sential to right living.-Rev. J. r..

from the post where providence placed
him. or a vessel on the high seas OF
eternity without proper clearance pa
pers from any port of time.-Rev. e. S.

and quiet in the midst Of threatened
disaster.-Rev. f. T. Curnick, Method.
list, Lowell. Mass.

The Coming of Christ.-Christ viii
rome. The belief in Il hereafter and in

Lord is not only the secret of joy, but Of
holy living. The sense of a personal i'm
mortality is the key to personal right
eousness.-Rev. Adam Chambers, Bap-
fist, Philadelphia.
Mothers LOve.-The power of l.
mothers love II be OverStated. 1t
is as a guardian angel to the boy when
far from home and loved ones. For all
that makes u country great and good
we are largely indebted to Christian
mothers.
Justice and Mercy.-Justice ana
mercy in our dealings with n an
other, man to man, are near together
in the circle Of life's actions. Where
one leaves off the other begins, but the

byterian. San Francisco.
The Personal Devil.-There is a per
sonal devil, who is the ~tireless enemy of
all that is good. If you will believe this
with your heart. it will help you on the
one hand almost as much as your faith
in a personal God helps you on the
other.-Rev. T. G. Warner, Methodist,
Knoxville.
Political Activity.-Man owes to the
State active participation in practical
political affairs. To be a political indif-
f%erentist is to be a political criminal, In
this country every maj should be poll
tician. More, not fewer, politicians is
the demand of the age.-Rev. George
Il. Reed, Methodist, Carlisle, Pa.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES is the great
underlined principle Of business. an
when confidence is shaken you must
expect depression in business. WHAT
we get from God is through confidence
in Him. Abraham showed his conf
dence when he started to offer up his
son.-Rev. w. r. Lawton, Presbyterian,
indianapolis.
Religious Values.-It is not what the
church costs in dollars and cents, but
it is what it costs in devotion and sacri-
flee, that makes it precious in Gods
sight. 1t represents all that Christ calls
blessed. 1t represents, everything that
it should-faith, hope, charity, and
gratitude.-Rev. d. I. McDermot1,
Catholic, Philadelphia.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS is the result OF
harmony with our environments. Out
of water fish die, the lark would per
ish in the ocean the ignorant would
be unhappy amid the learned and the
sinner miserable in heaven because in
each case they would be out Of harmony
with their environments.-Rev. J. r
Westwood, Methodist, Philadelphia.
Charity.-Christian charity is the love
which one human being feels for an.
other when he recognizes him as a fel-
low-pilgrim on earth, a creature OF
Gods, and because he is a creature OF
God he loves him. Charity is the love
of God animating the human heart and
binding together all Of his creatures
