PAsT AND PRESENT.

A few sentimental eroakers
among us are fond of .bewailing our.
present comparative degradation,
while exalting the finer qualities of
old medieval times. They profess
to mment the time when gas and
oil were unknown, and when pine
wood torches or rudely-moulded
candles gave all the light that was
needed. But the record of olden
times is sad one. Stained with
blood and wet with tears, darkened
by Ignorance and overlaid by
superstitions, defaced by tyranny
and everywhere in state of unrest
and lawlessness, it has only its po-
etic aspect to recommend it,
What we are now. with our
shrieking steam engines and vol
umes of black smoke, our leaders
of industry and our armies of
workers, our equal laws and abo-
lition of privileges, is thousand
times better than in those old he
roic times which poets delight to
honor and painters to beautify. If
the good of the race be the great
object of the human family, we
have done far more towards that
desired end than in the days when
knights went capering through the
pathless forest and over the untitled
plains in search for adventures of
war-like kind. Our African ex-,
plorers, who have no more romantic
object in view than to bag big game
or to open new market for goods,
are of far more value to the world
than the hordes of titled men who
have meandered through the pages
Of romance; and the despised fac
tory chimney is a sign of greater
glory than the shield hung up by
the side of some sick Drained chew
alier eager for fight
We have to go on, not to go back,
and victories of life lie on the ho-
rizon before es, not in the grave
behind us. Art and science ought
to lend serenity and dignity to life,
and progress means wealth and
comfort and security.

CHRISTI CALL TO REPENTANCE.
The 'sinners" alone could hear the
call of Christ This Is true IN civiii-
zation as well zs religion. Whoever
Has new idea to propose VIII find no
disposition to listen to it on the part
sof those who are satisfied with the
old ideas or taken mp with their own
aaotiols. He must seek prepared men
and deliver his call 10 them. They
sare conscious Of want; they are dis
aeasisfed With the past; they look
s-earniHsay toward the future. Christ
came xi.s4 the erv OF repentance, a
cry Rllseiz by ats yeGv nature divided
society and developed strong feelings
on both sides. The cry repent" was a
eeaas ts change the very springs Of life.
1t implied-indeed it expressed-a
heavy charge against society. You
are wrong-wrong In heart, wrong ia
hfe-and you must change If you
vF0ssEd enter the kingdom which Is at
hand. Such call Of necessity set
men thinking as they had never
Thought before It put men on the
defensive. 1t did not give them an
ssppostusity of SAYING guilty or not
guilty, bat assumed the guilt and de-
ssrigiitesws" set themselves against IL.
: They were a unit III eontesting the
revolutionary idea. Hardly any other
cry could have produced such an eff
feet upon them it was intended to
work seif-conviciiom, but failing in
this il consolidated the moral con
Servatism of the unbelievers. 1t was
to be expected that a great division
would follow the cry, and that hence
forth a marked line would show the
space occupied by those "who trusted
Ia themselves that they were right
cons and despised others" The call
of Christ was the instrument OF elee-
tion, pointing out those upon whom
it coul produce the intended effect.
All calls to other life, good or bad
have in them Of necessity an effective
principle, simply because they sep
arate and CLASSIFY men. Christ acted
IN this matter precisely as sensible
mee act under similar conditions
they turn from those who do not
want them, and work with those who
appreciate their purpose The nature
OF the call determines the nature of
the society that will be summoned by
it. Christ uttered call which plainly
said that men needed to change their
course, and il was natural that snch
men alone should draw around him,
that they might learn al that he
meant with reference to the future
To any man conscious OF want, OF
sin, or ignorance, the call TO repent
anee Is the very call most suited to
ls1m 1nsfsad OF turning him into
. Despair, i4giyes him hope; it shows
that an opportunity is still left, and
hat one man at least is willing to
point ont how that opportunity may
e.s.e turned to advantage. The call oi
Jesus Christ means that ne man need
ehivering npon the ruin he has
azTaEghf, but that he may arise and
reb9si4d and enter into rest.

To break of bad habits, one must
understand the reasons, and all the
REASONS why the habit is Injurious.
Study the subject until there is no
lingering doubt in your mind
Avoid the places, the persons and
sthe thoughts that lead to the temp
ration. Frequent the places, asso-
Viate with the persons, indulge the
Ahoughts that lead away from temp
4ation- Keep busy; idleness is the
strength of bad habits Do not
give up the struggle when you have
broken your resolution once, twice,

shows how much need there is for
You TO strive When YOU have
broken your resolution, Just think
tshe matter over, and endeavor TO
understand why it was you failed,
so-that you may be on your guard
against a recurrence OF the same
circumstances. Do not think it an
easy thing you have undertaken.
1t is folly to expect to break of a
habit In a day which may have
been gathering strength IN you for

Through the untiring efforts of
our congressman, Oregon has come
to the front and received proper
recognition IN the River and Harbor
bill. It would not be the least exag-
geration to say she has fared better
than at any previous session of
congress. 81, 100000 has been
allotted her to be expended in inn
proving the present condition of her
bavs; harbors, and navigable rivers.
With a conservative expenditure of
this amount, no other state of the
Union will excel ours IN the in-
provement of our water courses from
the far interior to the coast.
