The Upward Course Of the World.
The course of the world is onward
and upward toward the light, and the
eddies of the day count for nothing in
the long courses of the years.-Bishop

Christianity's Chief Glory.
The highest glory of Christianity is
not apprehended by those who fail to
see in it the divine fulfillment of what
ever is true and good in the non Christian
systems-Rev. DIR. John Henry Bar
rows, Chicago
Patient With One Another.
This truth that all lives are yelled in
this world should teach us to be very

Christ no slave can live. It means liber-

theran, Philadelphia.
A Great Aid to Reading or Listening.
In reading or listening it is great
help toward the true meaning to desire
the truth. Sincere people will be per-

thinks too much Of them to allow them

Lord our God be upon us. Rev. e.
II. Hoffman, Methodist. Bryn Mawr,

Christianity's AFFINITY With Soldiers.

Jesus Christ. DR.. George D.
Baker, Presbyterian, Philadelphia.
Opportunities For Patriotism.
If we really wish to be patriotic, if
we are ready to enlist il our country's
service and to pledge ourselves to a
truer citizenship, the opportunities are
not far away, and the patriotism may
be all the more genuine if exercised in
inconspicuous ways in which there is
no thought of personal honor.-Rev.
w. L. Worcester, Church Of the New
Jerusalem. Philadelphia.
Power of the Gospel.
The potency of the gospel is its first
claim upon US today, for power is what
men seek as never before physical pow

social, Industrial, political. But greater
than all is moral and spiritual power,
for it means the subsection Of the hui
man will, the control of the affections,
the transformation of the ife.-Rev.
George Hubbard Payson, Presbyterian,
Railway, N. ].

indebtedness to it's great leaders during
life, and Gladstone's death shows the
omnipotence of God and also how emp

Benefits Of Liberty.
Freedom is worth what it's attain
ment has cost and is costing, chiefly as
it affords advantages of larger life,
which we industriously improve. We
should seek it as an invigorating atmos-
phere in which to grow rather than a
balmy air in which to Sleep We should
seek freedom Of thought in order that
our minds, unfettered, may think great
and worthy thoughts and hold unmo-
Tested the conclusions of honest investi-

mind may not be terrified by threats
weakened by fattery or narrowed by
bigotry. Rev. Richard E. Sykes, Uni
