All communications should be addressed to he PKE8S, Athena, Oregon ATHENA, APRIL 1, 1898. An issue of some importance has been raised by the proposition to throw open the new government forest reservations in California during the coming summer to the sheep, which, under the law, ae not allowed to run in these forest reservations, but the president has power to make exceptions. The coming season promises to be a terribly severe one upon the stock interests and the plea is made that unless the forest reservations are thrown open to the sheep, many flocks will fitarveJmkalh. , ,. WeTDevond question that the people will cheer fully accept the dangers and bur dens of war if in the opinion of the president and his advisers it shall appear necessary to invoke that terrible expedient in the interest of humanity and national honor. The soil of Oregon will yield quite as much gold as the frozen banks of the Yukon. It is more certain to come out, too. People who have the desire to acquire sud den wealth had better take the more slow and infinitely safer course and remain at home. If is the same energy is put forth in Oregon more profit will result.- Portland Telegram. Klondike relief has failed. It was an unwarranted undertaking in the first place. It was a case of supposed needs and has ended as do all such schemes if allowed to "wait for a spell." Time in this case proved the foolishness as well as impossibility of getting relief where It was thought needed. The state election of Washington this fall will be for the selection of two congressmen, a legislature, two supreme judges and county officers. The people will also vote on two constitutional amendments, one relating to impartial suffrage and the other to local option in taxation. ' All the humorists are not at large by any means. The prison ers confined in the Hillsboro, 111., jail, learning thai volunteers "were offering their services in the ovent of war with Spain, telegraphed to Governor Tanner:' "We are will ing to leave here at once." The Spanish government is find ing out some things in this country that Columbus never told them about. Columbus was a great dis coverer, but he didn't know it all. Ladies' Home Journal Answered. By Rev. L. Gkeen. One thing more mentioned by the Journal we wish to notico: In speaking of the kind of teachers needed in our schools, ho says: "No superintendent, with the best interests of woman at heart, should ask or allow any girl or woman employed during the week, to take a permanent class in his school, no matter what may bo the circum stances or necessity, nd no man who sees & woman at work during the week should ask her to do so." must say that this is contrary to the experience of the past, that women who have nothing to do make the best teachers. 1 fail to see why they would be more active in this work than those who aro accustomed to work. The Journal would have us believe that idle ness is conducive to Godliness and influence. I think it will take somotime to convince the people that the women who find nothing to do, the "society women," as he calls them, are more godly and more capable of influencing Sunday-school children Godward than the mothers who lay down their lives for them and whose constant prayer is that God may help them to teach the children to honor ana obev Him. The best women the world has ever known have been those who devoted their lives to toil. Thev have been purest in heart and life, and have influenced the world for God. "The hand that rocks the cradle" still rules and will rule the world. The eociety woman may be wealthy, as he says she is, and may attend regularly the festive board and fill her place at the theater and occupy a front seat at church occasionally," but the churches will be slow to believe that she is. the better qualified to teach success fully a class in Sunday school. As a rule such women know very little about the bible and less about teaching the child how to live as God would have him. She may be able to tell how to conduct a successful eame of progressive eu- cher, play a game of backgammon and conduct a successful tea party, and yet not be able to teach in the Sunday school. Again, the Journal tells us that it requires experience to know how to deal with and successfully teach the Sunday school. Now I don't know how ''old maids" and child less women in that particular quarter are, but I do know that as a rule, they have not had exper ience with children, and if called upon to deal with them, are very impatient and fail to influence the child as the mother does. Again, I ask how can they have that ex perience necessary for a successful teacher, if they must be as the Journal tells us, without any cares all the week, and if to do anything disqualifies therh for the position. Now, if experience is essential, and is power, as the Jounal says, is not the mother better qualified to teach a Sunday school class than are un married women? Wo say yes, a thousand times. It is evident to my mind that one great drawback to our schools, and probably the greatest, is the putting of inexperienced teachers over Sund.ty school classes. Young girls are entrusted with classes, who do not understand anything about the bible, much less under standing how to teach it; but this is no worse now than it has been, and is no evidence that the Sunday school is decaying. It is the duty of all God-loving people to help make the Sunday school all. it ought to be, and to accomplish this an exchange of ideas is necessary, but we cannot do this by telling the world that the Hchool is decaying. Our words should be hopeful and encouraging, although those are at the helm may not be ducting things in the very wav. Tell the child who who has climbed to the very topmost round of the ladder that he is going to fall, and fall he will. Let us hold on to all the good we have, maintaining the ground we occupy and as opportunity is afforded, climb higher until under the guidance of God we scale the highest peak and Btand secure on the summit of 1 perfection, never Bcorninc the deerees bv which we came. The mother who rocks the cradle and sings the sweet lullabies, prays continually and labors constantly for the crood of her child, knows what is in the child's heart better than anv one else knows how to touch and mould its life for good. She is the heroine and ever will be; doing more to mould the individ ual and national character than any other. She lives nearer to God and beinirin closer touch with the divine life, can raise the child nearer to God than any other. It is a great blunder to suppose for one moment that wealth and position in society, in the sense spoken of, is necessary to a godly life or a successful teacher ot chil dren. The best, most useful and most godly men have been taught by mothers to whom wealth was a stranger, but to whom God was well known, and in whose heart the sunlight of God's love never grew dim until it went down to rise in splendor on the shores of a brighter clime. Oh! for mothers whose lives are in touch with God and whose smiles are a benediction to mankind. Churches are. in mv humble judgment, catering too much to the whims of society. It is right to try to save theso society people, we should not for one moment think because one happens to be wealthy, that he is wiser than others. A more correct knowledgo will, as a rule, be found among the common class, as they are called, than among the wealthy. Yet, if society women will come in and run the Sunday school to better ad vantage I, for one, am perfectly willing. My all means let us make it a great power for good; but let us remember that it is a perma nent factor in the progress of man kind toward the goal of Christian perfection. (Conclusion.)
