the inner man, we may still the hearts

history.-Rev. II. N. Cook, Baptist, Chi

Thoughts that Burn.-A word is only
form. but 1t 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 alpha bet
will rever read the worlds noblest and
best literature.-Rev. c. f. Winbigler,

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

man. unless the divine life abides in
him, has his selfish price. The Word
tells of only one who could bear all
temptations, outward and inward. of

knowledged that of himself, or by his
nature inherited from man, he could

the whole family Of man as Of the

munity Of interests, oneness Of life and
( a mutual interdependence. We are IN
der the law of solidarity. We rise or
fall together. Whatever affects the

suffer.-Rev. G. W. Mead. Presbyterian

Manhood.-No manhood can be truly
beautiful which Is not gentle. Ye,
| there is a tendency in many men to-
| ward misanthropy. They strive tC
harden themselves against the world
| sorrows. They would deaden the nat
| ural sensitiveness Of their hearts
They think tenderness and sentimental
| ism unworthy of a manly man. Such

rushing In ones heart Of that which Is

most divine thing in us Is love.-Rev.
