GoSPEL.-The Gospel Of Christ lies at
the basis of modern civilization. The doc
lrine OF forgiveness OF sins through re-
pentance and faith relieves humanity of
tne burden under which IL labors In de-

aenverances follow in the wake OF the re-
uenptien from sin and an evil conscience.

ne DO for himself? 1t is only when he is
uolng the best he can for himself that
other people can effectively help him. Even

Methodist, Cincinnati. Ohio.
PREACHING Il think that the empha-
sis of preaching is laid with increasing
power upon the vital and spiritual ele-
ments of religion. We have already
gained within our borders the battle which
may be still waging In some other quar-
tiers. for needed liberty of thought and
speech. Biblical criticism and all scen-
tlhc Investigations have room aud free
play among us. The conviction grows and
deepens among us that all knowledge and
all truth are TO minister to life. Accord
