New Golden Rule.

"As yo would that men do to you do even so to myself. :" If this is followed out, success is attainable and heaven is as sure as your existence is. If others treated usas we do ourselves, the courts would be full of grievances, Follow this, and drunkenness, licentiousness, dishonesty, liars, frauds, etc., would all disappear. Take this rule, then live it, act it. die by it and enter glory. You who have platforms and formulated principles, take this as your life's mot, to and the Christ rule will soon be ush- cred into rule.-Dr. Leach, Methodist, Chicaoo

 There are to-day thousands of homes all over the country that were once chiId1ess and unhappy, but that to-day echo with the laughter of happy babyhood, as a re- suit of a marvellous medicine, known as pr.

This is the greatest of all medicines for women who sufferer from weakness and disease of the delicate and important organs that bear the burdens of maternity. 1t makes them healthy strong, vigorous and elastic.

Question of Character.
Actual Christian Life.

Literary and dramatic Christianity will never be truly descriptive of the actual Christian life because there is so much of it that is beyond the power of human portraiture. The human ele- ments may be given with reasonable ac- curacy, but what makes the Christian life Christian is the infusion of the di- vine, and that is beyond the power of man to reveal except by suggestion. = Dr. A. A. Berle, Congregationalist, Bos- ton.

Weary of Oppression.

The world Is getting very weary of the weighty arm of oppression, whether it be military or industrial. Uncon- seiously men are yearning for the new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. While Edward Bellamy dreams of that happy day by and by where there shall be equality of social conditions, mo. thinks ho overlooks the very solemn and sorry fact that he is not dealing with a regenerated race. In the twenti- eth century, as in the nineteenth, he will have to make his reckoning with a selfish humanity.-Dr, Frank M. Car son, Presbyterian, Chicago.
 shun Facilitating Indecision.
 There are but two ways dictated by conscience, and the general trend of iifo must be one way or the other, by tho very conditions and destinies of moral force. Indecision is universally decisive for the wrong, showing q lack of the moral forces in character, which reflect the conscience of the individual. From vacillating indecision let us part, separate from companions whose lnt1u- ence is degrading, and let there be no tears at the parting. Better be alone than in mean company. Be an Obadiah, going the other way from sin. .-Dr w.. T. Chase, Baptist, Philadelphia

Dignity of Man.

It is ill tho moral and spiritual nature that the dignity of man appears to pos sess an advantage of his kinship with divinity based upon his immortal na- ture. This links him to tho chain of endless being. Possessed of Gods s own nature man has power to grasp the in tangible and see the invisible.-Dr Kerr Boyee Tupper, Baptist, Chicago.
 Question of Character.
 So far as man is concerned tho devil s presence and temptations are to result in the development of character Man decides the question of character. If God had made it impossible to sin, there could have been no character Man at his best would have been a ma chine Neither virtue nor heroism would have been possible. J. R.
