FORGIVENESS OF SINS. Forgiveness
Of sin requires that the spiritual nature,
deeply wounded by sin, be made over new
and whole. That can be done only by Him
who created the soul. Small wonder the
Jews found fault when Christ said TO the
paralytic Son, thy sins be forgiven
thee."-Rev r L Gerhart Lutheran,
Belletonte, Pa.
THE LIFE OF JEsUs.-The life Of
Jesus proved that there was an unseen
power which He declared was spirit, and
by means Il which He overcame every i'll
Ct the flesh, and even the flesh itself, thus
proving the truth of His words. The
spirit alCne give,h life, the flesh prohteth
nothng.-Dr. Alfred Farlow Christian
Scientist Kansas City, Mo
THE EVOLUTIONARY PROCESS. The
evolutionary process does not cease when
mans present form is attained, but its
forces are now chiefly devoted TO develop
ing and perfecting mans mind, heart and
character, This points quite conclusively
to a continuance and higher Use OF these
spiritual faculties in life to come.-Rev.
c. w. Wendte, Unitarian, Los Angeles,
Cal.
THE HISTORICAL sABBATH.-It Is
impossible for many Jewish people to
faithfully observe the historical Sabbath
Therefore we oonsecrate the actual hours
Of leisure which they enjoy on Sunday
morning by Jewish worship and sermon.
We feel it our duty to provide spiritual
instruction on the day of rest, which many
OF our people only have on Sunday.-Rev.
Dr. Schulman, Hebrew New York City.
THE SALOON.-I am opposed to the
saloon, and wish we could see it disappear,
but | realize that it holds a place that
nothing else fills II is the only place
where poor men find social life. Rich men
ma this life in clubs and the poor man
must seek the saloon or go without it I
do not mean by this that l favor drinking
CLUBS But while ] believe the clubs and
saloons do great deal Of harm l am not
/ in favor OF doing away with them until
/ there is something TO take their place 49,

/ IN spite OF itself is coming into new realms
/ Of purpose and opportunity whether that
purpose is right or wrong and whether the
