NIGGARDLY POLICY
Comparison Made of School Main-
tenance In States of Oregon
and Washington.
Reflecting on tbe niggardly policy
Oregon pursues on ber maintenance of
state edooatiooal institutions, tbe
Walla Walla Union draws tbe follow
iug vivid oompariiOQ, editorially:
"I be last Oregon legislature appro
priated $125,000 for tbe maintenance
of tbe state nuiversity at Eugene, and
a refereudam has been called on tbe
appropriation, tbns tying np tbe f nnds
of tbe nuiversity nntil after tbe Jnne
election. Heretofore tbe largest ap
propriation ever made for tbe Oregon
university was $17,600. Even tbe
larger sum seems ridiculously small in
the state of Washington, where tbe
appropriation for tbe state nuiversity
at Seattle averages abont $350,000,
and at tbe last session ot tbe legisla
ture was only a little short of oue mil
lion, if we count tbe appropriation for
uew buildings in coujnnotion with the
Lak e Washington shore lands given to
the Alaska-Yukon exposition first and
tbeu tbe usufruct to tbe niuversity.
"It 'is uo wonder that Oregon is
. loobedjupon as a mossback state 'and
it is so far behind Washington in tbe
development of its equally ricb re
sources when suob niggardly tactics
are nsnd iu dealing with state educa
tional institutions. If tbe retorendum
results in tbe defeat of the $125,000
appropriation, it will bave tbe effect
of calliug a bait on tbe effort being
made in several states to adopt tb
Oregon plan of direot legislation. Tbe
Washington state university would
bave been closed long ago if it bad
been foroed to subsist on a pitauoe of
$47,500 a year, and eveu $125,000
would bave barely kept tbe institution
alive. If Oregou would attract tbe
best class of immigrants from tbe
eastern states it should adopt a more
literal policy toward its educational
institutions. It is to bo hoped for tbe
good name of tbe state that tbe people
will vote overwhelmingly next June
for tbe larger appropriaiou. '
II SOUL
IN FOUR PARTS.
By Rev. Israel Putnam.
Part First.
To tbe thoughtful, God aud man
loving student of present day condi
tions this is a most serious snbjeot.
Tbe impression, has some way gained
footing, with some well meaning lay
meu, as well as ministers, that all
ministers are not culled to be soul
winners. Man-made are not, tut God-
called, are, if His glory te first sought;
but not ueoessarily iu all places, for
unbelief, as in Matt. 13, 58 aud other
causes prevail often, so tbe work is
greatly hindered, but there are few
oases of this kind.
Some assert boldly and with digni
fied air, their peculiar gift is to build
fine edifices, others to secure large
fnuds for benevoleuoos, others to
move men by eloquence and long lec
tures, aud still others bave ambition
v to be great preaobers, tbe abuse of
wbioh ambition has bold to many sorts
of litorary trioks; so they often bave
. os mvHh to say about Socrates, or
Teuuysou, or Hill Nye as Jesus Christ.
Christ iu oboosiug bis Apostles, left
us on example for all men and forever,
wbioh honest and intelligent investi
gation onunot mistake aud proves be
yond question that when He calls meu
to be fishers of other men He turns
eaob and all peoulinr gifts to oount in
winning them from sin. Can it truth
fully be said than auy whom He called
were not oalled to briug the sinful
world to Ood? Most oortaiuly not.
But look, especially, at Matbew the
business man, Peter tbe oursing fisher
man, who, with the other original
eleven.' was unlearned, aud Paul the
sobolar.
Wore they not all soul-winners, and
soul-winners always, while on earth?
True, "Tbe perfootiug of the saints"
is very esseutial, but tbe birth preoedea
the training aud, os it looks to me, is
the first aud chief oousideratiou of
every minister: Neither does the
Word show that oue set of ministers
wou and another set trained, but rath
er that they who won also trained, or
taught iu tbe greater things of tbe
Word aud experieuood, those who,
under their labors had beoo wou to
Christ. Iudeed, is not this the most
rensouablo and natural, as well as the
moat Soriptural thing that could be
expeotod? Most oortaiuly it is.
Methods may be uulike. Paul
preached -with mighty power all
night, tbuudered the awful judgments
of Ood in tbe ears of Felix uutil the
haughty Procurator trembled, spake
with suoh eloquent, personal appeal
' before Festus aud Agrippa that the
former said, with a load voice, "thou
art beside thyself; much learuig doth
make thee mad," and the latter, "al
most thou persuades t me to be a
Christian." John said, with a loving
heart, "Little children lore oue anoth
er." But both were soul wiuuers.
Before ordination, to pteaoh Christ's
holy Uospel, is coufered tbe winning
of some to Hitn must be proven: See
Dis. P. 79, Par. 103. That a mau says
be is oalled of God to preach is not
always euough: The ohuroh requires
that the fact bo established by aotnal
demonstration.
And yet, notwithstanding all this,
aud tbe additional tacts as well, that
our modern, as well as onr anoieut
fathers, in Christ, were soul-winners,
many preseut day preaohers, iu other
denominations as well as our own,
both prirately and publicly aud ap
parently Indifferently, declare, not
only that they were not called to win
souls, but decry evangelistic work in
any form, even criticising tbe methods
of others wbo are winning thousands
to Christ every year.
- As tbe very object-of tbe sacrifice
and death of Christ was that sinners
might be won to Him, it is a ponderous
puzzle to me bow men can be tine
ministers of bis and yet win no other
men to Him.
Tbe first and greatest work of a
minister is soul-winning, and if be is
God-called, and is true to his calling,
be will, ty "Tbn law of tbe Spirit of
Life" in bim, as willingly and anxi
ously do that work (and very much
more so) as a man will seek bis lost
neighbor in tbe distant, lonely, dark,
dangerous, cold solitude of tbe moun
tains. If a preaober has eaten Bread in tbe
Kingdom of God bis first, loudest,
longest, and most yearning cry will be,
"01 taste and see that tbe Lord is
good." I find, in tbe Word, no special
gifts, or callings, for rbetorioal, or ar
tificial eloquence; long lectures, rais
ing money, becoming popular orators,
&o; but I do find them for winning
souls: Please read Isa. 1, 21, 5: 19:
Acts 1.4 8:2. 14: 1 Cor. 12, 7: 14,4:
John 14, 16-17: 16,7-14: PbiL 3,
7-8: Psa. 51, 1-13.
Christs first oommand with a prom
ise, Matt. 4, 19, was, "Followle and
I will make yon fishers of men," and
His last command Mark 16,' 15, to "Go
into all tbe World and preaob tbe
Gospel to every creature." is only an
expansion of tbe first.
Soul-winning is to Christianity what
tbe alphabet is to reading. As well
try to write books without letters as
to build the true Church of Christ
without soul-winning. Tbe uon-eoul-winning
minister, I have observed.
often sympathizes witb, openly favors
and sometimes frequents questionable
places of amusement, as theaters, balls,
circuses, card and wine parties, tin
born shows traveling through tbe land
&o., believes quite largely iu preseut
day bigber oritioism of God's Holy
Word, bas a theology impregnated.
more or less, with tbe noxious odors of
agnostioism, idealism, materialism,
ritnalism, eta, wbioh easily and clear
ly explains the reason wby be is not
used of God in winning souls from sin
It is because suob a course of study.
