Dry is gibbeted by public contumely
after his death.-Rev. DR.. Frank De
Witt Talmage, Presbyterian, Chicago.
The Spiritual Power.
Far above all other power is the spir-
itual power. When personality takes
to itself the power of the soul, then
you have power that is magnetic
Rev. DR.. Dewey, Congregationalist,
Brooklyn.
The Most Exalted Ideal.
The most exalted ideal is the reli-
gious one which treats man not only
as a physical and moral being, but
teaches his relations to God both for
the present and for all eternity.-Rev.
]. D. Freeman, Baptist, Toronto
Motives of Conversion.
Different motives undoubtedly lead
men of different temperaments to ac-
cept conversion. The chief motives are
fear, selfish motives, altruistic motives,
duty, sense of sin, preaching, example,
urging. - Rev. H. F. Perry, Baptist,
Chicago.
Lead to Disbelief.
Self indulgence and Indifference to
human wrongs lead to disbelief in
Gods goodness and cause belief in eter-
nal justice to fade away. Deliberate
sin means moral atrophy. 1t means the
whitening of the root that goes down in
to the soil of eternal truth.-Rev. J. P.
Forbes, Unitarian, Brooklyn.
Heroism In Daily Life.
1t is comparatively easy to charge up
the hill amid the roar Of battle when
you know that the eyes of the world
are upon you, but to discharge duty
in the commonplace walks of life,
where no one sees and no applause is
the reward, is ofttimes the most diff
cult Of tasks. = Rev. DR.. Irving Ras-
mus, Methodist, Chicago.
Contrasts of Character.
The chara cter which is made up of
the GOODNESS of the stone and the heat
of the fire, representing the solidity of
the stone and the restlessness of the
fire, suffused with principle and shot
through with passion, controlled and
obedient, is the character upon which
depends the destiny of the nations.-
Rev. Frank W. Gunsaulus, Chicago.
No Patience With Hypocrisy.
To succeed in helping to make hui
manity better we must ourselves be
right in heart A clean heart is prime
requisite for every one who wishes to
do good. Men will bear with our mis-
takes and our ignorance, but they have
no patience with hypocrisy. There is
nothing more disgusting than pious
cant. = Rev. L. A. Crandall, Baptist,
Chicago.
Gods Estimate.
The gospel of Jesus Christ expresses
Gods estimate of what man can be-
come in his spirit, in his disposition,
in his character, i'll his relations with
men, in his attitude to problems, in his
dealing with truth. Men are always
putting distance between God and hui
mainly. God is always eliminating
that distance in the Christ who unites
the divine and human. : Rev. J. A.
Rondthaler, Presbyterian, Indianapo-
lis.
The Divine Love.
There is one supreme passion in
folding the race. 1t is the passion Of.
divine love. There is one supreme law
dominating the world. 1t is the law Of
love. In these the soul is being built
This is life. AS out of our humanity
there have already come arts, sciences,
laws and letters and civilizations, so
out of us at last, by the pouring into
us of the spirit of love, is to come the
kingdom of heayen.-Rev. DR.. West,
Congregationalist, Winona, Mimi.
Being on the Lords Side.
What are the advantages Of being on
the Lords side? 1t is the side Of l1u1.Gr
Sin degrades and disgraeeG and Qlags
down that which God intended to Ice
high and noble in man. The angels OF
God in heaven honor the sinner who
repents. Those who profess Christ in
an undaunted spirit will be honored by
God and the holy angels. To be on the
Lords side is to be happy. There are
many who have but little of this worlds
goods and much affliction, and yet they
are happy.-Rev. Dr. William J. Holtz-
claw, Baptist, Atlanta, Ga.
Blessing of sunshine.
Blessed are those who do things with
a heart full of sunshine. Indeed, what
normal ambition is satisfied by carry
ing everywhere the wet blanket Of
doubt and despair? Let us do what
ever we do cheerfully, and so give peo-
pie we meet the thought that they have
had a glimpse of heaven. What is the
use of being gloomy and ugly? And
what a fine old world this would be if
we could all be receptacles of the stored
up sun force of cheerfulness.-R f.
A. Hinckley. Unitarian, Philadelphia.
