more, Md.
Wharf.-The financial and commercial
interests of the world have become so
interlaced and interdependent that the
nations will not much longer tolerate
war which dislocates the business OF
the world.-Rev. j. e. Ecob Unitarian,
Philadelphia, Pa.

living there exists moral power. 1t
is our duty to exert every effort to
bring this power to the surface and
to prepare the way of the Lord by
making His paths straig ht-Bishop
Potter, Episcopalian, New York City.
is but stored sun, brought out. All
truth is but condensed Godlikeness.

must find a scheme in life for himself,
and the church that interests itself in,
them will thrive.-Rev. G. Fl. Grinton,.
Methodist, New York City.
In Name Only.-A Christian only in,
name is satisfied il he keeps his con-
science free from mortal sin, and per-
haps even from gross venial sins, but
it may be that during his whole life
he does not once think Of striving after
anything higher.-Rev. Frank Jackson.
Roman Catholic, Atlanta, Ga.
Reason.-The saving element of man
is right reason. When the mind be-
comes clouded with making fine dis
tinctions it is well to rest back upon
that right reason which goes to the
heart of things unembarrassed by syl-
logisms and scientific problems-Rev.
w. III. Pound, Congrega tionalist, Chi
cago Ill.
Church Monopoly.-The day has
passed when any church can claim to
Ivy Of frsIIf no oh
has a right to call itself the true
church; no church has the right to
call itself The Church, as one of the
smallest religious bodies in America
does.-Rev. r. s. Macarthur Baptist,

Men at Church, pronounce it q
fallacy that men do not go to church.
Men do go to church. and in large
numbers, and with sympathetic soul,
when you give them something to go
for, something that satisfies their high
est intellects, their spiritual aspirations
and needs.-Rev. *. B. Topper, Bap-
fist. Philadelphia, Pa.
Faith.-Faith has proved itself to
be q practical power which produces
not only saints, but all that makes for
civilization. The first essential work
of man is to believe in God, as re-
vealed in the person of Jesus Christ,
for personality reveals itself through
personality-Rev. w. f. Darby, Epis-
copalian, Brooklyn, n. Y.
The Church.-The church must be-
made more and more the center Of
helpfulness and sociability. 1t must
furnish an open church for all that is
true and good, and satisfy the demands
of the whole man. Then it must
preach as unfiinchingly as ever that
salvation is only in Christ.-Rev. c. d.
Case, Methodist, Brooklyn, n. Y.
The Bright Side.-There is a bright
side to all of the trials and conflicts
of life. Struggle has characterized all

to the man who waits. Justice is some
times delayed, but the Dreyfusses are
often brought back from eXile.-Rev.
C. e. LODGE, Methodist, Brooklyn, n Y.

because perfect ueH anu "OIiltn ak
rare. The ideal marriage is, therefore,
a long way off, but happy marriage is
successful from the standpoint of the
church and the state is by no means so
rare as long-haired men and short
haired women would have us believe
Rev. J. L. Levy, Hebrew Pittsburg,
Pa.
Loss. of Vision.-One of the great
est dangers of our age is the danger
of losing vision. We are 50 weighted
down with the cares and anxieties Of
life that sometimes we never look up
to the higher spiritual world. A utili-
tartan and material philosophy can find
no place for idealism. Yet it is ideal
ism that brings inspiration.-Re T. j.
