ing divine as the ages roll away.-Rev. q. s..
MilDurn, Universalist, Cincinnati, Ohio.
THE END OF THE WORLD.
The earth and the heavens are to be burned
up. That is what the Bible says. Science is
gradually coming around to believe with the
Bible. Scientists agree now that the old earth
must be burned up. Unless it is recuperated
somehow this old world must go to smash
Rev. C. M. Hall, Methodist, Lowell, Mass.
sPIRITUALIsM.
The sooner the church recognizes the fact
that if spiritualism is false its Bible is false the
better 1t will be for all concerned. The atti-
tude of tie evangelical churches toward spirit
ualism is due to the fact that they recognize in
the outcome from the spiritualistic hypothesis
the implacable enemy OF their creeds.-H.V.
sweringen, Spiritualist, Fort Wayne, Ind.
POLITICIANS.
Unless man is saved from political sin he is
not saved at all. man cannot be a clean
time. Christianity touches humanity on every
side. The church has to dc. with society and
the church has to do with the body politic.-
Rev. P. S. Hubert, Congregationalist, Oak
Park, Ill.
AMERICANIsM.
To be an American is to believe in America
and the American people. To be an American
is to have an abiding faith in the future and
in the destiny of America. To be an American
is to have high conception of what this great
country should be, and following out that
ideal loyally.-Rev. John H. Prugh, Reformed
Church, Pittsburg, Pa.
If the relations of man and wife were such as
they ought to be, divorce would be unknown.
To prevent separation and divorce true love
must be given new and practical formula
when the novelty subsidies. Instead of lce-
cream and caramels, let it take the form of
bread, butter and meat.-Rev. w. w. Morton,
Presbyterian, AlleghenG, Pa.
LABOR AND RELIGION.
The labor question is religious one. The
only "workingman's friend" is the man who is
Just and kind. Laborers do not want aims
but justice. The church lays its claim upon
the workingman because 1t is an institution
develop those sentiments that are his truest
helpers.-Rev. Frank Crane, Methodist,
Chicago, Ill.
The most invincible thing in the world is
moral genius. The timid lose their faith on
the slightest provocation. To feel and see all
the worlds evils and to hold on to ones faith
in goodness and justice is moral genius. This
shall not prevail.-M. NJ. Mangasarian, Ethical
Culture Society, Chicago, III.
IMMORTAL MAN.
man. No line can measure him. No limit
can bound him. The archangel before the
throne cannot outlive him. The stars shall
die, but he will watch their extinguishment.
The world will burn, but he will gaze at the
Endless ages will march on ;
he will watch the procession. A mani The
masterpiece of God Almighty.-Rev. T. Dewitt,
Washington, d. c.
INVESTIGATION.
Man seeking day after day in the catacombs
of life is confronted with exhibitions he can
not understand, and thus is awakened the
mental and spiritual forces of his nature, and
he stands OH a plane Of intelligence impaired
by that plane of spirit, and nothing more. We
believe it is right and mans duty to investi-
gate all avenues OF knowledge.-Dr. C. G. Ewell,
Spiritualist, Denver, Colo.
THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS
The future prosperity of our Nation depends
entirely upon the training and education of
the youth of the present day. Our public
school system, though we do not claim 1t to be
perfect, is, l think, the best the world ever
saw 1t tends to elevate oil classes and condi-
tions of mankind, foreign and native born,
black and white.-Rev. DR.. Peters, Reformed
