A moment' pause; then "All right

Major Melville hail Mnsped hands on

In consultation.
"You've got I.nngdon with yon," were
almost the first wcili Melvlllo spoke.
"I knew Ihe voice at once."

They'ro lirlng rock at the bridge now.
D'you hear 'em? And I've got to get

Ten minutes of counsel followed. The
veteran major was for leading his men
straight across on top of the iron cars.
They could not step from girder to gir

reasons besides this that caused Mel

Others still were clustered a few ) arils
west of the bridge, and the gleam of
pick and shovel could be faintly seen.
"Cutting out tinder the track!" said
Channing between his set teeth. "1
expected that. Itut we'll show 'em!"
Another quarter of an hour of silent
preparation; then, panting a little from
Ihe exertion of the clluih, two of the
four companies were lined up along the
bin IT facing the position of the striker
across the gulch. The other two, un
der command of the major, knelt In
the darkness on both sides of Ihe track
nml close in the bridge. The engine,
detached from the passenger car, ran
quickly forward and nmid shouts of
excitement not uninlngled with warn

Then nrose yells of glee, defiance and
delight from the dense groups of
tramps nni striker on the northern

CHAPTER VII.
Late that wintry night there steamed
Into r.rcntwood a train laden with IHK)
state soldiery, who In silent array left
the cars somewhere In the suburb,
thereby disappointing a big throng
awaiting them nt the station, marched
rapidly under experienced guides to
the armory of the local company, gave
the mob guardians thereof the alterna
tive of surrendering o,t once or being
blown Into Hinders In less than five
minutes, whereupon, as described In
the local press, "there was a squealing
and a scattering." Thence they bore
the recaptured arms lo the Itlg Horn

