some good for others, and these ear
nestly pursued, OF we do not reach the
happy life.-Rev. David Utter, Unity
Church, Denver.
A stone For Bread.
Think of a minister running about
seeking a text that touches a popular
chord that he may have an audience!
Starving men are today crawling to the
pulpit for bread and too often receiv-
ing cold, polished diamonds of rhetoric.
Rev. DR.. F. w. Gunsaulus, Central
Church, Chicago.
The New Theology.
We are beginning to learn that there
is a human life in God; that there is a
divine life in man; that God is best
seen in humanity: that humanity is
never seen at its best and truest self
except as God dwells in it and makes
it divine.-Rev. DR.. Lyman Abbott,
s~ongregationalist, Brooklyn.
No Soul FavOritism.
Christ'S gospel of democracy knows
no soul favoritism. All men, as sim
nerS. stand in need of Gods mercy.
All must repent. There is no gospel for
a class, no compromise with upright
eousness because of high position. The
rich man who steals is a thief as surely
as the poor man.-Rev. e. L. Powell,
Christian Church, Louisville.
Poor Indeed.
That man is poor indeed whose soul
is covered with the dust Of the brokers'
office. One of the Rothschilds, who
bought an entire issue of British bonds
for $20,000,000, said just before his
death, 81 am not happy" Girard, one
of the noblest of our financiers, said, Il
am never happy."-Rev. DR.. Charles II.
Eaton, Universalist, New York.
Americas Mortuary.
The evil is not in being rich, but the
evil lies along the road to riches, lies
in the way in which they are acquired.
The whirlwind of American CONNER
cial life is the nations great mortu-
airy. 1t is the intoXication Of excite
ment that covers the golden highway
to wealth with brilliant wreckage.-
Rev. Henry Irving Rasmus, Methodist,
Chicago.
POrtents of the Coming Day.
Strikes and riots, concentrations of
capital and formidable alliances Of la
Dor are but prophecies of the coming
day when unrest shall not burden the
heart, when fretful discomfort shall
give way to a divine noncontentment,
which shall insure progress without
pain and the common good without the
sacrifice of personal rights.-Bishop
Samuel Fallows, Reformed Episcopal,
Chicago.
The Method of Jesus.
The method of Jesus in saving souls
is by the gentle, powerful influences
of God, not by mere force and strength.
1t is not the things that are most noisy
and demonstrative that accomplish the
most in this world. In nature it is not
the roar of the storm that accomplishes
the most for the growth Of vegetation,
but the gentle raindrops that cause the
seeds to spring up. These are the
mighty, silent forces in nature. So it is
in receiving grace. He would not force
the will of man, but rather make them
willing.-Rev. DR.. w. b. Noble, Pres
byterian, Redlands, Cal.
