Complete Unity.
Undenominational journalism is abb
solutely necessary to demonstrate the
unity of the Christian world. Wide
and desperate attempt is made to show
that the religion Of Jesus Christ is only
battle-ground of sects, and the cry
has been: IF you want US to accept
your religion, agree, gentlemen, as to
what the Christian religion really is
This denomination says few drops of
water dripping from the end Of the fin
gers is baptism. and another demands
the submergence Of the entire body.
This one prays with book, and that one
makes extemporaneous utterance. The
rector of one delivers his sermon in a
gown, while the backwoods preacher
of another sect addresses the people IN
his shirt sleeves. Some of your denomi-
nations have the majestic domina1 III

SOME PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS.

Good works toward the sick and un-
fortunate, expressing the true charac-
ter of cur religion, and Of our Saviour,
and His power over men for good, are
one Of the strongest influences drawing
men to Christ. The more Christians do
for the poor, the sick, the unfortunate,
the more they viii be multiplied.
The destruction Of Dcrcas showed the
reality CT the immortal life, that the
soul has an existence separate from the
body; and that eternal life, begun here
and continuing forever, is the life that
should be most earnestly sought.
It is wise to observe the gradual I'M
folding Of the plans Of GCd, and the way
He led the church up TO them. 1t was
not the truth that was enlarged, but
their own views.
1t is helpful to note the inter twining
Of Gods providence.
The change wrought by Jesus in Cor
nelius, though he was a good, devout
man before, was very great. He had a
new revelation CT Gods will, he had as
surance where before he had lOngilgs
and hope He had new life, new love,
new master, a new power.

The edges Of the ribbon are trimmed
with tiny frius OF white gauze. With

One steD away from God is all it
takes to reach the gate Of hell.
Every true Christian is a magnet
drawing somebody toward Christ.
The Christian light should shine the
brightest where it is needed the most.
We should use all the light God has
given us, to help those who are still
in the dark.
The man who has never used his eyes
to consider the mercies Of God, has
used them to small purpose.
