From the beginning until now man has
always dreamed of the Golden Age.
Sometimes he had called it the Golden
Fleece, and sometimes he had called it
the Holy Grail.-Rev n NJ. Waters,
Congregationalist, Brooklyn, n. Y.
Peace.-There are two ways of get
ting peace. One is to work on the
thing until you come to an agreement,
and the other is to say you do not
care. Indifference is really the true
explana tion.-Rev. Il. L. Patton, Con
gregationalist, Princeton, n. J.
One Basic Truth.-The whole system
of Christianity and the inspiration and
authority of the Bible rest upon basic
truth, that Jesus of Nazareth is the
Christ the son of the living God, and
the savior of the world-Rey. HI. II.
Russell, Universalist Great Falls,
Mont
Religious Liars.-The world is full
of religious liars, men who are like II
watch well made and wound, but
whose face and dial hands point to
$50 at 10 a. m. They were made right
and wound right and keep going, but
they have never been set right.--Rev.
+. w. Gunsaulus, independent, Chi
cago, Ill.
In the Church.-There are Christians
who are not church members and there
are church members who are not Chris
tians. What is the difference? Well,
it is the difference between character
and costume, between seemingly and
reality, between facts and appear
ances.-Rev b. Craig, Disciple, Den
yer, Colo.
Sin.-Sin is the most subtle and In
sinuating thing in the world. 1t insin-
mates itself so gradually and slowly
into the habits and principles of men
that they know not its progress and
strength until the nature is so corrupt
as to be capable of the darkest deeds.
Rev j. w. Hill, Methodist, Harris
burg, Pa.
Christianity in Politics.-Tnere is no
occasion for forcing a distinctly Chris
tan test into political life, but there
is every reason for demanding that a
sound and honest morality which is
fostered by it, and which is now being
stimulated by it, should be recognized
and honored.-Rev. J. s. Lyon, Presby
terrain, Louisville Ky.
Life's Essentials.-If you have char
| ity, love and beneyolence toward your
fellow man you possess all there Is
essential to eternal life. Love supplies
the place of all other virtues, or rather,
embraces them all Love, therefore, is
the shortest, safest and surest route
to heaven.-Cardina Gibbons, Roman
Catholic, Baltimore, Nd.
Pastor and People.-The people
must be one with their pastor. Half
a dozen decayed apples will spoil
whole barrel Six disaffected persons
can disrupt a church If the pastor is
| behaving himself and is indeed an eX-
ample to the flock, give him all the
| liberty he Wants.-Rev. Charles Her
aid, Congregationalits, Brooklyn, n. Y.
The Simple Life.-Charles Wagner
| is right in preaching the Gospel of
| the Simple Life. 1t is matter of re-
| joicing that his appeals are awakening
such general response. The genuinely
simple life is always the nearest
Christ's life, and that means it is the
closest union with God.-Rev. f. i.
Cherington, Methodist, Los Angeles.

Rich and Poor.-Poverty is a pro
life mother of great men. Therefore
our ancient Jewish sages urged that
we be very cautious of the children
| Of the poor. The great hustlers in our
colleges are commonly poor boys. The
| oilers, the FOUNDERS and the sports are
abundantly recruited from the ranks Of
| the rich.-Rabbi A Lyons. Hebrew,
Brooklyn, n. \.
| His complete and final message to any
man at one time, never more than
rough outline at first. The trouble
with the conscientious man who sets
| out to save souls and the traditional
minister is that he cares more for his
program than to follow Gods leading.
Rev W. d. Hyde, Presbyterian,
| New Haven, Conn.
Divorce.-It is dreadful thing for n
dove to be yoked to a camel, or still
| worse to be chained fast to carcass.
| There are not a few of such unfortu-
| nate unions. The very fact that one
| of our largest cities boasts of turning
! out IA divorces in IA minutes during
| the past week tells an awful state Of
| affairs. Something is Wrong.-Rev. L.
NJ Zimmerman, Lutheran, Baltimore,
| Maryland.
Power-All power comes from God.
| No matter what is the propeliing force.
| it has it's origin in God. He bestows
such power on His children that they
may live and preach it among men, so
that they may be brought under the
