positions we occupy, the honors We
enjoy and the heaven we hope to gain
Rev. Frost Craft, Methodist, Den
YER, Colo,

They give Him the so by. It's bust

cry point and place In all the universe

Gratitude.-When we consider the

Faith and Knowledge.-We cannot

Many of them are content to have NO
conclusions about it.-Rev. T. S.

Life's JOurney-Human life is q
journey. The region through which
we move is unknown and largely un.
knowable-a land of mystery. Any
question as to the facts or environ
ments of existence leads us at once
into paths that run into shrOuded
chambers" a realm of darkness.-Rev.
G. II. Buck, Methodist, New York
City.
EvOlution.-Evolution accounts for
much, but not for everything in this
world. Between every hour and ev-
cry higher form Of life there Is some
thing impaired which was not there
before, a direct creative act, introduc-
ing a new energy which, when once in
troduced, unfolds under the same gen.
eral laws that controlled the develop
ment of every antecedent energy
Rev. A. V. Raymond, Congregational
ist, Schenectady, N. Y.
Sorrow.-Let sorrow mellow you. A
stubborn person. If approached wrong
ly, can be hard, cold and almost cruel,
when If touched rightly he will sur
pass any one in tenderness. Charging
God with unfair punishment may lead
to similar hardening rebellion. If sor-
row reminds me of the reality Of the
future life and leads to things that
prepare for it, we will be deepened,
broadened, sweetened. For we will be
full of service which alone can store
treasure there. We will then recall
our sorrow and offer felt sympathy to
others.-Rev. c. F. Reisner Methodist,
Denver, Colo.
