Your relatives serving with the colors will soon be back in civil life. They may be r.t "home now. For your protection, and for their own, they undoubtedly have taken out insurance with the United Statet Government. You should impress upen your relatives In the service the vital im portance of keeping their insurance with the United States Government. Write to them without delay or tell them personally, if you can that they retain insurance with the United States Govern merit even after they leave the military service. The privilege of continuing their Government insurance is a valuable right given to soldiers and sailors as part of the compensation for tlK'ir heruie and loyal services. If the soldier or sailor permits his insur ance to lapse, he loses that right, and he never will be able to regain it. But if he keeps up his present in surance by the regular payment of the monthly premiums he will be able to change it later into a stand ard Government policy WITHOUT MEDICAL EXAMINATION. Mean time, he can keep up his present in surance at substantially the same low ate. The Government will write jrdinary life insurance, 20-payment f Corona Wool Fat Compound (FOR MAN OR BEAST) Thrush, Grease Heels, Horses' Hoofs, Cows' Sore Teats.

Many men will come out of the war physically impaired and will, therefore, be unable to obtain any life insurance protection whatsoever for themselves and their families, unless they keep up their present in surance with the United States Gov ernment.

University of Oregon, Eugene, Feb. 10. Pending the passage by the legislature of the 100,000 appro priation for a women's building at the University of Oregon, as recom mended by a joint ways and means committee from the house and senate, plans for raising by popular subscription the additional $100,000 required by the terms of the bill are forming. Iho over-crowded condition at the University, the enrollment of which has increased 70 per cent since 1913, while but two class halls have been added to the equipment, makes it necessary that no time be lost follow ing the passage of the bill. If possible, work on fhe new building will begin this spring, so that the structure may be under cover before the fall rains. Under this plan the building can be completed by the opening of the second quarter, Jan uary, 1920. Otherwise the construc tion would necessarily be delayed be cause of the rains until the cpring of 1920, and the building could not be ready for occupancy before January, 1921. Since the women's building was proposed in 1915, private individuals of the state, students of the Univer sity and graduating classes have made donations to the fund, and the women already have $20,000 in their fund. To this has been pledged be tween $20,000 and $25,000 addition al with the condition that the state show interest in the building through the passage of the women's building appropriation. With Mrs. George T. Gerlinger, of Portland, member of the board of regents of the University, in general charge of the campaign, the work will largely be conducted under the direction of the Oregon Federation of Women's Clubs. The women of the state, represented in this organi zation, have from the first been in terested in the women's building plan, and have already appointed Mrs. Roy Bishop, of Pendleton, chairman for the state-wide cam paign they have planned. Brings In Furs. W. O. Allison, of Ukiah, received bounties amounting to $38 today on lynx, bobcat and coyote skins. There are two unusually fine lynx skins which will probably bring about $25 each; teven bobcats which will aver age $20 a piece and five coyotes at $12. The skins were on display to day at the U. S. Bioliflcal Survey and pronounced by the officials to be fine specimens. E. O. When in need of Staple or Fancy Groceries remember we have a full and complete stock, PHELPS GROCERY CO. obedience. Very harsh treatment you may say. that God should slay a man who had done nothing very wrong except to disobey this inconse quential command. Hut none of God's commands are inconsequential. We are not qualified to judge of their relative importance. A soldier is ex pected to obey the commands of his ''i; ;l . o.'iice.-. T: c -.itlier may think he is as intelligent, and i3 as well quali'ied to determine what ( u"lit to be d:me. as is the superior officer. Nevertheless it is the sol diers business to do just exactly what he is told to do. If thru the iii'. the Jewish people couki nave learnt the lesson of obedience his death was well worth ' "Obedience is better than sacrifice." wP-u., said "!f ye love me ve will keep my commandments." There is : te nicncy .jday uMmg some very good people to disregard one cf the commands of Jesus Christ because it is said to be inconsequential, or merely a formal act. Who of us is qualified to so judge. Surely it 13 better to obey than to risk, incurring the Lord's displeasure. When giving His apostles the commission to preach the gospel Jesus said "He that believeth and is baptised shall be saved." Mk. 16 : 1G. But some people say today, "to believe is enough you need not be baptized unless you want io be." To whose voice shall we listen? Jesus gave us the example by being himself bap tized, Mk 1:1-11. The converts on the day of Pentecost obeyed this command, so did the Ethiopian eunuch, so did Cornelius, so did Paul, so did the Samaritans, so did Lydia, so did the Jailor, so did Cristus, so iid the Corinthians. Indeed in every case of conversion recorded in the New Testament tljis command is obeyed. It is not necessary that we should understand why the Lord re quires it. It is our business to obey. It is the first step in Christian obedience. It commits us to a life of obedience to follow. Wlille it is not necessary for us to understand the why of baptism it is necessary fdr us to understand the how of baptism. We cannot obey unless we know how. The command of Jesus Christ was not a vague com mand which could be obeyed by doing any one of three or four differ ent things. It was a particular specific act and was so understood by the apostles. Christian baptism is properly defined as "The immer sion of a penitent believer in water." That immersion in water is baptism is-admitted by the leaders and scholars of all denominations, as the following quotations show: Luther, "Baptism, in the first place, in the Greek language is called baptismos, and in the Latin tongue mersio; as when a person dips something into water until the water closes over it." John Calvin, "The word baptize signifies to immerse." John Wesley "Comment on Rom. 6:4 "Buried with Him, alluding to the ancient practice of baptizing by immersion.' Adam Clark, Methodist, "They re ceived baptism as an emblem of death in voluntarily golrJg under the water." Phillip Doddridge, Congre gationalism commenting on Rom. 6:4 "It seems part of candor to con fess that here Is an allusion to the ancient manner of baptizing by im mersion." Phillip Schaff, Presbyter- Ian, "The usual form of the act was Immersion, as is plain from the original meaning of the Greek Archbishop Francis P. Kendrick, Ro man Catholic, "The primary mean ing of the term baptize is acknow ledged to be dip or plunge." Bishop Nicholson, Episcopalian, "In bap tism while our bodies are under the water, we may be said to be buried with Him." Such quotations can be multiplied. Why should there be controversey over this. Search the scriptures. Finally there must be perseverance in Christian living and service. "Work out your own salvation" by living the right kind of life. "Study to show thyself approved unto God." None of the means of salvation may be safely neglected. All other means are of no avail if the life is not such as to harmonize with faith in Jesus Christ and with the example of His life. LI L.
