 Love and Fear.-Loye Is higher than fear. The fear of the master may make me get my lesson, but love of learning will make me a scholar. Fear drives love draws. Love Is stronger than fear; Hove casteth out fear."- Rev. N. NJ. Waters, Congregationalist Brooklyn. \. Y.
 Our Inharmonious Life.-It Is one of the dangers of our modern preoccu- patton with novels and the dramatic successes of the stage that our emo- ional life is called into activities that are not always harmonious with the rest of our life.-Rey. F. o. Hall, Con- grega tonalist, Brooklyn. \. Y.
 Beyond Critic2m.-The Scriptures is not only the book of the scholar; 1t is the book of the common people. Its soul Is beyond criticism, although men criticise its form. Its real inner mean ing Is beyond attack. Every weapon on attack Is met by keener weapons of defense.-Bishop Cranston, Methodist, Atlantic City, \. J.
 Beauty.-The Book of Psalms Is an art gallery. One psalm Is the picture of thunder storm, another Is a quiet pastoral; another is a Rhigi view, and another is a painting of the holy city alive with the gathered tribes of God. God knows that beauty Is power and hence He uses it.-Rey. s. G. Gregg, Congregationalist, Boston, Mass.
 Dishonesty steal ride on a car is dishonesty as truly as stealing a street To steal a nickel Is theft as truly as If millions are involved. To refuse to pay debt Is robbery as truly as burglary or holdup. To evade just taxes is dlshonorable as truly as graft.-Rey. John Thompson, Methodist, Chicago, III.
 Work.-The greatest secret of sue cess is work, work, work! feel sorry for the mar who wants and cannot get it but I pity the man who can get work and does not want 1t. Judgment economy and the like are important clements in success, but all these are worthless without work.-Rey. L. NJ. Zimmerman, Lutheran, Baltimore, Md.
 The Banner of Japan.-The banner of Japan is 8 white flag with a rising sun in the center. Around that stand ard nearly 50,000,0O0 of persons rally. And 1t is the conquering flag in the Orient to-day because the Japanese are willing to pay the tremendous price that 1t costs to display 1t to the world. Rev o. R. Jenks, Adventist, Chicago, III.
 Hormany.-What Is needed among men to-day is not microscopic analysis of Gods nature, character, and rela- tons to mankind, but personal har- mony with Him, that intimate knowl- edge of Him that comes only by con stant, willing and unreserved obedi- ence to all His known will.-Rey. F. B. Cherington, Methodist, Los Angeles, Cal.
 Certainty.-No man can be a Chris tian without being sure that he is Christian. If man Is saved man 1t is the first fact in his existence, yet people often base on wrong grounds their belief that they are saved. A man is not saved simply because he believes certain things about Jesus Christ.-Rev. G. B. Yosburgh, Baptist, Denver, Colo.
 Upon Being Prepared.-The first great lesson taught by militant Japan is lesson to our nation. It Is the duty of preparedness. Japan has been victorious because for many years she has had the eventuality of this war in mind and 30 was ready to strike the first blow, which gave her the control of the sea. It was the effectiveness of this first blow which has made possi- ble all of the subsequent martial ca reer, the successive victories of the Yalu, Liaoyang, Port Arthur and Muk- den.-Rev. J. A. Milburn, Congrega- tionalist, Chicago, III.
