vidual laggards.-Rev. Henry w. Pink

Unity of EVIL.
False teachers support one another.

Nothing without Christ.
No civilization civilizes If Christ, the
center of all power Is forgotten; no
education educates if Christ is left
out.-Rev. DR.. Henry G. Minton, Pres
byterian General Moderator, San Fran
cisco.
Atheistic Lives.
The multitude never think of God
except in time Of trouble, adversely
and death. Many are living atheistic
lives, though they may not accept the
atheist creed.-Rev. w. H. Carwar-
dine, Methodist, Chicago.
Soul of the Bible.
The religion of Christians Is not the
Bible in all it's parts, but first of all
that portion which is it's soul, by which
the teaching of prophets and apostles
must be judged-the very words of Je-
sus.-Rev. John Watson Gan Macla-
rem, Presbyterian, Liverpool.
Various Deaths.
Death physical is the separation of
the soul and body; death spiritual is
the separation of the soul from God;
death eternal is the permanence of this
alienation from the life of Godfrey.
Thomas j. Porter, Presbyterian, Ok.
ford, o.
Merry Saints.
The churches today need more
merry saints-men and women who
realize that laughter is God given and
that cheerfulness of disposition is
daily blessing, for too many people
hug the fallacy that tears are somehow
more sacred than smiles.-Rev. DR.. f.
j. Mallett, Episcopalian, Beloit, Wis.
Good Is Immortal.
One thing is certain-this new CEN
tIry holds the day of our passing from
this world. Things will outlast us-our
/ books, our furniture, even the marks
our pen scratches upon paper-but if
we live worthily ard work nobly the
influence of what we are and do shall
not pass.-Rev. DR.. Wayland Hoyt
Baptist, Philadelphia.
Bible Needed.
Again, it is written, "If a man love
me, he will keep my words" But how
is it possible for man to keep those
words of which he has no knowledge?
And how is it possible for man to
have knowledge of the words of the
Lord without thoughtful, diligent and
prayerful study of the Bible?-Rev. H.
2. Aston, Baptist, Atlanta.
Leave the Mysterious Alone.
If life is short, then | think it will be
wiser on my part to leave the mysteri-
GUS alone. | think so. Why so? Be-
cause life is short. We cannot do ev-
erything We had better, therefore,
make selection and attend to those
things we can get hold of and work to
the souls best advantage.-Rev. Joseph
Parker, D. D., City Temple, London.
All Men Alike.
Virtue and vice, intelligence and ig-
norance, and all the other human quail
tiles and faults are so little matter
of monopoly, are so well distributed,
that dip from the ocean of humanity
ut any point will reveal about the
same assortment of human fish as will
another dipperful from another point
of that ocean.-Rev. Charles Fleischer,
Hebrew, Boston.
Money and Peace.
One cannot say of the rich that they
are the happiest class in the communi-
ty, and 1t would be curious comment
ON the providence of God If it were
true. Peace of mind is quite independ-
! ent of bank account. 1t depends more
upon the mental and spiritual attitude
| of the soul than on we'll filled pocket
: book.-Rev. DR.. George II. Hepworth.
Congregationalist New York.
