"Castorla Is an excellent medicine for chil
dren. Mothers have repeatedly told me of Us
good effect upon their children."
. Dr. G, C. Osgood,
lowell, Mass.
"Castoria is the hest remedy for children of
which I am acquainted. I hope the day is not
far distant when mothers will consider the
real interest of their children, and use Castorla

are destroying their loved ones, by forcing
opium, morphine, soothing syrup and other
hurtful agents down their throats, thereby

BACCALAUREATE
SERMON
Rev. Liddell Addresses High School
Graduating; Class-Sermon at the
Burial of J. P. Dickinson.
The High School graduating class as
sembled Sunday evening at the First
Presbyterian church to hear the bac
calaureate address of the Rev. Liddell.
The church was filled to overflowing by
the members of tine class and their
frCeimls. Beautiful flowers graced the pul
pit and (the well trained choir rendered
sweett music in accord with the occasion
and.tihe. theme of the evening.
In his address to the graduates the Rev.
Liddell said:
"Learn to do Well," Isa. 1:17.
I easeem the call which you have so
kindly extended to me to hoid' this ser
vice this everting as one of the highest
privileges accorded to me since coming
to the city of Asltorta. I consider it as
such, because of my initeinse interest In
the welfare of all the young people in
our city, and especially those who, after
long years of hard study and close appll-
cation come to that time of Bfe when
they are about to step out upon the
arena of sieW-dcpendence, to commence
the ttruggCe of life for themselves.
I further deem tt an honor 'because of
the great Importance of the subject in
connection with wthlrti uhls service is held
the subject of education a subject,
than which none of greuiter moment can
be found anywhere, as it stands related
to every phase of the Kfe-of every boy
and girl In these United States, and as it
stands related to the naWoiv In every
phase of its pot.tlcal, social ar.d moral
advancement.
The character and standing of men and
of nations are largely determined by
their attainments in the -various tJepiart
ments of knowledge. Hence it la that
we are told "knowledge is power." But
I am more and more constrained to go a
step further and say, knowledge applied,
of ooui'se, met merely theoretical knowl
edgeIs more than power-as tflnait term
is commonly undtretood it is life. No
man can study the history of the world
wlthou foeCng impressed by the strange
evolution of the successive stages of na
tional, social and moral life of the
various people's which lr.lhablt the round
ball. It might almosit be said that 'in
each successive age the nations of th3
world have put on newness of life, wh'.ch
In each has shone forth in lustre, Just In
proportion as knowledge has Increased
and 'been applied. Hence today, as never
before in all history, the fact is borne
into the very consciousness of mankind,
that 'knciwdedge is the vital necessity of
the individual, the family and the state.
In the great struggle of life we all know
that to succeed we muiit learn "learn to
do well." This is life's great law In
all things, "Learn to do well."
Last Tuesday evening In looking over
the progr-aim, Prof. Wright called my at
tention to your class motto, "Mah Mook
Mlnu.oos Conawny." "Labor Vincit
Omni," "Labor Conquers All," a beauti
ful and most comprehensive motto.
Now I want you to put your motto side
by side with the .text which I have select
ed tonlgiit, and I hope you wU never for
get e.ther of them a.ll Uiirough life, and
let us endeavor to dfaw from the two
together a few thoughts that will prove
he.pful all along the Journey, "Learn to
do Well," "Labor Conquers- All."
Theire Is no royal road to success. Then
Is no downy couch of ease for him who
would reach that goal. "For him who
would win his way to honor and fame
or gain the meed of a noto.e name," there
are the hJls caJid "opposition and diffi
culty" to be met and overcome.
"You envy me, do you?" said an emin
ent French soldier (Lefevre) to a friend
who was cO'mp.'.merJiinB him on his pre
ferment and goodly possessions. "You
envy me, do you? Well you shall have
ail these tilings at a better bargain than
I had. Come into the courtyard. I'll fire
at you with a gun twenty times ait thirty
pacts, ar.d if I do'n't k 11 you, all shuli be
your own. What! wlil you not come?
