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


friends. Truth is loyal to those who
love her-Rev. Frederick E. Hopkins,
Congregationalist, Chicago.
Christianity and Women.
Christianity puts the crown of glory
on woman's brow and exalts her to
throne of loving dominion in every
land where Christianity is dominant
Rev. DR.. Robert S. Macarthur, BaL.
tist New York.
The Choice Young Man.
He is the choice young man who, con-
tent with his inconspicuousness, is
none the less like city that lieth four
square physically, mentally, socially
and spiritually-Rev. D. f. Fox, Coli
gregationalist, Chicago.
The Only Great Service.
The world is none too greatly in love
with OUT churches. 1t knows what we
ought to know that the only service OF
God that counts here or anywhere else
is the service of men.-Rev. Francis ri.
Rowley, Baptist, Boston.
The Church In America.
The church of God in our land is
great lighthouse a mighty wall of de-
Tense, a vast, fructifying river with its
many tributaries, carrying blessing to
all parts Of our land.-Rev. t. III. Ach-
eson, Presbyterian, Denver.
First whispers of Undying Peace.
Gods comforts are the first whispers
of undying peace. Be patient, be. faith
full, be not despairing, but set upon
your face as flint against the sin and
trust in God and in his Christ.-Rev.
Edmund Burk, Episcopalian, Philadel-
phia
Christ's Religion Is Not a Theory.
The religion of Christ appeals to the
righteousness, truth and justice of any
man who examines into it. 1t is no
blind theory. The whole of mans best
nature rises up and acknowledges the
justice of Christ's claims.-Rey. DR..
Rice, Presbyterian, Atlanta.
A Decoration of Shame.
If God were to decorate with mill
stone as a medal for dishonor those
who caused little ones who believe in
Christ to stumble, how many would
be surprised to find themselves thus
decorated.-Rev. Dr. G. L. Thurgood,
Christian Church, Pittsburg.
Helpers of the Truth.
The railroad, the telephone, the ca
BILE, the newspaper-all these are the
helpers of the divine evangel in that
they make it impossible for wicked
ness to hide or for any man to suffer
wrong and be long unheeded by the
Christian heart Of the world.-Rev. DR..
Louis A. Banks, Methodist, New York.
The World Needs Christ.
The world needs a divine, a supernat
ural Christ The first century had a
supernatural Christ and crucified him,
but he rose again and has been walk
ing across the centuries with ever
lengthening strides. The twentieth
century must reckon with the first
century Christ, for he belongs to every
century. He is the same yesterday, to-
day and fOrever-Rev. DR.. Herbert E.
Foss, Methodist, Philadelphia.
Cause and Effect.
It is as childish to look for holiness
when we have not provided the cause
as for 40 bushels of wheat to the acre
from an unsowed, unplowed field. God
Illness is an effect which has a cause
that works under law as accurately
as a stone falls to the earth under the
power of gravitation and whose rate
of increase is as computable as the
speed of the stones descent.-Rev. DR..
Teunis S. Hamlin, Church Of the Gov
enant, Washington.
Life.
Life is a great sounding board. 1t
gives back to us what we do and say.
It is a vast mirror, looking into which
we see ourselves. Good things give
themselves to us as we give ourselves
to them. What we are to the objects
and the people round us, that are they
unto US. A mans surroundings reply
and respond to what he says and what
he does and especially to what he is.
Life portrays life.-Rev. W. T. McEl-
veen, Congregationalist, Boston.
Do Not Syndicate Your Sorrows.
To become old is not necessarily to
grow old. There are young old peo-
pie. Do not brood over the past. The
golden age is in the future. Forget
all the unhappy experience you have
had. Do not syndicate your sorrows
and worries. Organize trust and
keep all your miseries to yourself.
Remember that there are a thousand
things in life to cheer us to each one
that can sadden us.-Rev. Madison c.
Peters, Baptist, Brooklyn.
Personal Misfits.
The man who is afraid to do good
or even to do right, who hangs to his
| minimum and his meanness for fear
the next generation will not be equal
to his highest, believes not in God, dis
trusts spirit, represents the only kind
of lic1nn q nd ~ ism that are 70
