Hold your t>ngue or speak the truth,
Busy hosts of age and youth I
Honor climbs by slow degree
Up the slope of infamy ;
Character is hard to grow,
What you say may lay it low ;
Then be careful, age and youth,
Hold your tongue or speak the truth.
Speak the truth or hold your tongue ;
Many bosoms have been wrung,
Many souls have suffered long,
Many hearts have gathered wrong,
From a whisper that defames
Purest lives and noblest names ;
Gossip should be gibbet-hung—
Speak the truth or hold your tongue.
i
Hold your tongue or speak the truth ;
Falsehood always is uncouth ;
Scandal in this mortal race
Is the mother of disgrace ;
blander, with her grimy hands
Touches now too many lands ;
Lies are born of minds uncouth,
Hold your tongue or speak the truth.
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.

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

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.

On Monday we received a call
from the Rev. W. W. Welsh, a
Methodist minister from Denver,
Colorado, who is traveling on this
coast for *his health. 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. Sister Me-
Having spent our allotted time
among the brethren, on taking our
leave of Puyallup and Sumner we
turned our face homeward. 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,
