of the sky.-Rev. n /. Rubinkam, Con-
gregationanst, Chicago III.

mility have been furnished by those whom
the world has accounted the wisest Of men

natl, Ohio.
ASSOCIATION.
Associations and associates are character
formative. Natives of mountainous regions
are OF a bold and rugged character. The

genial social and hospitahe. Children oi
Goddess parents generally grow into 6
Christless manhood. Rev. c. Is. Allen, Bap
tist, Helena, Mont.

destiny, to be worked out by the God o
beaven.-Rev. W. II. Pearce, Methodist

SCIENCE.
The popular antipathy toward aud drea
OF science is due to ignorance of wha
science really is. People are scared by TIL
words science and philosophy and Cor

two are absolutely necessary if the third
to be solid and enduring in its foundations

Wash.
THE RAINES LAW.
If the liquor traffic is legitimate, 1t is ur
fair to treat il otherwise, as the Raine
| law does. If it is not legitimate then Gel

| tolerate the traffic makes the State pa
! ticeps crimlnis. 1t makes magnates of I'll
men who car pay the license.-Rev. W. L
Annable, Methodist, Syracuse, n. Y.

Christian unity can only come on som
plan of federation with Christ as the cente

churches is not the letter Of the creed bu
the spirit that giveth life. Rev. A. Ha
den, Congregationalist, Muskegon, Mich.
sENsATIONALISM.
| To be sensational a thing must be outt
the ordinary. The only sensational thir
in the world is the Bible, and that is e.

| sensation. Je sus Christ was a sensa
| tionalist. He came into the world an
preached the truth, and never deviated froI
| his path.-Rev. P. s. Hurlburt, Congreg
tionalist, Oak Park, Ill.
SUNDAY REST.
To give a man no Sabbath rest Is an a
tempt TO reduce him to all fours. A ma

like machine or mule, and being
man, il is his God given privilege to star
upright The secularization of the Sabbat
is one of the greatest enemies of bett
liying-Rev. {. G. Reynolds, Presbyteria
Joliet, Ill.
THE BIBLE.
In the seething unrest of our times. in Il
deluge of periodicals and magazines, boo
and novels, the Bible is neglected. 1t
the one book we must have. Others mf
be fashionable or entertaining for an ho
or for day, but for one that will last fro
childhood at mothers knee, even throuj
