side of the devil and arrays himself
against God-Rev. A. R. Holderby.

soul is capa ble-the most positive pow
to -

Wine, Women and Wealth.-The
greatest temptations Of men to put
them rythmically, are wine, women
and wealth. And I think I put these
in the order Of their importance.-Rev.
@. L. Laws. Congregat1onalist, Bald-

spends to the touch Of love. Around
on the sunny side of even the most
frigid man there is always door that
opens to the presence of a loving heart
Rev. T. ]. -Villers, Baptist, Indian.

Labor Unions.-I believe any num-
Der Of persons engaged in the same
work have as much right to form a
union as we ministers have to meet
each Monday in our ministerial meet
tngs.-Rev- s: e. Young, Presbyterian,

THETA thief is one who steals
To steal is to take without right or
leave that which belongs to another.
When a thief is convicted of stealing
he is put into Jail; that Is, some thieves
are.-Rev. J. M. Markley, Congrega-
Honalist, Denver, Col.
Humility.-There is no principle
more universally overworked in the
Christian church to-day than that Of
humility. The average Christian is
altogether too meek and too prone to
self-disparagement.-Rev. G. e. Jeffer-
son, Baptist, New York City.
Wealth.-The love of money is the
root of evil, but man by caring strict
ly for his business and doing it all with
integrity, can succeed and may become
rich. ALL man needs is hustle. He
does not need to be born rich.-Rev. s.

Two Questfons.-Life holds two
questions of the first Importance. Is
there a God? And if so, how does He
feel toward us? Is there another life?
And If SO, what about the harvest
there of sin that we have sown here?

q. McClurkin, Presbyterian, Shady
Side, Pa. .- .+

keep disease out of the inner life is to
keep It strong. healthy and vigorous
with moral and spiritual life. The way
to keep sin out Of the life Is not by

Brooklyn, N. Y.
Trouble.-The reason trouble Is so

the wonders He wrought in the days
Of the fathers. We tanspose Him into
the remote future and dream of the
glories which shall be ours when all
the wells which now hide Him shall be

Family Devotion.-Family worship
Is essential to true home life. When

prehensive enough to compass the
