VOL. IV COTTAGE GROVE, OREGON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 15, 1904. NO. 51 BISHOP EARL CRANSTON COMING This Noted Divine Expected to Hold Services at the M. E. Church Sunday from Krtnliif Tlemn "Public opinion Inn frmid." "Society is n nil 11 in and n drcelt." "The world 1 traveling too rapidly for Christian safety." "The trouble with the children ol God Is that they don't think." "Modern Christians do not give an avsrage of 15 minutes n day to serious meditation." "I he very fact that, we ore being swept for wiird by tills tremendous current proves that we nre lot doing any serious til lilting." These and mnny more epigrams of like char ncler were driven home by Bishop Karl Cranston yi nterday morning at the Tiylor-Street Methodist Church. Taking for his uxt Psalms lxli:5, "My soul, await thou In si le cc for God alone," Bishop Cranston signal led his return to Port I nid by preaching a most impressive sermon, of which serious thought mid meditation were the keynote. He declared that the world was trav eling so fast that its ptople were forgetting to think, ninl that 'he picteut age wa getting to be one of no deep con-1 vlctions. Iu tin hurry and pell-ttcll rush for business and money-mak-j lug Bishop Cranston saw a grave ilmiger. The church, he said, had j been caught up in the maelstrom, and Christianity was being swept! along, and all Wiiihc the followers of God's teachings were not devot-' lug lime to serious thinking. The divine drew a pretty picture of the Buddhists and Ilrahmius nud j the time they gave up to silent meditation, and how at last they re j ceived their inspiration. He insisted that not one iu ten 'members of the; congregation gave up 15 minutes to serious thought of God, and he made nil exceptionally strong plea lor them to devote at least 30 minutes out of each day to religious thought. If this were done Ilishop Cran ston predicted that a religious uprising, such as would turn the world tisldcdown, would result, , "Thsrecnube 110 soul solvation without thought" said 1,'Miop' Cranston. "You mint separate yourself from the mass, for the only honest hours we havo are those that are spent alone. It Is Impossible to I think an honest thought in public. We have improved on the teachings of the ancient too rapidly for safety, in the rush and hurry we have for gotten to think seriously, deeply and, unlets more time is spent with u"d, a mighty rr.r-li will follow. .

According to the account given by Phillip Spoug, who has been at work upon his claims iu the IIo hemfa district, he has uncovered one of the largest bodies of ore and close to the surface which has yet been found iu that district. The tuniirl in which the body of ore is found has been driven less than forty feet and the walls are some eighteen leet apart. About hair or the ore is of a base character while the test is an oxi dized, or milling ore. All the ore looks well, yet there is consider able in which the free gold can be seen, We expect to hear of other finds before spring as many of the owners of claimi are getting into the ground these winter months.

In the spring the company yill put in nn electric plant, which will enable them to light up their tun nels, stamp mill, nnd other build lugs iu connection, so that they will have plenty of light to keep the stamps dropping day and night.
