onslaught on the sins of today. Give
me any reason why there should he a
church and that is the reason why it
should be united. No argument, no rea-
soning. could convince me that any
thing for which Jesus prayed is not
both desirable and expedient.-Rev. j.
L. Pounds, Akron, Ohio.
Value of the SouI.-The gain of
earth goes no farther than the grave,
and the treasures OF earth have no
purchasing power in heaven. The
value of the soul is inestimable. 1t
cost infinite love to redeem us, and the
Redeemer says We shall profit most if
we follow Him, for our soul is so prec-
ious we can give nothing in exchange
for it.-Rev. George Adams, Method
list, Brooklyn, N. Y. =
Gifts of God.-Our physical traits,
our mental endowments, are gifts of
God, and the same thing is true of the
moral virtue we may possess. The eX-

slowed by the grace of God, and in
these. as well as in character itself,
we see colors as diverse as the tints
of a rainbow.-Rev. DR.. Stevenson,
Presbyterian, New York.

the one totally complete, fully
furnished man. And because this is

mis- utterance respecting the moral con
dition OF human natuTe.-ReV. j. l..
Withrow, Congregationalist, Boston,

The Words of Christ.-The words OF
Christ have a permanent and an abid-
ing interest throughout the world.
They are as true and as convincing as
they we're a thousand years ago, and
will be as convincing and vital a thou
sand years hence as they are today.
Kingdoms and empires may change,
science may startle the world by its
discoveries, but the word OF the Lord
abideth forever-Cardinal Gibbons,
Roman Catholic, Baltimore, Md.
Chief Fact.-The chief fact about
any nation is its religion. The mea
ure OF the energy of faith is also the
of the energy of national life.
Ignorance is not the mother Of devo-
ton. nor of anything else that is
worthful. The intelligent conscience
is the true power that makes for per
manent national life. This intelligent
conscience is to a large extent given
by our Sunday schOols.-Rev. DR.. Hull,
Baptist, Brooklyn, n. Y.
mmortality.-Tmmortality? What is
there to die2 This physical yesture,
that is all. What is there to live? The
soul, the man VINO sleeps for a short
time. but who, like his Lord, shall rise
the third day. And how shall he live?
In his spiritual body. into the full use
and freedom of which he shall now
come. Ii shall be no unreal, ghostly
life, but more than ever a perfectly
embodied life.-Rey. Julian X. Smyth,
Swedenborgian, New York city.
