RELIGIOUS THOUGHT.
Gems Cleaned From the Teachings
of All Denomination

bring Jesus In t0ucn WITH all mdHhinu'
Rev. DIR. Frank De Witt Talmage.
Presbyterian, Chicago.
The Providence of God.
Men of today cannot see Gods prov
idence. God is angry with the sinner
every day, but there is good will be-
hind the anger.-Rev. L. G. Barnes,
Baptist, Worcester, Mass.
Approaching the Divine Meaning.
The minds of men in every quarter
of the intellectual and moral earth are
getting ready to appreciate the divine
meaning in man and nature.-Rev. s.
C. Eby, Swedenborgian, st. Louis.
True Worship.
God may be worshiped as an alb
stract, an omnipotent something, and
such worship may be only a dreamy
and dreary mysticism. The true wor-
ship of God is that of the human mind,
which lovingly and reverently SEXES
hold of or broods upon the divine ma
ture.--Rev. DR.. Barrows, Oberlin, o.
Death and Immortality.
No greater hindrance to progress
could possibly come, no greater blight
could fall upon human operations, no
greater blow could be struck at moral
attainment, than to persuade men that
there is no hereafter and that death is
the final visitOr.-Rev. William Rob
son hoffman, Presbyterian, Chicago.
Charm Of Homes.
The charm and cement of home are
child life. Landlords deny this boon
to the city home of today. The time
will shortly be here when the law will
compel the owners of apartment
houses to provide Fairgrounds for chill
dren and receive them into their build
ings.-Rev. Wilson NJ. Backus, Unita-
rian, Chicago.
The True Life.
We do not die when we leave here,
but merely shed our soul OF It's ma
terial incumbrance and depart to an
other world, where we continue to live
out our existence in sphere of great
er activity and without the discom-
forts of having to attend to any ma
terial wants. - Rev. w. E. Bentley,
Episcopalian, New York.
The Kingdom of God.
Jesus did not mean the church when
he said Kingdom of Cod" The church
is good thing, but the kingdom is
thousand times better. The church
is exclusive and separative, the king
dom unifying and inclusive. The
church requires assent to a creed for
admission; the kingdom embraces all
good of every race and nation.-Rev.
]. II. Bradley, Methodist, Atlanta, Ga
Gods Unreasonable Love.
Ones capacity to love is the measure
Of possible sufferings. Gods love was
embodied in Jesus Christ. All human
love is but an effect, is but reflection
Of Gods love, is but & stream from the
fountain of Gods love or, rather, but a
drop out Of the boundleSs ocean of the
affection of our Heavenly Father. Com
bine all mother love, the love OF all
mothers of all ages, and raise the sum
total to it's highest possible purity ana
power, and what is it but single
beam from the infinite sun of Gods
love?-Rev. DR.. w. w. Landrum, Bap-
fist, Atlanta, Ga.
The One and Only Saviour.
God never duplicates his works. He
never overdoes. He never exceeds the
necessary and the sufficient. He never
repeats himself. There is only one
Isaiah, only one st. Paul, only one John
the Baptist, only one Cromwell, only
one Washington, only one Lincoln, ana
there Is only one Christ, only one risen
Christ. The world needs no more, and;
as said before God is the great econ
omist He is scrupulously exact and
lust in the use of the eternal forces.
The world needs only one Saviour, only
one Christ, and God has given us only
one Saviour, only one Christine risen
Lord, who was and is for evermore the
resurrection and the life.-Rev. DR.. JO-
seph Milburn, Congregationalist, Chi
cago.
What God Desires of Men.
God led his people out of bondage
and gave them liberty. In their dark
est and most discouraging hours God
never forsook them. They had the pres
ence of Moses as friend and guide.
They went through many hard and
trying experiences, but at last they ar
rived at the end of their destination
and entered Canaan. So it is with us.
Now we are on our hard and danger
Gus journey. There are enemies on ev-
cry side Often we are discouraged; we
faint under our heavy loads. We muir
muir against the providences of God
This is not what God desires us to do.
We are to learn patience, to trust God.
to go forward under tie guidance Of
the great leader Jesus Christ, until ut
last the end Of the journey will come.
and we shall enter our hea Cenly Ca
naan and be forever with our Cod

byterian. New York.
