of individual and social responsibility
and that rewards Righteousness and
Furnishes wickedness.-Rev p. S. Mox-
Om,. Congregationalist, Springfield,
Mass. saa
The Bible.-God's purpose in giving
the world the Bible, we can confident
~ say, was not to tell men all that He
knew, nor to tell them what would be
| startling to them, but to set before
| them only what would be graduated
| to their understanding and what would
! be adjusted to the moral and religious
| condition in which 1t found them
Rev. c. H. Parkhurst, Presbyterian
| New York City.
Character. - This Is kingdoms
founded upon character. 1t knows no
race, as it knows no territorial limits
An aristocracy of national virtue does,
not control it. It's lines run down to
| the lowest, even lower than our love
| usually goes, and goes so high that the
highest or most cultured cannot enter
| unless they come by way of the new
| life. Rev. S. S. Palmer, Presbyterian,
| Columbus, 0.
Patriotism.-Pa is taught
with more clearness and emphasis in
the Old Testament than in the New
Testament. There is very little in the
| New Testament which breaches a di
rect patriotism, but there ss much in
| the Old Testament that inculcares In
the Jew and every man love for coun-
! try. The God Of Israel was not tribal
god, but a universal god.-Rabbi Jo-
| seph Silverman, Hebrew, New York.
City.
/ Pleasures.-The real pleasures of life.
are very simple and very inexpensive.
| A friend, a book 4 song, tree with a.
| bird singing on the branch, a brisk
walk on a frosty morning when the air
bites and the snow reflects the glory
of the sun--add to such ingredients a
heart free from carking care, a mind
empty of anxiety and you have the
stuff of which real happiness is made
Rev f. @. Hall, Universalist, New
York City
N.anhood.-There is no more pa
thetic figure in the world of to-day
than the shilly-shally youth cuddling
in the lap Of wealth and shrinking
from life's combat We are not wood
en- dummies, but must be men of gran
| lite, against whom the leaping waves
and mountainous surges shall beat
! only to recoil in impotent fury. The
need of this hour is strong manhood
Rev. L. III. Caswell, Methodist Brook
| Ign, N. Y.
Answer to Prayer.-God never fails
to listen to prayers, no matter how
crude, We know He will not have ev-
erything we ask for placed on our door
steps Neither will He scorn the blind
! est of our prayers He is like the moth
! er who answers the cry of her child,
although the little one hardly knows
what it wants. He seems to be asking
what we want and granting something.
better.-Rev w. N. McVicker, Episco-
palian Newport, r. l.
| Happiness.-Stop hurrying. Stop
worrying. Stop chasing happiness and,
let happiness chase you. Take time
| to be glad Take time to make some
one else glad--not by feasting him or
entertaining him, but simply and nat
urally by being friendly and kind.
| Take time to get acquainted with your
own family and enter into real COM
panionship with those whose friend
ship you value-Rev r. o. Hall, Uni
versalist, New York City.
The Divine Life-I4ife Is the trag-,
edy of the divine trying to accomplish.
itself by mortal means; the infinite
seeking to express itself III finite ma
ture and conditions. We cannot es-
cape the conclusion that the divine
will not always fail Truth and right
somehow in the end must prevail. The
divine in our natures will not always
be defeated In this thought we get
| courage to struggle again.-Dr. Felix
Adler, Hebrew, Washington, d. @.
Profitable Things.-The sooner we.
are fully impressed that this present
| life is uncertain and very short, and
| that the future life is sure and end
| less, the better it will be for us. Also
| to learn that material things cannot
satisfy the soul, but that man must
be rich toward God before that ach-
/ ing void can ever be filled, and that
goodness is profitable unto all things
and we may add unto all time.-Rev.
w T. Bryan, Methodist, Dallas, Tex
/ The Future Lfe.-In reference to
the question of the future life the
thinking world to-day is like cable
train which, having reached the end
of one cable, is moving forward under
| its own momentum until it can get it's
grip upon the next cable. Men have
ceased to be afraid of the kind of he'll.
that used to be preached, and they
have ceased to desire the kind Of heav--
en- that used to be preached.-Rev. W.
B. Thorp, Congregationalist, Chicago
/ III.
Worship.-Men must worship. This
