A NEW wORLD-We arc living in 4
new world. No one ever occupied exactly
tho same material or intellectual sphere
for two days or two minutes, and the great
glory OF this time is that 1t is the day OF
the general discovery OF the divine prin-
cple OF development We have come at

Evangelist, Boston, Mass.
A PRACTICAL CHRIST-Christ was no
sentimentalist. He did not stop to debate
with sentimental philosophers or scholastic
charlatans. He was never ambitious to
popularize that He said or did. Christ
was immensely practical. He never wrote
a poem or n thesis on ethics, yet He lived
a faultlessly moral life, and His words
we're full OF poetic beauty.-Rev. II. Il.
Morse, Baptist. New York City.
IONGEVITY-S,ckness and death are q
matter OF habit. The term OF life has been
extended since we have come to study the
conditions under which we live. II science
can lcngthen life for days or years. why
not for centuries? II IL should 20 out OF
feshion to die at three score and ten, we
might 1--we q century. All we neeu is 10
learn how to ask,--Rcv. II. 0. Penacost.
Independent. New York City.
THE GOAL OF HUMANITY-Some men
declare that the good old days were the
best. They despair OF the future. According
to them, degeneracy is the goal OF hui
mnnity. This Is wretched philosophy to
teach the youth OF any land. The man who
adopts 1t must have a high opinion of
himself and small opinion of those who
will come aftcr him-hs own children. for
Instance. Rev j. ]. Muir. Baptist, Wash
ington. d. G.
THE PULPIT AS a SINECURE.-Ther
are thoee who look upon the ministry as
a sort OF sinccure: who think that the life
OF a pastor Is a nice. easy life. This view
Ia born of ignorance The work Of The min
istry Is arduous. There Is no position In
our modern life which requires a greater
versatility OF gifts and stronger powers
OF endurance. He who succeeds in tho best
sense as a pastor of modern city church
must be many sided man. The strain
upon his powers and faculties is simply
tremendous. w. +. Anderson, Meth
| odist, New York City.
