Rev. D. H. Leech went to Portland,
yesterday morning, to attend the great
meeting of Methodists OF which the Ore
gonian says: 'The committee on home
missions and church extension of the
Methodist Episcopal Church will con-
vene in Portland this week. 1t will be
one of the most important gatherings Of
the year in the denomination and will
bring together 80 IF the most prominent
men in the church, including l9 of the
bishops, secretaries, assistants and rep
resentatives of the IA general co. ference
districts. A reception will be given in
Grace Methodist Church, Thursday eve
ming, to which the public is invited, and
Friday the regular daily sessions will be-
gin. The committee will be in session
for about five days. Next Sunday the
Methodist churches of this city and num-
erous other places in the Oregon sonfer-
ence will be filled by bishops and other
members of the mbly." Rev. J. G..
Nicholson will occupy the pulpit in the
Corvallis M. E. church, morning and
evening, Sunday.

TRULY ARE YOU?

Il am doing the best know. ="
This is an old familiar sreech;
heard from the lips of young and
old and generally accepted as
expressing an unquestionable
truth. But it should be question
ed. Each one for himself should
ask: "Am I truly doing as well
as / know?' Rigid self-examina-
tion along this line would surely
convince the mass of men and
women that they were not think
ing nor living nor doing the best
they knew. They would find
they had more and better know
ledge than they had Incorporated
in the activities of life embraced
in the term ''doing.' They
would find more than this, for
they would see they could not,
each for himself, truthfully say:
II am doing the best I CAM
1t is doubtful if men, the mass
of men, can do as we'll as they
know. Their achievements fall
short of their knowledge. They
may accomplish that which
carries them to the limit of
the knowledge which they
possessed when they began the
work they have now finished,
but they will find the field of
their knowledge has been great
ly enlarged and the things
achieved have. borne them no
nearer the limits of their know
ledge. This is well, for if men
might achieve the best they
know a powerful incentive to
action would disappear and the
march of human progress be
brought to a halt.
But men are morally bound to
do the best they know. Every
scrap of human knowledge in it's
proper relation is of use. Ifit
were not so it would place no,
measure of responsibility upon
it's pOSsessOr. Since IT. is of use
every man is bound to make
right use of the whole stock of
his kno Wedge. Not only is he
bound to make right use, but he
is morally bound to make right
eous use of it and he cannot
escape from his moral obligation.
It is only by an ernest effort
to do the best he knaws that a !
man is enabled to do the best he
can. When he does this he has
met his legal responsibility, but i
he fails to meet his moral respon-
sibility if he does not earnestly
and persistently labor to do the
best he knows. /
1t needs no argument to prove
that if men were striving to do
the best they know crime of all
degrees would disappear and
our social, business and political
life would not need reformation.

WILL NOT BE DEFIED.

The man who is needless OF
public sentiment invites his own
un Ding. This is. especially true
when any element of morality is
involved. The man who viola
tes or proposes to violate the
moral sentiment of the people
will be destroyed. Whatever
his abilities, his former reputa-
tion and services, an aroused
and angered public moral senti-
ment' will place him in the pub
lie pillory, and cover him with
contempt, confusion and shame
and for all time scorn his mem
ory.
Time was, and the day is not
far past when there was prac-
tically little or no public senti-
ment in Oregon on any question.
This is easily explained. There
was little material out of which
to build up public sentiment,
and that was dispersed over a
wide area. Communication was
difficult, expensive and infrequ-
ent. Not only were the several
sections of the state isolated
from each other but the whole
state was isolated from the rest
of the country. Under these
conditions it was next to impos-
sible to create any decisive pub
lie sen timent on any question;
not, indeed, because our people
were immoral or dead to moral
purpose and obligations but be-
cause of great obstacles which
prevented the creation of general
public sentiment and made the
unification Of existing senti-
ments quite impossible. Public
sentiment had no form of cry
stallization, was without force
and became needless, negligent
and weak.
Under these conditions the
politics of the state was debauch-
ed, wholesome laws were violat-
ed withimpunity and dishonesty,
trickery, fraud and malfeasance
made it appear that the consci-
ence Of our people was scared
as with hot iron.'' /
Not so. The moral sentiment |
of the people simply needed to
be aroused, unified and strried |
to action. Pulpit, press and =,
rostrum worked long, earnestly |
and efficiently to this end and to-
day the moral public sentiment |
of our people is as pure and
active as in any state in the
union.
Oregonians have been fortu-
nate that they have had all
through the years one great,
able, fearless journal which has
wisely seen the moral fiber in
every public question and always
has been enough courageous to !
st and firm in IFS silnnort thol1rh !
Corvallis gazette. [volume] (Corvallis, Benton County, Or.) 1900-1909, 1907-11-15
it sometimes had to stand quite

lG sometimes mad TO stand quite
alone.
The signs are propitious.
Never in their history have The
American people been so fully
aroused; never have they been
SO unanimously determined that
right, truth, justice and right
eousness shall prevail. The
moral sense of the nation is
aroused and is rapidly crystal
lizing in all directions. No
longer may it be defed. The
rogue may not become an honest
man but he must cease his rogue
ry or be destroyed.
