'Tnstead of reading love stories and

men, the beacon lights of history;
then will many lives be lifted from
obscurity."
1.-The force of example," continued
DR.. j. NJ. Fulton, pastor of the Cen
trail Presbyterian church, Cedar
street, speaking at the church last
night of Abraham Lincoln, the Great
Heart of America" will always in
spire humanity, as Leonidas and his
heroic band so long inspired the Spar
tans. Great names, great hearts, rem
der great other names and other

What made Abraham Lincoln is
what makes any man-ancestry, op-
portunity, will. We do not always
count ancestry, but it counts itself in
spite of us. Holmes has we'll said:
In crossing the isthmus Of life we
travel, not in a private carriage, but
in a hired omnibus: that is, we must
carry with US our inherited tendencies
Yet Lincoln's ancestry was not ideal
His father was a typical hunter of the
backwoods-a lazy, good-natured Her
cules. The family stock had degen-
Grated; Lincoln received only the ply
steal advantages of his lineage. For
we must not forget that Lincoln, six
feet four inches in height, rose above
other men partly because he lowered
above them physically.
THE cabin life of his childhood was
simple to the point of rudeness. Dur
ing many years the house lacked door
or windows. The bed was composed
al poles, the mattress Of leaves. Floor
there was none; the children slept
upon the bare ground

amid such temptations to obscuritv
young Lincoln destroyed Ignorance and
Incidence as the infant Hercules de-
stroyed the two serpents sent to
strange him in his CRADLE He read far
into the night, by the Pickering light
or the fireplace, the Bible Aesop's ia
bles, what books he could obtain. He
walked regularly. seventeen miles both
ways to attend court that he might
near the speechmaking he so much ad-
mired. Listening once, it is said to
john G. Breckenridge, young Lincoln
resolved to become a LAWYER. hut his
opportunity was far off.
He labored in. the field: he spIit
logs; he ran for the legislature and
was defeated; he became a storekeep-
er; he secured the position of post
master and read the newspapers that
passed through his office. At a pub
lie auction he bought copy of Black
stone. From friends in Springfield he
borrowed other law books, walking
back and forth the distance of four
teen miles and reading all the way. He
practiced surveying until his instru-
ments were sold for debt; he ran again
Tor the legislature and succeeded. but
before he took his seat he was Obliged
TO borrow $500 to pay his campaign
expenses and buy suit of clothes.
Three times he went to the legisIa-
ture, once to congress. Then, at the
age of forty, he prepared to settle down
IN Springfield and practice his profess
sion. Had he died at this time the
world would never have realized that
1t had lost a great man; Lincoln was
waiting his opportunity"

Then, just before the benediction was
repeated, the evangelist and his assist
ants began to distribute to the boys
certain leaflets, pink and white, to-wit,
certain tracts. whereof a specimen, en-
titled John Three Sixteen" told Of
street boy in Dublin who was brought
to salvation by repeating as a mysteri-
Gus password a reference to the Divine
assurance through John, whatsoever
believeth in Him shall not perish"
Whether all the boys could under
stand this spiritual comfort of the ages
they certainly desired the leaf1et, for
at the announcement they made for the
pulpit as though the speaker had called
them up to sell a war news extra edi-
ton, and scramble followed which did
not subside until the supply of leaflets
was exhausted. And "Reddy,' whose
topknOt, like a brilliant buoy, marked
him above the maelstrom in the center
aisle, came out painting with a tract in
each hand. In the shelter of ode bull'

the printed pages, and sighed, above

that brought about the Civil war, said
that in 1858 Lincoln promptly found his
place, declaring that "a house divided
against itself cannot stand" Then fol-
lowed his famous series of speeches
in the unsuccessful struggle with Ste
phen A. Douglass for United States
senatorship. Two years later Lincoln
was elected president; he had triumph
ed at last.
las president he sought a general,
and found him in Grant, who would
strike hard, whose watchword would be
victory or annihilation.' Yet Lincoln
did not like war. His heart bled after
every battle; but he knew that peace
could come only from the destruction
of armies. Being a great statesman,
he was greater than his great generals.
They knew that at Washington was a
great man who could understand all
the problems of war and diplomacy,
and the gentle mothers of the country
knew that there was at Washington a
great heart sympathizing with every
mothers grief
Abraham Lincoln was indeed, a
great man. His fame has not crum-
bled with the passing years. The peo-
pies idol has not been shattered by his
tOric criticism. He was a self-made
man; he pracficed writing with burnt
stick on smooth board; he learned
grammar after he was tWenty-one. He
was good man-not a saint, not a
church member But he knew his
Bible better than his law books. He
walked miles to restore seven cents to
their owner. After that he was called
Honest Abe He said, I am glad
Christian women have prayed for me;

declared, after his death, He was the
best boy ever saw He said himself,

nave more than made good. With the in
crease on the coast, there is still a short

In 1895 Oregon produced $4,000 bales

Since 1895 this country has never
raised anywhere near that quantity of
hops. With an increase in acreage on the
Pacific coast during the past three or
four years, VIE are still short of the guam
tity of 1895 and 1896. During this time
there has been a steady increase in the

The juvenile congregation dashed to-

A religious meeting at 443 Jackson
street yesterday afternoon broke up in

But it was an aniable riot; the con-
gregation were fighting for tracts
There were a hundred newsboys and
messenger boys, and they had just
closed an enjoyable, and, no doubt, an
instructive meeting, the first of a Sc
RES to be conducted under the auspices
OF the Union Gospel mission.
The boys had received cards of invi-
tatlon with their "papes" at the news
paper offices yesterday morning They
mad hurried over to Jackson street at 8
O'Clock p. m, directing each other to
the big blue and white sign across the
sidewalk, Jesus Saves"
Within the mission they had clus-
tered thick beneath the red inter-
rogatory printed across the wall: How
Long Since You Wrote to Mother?"
They had spelled out this sign very au-
dibly. They had practiced their erudi-
ZION also upon a more striking emblaz-
onment in red and black letters:
There is a Hell for Anyone Out of
Christ;
And Christ for Anyone Out Of Help
