evil way and would never have entered
by a leap. Entrance was made by
inches only-Rev. John Lindsay With
row, Presbyterian, Boston
GOD IN NATURE.
I think the church has done wrong,
although unwittingly, when it has
taught that Gods presence is more real
within the four walls of a. chapel or at
the altar than it is at the foot of
grand old tree or on the shore of a
beautiful lake. Religion is not thing
of Sunday or of clothes or of affairs
and ceremonies.-Rev. Charles H. Ea,-
ton JJniversalist, New York.
THE NEED OF THE SABBATH.
Without the Lords day the church or
Christ as an organized body would cease
to exist The church must hold lose

portion as the Scriptural Lords day is
hallowed or profaned, and for this reason
all goddess forces in the land seek to blot
from the calendar this pearl Of days
Rev DR.. Frederick D. Power, Christian
church, Washington.
GODS PURPOSE.
God has motif. a purpose, a scheme,
well in mind, and He has in mind an
through its making and puts music into
it and measure and has motive for our
being and for our specific endowment,
and through us poor things though We
turn out to be, means to make life sweeter
for Others fuller of inspiration and might.

HAVE WE GAINED OR LOST2
We are an age of criticism. This age
has torn away a host of old beliefs a
process that would have made atheists
construct our view of the creation of tho
world. the creation of man and the in
spiration of the Scriptures. The question
that must come home to each thinking
Christian is. Have we replaced this be-
lief in many uneSsentials by great
