 Gods Laws.
 A spiritually minded person is one whose lire is controlled by the laws of the invisible kingdom of God as se: forth in tue New Testament. His coG. Is love toward God and nan. It is his fixed purpose to obey this law, ID matter what 1t may cost him.--Rev. A. s. Gregg, Methodist, Worcester, Mass.
 Truth.
 The great thinkers and educators of the world today are followers of the Man of Galilee. Christ assigned the highest place to truth. He has arous- ed the mental energies of mankind ar! poured his rays of knowledge and wis. dom into all the regions of thought and given guidance to the student in the temple of learning IS well as to the pilgrim on the way to heaven.-Re,s:. John L. Brandt, Christian Fhur~h, :: Louis.
 Definition of Education.
 Education is not crammi:4g the m.i With information. 1t is rather the ..e ve.opGent Of the powers of mind. bo and soul. An institution of learning . not a shop where men are taught ;a perform certain tasks like ma"hi.: '. It is rather a place where mAn ;.s.. taught to study, think and act. The is danger in magnifying tie place u fraternities in our high schools T.u folly of q good time at the expense of good work is almost criminal. No oua doubts the benefit of athletics in OF. schools, but we must not forget tb. there is brain as we'll as-an arm a.l that after all 1t is mind that counts. Rev. William Hathawa Pound. Coi. sregationalist. Chicago.
 Beauty of Christian Hope.
 There is always hope for a man while there is hope in man. Most of our defeats and failures are due to faint heart. Many an evil vanishes when the mental attitude of fear is changed to fight, and many defeat is changed to victory by a song of hope Hoie Goes not foolishly cajole us int believing that there are no ills in l.re. but it assures us that We will win ous ill the end. It does not minimize til, ay-fulness of sin. but it magn:fies tie wonders Of divine grace. Where sii. aboGnds g.ace much more abounds Christian hope does not need to hide. its head like the ostrich in the sand to blind itself to the pu"suer it canno. escape. Like Jesus it weeDs at the tol,,b and shudders at the horror of the et'1yo. but Ike Jesus it triumphs over ail.~Itev. T. pross Paden. presby. terian, Allegheny Pa