Very welt; then recollect that I have been
4.1 ot at more than a thousand tjmes,
and much nearer than thirty paces before
I arrived at the state in which you now
find me." How l.ke Uius friend most peo
p.e are; how oblivious to true conditions.
We see only effects, the benefits, the
successes which have been attained; wa
forget the to.l, the strenuous exertion and
jftimes the suffering and peril, the severe
strain of mind as Weil as of limb, by
which these effects have been produced,
these successes are ejLa.ned. But it Is
ever true; the drudgery of etudent life
must precede the proficiency of the
schoiar, "tihe (apprenticeship of dlffloulty
must precede the mastership of honor."
Let me lllutitrate. The ardent lover of
the beautiful will brave the difficulty of
the rough and rugged mountain steep
from whence to view the landscape some
of you have already done so. You have
tried It. As you looked up to yonder
peak, you thought that from thence th
view would be unobstructed, clear and
complete, but when you reacdved it, al
though ths view extended and the cir
cumference of vision was enlarged yet
you saw still another peak overshadowing
you, and even that surmounted, behold,
st: LI another cilently looking down upon
you, and when this was scaled, behold,
still anotiher wfth frowning mien In silent
speech proclaiming, "If you would have
vision clear and view complete you must
ascend my rugged steeps also." So It has
been with you graduates, has It not? Tou
have made one ascent after another. It
has been one difficulty overcome, one
hard task completed, only to find another
and siB.11 another yet more difficult. So
also Is It with the hl'.l of life. It Is
ever exceCsior! excelisiorl upward! on
ward! Looking at life broadly we would not
desire to (have It otherwise; for without
difficulty we could have but Uttfe display
of energy and but little possibility to
develop those characteristics which are
of true worth or value. Without trial
there can he Mttle, If any, of the self
disdpiine or fortitude or resignation or
of tihe lofty manhood and womanhood
which may be found on every hand
throughout tihe world today.
Where, but for these conditions, the
noble d;ed of patriarchs and phil
anthropists, the heroism of soldiers or
iiloirs or explorers of the past or the
grand achievements of the many noble
men of today. The faith and self-abandonment
of an Abraham, a Moses or
a Paul; a Wllberforce, a Howard or a
Florence Nightingale; a Washlnngton,
a GarabakH or a Grant; Columbus, a
Cook, a Livingston or a Stanley; a Lin
coln, a B.smarck or a Gladstone. These,
and an illustrious band which might be
named, met and overcame unusual ob
stacles, difficulties and trials, and today
their names ctand upon the pages of
history as burning and shining lights to
the world.
They "learned to do well," and hav
ing learned, their motto was your motto,
"Mah Mook Minuloos Conaway," "Labor
Conquers All." The voice came to them
in a multitude of forms from tbelr fellow
men. from God atTv, from ttis spirit
within. They heard it. and hearkened;
they were attentive to the signs of their
times from without, and trUa to their
convictions wilthin. Thoy saw .their duty
before (them, they took up the task, ex
ercised every power of body and mind
In things both small and great; they
tried, they struggled, they battled, they
forget self, they respected right and hon
ored law, and advanced step by step, In
many cases very slowly, but none the
less certainly, till they reached the pin
nacte of fame, and humanity's homage.
They, learned, they labored, they con
quered. The lesson may be a hard one
but It is liKlf-periEibie, the difficulties may
be great and numerous, but tlhey must
be overcome. The law Is ham and labor.
Again: Notice how this law is enforced
by all the conditions and relationships of
life. We all enter upon 'this stage of ac
tion In the same way ws beg.n life as
"strangers In a strange land." Every
thirg Is strange to us. The laws, usages
and customs are all estahClehed and set
tled before we come Into It. We have
brought nothing wltih us Into the world.
Neither knowledge, experience . nor
wealth. It therefore, becomes an impera
tive necessity, a necessity laid upon
every one of us, as the Illustrious Web
ster very tensely puts It, "Since I know
nothing and have nothing, I must learn
and earn." What shall be our position
and surrounding circumstances Is very
largely not ours to determine. At the
outset the conditions of life are settled
and we are compelled to accept the situ
ation as it Is and make the best of It.
