| am not sure of the present hour | am
sure | have nothing to do with anything

The simplest Christian, if indeed a
Christian, knows more than the most ac-
complished irreligious philosopher Ter
tullian.
Emotion is the bud, not the flower; and
never is it of value until 1t expands into u
flower. Every religious sentiment, every
act Of devotion, which does not produce
corresponding elevation of life, is worse
than useless; it is absolutely pernicious,
because it ministers to self-deception and
tends to lower the tone OF personal morals
/ Murray.
The single act of man which can always
obtain its object is the accomplishment of
duty. The issue of ali other resolutions
depends on accidents, with which even
prudence can do nothing. The greatest
proportion Of men never obtain that which
they most strongly desire, and property,
even if they attain it, comes to them often
in an unexpected way Madam de Stael.
The Chicago Interior says: There are
people in every congregation who viii go
to church and enjoy a fine sermon and all
the physical comforts provided for them
and toss dime into the contribution box
as a gratuity 10 the church They do not
realize that they are themselves the men,
dicants taking for next to nothing what
other people have to pay for them. 1t
costs money for the minister to live, and
costs money to build and maintain pleas
ant place Of worship. There is nothing
that more needs emphasizing than the fact
that there are business equities and rights
in the work of maintaining public worship.
John Fiske's address of last summer be-
fore the Concord School of Philosophy,
now published in an expanded form under
the title The Destiny OF Man Viewed in
the Light of His Origin" is called by the
Evangelist the last and gros8est develop
ment of what Carlyle aptly called the
gospel Of dirt" The Eranqeijst further
remarks: " If the Concord School of Phil
osophy were able to keep straight faces
while listening to this address, its members
must indeed have been in high degree I'M
