, Common SenSe.-TO0 many Chris
tians drop their common sense alto
gether when they read the Bible.-Dr.
J. T. Dixby, Unitarian, Yonkers, N. Y.
Evil.-Evil, under the cover of betin-
seled gauze, is more insinuating and de-
moralizing than when it f1aunts its un-
covered nakedness.-Rev.J J. d. Stanley,
Episcopalian, Cincinnati, Ohio.
Extravagance.-Tw hundred and f1f-
ty thousand people in want of food and
coal, and S250,000 squandered in sim
gle society ball finds excuse and ap-
plause only in hell.-Rev. Cortlandt
Myers, Baptist, Brooklyn, n. Y.
Newspapers.-Our legitimate newspa-
per is our public arena; it is our safety
valve; it is the artillery that turns
threatening revolution into needed re-
formations. 1t is our public conscience.
Rev. Joseph Krauskopf, Hebrew,
Philadelphia.
Determination.-Tfhe man who is
openly antagonistic has at least deter
mination, and that is something. De
termination is what you need, and IL
the best capital man can have if it's
determination right through.-Rev.
San Jones, Evangelist, at Boston, Mass.
The Use Of Money.-Righteously got
ten wealth is legitimate and honora-
BILE poss ession; il it ministers only TO
display, it becomes yoke and bur-
den; If 1t pampers the children and
shuts them away from their fellows, 1t
is a failure.-Rev. W. H. 2. Faunce,
Baptist, New York City.
Christian Living.-Christ tians wonder
why 1t is that men viii sell their vote,
or, in Office, sell their honor 1t is sim
ply because they are not Christian; be-
cause they have not been brought un-
der the reign of the Christ principles
of lving.-Rev. f. A. Bisbee, Univer-
salist, Philadelphia.
Charity-The conditions in which
thousands of fellows live and die chal-
lenge society to put away for while
frivolity and gayety. Our present duty
is to consider soberly how we can help
the cause Of the poor. Philanthropy
alone will not suffice.-Rev. G. R. Ge-
bauer, Unitarian, Cincinnati, Ohio
Suicide.-The present life Is only
stepping stone to a higher and nobler
one. No matter how lowly you may be
and what your troubles are, you should
remember that there is nothing heroic
in suicide, which is either an ignomin-
ious act Of cowardice or one Of mad
ness.-Rev. Joseph Silyerman, Hebrew,
New York City.
Goodness.-The noblest thing Is to be
good man. Piety is helpful, but good
ness is supreme. Human life is not a
cursed thing, to be disinfected Of it's
poison, but a wonderful seed to be
studied, nurtured, given right soil and
grown to it's native perfection-Rev
L. S. McColiester, universalist, De-
troit, Mich.
Equality.-Our greatest peril is the
concentration of wealth, our greatest
need an equitable distribution Of
wealth. Political economists say that
the benefits of the present civilization
are not impartially distributed, and it
Is not strange that workingmen should
agree to be restless.-Rev. A. J. White,
Unitarian, San Francisco, Cal.
Heaven and Hell.-Intelligent people
will only believe in a heaven and hell
that is purely spiritual. Familiar as
we are with this idea, it is one that can
never lose it's power over US, and while
we may hope to escape all else, but
from ourselves never. 1t is that which
we fear, it is that to which we look
forward e. Worcester, Episco-
palian, Philadelphia, Pa.