We meet face to face every law of life
or nature, they are all settled, fixed, In
exorable, enforcing recognition and ob
servance from every creature. Obey their
silent mandates and admonitions and they
Willi be our friends and prove mighty
helpers Cn all the activities of life, but
disobey them, set them at naught, and
they will prove themselves Che most ter
rible avengers, as thousands of instances
of abjection around us on every hand
abundantly tesltlfy. Break or disregard
these laws of life If you will, but rest
assured that the time is. coming when
they will mete out their own penalty.
Years may pass. Gray hairs may make
their appearance and the tottering step,
but do not forget that every transgres
sion will receive its Just desert. Tonight
then, my dear young friends, (listen to
the test and also to your own motto,
"Leiarn to do Well," "Labor Conquers
All," and wherever your lot may be cast
on the broad arena of life remember that
"Honor and fame from no condition
- rise, - -
But act. well thy part, for there the
honor lies." "
Though the voice of nature be silent,
she Is nevertheless constantly speaking
and seeking in a thousand ways to en
force her injunctions upon us, and to
emphasize the utility of these lessons by
poinltlng out daily to every wide-awake
and thoughtful student of life this fact,
vis: That success dependls upon an estab
lished harmony between the lndiv.dual
and "the great syerjem of the world which
surrounds us.
In every sphere of life are these les-
sor.u emphasized. In the home, in the
school, in the college, In the business
house, and In the factory; and by all
our olvil, political ahd religious relation-
tlhtps with each other. Indeed, It may
said, and that very correctly, that
"whatever factors enter In to develop and
improve society," or whatever has con
tributed or will contribute to human pro
gress, advancement or succesu In any
direction whatsoever, when viewed
thoughtfully, will be found to be simply
the natural outgrowth and exemplifica
tion of the law set forth by my text amd
by your motto. Hence, how Important a
thing it Is that we should ever be alert
to learn each day's lessons from whatever
Bource they- may come. Close not the
eyes, clo&e not the ears, close not the
mind against any one of them, for they
are the only natural and true means by
which In childhood. In youth amd in man
hood and womanhood that we are trained,
d sciplined and fully equipped to meet the
full divine design of life while here on
this round globe we pass our days. Re
member then that success and victory In
life's great struggle will depend largely,
If not altogether, upon your strict ad
horence to, and the harmony of your
lives with th.s order-iearn and labor.
I emphasize the necessity of this be
cause of the higher and more important
signification of this combined text or
motto. Present life and doing, but form
the period of disapiir.ary trial upon
which the destinies of the future turn,
or -n other words, the present life is
but the period in which we each form
une eternal foundation upon which w
shall stand In the gri'at hereafter, and
hence, the most Important consideration
for us each is, how then can I direct
my efforts so us to meet this dual end
of life, present success and eternul vic
tory. It Is mont cerl.'alnfly true that he misses
true aim at life who confines his thought
and action merely to the temporalities ot
hs being. He who lives to learn and
labor for the mere purpose of making
"a success in business," to accumuiate a
competency, or to acquire a great for
tune, or only that he may become pro-fl.-ler.i:
Ln all the arts and sciences of the
age, and ln all worldly wisdom, .hat he
.-nay stand In places of prominence and
reat honor, wiitih power "lis-enl g sen
ates to command." He misses the greit
divine idea of life, He may receive the
commendation of his friends and ac
qualiiiances and the plaudits of the popu
lar throng for his great accomplishment.