f A paper read hy Mrs. lloge, of Forest
l.ro.e, lieiurs Ihe Willamette Association
i uiniriyational Churches, held at llills
bnro, April M U.J
The church la any cnmuiuuily
stands for purity nf life, fur right
eousncs.", fur IntelliROiiCP, for good
morals and for the highest civiliza
tion. Clcsl lias plaeoil all these jew.
els, and more, in the keeping of his
church. For what purpose? Evi
dently, not a a man puis his money,
or a woman her diamond.-, in a vault
merely for safely. No. We recall
the parable of the pounds, where it is
taid, "a certain nobleman went Into
a far country, to receive for himself
a kingdom and to return. Anil he
called his ten servants and delivered
them ten pouuds, ami said, occupy
till I come." And you remember
Ihe rewards of those servant who
made pood usu of their trust and the
DoiiileinnHlion of him who buried
his ireHsnre in h iiipkie. Those ser-
vnnl whose m nn.ls hud gained nth
er pounds wer" trade ruler over
many cities. Does I his not illustrate
what Christ expects his church to do
With bis gifl--'.'
It is possible) fur a church 1 1 ex
ist, something like a I'lmn, shut up
iu lis kIu II of selfish excluslveness,
Willi no visible fiilluencn fiver the
surrounding community; but it is Us
duty and privilege to be like a tree
plKiiiid ivy Ihe. river, wlowo leaves
shall be for the healing of Ihe na
(ions and a shelter, in Ihe lime of
storm.
The church Ihcn, owes the com
tiiinity all II has received from the
Master of.mitieriul prosperity, Intel
h dual excellence or moral worth
lie sniil . "I fume that ye might have
life and have it more abundantly."
The lime is past when the concep
tion of what tho church owes the
world was limited to Ihe preaching
of cree ds, or ti selling purely spirit
ual truth. We are living in a practi
cal, uork-a-iUy world, and thought
ful men and women have felt that
practical melbods must be employed
and every sido of human nature sp.
pi-ah d to, In order lo draw men to
Jesus Christ. It should any with
Paul, "I am willing to be all things
to nil men, if by any means I might
win aome."
Wherever a church is located we
should expect lo aeo clcuti street-,
beautiful law ns, euteiprisiDg citizens.
The children should Ik taught to
love (lowers and to cultivato them;'
lo lie industrious and Independent,
to lie liberal and. public-spirited
Christianity ii not tho enemy of
lieauty or material prosperity, but
should he their patron. Theforeigu
missionary Is quicker to see this than
we of this land. They have learned
that they can do but little to redeem
Iho Hindu or Chinese, from his Idols,
ui til environments are changed, and
one of Ihe things first niiservrdin the
native convert Is the improved con
dition of his borne, sweetness where
once Ihero was Tilth, 11 iwers where
no flowers bt fore had grown and
personal cleanliness where repulsive
disease had held away. A Christian
U distinguished from his heathen
neighbor, as much by the apear
ance of his home and family as by
his honesty. Much of the founda
tion mission work In our cities, Is
along this line.
Again, ought not the church to be
the center of intellectual life in It
commtinitj? While certain classes
are trying to make our scIkhiI and
colleges, godless institutions where
no religious teaching is allowed and
would fain prohibit the reading of
the Hible, Christians should not ail
content while Ihe school life and
thought of their boys and girls, are
given over to skepticism and doubt.
If our country is to continue to I) a
Christian land, Christian teachers
must be employed and Christian
thought permeate our institutions of
learning. Visit the schools often,
make your vote count and other.
isw show your interest. Still other
provision for Ihe intellectual life
should he made by placing good
htNika and periodicals within the
reach of the aopb'. Do not hesitate
lo loan your own treasured volume
occasionally, or Invite some young;
man or woman into your library
lie their frieud aud advise as t the
best book to buy, but do not con Hue
them to theological treatises or reli
gious tracts. It might be practicable
in tome localities, to establish read
ing rooms with carefully selected
booki and magazine. Make it at
tractive with a few pictures, games,
etc. Be sure that a heart v welcome
la given the homesick young man or
lonely girl who perhaps have no
other place to 8md an evening. If
the church sustained more of such
places might have fewer battles lo
Ugh' with the saloon.
Women's club have often been
criticized aa drawing ftom the
church the time and interest Hint
ought lo tie given to spiritual things,
but might It not be the part of wisdom
to appropriate the club And use It us
a mean of further educating and do
veloplng the Intellectual aud Hocitil
life of the town. Do not confine it
lo women or church members nor
allow It to degenerate into a "set" or
clique. It might be uuder the man
agement nt the pastor or aome other
person or versons of acknowledged
worth and devoted to the study of
topics, not demanding the highest
culture or widest reading, for that
would bar many a busy man or!
woman lhat might otherwise receive
much benefit from such a course.
Admitting the di faculties in tho way
I alill believe such circle would tie
very helpful and socially delightful.
. What does Ihe church owe the
community la the line of good mor
ah? Not long since I heard Dr.
Wise, Ihe learned Jewish R.ibbi, say
that Israel was the first peoplo to
leach lhat religion ami morals go
hand In band. A strange statement
to those of us who have al ay Join
ed them In our thought, yet one
need not look long or far, even now,
to see that there aro many religions
aud many person lhat separate them
entirely, In practice If not In theory.
The church owes to the world, first,
that the standards of morality
which Jesus himself established,
should 1m) kept. The constant ten
dency of modern life is lo lower our
ideals. The too common dishonest
practice in business, the trickery in
polities, the saloon on every corner
have so blunted our consciences and
dulled our vision, that Christians as
well as others, ueed to have the
Hible standards of right living and
high thinking, kept constantly be
fore them. More sermons -on the
mount should be preached, with the
refrain; "Ye have beard it saidbut
I say it unto yon."
Then, what can lie done to reduce
the evils we see around us? Shall
the problem of the saloon lie delega
ed to temperance societies lo solve?
Shall the government of our cities
aud towns be left in the hands of
self-seeking politicians? Khali our
boys and girls be allowed to learn all
the vice of the si reels, unchecked?
I believe Ihe church should not so
shirk her duty. To apply the teach.
Ings of Christ In social and moral life
is the church's one concern. She
should be foremost id every effort to
drive out iniquity and immorality
of every kind. She should create a
healthy public sentiment in favor, of
the holiest administration of local
government and sustain those whose
aim it ia lo he true to the best Inter
est of the people. ,
A certain mayor of the city 1n
which I formerly lives), being a con
scientious, Christian man, tried, on
coming inlo ofilce, to enforce the
Sunday dialing law against the sa
loons, and the shutting up nf the
gambling houses. The general sen
timent of the public seemed to be,
"you cannot do it; It is no use to
try; others have essayed the same
thing and failed." Uut he persisted
for some months with indifferent
success, f inally he became wearyn
of the abuse of the one side ami the
silence of the other and he apiealed
to the Christians of the city. He
said he wished to know whether
they wanted the laws enforced or
mil; so far Ihey had shown eo Inter
est in the matter; if he was sustain
ed by the churches he would contln-
uo his course. This aroused some of
Ihe churches, and they sent In res.
olutlons of sympathy and promises
ol support, which strengthened his
faltering courage and enabled him In
continue bis policy with good re
sults. This only Illustrates what in
fluence the church really could ex
ert if continued In a systematic, and
persistent manner.
President William Dewitt Hyde,
of Ilowdoin College, says:
"The besetting sin of ministers,
the ever present pitfall of Ihe church,
la mysticism with it somnolent re
frain, 'goodbye proud world, I'm
goiu lii.iuo' the to siij, that an
liiog as a lew elect haIiiH are on good
terms with Uisl and with each other,
makes little i ll'ort to preveut the reat
of the world with it society, politics,
from going straight to the devil."
This tin Mul 1 feel sure is passing
away and Ihe church will more and
more rise to her great privilege of
giving to the comtnuuity all she has,
aud all she Is the almoner of Uod's
bun ud less love.
It shall be through her efforts that
the desert ahull blossom a the rose,
and that righteousness shall cover
the earth, as the waters cover the
sea. v .
