An illustration may make this
clearer: Christ has shown us the ex-
ample of perfect self-sacrifce. If
we may venture the daring corollary
may we not infer from Christ's reve-
lation of Gods character that God
has love that would if necessary
lead him to forego all good for Him.
self that others might be blesti At
any rate Christ's revelation means to
me that righteousness consists in CIV
ing up good that others may have
good. Now is it not clear that soul
independent of any material body
may follow this example of Christ or
fail to follow it in any assignable de-
gree, except that human soul being
finite cannot do anything to an inf
mite degree. I can see no escape
from this except by assuming that
the soul is thing with no character
istic or propensities at all. Lord By
ron wrote of soul as
above all love, hope, hate or fear,
All passionless and pure"
which to me seems equivalent to no
soul at all. 1t is unintelligible as
Nirvana.
1t may seem tiresome to the ortho-
dox mind, this thought of never being
"made perfect in holiness" Doubt
less every finite being gets tired of
being limited, but unless we can suc-
coed in displacing the Infinite from
his throne we shall not escape our
necessary limitations. If he charge
his angels with folly, as l am told he
does, l cannot reasonably expect a
time when he cannot justly charge
me in the same way. AS Universal
list it is enough for me to know that
Gods projections are infinite and his
Fatherhood co-extensive with his Gre
alton. He is not only the universal
Father but the eternal Father. The
orthodox seem to hinge their hope of
future safety on the word everlasting
which they find in the Bible. Rev.Mr.
SAKE seems to hinge his on a prom
Used deliverance from material organs.
Would it not be better to rest our
hope on the assurance that God, the
all-wise educator, will in all worlds
as in this world, be faithful and just
to forgive us our sins?"

THE INSTITUTIONAL CHURCH.

The reports presented at the recent
annual meeting of the League of In
stitutional Churches In Philadelphia
shows that the principles and meth
DDS involved in the institutional"
movement are meeting with increas
ing favor among the most earnest,
determined and progressive religious
workers of the time. There is no
apparent reason why they should
not meet with the approval of all who
are concerned in the advancement of
practical and applied Christianity,
for this is the aim of the churches liz
this League.
Institutional churches have been
objected to in some quarters on the
ground that they are travelling out of
the true orbit of religion, and divert
ing to other ends means and energies
which should be used solely for the
conversion of souls and the enlarge
ment of the purely spiritual life of
men. 1t is no part of the business of
the Church, it is said, to amuse peo-
pie, young or old, nor to conduct loan
agencies and employment bureaus;
these things are worthy and excellent
in their way, but they are V%olly sec
ular and worldly in their aims, while
the kingdom of Christ which the
Church was set to establish among
men is not worldly but spiritual
kingdom. This is plausible reason
ing, and it weighs heavily with some
minds, but it is a reasoning which
will not bear the analytical test of
common sense. All the difficulty here
comes about through the mischiev-
Gus and utterly false distinctions
which have been made in days past
between things sacred and things
secular, between things belonging to
the spiritual life and those belonging
to the common life of men. In this
erroneous view it is as if Christianity
were designed only to be dipped
gently down here and there into the
current of human affairs, drawing

PROBLEMS FOR ATHEISTS.

If you meet with an atheist do not
let him entangle you into discus
sion of side issues. AS to many
points which he raises you must learn
to make the rabbits answer, II do not
know" But ask him these six ques-
tons:
First. Ask him where did matter
come from. Can dead thing create
itself?
Second. Ask him where did mo-
ton come from?
Third. Ask him where did life
come from, save from the finger tip
of Omnipotence.
Fourth. Ask him whence came the
exquisite order and design in nature.
If one told you that millions of
printers types should fortuitously
shape themselves into the divine
comedy of Dante or the plays of
Shakespeare, would you not think
him mailman?
Fifth. Ask him who gave you free
will.
Sixth. Ask him whence came con-
science.
He who says there is no God, in the
face of these questions, simply talks
stupendous nonsense.-C Canon Far

little circles about particular times,
places and seasons, setting off little
isolated areas of duty and service,
and saying if you are religious here
and there, it is no concern of yours
what is done outside of these times
and areas. 1t is precisely such teach
ing as this, practically applied, which
has brought reproach, confusion, and
disaster upon the Church in centuries
past, and opened a chasm between
it and the masses of Christendom
which will take many years if not
centuries to close up or bridge over.
In the new, truer and nobler concep-
ton of Christianity now fast gaining
sway, all honest work is sacred and
all right life divine. each of the
various functions which we fill" says
Canon Freemantle in a recent SER
mon, sis a priesthood; the service
which we render in them holy sacri-
fee; the materials which we employ
are sacraments and signs of the
spiritual life within" This is true
definition. In this view there is
nothing rightly pertaining to the life
of man here as we'll as hereafter,
whether it be the development of his
physical, moral or mental being, to
the rounding out of his character, to
the promotion of his rational enjoy
ments, in which the Church should

love, our service, and our generosity.
Only as we believe this, and prove
our faith by our works-as we shall

Mr.. Henry Russell, once so popular

stories it tells. Whatever strong situa
tions have in my books are not of my
creation, but are taken from the Bible.
'TheDeemster.' is the story OF the Prod
igal Son; The Bondman,' is the story of
Esau and Jacob, though in my version
sympathy attaches to Esau. The Scape-
goat is the story of Eli and his some,

Manxman' is the story of David and
Uriah. My nsw book also comes out of
the Bible, from a perfectly startling
source"
