George T. Mayboro, who was enroute
from Grant, Michigan, to Dillard, Ore

just as the train reached this city.
Mayboro was in charge of a car of stock

way to his new borne in the west. His
car was in the train of No. 51, a freight,
and when Kenton was reached the
freight took the siding to allow the fast
train to puss. The man had been up to
his car and when be started on hie sec
ond trip to it was told by brakeman
Good no, who was on the freight, tbat
they were on the siding to let the fast
train pass, and told him to be careful.
The man evidently paid no attention to
the warning, as when the passenger
train approached he evidently lost bis
head and stepped in front of it. The
fast train was stopped and he was placed
on board, utid died just as tbey reached
this cit3. When the freight arrived
they sent a report of the accident to
headquarters ami were instructed to
leave Mayboro's emigrant car here until

made and after considerable trouble they
Jocated a twelve year old boy stowed

The church has a problem all her own
that has grown large and complicated.
There was a time when the church ap
pealed largely to the emotions. The
preacher who could get the most crying
or shouting in the smallest length of
time was the "called of God." Ethics
had a minor place in the pulpit. Today
the message of the church is "quit your
meanness" be honest in your business,
brotherly in your affairs, and christly in
all of life activities. The ethics of the
pulpit is being met with tremendous op
position. BIcn do not object to the
church or even to a certain form of
church duty, but they do object to the
pulpit outlining ethics for everyday Hir
ing. In the evolution of the church we
have entered u uew concept of church
duty and have a vision of tho christian
life that is going to lay emphasis on tho
unity of man.
The pastor of the Congregational
church will discuss this problem in live
Sunday evening sermons from the topic:
Christianity and I. The sub-topics will
be as follows: April 23, Christianity
and My Body: April .'HI, Christianity and
My Business; May 7, Christianity and
My Companions; May 11, Christianity
and My Heart: May 21, Christianity aud
My Religion. The subject for next Sun
day morning will be The Vision and
the Man. We invite you to these ser
vices. William L. Diisulk, Minister.
