Mrs. Hull then gave two piano se­

The basketball team which will
represent Lester C. Rees Post, Amer­
ican Legion, this year has made ar­
rangements to use the college gym­
nasium for their games and practice
work and they will have the first
game of the season on Wednesday
night, December 27, when they will
play the Willamette University Bear­
cats here. This should be a fast
and interesting game and everyone
who remembers what a splendid
team the Legion put up two years
ago, will want to see this game. Two
years ago the localjeglon team went
through the season without losing a
game although they played some of
the strongest teams in the north­
west. This year they have the same
men bask with some added players
to strengthen them. The line-up for
the game against Willamette next
Wednesday night will be Harold
Nichols, center; Don -Craw and Os­
wald Bast, guards; and Joe Nelson
aad Elliott, forwards. Carl Miller
and Harrington will be substitutes.
Dr. E. H. Utter is coaching the Le­
gion team again this year, and .Leon­
ard Gower la the business manager.
Besides the game with the Bearcats,
a game la scheduled with the Uni­
versity of Oregon first team to be
played here on Saturday night, De­
cember 20. The public should turn
out in large numbers for both x>f
these games to encourage the local
team aad also see a fine game. Two
years ago Newberg received name
splendid publicity over the state be­
cause of the work of our Legion
team, and we should do as well or
better again this year.

Baptist Church Here
EVANGELIST f i I e TERETT WILSOR
Told the Story o f His Life and
Conversion
His
Lost
Last Monday night Evangelist Ev­
erett Wilson told part of the story at
hie life. It was a startling tala at
wild romance on the frontier and
wonderful experience of salvation.
Born in Kansas be spent hie early
years on the plains of the Platte riv­
er between -Denver and Cheyenne.
Hie father, though a preacher,
parted with hi« son behind the pris­
on bars because of some criminal of­
fense, and the little lad tor yearn
never knew why his expected father
never came home to him.
In this early period when about
twelve years old he felt the call to
preach the gospel— a call that never
left him but insinuated itself into
bis unhappy, rebellious soul In hia
wildest hours. The mother had mar­
ried a rough frontiersmen, and all
through his teens the boy followed
the reckless, vicious, wild life with
which he was surrounded. After
years of this desperate eareer, feared
and hated! he found himself In Ore­
gon with a record of hidden crime tat
two states to dog his mental foot­
step«.
Hie home was now in tha ft lean
country of Oregon, and with matur­
ity came the determination to live a
more respectable life. He heard at
a preaching service In a school house
a mile away and went. The second
night the conviction was so strong
regarding hia sin that In trying to
leave the place he fell upon hia taco
and seemed paralyzed in body. Ho
could not walk, he could not stand.
They carried him to his home aad
here he lay upon the floor for over •
week, unable to find any release
from his torment, while bis mother
and brother feared for his sanity
and no one knew what was the mat­
ter.
s One day when his brother had
gone to a distant town for medicine
and his mother left the house for a
?i) upon^hiin
that he staggered to his feet to find
his mother.
Then suddenly he was conscious
of a person present, though unseen,
who laid a strong grasp upon hia
shoulders, turned him from his
course and almost forced him to his
knees by his mother's bedside. Here
with the cry of "God forgive me!'*
higstubborn spirit surrendered to bin
Maker and the Joy of salvation
flooded his soul. Thrilling In all hia
being and with a glad shout he cried
"Ma, my sins are forgiven,” and the
frightened mother hastened to the
house fearing her son had gone in­
sane. It was the end of a long
struggle and for twenty years now
he has walked in the path of praise
and Joyous salvation.
But the trail of sin had to be m ad»
right. Letters of confession had to.
be written to h ro governors in
whose states he had been guilty o f
criminal acts. He holds the letters
assuring him that they hold e a
charge against him. Restitution to
the amount of about $2000 required
the unremitting toil of seventeen
years but is now all paid and the.
guilty wanderer now stands free be­
fore man and God.
Sopie night Mr. WUaon has prom­
ised to tell of hia wonderful healing
when physicians had given him up
to die of a loathsome disease. How
God touched his body and has kept
him strong through the eight years
of strenuous toil since that day.
These meetings are held at tha
Baptist church, yet all who crave a
real blessing from God are cordially
invited.
Morning prayer meeting is held
from 9 to 10. Bible reading 2:20
every afternoon except Monday.
Evangelistic service every night nt
7; 80.
Next Monday morning at 10 there
will be a preparatory meeting for
those who wish to be healed, and at
some of the services next week
prayer will he offer«# for the healing
of the sick. Those who truly desire
healing should be present at as many
services as possible.
Ail persons wishing to confess
Christ openly will be encouraged to
unite with the church of their own
denomination. The prayers and co ­
operation of all pastors and all ehrla-
tlans is earnestly requested.
