Sin No Pleasure.
The Ideal Home.

The 11o81 Home
The intelligence and self control
which the life in the world is bringing
to woman, added to her distinctly fem
mime qualities, will in the end produce
in some form the ideal home.-Rev
Wilson M. Backus, Unitarian, Chicago.
What Salvation Is.
What, then, is the salvation that is
worthy Of preaching today that will fit
the lives and thoughts of the people
of our world? 1t is salvation from
future sin. We leave the past with
God. = Rev. David Utter, Unitarian,
Denver.
God the Basis of Law.
We must recognize that God is at
the basis of gRod government; that we
cannot have righteous laws rightly
maintained without a strong Christian
spirit in the hearts of the people.-Rev.
DR.. Stephen w. Dana, Presbyterian,
Philadelphia.
Tyranny Result of Sin.
The Son Of God recognizes all tyran-
ny, wrong and oppression to be the re-
suit Of sin and selfishness. The mil
1ennium will never come until enough
are on earth who have the spirit Of
Christ to rule it.-Rev. Henry f. Lutz,
Christian Church, Williamsburg, Pa.
Gods Test.
The refiner of metal sits above it
and is not satisfied until the surface Of
the seething metal reflects clearly his
image. So God sets the same test upon
his children here, as they are made to
show in their lives his own image and
character.-Rev. r. E. Fakes, Atlanta.
Free Will.
What a man does and is he chooses
to do and be. His acts have the quail
tty of moral goodness or of moral bad
ness, and render him the proper object
of commentator if the former, or Of
reprobation if the latter.-Rev. DR.
Thomas L. Allen, Episcopalian, Cazeno-
via, n. 7.
Practicing Immortality.
Live as you ought to live if life goes
on forever and the future is the har-
vest of the present. Think as you must
think if there is a day after today and
the eternal years of God belong to
truth and justice and righteousness
DR.. Washington GLADDEN., Congrega-
tionalist, Columbus, o.
Advice to Young Men.
Young men, aim so to live right in
your own communities that men will
believe in you, that men will say of
you, 81 have tried him, | have trusted
him, l have watched him, and he's
true steel" I'd rather have men say
that of me than wear all the crowns in
terrain, Rochester.
Holy Work.
The investigator, the searcher of
truth, who discovers some better meth
cd of sanitation or some way Of max
ing the tenement districts more healthy
or the home life or school life of poor
children more bearable may be doing
as holy work as any great revivalist
who can be named.-Rev. Camden NJ.
Cobern, Methodist, Chicago.
Christ's Wireless TeIegraphy.
Prayer brings the Heavenly Father
piled a wireless system of telegraphy
by which all faithful Christians. no
matter where they may be or how sit
uated, can always and instantly COM
municate their wants and desires to
their Heavenly Father.-Rev. J. A. Gaz-
away, African Methodist Episcopal,
Pittsburg.
The Test of Fire.
Fire tests buildings of brick, stone
and wood, and only the substantial
survive it's ravages. When mans
character is defective, it will be eventu-
ally revealed. The fire will test it.
Only the indwelling of Jesus Christ
will enable man to withstand the test
when it comes, as come it will sooner
or later.-Rev. Edward p. CoWan, Sec
rotary Freedman's Board, Presbyterian
Church
Man Above the Animals.
Man differs from the mere animal in
that he possesses high and holy aspira-
lions. You may satisfy an animal with
food and shelter, but you cannot thus
satisfy mankind. The problem Of So
ciology, therefore, is not alone better
tenement, better clothing, better trans
portation, purer food, important as is
every item in this list. The problem is
as fundamental as the difference be-
tween man the animal and man the
immortal spirit, with longings for fell
lowship and sympathy and recognition
and love.-Rev. w. L. Davidson, Meth
odisf Raw Ridge N r.
