced Its young to fly,
so the Lord had broken the bonds
of his people and brought them to
a larger freedom and life in the
land of Canaan. To nestle means
to be provincial, narrow, self-centered
and self-satisfied. But God
wills that His people be free from
sin and selfishness and racial
bounds, and religious bigotry, and
have a largeness of vision and a
wideness of service to all the
world.
The eagle protected its young
from the storms and enemies by
means of its outspread wings over
its nest. So God's protecting pro
vidence and care is ever over His
own faithful children. Mother
birds have been known to sacrifice
themselves rather than let; their
brood be harmed. God po loved
the world that He gave his only
begotten Son. and by faith all His
people may trust Him for his pro
tecting care. "He shall cover
thee with his feathers and i under
His wings shalt thou trust" is the
promise of Scripture. With con
fidence we may stng !
"Cover my defenceless head.
With the shadow of Thy wing."
The eagle bore her young on her
wings when she. taught them to
fly. This rested them when ex
hausted and protected them when
in danger, and bore them above
the clouds and things of j earth.
So Gpd provides the higher life for
His people. The life that mounts
np as on wings of eaglesr The
life victorious and triumphant
over all trials and sins of me.
The life in the bright sunshine of
His love and grace which becomes
a type and foretaste of eternal
life in the heavenly land.
"Is the Bible Inspired V i
The special meetings held; in
the First Evangelical church by
Dr. Phelps had an auspicious open
ing Monday evening, when a large
congregation greeted Mr. Phelps.
His subject was, "Is the Bible In
spired?" ,
Dr. Phelps spoke with great
earnestness and held his audience
until the close of his address with
out a move. Eloquently and logi
cally he depicted what the Book
had accomplished tor the peoples
of the world, and the civilization
it had brought wherever It had"
been taught and proclaimed. He
seemed to satisfy the audience that
the Scriptures were God's revela
tions, inspired by, the Holy Ghost,
not In part, but as a whole.' He
declared that the Bible did BOt
contain" any contradictions when
understood and f comprehended
He asserted that the Bible "was
the Word of God, an not f mere
ly contained the "Despot, or tne
WOTd of God.". It was 41 strong
plea for the Holy Bible as ti
lnerrant Word of God. ; .. 1 . "
: Tonight he will speak on the

not only be tolerant of the differ
ing views of other churches, but
also of opinions differing In one's
own church. Rabbi Wise defines
"Intolerance ia the dislike of the
unlike." '
The second element is the culti
vation of a sense of loyalty to a
cause and to an individual or to
an organization. We must insist
upon a keen loyalty to the church
and the things for which that
church serves a community in Its
efforts to help humanity, rather
than practice a weak loyalty . to-
words a minister, board or trus
tees, music, ritual, or any individ
ual or personal matters.
The third element is the recog
nition of the value of. the work
ing membership. "Let us have."
said Mr. Wetherell, "few lookers-
on and more actors in the arena.
The real liability in modern soci
ety is not the revolutionist or the
Bolshevist; rather, is he the one
who in any phase of life who acts
courage and vision and faith. To
come out into the open in a posi
tive way to proclaim the princi
ples of progress as discovered to
us today by modern-thought.
The fourth element of church
consciousness is to insist that the
true purpose of the church is not
to amuse or entertain. Churches
are too often run on oysters, ice
cream and fun. They try to com
pete with places of amusement,
and often offer all kinds of bait
by which they hope to draw
crowds which, are .seeking an
hour's Inexpensive relaxation.
The true object of a church is
to deepen the spiritual life of men
and women, thereby leading them
to think and act on a higher plane
than would otherwise be the case
were it not for the church.

D. Dunlop invented the pneumatic

tne Dumps of ordinary wheels. So
he took rubber tubes, filled them
with water and fastened them to
the wheels. e Later he ot the idea
of filling-the tubes with air in

the pneumatic Ure. used on autos

Layman Talks on Church Con
sciousness "Perhaps the thing most needed
in churches today is a sense of
church consciousness," said Carl
B. N'etherell, Unitarian field sec
retary for the Pacific coast, and
eminent Sbakespereap scholar at
the Unitarian ..ehpfen. last Sunday
morning. Mr.,, Wetherell, who is
a very good friend of. the minister
here, shared the pulpit during the
morning services and spoke later
in tne evening. .
The, ; speaker said that ! church
consciousness involved three ele
ments. A sense of tolerance; lay-
alty to a cause; importance of a
working membership, and a reali
zation that the prime object of
the church is to deepen the spirit
ual life ot men and women.
"Tolerance is the most (needed
thing today," the speaker! contin
ued, and mentioned Van j Loon's
latest book entitled "Tolerance,"
as giving a good historical and
philosophical discussion of the
slibject. Tolerance is like j liberty,
not acquired by mere asking, but
kept by eternal vigilance and care.
