This is the last issue of the Ban
ner for the year 1898. We stand
now amid the deepening twilight of
the dying year. Gods clock of time
peals the rapidly passing moments.
Soon it's death -knell will be sounded;
its record of deeds, good and bad;
of neglected opportunities and
broken resolves, will be forever clos
ed. AS thus we stand and review
this closing chapter of life let us
realize that we are approaching the
portal Of newborn year, which
comes to US, by Infinite Mercy, laden
with opportunities for correcting the
mistakes of the past. We need to
be reminded that we are growing
older and our life record will soon
he made up. Some who read this
may not see with mortal eyes the
dying embers of another year. May
God help US all to use the future
better than the past.

STREET IMPROVEMENTS.
More Street Work Needed-Plenty
of Men to do it.

Salem's new council has been
busily engaged up to the present time
revising its charter preparatory to
having it amended by the present
legislature. 1t is generally conceded
that under the charter as 1t now
reads it Is impossible to do street
work and collect pay off the abut-
ting property, hence 1t is desirable
to have 1t changed at the earliest
possible date. Much work Is needed
in this line, and 1t 10 the disposition
OF the new council 10 have 1t done.
One strong reason why some public
work should be started up at once
Is that Salem has at present an un-
usual number of unemployed men.
Many of these are laborers who
came here the past year TO take ad-
vantage of the public work being
done and are now permanent resi-
dents of the city.
They have families 10 support,
and as there Is no building going on
during the winter months these
people are hard up and many In
need. Ifsome public work could be
ordered at once IL would prove a
blessing 10 this class Of citizens II
will take only q short time to have
he charter amended after the coun-
oil concludes what is wanted. and
1t is believed that all the points are
now settled ready for action. This
being the case IL would be not only
an act Of charity but good stroke
Of business policy TO proceed with
some public work at once.

A REUNITED CHURCH.
Successful Labors Of Rev. Il. M
Thompson of Kentucky.

A month ago Rev. II. M. Thomp-
son came TO Salem and began a
work Of the most difficult character
that of consolidating aud solidify-
ing the scattered forces of the First
Congregational church. We under
stand that he has practically sue
ceeded IN bringing about reconcile
alton that will reunite the factions
and close up the ranks Of this pow
erful society. This is a result In
which the public as well as the
members Of the church are interested.
Its but just 10 say that Mr.. ThomP
sons fine abilities as u pulpit orator
and his good tact as gentleman,
but more than ali his true Christian
spirit was largely instrumental in
bringing this about. We under
stand he will continue TO preach
here until the building Of new
church Is well under way and q
regular pastor is called. His work
here has been truly blessed by re-
storing a higher degree Of harmony
aud spiritual power In the work Of
this society.
