A PRECIOUS THING.
.
Extracts from a sermon delivered by Rev.
Addison Jones at the fuueral of Robert C
-Kinney, thin afternoon at the Baptist Church-
Text: "Precious in, the ,slcht of the Lord
is the death of his saints.". Fs. 110:15
There are some passage 'of scripture
which appear more and more 'beautiful, the
longer we look at tbem. Occasionally wo
and a text, which, like ai precious stone doe
-not reveal tu fullest beauties until wa bold

one of those rich and luminous texts, which

life is precious rjaj"l that iu'.Sion,' chlet cor

precious cornor stone, as wo very w eli know,
was Christ. And it is not a little significant,
that in connection with this rare ,ist ot pre
cious thing, we are told thatto'Ood tho
death of the samt3 is precious..
Almost every other word In the text Is
equally significant and luminous In tho
sight" of the Lord.USo' then, tSod sees his
people. Ho is not' merely a blind force,
moving cruelly on," and crushing everything
in the w ay; not a steru, cold monarch, too
busy with big government and armies to no
tice the s'oVrows of his people; not a tyrant
so hard that he does not care for the grief of
a enna,' nut a loving fattier who pities his
children when they weep; who sees and
knows, and who, with his own hand, wipes

But wltnout stopping here to apply the
lens to ovory word, richly as it would ro
ward us, ulBce to say, that it is the Lord

to bo very vuluable and a credit to Oregon
Inventors, though veiy plain and simple In

improvement that can bo attached to an old
plow, if desiraV.o, ns veil as constructed us a
now one. It "consists of a point, land-sido,
and sharo on tho land-sldo for cutting uuder
tho land, constructed of one pleco of sheet

ter, curved to tho right, so as to cut tho sod
and gather all stubble or trasVaiid guldo it

Ths proprietors are not anxious to sell
