OIL us btneiits/unto others is the su.est
road to increafe of greatness. --Rabbi Phil
ipson. Hebrew. Cincinnati, Ohio.
IDEAS MOVE THE wORLD.--The meu
who leave their mark are the men Of one
idea. or men who subordinate all to one
motive. Every idea has behind It a uni
yersal power.-Dr. J. ID. Buck, Theos opalst
Cincinnati.
JUDGMENT-The time of Gods final
judgments and the dispensing Of rewards
and penalties has not yet arrived The
Lord Jesus Christ does not formally and
finally Judge the quick and the dead until
the last great assize at the end Of the
world. We are not now through with life.
nor is God through with We. To Judge men
at present is to PREJUDICE them. Judgment
is not the matter which God has now in
hand.-Rev. Henry Swentzel, Episcopalian,
Brooklyn, N. Y.
WAR-War that is polite is not war. The
Cubans are making war on the proper lines.
The more savage you can make the battle
the sooner 1t is done. What is the use of
doing, all you can to break a man to pieces
and then tenderiy binding the pieces to-
gcther. Make war so inhumaniy savage
that human nature will not permit It. That
is my doctrine. No hospital. no ambulance,
no quarter, RIO Red Cross. Make it too
horrible to undertake.--Rev. NJ. w. i,eed,
Independent, Denver Colo.
PURE IN HEART-NIany who declare
that their hands are clean and their hearts
pure tell an untruth. Their hands would
he repulsive If we could see them as God
sees them. Many things In society and
business are condoned. There is great
deal of sham, which, according to an I'M
written law is looked upon by the world
as right and fair There Is. however, a
standard Of honesty, and all should live
up to it. We can not have clean hands II
we have impure hearts Rev. n. +. Mac
laren, Presbyterian, San Jose, Cal.
MONEY-Money is of God It is one of
His most benevolent provisions But it be-
longs to Him. Every dollar man has he
torrows. He can no more claim ownership
ever IL than he can over the air he breathes
or the sunlight that guides his steps. 1t
is only given to man in trust; God is the
real owner. When man moves cut of the
world he does not take dollar with him
OF the money he has been calling his own.
Man has but one thing which is peculiarly
his own, and his forever and that is his
oharacter,-Rev. Frank Hungate, Baptist,
Columbus, Ohio
THE TRUE HERO,-Thc true hero puts
no faith in charms and nostrums. but be-
lieves only in hard facts and in mmovabe
realities. He believes In immutable laws
natural, economic, commercial financial
social. He believes in an iron chain OF
cause and effect. which for good and evil
binds all things and all men and nations.
He looks at things and men with clear and
keen eyes. He weighs all matters in the
balance of sober judgment He decides
whatever questions and problems come be-
fore him only after considering the ripest
experience Of mankind. Rabbi Moses, He
brew, Louisville, Ky.
THE BIBLE AND PROGRESSING real
progress of the race ever started from in
fidelity, or was ever helped to success by
mon who cut themselves loose from the
historic influences of Christianity. All
remedial, preventive and redempttye phil
anthropy has always been rooted in the
word of God, and the men who have
wrought the most for their fellows have
ever been guided and empowered by the
forces embodied ard made radiant in the
historic events and the noble lives of tho
church of God in all time. for all real
progress will always be based on the prin-
ciples of the Bible.Rev. T. Beeber, Pres
byterian, Norristown, Pa.

be sure that it is only the symbol OF real

of expressing the realities OF the MIND ana
