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

at their annual session on Tues

ter will act as a pulpit supply

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."
