of All Denominations.

Gc1es Cleaned From the Teachings
of All Denominations.
According to the thoughts Of the
hearts of the wo"Shipcrs is the as-
ceptability of the form or ceremony
Rev. David Utter, Unity Church, Den
yer.
Conscience and Faith.
He who makes shipwreck of con-
science will make shipwreck of faith,
and he who makes shipwreck of faith
will make shipwreck of conscience
Rev. T. Ross Paden, Presbyterian, AL
legheny.
Spurious Faith.
\ spurious faith results in spurious
experience. Agnostics, skeptics and
theological eclectics are ignorant of
salvation and clean heart. They are
in their sins-Rev. DR.. S. II. Werlein,
Methodist, Kansas City.
BE Loyal to God.
The right loyalty is not so much to-
ward our own country as toward man
kind. SO the right religious loyalty
is not so much toward our church as
toward the kingdom.-Rev. Frank
Crane, Methodist, Chicago.
Combine For Christ.
Would that Christ'S servants might
learn the strategy of combining, Your
life purpose and mine are embers burn
ing family when apart, but flung to-
gether they shoot forth a merry flame.
Rev. S. Edward Young, Presbyterian,
Pittsburg.
Gods Requirements Are Easy.
God requires nothing that we cannot
do. His yoke is easy" his burden
light" Hence his is a reasonable
service" His inducements or prom
ises are also reasonable. He never
asks service for naught.-Rev. S. B.
Moore, Christian Church, st. Louis.
Out Upon Shams!
Out upon shams, Let us have truth
in the inward parts, Let us not de-
ceive ourselves, and let US not try to
deceive our neighbors! One thing is
certain. We cannot deceive God. He
looks into our hearts and judges us
accordingly. = Rev. DR.. Edwin c.
Sweetser, Universalist, Philadelphia.
God Is Everywhere.
The name of God is not in the en-
tire book of Esther, but God himself
is there The trend of philosophic
thought is that it is coming more and
more to recognize God in nature and
in history We find the working Of
God in Esther without miracles, but
through men and trivial incidents.
There is always a yet to the believer
Bishop Cyrus D. Foss, Methodist.
The Duality of Life.
My heart is dual; so is yours. Some
times / am just, and sometimes | am
merciful, and the two spirits within
me contend with one another. There
is both Sinai and Calvary in my soul.
And | have often, and so have you,
found mercy bowling down to my jus
tice that l might do a deed of charity
and forgiveness to another.-Rev. Ste
phen A. Northrop, Baptist, Kansas
City.
Let Not Your Hearts Lie Fal1Ow.
Christians, fallow Christians, are
they who try to serve God and NAM
mon. It is an impossible thing to do.
Break up the fallow ground in your
hearts. Let the plowshare Of the gos-
pei pulverize the crust of worldliness,
so that the sun of righteousness may
fructify the soil, new life permeate
your being and the salvation of souls
become your greatest concern.-Rev.
J. w. Jeffries, Methodist, Pittsburg.
The Value of TriHes.
Call nothing little which gives COM
fort, strength, courage or cheer to
human heart. A kindly handshake
when despair was wrapping soul in
folds of gloom and driving it to mad
ness saved a life from suicide. A SYM
pathetic word when one was about to
yield to a temptation which would
have left shame, dishonor and ruin
rescued a soul and saved it for purity,
beauty and heaven.-Rev. James r..
Miller, Presbyterian, Philadelphia.
Education's Worth.
Education and the increasing worth
of the individual through the multi
pied instruments OF culture anu re-
finement represent the enormous gains
for the people. What Newton's train
ed eye was to the stars, what Hugh
Miller's trained reason was to the
strata of rocks, that mans trained eye
is to Gods mountains, landscapes and
forests. Education is the power to
behold all and enjoy all.-Rev. DR..
Newell D. Hills, Congregationalist
Brooklyn.
Open Faith.
4 man called upon a minister in
Brooklyn and said, II come, sir, to in
quire if Jesus Christ will take me into
the concern as a silent partner" "Why
do you ask me?" said the minister.
Because 1 wish to be member of the
firm and do not wish anybody to know
it." said the man. The reply was:
Christ takes no silent partners. The
firm must be Jesus Christ & Co, and
the names of the company, though they
