RICH HILL LETTER.
Moralizing on Men.-Some
Measure up to Responsible
tiles Of Citizenship, while
Others do Not The Re-
cent Successful Religious
Revival Other Matters.

Stlii ou 'be moV6. lnQ6eC, things
happen here just about as they
do IN other places where good
men of public spirit and indomi-
table courage and un elf shness
are at the bach of things.
Did you ever notice that IN the
civil and commerci Il as we'll as
religious world that the ire fu
table law of compensation deals
kindly and justly with the ag.
gressive, unselfish public spirit
ed man? Is it not generally true
that the man who gives most free
ly of himself and means to the
advancement of principles, poll
cies and means that tend TO The
uplifting and upbuildlng of his
community, that he himself is
not the most honored and pros
porous of them all? 1t is to him
the people of his community look
for encouragement and advice.
1t is to him his people appeal to
In sickness and dire necessity.
Why is i: that so many even
men OF talent and ability and
means are, it seems, so complete
ly and eblivious to the conditions
need, aud requirements OF their
community, borh moral and ply
sicals Why, think for a mpment.
Tne results OBJ ainable by unity
of purpose and coop aration of
body of earnest AMI unselfish
mcn, trying each to do his full
share in uplifting and in better
ing his people and community.
Now if it is the duty and priv
ilege of one or two men to do
all in :heir power for the better
ment of their community, then
why is it not the duty and pri.
vilege of all TO do their utmost
for The same causes No man
has the neral right to pursue a
course, which if followed by all,
would demoralize and lower the
standard of his order, his busi
ness, his profession, his church
or community. Suppose for in-
stance, if no one should take any
more interest in the general con-
dition and welfare of his family,
his farm. business, education,
church or into the general inter.
ests OF his community than many
of US (who would not like to be
called independently do, whit
in the name OF goodness would
become of us2 How many homes
beautiiied, schools made ade.
quate, how many comfortable
and commodious churches built
for the worship of the true and
living God, how many mission
aries sent 10 the sln-cursed and
Goddess heathen? etc, etc. If a
few can accomplish so much,
how much, oh ! how much might
we accomplish united. "Christ
prayed that we might all be one
as he and the Father are one".
Well, Mr.. Editor, | did not in
tend in the outset TO burden YOU
with my moral philosophy, for
l am as fish out of water when
try to surmonize However,
when one allows his mind to
dwell even but for moment on
things as they are and as they
might be how can he help lls
So many things have trans
pired in and around this little
village since my last letter, that
can scarcely make head or tail
of them. First, might say that
those six melon patches proved
themselves all and more than ex-
pected of them, both in excel.
lency of temper and sweetness of
heart. Bot from subsequent in.
