(Editor East Oregonfan) Some time since I reminded the readers of your paper that this Is a Christian country; Ore sun is a Christian state; Pendleton 1 a Christian cl(y. In this country, in this state, In this city a man is born into the responsi bilities of Christianity, just as he Is born Into the responsibilities of citi zenship. He cannot refuse the re sponsibilities of Christianity any more than he can refuse the respon sibilities of citizenship. The question of Christianity has been determined long since. The great responsibilities of life no man chooses. They are Imposed without his consent Existence, the awful responsibility of living, Is laid upon each man whether he will or no; civilization, a man Is born Into that he must face the responsibili ties growing out of civilization. So all the duties and obligations of life are Imposed. A man does not chcose them. He finds them upon htm. And conscience, and the com mon judgment of mankind, and the law of nature, as well as the law of God demand that he shall bear them, and answer for the manner of that bearing. A sensible man, nn honest man, faces these facts. There Is no chance of shrinking. He must face them and answer for them. Now, as It Is with all these things, so it Is with Christianity. A man is born Into the responsibilities of Christianity. The standard of right and wrong brought to his opening In telligence, Is a Christian standard. He grows up surrounded by the results of Christianity on all sides. The law of the land, the subtler law of ethics and good manners which hem him In and under which he grows, are what they are because of Christianity. He stands surrounded by Christian ity, visible and alive. All these things are facts of a man's position. Neg lect of them does not annihilate them. Disbelief In them does not change them. A man can do nothing with the responsibilities of Christianity but face them and answer for them, as he does for all the other responsibili ties of life. Neglect of his duty as a citizen, de nial of his duty as a member of a community or of a family, does not change or remove the relations, or any of the responsibilities of the re lations. A man may make his whole life empty, fruitless, vile, by fighting with the facts of existence. If he will; but the facts of existence He upon him Just the same. So a man may re pudite the responsibilities of Chris tianity If he will; but It Is a Christian life that has gone to ruin. It Is not for any man In this city to decide whether he will be a Chris tian or not. This only is left for a man to decide whether he will be a Christian In truth and reality, or whether he will fight the purpose of God In putting him here, and spend his life In fruitless efforts to be as near a heathen as he can. Fruitless efforts, be sure of that. His place is fixed. By the law of Christ, and by that only, can a man be measured, can his life be tried. Mr. Editor, five and thirty centuries ago there were a set of poor creat ures who were slaves in the land of Egypt. They had cruel taskmasters over them; they had lost all hope and courage. One of the most pow erful kings of the time held them In bondage. One day a shepherd of their race went to the king and said: "In the name of the Lord God of this people I command you to let them go." The king mocked him, of course. "Who Is the Lord God, that I should heed what he says?" King Pharaoh paid homage to a Lord in the sky and a Lord in the river; to many kings who had been before him; to some animals that were use ful to him. There were some wise men who told him how he should worship these Gods, what he should offer them that would please them. But what was this Lord who cared for slaves and who set his power at defiance? Yet Moses showed the great king that the unseen Lord who cared for slaves was mightier than the powers which he worshipped in the sky and the river and the beasts mightier than Pharaoh and his hosts. And M'oses, In the name of that unseen Lord led the people out of bondage. into a desert through which they passed Into a good land, where there was no Egyptian bond age. And yet, Mr. Editor, we are told that these people disbelieved and distrusted their God, their deliv erer; and this, although He continued I to save them from their enemies and I Iran ftiom AtlVA. Atlfl thPTI WA A FP told how Moses, in the name of this unseen Lord, speaking for their God, from out of a mountain which burned with fire, amidst thunders and light nings, spoke of these people, and said, "I am the Lord thy God which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage." Mr. Editor, I believe that God, whom we cannot see, but whom we may trust, Is speaking these very words now at this moment to you and to me and to the people of this town and this land; to each man and woman and child. I believe that I could not speak If He did not speak; that from Him comes my power to speak and your's to hear. I believe that He speaks not only to your ears, but to your hearts; that In every one of you there is that which can listen and understand. "God spake all these words and said, I am the Lord thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the home of bondage. Thou shalt have none other Gods but me." And the rest of these words are found writ, Mr. Editor, in the 20th chapter of Exodus. They are the Ten Commandments. They taught the Jews what acts are con trary to God's will. They teach us what acts are contrary to God's will; to what sins we are Inclined. Our Inclinations are not different from those of men In the old time. These commandments show that sins have brought miseries on these Jews of old this book Is the record of the mis eries and the calamities which the breaking of these commandments brought upon this people; these com mandments show what sins have miseries on people everywhere; they show what sins will bring miseries on people everywhere. And they show that the God to whom we pray. In whom we believe, does not wish us to fall Inlo those miseries, that he would save us out of them. The fourth of these .comrnand ments which God spake to the Jews, which He speaks to us, Is this: Re member that thou keep holy the Sab bath day. Six days shalt thou labor, and do all that thou hast to do; but the seventh day Is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God. The Jews were told to keep six days as days' of work, one day as a day of rest. When they for got the days of work and the days of rest, they forgot that they were made In God's Image; they forgot that He was the lord of all. The master was hard to his servant and to his cattle. He thought of them as his, not as God's. Christians do not now rest on the seventh day of the week as the Jews did, but on the first. We begin with rest, but go on to work. Yet we ac knowledge six days of work, and one day of rest. And the day of rest re minds us that God has raised up His Son, Jesus Christ, from the dead, and has called us to be His sons and daughters In Him. So our Sabbath tells us that rest and our life are in Him who Is our Father, who has been our fathers' Father, and who will be the Father of our children after us. When we forget the day of rest and the days of work, we forget that we are the children Of God; we forget that our rest Is in Him, and that our strength to work Is from Him. We forget that we are one people with those who were before us, and with those who shall come after us. When we forget the day of rest and the days of work, we do not feel the blessing of rest and the blessing of work; we do not feel that rest and work both bind us to God. We, in these United States of America, have as much need to re member the fourth commandment as the Jews had; we have need to be ware of the great sin which they com mitted. Faithfully yours, HENRY DIXON JONES. MEN'S MEETING GROWING. Movement Among Members of Dif ferent Churches to Hold Series of Sitecial Meetings Is Well Received. The second of the series of men's meetings started some weeks ago by the memberships of the different churches was held at the Baptist church at 4: IB yesterday afternoon, and was addressed by Rev. T. R. Eg erton of the Congregational church. This meeting was well attended considering the rainy afternoon and the interest Is increasing. These meetings are preceded by services on the street, irf which short talks are given by different pastors, songs are sung and prayer offered. The services at the church consist penlng prayer, mtudo and a short sermon, and are closed with music. It Is the hope of men of the different churches to Increase Interest In this series of special men's meetings until they will beeome a permanent fixture In the Sunflay services in this city. So far the movement has been heartily received and men of all kinds and de nominations are cordially Invited te Join In them. Frightful Suffering Relieved. Suffering frightfully from the viru lent poisons of undigested food, C. G. Grayson, of Lula, Miss., took Dr. King's New Life Tills, "with the re sult," he writes, "that I was cured." All stomach and bowel disorders give way to their tonic, laxative proper ties. 25c at Tnlltnan & Co.'s drug store, guaranteed. A large number of experiments In New York have utterly failed to cure ccrebro spinal meningitis with antitoxin.
