of this generation with the spirit of
righteousness, but many seem not to
know the power of religion. That Is
to say, you profess a religion which
neither deters you from sin nor gives
you hope beyond death.-Rey. DR.. Sim
MONS Baptist. Peoria, III.
Masonic Principles -The Bible has
always been a supreme part of Ma
sonic principles. 1t is looked up to as
the supreme will of the Divine God
An order shaping its actions by such
book and living by 1t cannot but COM
mend itself to favor.-Rev. Dr. Wiley,
Methodist, Brooklyn, n. Y.
Retributive.-The very first charac-
teristic of Gods laws, either moral or
physical, is that they are retributive.
Obedience brings its own reward, dis
obedience brings its punishment 1t
can be said truthfully, therefore. that
all vice brings Its punishment 1t can
be said of every evil act and thought
every violation of law that 1t has its
own punishment inexorably connected
with the transgression. Dr. Ian
don, Episcopalian. New York.
Sacrifice-How careful Jesus is with
the sacrificial life. If man under
goes suffering he deserves strength,
and If a Christian suffers he, too.
gains strength. In the one 1T Is akin
to the brute force, in the other it is
akin to the angel.-Rey. L. II. Harris,
Episcopalian. Atlanta. Ga.
Socialsm.-Some of the most impor-
tant government functions, some of the
most beneficial laws of civilized coun-
tries to-day are pure forms of social
ism, and nobody thinks anything about
it. In fact, the abstract principle is
now purely a question of aecommoda-
ton to modern life.-Rev. d. Beaton,
Congregationallst, Chicago, Ill.
Light-It is a great paradox to say
that light is full of mystery. But it is
the fact. and no greater scientist can
deny 1t. And without controversy
great is the mystery of godliness God
manifested in the flesh. Light has in
eorruptible purity. 1t repels deflement.
Rev. +. NJ. Jones, Baptist, Pittsburg,
Pa.
Christs Brotherhood.-We used to
talk of the kingdom of God, which
was something afar off. vague and In
distinct. Now we talk of the kingdom
of man. Chrlst's brotherhood, the
kingdom of God ON earth, The church
that will stand at the end of the CEN
fury is the one that does the work
of Ghrlst.-Rev. DR.. Gunnison. Uniyer-
sallst. Canton, y. Y.
A Common Destiny.-God is working
out plan in the world, and all His
movements are directed to a common
destiny. This destiny is the saving
of the race. We look back through
the ages and see the steady march of
events toward the realization of this
end. We move on together toward the
contamination of the Divine purpose
Rev. w. Il. Wykoff Akron, Ohio.
A Fuller Life.-There are days of
finding fuller life. In these days
there are three that are pre-eminent.
These are wealth, culture, power They
bring tremendous things-the very
stuff and fiber of civilization. They
bring untold possibilities and open to
us vast gates of life. And yet they
are as candles to the sun.-Rev. DIR.
West. Congregationalist Winona,
MINI.
Damnable Heresy.-Save Us from
this new and damnabe heresy that
this is a white mans government, in
which the black man has no place.
Save the black race from hatred and
the white from superelllous contempt.
Save the white man from degradation,
so that he can recognize the divine
in all humanity and see no difference
In the common flesh over which the
angel has dropped yellow red and
black mantles.-Rev. DR., Hills. Con-
gregationalist. Brooklyn, n. Y.
Observation-Disclosures seems to be
an integral part of human nature; we
are all of us discontinued with things
obtained In a temporal way. Rising
from victory TO victory, reaching the
summit of earthly things, man realizes
at last. often too late, that all is van
lty. We can now see truly that Christ
was another creator of religion, a
brlnger of new faith. a defner of the
more godly life. Man is by nature re-
/ ligious; bora of God he yearns for
Him.-Bishop Spalding. Roman Catho-
lie, Philadelphia. Pa.
Soundness Of Hearth His deal