ThousamJU may revere his name and
crown him with the laurels of praise for
the blessings conferred upon the race,
Just ss has been done unto such men as
Franklin, Newton, Morse, Edison or
Watts, Stephenson Robert Fulton, F.eid
or Webster, Jackson, Jefferson, lirlght
or a host of others which might be named
as great benefactors to the race. Bui
what were nil their achievements In
knowledge or all their scientific accom
pUsflmienliS to themselves? They blessed
the world in a thousand ways, because
of their high aims, consecrated purpose,
Indomitable courage amid apparently un
surmountable difficulties and their per
sistent and all-oonquerlng efforts. By
what they drive done, by what they havb
said and by what ithelr actions and their
words have suggested, (the whole world
has been advanced, more during the last
century than it aHvarnced during the ten
preceding centuries; the pulse of civiliza
tion has been invigorated and strength
ened; the wiheeis of human progress have
sped around more rapidly than they have
done in (all past history. All these
achievements for which the world accords
praise, honor and laudation without :lnt
or measure, for which -the world calls
their authors blessed. If these authors
rose no higher than their own or human
ity's temporal good, what is benefit to
them? We know that the temporal will
fade and pass away. The temporal glory
of the nineteenth century and the on
coming still grander accomplishments and
still greater glory of the twentieth cen
tury will pass away. Ths present is
built upon the patlt, the future will be
built upon the present, the glory of the
one will be merged and lost in the great
glory of the other, but as the inarch of
the centuries moves on apace there Is
coming a time when the whole scene will
change, there Is a point upon the dial at
which tihe great cwlngnig pendulum ot
heaven which, now moved by the al
mighty arm of God, Is swinging to and
fro through the universe, keeping stroke
with the d.vlne command, will stop, when
"the heavers shall be rolled up Hke a
scroll and the earth shall pass away,"
what of tilts' things then?. Will such
knowledge, such earthly wisdom; will
such achievements, such temporal vie
terles prove foundation sufficient on
which to stand? What ttilrrfc you? If
I were to ask the worldling I would re
ceive an unqualified affirmative reply,
but if I consult the inner consciousness
of my being, or if I consult ths Impera
tive word of God, I would re
ceive an unqualified negative, or I would
hear such words as, "Seek ye first the
kingdom ot Ood and his righteousness
and an these ti-rn sba'.l be added unto
you," or "Take my yoke upon you and
learn of roe, for I am meek atx) lowly
ln heart, and ya shall find rest to your
souls." v
Not for a single Moment would I seek
to turn your minds away, from the pur
suits of earthly wisdom and worldly pre
ferment or the goodly treasures which
the world holtfs in her hands for th
noble and the Itrue; they are iher Incen
tives to those who learn and labor. But
I would press upon you tnds wider and
more slgnlflcent truth of my text, vis:
that all temporal knowledge, all temporal
achievements, ovist be made a stepping
stone to a yen more blessed knowledge
and more glorious achievement ; a knowl
edge of Him who spoke Hhe words Just
quoted, "Leam of Me," for 'it'hls is life
eternal, that they might know Thee, the
only true God, and Jesus Christ whom
Thou hast sent;" and a victory over self
over sin. By these you will establish an
everhul.tng foundation, for He Is ths
"Rock of Ages." By these you Will form
a character whldh will abide forever.
The Bible speaks 'truly, and t calls us
to do a necessary thing when It says,
"Learn of Jesus," "Fight the good fight
of faith; lay 'hold on eternal life," "strive
to enter In." "The kingdom of heaven
suffered)) violence, and the violent take
It by force." These words, these calls
bespeak difnoul'tlea, they, employ per
sistent energy and effort, and Is not this
but in perfect (keeping with the law
which has governed you up to your pres
ent attainments? Yes, this is 'the great
law of nature and of life as set forth in
my text and in your motto. Then, ln
the future as li the past, for this higher
knowledge, this noblest achievement, 1st
the same spirit of self denial and sub
mission, tftie saime earnest conflict with
difficulties, (the same grappling with the
dragon of unholy passions and unhal
lowed desires, the same perseverance
against every form of wickedness, the
same unrelentless, unremitting 'determina
tion prevails In all things great and small,
learn and labor 'to do well and to con
quer, learn of Jesus and through Him you
will Bucceed.
You may not always secure to your
selves all-, the benefits of your highest
ambitions In this world, but ln the
heavenly city you will obtain eternal life.
You may not be able to gain the applausa
of men, but ln the world to come you
will gain the plaudit of the Prince of
the universe; you will hear (his glad wel
come, "Well done, good and faithful ser
vant, enter Into the Joy of thy Lord."
