POPULAR LECTURER
AND   HUMORIST
Frank Church Will Speak
Here.
THE COUNTV MASONilC
MASTERS ASSOCIATION
Frank Church.
Frank Church, who appears here on
the Interstate Lyceum course this sea-
Bon, is known widely as one of the
most dynamic and interesting personages on the lecture platform.
As "Fighting Red" - Church he is
often introduced, which describes him
perfectly. His doughboy buddies overseas affectionately nick-named him
•Red," and "Fighting" was added because of his fearless and fiery speeches
in behalf of political and moral reform.—Through all his earnestness
there play flashes of irresistible humor, like sunshine on an April day,
with exquisite word pointings and
striking impersonations. Church has
the rapidity of a machine gun In
action and the punch and 5«p of a
Billy Sunday..
When' the   "World   war   came   on,

One diark Sunday night the Rev. D.
'-Q. Barry dnove his small but industrious madhiine over a Tutty, cobbled
j Clackamas county road.   At a narrow
' and dangerous place -two men stepped
I from  the shadows   in. .front of the
i headlights and shouted ""Halt!"
I    The .miiiister is a small and ordinar-
| tly- mild-mannered .man.   But  there
] was something about the brandished
j guns of the two men that at once -ang--
eijed and frightened him,   Instead of
j putting"   his   Soot  on   the   brake   he-
Stepped: on the accelerator.   The road
i was  of. the  kind ■ ijha-l* promised  ito
! wreck liis car if he traveled over 10
miiles an hour, but^he speeded up to
■ 30.   There wasn't room enough to go
j around the two men without -sliding
j down/the -cliff, so-.be drove straight at
, them. *They heia their ground for a
; moment, and then, as he showed no
iigsn of slowing up, they jumped aside
; witih. yells that seemed  to echo his
own fright
j Someone afterward asked the minis-
! ter what he would have done had the
I highwaymen stayed in the road. "I
! would have run over them," he said.
] firmly, "and then, about 10 miles ifar-
■', ther on, I would have stopped at-somfi
fartni ihouse to notify both tlie sheriff
.and the coroner." ■ •
You read in the pioneer tales of
Oregon stories of heroic circuit riders.
They rode without complaining, and
dauntless df danger, whiercver ru'y
led. Indians imiight lurk b«side-tbe
narrow trails. These men of God ro^e
. on. If tihe horse failed, they walked.
In .routine deeds of day to day Idiey
exemplified untroubled 'faith -and by
their actions more than by their
words preached- that "He who is
greatest amOng you. shall be your servant"
' Thie Rev. D. Q. Barry In Clackamas
county is in the image of the olidHtMEe
circuit riders. Their sipirit .is his. To
be sure,, he driv-s a* car, where -they
went horseback, and somehow he
, manages to maintain it out of a sal-
' ary of $1,500 a year. Be drives from
60" to 90 miles evtery Sunday. He-covers 10,000 miles a year off the beaten
trails and smooth highways.'*' He conducts five church and Sunday school
services every Sundaiy, or 250 a year.
Week days he calls on the families of
his widespread "parish." His calls
number about 2,000 in a year. Some
of them are on homes tucked away in
u«lan,d corners where .only a -aers-st-
ent'imlissionary would imagine anyone
had residence. With him, nearly always, goes 'his devoted wife.
J    And he is a man well past 70!
' On a .recent Sunday this was his
"schedule: At Barton ihe opened the
Sunday school at 10:30. and taught a
class, having first driven with his
wife !from their home at Gladstrn-**.
Preaching service followed; tlhen,
back ovnr the road and /home f-r
lunch. "At 2:30 in the afternoon he
was at. the Evergreen school house, in
the R-dland district, as super in tne-
demt of tihe.Sunday school and teacher, withi a preac'ling service and s"ir-
mm that flollowe1.
The sturdy iiitt*© eair hronght minister and wife again to their home for
.Sunday evening supper, an-d'.thien carried-them -to Mulino in time, for a lecture on Bible study, an illustrated
senmon for the children -and a preaching service for the genera' cong'-ega-

IMPROVING BOY SCOUT
CAMP NEAR DEXTER
•    *        .       •	
Safine   Citizens Will Be   Given Opportunity to Help.
C. A. Curtiss and S. R. Wilson attended, a meeting of Washtenaw
Council, of the Boy Scouts, at the
.Michigan Union in. Ann Arbor on
Monday evening, at. which, time quotas were assigned the several dis-"
tricts in , t'he county to finance the
permanent Boy Stout camp near D:-x-
ter.    -
this project is one that should -excite the interest and conmnand the fi-
nancial assistance of all'citizens interested in the welfare .of the boys
of our village^'nearly all dt whom eligible to join are enrolled in the
arden. .     /
Under the direction of Coach Yost
of the ainiversity, ■. the grounds are
being laid oat and much-constructive
work-will1 be aconjplished during" the
next few weeks. ; The. entrance" to the
camp site will be of field stone, with
am ap-propriaite sign, above the gate.
A large dining hall will be erected,
a tower tor diving and the Exchange
club'of Ann Arbor will erect at their
own expense a handsome large log
cabin, in which winter activities may
be held.
The whole project calls for the outlay of eight thousand dollars, Saline's
share of which, including the annual
quota fer .maintaining the camp, is
a little. less than threa hundred
dollars, whioh no doubt can be raised
by contributione from our citizens.
I-!, doesn't call for much from any one
individual, but collectively the sum
will do much to promote the best in**
terests of our youflh. There is added
satisfaction in giving to this cause,
pis the miajor portion of the fiunds will
be devofled to permanent objects
which will have to be financed just
once. In future "years Saline's boys
will .be able to enjoy all the privileges
of the caimp at a verj; small annual
•ouftlav.
Full particulars of the drive to ob-
t-iin Saline's quota will be published
in our next issue. In the meantime.
