the fiat level of our lives, and do not
rise to the elevation of the beautiful
things about us.-Rev. S. A. Eliot, Uni
tartan, Brooklyn, n. Y.
Worldly Hopes-Our worldly hopes
must die. The sap must all run out of
them and leave them worthless and
empty before our ambition and aspira-
tion shall be fixed upon truth and right
eousness.-Rev. Frank Crane Method
ist, Chicago, Ill.
The Faith Cure.-lt is right and help
full to use prayer in the treatment of
disease. But along with that and going
before it natural means are to be used.
If medicine is useless, why was the
earth made a vast pharmacy of ina
teria medica ?'-Rev. Walker Lewis,
Methodist, Atlanta, Ga.
Masks.-We may mask for season
the inner man, we may still the hearts
struggle so effectually that the world
hears it not, but by and by nature as
serts herself, and all the world know
what we have felt and thought and
done. for with legible hand does God
Almighty write in each face n life's
histoly.-Rev. Ii. NJ. Cook, Baptist, Chi
cago, Ill.
Happy Workingmen. - Abundance
does not and cannot produce happiness.
The workingman who has a good job
and fair wage, thrifty habits, happy
home and a conscience void of offense
pendent man in the community.-Rev.
w. III. Carwardine, Methodist, Chicago,
Ill.
The Ministry.-The ministry is not
profession at all, not for the natural
man at all, not of natural origin nor to
secure natural results. The ministry
Is not one of any class of employment.
1t is a class by itself-unique, peculiar,
sacred calling of divine appointment.
Rev. w. f.. Paddock, Episcopalian,
Philadelphia, Pa.
Klondike Visions.-We look at the
grains of gold in Klondike with mi
|
reach and those laid up in heaven with
an inverted telescope. Hold your posi-
tlon, spend less than your income, and
some of your relatives will return from
klondike to share your bounty.-Rev.
j. ii. o. Smith, Christian, Chicago. Ill.
Mob Law.-Do we wonder at lynch
ings and mob law? Were the people
assured that the criminal would meet
the penalty of the law and that justice
would not miscarry, they would be con-
tent to rest the matter with the courts.
But justice and judgment having fail
ed, our hands are defiled with blood
Rev. Albion w. Knight, Episcopalian,
Atlanta, Ga.
Thoughts that BURMA word is only
form, but it may contain a thought
that burns. A number is only form,
but he who will not use the form will
never weigh the stars and measure
their orbits. A letter is only form.
but he who will not learn the alphabet
VIII never read the worlds noblest and
best literature.-Rev. G. f. Winbigler,
Baptist, Philadelphia, Pa.
quiet Forces.-In this world it is the
quiet forces that are the most power
full ones, and this is true in all of the
wonderful forces of nature. The MORN
ing sun is not heralded by any loud or
forcible demonstration. Reformations
that changed the forms of Christianity
nave had their beginnings in the mind
OF single person.-Rev. A. S. Yantes
Episcopalian, Brooklyn, n. Y.
Men for Sale.-In very truth. eyery
man, unless the divine life abides in
MIN, has his selfish price. The Word
tells OF only one who could bear all
temptations, outward and inward. of
the flesh, of the intellect and of the
heart, and even he continually ac-
knowledged that of himself. or bv his
nature, inherited from man, he could
10 nothing.-Rev. John Goddard, Swe-
denDorgian, Cincinnati, Ohio.
Rich and Poor.-Sometimes strikes
are not justified, but at other times 7
believe they are. All rich men are not
on, 10 t,ahs' ana II Is Just as true to-day
as IN the time of Christ that it is hard
ior n rich man to enter the kingdom of
heaVeh' Rich men have the power to
oppress and to slay, and too often they
use IT, IL a man becomes a money
making machine, he will, as the Scrip
lures say, grind the face of the poor
