You saved others, now save yourself. If you are the Son of God come down and we will believe on you.” So cried the mob. Mt. 27th. Many a runaway slave back in those days, was also 'nailed to the beams to die by crucifiction. But Christ was no runaway. He was there by His own free will. He had been tempted at every point. Tempted to steal, to kill, to lie, to do every sin. But He came to the death sinless and to pay the penalty for our sins. He lived His days to do God’s will and we have not so lived. ONE—Our sins were there—- “The Lord laid on Him the sins of us all. “Isa. 53:6. TWO— While His body hung on the cross His soul was down in the pains ef hell with the murders, profane and sinners. And God saw the anguish in his soul and was satis fied. See Isa. 53:11. Y-OUR PART — Believe in Christ as having suffered the penalty for your every last sin.

One big reason is an obsolete Oregon law that discourages building of hydroelectric plants by power companies. COUNTY COMMISSIONER “If elected I promise to fulfill the duties of that office faithfully and be fair to all.” The last state legislature corrected the law that is holding up Oregon’s progress. It made Oregon power laws conform to the Federal Power Act. The vote was 70 to 20! Now the modernized hydroelectric law is submitted to the people for approval, in the form of Referendum 306.

If the bottle purchaser by-passes the club and does all his drinking in his car — that’s worse/ The Knox Lyv was rushed through the state legislature in 1933, under public pressure to bring Oregon in line with repeal of prohibition. Come to think about it, maybe the original idea of taking the bottle home wasn’t so hot either. The original framers of the act were very much sold on the idea of confining drinking Well, what are we going to do about it? to the home. In this country when the majority of the people don’t like a situation they vote to change it. The thought was to require the customer to buy a bottle in a state liquor store and take it home.
