The church workr at lha audito
rium hav eiploded several old-time
falaclea. One wa that the nugn au

that It never had bra nd never
could be warmed- The determin

thought It would be hard to light the
place, but the big new Tongsten and
thnr lamoa baa made the place aa
light aa clear noonday. Other skep-
tlca aald, "If the place could oe n v
ed and lighted, atlll you would not
ha .m tn har in it. That frightful
cho will convert the speaker's voice
Into rumbling thunder and the alng
Ing of the large choir Into bedlam
noise."
The ministerial and other crpent,
aa inr meet with ft aerloua i
problem. The echo waa there and
waa all It waa "cracked up- to be.
But they have built a large pavilion
In front of the choir gallery and tfver
the newly constructed pulpit Then
the echo aaw that It waa time tq
quit and It took Ita flight up through
cracks In the shingles, leaving only
one or two of Ita weak puny volcee
behind. In all the middle and front
portions of the room the acoustic
properties are now better than In
the average church building.
But finally the croakera said: "any
how, you can't fill the place. jTho
amall attendance will not warrant the
heavy expense. You ought to have
had the union meetings In our larg
est church." But on the second
night the earnest, eager listeners to
the good old Gospel would hav fill
ed every seat In the Baptist church,
every foot of standing room and both
the large vestibules with probably an
overflow still left out In the cold.
Clearly God wanted his children
gathered to be taught In somothlng
as big as the auditorium.
"Have you heard Taylor yet?" dif
ferent ones are asking. "No?" (Well,
then It Is time yon did. .ile has
something coming worth wWra every
minute. The large audience sat up
and took notice of his every word.
He brings a wonderful wealth of Ill
ustration and his stories fit the point
to perfection. He knows the bible
and can picture Us scenes in modern
day language. He knows other books
too, and draws many of his true stor
es from great historical characters.
While he does not sink to the coarse
siang or fierce abuse of Billy Sun
day, yet he often speaks in the lang-
unge familiar to many who do not
attend Sunday school. He is tear
less in denouncing evils in the
churches and outside of them. He
figuratively knocks one down for Ms
Bins and shortcomings, and then
slaps him up straight for falling. And
paradoxical as it may seem, he does
air this in a reasonable and gentle
manly spirit. ' .'
His sermon on , Wednesday even
ing on "Obedience to Qodi is prob
ably the best thus far. . v. C. C.

Th board ha decided to observe
the following rul-:
Rule Governing Suggestion
1. Preserve th most authen
tic name with as few rhangae as
possible.
2. Euphonious and suitable
namea of Indians, Spanish and
French origin should usually be
retained.
S. Long and clumsy paints
should be obviated. If the name
consists of more than one word,
the word should be comblnod If
possible.
4. Avoid the multiplication of
names. Only the name should be
applied to a stream or mountain
throughout it entire length. In
most case Independent names
should be given to the branch of
a river; and the use of "north
fork", "east fork" should be dis
couraged.

pastor of the Baptist church of the
same city, visited the union meet
ings in progress at the auditorium.
They were here to ascertain the ad
visability ot securing Evangelist Tay-
geographles and maps of Oregon.
Important to the State
While It means much to a commu
nity tn be correct on the map, the
board has found that many localities
are not recorded, primarily for the
reason that map makers have not
had adequate information at hand.
Some names are incorrectly spelled,
others mispronounced, others dupll
cated while many are omitted. Data
shows that Umpqua is pronounced
" UmD-kah also "Ump-kaw"; some
say Coquelle, others Coquille; Cow
some accent the second syllable m
Oie word Willamette and other the
last, and still others pronounce it
Walamat ; some accent Oregon on the
first syllable and others the last; the
word Qaquinna gets it on the sec
ond and sometimes on the last; Wil
lamette Valley and Webfoot; ' Arling
ton and Alkali; Mary's Peak, Marys
Peak and Mary Peak and Chintimi
ni; some accent the word Santiam on
the first syllable and some the last;
Lacreole and Rickreall; St. John, St.
Johns; Yachats, Yachaata and Ya
huts. The majority of Oregon names are
bits ot fossil history whic should be
permanently preserved to. the state.
The board will esteem it a favor,
therefore, if principals, teachers, pio
neers and others will furnish such
information as may add correctness
