Interchangeable, and each ana every II
of us knows what these laws are. The
man who lives a life in accordance
with them is living a godly life and
one free from sin, and the man who
lives Il life such as this is the nan who
is going to be saved.-Rev. II. l.. Can
field, Universalist, Norwalk, O.
Disgrace OF Poverty.
Poverty is a disgrace to humanity,
for we live in an infinite universe.
Some day toll will cease and Il Will
regale upon the infinite bounty as ma
lures supreme guest. Some time the
barbarity of our present civilization
will cease and the higher elements will
obtain, as man asks the why and how
Of things.-Rev. +. e. Mason, indie
pendent, Brooklyn.
"Don't Worry" Idea Fallac1oun.
The most popular gospel today is the
gospel OF don't worry" No great
transforming movement can ever be
inaugurated on such q basis as that.
The old doctrine Of hell and the wrath
to come was crude and false, but it was
infinitely nearer the truth than this
modern don't worry" philosophy,
which ignores the real dangers that
| confront us.-Rev. Willard B. Thorp,
Corgregationalist, Chicago.
M New Gosnel Needed.
Christ draws men to God; the Holy
Spirit draws men to Christ. Every eX-
ertion at the Spirits power, every man
Hesitation of the Spirits love, has it's
origin in the atoning death of the Son
of God on the cross. No new gospel is
needed. Sooner far shall we need
stars by night, a new atmosphere, a
new sun No better message can pos
sibly come from God>to men.-Rev. DR..
Landrum, Baptist, Atlanta, Ga.
The Final Test.
It is true, both in Il positive and neg
alive sense, that life is the final test of
everything. There is no criticism that
in the sharpness and tremendousness
of judgment is equal to the criticism Of
life. What can stand every assault in
time and in eternity! The grandest
convictions that we receive from other
people are not constructed III us by
their logic or their philosophy or their
Christianity, but they are created in US
by their personality.-Rev. DR.. Rond-
thaler, Presbyterian, Indianapolis, Ind.
The New Era.
The new heaven and the new earth
depend upon the new man and the new
woman. There are signs of the COM
ing of a new era and the passing of the
old. Humanity is acquiring a new way
of looking upon divine things. New
terms have come into use. We today
speak of applied science. We have pass
ed from the field Of speculative to prac-
teal science. We test our views by
their performance now. With all the
accumulations that belong to this age
Of marvellous achievements, the very
achievements by which capital is mass.
ed together for it's ends, there Is awak-
ened the thought that there is a new
force at work in the world. A new sci
ence has come into usn-the rich have
learned to give away their money. Dur
ing the last ten years postgraduate
courses have been taken in the science
Of getting rid Of wealth, and the conse-
quence is that we have an age Of I'M
exampled benevolence. Some few are
still clinging to theft money. but al
most everything but the church Of God
is the recipient of a marvellous outpour-
Ing of wealth, ard the church has not
done the things which she has promised
to do. A higher type Of manhood has
come into being.-Rev. DR.. Thomas r.
Slicer, Unitarian, New York. !
