be a sycophant Reputation is not to be
| sacrificed TO opinion. Opinion is breath,
| and reputation is life. Public opinion is
as tickle as the wind and transient as
| tender flOwer.-Rev. j. z. Newman, MethO-
| dist, Brooklyn.
| THE KINGDOM OF LOVE.
Gods kingdom on earth is kingdom OF
| love, and he Onl Is prepared TO be happy,
| free and faithful subject thereof who
| coDceives this to be its nature and Is dra VII
| into it by this fact. Love makes the other
wise difficult duties Of the Christian life
easy and delightful.-Rev. T. c. Warner,
Methodist, Knoxville.
| PRAYER
| Prayer Is q coming TO God In lower
stages OF religious life it is the outpouriDg
| of feeling. In the next higher stages 1t
| takes on the meditative quality. Still
| higher it has the element OF devotional
| culture To the Christian it is all these,
| and. in addition, personal communion with
| God.-Rev. W. ID. williams, Congregational
| ist, San Francisco.
PUNISHMENT.
We must be willing TO suffer all the.
| penalties God sends upon us when we do
| wrong because we deserve them For
| giveness is not the remission OF deserved
| punishment Why should it be? If the
punishment bc strictly just-and 1t must
| he, because il is from God-why should it
| not be inflictcdc-Rev II L. ycazey, Uni
versalist, Atlanta.
