One Of our religious journals pre-
SCENTS its testimony to the purifying
power OF tho Gospel in the following
editorial;
I'm the face Of failure in social re-
forms and financial schemes aud ed
ucntional appliances to remove diff
cultes ard hrirg perfect prosperity
to our country, there is q powerful
argument m favor of aggressive
church work. There il no remedy
for iniquity hu' the Righteousness Of
Christ, no salvation from sin but by

congresses and conventions and sym
posiums are able to state grievances
and voice the cry Of the oppressive,
and to keep well advertised tho evils
Of society and Of commerce. In the
midst Of all this, the Gospel is the
only remedy. Regeneration of heart
and honesty Of life are the help, and
every year emphasizes this fact"

All the force felt in the presence of
the Christian world is the aggregate
of what is in each single soul. The
organization creates no new motives,
renders no fresh grace aud begets no
spiritual force; it only brings these
together and combines them for result
which are not possible of attainment
to scattered effort.
The author OF Ten Nights in
Bar Room" has written a very excel
lent hook entitled advice to Young
Men" The book contains twenty
three chapters, which treat of II var
ity of topics calculated to incte
young men to the development of
true manhood and Offers many help.

build up character. The book may
be found in our city library, number
1901 In the Chapter on Religion
this strong statement is made THE
very life and true vital energy of so
ciety is religion" The author says:
There are three classes of men in s
the world--the civil man, the moral
man, and the spiritual man. The
civil man lives in mere external ODE

well-being is secured thereby; the
moral man not only regards the civil {
laws, but lives also IN obedience to
moral laws; while the spiritual man
obeys divine laws The first obeys
only the civil laws; the second obeys ,
the civil law as well as the moral law,
for both are involved in the latter;
but the spiritual man obeys both civil
and moral MS we'll "a divine laws, be.
cause the divine laws includes all the

that the spiritual or truly religious
man, must be moral as we'll as
civil man; that. in fact, he is the only
true man in society or he who regards
the good of the whole from an inter.
nal and spiritual ground. and not
