THE'liOODYS.
Portland, Ob., Jan, 4th, 198?.
Editor! Democrat :
The year Is dosed, and our religions re
vival hat closed. Since Mr. Mood left a
greater degree o! quiet reigns. It has been
a season of interest and much good has
been done. From different standpoints
this religious wake-up is viewed. A lad
who was In attendance often.remarked'that
there were no solid words or acts of charity
manifested for the destitute. The congre
gation was wealthy and Influential In gen
eral, while there were many women who
had not a calico dress suitable In which to
appear at these meetings. This covered
the question of bread. If the evangelist
preached to these people to make them
more attentive to actual wants of the poor,
old and young, and to look after those of
TOUth surrounded with temptations, this
lady would have more respect for his work.
But why criticise when the fact Is on the
face of the fashionable world that he who
hath not a dollar hath no soul to save. Do
ing of charity is pure religion. Talking
about religion, filling up tabernacles for
worship, and looking out for self, to see that
all the good things are at hand, to make
self fat and warm, come short of religious
obligation. It is the poor and needy who
should have our reHijJon in substantial
gifts. If we are deceived in this ths Lord
is not The evangelist who goes into the
highways and byways to find those who,
lacking in wealth and luiury.but who need
spiritual comfort, is the messenger of Him
who had nowhere to lay his head, but who
was the only perfect type of a christian.
Great good will come from this work even
if it was confined to those having all thai
heart can wish. The conversion of Judge
Williams is attributed by some to these
meetings, but the prevailing opinion and,
no doubt, true one, is,that he was prepared
for this confession by his wife, who has the
credit of being a firm believer and active
in what is called christian science. This
be as it may the conversion was timely.
For a man of over sixty years of age who
had'Tiever bowed the knee to God or man,"
may be pardoned for such expressions of
opinion of his countrymen in the South as
he has made, for they were the utterances
of a heart of stone, one that had never felt
the generous pulsations of a christian spirit.
And in charity he is to be pitied, and may
that Savior, whom he thinks ne has found,
show him the folly, not to say shame, that
has marked his bearing towards those who
are not willing to be governed by a race
with rare exceptions, whose prejudice,
ignorance and superstition would make
them demons had they power over white
people. The Judge himself were he located
among them would not tolerate this view
about which he delights to harangue the
people to show his party feality, for one
moment. If his eyes and heart are open
may his friends keep the devil from clos
ing them, a thing which we fear the Judge
is too weak to do himself, as his future po
litical crusades may prove. There are
others of hearts of store of the same party
needing conversion, prominent in party
meanness, in vindictlveness,and in social
uncharitableness. Can the Lord reach
them ? There is another Moody who is
creating as much dry talk in the political
arena as the evangelist has caused in his
circle. He wants to convert Dolph and
take him out of politics. But Dolph is
obdurate. The excitement is low but ris
ing.and if Dolph's friends arc not generals
the battle will favor his rival, who is en
trenched in more individual pits than is
generally supposed. Being party within
partv the conflict will be more intense and
less tespectful than if with a common ene
my. It will be bitter in the mouths of those
who have no sweet morsels for a rival party
brother. And the Dolph men will be slow
in showing the majority which they have
for the reason that their favorite should not
have a walk over lest he would forget the
artizans that made him Senator. This as
surance may rest too long and the anti
Dolph gopher hills showing the mischiev
ous dlspoltlon of the animal may come up
in the night with astonhing rapidity to
make the battle formidable. Herman is
said to have tome strength, but the idea of
being a candidate seems a joke, a naked one
at that. Ills friends will support Dolph if
the chief is consulted. There is enough in
this to give Dolph and friends great con
cern. It is an open secret that Moody is
not in accord with the brains of the circus.
He has always shown a bawky disposition,
and this is what prevented him from run.
nlng for Governor a second time, and it
may prevent him from being Senator,
wh-ther Dolph Is elected or not. And
here Is where republicans show superiority
over democrats by having a strong head
and a solid organization, while democrats
have no head or organized body for effec
tive work, llencethelr blunders, lfthey
succeed it Is a blunder. But for patience
under difficulties no christian can surpass
them, in fact their own christian fortitude
has been the leading wonder of their ad
verarles for years. The candidate to be
feared, and an unfortunate one for the na
tion if successful, is Judge Williams. He
may if the other factions destroy them
selves, be the horse.and heaven knows -the
color of it Is dark enough. May this calam
ity never befall the state. There are two
candidates more deserving than any we
have mentioned, one of whom resides In
Benton county and the other in Jackson,
but there Is no figton nsiux for them
though they have earned It, Mr. George
Is not without hope, though the accident
may come nearer to him than indications
now favor. Time will. soon settle matters.
Mr. Simon will be President of the Senate,
and this does not signify but a Portlander
will be Speaker. If it is not too much of
a load to carry with a Portland U. S
Senator to elect this will all come to pass.
V.'e await returns.

NEW 11EADKK9.
It is said that the County School Superinten'
dents have adopted Barnes Readers instead of
the present series of readers now in use, and
that the publishers of the new books have agreed
to exchange their books for the ones now in use
so that so far as the readers are concerned it
will cost the people nothing to make the change,
in fact the people will be mnch the gainers if
the new books are superior to the old ones as is
claimed, for they will get a new book for an
old one. We think the same liberal terms were
not secured with reference to arithmetics and
we fear they are really not so good as the old
ones judging from what we have heard of them.
We have seen neither the reader nor the
arithmetics.
