self means to contribute an honest and
intelligent man to his generation and to
bequeath to posterity Gods greatest cre-
ation-the example of an honest man.
Rev. William RAIDER. Congregation
alist, San Francisco.
Christianity does not demand that
we admire unlovely men or that we feel
happy in their presence. It does not de-
mand rs to ignore their selfishness. We
can love such men in that we seek to do
them good and rejoice in all the ad-
vancement they make.-Rev. R. z.
Sykes, Universalist, Denver.
On Life's Ocean.
We cannot allow our barks to rock
idly on the gentle waves Of the protect
ed harbor of our childhood. We must
Of necessity put out to sea with our fell
lows. Here we shall find the navies Of
the world, some bearing blessings and
others curses to tho children of men,
Rev. Frederick d. Tucker, CongreRa-
tionalist, St. Louis.
ChrIstEnnsty.
Human naturo is rich with splendid
possibilities, and Christianity never
came to stultify or impoverish, but to
vitalize, enrich, beautify. purify and
expand all its possibilities, to make the
world pure, just and true and to broad
en- the horizon of purified life to its uIti-
mate limits-Rev. Dr.. ]. II. Early,
Methodist, ST. Louis.
Life Is DrIef and Uncertain.
Life is brief. and. more than this, is
uncertain, so uncertain that the end
may como at any moment and find us
unprepared. Urbelief generally comes
from ignorance, and such men would
not have faith even if Moses and all the
prophets were to come and plead with
them that they give up their sins and
follow Christ-Rev. W. E Slemmens,
Presbyterian, Mercer, Pa.
Renewing Our Allegiance to God.
Let US renew cur allegiance to God.
avoid ever again being vile enough to
sin, ard thereby defeat the designs of
grace. Let US acknowledge the gifts we
have received and offer OR thanks often
and regularly, at least every morning
and evening. Thus will we make room
in our souls for additional graces ard
favors, all Of which are necessary to the
working out of our salvation. Rev. d.
L. Nugent, Catholic, San Francisco.
