thoughts here on earth make our
heaven or hell for us. The cross and
redemption are indissolubly united. for
only through the cross may redemp-
ton be had.-Rev f. L. Powell, Dis
ciple. Louisville Ky.
True Religion-Many a devout man
has been helpless fool in practical
affairs. And let no man think he can
be- Christian and be lazy. The re-
ligious life that prays loud and long
and shirks responsibility is misera-
BILE caricature of true religion.-Rev.
NJ. c. Hartzell, Methodist, Chicago. Ill.
Observation-Disclosures is the cor
nerstone Of all civil and social life.
Why is this unless it be that the edu-
Gated man is seen to be sounder in his
moral judgments. truer to the ideals
he cherishes, and safer in the leader
ship which he offers than the man
without formal education Rev. T..
II. Capen, Congregationalist, Medford,
Mass
Earthly Pleasures. - Can earthly
pleasures make one so happy as to
leave nothing to be desired. Assured
ly not. They that indulge in sensual
qualification are forced to acknowl-
edge that the deeper they plunge the
more they are enslaved and the less
they are satisfied by them. The keen
edge Of delight soon becomes blunted.
Cardinal Gibbons, Roman Catholic,
Baltimore, Md.
| Church intermediary church car
ries the gospel message by its every
outward appearance and speaks to ev-
cry heart Of its divine purpose. The
mere sight of men, women or children
going or returning from church or Sun
day school gives its message to the

will find in the great sermon the Sa-
vior uttered.-Rev. c. o. Jones, Meth.
odist, Atlanta. Ga.
| Liberty.-The meaning Of the mod
ern university is the liberty Of the
world in the realization of intelli-
gence. The meaning Of the great So

world in the realization of athy.
The meaning of the great industrial
movement is the liberty Of the world
in individual and collective better
ment.-Rev. n. Boynton, Congregation
alist, Brooklyn, n. Y.
Pain and Effort-Al the great
souls Of history have sweat
blood in the performance of their
work. The men who have projected
mighty movements in history, the men
who fought the devils Of society and
the men who lay the devils within
themselves, must grid themselves for
struggles, social and personal All
progress is through pain and effort
Rev. L. Hulley, Baptist, Baltimore.

Redemption.-Ada fell and sin
came. Redemption was purchased by
slain Jesus and risen Lord; and we
now each week celebrate His day Of
| resurrection, in combination with wOr-
ship of God who commanded, and the
world was, and who showed His SUI
preme love for man in sacrificing for
our redemption. Christ, His Son, in
whom He was well pleased.-Rev. A..

Human Weakness.-Christ knew He
had all power. that He was from God
and that he was going to God after
the wrath of men had spent itself
upon Him. With this knowledge Of
His authority and power, He knew
the weakness, the narrowness and
darkness Of the human hearts about
Him. 1t took all the majesty and
Godlikeness that He had to cope with
their human frailty and error He
gave them an example Of ministry in
a mental capacity and babe them do
likewise.-Rev. E. =. Farnham, Bap.
