Sainthoo1.-There has never been
but one example of tlawless salnthood
on this earth. All the rest were men
OF like passions as we are" All have
gone out OF this life with many i'm.
perfections and far more to learn In
the school beyond than they ever
learned here.--Rev. A. h. Klnsolying.

Poverty. Of men can eli.
dure self.denial and sacrifice, and
disappointed ambition. with patience.
But to preach to them that there Is
any blessing In enduring unnecessary
pain is to make them feel: "You rub
the sore when you should bring the
plaster."-Rev. f. u. Hopkins, Con.
gregatlonallst, Chicago, Ill.
Justlce.--some religious teachers
have apparently conceived OF God as
living In a court house and exercising
the functions of His office as cruel
and relentless Judge The whole OF
their theology has had a legal cast,
and the idea Of justice has been that
Of retributlon and vindIctlveness.--
Rev. II. s. Bradley, Methodist, Allan.
tn, Ga.
Club Life.-Substitute for home
weaken the family. There has been
much and strong opposition to club
life, because 1t has done harm to the
family. In many cases 1t has been
made substitute for the home.
Where men and women spend much
time In such association there must OF
necessity be neglect of home.--Rev.
d. g. Wylie, Presbyterian, New York
City.
Municipal Corruption.-To tamely
turn over the vital interests Of great
city, whose public life determines In
great degree the moral standard OF
Its citizens, to band of men without
conscience or shame TO exploit for
their selfish and corrupt ends, Is not
In accord with the spirit Of Him who
drove from the temple those who de-
Aled it-Rev. T. Craft, Methodist,
Denver, Col.
The Right Place.--Life is hunt to
find ones self. There are two hunt
eTB, ones self and God. If you work
in unison, the probability is that you
separately the certainty Is that when
the day is done you will return empty
handed, a sadder and a wiser man.
One does not find himself until he
finds and fills his place.-Rev. B. NJ.
Tipple, Baptist, Brooklyn, N. Y.
Love and Trust. Without God
there Is no place for love, trust, hope,
courage in this great scene of life.
Can any one be happy who sees 10
love in the world, who knows Of no
one who can be trusted to do the best
for every man. You know 1t is i'm
possible. The counsel Of the ungodly
leads to hardness of heart, to hope
less struggle, to final despalr.-Rev.
