saved.-Rev. DR.. A. G. Dixon, Baptist,

the honorable alliance with Christ.

family, in their calling, in their associ-
alton, in the church and in the world

way would be clear and easy Of access.

Importance of Small Things.
Small things are the matter of eter-
nal recompense. l know that the acts
of human life seem too unimportant to
merit either heaven or hell. Yet they
are in their own nature either divine
or satanic We do even the light things
either as sons of God or as slaves Of
the devil.-Rev. Alfred e. Myers,
Marble Collegiate Church, New York.
Origin and Destiny.
We have grand origin, we have q
grand destiny, and therefore we ought
to have grand lives. Religion consists
of bearing your origin in mind and so
living that nothing can mar the accom-
plishment of your destiny, That is
what Christ did and what we are call
ed upon to do. Religion therefore is
the highest, noblest and most inspiring
thing in the universe.-Rev. George Ii.
Hepworth, Congregationalist New
York.
Official Integrity.
The public mind is more sensitive
to official character than to personal
character. Both In church and state
many have suffered, not so much from
incapaeity as from lack of official con-
science. The joy of the Christian, how
ever, arises from the official integrity
Of Christ. There Is not a flaw in his
administration. He never overlooked
petition properly presented, nor
desplsed the most humble petitioner.
Wealth or rank, race or color, past or
present standing among men, cannot
, influence him in his treatment Of those
that came unto God by him.-Rev.
Nevin Woodside, Reformed Presby-
terrain, Pittsburg.
