Verse t What remarkable thing
had immed'ately pieceded Paul's Btart
for C- -lnth?
There Is no record of a vision or
iny special Divine Instruction, for
Paul going to Corinth; but is a good
man as much guided by God when he
Is not conscious of It, as when he Is,
and why? (This question must ' be
answered In writing by members of
the club.)
Verses 2-3 What was the attrac
tion between Aqulla and Paul?
How . do you account for U that
there Is an affinity between men of
the same trade?
Have labor men a refect rlpht
to band themselves together, for mu
tual protection, against the unduo de
mands of capital?
Has capital a moral right to' pro
tect Itself against labor?
Have business men a right to pro
tect themselves against undue compe
tition? Paul worked at his trade as a tent
maker for a living, Is there any mg
gestion In this that modern preachers
should do a similar thing?
A large proportion of the member

church, have the latent ability to
preach; ought not this ability to be de-
would be seen a email and vivid as
the moon, but a trance holds the
body inactive, and the eyes are fixed
upon the space above. Then quiet
ly a puff of wind brinjrs one down
again to realities as it passes from
darkness to darkness. Conscious
ness returns quickly and gently,
points out the aspect of the night,
indicates the larger celestial bodies
and as quicklv and pent!? leaves one
again to the tender whispers of!
sleep.
When there is moonlight there is
more to carry the eye into the re-
gion of dreams on earth than there j
is in the heavens, for the desert '
spreads out around one in a silver,!
shimmering haze, and no limit can ;
be placed to its horizons. The eye
cannot tell where the sand meets the
sky, nor can the mind know wheth
er there is any meeting. In the
dimness of coming sleep one won
ders whether the hands of the sky
are always just out of reach of those
of the desert, whether there is al
ways another mile to journey nnd
always another hill to climb, and,
wondering, one drifts into uncon
sciousness. At dawn the light brings
one back to earth in tine to see the
sun pass up from behind the low
hills. In contrast to the vague
night the proceeding is rapid and
businesslike. The light precedes its
monarch only by half an hour or so,
nnd ere the soft colors have been
fully appreciated the sun appears
over the rocks and flings a sharp
beam into the eyes of every living
thins, so that in a moment the
I camp is stirred nnd awakened. Ar-

MORE COFfrEE TALK
Dear Ladies:-
Nothing comes closer home to your husband than the
kind of coffee he drinks. Right here is where the problem of
taste comes in, and discriminating coffee drinkers are always
alert to get hold of a brand that has just the quality that goes
to the right spot.
But the problem does not end there, some brands are
one thing to-day and quite another tomorrow, and how could
you hope to please with such a brand.
Ij has always been my idea to get a coffee that pleases
and keeps the same quality day in and day out, year after year,
and my years of experience handling this coffee has proven
that we have it in Chase & Sanborn's Blends.
Don't forget the price twenty-five and thirty-five cents.
Once used, always used. We are getting boquets on this coffee
every day.
Yours very truly,

' i Steamer Victoria a Succes ?
The "Victoria," a steamer of
the stern-wheel pattern, built by
Dr. Parrish, of Monmouth, has
lately been launched on the Will
amette River. It is 70 feet in
length and 16 feet in width. The
gross freighting capacity is rec
koned at 42 tons, - and when
equipped and ready for passenger
service accommodations for 50
passengers will be furnished, a
side from the freight cargo.. On
Saturday morning the navigators
of the craft steamed up from In
dependence and tied up to the
old dock near the creamery.
Messrs. Strong and Mclnturff,
gentlemen who are behind the
scheme of organizing a stock
company for the purpose of equip
pin and putting the Victoria in
to service between Corvallis and
Si lem, called at the Republican
office soon after the vessel was
made fast at its moorings.
They made known their busi
ness and soon a reporter from
this office in company with the
gentlemen had the pleasure of
boarding the steamer and inspect
ing at close range her qualifica
tions as a river boat fur' all-ye;ir
service. ''"' ' '
The "ship shape" appearance
aboard the craft , indicated nau
tical knowledge calculated to
make good the claim of the own
ers that they could successfully
navigate the Victoria during the
high or lower water season on
the Willamette up to Corvallis at
least and possibly much farther.
The Victoria experienced no
difficulty in running the Santiam
riffles, nor at any point along the
river course, over which trial
tests were made has there lacked
double the depth of water neces
sary for floating the boat. ''
