Gems Cleaned From the Teachings
of All Denominations.
The love that only realizes the value
of loved ones when they are dead is
only moekery.-Rey. A. Mccall, Con-
gregationalist, Briarcliffe, n. Y.
business and Religion.
When men attempt to divorce bust
ness life from religious life it is Grim
inal attempt. They cannot be divorced.
They are really. as far as the world is
concerned, Siamesc twins.-Rev. r. S.
Pardington, Methodist, Bethel. Conn.
Redemption q Live Wire.
If you have passed from death unto
life you are not piece Of moral tin
kering and ethical cobbling. Regen-
Grafton Is live wire. 1t is perma-
nent miracle. You are not only new
man, but live man.-Rev. G. ]. Green.
wood. Baptist, Westfeld. n. ].
The Gospel Of Rest.
There is a 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.-Rev. ]. J. Kolmos, Congrega-
tonalist, Chicago.
Mans Dual Life.
There Is in every man smaller and
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 thorn
roots in the soil of the soul. There are
birthmarks in the soul as we'll as on
the body.-ReN. DR.. Polemus 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, there is no higher lev
ell Of political or social life reached,
save along one invariable line-struggle
with and conquest Of opposition. The
law Of life is attainment through over
coming. Rev. ]. B. 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 lear. Before this day has
closed review your home conduct. BIZ
more ready to hear than ever before
what he has to say and speak out Of the
kindness he showers upon us.-Rev. DR..
Leighton Coleman, Episcopal Bishop Of
Delaware.
The Gospel Of Pleasure.
| The world today needs q new/uoc'
trine of pleasure, a gospel Of pleasure,
properly speaking. The tension Of life
Is reaching the limits Of human endur-
ance, and rich and poor alike are igno-
rant of the joy of living. The idea
that pleasure is sinful is repudiated by
all wise teachers, but the ghost Of that
falsehood still haunts the minds Of men.
Rev. David Beaton, Congregational
ist, Chicago.
| Saving Your own SOUL
Save your souls yourselves. Empty
all animosity, jealousy, envy and evil
and be an emptied vessel to be filled
with Christ. Fill yourself with gentle
charity, love. energy, that will show
the world what Christ was and Is.
Trust Jesus Christ to save and redeem
man upon his own high plane Of loss
Of self and pelf in the lifting up Of hui
manity.-Rev. DR.. Alonzo Monk, Meth
odist, Atlanta. Ga.
Bearing Others Burdens.
"No man liveth with himself" No
man has a rigb' to live for himself. He
has his own burden to bear, but he
must also bear the burdens Of others.
| It is my duty to take a part Of the
burden Of every other man and help
him to bear it. 1t Is every other mans
duty to help ME bear my burden. No
man has burden so heavy but that
he may help some other man. God
never puts upon one Of his children a
| burden heavier than he can bear. God
| enable us to bear our burdens by put
| ting it into the hearts Of others to help
us.-Rev. DR.. A. r. Holderby, Presby'
terrain, Atlanta, Ga.
Christ Glorifed Toll.
Heathenism has no Labor day. Bar
| barism has none. MohammedaniSm
with it's unspeakable Turks and allied
fierce peoples, knows Of no such dem
onstration. At the head Of all the
great professions Of workmen which
signalize the day throughout the LAND
Is the Carpenter Of Nazareth, unsec:
but all the more potent in his leader
ship and sway. He has gloritied toi!
He has linked the highest heaven with
the work Of the lowliest artisan. The
tramp Of the hosts Of industry on the
coming day, infinitely grander than
that Of armies, however and wherever
mustered, both anticipates and prophe-
sizes the coming Of 1.-THE day Of tie
