Kandolph Sasiiett. pastor of the First Muthu- oist eiiureii. wno is one 01 ine xeam workers in the membership drive, dis missed his eonirreiatioii shortlv al'ter H:ilO o'eloek in order that all who de ed to do so miiifit eome to tho hotel anil hear tile inspirational unnress 01 Mr. Ilawn on "The Soul of Things." Mr. Ilawn has been advertised for several days past as an orator of su perlalive merit with a message that was eertain to strike a responsive ehord in the soul of all who heard him. In iustiee to the speaker, and to Ihe eampaiiin offieials who were instrumental in Ijrinirinir liim to Med ford. it may be said without the slightest, fear of eontradietion that rone was disappointed. Few speak- rs possess the masterful eloipienee and iiiauiiifieent delivery of Mr. Ilawn. He soared upon the ivintis of oratorv to di..v heiLrhts pieturinir the sublime in a masterful manner, and punetuntin his address ever and i lion with rieh wittieism and irresis tible humorous remarks and niniee dotes, vet mil to the extent of depre- eiatitiir the real value of his iiiessaue. .Mr. Ilawn pietareil the human soul as llle inosl lolielv and desolate thile: known to humankind, lie said that every human soul lives on an insular possession alone and to itself. An Awe of System The pnwnl au'e be said is one in v.hieh evervtbintr is svsteniatienllv mapped out and diat.rramed, yet he asked who has ever taken tho trouble lo draw a diaurain of the piefure oi life,- the most trauie pieture the iiiiml of man or (iod an eoneeive, so utterly alone is the human soul. He compared the situation to the spider spiuuimr her trossimer web, til roivinir out Ihe cables from with in and attaehiiiir them to the differ ent bridges which must hold the com pleted web in place. In human life, he said, the cables of heart knowl edire are the alphabet of all external thiiiLTs. The bridge we need most iti connectinir our cables from the soul is love, he said: not the mushy, senti mental sort of love, but the higher and noble sympathy and concern in oar fcllow-imin. The Colly of War The speaker pictured the human in fant as the most helpless of all living creatures. A chick two hours old is capable of cettinir up and scratchim: for its liviui:; yet a babe with food. by its side beinir unable to Iced itself would starve unless assisted. The entire irauiut of life beinir one con tinuous conflict against the disease and Lrerms hurled imninst mankind by nature, he marveled how any one would dare to fitilit- his fellow-man, when all so need the love and kindly consideration of the other No community, the speaker saii could he prosperous unless it is hai py, and the Chamber of Commerce is really a Chamber of Citizenship in which all should join and work for the uplift and betterment of the com munity. He impressed upon those present that the Medford Chamber of Commerce is fortunate in enjovim.' the sympathetic co-operation of the women, because thev are needed in all civic iindertakiui.'s and develop ment. Wallher Is lllcli I'owernl President Vawter. the presiding: of -ficial, in a brief address, told of the aims and aspirations of the Cliambe:' of Commerce.

Wal- ther, and he concluded his remarks hy present iiitr Mr. Wallher. The lat ter aeiiuilled himself most creditably as u master of ceremonies.

I lie success ot the cainpaiL.'ii, he said, must he real ieil only through the co-operation ami work ol the eitieaship. Mansfield IUhisIs 'iuisc i ae nr-i speaker ot tiie evening was deonte A. .Maiislield, who mive the impressions of a comparatively new-comer on the possibilities ami attractiveness of Medford and vicin ity. Mr. Man-field said that he wa of the iinprcss'on that men coming here from a distance see advantages here that, porhnpi, the native resi dents overlook. With the natural ad vantages with which nature has en dowed Orcirnn, the splendid climate, the abundance of pare water, there is no reason why the development should not be rapid and extensive. He said that be did not know of another valley in America where men can pro cure the comforts of life with which nature has blessed this section of the country, yet he otiestioiied the fact that the residents of this locality have taken full advantage of these opportunities. He urtred the citizens of Medford and .laeksoa county to line up with the Chamber of Com merce, rfind .all pull together for the L'eneral uplift and betteVment of this section.
