LABOR AND THE CHURCH.

Christ healed the sick OF the laboring
classes, cast out their devils, cured their
fevers, bade away their leprosies and pal
sizes, restored their lost and raised their
dead. Since the time of Christ every kind
of favorable manifes tation of his gospel to
the labo-ing classes has been on the in
crease. That gospel would by now have
filled the whole earth with it's manifesto
tions in the laborer's behalf but for the
distractions that have been cast in its way.
These hindrances are the reason these
classes have not long since reached their
enfranchisement. Peter surmounted such
obstacles; so did Luther and Wesley; so
must we.-Rev. Charles ConkIing, Cleve-

DEATH.

The man Of millions suffers pain, sick-
ness, death, as surely as the poorest, and
there is no satisfaction in rich mans
dying. The saddest death l ever saw was
of wealthy man. What an expression of
sorrow he gave at leaving this earth. In
sickness and probable death vanish all the
material and visionary ioys.-Rev. t. II.
Hogerty, Methodist, at Louis vile, KY.
The San Francisco call., 1895-10-07
MONEY.MAklNG.

Financial success is often slippery
place. How many a man grows poorer in
heart while he grows richer in gold. There
are many whose wealth stands for integ-
rity, moral excellence, social excellence.
But the fever of money-making is danger
ous-the conflict between money-making
and morality. Anything is right that sue
ceeds. What follows is known too we'll
has been seen too frequently.-Rev. George
Cooper, Baptist, Richmond, Va.
The San Francisco call., 1895-10-07
CONFESSION.

Confession has been and is great bless
Ing. 1t is the only means by which certain
crimes can be stopped. Many maiden
and young man, already dangerously near
the precipice, have been saved from de-
plorable fall by the timely use of con-
fession, and many who had unfortunately
fallen were held up on their slippery path
by this same remedy.-Rev. Father We'll
bers, Catholic, Richmond, Va.
The San Francisco call., 1895-10-07
DOGMA.

The real meaning of dogma is little un.
derstood nowadays. What Christ himself
says through inspired writer's is not dog
ma. What man says only can be fairly re-
garded as such. Every person should
know exactly what he believes in religious
matters. and then, if sure he is right, stick
to it.-Rev. DR.. Hopkins, Presby terian,
Lockport N Y
The San Francisco call., 1895-10-07
GOOD BOOKS.

Let US have good books in the home.
Let US read and discuss them there. Buy
good books at the cost of something else.
Read them as Coleridge directs, forcing
yourself to reflect on what you read. Read
with definite end in view. Let us
have our reading make us acquained
with a wide range of subjects to
profit by the conversation of intelligent
persons of different callings and various
intellectual gifts and acquisitions-Rev
}: b. Clark, Congregationalist, Brooklyn,
The San Francisco call., 1895-10-07
BOOKS.

In the selection of books for the children
both the reading matter and the pictures
should receive careful attention. Exercise
care in the choice of books which you
bring into the home. Books are compan-
ions. They sit by your fireside. They eat
with you. They commune with vou.-Rev.
]. w. Bailey, Congregationalist, Lock
port, n Y.

THE IDEAL MAN.

Christ is the example for humanity-the
one and only perfect man. He is the per-
feet ideal of every pure soul. Every human
being has some ideal, and the nature of the
ideal will determine the character. The
tendency of human nature is constantly
downward, and the only hope for lost
world is perfect moral ideal.-Rev. w. G..
Partridge, Baptist, Scranton, Pa.
The San Francisco call., 1895-10-07
THE NEW WOMAN.

This idea of the new woman" is but
fad. Thank God it will die natural
death. 1t ought to die Horrible death. 1t
is contrary to the laws of nature and
womanhood. The proper sphere will
again come to woman.-Rev. A. w.
Holder, Baptist, New York City.
The San Francisco call., 1895-10-07
SIN is SUICIDAL.

The mission of religion is not to save
people from hell, but to save them from
their sins. All guilt is suicidal. Sin is its
own worst punishment, for it involves the
death OF all that is noblest and of greatest
worth in life. The choice of sin is the
souls judgment against itself-the delib-
crate choosing of the darkness rather than
The San Francisco call., 1895-10-07
MISSIONARY WORK.

Shiploads of Bibles sent to Africa will
not enlighten the darkest continent, but
one Andrew Murray with the word of God
in his heart can kindle light that shines
back again across the sea.-Rey. A. a.
Cameron, Baptist, BROOKLYN, n. Y.
The San Francisco call., 1895-10-07
MISSION OF THE CHURCH.

The mission of the church is, in the first
place, to save men. Christ taught man
the perfect way of life. 1t would be diff
cult to prevent a man who is saved him
self from saving others. A man must
show in his own person the power of God
to save.-Rev. J. w. Lee, Baptist, Phila-
delphia, Pa.
