The gleams of all pun* truth converge Within the focus of your sight; For thia, my friend, is not the work for you: So leave it all for smaller men to do. i > Don’t hate men when their hands are hard. And patches make their garments whole; A man whose clothes an* spick and span May wear big patches on his soul. Don't hate a man because his coat Does not conform to fashion’s art; A man may wear a full-dress suit, And have a rag-a-muffin heart.

Oregon I * A FEW MINUTES WITH THE EDITOR < ► A NATIONAL INITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM Just keep your eye on the movement toward a national ini tiative and referendum. It is coming. The seed is just root ing. It is gaining slowly, so slowly that its growth is hardly perceptible, but it is growing just the same, and in time a mighty weapon will be in the hands of the people, who will use it to amend that ancient con stitution to fit present day neces sities; to ele^t our President and congressmen by the direct vote of the people; to teach congress and the interests that the people have some say and propose to be heard. The wagon is started, it is barely moving now because a very few have their shoulder to to the wheel, but men are grad ually falling into line and soon the wagon will be at the top of the hill, and then, as usual, every fellow in the country will want to climb in and ride down. It is easy going then. Better give the movement for “a gov ernment of the people, by the people and for the people” a lift now. Don’t do it though, unless you expect to be called visionary, a fool or a crank, because the self-satisfied man, the trusts and the grafter.will put up just that kind of'argument. But remem ber, every reform movement started with a crank. TIMES HAVE CHANGED The time once was when a congregation would patiently sit and listen attentively to a ser mon of one or two hours’ dura tion. Two centuries ago a church sen-ice of three hours was not considered long. In that day and age people were not as well educated as now, had few books, fewer papers or magazines, and were more easily entertained. The country has passed out of the back woods stage. People are now busy, bright, intelligent and well read. They go to church to hear the simple gospel, to learn of the simple l»£e as taught by the great Teacher. Ordinary folk, however, do not enjoy a church senice lasting much longer than one hour, and the sermon, in order to meet this requirement, should be delivered inside of 30 minutes. The aver age preacher of the old school will of course demur to this. The modem exponent of things spiritual will, however, admit the wisdom of the hour service. What is more distressing to the average lay mind than the long-winded effort of the back- woods preacher, well intended though it may be? And what is more refreshing than a concise, forceful, well-arranged sermon, delivered in a brief, animated, yet simple way? Not so very long ago the wri ter heard a minister read a chap ter and explain it as he went along. The one short song at the commencement, a brief prayer, and the reading and ex plaining of that chapter took ex actly 50 minutes, then another prayer, a song, and then the people expected to be dismissed, for it was noon. Up to this point the people had enjoyed the ser vice. The preacher evidently had no knowledge of time; the audience had. He went right on, announced his text, and con tinued that service for another hour, but at the end of that hour the small audience he had in the beginning had dwindled down to a much smaller number. Peo ple had simply become worn out and gone home. Preachers and lay members alike complain of empty pews in our churches. There are rea sons for it, and one of them is the long prayers, expositions and sermons of the long-winded preacher. They fail to take into consideration the fact that the world is not what it was two centuries ago. People must be They want to be entertained, told the old. old story, but it must be told in a sweet, win- some, brief and entertaining way. The story must be con densed if the teller would have it swallowed by, and effectual with his audience. / Despise not any man that lives, Alien or neighbor, near or far; Go out beneath the scornful stars. And see how very small you are. The world is large, and space is high That sweeps around our little ken; But there’s no space or time to spare In which to hate our fellowmen. And this, my friend, is not the work for you; Then leave all this for smaller men to do. 11 • > BE SLOW TO ANGER *‘A wrathful man stirroth UP strife: but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.” Just how many homes ruined or lives blighttd through anger, will per haps never be known. This much we do know. The more one gives way to anger, the more one may. "Whoso keepeth his mouth and tongue, keepeth his soul from trouble.” We may also add, “It is better to dwell in the wilderness than with a contentious and an angry wom an.” Angry women, however, are often made so by the indif ferent treatment accorded them by their husbands, and vice versa. Wouldn’t it be well, when in the home, to see less, hear less, and say less, except to seek and praise that which is good in each other? The Herald is in receipt of a poem on Oregon from a subscrib er at Orient which, even were we so inclined, we could not pub lish for the good and sufficient reason that the writer’s name is not signed to it. The Herald's rule is not to publish any un signed article. This does not mean, of course, that the name must appear in print, but to in sure the editor of honesty of purpose of the one submitting the article. Our readers will do well to keep this in mind. Some people appear to have doubts as to the advisability of accepting clearing house certifi cates. The only fault The Her ald finds with them is—we don’t Gresham is indeed fortunate get enough of them. just now.
