Grants Pass Church Day
At the last meeting of the Minis
torlnl Association It wns decided to
celebrate New Years Day as Grants
Pass Church Day, when union meet
ings will be held nnd special pro
grams arranged and announced later.
A morning meeting will be held at
the Baptist church from ft to 12;
another meeting will be hold In the
Bethany Presbyterian church, from
2 p. m. to 1:30 p. m.. and one nt
tho Newman Methodist Episcopal
church from 7:30 to 10 In tho even
ing. The purpose of the meetings
will lu the unifying of the church In
terests of tho city.
From this Scripture basis he !
brought out the idea of all life being ,
in all ages a great "Thanksgiving
Castle," in which experience brought
tnen to recognize, the goodness and
rejoice in the bounty of God. To
each of four sections of the psalm,
verses 1 to 31, was given the name '
of a picture hung upon the walls of
this castle, all having in common the j
Christian spirit of self-sacrifice and j
brotherhood.
Under the first picture was in
scribed "He gave Himself," Christ
at prayer in the garden exemplifying
the principle of all life "Except a !
corn of wheat fall into the ground I
and die, It abideth alone, but If it
die, it brlngeth forth much fruit."
Thl3 thought was illustrated from
the history of Israel and the Purl
tans, both of whom were Inspired by
the principle of the cross.
Tho second picture was that of
"Peace and Liberty." At the St. i
Louis world's fair hung three pic- j
tures, the central one with the above
title, the cost of war being shown to )
the right and lfl, In the death of j
brave General Lawton and a humble
Philippine Boldler. The Balkan war
was the most cruel in history, ren
dering homeless 300,000 families,
nnd causing starvation and nii.sery.
War is only justified in defense of
tho uoblest principles of life, and
peace is the greater victory.
In the next picture the "Progress
and Plenty" that had outlived many
catastrophes, two great wars and the
San Francisco earthquake was con
trasted to the hardships and limita
tions of pioneer days, which a pros
perous farmer viewed in a dream. In
vention, healthful environment, sci
ence, education and religious oppor
tunities had largely removed the
limitations of the past, said the
speaker.
The last lesson was that all of
these were but splendid achievements
unto "Redemption," and placed a
great responsibility upon the Chris
thin church, as leader of the forces j
of the home, school and society. In ;
this development of the national con-
science, which for practical purpoBea
here, meant the Grants Pubs standard
of morality and spirituality, the par- j
cut must clasp hands with the public ,
school teacher, and unite with ,
church and civil authorities for the
betterment of life. Not only must
tho streets, yards and buildings bo ;
uniformly beautified, but all the ele-
ments of evil that lower the standard
of righteousness must be brought un
der the reign of purity and right.
"Thus." said tho speaker, "Grants
Pass should lead southern Oregon :
v America must lead the world to
the fivt of the vict'r'nus, onro'n;n
Christ."

AXI) CRAFTS SOCIETY
AIA1I.IARY WILL HOLD
MEETING DECEMBER 0T1I
A large attendance and equally
fine and more varied display char
acterized the exhibit made this year
by the Society of Arts and Crafts at
the Commercial Club rooms Saturday
night, In contrast to that of last
year. The interest and appreciation I
shown by the visitors was of great
encourangement to theworkers .
The decorated china and hand ;
wrought metals vied with each other
in attracting attention, much skill
and originality being shown in each
department. Mrs. Klocker's exhibit,
though smaller than last year, show
ed wonderful charm In color and de
sign. Several examples of Inlaid and
brocaded figures were given in the
weaving, color effects resulting
which equalled old, famous print In
loveliness.
A new feature of the exhibit was
the basketry, which will become an!
Interesting department. Tho needle- j
work, leather work, oil and water
colors, and exhibit of original design
occasioned much favorable comment,
the posters done by Mrs. Conklin
eliciting special admiration.
The work done by the members
during the past year deserves much
credit, and all will feel that the ob
ject of the society has been success
fully carried out.

Ladies' Auxiliary will be held on Sat
urday afternoon, December 6, at
2:30. All members are urged to
