ACCUMULATION.
l believe the drift of population toward the
city to be a healthy sign. The accumulation
of people is not bad thing, then; neitneri is the
accumulation OF capital, of which so many
are afraid. The accumulation of capital means
the bringing OF money into the hands of those
competent to use it, of those who must use by
far the largest part OF it, in the nature of things
for the ultimate benefit of you and me, and IN
the great business affairs of the world.-Rev.
NJ j. Savage, Unitarian, Boston, Mass.
SCIENCE AND RELIGION.
The so-called conflict between science end
religion which we heard so much about
twenty years ego was the natural result of q
little learning by the masses of the people ana
d narrow minded opposition by some of the
clergy, who feared that because few of the
minor and non-essential beliefs OF the ortho-
dox theology were brushed away, the great
and fundamental truths of religion were in
danger; but time and deeper draught at the
spring of knowledge has settled all these ques-
tions.-Bishop B. F. Lee, African Methodist,
Tacoma, Wash.
Heroism is remarkable because it is rare.
Let man do his duty at some sacrifice and we
honor him, not because he does what we can
not do, but he does what we are not doing.
Some suppose that crisis is necessary to de-
velop heroism. 1t Is not so. The spirit OF the
hero manifests itself in his daily behavior. A
hero is true 10 his conscience every day and
hour under all circumstances. To be true to
ourselves, to our own thoughts and sentiment
and purposes, is true herOism.-Rev. c. Elwood
Nash, Uniyersalist, Brooklyn, y. Y.
REVELATION.
Let man know that he himself is part of
the divine process of revelation, that his
experiences in right-doing enlarging the
revelations of God concerning the eternal laws
of right, and his experiences with wrong aug
ment the volume of Gods revelation concern
ing evil, and he will see in the Bible itself a
chapter in his own life, and his life is only an
added page of the ever increasing volume of
revelation. Every human being is in this pro-
cess OF revelation and is an integral portion OF
it.-Rev. DR.. Rexfo1d, Universalist, Columbus,
Ohio
LAW ENFORCEMENT.
At the present time there are two things
which 1t seems to me ought TO be made para
mount. One is the enforcement OF law and the
other is the duty of the Christian church to
take higher stand on this question, more
positive stand. We need, first OF all, not more
legislation, but public sentiment that shall
demand the enforcement OF the laws now in
existence. One OF the most disgraceful things
in our American civilization to-day is the atti-
tude OF public officials toward |, the ne laws they

RELIGIOUS FREEDOM.
To modify our form of government would be
only TO throw US back into the common track
of other nations; il would be TO sap the founda-
ton of the Government, which would soon
totter and fall, and no other form of govern
ment so essentially requires virtue in the
people as republican one. 1t is universal
tolerance and the free exercise OF mans con-
science in religious matters, the two inalien-
able preTogatlveS OF every man, woman and
child, regardless OF color or previous condition
of European government, alone that can fl a
people for the institution of freedom as in
terpreted in our glorious country-Rabbi
Rosenthal (Hehrew) Spokane, Wash.
FAITH.
Our faith should not be founded on emotions
entirely, but on the in tellect. There should be
proper comprehension OF life and our respon-
sibility here We must be aware that reason
supports religion. When we see the reason
that there is in doing good and we do good
then we are placing ourselves in proper atti-
tude. When we do that which our conscience
tells us-when we accept Christ and try to De
like him-then we will realize fully the truth
of Christianity. But there should be com
plete surrender of ourselves. 1t is impossible
10 work in a field unless we are in it. The sur
render must be OF the whole man.-Bishop T.
q. Andrews, Methodist, New York City.
