To the Relatives of American
Soldiers and Sailors.
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

life, endowment maturing at age 62,
and other usual forms of Insurance.
This will be Government insurance,
at Government rates.
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. Undo Sam's insurance may
be continued and converted into
standard government, policies, re
gardless of the men's physical con
dition. Impress these things upon your
relatives in the service. Toll them
there ia nothing safer or stronger
than Government insurance. Teli
them to talk abjut this to their
commanding officers and to the in

before they leave the service. Tell
them to carry back with them to
civil life, as an aid and an asset, the
continued insurance protection of tha
United Siate3 Governmsnt. Tell
them, for your sake and for their
sake, to, HOLD ON TO UNCLE

WOMEN'S BUILDING MAY BE
F1NISHKD THIS YEA It
Plana Already Forming for Popular
Campaign Provided in Bill to
Give First $100,000.
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.

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

fine specimens. E. O.

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.
