PEARLS FROM THE PULPIT

Light in the meaning OF the text, Let
your light shine, is figurative of the
Christian graccs. 1t will shine unless
hindered. All shadow is caused by the
hindrance of light. A Christly spirit will
shine out unless hindered. This admonf-
tionis greatly needed today. Worldliness,
carelessness, pleasure, have a tendency
to obscure the light of Christian living -
Rev. II. r. Naylor, at McKendree NJ E
Church.
The natural principle OF faith is exceed
ingly prominent and Important. A man
from the cradle to the grave is governed
by faith. Education would be impossible
without faith. Society is bound together
by faith. If faith were eliminated from
society the latter would be dissolve
Society is impossible without faith. -
Rev. DR.. R. Il. McKin, at Epiphany.
The Gospel contains an excellent sys-
TEN OF doctrine and enjoins certain simple
ceremonies, hut these are not religion
A sound creed is Indispensable and appro-
PIRATE forms of worship invaluable aids.
We cannot dispense with songs and pray
ers, and sermons and sacraments But
these are not religion. They bear about
the same relation to it as the pitcher
bears to the water it contains. ''-Rev.
DR.. Lucien Clark, at Foundry NJ E Chuloh.
