RECENT RELIGIOUS THOUGHT.


Science is the handmade of religion
and OF the Bible. Rev. M. Z. Peters,
Baptist, Brooklyn, n. Y.
RELIGIOUS MOVEMENT.
Any religious movement that is not
based upon scientifically demonstrated
truths will be failure. Prof. 7. Peck,
Agnostic, Bridgeport, Conn.
RELIGIOUS UNITY.
Religious unity is the basic principle
OF Chrlst'S Church. Ministers regret
the wide separation Of religious bodies.
Rev. I. j. Ducey, r. c., New York
City.
TWENTIETH CENTURY.
The twentieth century will clear away
many of the remaining points of dis
agreement between science and religion.
[Rev. I. F. Munger, New Haven, Conn.
MOSES.
Moses was a perfect man in compari-
son with the highest human ideals of
his time, but it was an incomplete per-
lection. Rev. c. 2. Smith, Methodist,
Minden, La.
LIVE RIGHT.
Live right, think right, be right, and
heaven will come from within yourself,
and you will enjoy it outwardly. This
is the law and gospel of your being.
Rev. +. 3. Mason, Spiritualist, Brook
lyn, n. Y.
THE GOLDEN RULE.
That man lives best who comes near
est to living up to the golden rule. Live
close to this and you will not go far
until you find yourself in communion
with the Most High. Rev. }. B. Robbins,
Methodist, Atlanta, Ga.
GRAND VICTORY.
We believe the prayers and efforts Of
the saints, of the prophets, poets, Christ
and the apostles, will be answered and
Will culmlnate in a grand victory; that
sin will be no more. Rev. NJ. Crossley,
Unlversalist, Indianapolis, Ind.
FINAL UNION.
It seems likely that the final union of
religion and science will mean that re-
llgion will consist of a belief in some
infinite power, and that whatever such
power may be it must follow immutable
laws. DR.. J. p Arnold, Trenton, N. J..
TRUTH.
Truth is given to be translated into
life and law and institution. 1t will
exact price at our hands. No man is
worthy to know the truth who is not
willing to pay the price Rev. William
L. Brown, Congregationalist, Roches-
ter, n. Y,
In this city, the maintenance of law
is In the hands of those who are profit
ing by the violation of law. Many of
those who at present feel most outraged
by the conduct of our city government
are not without guilt themselves. TProf.
Felix Adler, Ethical Culture, New York
City.
CHURCH AND RELIGION.
Old ideas of church and religion are
on the Wane and the churches that hold
their people to-day do it on a distinctly
more material basis than in years gone
by. There must be a deeper religious
feeling among the people. Rev. W. G.
Todd, Unitarian Kansas City, Mo,
SUNDAY SCHOOL.
1t is easier to grow Christians than to
manufacture them. The very feeder
and creator of civilization itself is the
Sunday school. The teacher carries one
of the keys that unlocks the doors of
the future. He deals with immortal
souls, which can never die. Rev. A.
Bllkovsky, Universalist, Baltimore, Nd
A NEW LIFE.
1t is for us to think and turn and not
to delay. We are living in an age that
is sublime. If there be any here who
are not on the right way, | urge you to
turn your feet and recognize the posi-
bllities of a new life, rich experiences
and closer fellowship with God. REV.
j. w. Robbins, Methodist, Akron, o.
RIGHT THINKING.
Right thinking must ever maintain it's
Importance as lying back of all right
living, yet there is truth in the saying
of John Wesley, that man may be as
orthodox as the devil and as wicked.
The teaching of the Apostle is that the
devils believe and shudder Rev. D..
p. Marvin, Congregationalist, Asbury
Park, n. J.
THE VALUE OF MEN,
We measure the worth of man by
asking how much he is worth. In no
age has money been SO accepted as the
common denOminator of the value of
men and their lives. The spirit of the
age is characterized by the accumula-
ton of, the respect for, and the desire
to properly use money. Rev. S. Schul-
man, Hebrew, New York City.
PHYSICIANS OF SOULS.
Christ died ON the cross, but he rose
on the glad Easter day. Let the day
bring this thought: that we must rise
too. Let us look out upon the world
and see what we can do as physicians
OF souls and hearts. All, it will take
patience and work, and perhaps after
all we may never quite understand.
Rev. DR.. Brown, Methodist, New Or
leans, La.
ACCEPTANCE OF CHRIST.
The new century will, to my mind re-
suit in more universal acceptance of
the teachings Of Christ on the part of
those who heretofore have scoffed and
doubted. The teachings of Christ have
endured for almost 1000 years, despite
the marvellous strength and activity of
some of the brainiest intellects history
records. Men are being drawn to Christ
through scientific researches, and the
greater the progress of science the
greater the progress of Christianity
Rev. W. II. Becker, Bridgeport, Conn.
POWER OF WEALTH.
1t would be more dangerous to have
the lower and less educated class secure
the tremendous power of wealth than
tine present privileged few. By the force
