Truly who shall say that the sensational
high pressure STYLES Of religion are not
already bringing forth frightful harvests
in our churches and pulpits. The worst,
most mischievous, most virulent posi-
bic heresy is the divorcing Of piety and

Miscellaneous
1t is one of the principles OF the Unit
ed Presbyterian church OF Scotland not
TO accept money for sacred uses from
unclean hands. They decline to take
for God, and, as His agent or minister,
money that, as far as they can see, has
not been honestly made. When the
great Glasgow bank failure took place
here, some of the directors were men,
bers of the United Presbyterian congre-
cations of the city, and one or more OF
them were large givers-almost thesup-
port, | am told, of their particular
churches. When, by the judgment Of
civil courts, they were declared 10 have
been guilty of systematic fraud for some
years back, their liberal donations were
all returned 10 them, although it more
than crippled the congregations who did
il. This fact was told me not by any Of
themselves, but by learned clergyman
OF the established church of Scotland,
who bore honorable testimony TO their
devotion to principle, and their own pro-
fession.-GlGsgor Letter.
THESE are the rules | have always ac-
cepted: First, labor; nothing can be
had for nothing; whatever a man
achieves, he must pay for; and no favor
of fortune can absolye him from his du-
ty. Secondly, patience and iorbearance,
which are simply dependent on the slow
Justice of time. Thirdly, and most i'm
portant. faith. Unless man believe in
something far higher than himself some
thing infinitely purer and grand than
he can ever become-unless he has an
instinct of an order beyond his dreams,
OF laws. beyond his comprehension, of
beauty and goodness and justice beside
which his own ideals are, dark, he will
fail in every lOftier form OF ambition,
and ought to fail.-Bdydrd Taylor.
physical sins require physical RENE
dies. Sins of the appetite and the pas
sions can no more be cured by mere BIZ
BILE reading and prayer than sins OF the
affections by blue pill. They involve
not only ethics, but dietetiCs. II a man
says, Il resist the infirmity OF my flesh
my appetite or my passions-but ev-
cry now and then am overcome and my
prayers are without result, his first
step toward reform must be hygienic;
bathing, more exercise, less food or more
food, or a different kind OF food. -

A church without creed, said Rev.
F. n. Peloubet at the Worcester Sab
bath school convention, last week, is
like a man without a backbone. He
doesn't need to show il all the time, but
it must be there.
