ernment.-Rev. c. J. Hall, Peoples Tab

MEN. NOT MONEY, WANTED.

ion will call men back to it's service
and will accept nothing in place Of
themselves.-Dr. w. J. Tucker, Presi-
dent Dartmouth College.

lowers, and sidewalk gambling is
spreading. Gambling makes thieves of
men, it drives them to suicide.-Rev. j.

grace-that is, of privilege-we are Civ
en- wider liberty in order that we may
by the Divine Spirit lift ourselves to a.

system of compulsion.-Rev.s c. b. VIII

OLD FASHIONED WAY BEST
I have found that the people who are
doing the most TO save the souls of
others are the ones who have their own
souls saved in the old fashioned way
by personal salvation and turning to
the way of Jesus Christ.-Rey. John
Mcneil, Evangelist, Philadelphia.
DOUBT AND BELIEF.
It requires no intellectual strength
to doubt Any fool can do that 1t re
quires intellectual strength to believe
the Bible and to understand that AL
mighty God holds the rudder of the
ship and guides the whole movement
of history.-Dr Alexander Allison,
Methodist, BRISTOL, Pa.
CANNOT SERVE TWO MASTERS.
Those who desire to have and enjoy
the pleasures of the world and at the
same time serve God-to serve two
nlasters-must fail. They have not
sufficient time to give to God, and the
cares of this world choke the good
seed. Rev. Father Boardman, Roman
Catholic, San Francisco.

incarnation and the atonement? Dear
brothers, we know these things be-
cause they have been shown to us, just
We cannot know the how, but we have
faith. and we believe.-Bishop Scar
borough. of New Jersey.
IGNORANCE AND ANARCHISM.
We are not prepared to expel the
false prophets nor to muzzle free

We must delve deeper, to the cause, in
order TO find a remedy. Then we will,
in all probability, find that these con-
ditions have been created by ignorance.
Bishop Henry c. Potter, Episcopalian,
New York.
THE MISSIONARY SPIRIT.
AS the heart sends the blood into ev-
cry fiber of the system and then draws
it back to it's source, invigorating the
whole body, SO the Christian spirit
sends men to the confines of the earth
and then sweeps back with undiminish-
ed power to strengthen the church at
home.-Right Rev. L. L. Kinsolving,
Bishop of Brazil.
LIFE ONLY A LOWER SCHOOL.
If it be true that this is only the
school of our race and that
death is but the passage ON and into
the next grade and that all souls
through no matter what of necessary
sorrow and discipline-are to be trained
and developed into all of which they
are naturally capable, then all prob
lens of disease and pain and evil are
DIR. Minot ]. Savage,
Unitarian, New. York.
REJOICE IN GOOD.
If you have done good, be glad and
rejoice in it. God does; why not you,
MS child2. 1t is not a proper humility
to lie even to yourself. You need not
stand in the market place calling the
oud roll of the good things you think
% music in your heart and sing unto
he Lord a new song every day because
If them.-Rev. DIR. Beverley Warner,

ZENS.
With the character of her citizenship |
he nation stands or falls. He must |
De no pessimist, but an optimist, with |
aith in God and humanity and the flu |
