Our only real and vital beliefs, after
all, are those which represent the full
energy of our convictions and the power
and concentration of our lives" says
the Christian Register Unitarian OF
Boston. 1T was in this spirit that
Jesus Christ rejected the verbal accla-
nations of those who said, Lord, Lord,
but did not do the will of His Father
He judged men by their fruits. The
difficulty with written creeds IS that
they seldom can represent the full
power OF the convictions which may
compel them, and that they may come
to be held as a form of words by those
who have never experienced the vital
ity of the truth they contain. And this
Is not merely true of bad creeds. 1t is
true of good ones. Men may confess
them and assume that they believe
them, but they do not bear fruit in life
and character. To hold a nominal be-
lief in false creed is not more dan
gerous than to hold a nominal belief
in good one. To repeat a creed may
keep it in the memory when it has
ceased to influence the life. Ritual
mechanism cannot take the place of
warm, throbbing life, and the church
ritual may have no more blood in IT

To have pressed the question of eligi-

divided the Conference. If the decision

'If we believe" says the New York
Outlook" that the Bible is, in every
book, chapter, paragraph, sentence
and word equally inspired and authori-
tative, we are relieved from all neces-
sity of exercising moral discrimination
in reading it. It's infallibility relieves
us from mental toll in it's perusal If
we believe that it is a human book con-
tanning a revelation of God as a seed
contains a principle of life within it's
husky covering, we are compelled to
exercise discriminating judgment and
mental toll in determining what is the
divine principle of life and what is the
human husk. This is undoubtedly a
difficult matter, and if it were desira-
bic to avoid mental toll, the new criti-
cism, even if 1t were true, would bring
with it some undesirable results In
point Of fact, however, it is not desir-
able to relieve ourselves from mental
toll. We grow morally strong, not by
having moral truth given to us in per-
feet and infallible forms, but by being
compelled to think on moral problems;
to use the figure CT the Bible itself, it
is mine in which silver is hidden.
For this silver we must seek; we must
search for it as men search for hidden
treasure. 1t is not coined, minted, and
delivered to us with the Kings stamp
on it. The coming, minting, and the
separating of it from the dross are left
for us to do.'

Make Much Money by Furnishing Lights
for Gentiernen's Cigars.
The resourceful newsboys of New
York have hit upon new idea for
money making, sort Of "side line, 3"
as the drummer would call it. They
stand at the bottom OF the elevated
railway stations with boxes of wind
proof matches in their hands. When
the newsboy sees u man coming down
the steps nibbling the end of cigar
and fumbling in his waistcoat pockets,
he pulls out a match, lights it with
the air of a salesman behind a bargain
and sings out;
Have light, boss?"
Not infrequently tho "boss" avails
himself of the ready made light thrust
toward him, says the New York World
man.
Have tn whols box for cent Of
yer want it, " is the next remark, and
he is mean man who does not helm
an infant industry by buying. Many
OF the boys are making more money
out OF tbeir matches than they are
making by selling papers. Some Of the
more enterprising lads are branching
nut in the new business, and few
have abandoned their papers entirely &C
as to devote their entire time to the
wind proof match cigar lighting indus
try. Thus far their operations have been
confined principally to the downtown
elevated stations, where business men,
who arc the most confirmed smokers.
get off the trains. At night few oi
them carry their matches TO the RialtC
and easily make the price of theil
nights lodging by lighting cigars fol
men who come from the theatres.

. Points to Recognize in the Race Of
Life. " To be successful in tho race Of
life young man must first get the
principle Of spiritual law-"seek ye
first the Kingdom of God. - After that
is the necessity of strong body, which
is essential to the highest success. The
third point to recognize is TO have Just
one object in view. A young man
should study we'll his gifts, make his
selection and then stick to it. Success
does not come all at once; 1t is slow
growth. Mushrooms grow in one night
and 20 do mush heads. True success
is not to be measured by any earthly
yard stick. God rates ii rightly, and
being right with Him alone is success
