PA FESTAL- DUTY.
A Mr. Maltman Barrie, a mem
ber of the established Church of
Scotland, recently in an English
publication, denounces the claim
of any parent to impart religious
training and creedal teaching to
his children. He admits it is the
duty of a parent to provide for
thj physical and mental welfare
of his child, and that such duty
is rightfully enforced by laws;
here, however, the law stops,
and the religious training of the
child is left altogether in the
hands of the parent. The par
ent proceeds to impose his own
religious creed upon the child,
and thus interposes the greatest
obstacle in the path of the child
when it becomes a searcher after
religious truth.
Mr. Barrie would prevent this
by preserving religious liberty
for children that is by giving
them no religious training what
ever. He would require parents to
teach their children that two tri
angles having two sides and the
included angle of one equal to
two sides and the included
angle of the other are equal and
their third sides are equal, but
when these children come ask
ing, "What is God? What is
sin? What is heaven? If we
die shall we live again?" the
parent must say, "Go away,
children; find out these things
for yourselves."
The parent may believe in the
Divine entity, but he must not
teach his child this for it might
so bias him that he could never
accept Pantheism. He may be
lieve that an infraction of divine
1 tw is sin, but he must not teach
his daughter so lest it become
an obstacle to her accepting
some sort of religion that teaches
there is no sin.
The truths of science, the
theories of scientific philosophy
should be taught, but whatever
of religious truth the parent has
gained, even though he can
demonstrate it as clearly as a
problem in Euclid, must be with
held. The child must gain these
through his own unaided efforts.
It is not probable parents will
accept Barrie 's theories. In the
whole history of the race parents
have inculcated upon their chil
dren a belief in those things
which they themselves hold true.
It is by this means chiefly that
men have gained knowledge of
truth. Each generation has
transmitted to the succeeding
generation whatever it has held
to be true. What if error as
well as truth has baen so trans
mitted? The duty yet remains
to each generation of men to
separate error and truth and to
hand down the truth.
Men apprehend religious truths
more slowly than any other sort;
of truth, but it is yet true that
through the ages he has master
ed much of truth in the domain
of religion. Creedal statement
of such trut hs has been their

mere audiaphora the non-esser,
tials of creed, and unite ou the
great fundamental truths of reli
gion; but until then, much as we
may deplore it, we shall have
diversity of creeds, nor would
Barrie's theory change this con
dition. After all creedal ... teaching is
safer than no authorative in
struction. We cannot believe
that children carefully taught to
believe the creed of the Roman
Catholic, the Presbyterian or the
Methodist parent are likely to
become Holy Rollers-
GOOD MANNERS.
It is hardly necessary to ex
press the opinion that if the
ghosts of our ancestors were to
walk the earth today they would
be shocked in many ways. If
we shall judge the progress of
the world by the manners of its
people, it is not very apparent
that we are even holding our
own. Time was when good
breeding was considered of some
consequence in the world, and
the manners of a person, in pub
lic and private, was indicative of
his breeding. Perhaps in the
matter of manners would the
"shades" of our fathers and
mothers receive the greatest
shock.
Today the majority of parents
seem to be sadly remiss in teach
ing their children good manners.
Nor does the lack of courtesy,
good address, and the many little
indefinable qualities which indi
cate culture in the rearing apply
to children alone we see it in
young men and women who have
outgrown parental restraint, sad
to relate. There is a tendency
to unnecessary noise, loud, slangy
talk and general boisterousness on
every hand, and were one to com
pare present-day manners wich
what we have been taught was
acceptable as politeness by our
forefathers the result would not
be flattering to many who fancy
themselves well-bred.
We all recognize a good-mannered
young man or woman the
actions of an ill-bred person also
attract attention, but receive no
approval- It seems too many are
getting up in the world as
"Topsy" did, and she "just
growed."
LIAR.
In the not very remote past if
one man desired to insult
another sufficiently to engage
him in combat it was only nec
essary for him to apply the term
of "liar." To be called a liar
was to have your veracity as
sailed, and no gentleman would
submit to such an insult we re
fer to past generations. It is
different today. Moreover, the
word "liar" seems not to mean
what it used to.
By many men of today it is
not considered an insult to ba
called a liar it is a sort of joke
not meant to be taken seriously.
It is not unusual to hear men ap
ply this term, or worse ones, to
their fellows. Strange to say,
no offense seems to be taken.
:Ien are changing, or else they
silently a-jree on a different de
finition for the word "liar" than
was accepted by a gentleman of
fifty years ago
Surely the world moves and
time brings many changes. At
the pace we are going who can
foretell what qualities will be
sec & Treas. '

