ennial stream of divine thinking that
our lives may be pure, strong, obedi-
ent.-Rev. A. NJ. Harvuot, Christian
Church, Cincinnati.
Belief In immortality.
Man does not believe in immortality
because he has ever proved 1t, but he
is ever trying to prove it because he
cannot help believing it.-Rev. M. ID.
Shutter, Universalist, Minneapolis
Most Manly Life.
That life is to all intents and pur-
poses the most manly, however brlef
and protracted it's term, into which
the most usefulness is crowded.-Rev.
G. P. Bridewell, Presbyterian, Atlanta.
Revelation of God.
The revelation of God as we have it
in the Bible should help us to see COD
everywhere-in the world of nature
and in the world of human life.-Rev.
W. A. WATSON, Episcopalian, Brook

the people actually believe.-Rev. Will
lard B. Thorp, Congregational, Chi
cago.

prevail of his fellow man or his God

ened faith and the unshadowed bright
ness Of eternal love.-Rev. w. Francis

Mission of Christians.

make men like Christ. All the light Of
beauty was held in the soul Of John
Ruskin to be used for others until the
civilized world had become beautiful
in his ight.-Rev. George II. Perkins,

Best Work.
The best work in the world was done
by the men who were most keenly
aware of it's imperfection. Gods
smiles were for those who felt, though
doing their best, yet felt how badly
they had done. Men should be sorry
not because they had failed, but be-
cause they had misrepresented their
Lord.-Rev. James Mursell, Baptist,
London.

multitude that believed were of one
heart and one soul, and not one of
them said that aught Of the things
which he possessed was his own, but
they had all things common, for nei-
Their was there any among them that
]. II. o. Smith, Chris
tian Church, Chicago.

Oh, that Christian people could feel
the sacredness Of citizenship. It's the
one need of the hour. With Christ as
our model we would have a solution
for all the ills that confront our coun-
try today. This is ''Jesus Christ So
cialism." It's the only hope Of our
times. 1t would bridge the chasm be-
