CHANCE FOR
"ENTERPRISE SPIRIT." i
The fine town- spirit of Enterprise j
has often beon spoken of '.in my
presence. I myself saw something of i
It manifested when the town's repro-1
sentatlveB returned from winning the
decision for the High School.
Just at present the townspeople of
Enterprise have another excellent op
portunity to give further expression
of this "town spirit," by boosting
and supporting one of Its benevolent i
Institutions.
The Baptist Church of Enterprise,
with the help of the Oregon Baptist I
State Convention and the Home Mis-1
slon Society, has labored hard to
erect a church building that is a
credit to the town. It was our con
viction, that any new church edifice
should bo expressive of the new town
development.
In the face of serious financial strin
gency and the scarlet fever epldem-

pustules, blotches, sores and cutaueous
eruptions. Kasparilla is admitted to be
the best remedy for thnt lack of energy
and the peculiar debility so prevalent
during the close of winter and the opeuini;
of spring. For derangements of the di
gestive organs it is a, natural corrective,
operating directly upon the liver and ali
mentary canal, gently but persistently
stimulating healthy activity. Its
beneficial influence extends, however, to
. every portion of the system, aiding in the
processes of digestion and assimilation of
food, promoting a wholesome, natural
appetite, correcting sour stomach, bud
breath, irregularities of the bowels, con
stipation and the long list of troubles
directly traceable to those unwholesome
conditions. Kasparilla dispels drowsi
ness, headache, backache and despond
ency due to inactivity of the liver,
kidneys and digestive tract. ' It is a
Strengthening tonic of the highest value.
THE BEST SPRINQ MEDICINE
llOYT CaxMiCAX, CO. Portland, Oregon
Ic In the town, the churchas suc
ceeded better .than one might have
hoped. The dedication! came. Just
when the cry of hard times was the
loude3t and hence it was ' not pos
sible to get many cash pledges nor
'to get pledged every dollar of the In
debtedness, as we bad reasonably
expected to do. After the dedication
the State Convention sent to the
field Its pastor-at-large, a man of
large experience In every way, but
he had only begun to get hold of
matters when the scarlet feVer clos-4
ed the churx'h services and other
wise hindered the work. . Jf
But in spite of all the hindering
conditions, a $7500 church building
has been erected and all indebted
ness is provided for In gifts, cash, and
pledges, with the exception of about
$1300, and this without any mortgage
loans as yet on the property. The
project Is therefore ; wholly within
the bounds of financial safety. This
to my mind is In reality a great vic
tory. Rev. H. 11, Foskett, our pastor-at-Jargo,
only took the work up on
March 5 and the scarlet fever has
hindered. him most of the time. He
has, however, been able to make
some progress in spite of hampering
town conditions. He has' been able
to arrange by credit and transfer of
nlerlena nto. for nhnnr JSifWl nf the
Indebtedness and has raised $400 more
lu pledges. He will continue in
. charge of the work and On the resum
ptlon of the public services he will
be able to do more. As a man of
large experience, he is doing his best
tojuljiwt all matt era, to collect pledg
es, secure new pledges, secure a loan
, to cover the balance, etc.
Both the, church and the State Con
ventlon regret Jhat the peculiar town
conditions have made necessary some
delay in the payment of some out
standing, bills, Residents of Enter.
prise who know r.t first hand the con
ditions ought to be the most sym
pathetic and considerate. "Knocking"
is certainly not In order and there
are no grounds for any uneasiness
when the real facts of the case are
faced. Enterprise Is not long to be
"hard up." Some progress has been
mado, and more will be made. A
lltUe time will see many changes for
the bettor.
Here then Is the chance for the
Enterprise spirit.''
To sum up the case: The Baptist
Church, under hard town conditions,
. has brought a, creditable church build
ing enterprise within perfectly safe
! financial bounds. The remaining
j $1300 (out of $7500) can. be cared for
ill s lime ume Dy iuruier pieugea vi
loan on mortgage. The church is. do
ing its best not, only In its own
strength but with the cooperative help
of the State ConvenUon, whose pastor
at-large is the acUng pastor. What
will the right town spirit -do in such
a matter?
The "Enterprise spirit" should cer
tainly lead creditors to show consid
eration and leniency and co-operate
with Mr. Foskett in bis work for the
church ' If In mirow' nnt ihi i-lcrhr
i "own Spirit to hinder a benevolent
Institution,' handicapped by tempor
ary local conditions, yet doing its
best and making progress.
The "Enterprise spirit" should cer
tainly lead the townspeople, regard
less of church, creed, politics, color,
wealth, poverty and business, to lend
a helping hand in removing .the last,
and relatively small, part of the in
debtedness on a building that is a
credit to the town. How eatfly the
townspeople could do it, if they all
got into the matter! Cash or pledg
es may be, given to. our Mr. Foskett.
I have seen something of the "En
terprise spirit." I am now looking fo
another manifestation. Like the man
from Missouri, I am waiting to be
shown. The "Enterprise spirit" must
be Judged not by its claims but by
its fruits. ,