C. H. Abercrombie states that not long
ago it rained 137 inches in 25 minutes in
Iowa, and cites a paper from there as his
authority. This is some rain. As a
matter of fact, Mr. Abercrombie must
have overlooked a decimal point, for un
doubtedly the figures must have been
1.37. liven this-would have been ter
rific. A letter from "Camp Denmau" over in
Alsea states that the Superintendent is
industriously following the example of
the little busy bee, and instead of loung
ing about in .the shade, w engaged in
gathering wild raspberries and black
berries for winder use. He j-tates that

evening,.ar exhibition of moving pictures
depicting the great San Francisco disas
ter. The manager assures the public
that the exhibition is first-class in every
detail, and far superior to anything' in
this line seen here in the past. News
papers in near-by towns praise the com
pany. These are dull days over at the county
court house as well as elsewhere about
town. People are apparently too busy to
tile deeds, make their wills, sue their
neighbors for sland3r or do much of any
thing else to make times busy for the of
ficials. About the only item to be se
cured Wednesday under the big clock,
was the issuing of a hunter's license to
J. A. Archibald. This makes 104 licen

Russell Sage's widow planted the "deer

The decision declaring unconstitutional
the law exempting 9300 in personal prop

What has become of the good, old

refreshing to meet one of her kind again.
The democratic wheel has been given

bows to the public from the reflected

Trust to Nature.
A great many Americans, both men
and women, are thin, pale and puny, with
poor circulation, because they have ill
treated their stomachs by hasty eating
or too much eating, by consuming alco
holic beverages, or by too close confine
ment to home, office or factory, and in
consequence the stomach must be treated
in a natural way before they can rectify
their earlier mistakes. The muscles In
many such people, in fact in every weary,
thin and thin-blooded person, do their
work with great difficulty. As a result
fatigue comes early, is extreme and lasts
long. The demand for nutritive aid is
ahead of the supply. To insure perfect
health every tissue, bone, nerve and
muscle should talf from the blood cer
tain materials and return to it certain
others. It is necessary to prepare the
stomach for the work of taking up from
the food what is necessary to make good,
rich, red blood. We must go to Nature
for the remedy. There were certain
roots known to tho Indians of this
country before tho advent of tho whites
which later carao to the knowledge of
tho settlers and which aro now growing
rapidly in professional favor for tho euro
of obstinate stomach and liver troubles.
.These iiro found to bo safe and yet cer
tain in their cleansing and invigorating
c:Tnct upon the stomach, liver and blood.
Thooo arc: Golden Goal root, Queen's
root, Stono root, Blocdroot. Mandrake
root. Then there is Black Cherry bark
The medicinal princ:p!rr. rrrifMn in theso
native roots when extracted with glyc
erine as a solvent make the most reliable
and efficient stomach tonic and liver in
vigorator, when combined in just the
right proportions, as in Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. Where there
is bankrupt vitality such as nervous
exhaustion, bad nutrition and thin
blood, thn body acquires vigor and the
nerves, blood and all the tissues feel tho
favorable effect of this sovereign remedy.
Although some physicians have been
aware of the high medicinal value of the
above mentioned plants, yet few have
user, pure glycerine as a solvent, and
usually the doctors' prescriptions called
for the ingredients in varying amounts,
with alcohol.
The "Golden Medical Discovery" is a
scientific preparation componnded of the
glyceric extracts of the above mentioned
vegetable ingredients and contains no
alcohol or harmful habit-forming drugs.
