the simple gateway Of everyday obedi-
ence.-Rev. DR.. Charles Ell. Parkhurst,

hope.-Rev. DIR. Ethelbert Talbot, Epis-
copal Bishop Of Central Pennsylvania

Putting the Most Into Life.
No occupation is so humble that it
cannot be ennobled and no occupation
SO honorable that it cannot be degrad-
ed. We should not try to see how
much we can get out of life, but how
much we can put into it.-Rev. Charles
G. Albertson, Germantown, Pa.
Se1fishnees Versus Sacrifice.
One principle runs through the uni
verse from top to bottom. Selfshness
is death, sacrifice is life and the path
way to more life. No object is SO tiny
as to escape this tWofold law and none
SO strong as to be beyond it's grasp
Rev. G. B. Wilmer. Episcopalian, At
lanta, Ga.
Must Have the Founders Faith.
The church Of Jesus, if it is to do it's
Founders work, must have its Found

Masters work without the Masters
aspiration, and it cannot have the Mas
ter's aspiration if it is lacking in his
inspiration. - Rev. Howard L. Jones,
Baptist, New York.
God Greater Than the Church.
God is greater than the church in
which he is worshiped. A beautiful
building only expresses the desire we
have to give him the best we have.
But sentiment for a church must never
be substituted for the worship of Je-
hovah. Rev. John Logan Marquis,
Presbyterian, Granville, Ind.
Desolation In Doubts Pathway.
The most useless thing in all this
world is doubt. 1t has left path of

contests, builds no empires. Con-
viction does. Believe your belief and
doubt your doubts.-Rev. DR.. Frank
Sneed, Presbyterian, Pittsburg.
The Uses of Solitude.
It is in solitude that we learn to
know ourselves, to appreciate our
strength and realize our weakness Our
hidden possibilities are aroused and our
talent powers developed. When we are
alone we hold our fullest communion
with God and realize our dependence
upon him.-Rev. John G. Bowers, Luz
theran, Washington.
