Civilization has changed the new world from a wilderness inhabited bv roving bands of savages to a land of homes and refinement. Just as civilization overcame the evils of savagery the Kingdom of God is ordained to remedy the faults of civilizatiou. One of the peculiar incidents ac- cured when Christ, the author of the Kingdom of God, was born on tlie wav to taxation, one of the great evils of civilization. Crime aud insanity are civil dis ci ses, the leading cause of taxation. Men who subscribe to the soverign will of God and thereby become sub jects of God’s kingdom,I have no need of asylums of prisons Civili zation have outlived its useful ness, it has answered its purpose, and should be laid by for the more important kingdom of God. The kingdom of God, unlike churches, has always been a unit It has never been divided or itn- proved upon or revised. It ia the only thing that has a piomise in the Bible, and the only thing Christ ever preached, or ever authorized anyone else to preach. There iBbut one gospel and that is tbe gospel of the kingdom of God. Churches are a part of civilization and while the gates of hell does not prevail against them, there ia no good reason why they should not be replaced by the kingdom of God. My grand parents had large faaiiliee, nearly thirty children in all on both my father*sand mother's side. Their children had from five to seven. My generation have from one to two, at the same ratio we. will be exterminated by the next generation, and what is true in my case is true with the great mass of American who can trace back three and four generations. Civilization to us means to get off the earth. Thé kingdom of God is the only- thing that can remedy defeats of civilization. J. C. GOVE. There used to be a mania—and it •till has a hold in some sections— for farmers to increase their farm possessions in spite of their ina bility to properly use the same. They kept adding to their number of acres until finally “land poor” was the result. It is different, to a great extend, to-day. The aim now ia, or should be, to get all that is possible out of a email territory. Little farms, well tilled, have proved to be more profitable than acres with only half treatment.

MAY U, 1011 No Color In th» Dark. In tbe dark there is no such a thing as color. Tbe reddest dress is Just tbe same color as a pure white tableclotb when both are placed in a dark closet, if you would understand this assume tbe presence of a light wave motion In tbe ether. The color of light depends upon tbe length of these waves. Tbe light waves producing tbe colors in tbe blue end of tbe spectrum are very short compared with those that pro duce the colors near tbe red end. Tbe light source that we know as red given off only waves of a length to produce that particular color. A body appears red because its surface absorbs all tbe other waves and reflects the red waves back Into tbe eye. If an attempt is made to light a blue body with red light It will fall, because tbe blue body Is capable of reflecting only tbe short waves producing tbe blue, and since the red source produces none of these there will be no reflection and the body will appear black. A thing looks black when It is capable Of absorbing all tbe colors at once.—St. Louis Republic. Improving th» Book of Job. i remember the relief with which, after long feellug tbe sway of Frank lin's Imperturbable common sense, 1 came upon a project of bls for a new version of tbe book of Job to replace the old version, tbe style of which, says Franklin, baa become obsolete aud hence less agreeable. “I give,” he continues, "a few verses which may serve as a sample of the kind of ver sion I would recommend.” We all recollect tbe famous verse In our translation, “Then Satan answered tbe Lord and said. Doth Job fear God for naught?” Franklin makes this, "Does your majesty Imagine that Job's good conduct is the effect of mere per sonal attachment and affection?" 1 well remember bow, when I flrat read that. 1 drew a deep breath of re lief and said to myself, “After all, there is a stretch of humanity beyond Franklin's victorious good sense.”— Matthew Arnold's "Culture and An archy.” The Fast Steamer GOLDEN GATE Sailing Days for of CDflY fDonth FOR TILLAMOOK, BAY CITY, GARIBALDI HOBSON VILLE, And all points Sail from Port- Tand.
