In a time-worn, weatlier-beaten church of a neighboring city, we lately kneeled with a company of earnest, sincere, believ ers in Jesus. That Uicy were earnest was evinced by fervent, devout petitions and heartfelt appeals, and that tliey believed the truths they professed aud recommend ed was no less certain ; but we felt that the conviction which followed theirappeals and prayers was not so much the result of erncstness as of the humble, unostentatious deportment of life which backed them, and realized more fully than ever before the influence and power Christians might wield and how much unbelief and Infideli ty might be changed to belief, it those wiio profess tlie principles which Christ taught would exhibit their own appreciation of those teachings by living in accordance with them, while with the lips they en treat others to accept them. , Church Members may trail tlieir rich gar ments to the house of God, and plead for tlie Divine blessings and tlie presence of the Spirit ; may point otliers to tlie Imb of God and speak in glowing words of tle b.lss of acceptance and the woe of rejection, but without a living example of an humble and obedient life, exhortation and prayer will avail nothing. ' JjTbe Spirit of the loving Savior does not follow in the wake of pride ami Pharisaism. During His sojourn ot thirty-three years among the rabble of earth,, did He 1 wrap around Him toe mantle ot Divinity and say, do as I bid you, but do not expect Me to mingle in tlie common walks of life ; do not expect Me to convs into contact and social relationship with those who are of the earth earthy ? Did He not take p hi abode in the most humble sphere of mortality ? Did He not lay His Divine hands in benediction and blessing upon tlie lowly and outcast, and glorify with His presence the homes of the poor and wretcli- ed? Did He wait until tlie stnuisror and lonely one had proven hl repect-hHify and station in society before He extended tlie hand of welcome ami love? instead He cliose for His constant companionship and bosom friend tlie most lowlv and poverty-stricken of Judea, the hernen of Gallilee, and ate with Publicans aud Sin ners. When professing Christians wrap them selves iu a mantle of reserve, ami with dig nified indiffereiice pass by upon the other side, leaving the feeble in his feebleness. tlie sorrowful in his grief, the stranger in his loneliness, the vile in his sinfulness let by contact with ' them they loe caste and tall from an enviable station, they for get that Pride goeth before a fall,' and a haughty spirit before destruction,1 and still wonder why sinners are so hardened and incorrigible, and why tlie Spirit is not poured out amongst us. j Christians the Spirit of Christ must be poured out through your h-mds and hearts be felt in the welcoming hand, tlie cordial smile, the clieering voice, the tender sym pathy which is tlie signet of. your knowl edge of the love ot Christ, the emblem and proof of your faith iu what you profess to believe and which J'ou wish otliers to ac cept. No axiom contains more truth tban that "Actions speak louder than words." : i . c s. From Hausev. Through C. Gray, Esq., we get the following news from Ualsey. Last Sunday morning. January 30th. a young man named James Steplienson, aged nineteen years breatlied his last. ; Another victim of consumption. Mr. D. L. Coryell, who lives in the vicini ty of Halscy, on Tuesday last, was very low with lung fever. Halsey is improving very rapidly, and 4 number of buildings will be erected as soon as tlie weather will permit.-' Among others Mr. James Crawford, saddier. will eract a neat residence. D. M. Cooper will also erect a handsome residence as early as pos sible. : ;v . ; u': t - ! nouses are in great demand owing to the influx of population, and small ; buildings rent for a per month. " Charley Paine'a youngest child reported; very ill indeed, with some kind of fever. But verv little fall wlieat was sown in the vicinity of Halsey! f AH that was sown, however, looks unusually well. The farm ers are ready tn take advantage of the first opportunity to commence farm work. Halsey is still ahead as regards the price of wheat.

