Do not worry, o Christian, If you have to
do more than your snare OF the work. You
had better thank God that He has called YOU
to be one Of the picked men rather than to
belong to the host of straSglers. Would not
YOU rather be one of the 800 that fight than
the $4,000 that run2 suppose those COW
ardly Gideonites who went off congratu-
lated themselves They said: 1--WE got rid
OF all that fighting, did not we? How
lucky we have been! That battle costs
US nothing at ALL" But they got none
of the spoils OF the victory. After the battle
the 300 men went down aud took the wealth
OF the Midianites, and out of the cups and
platters of their enemies they feasted. Aud
the time will come. my dear brethren,
when the hosts OF darkness will be routed.
and Christ will say to His troops: "Well
done, my brave men. Go up and take the
spoils. Be more than conquerors forever"
And in that day all deserters will be shot.
Again, learn fromthis subject that Gods
way is different from mans. but is always
the best way. II we had the planning Of that
battle, we would have taken those $4,000
men that originally belonged to the army,
and We would have drilled them and
marched them up and down by the day and
week aud month, AMI we would have hal
them equipped with swords or spears, accord
ing to tho way of arming in those times.
and then we would have marched them
down in solid column upon the foe.
But that Is not the way. God deplete; the
army, and takes away all their weapons, ,and
gives them a lamp, and pitcher, and a
trumpet, and tells them to 60 down and
drive out the Midianites. suppose some
wiseacres were there who said: ''That Is not
military tactics. The idea OF 300 men un-
armed conquering such great host of Mid
ianites!" It was the best way. What sword.
spear or cannon ever accomplished such u
victory as the lamp, pitcher and trumpet?
Gods way Is different from mans way,
but 1t is always best. Take, for instance,
the composition OF the Bible. II We had had
the writing Of the Bible, We would have said.
sIet one man write 1t. II you have twenty
or thirty men to write poem. or make Q

Crop Report.

The weather has been exceedingly fav-
orable to all growing vegetation. The
first strawberries ripened this year in
Wasco county, then In Douglas county,
later in the Willamette valley, and now
in the coast counties; but by proper eff
fort the strawberry season can be made
longer, prices better and many more
grown by utilizing these climatic belts
and the proper variety OF berries for the
early, medium and late season.
Haying Is in progress in all sections,
and the prevailing weather is extremely
favorable to it.
Oats and wheat that were fall or win.
ter sown have headed out. The corres-
pondents uniformly report that the grain
prospects were never better. There is a
thorough feeling of satisfaction over the
grain outlook among the farmers.
Some barley will be cut this week.
Some few correspondents report smut in
their wheat; this is confined almost en-
tirely to the low lands. The grain aphis
has almost entirely disappeared: no dam
age was done by this insect. The warm
weather has been especially beneficial to
the corn. There has been more corn
than usual planted. Flax has been quite
extensively sown in Linn county, and it
Is reported TO be in an excellent condition
Potatoes have an extraordinarily good
growth. The potato crop this year prom
lses to be the largest ever produced i'll
Oregon.
Hops continue to thrive and grow rap
idly. Hop lice are present in all yards,
but at present in small numbers.
The prune, peach, apple and pear trees
continue to promise large yields. There
is some complaint of fruit dropping, but
that is the natural pruning, sufficient be-
ing left on the trees to yet make a very
heavy crop; in fact, more than most
trees can well bear.
Grasshoppers are reported to be in
jackson county, in large numbers; SO far
no damage has been done, bat their pres
is viewed with alarm.
Without exception, the correspondents
report most fiattering outlook ior a sue
cessful year.
From Eastern Oregon there are few
correspondents who report even fair
condition OF the crops except fruit, while
the majority OF them report decidedly
poor prospects. The absence of rain has
been very injurious to all grain crops.
The temperature has been free from any
extreme heat, and it has been due en-
tirely TO the cooler weather that the con-
ditions are as good as they are.

A Lane County Crime.

EUGENE, Or, June oh. P. Hayes oi
Fall Greek precinct, this county, was ar
rested at the residence of his sister, Mrs.
Buttricks, two miles from Junction City,
today and now languishes in the county
Jail here, with charge of incest against
him. He may also be called upon to an
swer charge OF murder before the case
is settled. Hayes is school teacher,
and he he's niece, Miss Susan Walker,
who is also a school teacher. Miss
Walker last night gave birth to child
and charges Hayes with being her be-
trayer. She went to her mother two
weeks ago and made confession rs to,
her condition. About the first of May
the father of Miss Walker had an inti-
nation of the condition OF his daughter,
and one day told Hayes that if his sus-
picions materiaiized he would kill the
guilty man. On the 18th of May Walk
er was taken suddenly and violently ill,
and was taken to his house, where he
soon died in great agony, having spasms
and violent commissions. For some
reason the case was never reported to
the coroner and Walkers remains were
inferred without any inquest or post
mortem examination. This morning,
when Coroner Harris heard OF the facts,
he went to the place for the purpose of
having the body exhumed and an analy-
sis made of the contents OF the stomach.

church OF her choice.
shc was united in marriage to W. J..
Galloway, January 4th, 1854. Her short
weddei life WIS happy one, notwith-
standing the fact that she was sick near
y all the time. She went into the higher
attitudes Of California and Southern Ore
gon, with the hope OF regaining her
health, but all that change Of climate
could DO, the dread disease ccnld not be
arrested. Returning TO the home Of her
parents in Albany she was most tenderly

about her bed when her soul departed,
her husband, father, mother, sister and
Two brothers, beside other relatives and
friends, and witnessed her triumph.
thus another beautiful christian charac-
ter has been called from labor TO reward:
from this world of sin and sorrow to the
world OF purity and bliss; from the
earthly home, with its pleasant and hap
py associations, to the heavenly home
where there Is Joy unspeakable and full
of glory She was very patient; never
murmuring nor complaining. AS death

There are many shadows that fall
across the hearth-stones Of our homes,
but for the family the calling away of the
youngest, seemed to be the darkest
shadow Of all, but when they beheId how
victorious her faith was when death
came, the shadows seemed to be chased
away by the dawning Of brighter hope.
There is weeping on the earth Tor the
lost.
There is bowling grief to the ground,
But rejoicing and praise mid the sane
titled host,
For spirit in paradise found.
Though brightness hath passed from
the earth,
Yet a star Is new born in the sky,
And soul hath gone home to the land
of its birth.
Where are pleasures and fulneis OF Joy.
And new harp is strung and new
song Is given
To the breezes that float Ger the gar
