Tcmbs and on Black wells Island than
there are Jews The Gcntilcs are no
better in the profession Of lAw-Moses
the greatest lawyer who ever lived, was
Jew. They are no better in banking
Rothsehi.d, the greatest banker, is jew.
They are no better in military life
Joshua was Jew. They are no better

no better theologians---th Lord Jesus

There are two positive certainties
- man is progressive or retrogressive
There is not, naturally, nor can there
possibly be, any standing.still place.
Man must either reach out after every
means by which he may pull himself up,
or the weight of his inaction must GER
tainly sink him below the possibility of
elevation. The army, in battle, must
either advance on the enemy, or retreat.
In the one instance, the victory must be
made complete by the capture of the foe,
in the other case defeat must be render
ed less humiliating, by well-managed
retreat. Now the contest of life is
fight in which we must march heroically
against its cares and its troubles. Upon
the persistency and determination of
our warfare depends our triumph over
these natural enemies. If VIC give way
to these foes, and sit inactive, they must
be our ultimate conquerors, and we must
sink under the humiliation of defeat
begotten by our own lamentable supinc-
ness. Life is a progressive state. First,
prattling babies, then initiative children,
and so on to the end Of the journey. We
are not full grown, matured men and
women, when we are brought into ex-
lstence, but gradually become SO. What
is true of individuals, is equally so of
communities. There is not to be found
that spot in its life where town may
or can stand still in any Of its interests.
1t must move forward or backward.
Now, as we are about entering upon a
new year, would it not be we'll for our
people to examine their own condition in
these respects We cannot afford to
go backward, but are we going forward?
If we are not, it is time NC n oqo stirring
ourselves. We must lose no time, for
a delay may prevent us from regaining
the lost distance. The sleeping maid

stupor of her slumbcrs, or else the spec
ire ofinerton will sit athwart the thresh-
olds of our households. Let the battle
cry of 1878 be " Onwardw Let the
united energies Of our people be brought
into exercise. Bring to the defeat of the
ruinous lethargy that has enwrapped us
in the folds of its sombre habiliments
that stern and unrelenting determination
that spurs the eonqueror to certain
victory. Encase ourselves in that armol
Of resolution through which the pierre
ing sword of despair can never pass, OF
the whistIing bullet of Encouragement
force its way. Then, and not I'LL then
will our little town rise superior to the
depression which has nearly smothered
her. Shall we advance or retreat? That
is the question.
