Dangerous Class-The men.who nth
ize forces of evil for their own aggran-
dizement, who seek to advance their
interests by the public service, are a
dangerous class.-Dr. #. II. Wines,

Sovereignty of Lore.--Let us say that
the kingdom of God is the sovereignty
of love, that it is the reign of justice.
Surely nothing less than that can sat
isfy the meaning of that :elm as Jesus
used it-Rev. William r. Brown, Com
gregationalist, Rochester, N Y.
Worship Worship is a common ne
cessity of all men. WORSHIP as we first
find It was COMMON With one family,
one tribe, one clan. one city, one state.
All had ysaainon worship because
they lad q common life.-Reg r. H.
Newton, Tpiscopalian, New York City.
Everyday Life, Jesus IN his teach
ings drew lessons from everyday life.
In this we are warranted in following
his example. We, too, must open our
eyes and see. We must watch the cur
rent movements Of thought-Rev Dr.
Dana, Presbyterian, Philadelphia, Pa
Christianity.-It is something moro
than a system of ethics, and has done
something more than bring a moral
code to man, otherwise it would have
failed, just as Buddhism failed to re-
deem the Orient, and philosophy failed
to redeem Greece.-Rev. Z. II, Swift,
Methodist. Chicago, H.

in the dross of humanity gain, the high
est interests of humanity. Rev. w g.

knowledge Ignorance and agnosti-
cism are Synonymous terms. There is
nothing the soul so much desires as
knowledge. There is nothing God so
much desires as to give men knoVl-
edge. Those, then who do not receive
this knowledge not only offend God,
but SANDER their own souls Rev. J.

knowledge of God. The thirst for
knowledge of God was never deeper
than it is at present. The cross was
more to Christians than all the mira
cles, for it reminded them of the sacrt
flee which Jesus had made. Out of tho
conception of the fatherhood OF God
had come the brotherhood Of man..
Rev. DR.. Meredith, Congregatonalisty

Permanence.-One of the things OF
greatest significance to-day Is the abb
sence of the element of permanence in
our life, which is the element of law IN
our institutions and especially in eccle-
sastical Institutions. We cannot in
vent a religion or create institutions
which give to religion ideas and their
expression permanent and inspiring
form. Bishop Potter, Episcopallan,
New York City.
Religion and Democracy. In the re-
latlon of religion and democracy there
is a growing lack Of respect for the law,
due to the secularization Of our
thoughts about government Until re-
form takes on the essential character
istcs Of religion III its recognition Of d
mystery in the affairs Of state, deeper
than the consent Of the individual win,
there can be no clear assurance of
saving rag-h to the nation. Rev. Br.
Gladden. Columbus, Ohio.
a True Man Whenever a true man
becomes possessed Of a principle that
IS Of value to humanity, he burns to
declare it, This is true in mechanics,
science and religion. The history OF
the world shows mankind as worship
ing multitude, longing for God. Ever
and anon we find some pure-hearted
aud clear-vlsloned one gaining lofty
summit. and so moss perfectly perceiv-
ing the truth CONCERNING G0d.-Rey. u.
G. Downey, Methodist, Br)oklyn, y. Y.
A Free Religion.--W While t Is trne
that our form of government is, i. es-
sentlals at least, clear reflex Of the
American mind, eur religion to a con
siderable extent, Is still an echo, crys-
tallized deposit from the Old World
We have not as yet given a natlonat
expression TO religion as we have 10
politics. But such an expression Is In
eyitable. A free people, with q free
press and free school, viii eventually
develop free religion. The dawn OF
such a church IS already visible in that
clear bold and magnificent clause in
our Constitution: No religious test
shall ever be required as qualifications
