UNITY OF THE FAITH.
BY Rev. g. H. Simmons.

The church of the future will not only
be free from state control, but will also
be free from controlling the state. The
church that NEEDLES in politics. or the
affairs of state, commits as serious a
bunder as it would should it seek to
control and govern business. Here from
time to time are enunciated principles. 1t
is your solemn duty. according TO the ca
pacity you have. to receive the same, and
go from here to apply and fit them into
all things, whether business or politics
that have to do with the business and
bosoms of men. For this reason l do not
like series of written rules Centuries
ago Israel asked the Lord to give them
rules or laws that they might know
what to do. aud what not to do In an
swer to their request God gave them
laws Of such majesty and strength that
the intellect of the ages has never CON
ceived anything of the kind equal or
comparable thereto. When the laws
were read. Israel adopted the same. and
promised to do and perform them. They
failed and so has every generation. Lay
sound principles over against your task
and you will not be troubled about rules
and laws. If man adopts the princi-
PIT VI lIulu III an thlllES+ a EUif against
lying is unnecessary; or if he takes hon
esty as principle. what need is there to
say. Thou shalt not steal?" Or if he
wants to have a healthy mind and vigor-
Gus body. principle will demand the sew
cpth day for rest and worship. Nor
should the church seek to take the place
Of conscience. Conscience is judge, and
if given correct standard. its Judgment
will be infallble and from their sentence
there is no escape. | plead for the SOW
ereignty of man. God made you nov
ing, thinking creature in order that the
duty of life and the glory of the God
head might rest upon you. A man who
has principles, born in the matrix of fact.
is greater than any form or creed, writ
ten law or institution.
The church for which we are hoping
will be inspirational and encouraging. 1t
will take great deal more time and
pains to show its appreciation of what
man is. and what he has done, than to be-
rate him for what he is not, and for what
he has not done. | may be wrong, btlt i'll

HE KNOWS Us.
BY Rev. }. r, Lsseas o.

BY Rev. J. x. LsEcas aF.
He knew what was in nan.--John H.,
knowledge of man is of two sorts.
First, the knowledge of man as he is
the actual man: second. the knowledge
of man as he is TO be-the possible man.
When it is declared that Christ knew
what was in man, there was reference 10
the possibilities within him. Now, it is
rot very difficult accomplishment TO tell
what man has done, or what he is; but it
is extremely so to give prophetic speech.
As Americans, we are to-day sitting
with pencil in hand counting up the num-
Der of dollars in our Golfers, how many
people we are, how many islands and
ships and guns are ours. We have thus
arrived at a general estimate of our
strength We have even dared to figure
back through the century and measure
and weigh our progress for a hundred
years But how many have dared tell
what our nation will be century henceg
Some have ventured, but it has been of
fantastic and humorous character and
was not meant. 1t is unsafe TO play the
prophet.
We are usually left to work out our
own salvation with fear and trembling.
He knew what was in man, that is. He
knew what there was to come out of him
if only the opportunity were allowed. He
looked down the centuries; down, even
past our present generation and thou
sand years beyond it, and saw the man of
the future-the perfect man; and it was
to this man that lie addressed much of
His truth that seems hard to comprehend.
When He spoke of faith. saying that if
! hnr~ FnYt a,x1 lin ma.
could work wonders; when He mentioned
the perfect man, stating that he could
esehew all evil and be perfect as He was
perfect; when He mentioned love and
commanded that we should love even cur
| enemies, that we should do good unto
those who despitefuily use us, we Instinc
lively exclaini, as did his auditors then,
How can these things be"' We are in
clined to squeeze these and kindred great
truths into the narrow confines of our
contracted hearts. and. because there is
n misfit. say that such things cannot be
so. such living is not ours to have,
we cannot attain unto it, only One
has done so, that was Christ.
Thus we do Christ and His word an
injustice. Rather should we pray to grow
that we might approach unto these
| truths, that we might magnify the heart
rather than minify the Word. 1t would
have been very unwise for the Lord to
have spoken half truths to have accom-
modal I'd our little existence He spoke
whole truth; He addressed the ultimate
man. and it is our business to grow into
J that truth and not deny it nor minimize
| it. and sometime we shall know the length
and breadth and height and depth of
! Christ's life. We shall even know as we
| are known.

THE MEANING OF FAITH.
BY Rev. John P. Brushingham, d. D..

A right apprehension of God if the real
basis Of faith. One divine personality,
one divine essence. with three personal
distinctions - Omnipotent, Omniscient,
Omnipresent-all-p all-kn0wing,
everywhere present, changeless, God who
is. and is a rewarder Of all who dili-ent
ly seek him. All faith is the same
faith is faith The object of faith differs.
Faith in man makes commerce inteiua-
tiunal and business relations possible.
Faith in the God Of nature makes Aved
time and harvest possible. Faith Ii the
God Of grace makes religion possible.
Without faith it is impossible 10 please
God or live comfortably with our fellow
men. 1t is not faith in 4 dead dogma
but faith in living. loving personality
This kind If faith is not a theory IF re
Hgion, but the power Of religion which
brings God 10 man and Tnan to God
through the vinculum Of faith.
Faith is opening the door 10 let in the
light. 1t is a gift Of God, but Sod gives
!. 10 all. That is. he gives the power 10
believe. the choice Of being ike a plant
that grows upon the sunny side Of the
house.

Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton may truly
be called the grand old woman" of the
suffragists. She was one of the signers
Of the call for the first woman suffrage
convention. which was held at Seneca

only signer Of that call who has stuck 10
her colors throughout the years and has
never tagged in the work then begun. al
though she has faced storms and hurri-
canes of ridieule and vituperation.
Mrs. Stanton was born of Puritan an
cestry at Johnston n. Y. Nov. Il. 1916.
Her father was distinguished lawyer Of
the time. She was educated at Mrs. Will

ried in 1910. went abroad. and on her re-
turn took up abolition. No convention Of
woman suffragists was complete without
Mrs. Stanton.
When Mrs. StantOn's father, Judge
Cady, heard of her resolution. THAT 1t is
the duty of the women of this country to
secure to themselves their sacred rights
to the elective franchise" he was inn
pressed with the idea that her mind had
become deranged and FASTENED from
Johnstown to Seneca Falls to care for
her. He tried to reason with her On
the elective franchise question, but failed
20 move her from her purpose.
