At Heppner CHURCHES MARY A. NOTSON, Reporter. Dr. David Starr Jordan, dean of American university presidents, who died last September, over twenty years ago wrote as follows: "It is soberly claimed that the op ium traffic is necessary for the wel fare of China. Without his pipe dream, the average Chinaman would never know joy. But It is never well for any man to think he is having a good time whe,n he is not. The function of the nervous system is to tell us the truth. When it is taught to lie, its worth as a guide to action is permanently impaired. The joys of alcohol, nico tine, opium, or any other nerve-affecting drug, belong to the fool's paradise. In the long run, sham emotions destroy as well as tor ture, 'whether of love, religion or liquor1." Speaking of the evils of the sa loons, Dr. Jordan said: "The evil of the saloons is mainly felt in the years from sixteen to twenty-four. If boys under twenty-one were smu out from them, more than half their evils would be abated. Thous ands upon thousands of boys step from the saloon to the brothel not a long step to be poisoned for life with the most loathsome of dis eases, the red plague, of which no one was ever certainly cured." In discussing the arguments for wine and beer, while conceding that wine and beer might be relatively innocuous when they do not lead up directly to stronger drinks, Dr. Jor dan well said: "The actual relation of wine to temperance in Southern Europe has never been adequately studied. The problem is not a sim ple one, and the mere fact that there is less visible drunkenness where dilute alcohol is a daily bev erage, tells but a small part of the story. The daily partial saturation carries its burden on brain and kid neys and phagocyts (white corpus cles), while on the other hand the spasms of excess are relatively less common. This is a problem of physiology and pharmacology, as well as of social science, and the off-hand answers usually given to it do not advance us very far. Dr. Jordan, in closing the article quoted from above, used the follow- ng quotation from the writings oi Robert W. Chambers: "Alcohol is poison, and it has not and, never had in any guise the sligntest com pensating value for internal use. It isn't a food. It is a poison. It isn't an aid to digestion. It is a poison. It is not a life saver. It is a life taker. It i3 a parasite, forger, thief, liar, brutalizer, murderer. There isn't and there never has been one word to say for it, or any excuse except morbid predisposition of self-Inculcated inclination for swallowing it Tou can take your choice." CHURCH OF CHRIST.

"And seeing a fig tree afar off, having leaves, He came, if haply He might find anything thereon; and when He came to It, He found nothing but leaves." Mark 11-13. This recital of the fig tree, in which Christ was disappointed, sets forth the matter of nothing but appearances. Leaves, plenty of leaves, plenty of appearances. This fig tree had all the appearance of a fruit-bear ing tree, BUT, "when He came to it He found nothing but leaves." Nothing but appearances. That tells all there is to tell of some peo ple. They make a good appearance. They put on a good front They make a considerable show. They stand well. They attract favorable attention. One is led to think they are really worth while. But when you look for something real; real character; real purpose; real use fulness; you are disappointed. It is not there. Nothing but beauty. She was a beautiful woman, admired by many. But one who knew her well, said of her: "Her beauty is all there is to her; she is nothing but beauty." We all admire unspoiled beauty; but vain beauty soon ceases to be attractive. Mothers many times say to their children: "Beauty is as beauty does. Real beauty is not all on the outside. Outward charms and attractiveness without inward grace and beauty of soul always prove disappointing. Nothing but wealth. No charac ter. No culture. No sense of ob ligation to others. Nothing but money and the cheap things money will buy cheap pleasures; cheap vanities; cheap social position. That describes many who have wealth. They have nothing of life's finer things. We are always dis appointed when we look to them for any of the real fruit of life. The normal life of both the fig tree and man is to bear fruit- fruit for the man of fine living in every relation of life. To find a fig tree without fruit and nothing but leaves is disappointing. It is more than disappointing, it is tragic, to find a man whose life is expressed in nothing but leaves. Do you go to Church? Have you a Church home? If not, we invite you to come and worship with us. A live, interesting Bible School and helpful services of worship are here for you. Come! For the coming Lord's Day the sermon topics are Morning worship, "Rebuilding the Walls." Evening worship, Going to Ninevah." OREGON BOY WINS U.

You ask me who is Uncle Sam, I modestly reply, I am. These hungry urchins meanly dressed. These mothers suckling babes at breast, These traffic cops along the street, These rushing crowds on eager feet, These thousands caught in for tune's jam All these, and you and I are Uncle Sam. All farmers working in the field, All bankers making dollars yield, All those who teach or preach or pray, All honest workers, night or day, All mountebanks who cheat and sham All these, and you and I are Uncle Sam. This miner, climbing from the mine This boot-black calling for your shine, This lawyer pleading at the bar, This doctor rushing by in car, This druggist measuring gill and gram All these, and you and I are Uncle Sam. Those prosperous in high estate, Those beggars waiting at the gate, Those morons breeding In the slums, Those soldiers stepping to the drums, Those topers swigging down their dram All these, and you and I are Uncle Sam. Not high-topped hat nor stripes nor bars, Not gaudy coat, bedecked with stars, Not whiskered chin nor pointed nose, Not gawky form from head to toes, Not Yankee Doodle's slap and slam , Not any or all of these are Uncle Sam. But pioneers on land and sea, Unnumbered millions yet to be, Of Noble men who work and plan To build and guard their native land; Who daily do their civic share Unflinchingly and unaware Of those who praise or those who damn All these, and you and I are Uncle Sam.

Message, "Some Things Christian Should Know." 6:30 p. m., Epworth League. 7:30 p. m., Song service and gos pel message. "Develpoment in the Christian Life." 'Is is necessary that we should determine to grow, to make it the aim of our life, the supreme desire and passion. The growth of many is slow and feeble, simply because they have failed to realize the nec essity and blessedness of making continued advances in their new found experience. Until death 'ad vance' must be our watchword, and we cannot advance unless we strive to. Paul, near the close of his ministry, emphasized this, when he said, 'This one thing I do.' It is growth in the love already perfect ed in us; perfected In its quality, but not in its value. Paul said to the Hebrews, 'Let us go on unto perfection.' There should be a con tinual advance in our Christian life." Both morning and evening topics this coming Sunday will deal with the development of our Chris tian character. We desire your presence at the services both morn- and and evening. You will be wel come.
