CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS.
Unsanctified church members are among
the greatest hindrances OF the church OF
Jesus Christ. No nation could fight its
battles with raw recruits. We must have

ciplIneu and trained. Old veterans are
the best soldicrs.-Rcv W G. Partridge,

tiny-because he is the son OF God.-Rev. s..

ests OF this nation is the liquor question.
Rev. Dr. Goodwin, Methodist, San Fran
cisco.

and self control he falls into a snare that
none but fool will ever get into a second

We are in partnership with God to save
souls. We cooperate to bring sinners to
him. The church exists as means to an
end. If We wish to lead Christian lives,
we must cooperate with God and bring
him into our life. There must be no silent
partnership. Rev. j. s. Hutson, Baptist.

GODS LOVE.
The weapon of the gospel is all conquer
ing love. The love OF Christ Constrains
US to love others. Let us endeavor to
keep in the pathway of love and peace,
evincing the spirit of the Master until
the way OF life shall merge into the great
eternity Of Gods love.-Rev- S. X. Nc

THE TRUE LIFE.
The type OF religious life we must Illus
