The Very Best YhA1M.
Our age has somehow ABSORBED the
idea that Chrfstian living is a very
busy thing, asking little OF us and not
insisting very strenuously even on that
little. This is responsible for the easy
gAng religion Of our time, religion
which refuses to be harnessed to any
definite belief.-Rev. ]. K. Brennan,
Epsscopaiian, st. Louis
Test off Christianity.

faith, is holy spirit. The confessed

the love, JOY, peace and power of
Christian spirftuality.-Rev Dr.. Temp

before his teacher. With that receptive
disposition does the student Of nature
seek to solve it's mystery, learn its law
and know it's life.-Rev. ]. @. Horning,
Reformed Church, st. Louis.

So with our religious life. We must

Hunter, Presbyterian, Denver.

in some phase Of service and then,
alas, go out into utter darkness and
collapse Only the supernatural forces
