great sin. This was how Jesus was
sinless. He was without selfishness.--
Rev. F. NJ. North, Methodist, New
York City.
Christian Sinners.-Bad temper and
uncontrolled anger are not sins Of
worldlings alone, but are also the sins
Of thousands of protesting Christians.
Rev. D. r. Babbltt, Episcopalian,
Brooklyn, N. Y.
Adams Sin.-The first man is sup
posed to have committed an act which
incurred the wrath and anger of God.
All are born to the inheritance of this
wrath and anger of God.-Rev. P. G,
Sears, Eplscopalian, Meridian, Miss.
The Open Door. - The President
pleads for the open door of equality
Of opportunity. We do not ask ia
vors. We simply urge we are entitled
to our rights under the law.-Rev. II.
@. Ransom, Colored Independent, Chi
cago, Ill.
Reputatlon.-A good name includes
both character and reputation. Repu-
tation Is what people say about us.
Character is what we really are in
our secret life. Reputation is what
people think we are.-Rev. w. G. Pat
ridge, Baptist, Pittsburg, Pa.
Gods Love.-The gift of Christ is
the only adequate measure of Gods
love. The world contains many
things to bless man, but we cannot
judge from what we see about us, the
measure of Gods love.-Rev. d. X.
Rankin, Presbyterian, Denver, Colo.
Doing Good.-He who goes about do
ing good has the cooperation Of heav-
en-. The world may light him, scorn
him, turn away from him, but In
heaven there is Joy among the angels
of God because Of him.-Rev. w. H.
McGlauflin, Universalist, Atlanta, Ga.
Narrow Judgment-Our judgments
are often unfair, because too narrow.
We do not say enough, and so do
harm. 1t is not fair to say earth pro-
duces thorns and stop. Why not speak
Of fruits and flowers and harvest?-
Rev. James Thompson, Methodist, Chi
cago, Ill.
Legal Voting.-A voter ought to be
able to cast his vote as quietly as he
mails his letter, and be sure that his
preference is registered. The govern
ment is as competent to register his
choice as it is to register his letter in
the United States postoffice.-Rev. H.
O. Miller, Presbyterian, New York
City.
Church Debts. There Is no good ex-
cuse for church debts or for a dearth
Of good works among church members
because of lack of funds. Let all
who pretend to love the Lord 1.-THE
their income faithfully, and the treas
ury will always be full, and the pews,
too.-Rev. G. F. Hall, Independent,
Chicago, Ill.
Living and Dying.-The secret of dy-
ing the death of the righteous is liv-
ing the life of the righteous. If man
would be holy and reap the fruits Of
holiness, he must apply himself to the
getting of holiness. A man will find it
easy to do that which he applies him
self to.-Rev. G. +. Miller, Episcopa-
lian, Brooklyn, N. Y,
Abraham Lincoln.-Lincoln was as
scholastic as Edward Everett, and just
as classical, as oratorical as Henry
Ward Beecher, with greater accura-
cy and more unique diction. AS logi-
cal as Daniel Webster, with a superior
craftsmanship. His statesmanhood
was Incompatible Rev. f. c. Bruner,
Methodist, Chicago III.
The First Love.-The blossoms and
the fruitage bespeak the rootage, and
the seed and the flower and the tree.
And unless you have the first love-
love for God-in your heart, the love
that shall engage our attention on Sun
day mornings will be stranger to
your experience..-Rev. d. d. McLarin,
Methodist, Rochester, N. Y.
Agent of GOd.-Every age has its
agencies. Man is Gods agent in this
age. He is the medium through which
God intends to overthrow evil and
revolutionize the world. Our labors
may result adversely to our desires,
but God will accomplish His desires
through the means He has given us
Rev. s. z. Tice, African Methodist,
New York City.
Progress. Average is not excellence.
In the new dispensation everything
must excel In greatness, sweetness and
beauty all of the world. The Jews
stood as a national rebuke to the idol
atrous nations. To-day the world has
evolved a larger ideal, based upon Mo-
sale ideals and inspired by the gospel
light.-Rev. William Ron, Presbyte-
rian, Northfield, Mass.
Seeking God.-we must do our duty
and God will do the rest. When God
calls a man, gives him a message, and
him to forward march, no
power on earth can hinder his onward
march. God wants a deliverer; we
need a deliverer. We must be faithful
to the charge God has given us. We
must go back to the old camping
ground. We must seek the God of
our fathers, trust God for His love and
saving grace.-Rev. s. P. Tice, Metho.
dist, New York City.
