| The Worlds Life.-Christ is the
worlds life.-Rev. F. e. Taylor, Bap-
tist, Brooklyn, N. Y.
True Means.-The religious element
is the true means of settling disputes.
-Archbishop Ryan, Roman Catholic,
Philadelphia, Pa.
The Nation.-The nation will always
be just as good and as safe as the In
dividuals composing it.-Rev. P. Barr,
New Bedford, Mass.
AS the Master Bids.-If one love God
as the Master bids he can grasp every
hand offered in the same love.-Rev.
DR.. Byrd, Methodist, Atlanta, Ga.
Downward-The man who contin-
ues downward only accelerates his
own movement, and return becomes
more and more difficult.-Rev. ]. @.
Smith, indianapolis, Ind.
The Outward Visage.-The kind of
life one leads even leaves its marks
upon the outward visage., The body
we wear is self's eXternalization.-
i Rev. R. NJ. Black, Episcopal, Brooklyn,
N. Y.
Deathless Hope.-Christ emancipat-
ed the soul from the thraldom Of self
and sin, and supplied us with energy
for victory by girding us with the
might of deathless hope.-Rev. ]. D.
Freeman. Baptist, Toronto, Canada.
Good Of Humanity.-It is good to feel
the heart beat stronger in anticipation
of some object when that object en-
braces not alone our little selves but
the great good of humanity:-Rev. DR..
Bisbee, Universalist, Boston, Mass. ...
Church Stronger.-The church Is
stronger to-day than ever before, and
what gives the church its present pow
er Is the fact that it has proved to be
the greatest agency under God for the
elevation of the race.-Rev. c. ]. Hall,
Denver, Colo.
Fundamental Thing.-If the spirit
of honor and righteousness Is not pres
ent among men we cannot expect the
laws to work well, for the fundamental
thing is the kind Of men behind the
laws.-Rev. F. Phalen, Unitarian,
Worcester, Mass.
For Eternity.-It is we'll to live for
tO-udy, uul uc w uO lives ulS DeSt IOr To-
day lives also for eternity. Heredity
is fact that reaches further than we
think. A Christian father sends his
religion down to generations.-Rev.
DR.. Burrell, New York.
In the Best Sense-A man may be
great in many senses, but he cannot
be great in the best sense unless he
~ HIT,
his own life and regards himself as be-
ing led by the Almighty.-Rev. DR..
Wrigley, Episcopal, Brooklyn, N. Y.
A Good Thing.--It is a good thing for
both capital and labor that the whole
country is little chilly. Conscience is
being stirred, new laws will be enact
ed, both capital and labor will see their
mutual relations more clearly.-Rev.
DR.. McCollester, Detroit, Mich.
Close Up Her Ranks.-If the
church of Jesus Christ ever does the
work which her divine Lord has asked
her to do, she must close up her ranks.
A church divided into sects and denom-
nations is not the church which he Or
ganized.-Rev. DR.. Harlan, Omaha,
Neb.
Christian Life.-What men need to
make them Christians is not to be bet
ter convinced of Christian truth, but to
fall in love with Christian life. The
world is not reading the Bible much;
it Is reading the lives Of those who pro-
fess to believe it.--Rev. P. Pinch, Con-
gregationalist, Chicago, Ill.
| E,,f,x, Tha f11t,1 hoe
saved any man. If he is saved at all,
it was in the present-now. We have
no lease on the future; no. 1t Is dam
gerous to trust the souls salvation to
the deceptive future. To-day the Sa-
vior calls; not tomorrow or some time
in the future, but now.-Rev. J. +.
Blair, Baptist, Brooklyn, N. Y.
Material Good-Make it your first
business to be right, to do right, to live
according to all the commandments of
God, and the question of material good
will settle itself naturally. The laws
Of God have to do with the body, as
well as the soul, and make work as
truly a religious duty as prayer.-Rev.
DR.. Raymond, Schenectady, N. Y.
A Larger Scope-The church Of the
future has larger scope and larger
mission than the church of the past.
Christianity is becoming more intense
and more practical. At this time,
when the commercial spirit is leading
with such sway, it will require the
J assistance of conscientious, consecrat-
ed manhood to counteract this spirit.
Rev. F. T. McWhirter Presbyterian,
Indianapolis, Ind.
A False Impression.-It Is a false
impression that God hates a sinner
and that his son gave up his life to
make him love them. The opposite of
this is true. Every sectarian god is
cold and distant. The Bible holds up
God Of genuine love and kindness.
"He so loved the world that he gave
I'D his only begotten Son.'-Rev. DR..
Crawford, Methodist, Akron, Ohio.
Separate and Distinct.-The state
has nothing to do with the church, and
