What They Are Doing.
The members ol the W. C. T.
U. desire to express their hearty
thanks to all those who aided
them in their ntertainment giv
en at the opera house for the
benefit of the Free Reading
Room. Everythiug was done so
cheet fully that it is beleived the
participants have ail learned that
"it is more blessed to give than
to receive." They also extend
thanks to the public for liberal
patronage.
The receipts from the enter
tainment amounted to $61 which
gives about 55545 50 to apply on
the debt thus reducing it to less
than $210. There is an aver
age weekly attendance ac the
reading room of 120.
Besides papers and periodicals
pu Wished in Oregon, there is on
the tables the Seattle Mail and
H?rald, California Voice from
San Francisco, Search Light
from Los Angeles, Toledo Biade
from Ohio, Woman's Daily from
St. Louis, and many other per
iodicals from the far Eist. The
ladies are adding new papers and
periodicals as rapidly as their
means will allow.
Several publications have been
donated recently by unknown
friends. May the donors be rich

HIS SPLENDID ADDRESS.
To the Q. A. R.'s Memorial Ser
mon of Rev. Hurd.
There bas been much compli
mentary discussion of the mem
orial sermon delivered Sunday at
the United Evangelical church
by the gifted young pastor, Rev.
C. T. Hurd. Many, however,
were unable to be present Sun
day and for their benefit and for
the edification of the general
public the address is published in
full. Rev. Hurd said:
I count it a great honor to ad
dress you upon this occasion.
Forty-five years ago you stood
side by side, shoulder to shoulder
with your rrothers and neighbors
in the strife for your countrv.
But now, how. d ff rem! The
smoke of the battle has uani.shed,
the voice of the canm n is dumb.
There is no longer a fierce
charge or a repeated . assault not
the ground stiewed with the dead
add dying. Tne sun of A:nerica
rises on no slave and sets on no
master. The North and South
are one today. Ail is peare.
God has granted ou this vision
ere vou hear the drum beat the
last tattoo and over your graves
"taps" are sounded. ; He bas al
lowed you to partake of the jovs
of your victory and has allowed
us to thank yon.
Yet alas! You are . not all
here. It is fast becoming pain
ful to see the veterans of the
sixties try to march with heads
erect and striving to keep step
with the music of the band. Soou
the time will come when the
last soldier will have tottered
past the door, the lat leaf will
have blown from the tree and
they will be gone. 'Twill not
be long.
This year you will decorate the
graves of thirty-seven comrades
that have gone. Next year we
may have to decorate yours.
This year you will lay your trib
ute ol love on one nrw made
grave. He is gone but ia the
bivouac up yonder Comrade
Goodchild is answering to his
name. You will go to Crystal
Lake or to Gad's Acre on yonder
hillside where they lie, each bed
marked with a cold gray slab.
Eight or nine years ago I vis
ited the battlefield ol Gettysburg.
On that famous fi.-ld are 450
monuments erected in memory of
that great conflict. As I looked
at them I said to myself, "what
do they mean?" I walked over
into the National Cemetery where
in the midst of a t'lousand graves
of unknown dead, each marked
by a small square stone,, I asked
again, "what do these mean?"
Gj back with me and stand on
the bank of a river. It is the
J ordoa. There is a heap of stones
put there by Joshua to commem
crate the passage of the Red Sea.
iie reared a monument that in
the generations yet to come, when
thev should say "what mean
these stones?" they might re
member and tear God.
Wh t mean these stones by
vonder river side, in Crystal
Lake?
i'he Civil war is done; the
great armies are disbanded; their
tents have been struck; their
campfires are out; their muster
rolls are laid away. There is
another army which no order can
disband. Yonder in their camp
ing ground, these stones mark
their tents their campfires burn
in our hearts. Time has enrich
ed their meory.
"What mean these stones?"
They mean that in the time of
trial they and you stood the test.
They tell the kind of charac
ter they possessed. They show
their iat-nse love for liberty;
they mean adherence to the
right. They mean that priuci
ples ol justice must prevail in
this land of ours. They fought,
nrst, tor tie unity ot tee nation;
second, for human equality;
third, for their homes and per
sonal liberty. Let not our coun
I try's honor be tramped on to
morrow and the memory of your
deeds will inspire your sons and
neighbors to do as you have
done. That flag shall never trail
in the dust.
They mean that the value of
our present asset-of democracy
and brotherhood rest upon sacri
fice. You couuted life less than
public good. You taught us that
self abandonment is the law ot
true greatness. "Give" is the
source of personal power. Jesus
Christ went to Calvary but death
to him meant a larger life for
mankind.
The men of '61 loved life but
they loved their country more.
Everything good and great has
to be paid for. Life is a toilsome
up-grade. The cross precedes
the crown. Everything has its
cost mark. The world it full ot
little Calvarys for "without the
shedding of blood there is no re
mission." These stones mean a United
Nation, an Emancipated People.
Booker T. Washington whom
some one called the Demostheuese
of the negro race sai l, "You
found me a chattel aud left me a
raw." Bishop Deirick said,
'Yon tuvned our eyes from the
whip of the overseer to the wand
of hope. You turned our feet
from the slave pen to the path ot
freedom. You turned the slave
block into the school house. Yo-i
turned us !rom slaves into Ameri
can citizens." Liberty is the law
of out land.
They mean that we must con
serve and preserve the results of
your victories.
The dend are waiting for us.
Our sacrifice must match theirs
in loyalty, courage and devotion
to prir-ciples ot equality, liberty
and brotherhood that never shall
our fellow men be enslaved again
in this "land of the free and the
home of the brave."
They mean that death has its
forrows, destroys all distinctions
of rank and nature is equally
tender and our love knows no
distinctions. Death is a wonder
ful embalmer. They will not
change. In our memories are
many names. We treasure them
in this consecrated ground and
answer with fliwers "Dead upon
the field of honor."
Comrades of the G. A. R ,
veterans of a half century, may
the Father in heaven smile upon
you ia your declining years and
bless you. Look abroad at'd
when you have exchanged the
last embraces, have tramped in
the last march aud have answer
ed the last bugle call, know that
we will always remember you fur
what vou have done.
