Mr. W.T. Martin will probably take
in tho Portland fair.
Ezra Van has rented his uncle's

fear not.
Fverybody threshing. There was
some 8000 bushels of grain in the Park
this year.
Dick is still hauling lumber to Union.
He is a rustler and has a good team to
haul with.
Wallace Boyles, Arch Vanordcr and
Jo. South are at North Powder, haul
ing lumber.
Mose hasen't returned from Corn
wall yet. Maybe he is goiag to take
her in while out there.
The mill company is busy getting
out lumber for the Wilson and other
brick buildings in Union.
A. Van and R. M. South aro view
ing out a road. They disliked to leave

theria or putrid tore throat in tho Park

day, and sold them. The cows sold

Miss Carrie Rutlcdge also passed away

is she? Is she in tho orthodox hell?
Is sho a bright angel in the spirit
world or sleeping a sloop that knows
no waking? "Ho that boliovoth and
is baptised shall be saved and ho that
belioveth not shall bo damned." How
does that strike you? Are not those
glorious words to come from God?
Tho four-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs.
Wisdom damned because he did not
bcleve and be baptised! The beauti
ful Carrie Rutlcdge, who never did a
wrong act in her life, damned because
she did not believe and be baptised!
1 say d n such a doctrine as that.
Away with such a God. Some ono
will probably say that tho words quoted
does not apply to children who have
not arrived at the ago of accountability.
Tho book makes no distinction be
tween old and young. If it does not
mean what it says, what is the use of
having it at all? How much more
justice is there in that than llidir
would be if I should tell a child that
if it did not believo somo big long yarn,
beyond its comprehension, that I would
kill it? I see no justico in that pas
sage of scripture.
