Did Not Cruelty the Lord.
Tho Jews could not have orucifed

A Tender Trinity.
The pink morsel Of baby lying in
your arms is trinity in unity-body,
mind, soul Upon you, father, mother,
to very large degree rests the RESPONSE
bility Of training each.-Rev. s. @.
Palmer. Presbyterian, st. Louis.
Genius and Study.
Study is necessary, application the
only attribute that gives guarantee Of
future success. Genius itself without
industry is virtually buried talent
an idle something that produces moth
ing.-Father John H. May, St Louis.
Mans Right to Choose.
It Is an inherent and inevitable neces-
sity that man be free to choose or re-
ject; that is human morality. Without
that choice between good and evil we
would be as the birds and the beasts. -
Rev. r. Heber Newton, Episcopal, New
York.
Angels on Earth.
eleave to the belief that in this age
even, which, with its knife and its
glass, thrusts far away the heavens, so
neighborly Of old, we shall find that the

manding not only present bread, but
the deliverance from the intolerance Of
immortality J. F. Stout, Metho-
dist. st. Paul.
Tricks of Cupid.
There are tricks in love as we'll as in
trade. One Of them is to make things
seem to be what they are not As you
value your life, young woman, do not
marry manikin, hatter's show block,
tailor's lay figure. Rev. Madison G.
Peters, Reformed, New York.
Sensational Newspapers.
A stamp of newspapers is being
spread broadcast over the land which
not only is a disgrace to the high voca-
ton Of the press, but is debasing the
tastes. destroying the loftier aspirations
and running the souls of thousands upon
thousands. Rev. Robert L. MoFarlane,
Episcopal, Medina, o.
"Watering" Religious Stock.
The same genius that devised the
plan of watering" the stock Of corpora
items has weakened the force Of the gos-
pei until in many churches it has be-
come few high sounding phrases
which will not disturb the serenity Of
the pew owners. Rev. W. @. Pierce,

What to Read.
A little of Mark Twain. more Of
Tennyson, more Of Longfellow, still

biography, carefully selected bit of
science and philosophy. Read sparingly

Natures Good Gifts.
How much of good the great and the
lesser lights that we see in the heavens
bring to usl The joy not only Of the
CHEEKY day, but the mellow loveliness
of the moonlit night, and the place and
profit of each in the economy Of nature
these are good gifts Rev. o. A.
Miller, Lutheran, New York.
In Behalf of Birds.
The salvation of men rests upon the
lowly claims of the lily and the swal
low. The hand that wantonly impales
the lark Or thoughtlessly stabs the

unconscious. league with the hands that
drove the nails in the cross on Calvary
1900 hundred years ago.-Rev. j. L.
Jones, All Souls Church, Chicago.
The Various Powers Of Prayer.
Prayer defines relations. Meditation
may become mystical, pantheistic, tran
scendental, but prayer cuts clear of that.
Work, too. may be either self exalting
or self depressing. Prayer imparts pow
er of resistance and reform. Besides, it
imparts power of endurance or fortitude
power Of unfailing love and Of end
less life. Rev. James E. Danforth,
Congregational, Cincinnati.
A World with Fence Around 1t.
The people who are too pious to en-
joy outdoor exercise and breathe the
pure air of heaven, even on the Sabbath,
are too religious to be of much conse-
quence to themselves or to the world
about them, and the sooner, to my
mind, they are translated, or build lit
tie world and fence it in. the better for
all concerned. Rev. s. d. Sammis,
Baptist, New Brunswick, N. J.
Each Ono Of Us Twin.
Every human being is twin. One
Of him is his material body. the other
his spiritual body, which just fits the
material one, and if it could be seen
would be found to look just like it.
The spiritual body is the lovable, i'm
portant, eternal part Of the twin per-
sonality. At death these two are sep
arated, and the empty earthly shell
falls in its tracks and molders back to
earth and dust Rev. V. Marshall Law,
Church Of the Advent, Oakland, Cal.
