'J'lie i'ew limes it doesn't happen merely proves the rule. ' Those things one worries about almost never mnteriiilizo and the v.-orry is found to have been needless. Then there is no apprehension whatever and suddenly the bolt falls from a clear sky, and pride goes before tho fall. ' If someone could root out the principles of this law, a great deal of harm could be avoided and a (treat deal of suffering either escaped or greatly mitigated. . 1 have hucn usked Ijy some friends In .Medford to tell about the liicollnKS and work conducted recently In Al bany, Oregon, by Jtov.

Ye Smudge Pot By Arthur Parry. MotrojioIUnn four-riimhlns and stall ing over the Toledo football name linn officially ended revlvlnt; In some- cir cles tho old desiro to Homo day bo able to write it: Medrord, Calif. The Jloae City can now return to Its dreaming of a world fair In 1927, and school board fighting ' over religion advertising thnt requires the expenditure of noth ing but a llttlii wind. Tho list of loans made by the Wilson administration, causes some to wonder why Mars was slighted. There Is great rejoicing In anti-tax circles. The now governor proposes peeled always happens. to open his tax reduction campaign by creating three now jobs at $1000 per, for each, It Is likely the "hostile press" and tho "corporate Interests" will battle this move to "take the load oft the masses." Mid to the tune of "Onward Christian .Soldiers,"- the country ob cerved over 4,0(10,0110 voters rally to the standard of the greatest American political leader of the present generation. Everyone expected such a husky infant to endure. Many expect ed it to gain political control in its first assault. Hut the unexpected happened. In four years the Bull Moose had completely disappeared and the two old parties were as vigorous and combative us ever. ' . Today there are similar evidences of political gestation. But, ac cording to the prophets and even according to the leaders of the in (urgent movements, no Third party is to result. There are only to be a few blocs here and there, to act as burrs for the respective hides of the Elephant and the Donkey. . lint there is good reason to believe that the unexpected again is going to happen. Under the surface of apparent calm, deep waters are menacingly turbulent. There is, in our opinion, a real Third party now in the making, a radical-labor-farmer-libernl party. And in all likelihood, in l.wo years from now or six, Uncle Sam will see the Democratic and Republican war horses join hands to com bat the forces of what they will call the "Reds," while the "Reds'' will bo shoulder to shoulder storming the citadel of what they will call the Reactionaries. Politicians are, in the mass, very much like sheep. They saw. a Third party blow lip and disappear overnight, so they conclude that history will repca itself, and a Third party is impossible this time. Maybe. And then maybe not. In all likelihood, there' will not be three parties for long, but neither the Donkey nor the Elephant can claim immortality. It would not surprise some people to see one of them disappear or merge with the other, making a political animal of entirely new characteristics and dimensions. And one of the soundest reasons for this belief is that the Unex- THE FAMILY CIRCLE Mother slio works in the kitchen ' She hustles and bakes the pies, She labors to wash tho dishes, And with patience she drives out . the flies.

It is impossible to remain Mistress of the Seas without remitin ing ia hot water. Some of the idiots are behind tall iron fences, and some are behind steering wheels. "The artistic appeal of the nude" doesn't appeal to the same people who enjoy a sunset. The corn in the shock means prosperity, but the shock in the corn makes man feel richer. And yet thnt kind of college Loy will feel a, twinge of nausea thirty years from now when his own boy acts that way. The bloom of youth is charming, unless it blooms a little higher in one cheek than in the other. Kicking Turkey out of Europe is a noble business; kicking Europe out of Turkey is wicked.

