Here Is a pointed remark from the
Presidents address at Boston; "Many
who were impatient for the conflict a
year ago, apparently needless Of its
larger results, were the first to cry out
against the far reaching consequences
OF their W act" Luckily for the
country this class, though pernicious-
ly active, is not large enough to spoil
the victory.

Evolution.

"And say unto you, ask and it shall
be gwen unto you; seek, and ye shall
find knock, and it shall be opened unto
YOU; for everyone that asketh, receiveth,
aud he that seeketh, tindeth, and 10 him
that knocketh it shall be opened" The
Bible tells us the life of God is the light
of men, and | believe it. For long
time my life seemed to me like the mid
die of an interesting story, and for Il
long time | sought for the beginning,
which is now clear and perceptible to
my view.
| find there is nothing in existence
except one set OF particles of matter,
and that they are eternal and continu-
ally changing from one substance to
another, from one individuality TO an
other, and that they are divided into
seven grand divisions, viz: The gaseous
kingdom, the mineral kingdom, the yege
table kingdom, the animal kingdom, the
human kingdom, the divine kingdom,
and the Father God kingdom. There
WAS time when the whole set OF par
ticles OF matter was in their gaseous
state of existence in the gaseous king
dom, and there they commenced To de-
velop and unite 10 parcels and still keep
on developing up to higher nature,
and then unites In masses and changes
It's nature and becomes mineral matter,
and develops up through the mineral
kingdom and becomes vegetable matter,
and develops up through the Vegetable
kingdom and becomes animal matter,
and develops up through the animal
kingdom and becomes human matter,
and still keeps on developing and chang
ing its natures up through the human
kingdom and becomes divine matter of
the divine kingdom, and still keeps on
developing up through the divine king
dom into the Father God kingdom.
Here matter gets developed up to its
highest state of development and forms
one Almighty spiritual God. Here God
is all In all. The whole set of particles
of matter within himself, and as AL.
mighty God gets matured. The nature
of the whole set of particles of matter
changes to its lowest state In the gaseous
kingdom and then commences 10 develop
again. Thus and thus, eternity rolls on.
find there are many low natures, low
lights, at the present time, that are
gods to low developed men and women,
while at the same time they are devils to
high developed men and women, and
they will not be Influenced by them, and
at the same time the low developed will
serve them. The life of gods are lights
of high developed men and women. The
life of sataus are lights Of low developed
men and women. The higher developed
men and women 'get to be, while in this
world, the more blissful their happiness
will be after they get into the spirit
world, and the way to develop fast is to
put forth an effort and strive to do as
well as we know how to do while in this
world, and if we do that we shall be
happy after we get into the spirit world.
My past surroundings and organization
has taught me evolution is true.

At ushing's Island, Portland, one
day last week, an engine with two cars
of coal which was climbing steep in
cline from the wharf began to slip on
the ice and although the breaks were set
they were not effective and the train
began to run backward increasing its
speed as 1t went When 1t struck the
end of the wharf, it splintered the
heavy bumper, doubling the train up
like jacknife and causing the engine
to make complete somersault over the
cars in the water. The fireman and
engineer both escaped by jumping.
