Speak the truth or hold your tongue, Huts or palaces among ; Weak is reputation all, Little causes make it fall ; Fame to fail is easy made, Till its grandeur is betrayed ; Calumnies are devil flung— Speak the truth or hold your tongue. Hold your tongue or speak the truth ; That is virtue’s heart, in sootu ; Men are demons, ill of name, When they tear each other's fame ; They are angels fair to view When their words are always true ; Then, ye hoste of age and youth, Hold your tongue or speak the truth. —Frankfort CrwMtft We call special attention to the article this week headed “Just Think of It 1” It touches on a duty that is sadly neglected on this coast as well as elsewhere among our brethren. We would be glad to see great improvements made in this respect in the near future. The “ Christian Preacher ” comes to us this week greatly reduced in size and in folio form at one dollar a year. Hard times demand a cheaper paper, and by reducing the size the editor hopes to issue more regularly in the future, are the principal reasons for the change. We wish the “ Preacher ♦ ” all sue- cess. We are indebted to the Standard Publishing Company, Cincinnati, Ohio, for a very fine lithograph containing a group of pictures of * Representative Religious Journals md Journalists of America.” There are twelve in all, and among them we find the editor of the “ Christian Standard,” Isaac Errett. The group, we believe, is for sale by the Standard Co., but the price is not ’¿iven, The picture is a very fine one and is certainly a compliment to the ability of one of our leading editors and journals. Address Standard Publishing Co., Cincin- iati, Ohio. We have received the second number of the " Model Christiail,’* a monthly devoted to the Apostolic Order of Things, published at Mineral Springs, Arkansas, S. R. Ezzell and J. R. Jones, editors. It is in pamphlet form and contains 30 pages, and is vigorously and IJiIy’ edited. We know something of these men and are glad to note that the “ Model Christian ” is in safe and able hands, and we wish it all success. NO. 38.

We hope the day is not far distant when we can all see eye to eye and be one in Christ in a higher, deeper and holier sense than ever before. Bro. J. D. Hawes, of East Port land, has been a caller this week. Prof. Hawes comes to fill a Pro fessor’s chair in the college.

He was at tending the Conference at Inde pendence, and came over to Mon mouth to deliver a message from Mrs. F. McCollough, of Denver, a close reader of the H erald . Mrs. McCollough is a Methodist sister, but specially requested her friend to make a personal visit to our office and in her behalf to congratu late us on our work, and extend to us her best wishes for the H erald and our future success.

As Mr. Beecher was billed for a lecture in New Tacoma on Tuesday even ing, Aug. 28th, we made it con venient to be in the city on that occasion and to hear him. Our opinion of Mr. Beecher and his lecturing on this coast is pretty well understood by our readers from what we have already writ ten. It is only necessary for us to further remark that we had the distinguished honor (!) of putting up at th« same hotel where Mr,