JAMES TOW1IEAD went to Dingbat's store, where he had purchased goods, salt codfish, varnish for the floor, and pur ple riding hoods, and saws to hew, and drills to bore, and shred ded breakfast foods, .lames said, "The first- will soon bo here, when I should pay my bill, but I can't- do the same. I fear, I'm broke, already, si ill; 1 have a nalieess in my ear, my wife is lying ill. Misfortune hit me unawares and made my spirit groan; the way my gouly father swears would rend a heart of stone, my aunt fell down the cellar stairs and broke her collarbone. Tho sur K.con, always at. my gate, has made my bundle thin; the druggist brings his precious freight, and bones me for the tin, nnd so your bill will have a wait until my ship eomes in." Tho merchant cried, "Oh, James my son, your candor cheers my soul, and you may buy goods by the ton while you are in the hole, and you'll receive no bill or dun until yoii have your roll. All merchant princes like to aid the man who doesn't sneak, who, finding pay must be delayed the candid trulh will speak; we'll wait till your misfor tunes fade, be it a year or week. Your credit's good, so help me Pete, your hard luck naught avails; so buy this pot- of pi"kled feet, or take this keg of nails, and here's a bale of shredded wheat a can of kippered whales." healing meetings frequently at Ash land,.. Oregon, in September and all to meetings he held In Aledford. I 'At Albany his work was running j stronger, both spiritually ami in! Physical -healings, than at Ashland linger crowds came to the meetings when tlicro wns no prayer for heal ing, and people responded more hear tily to his invitations ("ultar inllh") to come forward and seek Christ. llundredH came to kneel nnd find Christ as their personal Savior or to receive fulness of blessing from Cod in Christ, nearly .00 at tho last afternoon meeting thnt wo attended, and many at every service. On "healing nights" tho Armory would bo crowded (except for sec tions reserved for business nnd work Ingmen and women, or others), two hours before time for tho meeting nnd a larger building wns needed nt many other times. People came from nil over the Willnmetto Valley, nnd evon from Washington and as far as Montana. Mnny wero nettled in answer to prayer, Dr. Trice always nscribing this only to tho Jiower of Ood, and In no way to himself. Several ministers and a number of well-known business men and others of real prominence wero henled at Albany of deafness, rupture, bad eye- sight, and other iliseases nnd sickness including somo said to be nt the point of dentil when anointed anJ prayed for. I saw a woman, after her anoint ing and prnyor by Dr. Trice, rise straightway from her cot, where she bnd lain nil day nt the side of the! platform and then run, leaping and praising (Jod. across the Armory nnd afterwards walk out and go to he boarding place. She was from lielle fountain. Ore., and I understand U well-known there. Iter brother-in-law told me she had been sick for 19 years, and was bedfast or helpless moro or less of that time, and had been so for over a year. The same day the pastor of the Ciraco Presby terian Church, Albany, wns healed at his own homo of severe deafness of 10 yenrs standing,' while praying for the meetings and himself. Others whom I know personally wore henl ed, as was also tho case nt Ashland and In my own home nnd congrega tion at Phoenix. Tersonnl letters to Mr. Gore from Albany since wo came home sav: "Thanksgiving night a lady who had been confined to her bed nnd clmir for 11 yenrs rose up at tho command nnd walked the whole length of the Armory, nnd thon,quiotly nnd firmly back to her place." "A young man paralyzed for yenrs, who was la' the congregation, fell Lover under the power during tho- healing service. Dr. Price anointed nnd prayed for him, and he walked home without his crutches. He had two vertebrae of his neck Injured so that physicians had said that but pno other c.tse was recorded where- tho patient lived after such nn accident." "VVomler- ful ' healings are taking place it homes, sometimes in tho night." "Dr W. II. lfinson of Portland, (prominent Ilnptlst pastor) came up nnd was healed." , "Friday night Dr. Trice was called to Corvallis before he had finished tho anointing nnd Dr.'" MeCrossan (United Presbyterian pastor) took his plncc nnd prayed for six people all of whom wero healed, including n woman 75 years old and crippled. Saturday night six local ministers as sisted Dr. Price in - anointing nnd praying' for those desiring healing," so that nono thought, to be ready, would be missed. All the co-operating churches are going right on with tho meetings, now thnt tho meetings at the Armory under Dr. Prlco have closed, and some of the pastors have announced healing services to be held by litem In their own churches. Those letters nlso say, regarding Dr. Price's meetings in Albany: "There have never been less than lfi or 0 ovnversions twleo each il.iy, nnd tins is n - minimum, people an over the house fell under tho power of the Spirit. Some fell In tho vestibule as they went nut. Friday night 12 high school girls came together nnd nine of them fell under the power, nnd were nil converted. Saturday night all these nlno were busy ns bees bringing -their companions to Christ, I anil people enme pouring down to the nltnr: over 70 enme then.' Sunday night this was repeated, until 150 1 were on their knees, mostly young people; a wonderful sight." .Dr. Prlco often emphasizes this nnd the salvation of souls, and tho filling of believers with tho Holy Spirit In I nnswer to their own prayer and full surrender, ns being far nnd nway the primary objects of his work, nnd not bodily henling. Dr. Price loaves Albany, with the confidence and hearty support of the co-opernting churches nnd ministers, and hns been invited to return, to work mere ngaln. This week be has held meetings at Corvallis nnd Ku gene nnd the week before Christmas he will be nt Ashland ngaln for a few meetings. When the Ashland meetings began In September. I wns curious to see who nnd what Dr. Price and his "di vine healing" meetings might be. nnd 1 wns very doubtful that they ought to be endorsed or would prove very beneficial. Ttoth nt Ashland nnd Al bany. 1 found him preaching with marvelous simplicity, sweetness nnd power, the simple gospel of salvation through .lesus Christ, tho very Son of Ood, and tho crucified ltedeemer Chrlst and who longs to get others to love and serve Him too. Jlo does not criticise the "score" others, uud seems to forget himself in an aban don of devotion to the Christ hi loves to preach, "Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today und forever! 1 believe that those who would criticise and score Dr. Price and op pose his work, should first study their own iiihlcs ngaln with open minds and hearts, ami should give hltii and his work full and fair hearing in pel son nnd not by hearsay, lest they "bo found fighting ' ngalnst Ood" nnd shutting the door of wilvntlon und faith against some I hat might enter in. I want to commend heartily tin editorial in The .Mail Tribune of De- cenioer 14. regarding tho work of the Jackson County Health nssocia lion and Nurse Fuldine. She de serves our heartiest BUooort and prayer, as do many others who serve so faithfully In this und other lands in the spirit of Him who "came not to be ministered unto, but to minis ter nnd to give his life a ransom for many." Dr. Prlco plainly states that ho is not opposed to doctors, medi cines nnd surgery, but is seeking first of all to win people to Jesus Christ, and to lend them to receive the full ness of the 'Holy Spirit; and then to pray for henling for those who have faitli to claim It through the imme of Christ nnd who will uso it for His glory. Tlie fact that hasty and bitter criti cism and opposition has risen against Dr. Price nnd his work is not strange. It was so with our Lord, who said to his followers: "If they linve perse cuted me, they will nlso persecute you." It is nlso written of Him "Jesus of Nazareth, how Ood anoint ed Him with tho Holy Spirit ur-d with power; who went about doing good, nnd healing all thnt wero oppressed of the devil: for Ood wns with him."
