With the Churches Baptiat Church. Ily J. K. I'. Cauhon The Jerico Road wuh the theme of the morning discourse. With remarkable clearness the Rpeaker led his audience to see: 1st. The hurt man or woman. The one hurt may be poor, an out-cast, sick and destitute, strujodintf against adversity. The hurt one may be a child who needs some (food Samaritan to Kladden its life, 2nd, The hurtinj? man. The man without consideration, with out feeling. He doesn't hesitate to hurt, Employers who don't give a living wage. The hurting man may be you and me. , !5rd, The heedless man. Heed lessness is selfishness and selfish ness is sin every time. Heedless in regard to another's worldly in terest and because he can, puts the pressure on. Heedless in re gard to Spiritual things. "No man careth for my soul." We bo often fail to improve oppor tunities. 4th, There ia a helping man. Jesii9 was a helper. "He went about doing good." Every really great man or woman is a helper. Sometimes everything looks dark, some kind friend comes to our assistance, the clouds depart and God's sun shine pcAirs in. Are you sad? Jesus bids you come to Him and he will give you rest. The world is full of helpers; of benevolent ministry. Will you be a helper? The pastor, instead of preach ing from his text, preached to it, Luke X:37. The choir of young lady stu dents from the college stirred us with their inspiring music. God be with them wherever they may go, and may their mission be a helpful one. There will be no preaching service at 11 a. m. next Sunday as our people want to hear the baccalaureate discourse at the college. The pastor will be absent but there will be services at 8 p. m. Prof. Wallace, a preacher of marked ability, will occupy the pulpit. FORES! FIRE BULLETIN Portland, June 10. -With about 800 patrolmen already in the field, to be supplemented steadily from now on, and with trail and telephone building be ing pushed rapidly, the forest protective agencies of the Pacific northwest are commencing the fire season of 1913 with more thorough preparation early in June than in any previous year, according to reports received to day simultaneously from all such agencies by the Western Forestry & Conservation Association. Al though it has been a wet spring, without fires in standing timber so far, the same conditions have retarded the cleaning up of slash ings and similar fire-traps, and it - is also feared that the law of av erages will result in a dry sum mer. Fire officials particularly urge the greatest care with slash ings and right of way clearings from now on to prevent fires from escaping or lingering ot spring up later. Any burning hereafter until October 1 must be with permit from a fire warden. Private patrol associations have greatly extended their acreage since last year, particularly in Oregon where the last legislature passed a compulsory patrol law. New legislation in California is expected to have the same effect. For the first time, all of the northwestern states will profit fully by the Weeks law under which the federal government contributes to State patrol. In Idaho and Washington the prin cipal railroads are clearing their rights of way of inflammable de bris and vegetation. Considera ble complaint is made, however, of county road supervisors and contractors who allow roadbuild- ing debris to accumulate in defi ance of law. Loggers are re ported more interested in fire prevention than ever before and are generally following the sug gestion of patrol associations to post rules around their camps in structing employees in precau tions and in steps to be taken if fire breaks out. In many cases camp superintendents are being instructed to turn their forces over to fire wardens on demand, without awaiting instructions from proprietors, since fire pre vention is Bet ahead of getting out logs. ' Features of this year's protec- i tive work will be great activity! by the government and the tim ber owners' patrol association in extending telephone and lookout systems and the perfection of much closer co-operation between private, state End federal sys tems under agreements for divis ion of patrol territory and fire fighting expense. It is estimated that not less than $1,635,000 will be spent for forest protection by all three agencies in Montana, Idaho, Washington and Oregon, distributed approximately as fol lows: State appropriations, $100, 000; timber owners' associations, $250,000; forest service, $1,250, 000; federal Weeks law fund, $35,000. Should it prove a bad ! year, the private expenditure, not being restricted like the oth ers, may be much greater. It was about $700,000 in 1910. In their reports to the Western Forestry & Conservation Associa- j tion all these agencies, in urging public co-operation with their ef-j ions to protect community re sources, lay special stress on care with camp fires and burning slashings. It is also asked that all accumulations of inflammable debris constituting dangerous fire-traps be reported to fire-wardens at once, so that if possible they can be dealt with before it becomes too dry. Dallas College to be Continued The trustees of Dallas College, at their annual session on Tues day, decided to continue the col lege in Dallas for next year, the school year to open in September. The same faculty was elected to have charge of the teaching. During vacation President Win ter will act as a pulpit supply for the Salem Evangelical church and Prof. D. M. Metzger will do field work in "behalf of students for the college. The commission on federation will continue its work in the interests of the federated school. Itemizer. Street Oiling. The subject of street oiling came before the Commercial club Monday evening, especially the time the company making appli cation for the work, would apply the oil to the streets, but noth ing definite could be learned. Thursday's Observer has the following to say of the company in connection with the proposi tion there: ''Notwithstanding: the assur ance given the council by repre sentatives of the Pacific Road Oiling Company that, if the con-, tract - was awarded it, work would begin within three days from the signing of the contract and although the contract was mailed to the company early last week, nothing has since been heard from it and the city offi cials are entirely in the dark re garding the intention of the com pany or when work will begin."
