IL theology these two selves are called
the spiritual man and the natural man.
Rev. T. A. King, Swedenborgian,
Cleveland, O.
Loss of Zeal have seen young
church members start out with great
promise. They carried with them a
good stock of enthusiasm. They were
in for every good work, but after a
while the bright prospect faded. They
lost their zeal and dropped out.-Rev.
L. G. Broughton, Methodist, Atlanta,
Ga.
The Lords Prayer.-Many repeat the
Lords Prayer from time to time with
out realizing just what they say. It's
very familiarity has unfortunately
made it common, and yet it is so full
of precious truths that we will never
be able to understand all wholly, much
less be able to live them fully in our
daily lives.-Rev. l.. NJ. Zimmerman,
Lutheran, Baltimore.
The Altar of Avarice.-The man who
is chosen to a place of public trust and
will appoint men to Office for his own
personal ends and discharge them il
they will not aid his reelection; who
uses the machinery of State for party
politics, puts character and patriotism,
his fathers good name and duty to his
fellows on the altar of avarice.-Rev.
Bruce Brown, Disciple, Chicago
The Future Life.-In reference to
bn Of fr74,7 ho
thinking world to-day is like cable
train, which, having reached the end
of one cable, is moving forward under
it's own momentum until it can get it's
grip upon the next cable. Men have
ceased to be afraid of the kind of hell
that used to be preached w. B.
Thorp, Congregationalist, Chicago, III.
The Power Within.-1'he spirit OF
God within is the impelling power.
We act and the reaction from this
act is what makes for the growth
of character within us. A witness of
our acts reflects upon the possibilities
latent within himself. Our deeds are
forces from without stirring up the
gifts within him.-Rev. w. J. Thomp-
son, Methodist, New York City.
The Empty Tomb.-It is the empty
tomb that makes the glory of the cross
possible 1t is because of the mes
sage Of the empty tomb, because of
the hope it arouses and confirms be-
cause Of the endless life and character
of which it speaks, that we are able
to see the meaning of all in this life
which is symbolzed in the Cross
Rev C. G. Pierce, Baptist, Los Ange-
les, Cal.
Highest Positions.-There is no
earthly position comparable in respon-
sibility or eminence to the Gospel min
istry 1t is true that there are world
ly positions of the highest respect and
honor, requiring men of unblemished
character and striking integrity to fill
them, but one is material and perish
able, the other spiritual and eternal
Rev. r. S. Rowe, Methodist, Kenney-
Vile, Md.
Government Other nations
had forms of government, but
America established popular selfgov-
eminent 1t created a commonwealth,
guaranteeing equal power to vested
rights, and seeking the common good.
The American political idea finds its
source in the self-government which
binds itself on the liberty of the indi-
viduaI.-Rev. T. J. Conaty, Roman
Catholic, Worcester, Mass.
Peace.-Peace is the condition of the
discovery of all truth, of the mastery
of all power and of the possession Of
all happiness The man who wishes to
discover truth must be quiet. Peace
is not to be discovered by the use Of
narcotics. You can narcotize not only
your body, but your brain, your heart,
your soul, but this is not the way to
peace.-Rev NJ. J. Savage, Unitarian,
New York City.
The Monroe Doctrine. One Of the
healthiest signs of the times is the vim
dication of the Monroe Doctrine. We
know that it is q menace to monar-
chial governments, but they will have
to respect it's nolens yolens. The six
great powers Of the world, including
the United States, virtually control the
earth. Nothing can be done against
their judgment.-Rev. Z. t. Everett,
Lutheran, York, Pa.
MISUNDERSTANDING is seeking.tle
right of way and that dread monster
is being helped along by the most
striking thing that America has given
to the world, the millionaire. The de-
sire for money and the frantic deter
mination to get it in any way and ey-
cry way is paving the way for social
ism, condition that we are not pre-
pared for and do not want.-Rey. 7.
e. Poterton, Episcopalian, Brooklyn,
New York.
Sowing and Reaping.-If we SOW
love to God and man the heart will be
