Eldrldgo or the Method ist Episcopal church. Tho service wero held In tho Urge hall of tho Natntorlum nud witnessed by n Inrgc number, tho entire seating capacity being utilised. Rev. Eldrldgo was assisted tn the sorvlco by Rov. Uoylo of tho Christian church, Rov. W. F. Shields of tho Presbyterian church, Dr. McCullough of tho Baptist church nnd tho Meth odist church choir under tho direc tion of Forrest Edmendes. Dr. McCullough gave as tho scrip ture rending a selection from tho gospel of St. Matthew, known ns tho sermon on tho mount, embracing tho most beautiful nud inspiring pas sages In tho New Testament, Tho musical numbers Included two nnthoms, "Prn,lso Yo Jehovah" (Wolcott). "Fear Not, Oh Israel' (Max Sticker) nnd a solo, "Contn to tho Land of Rest" (Philip Greeley), by Mr. Edmeades. Tho solo parts In tho anthems wore takon by Miss Ivn Coffin, Mrs. Von Scoyoc, Mrs. Phil brook, H. A. Canaday and Charles Hoy. Rov. Eldrldgo gav an excel lent address, taking sclf-culturo nt his themo and strlktng tho koyno'o In his opening rcmnrlcs: "Tho dan ger of tho ago Is mediocrity." Tho desirableness of culturo In all ltr phases: tho social, Intellectual and spiritual, was shown by historical 'in cident, statistics and comparisons In tho thrco material kingdoms. Tho truo meaning of culture, Rov, Eldrldgo defined as Inward develop ment, not dependent nlono upon one's position or environment In llfo, which often signifies but a (alio standard of greatness. Tho necessity of traits such as common sense, tact, peraevcrenco and enthusiasm as assets to intolcct and character was brought out In a con vlnclng manner. Tho thought of tho wholo dls course was such as to Inspire to tin highest posslblo nttalnmcnts, a thought lending to encourago and show that such attainments are qulto within one's capacity. That quality of speech which the American Idiom designates ns "preachy" and ono Invariably antng onlatlc to tho "young Idea" was conspicuously absent. Tho address was helpful In ovory sense and appreciated by all present. COMMUNICATIONS To the Editer: In a timo of changing nud to n limited extent unsettled business conditions I nolo n strong tendency throughout tho country to give undue prominenco in tho press to business failure and tho snlo of bankrupt stocks. In a beautiful valley such ns ours with its vast resources that nro untounclicd ano entirely unde veloped our crying need is for more settlers nnd more capital nnd a more united effort toward building up tho town. It seems to mo thnt advertising freely to the world nt largo through tho nows columns that Mcdford's leading merchants nro financially em barrassed, that they aro accused of dishonesty nnd nro unworthy of con fidence is not the way to build up the town. If n man has business trouble give him n chunce to get on his feet nud justify himself beforo making n scurrilous attack on his methods nnd character, that works a personal in jury to him from which ho can scurcely recover in n lifo timo nud that makes tho name of our fair city u by-word throughout tho entire stnto. Tho petty jealousies thnt exist be tween rival cities nro thus fostered and tho business interests of tho en tiro town mndo to suffer. If a inun is on tho rocks, help him off. h. 13.
