RELIGIOUS THOUGHT.
Gems Cleaned From the Teachings
of All Denominations.

VI All
The core of the cancer of sin is in
selfishness. - Rev. Dr. John Lindsay
Withrow, Presbyterian, Boston.
Citizenship and Duty.
Remember that your citizenship is in
heaven and your duty here ON the earth
below.-Rev. James Heaney, Presbyte-
rian, Philadelphia.
How tic SUGge.
A mans life is to be judged by his
ideals, by what he aims at, not by what
he has achieved.-Rev. Hugh Black,
Free Church, Edinburgh.
Only the Good May Know.
Be sure that the language of divine
things can never be understood by the
wicked.-Rey. Herbert Yeuell, Chris
tan Church, Pittsburg.
Good Cure.
Let me give you one more prescrip-
ton. If you want to be cured of
grumbling, go to work.-Rev. DR.. z.
S. Henson, Baptist, Chicago.
Use of Strength.
God does not make a man strong
simply that he may be strong, but that
he may help others to get strong
Rev. r. G. Hobbs, Methodist, Spring
field, Ill.
Crime of SeIfshness.
Selfishness is the most wretched form
Of spiritual poverty. Life loses in the
proportion in which it withholds itself
and gains by all it gives.-Rev. c. ].
TInn 1n'e TroI 10
UnpurchnsabIe Peace.
There is peace in unselishness, in
cheerfulness in resignation, and it is
peace which no mere power of gold
can acquire.-Rev. DR.. George II. Hep
worth, Congregationalist, New York.
A Shining Light.
The Bible then, we see, towers high
above all other books. AS the suns
light eclipses the light of the candle,
even so the Bible outshines all the
works of men.-Rev. H. P. Aston, Bap-
fist, Atlanta.
Watch Your Children.
In the name of God watch your chill
dren. Better be seemingly harsh that
their souls may truly live here and
hereafter than be weak and foolish
Rev. f. p. Dougherty, Catholic, Phila-
deS)hia.
The Better Prayer.
1t is easy to pray for rain. 1t is
more difficult to pray that God will
keep this great rich nation humble be-
fore him and obedient to all his laws.
Torop,iSb CNroT,or tiop
alist, st. Louis.
Immortality.
Man may be cramped and narrowed
down and confined to doubt or dark
ness, to poverty or infdelity, but
whisperings within his soul speak of
an endless life.-Rev. DR.. w. D. Will
Hams, Little Rock, Ark.
TsuGt In Gods Care.
God never sends a man on a mission
e1ithout having first prepared the way.
Follow his directions, do your part,
and evil take care of the rest.-Rey.
E. D. w. Jones, African Methodist
Episcopal, Allegheny City, Pa.
Civic Virtue Needed.
There has to be higher type of civic
virtue in all this country than is now
generally exhibited or the power and
leisure that applied science has given
us will prove a curse and not a bless
ing.-Rev. David Utter, Unitarian, Den
yer.
Faith.
All the great problems of life and du-
ty are ultimately solved by faith and
not by reason. The human mind il
helpless in the presence of all questions
that touch infnity, and yet infnity
hedges us round about on every side
Rev. Bruce Brown, Christian Church,
Denver.
Death but an Incident.
Death is merely an incident in mans
life. After the soul has departed and
all that is mortal of us has been con-
signed to the dust from which we were
created, man still continues to live, for
then it is tnat we receive a spiritual
body. - Rev. H. Branson Richards,
Lutheran, Philadelphia.
God In Nature.
l think the church has done wrong,
though unwittingly, when it has
taught that Gods presence is more
real within the four walls of chapel,
or at the altar, than it is at the foot of
grand old tree or on the shore of a
beautiful lake.-Rev. DR.. Charles H..
Eaton, Universalist, New York.
Regeneration Needed.
Except a man-eXcept you-be born
again you cannot see the kingdom Of
God, and may God write it indelibly
on the heart of every one that there is
no true Christianity without a renewal
of heart, of affections, of motives-a
complete regeneration, new birth by
the spirit of Godfrey. Robert r. Lit
tel, Union Presbyterian Seminary.
Are You Forging Your Chain.
Watch the man who is spending his
inheritance for the paltry joys of A
passing hour. Watch him. | say, and
there will come a time when he will
"come to himself"-aye, come to him
self, disgusted with himself and the
world, disappointed man; for sin is
not the finding Of ones liberty, but
rather the forging of ones chain.-Rev.
DR.. G. Campbell Morgan, Evangelist
Two Methods of Service
