He is not at heart a bad fellow. He usualiy
has a high sense of honor and hates shams;
But he lives for the most part a seihsh ana
self-centered life, isolated from the common
interests of humanity.-Rev. DR.. Hudson, Uni
tartan, Salt Lake City, Utah.
TRUE PHILOSOPHY.
Christianity is philosophy, true ,phlloso-
ply. A true philosophy is not only all triith,
great philosophers of the world have ever been
asking questions regarding life, death ana
eternity, but Christians know that the answers
to all these questions are found in the Bible
and by an auuaintance with Jesus Christ

DUTIES OF THE CHURCH.
In teaching the gospel of Jesus the church
has two duties, the extending of righteous
road to heaven. The other is to bring out
clearly to men the other great doctrine TO
Jesus, that of the fatherhood and brotherhood
OF men. The two go hand in hand "a and cannos car od
must accept the brotherhood.-Rev Arthur ii.
Grant, Newburg. n. Y.
RICH AND POOR.
The advantages of all classes, whether rich
or poor, both in the way of preparation Tor ana
success in the struggle for life are to all in
tents and purposes equal. The pOorshould not
hesitate to bear the burdens OF charitable
work and of the church, whether the rich, who
often are excuSable on account OF the numer-
Gus claims upon them, aid in this or not. Both
rich and poor are equal in the sight OF Cod
Bishop Millspaugh, Methodist, Burlington,

CITIZENSHIP.
An element of strength in a city is the culti-
vatlon OF good morals on the part of its inhabi-
tants. To make our city strong in q true sense
we must increase the moral structure OF our
men ana women. Fewer felons snd more phil
anthroplsts; fewer vagrants and more y1rtuous
men and women; smaller number OF men
VINO squander their wages; and larger num-
Der who comfortably feed clothe and shelter
wife and children with their earnings.-Rev.
Z. l. Cumick, Methodist, Lowell, Mass.
ADAM AND CHRIST.
The race has had two great heads-Adam and
Christ. Adam was the head OF the race accord
Ing to the flesh. Christ is the head of the race
according to the spirit. The former led the
race to its death. The latter leads the race into
in our march to the grave, so we must bear the
image OF the other in our march TO the gates of
mmortallty.-Rev. A. R. Moore. ST. Paul. Minn.
THE CITY OF CHURCHES
Brooklyn has long been known as the City of
Churches, but that fair name is being blotted
out. A new distillery is to be started here,
which is expected to add 100000 year TO
the income of the United States BROOKLYN
now has fifty-five breweries, thirty rectifiers
and two distilleries. We, in our republican
pride, call the Sultan on his throne a pig
England or somebody, when there is much
reason to think of ourselves as the pot and not
call the kettle black. The Armenians suffer,
but they have not suffered as much as our own
citizens by virtue of lawlessness plus drunken
ness.-Rey. Cortland Myers, Baptist, Brooklyn,
N. Y.
ENFORCING THE LAW.
A law dead is principle sighted. Principle
sighted is morality degenerating. Morality
degenerating is anarchy on the move Obso-
lete or unenforced laws in any code indicate
one or more of but three things-either the
legislation on that point was worthless, or the
people careless or the people SHINING. In
either case the result is the same. If the legis-
lation be faulty or worthless there is fostered a
spirit of dislike for or distrust in the power so
acting and the atmosphere becomes hazy with
uncertainty. If the people be careless there is
fostered spirit of disrespect for all law; and
the atmosphere becomes murky with impend-
ing storm. If the people are SHINING there is
fostered spirit OF hatred for law, and the at
mosphere becomes dense with crimes smiled
upon and frauds .indulged in.-Rev. w. ].
