 The world is civilized just in so far as it has become religious and not one particle beyond.-Hev. Dr MinOt J. Savage, Unitarian, New York.
 Educational Value of the Bible.
 From the point of educated literature the Bible is simply prc-eminent. It en- lightens and enlarges the minds of it's readers. It is impossible to be thorough Biblical student and remain d small souled man.-Rev. r. K. San- ders, Presbyterian, New Haven, Conn.

 In Heaven.
 In this world we note the succession of time Tn the other world We lose track of time. It is an eternity Here we have a few intimate friends and gaze inertly at the rest of tbe world. Over there VIC shall be brought into closer relationship with men.-Itev W. E. Bentley, Episcopalian, New York.
 A Life to Be Lived.
 Christianity does not consist in psalm singing or prayer saying or even in churchgoing; it is life to be lived. He who would do what Christ would have him do for his neighbor in his con- version will work along his own n- dividual lines. doing his neighbor all the good he can.-Rev. J. X. Jaynes, Dis ciple, Pittsburg.
 Mightiest of Nations.
 Those nations of today where there Is the most of tender care, the most sym pathy. pity, love, where the incompe- tent and the poor and the weak are best cared for, are the mightiest in bat tie if 1t comes to war, mghtiest in finance, mightiest in manufacture, mightiest in all that goes to make up a strong national life.-Eev. Minot J. Savage, Unitarian, New York
 Bible In the Public Schools.
 Intelligence and morality should go together to produce true citizenship, but instead of the Bible it's enemies de sire to put it out and let the dance take it's place. Dancing has no part in the public schools. The buildings were not erected for such purpose We have no right to abuse the public con- fdence and misuse public funds in such manner As a strictly business proposition the dance has no place in our public school buildings. Things such as that affect our whole educa- tional system. If any mistake is to be made let us make it on the side of right. The Bible has never done any harm; the dance has done much evil We can make no mistake if we keep the one in and the other out of our public schoois.-Rev. W. w. Bustard Baptist, Boston.
