The great purpos^ you must give it is to be dominated by Christ, the world’s Saviour must con trol your thinking and your living— this is the highest purpose you can have and strive to attain. It means that with receptive minds and hearts you must listen to the great GalHlean if success in reality is to be yours, you must have the ideals and heart of Jesus Christ. ^ In his concluding remarks to the gradiiates Dr. Huck said, whatever life and press for Hs attainment.

A villain as wicked as they come; a heroin^ as sweet and lovely as your own sister, and a hero as gay, as reckless, as full .of gallant, dare-devil chivalry as only the heroes of western novels can be. « Here is a story packed full of the glamorous atmosphere of the land of cowboys, bronchos, six-shooters and romance. It's the type of story that will carry you away with the first paragraph and keep you^enthralled right through the final installment. Young and old, everyone likes a good western story, and ‘Texas Guns’* by L. P. Holmes, is a sure-fire winner! The Opoiiiig InstalbneBt WIH' A|ipear In THE jCHRONI- CUB Next Week It The previoip? adrainisti-ation, he charged, "used the instrumentalities of government to permit dictators to accumulate great wealth. "The New Deal means an oppor tunity to get away from the concen tration of wealth and the misuse of government. . . . They speak abOut the liberties of the people being de stroyed. Has any man or woman around here lost his liberty?!’ Both Harllee and Stoney cited "broken planks” in the 1932 Demo cratic platform, which they charged had been ignored. "With full control of both houses of congress,” Harllee said, "those who have engineered our ^’planned:, econo- sllglitwc move (o modiiy that iniquitous tariff measure which the 1982 cooveiftion said has ^destroyed international tradeVand ’robbed the fanner bf his foreign market'." - After follqwiiig' a Republican tariff policy, he continuedr H^ New Deal "moi^ on with a Socialist crew to outdo the Socialist party in distrib uting to some people the earnings of other people, and now travels further . . . to a ^mmunietic state ifhere people are led to believe they' may share the wealth which other people earn.” He said he failed to see how ad- ministratioii farm policies of destroy ing animal and crop Hfe "can^hring abundance of anything except misery and want.” Stoney asserted "this New Deal. with all its waste js burning me up, and that's why I’m hurtling Jimmy '• tage they would never again need to fear ".such a debacte as we had in March, 1933.”. . At that time, he said, “a president elect without a. conscience refused for four month.s to cooperate with a pres/ ident, who had a conscience, resultii^. in a bank crisis and a panic of fear and fright.” A few minutes later, Steiwer/quot ed Mr. Roosevelt as saying the issue in the oncoming presidential cam paign would be “the retention of pop ular government.” agree,*' the Oregonean con tinued.