. THE FUNERAL SERVICE.
A Large Concourse of People Honor the
Dead.
At 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon thers
gathered at the residence of the late J.
P. Dickinson a large concourse of people
from all of the representattove famines
of the city and county, to do honor tlo the
memory of their loJte associate and fellow
townsmlan. JThie house could not hold
the throng and many frtood ln the yard
and on the sidewalk In front of the house
during the service.
The bier was arranged ait the head of
one of the large double parlors, the cas
ket being covered with white flowers ar
ranged ln beautiful designs, and the
rooms being also filled with flowers and
ivy emblems of the purity of the life
departed.
The sJmple, yeft always grand burial
service of the Episcopal church was read
by the Rev. Mr. hurt, and the choir,
composed at members of the choirs of the
Episcopal and Presbyterian churches,
sang appropriate hymns, among the num
ber beirig "Rock of Ages."
Rev. Mr. LlddeCl, of the Pretebyterlan
church, delivered the funeral address In
a few well-chosen words drawn' from the
life of the departed friend and father.
He said: -
"I am sure that tt must be apparent
to all, from the solemn service Just read,
how uncertain Is Ufe Itself and how sura
Is death. For 24 years a resident of Or..
gon, for 16 years a resident of Astoria.
the moot of you present this afternoon
have been weCl acquainted with the d..
ceased. Those of you who have known
him best I am sure will this afternoon
feel the deepest. Those of you who have
been allied with him as a ci.lzen and a
business man, I aim sure w.ll accord to
him that which we hope will be accorded
to each. He lived a life ln Itself com
mended by all men and a life commended
by God. For 60 years he lived a good
life. He buiit up a character based on
Jesus and carried its prilno.ples into his
daily life. In the home he was kind, lov
ing and generous as a husband and fath
er. He built up that character widen
will not only stand the test here but will
stand ths test of the great Judgment
lay."
The speaker then drew the beautiful
lasifon that the lives of the father and
mother, passed on before over the river,
were not loot to the bereaved fanvly
and fremiti retmrnlnlng, but that the
'halns binding the living to the great
hereafter were only strengthened and th
"ll'ii.is of the departed would not be for
gotten, but exiit as better angeis to lead
thosa here below to so conduct their lives
as to insure a happy reunion- in the (heav
en above.
After the service all were given an op
rrtu.n.ty to view for the last time the
well-known features of the departed
fnernd and resp.cted citizen. All of
th03e ln attendance followed the remains
to the boat landing, the procession being
'el by the numbers of the order of th
J. O. U. A. M., headed by Commander
Stuart. THie cortege was one of the larg
est ever in line in the city, the deceas d
being a ma-nber of only the one organi
zation. Tiie pall bearers were Messrs. M. J.
K nney, T. Dealey, F. J. Taylor, J, B.
Hlgslns. J. B. Wyatt, and W. B. Adair,
honorary pall bearers, from the ranks
of the J. O. U. A. M Ooipt. R. E. Howes,
J. M. A'bercromble, N. Clinton Sr., and
Mr. Partridge.
A MOST MlAONIFIOElNT iH'EIRLOOM
Is health. No gem ln tiara or coronet
so precious. Per contra, a hereditary
tendency to disease, often proves a fatal
legacy, since the most trifling cause may
fertilize (the kitwnt gems of ill health and
render the fruitage deadfly. An inherent
transmitted weaJuKSs of the physical con
stitution is more effectually opposed and
counteracted by Hostetter's Stomach bit
ters than by any other safeguard. Diges
tion and assHmlMlon promoted; due
biliary secretion, action of itlhe kidneys
and bowels Insured, are o many guaran
tees of permanent! healtlh, and these ar
the consequences, among Others of like
Importance, of a resort to the bitters.
This medicine also prevents and remedies
malartal compCalnts, nervousness, chronic
lnsomnra, rheumatism and neuralgia.
Such warnings as lots of appetite and
sleep, too, Should not be disregarded.
Ths bitters will restore both without fall.
