IT is rather early in the season for
mining excitement. but it has set in
nevertheless. A great many prospect
ing parties are leaving town for the
ranges of mountains between the Hum,
boldt aud Qnin River. Silver State
and Rebel Greek Districts seem to have
the cali at present, Specimens from
recently discovered lodges are brought
to town daily. and almost everybody
who have been to the mines has a
pocket fail of specimens and several
certificates of assay The ores brought
here from different localities are rich
beyond all doubt, and if the leads
which produced them are as large and
we'll defined as they are represented to
be by their owners. Humboldt county
will be the leading bullion producing
county in the State 10 a few years.
The interest taken 10 prospecting aud
mining is much greater than at any
previous time since the first rush from
California to Humboldt in 1862 and
1868. Besides the older mining camps
in this county, there are extensive
ranges south as we'll as north of the
railroad uuprospected, and unless the
mineral bearing veins in this locality
are different from those found in other
parts of the State, and the ore is all at
or near the surface, which is as im.
probable as it is unprecedented. there
is brightfuture ahead for Humboldt
county.

They are paid large salaries for pre-
tending to be capable Of doing this, but
regularly, once or twice year, they tell
their congregations that they are impotent
to produce the desired effects, and call upon
peripatetic bible-banger to set the ball
rolling. Surely they must be devoid of both
personal and professional pride.
When Mr.. Whittle and his partner come
to st. Paul we suggest that they get up q
revival of religion among the clergy. There
is no class of people who need q revival
more. If they possessed any of the earnest
ness they enjoin upon others it would not be
necessary to tax their people to import q

CONTENTION IN TIE oHURoHEs.

The beginning of strife is as when one let
teth out water; therefore, leave off contention
before it be meddled with.-PRovERBs XVII: IA.
Every observing person will recognize
the aptness of the smile employed by the
wise man. One may open ever so small an
outlet for the water of mill-dam, it will
constantly increase until the stream, at first
but the size of needle, becomes raging
torrent, strewing death and destruction in
| its pathway. So with the beginning of
strife. At first a careless word may be
dropped, giving rise to a petulant or angry
retort, elimination and recrimination follow
each other, until the friendly relations that
formerly subsisted in the family, the church,
and often the whole community, are
hopelessly disrupted. The danger
of suffering strife to enter community
is nowhere more oonspicuously noticeable
than in the churches, for nearly every re-
igious community has its fight upon its
hands which is constant source of dis
quietude and contention. Sometimes it is
the minister who, with rare independence,
condemns some sin of which member of
his church or congregation has been con-
spicuously guilty. The result is almost in
variably the beginning of war upon him
by the person aggrieyed. Sometimes one of
the deacons or elders fancies himself injured
by a remark from brother, and instead of
going to that brother in private, as enjoined
by Christ, and telling him his fault he tells
1t to a third party, that person relates it to
friend with all the customary exaggera-
tons and embellishments, and he in turn
gives the story an impetus. The result is
that in q very short time there is
a large-sized quarrel on hand in
which each member of the church takes
part, and it frequently results in the disrup-
ton of the church organization and the
formation of schism.
In every large city in the country there are

innumerable weak churches, with small
membership, little influence or standing,
and heavily incumbered with debt. These
are, almost invariably, the result of quarrels
among members. It is rare, indeed, for .
church to remain thoroughly united for five
years. Something usually intervenes to in
terrcpt the harmony of the organization.
Occasionally one portion Of the membership
desire to secure the services Of one particu-
lar clergyman as their pastor, while another
portion prefers different man. A dispute
arises which is almost certain to result in the
secession of the defeated faction and the
formation Of different society. The
new organization builds house
of worship and employs it's
favorite pastor. It may prosper, but the
chances are that twill maintain precarious
existence till such time as the mortgages
upon the church property become due, when
it dies natural death or succeeds, by i'm
posing extraordinary and unnecessary bur
dens upon its members, in clearing off the
incumbrances. If its career is a prosperous
one from the start, as is sometimes the case,
there is an almost absolute certainty that
the incident that gave it its existence will be
repeated, it may be with some variation, but
will inevitably come at some time. Differ
ences of opinion as to questions of church
polity frequently give rise to quarrels which
eventuate in the disruption of the church
and contribute largely. to hindering the prog
ress of true religion (; for where there is q
constant strife as in the churches those who
love peace cannot be induced to go.
Greater care ought to be exercised by
those having the interests of the church at
heart to keep out all disturbing causes. One
OF the ordinary church quarrels does more
to injure the church than all the assaults OF
the infidel controversialists combined. We
look for harmony among men protesting the
same faith. Religion is based on the broth
erhood of man, but if, instead of witnessing
the practice of brotherly love we behold con-
tention and strife, backbiting and hatred, we
have reason to assert that religion is a
failure-at least the form of religion prac-
ticed or that members of churches are nat
urally 80 depraved that even the beautiful
doctrines taught by the Savior are powerless
to transform them into loving and honora-
BILE men and women. One or the other CON
clusion is inevitable, and the sooner our
church people awake to the realization of the
fact the better it will be for the church and
