Salvationists In Walla Walla.
The Salvation Army is often
treated with scorn and contempt,
says the Walla Walla Union, by
other religious denominations, but
in these trying times they are
proving themselves to be possessed
of more real Christianity than
many of their traducers. The sal
vation Army of Walla Walla has
established a free soup house in
that city, where those people who
are out of employment and with
out means can procure a meal.
. Those who call at the house are
given a good meal, and if they have
money they can pay five cents for
it, but if they are without funds
they are fed just the Bame. If
other denominations would follow
their example it would do much to
relieve the suffering! that is pre
valent just now. -
A Brilliant Solution.
A good joke is told on our worthy
friend M. A. Baker He had oc
casion recently to go to the mount
ains with his family to remain
over night. 'A man who was stop
niner at his house hardened to fee
gone at the time of Mr.- Baker's
departure, and as he did not wish
to leave his house, unlocked with
no one around, Mr. Baker was in
a quandry as to how he could lock
up the doors and still permit his
lodger entrance on his return. His
fertile brain was not long in de
visine? a scheme, however, to over
come the difficulty, and this is the
way he did it: He carefully lock
ed all the doors, then he wrote a
note telling his absent friend
where to find the key wrapped the
key up in the note and deposited
them on the center table. He then
made his exit through a window,
which he carefully fastened, and
proceeded on his way rejoicing.

The other evening a dusky
daughter of the forest got down
the. tupbia wheel at Byers' mill
for the purpose of catching eels.
Suddenly the set-screw . caught her
calico dress and in a moment she
was deprived of every stitch of
clothing, being lucky to escape with
life. Mr. Byers who noticed some
trouble with the machinery, went
out to investigate, and discovered
the squaw in the garb or lack of
garb of Mother Eve. She then
disappeared, muttering dire impre
cations in choice Umatilla lan

That the Athena Press is recog

Mr. Butrick of the firm of But
rick & Smith butchers while re
turning from delivering meat in
the country was held up by a cou
ple of tramps, at the muzzle of a
gun; they wanted meat, not money.
Mr. Butrick magnanimously do
nated all the stock in his wagon
to feed the hungry, in this case ob
serving that he trusted they would
use exceeding good care in the way
of handling their firearms in his
presence.
An incipient fire resulting from
a stove pipe through the roof, waa
quickly put under control by our
citizens last week. Only their
prompt action eaved the building
and perhaps many others from des

an action of the council?

he is not near so numerous, lhe
yield and quality of grain being
fair would -be all that could be
asked by the . farmer, only for the
democratic price it brings, while
the great four-horse loads of the
staple coming to the warehouses

were glad too seek quarters at a
lonely farmhouse. The woman in
charge got up an excellent Bupper,
killing a chicken for them, gave
them a clean, comfortablo bed, and
had a savory breakfast for them in
the morning. When they asked
her how much they should pay
her, she replied in a deprecating
way that, as times were a little
hard, she would have to charge
them more than they would like
to pay, but 25 cents apieco would
be satisfactory. She was aston

here give the quotation that I read:
"Heaven left not this fact the basis
of a thousand volumes to be gath
ered from abstract reasonings, init
iated traditions, ingenious analo
gies, plausible conjectures but frpm
a monumental institution
which was as universal as the annals-of
time, as the birth of na
tions and as the languages spoken
by mortals. An institution too,
which notwithstanding its demand,
not only of thetleventh part of all ,
time, but , pfjrie seventh day in
uninterrupted luccession, was cele
brated frohi the creation to the
Jeluej during "the deluge and after:
the deluge till the giving of the

The humblest pillar in hon

cumstances upon its front; and so
reads the fourth principle ot the
everlasting ten, remember that in

day; wherefore remember the sev

it." Popular Lectures pp 238, 284.

mitigate against the truth which
he once held. . '
Saul, king of Israel was once c
man whom God accepted, but final
ly became a reprobate. So J udas
Iscariot was at one time a follower
of Jesus Christ, but finally turned
traitor. This does not prove that .
they were not right at one time.
It on is a similiar principle that wc

accepted the ten commandments
the great moral law of God as thr
"everlasting ten," but afterward
retrograded to the extent of reject

then states that "I know we are no:
under the law." True we are nc ;
under the condemnation of the lav.
if we are obeying and are in Chrir
but whenever we break one con,
mandment, we are under the (con

so Christ ' says. "It is easier for
heaven and earth to pass than on;
little a part of a letter ot the lav.
to fail" Luke. IB: 17, t'aui Bays;
"I had not known sin except th
law had said "Thou shalt no: .
covet" "Wherefore the law is holv
and the commandment holy, an"
just and good." Rom. 7: 7. 12,
John says: "lyy that eaia j

Know mm ana Keepeui noi his com
mardments, is a liar and the trutli
is not in him." 1 Jno. 2:4.
So, I as a Christian in deed anc
in truth obey the commands of my
Lord as found in Ex. 20: 117, ir.
those ; "everlasting tf,n" which
Christ came not "to destroy but to
fulfill" or obey, and which he sayB
shall stand "till heaven and earth
pass."; Consequently if I call my
self a Christian and yet do" not
keep all the commandments the
seventh day too, as the habbath ot
the Lord; the Lord's day I bring
upon myself John's
condemnation, and ; we
know the Word says "all . liars
shall have their part in the lake
which burneth with fire and brim
stone.", Christ could as truly say
to many of his professed followers
today as to the Jews of old How
beit in vain ye do worship me,
teaching for 'doctrines the com
mandments of men." "And he
said unto them', full well ye reject
the commandments of God that ye
may keep your own traditions.
Yours for truth and justice.
