Laber.-The history of centuries re
veals the fact that the greater the civ
| ilizatfon the more honorable labor be
comes.-Rev. R. 81. Hood, Presbyte
rian, Pittsburg, Pa.
Real Christian.-It is easy to be 8
nominal Christian, for profession will
accomplish that. It is difficult to be q
real one, for that involves right
heart-Rev. La Crandall, Baptist. Chi
cago, Ill.
church to-day who are receiving blood
money, the revenue that comes from a
shameful and dishonest business
Rev. A. R. Holderley, Methodist, At.
lanta, Ga.
Mans Spirit.-"You cannot judge a
man solely by his acts. You must probe
deeper. You must determine the spirit
which actuates him and ascertain it's
origin-"-Rev. D. Hart, Hebrew, Den.
yer, Colo.
Smiles of Eire.-The smiles and
smirks Of an evil person are not signs

us against falling into an open sepul-
cher.-Rev. G. G. Greenwood, Baptist
Westfeld, N. J.
Industrial Conditions-The indus
trial problem will never be solved on
the principle of class selfishness, but
only on the basis Of the highest well
fare for all.-Rev. J. Fl. Speer, Pres
byterian, Denver, Colo.
Honesty.-Honesty is one Of the first
principles of Christianity. It lies at
tian character. 1t must be the DOM
inant force in all traffic-Rev. f. R.
Pardington, Methodist, Bethel, Conn.
God and Mammon.-Because we
serve both God and Mammon we find
an equal amount in our surroundings.
The devil is still alive with us so long
as we act him, and the Christ nature
repudiated.-Rev. F. E. Mason, Scien-
tist, Brooklyn, N. Y.
Rivals of the Pulpit-To-day the pull
pit has more powerful rivalry than
ever before. The newspaper press, the
cheap magazines and the free libraries
fill in part the place once occupied by
the pulpit alone.-Rev. d. Macarthur,
Baptist. New York City.
Evangelism.-The spirit Of world
evangelism was never more marked
than it Is to-day. The Methodist
Church alone is preaching the gospel
in sixteen languages, to say nothing of
the marvellous work beyond the SEAS
Rev. w. A. Frye, Methodist, Lansing,
Mich.
of Jesus Christ from the dead is the
supreme warrant Of our faith in Him
as the image of the invisible God. The
church has also. found in that resurrec-
tion her charter. If Christ is not risen
the whole Christian theory of life col
lapses and the fruits of the theory are
Illogical and it's hopes factious.-Rev.
M. w. Stryker, Presbyterian, Clinton,
n. Y.
Capital and Labor.-In the present
fermentation in the industrial world we
need leaders who see the parts in rela-
ton to the whole. Neither capital nor
labor must demand all. One has gold
to exchange for work and the other
has work to exchange for gold.
Neither should be exorbitant-Rev,
M. e. Harlan, Disciple, Brooklyn,
N. Y.
The Law of Life.-There is no high
er form of life reached, there is no de-
velopment Of personal intellect, there
Is no prosperous business maintained,
there is no higher level of political or
social life reached, save along one in
variable line-struggle with and con-
quest of opposition. The law of life
is attainment through overcoming
Rev. ]. B. Clark, Presbyterian, Detroit,
Mich.
Redemption.-Ada fell and sin
came. Redemption was purchased by
a slain Jesus and a risen Lord; and
we, now, each week, celebrate His day
of resurrection in combination with
worship Of God who commanded and
the world was, and who showed His
supreme love for man in sacrificing
for our redemption, Christ, His Son,
In whom He was well pleased.-Rev.
A. j. Henry, Congregationalist, Brook
1yn, N. Y.
Work and Win.-Do not people some
how really feel that to support the
church, to be charitable and generous,
to observe the formal acquisitions Of
religion, is enough. That they hereby
purchase the goal of spiritual attain
ment? And how incongruous it is for
people to feel so, who know so well
that they get nothing in any other de-
partment Of life without working for
it! Work and win is the true law Of
both the temporal and the spiritual
life.-Rev. ]. B. Clark, Presbyterian.
Detroit, Mich.
Processing Christians.-If you are ac-
tive Christians, if you make a loud
profession of your religion, you may
be sure your neighbors will talk about
you, and you may congratulate your
self If you do not get your name in
the papers. They are sure to find
some flaw in your character, to weigh
against your zeal in Gods service. The
