RELIGIOUS THOUGHT.
Gems Cleaned From the Teachings of
All Denominations.

The only hope to be saved from ever
lasting suffering is to accept the Of
Iered mercy of God in this life and re-
pent of all sin.-Rev. DR.. Helderby
Presbyterian, Atlanta, Ga
CHRIST RELIEVES ALL BURDENS
There is not a calling of the yoke or
q pressure of the burden but can be
relieved by q consistent application Of
the teaching of Christ.-Rev. F. E.
Hopkins. Congregationalist, Chicago
FOLLOW WHERE CHRIST LEADS.
If we go astray, it shall not be for
lack of a bath. but for not following
where Christ leads. We are simply to
go forward to Christlikeness.-R
MI Helms, Methodist. Worcester,
Mass.
NEARNEss OF GOD AND MAN.
OF all creeds that have been founded
since the beginning of the world the
Christian religion is the only one that
overcomes the sense Of distance be-
tween God and man-Rev. DR.. Brady,
EpiscopaIian, Philadelphia.
UNSTABLE CHRISTIANITY.
A Christianity which is not rooted is
always unstable: a Christian love that
has not penetrated into the depths is
not a love of a permanent or enduring
character. It is more like a bubble
Rev. DR.. NacLaurin, Reformed, Roch-
ester, n. z.

need. In him alone there is satisfac-

BEING RIGHT WITH GOD.
If right with God there is comfort
in the thought of a final reckoning of
all accounts, when and where all wrongs
shall be righted. IF right with God. you
cannot be wrong with anything or any
body. If not right in relation to God,
you are out of relation to everything
and to everybody--Rey. N. H Lee,
Methodist, Denver
RESPONSIBILITY FOR THOUGHTS.
A man is as responsible for his
thoughts as his actions. In fact, a mans
actions are but his embodied thought
Wrong doing feeds on wrong thinking
Coarse thinking is the nearest of kin to
coarse actions. Right thinking about
Christ brings right thinking about ev-
cry relationship of life-Rev. DR.. Har-
Ian, Brooklyn
RIGHTEOUSNESS PAYS.
There is no greater folly conceivable
than that of imagining that unright-
eousness pays more than Righteousness
The history of the world is against it.
Reason is against 1t. Tt is the right
eousness of the world that makes IN
righteousness of seeming advantage
Rev. DR.. Raymond, President Union
College. Schenectady. N Y
ACTIVE AND DEVOTED.
Christ was an example of religious

good. Some people are devoted Chris

are active, but not devoted. Christ was
both active and devoted.-Rev. DIR. Nee

to the test of experience. Whether
faith IN Christ can give strength In
