Humble love, and not proud science,
keeps the door of Young.
Ifmen are so wicked with religion, what
would they be without it?-FFanklia.
Only let us have faith in God, and we
shall not lack the means of doing good
Canon Fleming.
"a ray of sunshine is not soiled by shin
ing into rat-hole; but it spoils the rat
hole "-BiShop Fololer.
They that would be safe have need to be
suspicious of the tempter The garrison
that sounds parley is not far from being
surrendered.
God loves beauty and because He loves
it, He has made everything beautiful and
because we are like God, we love the beau
tiful, and participate in the happiness OF
Cod WincheH.
It does US good TO admire all beautiful
things, for all beauty speaks of God-of God
in Christ but keep your highest admira-
ton for Him alone from whom all beauty
came.-ReU. r. Tuck.
! would cut off my own head if it had
nothing better in it than wit, and tear out
my own heart if it had no better disposition
than to love only myself and laugh at all
my neighboTs.-Pope.

God is love, and the mightiest, because the
most human, principle in the heart of man
is faith. Love is heaven; faith is that
which appropriates heaven.
The Bible writes hope over the darkest
fields of life. Man, above all things, needs
hope, and the Bible is the charter of hope,
the message OF the God of Revelation, who
alone is the God of hope.-CdnOn WeSteott.
Let us accept different forms of religion
among men, as we accept different Ian
guages, wherein there is still but one hu-
man nature expressed, Every genius has
most power in his own language, and every
heart in its own religion.-Richter.
As life moves on, and our comrades and
our leaders drop ON this side and on that,
and we look back through the mist of years
on those whose friendship or whose society
long since set its mark on our own soils,
how thankful do we recall those whose
spontaneous and half-unconscious utter
ances once rebuked it may be, or guided or
encouraged or inspired US; planted in our
souls the germs of thought or the seeds OF
action.-Dean Bradley.
The worst kind of religion is no religion
at all and these men living in ease and
luxury, INDUCING themselves in the amuse-
ment of going without religion, may be
thankful that they live in lands where the
Gospel they neglect has tanned the beastli-
ness and ferocity of men who, but for Chris
tianity, might long ago have eaten their
carcasses like the South Sea Islanders, or
cut off their heads ard tanned their hides
like the monsters of the French revolution.
When the microscopic search ofskepticism,
which has hunted the heavens and sounded
the seas to disprove the existence of Crea-
tor, has turned its attention to human So
ciety, and has found place in this planet
where a decent man can live in decency,
comfort and security, supporting and edu-
eating his children unspoiled and unpol-
luted place where age is reverenced,
infancy respected, manhood respected,
womanhood honored and human life held
in due regard when skeptics can find such
a place ten miles square, on this globe,
where the gospel of Christ has not gone and
cleared the way, and laid the foundations,
and made decency and security possible, ii
will then be in order for the skeptical liter
att to move thither, and then ventilate their
views. But so long as those very men are
dependent upon the religion which they
discard for every privilege they enjoy, they
may well hesitate q little before they seek
to rob the Christian Of his faith in that Sa-
Vior who alone has given to man that hope
of life eternal which makes life tolerable
and society possible, and robs death of its
terrors and the grave of its gloom.-JanleS
