RELIGIOUS READING.
REALITY or LIFE.

The reality Of life consists in God. nor can
any one lind any reality In his life until he
has found God. And the sentimental life is
one OF the chief obstacles to real life. Illu-
sions about self aud the )rld and our rela-
tion to II are constantly n tive In turning us
from God and preventing us from really liv-
ing in Him. We often know sentimentality
when we see tin other people. But n
definition !s difficult. We would probably
all agree TO this sentimentalst Is ono
who recognizes the need OF forming right
and real relations TO truth or man or God
In morality the sentimen,alist weeps
over the novel or the play
aud has neither help nor sympathy
for the want and sorrow next door. In
politics he makes or applauds speeches Of
patriotic devotion aud subscrihes to corrupt
i've funds. or tells lies about his antagonists
TO get his party into power. In religion the
sontimcntalist goes to church because he
likes the delivery or the style of his fayortc
preacher, listens with moisteued eyes while
the new soloist sings LEAD. Kindly ight' -
likes to think about God when the shadow
OF trouble or fear falls over him. and then
calmly and continuously ucglccts every duty
Of rcligion--ncver makes the slightest sacri.
flee for his church or the smallest real effort
TO follow tho precepts of Christ in his daily
liic.-Rov. Paul Van Dyke.
