GODS UNCHANGING WILL.
Through this world there runs an I'M
broken purpose. From the beginning
until now there has swept on and on
one controlling principle Resistless,
nothing shall defeat it. Glorious, no man
shall finally deface it. Perfect, no lack
shall finally be found in it. 1t is the
will of God. Thoughts change, opinions
shift but one thing grows more real,
more precious each year. Behind us,
over us, beneath us and around US, the
will of Coda clear. amazing reality
stands out above all other things in
beauty and strength.-Rev. D. F. Fox,
ongregationalist, Chicago.
RELIGION THE BASE OF GOVERN
MENT.
So long as lack of religion and re-
ligious training remains characteristic
of the country. we cannot hope for best
results. Religion is the fundamental
principle of government. Government
is based upon religion, for religion
trains the soul to duty and to apprecia-
ton of liberty. Religion and religious
teaching must be recognized by our
people, and the precepts of religion
must be practiced generally. Civiliza-
ton is the result of religion, and it can
not continue to prevail without propa-
cation of religion and continuation of
religious practices and training.-Rev.
Thomas Walsh, Roman Catholic, st.
Louis.