GREAT EXCITEMENT DARK THREATS NO TABLE ESCAPE FltOM SHIPWRECK AN OCCASION TO BE REMEMBERED. LEBANON, Jan . 31st, 1873. Mr. EDITOR: There has been considera ble excitement over lu the Forks of late, over a communication that appeared in the Register of January 7th, over the signa ture ot H. Y. Z. Itewui-ds were offered for the man that wrote it. but ail to no purpose : so a council was ealled. resulting In the Rppoltitmeut of a comtnittee of two, vliose dut it was to wait upon the Editor ot the Register and demand ot lilm the name ot the party writing the arti cle, and In case of refusal the talk was that the office would be demolished I The Committee of Two consisted of Shacknasty Jim aud the Hydraulic Ram, and ofT they went, post haste for Albany, to attend to their offieia! duty. Tlie Committee has returned, but has not reported as yet. They left Albany on last Saturday at onj o'clock, 011 the steamer plyiiig between this city and Albany. The sea being very rough, one ot the Commit tee (the Hydraulic Ram) became very sea sick. .. Before embarking 1m had procured a bottle ut" aqua vltae to use as a preventa tive, but the more lie used the : worse he About this time Captain Dot ilea startled the passengers with the announcement that tlie vessel had sprung a-leak, aud was sink ing slowly. The ship carpenter went to work in earnest to find the leak, but it was not to be found. The first thought- was to overboard and try to swim ashore ; but as one pa.enger was sick and not able to swim, that idea w.is abandoned. The Captain told the passengers that' if they would be quiet, he thought he could beach her before she sunk. The bell was sound ed tor a full head 01" steam, and at five o'clock she was beached on Claughtou's Island, in a sinking condition. Great credit is due Capt. Inlea for the coolness which he displayed during the try ing ordeal. Tlie ' Vessel was examined carefully and thoroughly repaired yester day, and is ready for business this morning. She started tor Albany again this morn ing at 7 o'clock. NOVUS HOMO. Programme of M. E. Sunday School Concert.: Following is tlie programme of the exercises for the M. E.

Tlie Centetitilel Comrai sioners tor Oregon estimate that It will re quire seven thuusand doilarto enablo tlie State to be properly represented iu the Cen tennial Exposition at Philadelphia. Un less this amount 13 raised. Oregon products can not be properly exhibited there, and we sliall lose tlie great opportunity to give the world some idea of the merits of our State. : Oregonians are proud of their State. proud ot her, great agricultural resources. ot her mineral wealtli, in fact, of every tiling pertaining to her, and we do not be lieve tbey ajrejvilling.to lose tlie opportuni ty afforded by the Centennial Exposition of making a full exhibit of these resources to the nations of the earth, because of tlie lack of tlie paltry sum mentioned. As it will bo impossible to get an appropriation from the Legislature in time, the people ot tlie State are. called upon to come for. ward and make tip the sura, and we believe tbey will do it. Let the matter be taken up and put in proper shape, and we believe the sum needed can be raised in a very lit tle time, . . Since penning the above, the Centennial Board of Commissioners for Oregon have held a meeting, and appointed committees to solicit the necessary aid, the Board pledging itself to secure an appropriation from the next Legislature. If possible, to reimburse those advancing the money. Following are the committees for Linn county: Albany Martin Payne, L. F. Backen sto. Lay ton Blaine, Hon. G. A. Hill. : v Harrlsburg- How.

The Presbyteri an, Methodist and Baptist churches have united, and ft glorious work Is being no. coinpll-hed. -John Morris and a number ot the prominent citizens ot Scio and vicin ity have been happily converted, and have united with tire church, - A Genius. James Sherrill, of Harris burg, one of the biggest hearted boys iu Oregon, is a born mechanical genius. Jim lias been improving his Cultivator, which i now the best agricultural implement for the purposes for which it is intended in the United States. : It now has an iron axletree instead of a wooden one. and Is strengthen ed and improved throughout, as any one can fee by examining it. While busy im proving this machine, he has had time to exercise his genius for Invention In another direction, and has applied for a patent on what he calls a "cloth ineasure.'i At first blush this cloth measure would seem to be a very simple thing, and therein lies its merit. Tlie invention, is simply a slip of paper on which is printed a continuous measure, from one inch up to thousands of yards, If necessary. This strip or measure is folded up with the goods, silks, broad cloths, or any description of goods and tlie merchant can tell in a moment, by looking at the measure, just how many yards lias been sold, or how many yards remain in the piece. Tlie advantage of this Invention will at once be apparent to mercliants. It will save much time and labor. Annual Report.
