How to Make Life Worth Living.
Life is not worth living if the chief
purpose is to get money or to acquire

church is especially directed.-Rev
John A. Cass. Presbyterian, Swarth-

ON his fellow men and rises on their
ruin to greater victories. 1t is the great
gospel of love that must finally regen-
crate the world.-Dr. Charles Wood,
Presbyterian. Philadelphia.

These are days in which mems minds
and hearts are filed with the thought

before the day when science began to
make her contribution toward better
knowledge Of the laws through which
he works.-Dr. William r. Harper.
President Chicago University, Chicago.
Good Works Are Profitable.
Good work ought not to be hard
work. Good work should come from us
as the very expression of our nature.
What we need is to be properly wound
up; to be taken up by some infinite
motive to do things not because they
are profitable or Improbable, comfort
ing or uncOmfortinQ Donular or unDoD-
