When men attempt to divorce bust
ness life from religious life it is a Grim
inal attempt They cannot be divorced
They are really, as far as the world il

man, but live man.--Rev. G. j. Green
wood, Baptist, Westfield, N. ].
Fhs Gospel of Rest.
There is q gospel of rest as well as q
gospel Of work. Rest is as necessary
to man as work The two are the es.
sentials of his symmetrical develop
ment. The man who does not know
how to rest has not learned the art Of
living.-Rey. j. J. Kolmos, Copgrega
tionalIst. Chicago.
Mans Dual Life.
There is in every man smaller ard
larger self. The supreme question Is
which shall gain the mastery. No
sane man will deny the law of heredi'
ty. Inherited taints are found as thorI
roots in the soil Of the soul. There are
birthmarks in the soul as well as on
the body.-Rev. DE-, P9iamgs II, Swift
Methodist, Chicago.
The Law of Life.
There is no higher form of life reach
ed, there is no development Of person.
al intellect. there is no prosperous bust
ness maintained, tnefp il no higher lev
ell of political or social life reached,
SAGE along one invariable line-struggie
with atd conquest Of opposition. The
Jaw of life is attaiBment through over
coming. - Rey, j. p. CLARK. Presbyte-
rian, Detroit.
Consistent Courage Needed.
Our Lord is thirsting after consistent
courage on the part Of his children,
who are even today as deaf as in the
days when he babe the dumb man
speak and hear. Before this day has
closed review your home eondpct. Be
more ready to hear than ever before
what he has to say and speak ont Of the
kindness he showers upon us.-Rey. d.
Leighton Coleman, Episcopal Bishop OF
Delaware.
The Gospel of Pleasure.
The world today needs new doe.
trine Of pleasure. gospel Of pleasure,
speaking. The teasiOn OF life
IS reaching the limits of human ehdsr-
ance, and rich and poor alike are igno-
rant of the Joy Of living. The idea
hat pleasure is sinful is repudiated by
Ill wise teachers, but the ghost Of that
falsehood still hauDts the minds Of men.
