High and Graded S. a. m. and :l Pf 1 1 ffeelt'i Sermonette The Second Mile By CHARLES E. WARD (Pastor First Congregational Church) The great Apostle Paul wrote to the Phjlippians: "I press on toward the goal." Paul had often watched the athletes in the Greek stadiums and evidently admired their strenuous effort to gain the victory. For in his epistles he urges his converts to "so run that ye may attain." In this text he is likening himself to a runner straining every muscle and nerve to win the race. "Forgetting the things which are behind" the mistakes and defeats, the memory of which only depress and discourage "I press on toward the goal." Too many Christians keep look ing back toward the old ideals and habits of those days before their Christian experienpe began. Or they measure their moral life by that of neighbor Smith or Jones! "When in Rome do as the Romans do" is the most cowardly philosophy man can adopt. Jesus never said: "When in Jerusalem I shall do as the Phari sess do; when in the Temple I shall do as the Temple merchants and money-changers do"! The principal reason 'for the slow progress of Christianity over the earth is that folks who are Christians do not "press on," they settle down In that moral and spiritual state in which they first united with the church. Paul might hare settled down at Tarsus and become the best tent-maker, in the city. But what ot it? Without Paul, Christianity wonld probably have become Just a little sect of Judaism! And approximately one third of our New Testament would not have been written! Browning sings: "Find progress, Man's distinetiee mark alone, Not God's and not the beast's; God is, they are, Man party is and wholly hopes to be." Castle United Brethren Launches Drive Sept. 17 For Funds for new Unit Five days from September 17 to 21 have been set by the Castle Unite Brethren church for the fi nancial drive to put over the new church erection project, voted last May. The church will con struct ah educational unit, con sisting of basement and two stor ies each 30 by 70 feet, at a cost of about $20,000. The new building is to face on Nebraska street at the location where the parsonage now stands, so it will be necessary to move the parsonage to the alley and do some remodeling, until a per manent auditorium can be erected. The home mission and church erection society of the church at Dayton, Ohio, is offering the( lo cal church a gift of $5,000 and a loan of the same amount, with out interest, if the church here will match these sums. In the five days' drive every effort will be made to raise the needed pledges here to assure the gift from the Ohio office. The east ern headquarters has also agreed Prunes In dried fruit districts drop has been unusually heavy this year. Present price prospects are poor and growers are indif ferent. Young trees have good crop. More or less scab and sorie brown rot. Fruit is growing nor mally and there Is little evidence of drought in most localities. Heavy crop cleaned up much scab. Harvest in Roseburg district start ed about September 1. In Mllton-Freewater district fresh prune picking practically complete September 1. None dried this year. New type package, used to limited extent, has proved very attractive to trade, and has sold at premium. Government agencies cooperating to promote marketing of riper fruit this year. FRUIT, VEGETABLE MARKET IS QUIET PORTLAND. Sept. 12 (AP) Portland wholesale butter and' egg prices were quotahly steady today but the market tone for both was weak, largely due to sharply increasing supplies from the country.

REID NIMH HAS Reid Murdoch and company are using a new operation in handling cans at the local Front street plant that is a novel one in Salem. Cars are lined up every day in front of the plant and as the fin ished product comes out of the final operation of being placed In cartons the cartons slide auto matically over to the cars where they are packed and as Boon as car is loaded it is on its way. The use of human hands Is great ly eliminated in the labeling pro cesses and ever a machine is at work through the day automati cally closing and sealing the large cardboard cartons in which the cans are packed for shipment. It Is possible for this cannery to handle the fruit that is packed in this manner due to the vast selling organiiatron which is in back of it. With 17 branches throughout the United States con stantly handling the selling end of the product and 40,000 indepen dent grocery stores as customers of the organization the canned fruits are brought out of the can nery, shot to the branches and from there to the retailers in an almost continuous chain.

IIUieiBLES TUX TIIIOVED IS IDE Approximately $300,000 in second half payments under the state intangibles tax act were turned over to the state treasur er this week by the state tax com mission. There were few pro tests in connection with the pay ments, members of the commis sion said. It was estimated that only $50,000 of the revenue under this act for the year remains un paid. The year's receipts will ex ceed $1,000,000. Three suits attacking the con stitutionality of the state intangi bles tax law are now pending in the state Bupreme court. Argu ments in these cases were heard Tuesday. Under the excise tax act, which also is in operation in Oregon for the first time this year, sec ond half payments re not due un til October 1. It was estimated .that approximately two-thirds ot the year's estimated revenue from this tax has been paid, amounting to $400,000. Approximately $220,000 of this tax remains un paid. In addition to this, mem bers of the tax commission 'said, $100,000 will b collected after a recheck audit. This probably will increase the year's revenue from this tax to $800,000.
