If Socialism should gain for a man the whole world and he should lose his own soul what would it profit him? If Prohibition should complete ly remove the liquor curse from a man and he should lose his soul what would it profit him? "The Son of Man came to seek and to save that which is lost." The pastor was in his happiest mood. ' Next Sunday at 11 a. m. the subject will be, "Faithfulness is All." At 8 p. m., "How Will You Vote?" Sunday School at 10 a. m. Evangelical Church. By W. A. Gukffkov How many of the Herald readers have heard of the new disease? It is called Morbus Sab baticus or Sunday sickness, and it is a disease peculiar to church members. First, the symptoms vary, but it never interferes with the appetite. Second, it never lasts more than twenty-four hours. Third, No physician is ever called. Fourth, it always proves fatal in the end to the soul. Fifth, it is becoming fear fully prevalent and is destroying, thousands every year. 4 Watch this space next week for the attacks and remedy of this fearful disease. j Our Sunday School has decided : to observe Children's Day this! year and in connection with it a' picnic. - i The Excelsior and Builders of the Evangelical Sunday School are to hold their regular business meeting and social hour at Hef-i (ley's this Friday evening. !

Monmouth, Oregon o aoo "The gospel is the power of God j day. unto salvation." Miss Clara Pechin, of Spring j Valley, visited friends here last I week. Dad Baptist Church. Hy J. K. P. Cakson The morning subject, was, "Re ligion a Specialty." This is an age of specialists, lawyers specialize, business men follow special lines of business, you would not go to a druggist to get dry goods, nor to a hardware store to get bread. One must be poetically inclined to enjoy poetry. Isn't religion a specialty? Spiritual things are spiritually discerned. "The nat ural man discerneth not the things of the Spirit." That which is born of the flesh is flesh and that which is born of the spirit is spirit." The man who is not spiritual twists the Word and finds no har mony in it. Wonder if we could not find more in God's Word if we were more spiritual. The man who is not spirtual compre hends not the wonderful truths of inspiration. Jesus Christ is a specialist. There is no stain on the soul that the blood of Jesus Christ cannot wash away. If this be. true, don't go to one who knows noth ing about religion to get religious instruction. One being blind and cannot see a flower, is no reason why one who has good eyes cannot Are we hindrances? "He that doeth the truth cometh to the light." If we would help and not hinder the cause we must pay attention to the means of grace public worship, prayer service, Sunday School, private devotion. Graham and Chas. Her- ren, of Monmouth, were here Sunday. Walter Strain and family, of Monmouth, spent Sunday with relatives here. Mrs. Warren went to The Dalles last week to see her mother who is ill. Misses Mona Hinkle and Millie Clark, of Monmouth, were on the Heights Friday. Mrs. Herman was an over Sunday guest of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Wunder, of Independence. Mr. and Mrs. Eb. Marks, of Bowerville, were guests of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Allen Towns,. Friday. A Few Good Rules for the Sick Room. A few good rules for the order ing of the sick room are given by Mrs. Alice Marks Dolman, ' in structor in dietetics and home nursing at the Oregon Agricul tural College, in one of her re cent lectures "Whatever the threatened or actual disorder may be, there are two important things to be done at the beginning," she said. "The first is to have absolute rest and quietness for the patient. The second is to keep the skin clean, to keep the bed clean, to keep the room clean, and to have plenty of good, clean, fresh air for the patient to breathe. "Rest means something more than just being in bed. It means freedom from petty annoyances, from unexpected jolts or jars, from creaking shoes or creaking chairs, or rattling windows, and from continued thinking and planning out of things. "In preparing a room for a pa tient, give her the cheeriest room possible, one that can be venti-i lated easily, and one that is far, enough from the kitchen that she ( does not get the odor of cooking ! food. i "It is wise to remove all un necessary furniture and all things that are dust catchers. This is especially true in the infectious diseases. Many things that do not annoy us or worry us when we are well, become a source of great annoyance to us when we are sick, so that the plainer a room is furnished for the sick, the better it is. The Cauliflower. Of the word "caulillower" a writ er in the London Chronicle says: "The modern spelling is artificial, and if we were to write it aa we pro nounce it, 'colly-flower.' we should be taking a step buck in the natural direction, '(.'oleflorve,' as they spell ed it in the sixteenth century, bring out the trtie meaning of the vegetable's name 'flowered cab bage' 'cole' being an old word for cabbage and 'florye' representing the French 'flori,' or 'fleuri,' flow ered. Hut because in Latin it was called 'caulillora' it began to be written 'colietlorie" or 'collyflorie' in English, probably by deliberate as similation to the Latin, and even tually even to be written 'cauli,' though still pronounced 'colly.' Meanwhile the second part of the word got popularly corrupted to 'flower.'

It is an ancient belief that a man's name has some mysterious sympathy with his nature, whence arise such stories as that of Rum pelstiltskin, whose power over a hu man being vanishes the moment that his name is pronounced aloud. It has been suggested with some show of reason that the modern practice of "naming" a refractory member of the British house of commons is merely a survival of this belief, which the Norsemen brought into England.
