dependency. go thou" Is Christ's

Hurry" Everybody is bowling down
to worship it.--Rev. e. j. Haynes,
Methodist, New York City.
Love.-Spontanelty proves that love
IL deeper than intellect and conscience
and that 1t is genuine, since 1t has Its
abode among the instincts Of the heart
Rev. e. A. Taylor, Baptist, Memphis,
Tenn. w
Happiness.-There seems to be a tre-
mendous mistake about the power of a
large fortune to make a man happy.
Carrying $1O0,0OO,OOO. or even $1,000
600, for board and clothes, IL doing a
great deal of hard work for small pay.
Rev. M. G. Peters, Independent, New
York City.
Capital and Labor.--I am opposed to
demagogues, but for labor to protest
against capital In the fashion 1t does is
folly. For how could labor live with
out capital? On the other hand, of
course, capital could not live without
labor.-Rey. j. ID. Newton, COngrega-
tionalist, Cleveland, Ohio.
Honest Toil.-The soul Of the honest
wOrkingman is white. His wife loves
him, his children worship him. The
community respects him, he Is a
mighty factor in our complex civiliza-
ton. He Is a splendid example Of the
nobility Of toil.-Rev. /. N. MOorhead,
Methodist, Mount Carmel, Pa.
The Living Church.--The end Of the
world will be the end of everything ex-
cept the church, but the glory of the
church will continue without end. The
church believes time to be the veshbule
Ind eternity the temple where she shall
go no more out forever.-Rev. o. p.
Wright, Methodist, Pueblo, Colorado.
The Problem Of Man.,-The problem
of man. We have divine lineage.
The very record is an inspiration. The
poorest man may carry himself like q
king in the light of 1t. Our breasts
may swell with pride In rejecting upon
it. Our heart burns within us because
of it.-Rev. j. r. Mace, Methodist, Cam
den, n. J.
A Condition Of Wealth.--IIabor Is now
the one condition Of wealth; neither
nations nor individuals longer dream Of
riches secured by war of theft, but as
the fruit of human energy. Give all
men permission to work, and this world
will bud and blossom like a garden
Rev. J. NJ. Patterson, Presbyterian, De-
troit, Mich.
Wealthy Tramps.-The man who does
no useful work, who does not contrib
ute to the common good, does not fully
live. And this is so whether he Is rich
or poor. / see no reason why the tramp
who rides I'm the palace car is any bet
ter than the tramp who walks upon the
ties.-Rev. III. b. Cooley, Disciple,
Cleveland, Ohio.
Signs Of Weakening.-So much ig-
noranee, selfishness, corruption and
avarice have entered into the politics
and principles Of our governing parties
that although we have a splendid peo-
pie, magnificent domain and rich
heritage, yet many parts Of our great
structure seem unsafe and show signs
of weakening.-Rev. II. o. Rowiands,
Baptist, Lincoln, Neb.
BeaHty-Beauty is the result Of our
accidental relations to objects. For q
thing that is beautiful to-day is tame
or disgusting tomorrow. You can do
more define it than you can overtake
the ignus fatuus. You might as well
attempt to paint lovers sigh or tell
where an angels smile had been.-Rev.
w. w. Fellows, Congregationalist,
Hamilton, Ohio.
Strikes.-From an economical point
Of view n labor strike is as bad as war.
There is n great waste of resources on
either side. In no great modern strike
has the point under contention been
worth financially what it has cost.
Either side could have afforded to give
up the point and avoid the strike.-Rev.
o. J. Fairfield, Unitarian, Spokane,
Washington.
Religion and Politics.-Business and
religion should not and cannot be sep
arated. If the workingman Is getting
poor wages, the church and the charit-
able organizations will suffer, and for
that reason claim that every one
should be true to his religious faith,
should adopt that for his platform
which should benefit his church.-Rev.
d. #. Woodburn, Baptist, Allegheny,
Pa
