RELIGIOUS THOUGHT.
Gems Cleaned From ths TeacHinsa
OF All Demon; ;inations.

Right Worship.
True worship is the soul In commun-
ION with its God. Whatever exigency
may arise in human life the soul seeks
relief in talking with God.-ReV. DE-
W. II. W. Rees. Methodist, Pittsburg.
Religions Perfect Work.
Religion does not have It's perfect
work in us when it makes US do right
in order to win some future reward,
but when it enables US so to live that
each day Is worth while.-:ReT. Dr.
Frank Crane, Unitarian, Worcester,
Mass.
Hate, Fear and Love.
Hate is the demon Of iiscord and
moves man on to hell. Fear is the dis
cord and arrangement of doubt. Love
is the angel of reconciliation leading us
Oh to happiness and to heaven.-Rev.
Daniel H Overton, Presbyterian,
Brooklyn.
Need of More Faith.
We want more faith in Faith. We
want to place her upon the highest
throne, as the faculty. common to all
men, OF entering into and appropriat-
ing the unseen spiritual world.-Rev.
DR.. Roland Cotton Smith, EpiscoDa-
lian, Washington.
A Modern Weed.
The worlds need today Is q return to
Christ--a fresh understanding Of his
consciousness Of himself, new sur
render in all tie areas Of their being,
practical. intellectual and spiritual, to
the regenerating power Of his divine
personality. Rev DR.. Charles A
Eaton, Baptist, Cleveland, 0.
Science and Religion.
Science. or, rather, scientism, for OF
science we must always speak with
love and adn;ra ton, has failed in all
It's pretentions in SO far as 1t was op-
posed to religion. It IS bankrupt, as
Brunetiere says, and, as Balfour says,
The foundations Of belief are still Sc
cure."-Rev. DE-. D. J. Stafford, Roman
Catholic, Washington.
How to Glorify God.
The only effective way Of glorifying
God is by living worthy Of our calling
and having power In our lives. It is
not by what we profess, but by what.
we do; not so much by singing his
praises as by living his life. We glo-
rify him by the name Of Christian, but
much more by the character Of Chris
tan Rev. Bernard Powell Smith,
Christian Church, Atlanta.
Work For Each Church Member.
Each member should fnd his compile
uent somewhere and 10 man or wom-
an In the church Should be doing moth
ing. We ought not to wait until our
part turns up" as so many seem to
do. We should seek for our place ard
part. for such search will be evidence
Of our sincerity and our finding it viii
be proof Of our success--Rev. George
Lloyd, Episcopaiian, St. Louis.
Building Up of Character.
Character IS built up by an accumu-
lation of small things faithfully done.
Men 60 to ruin by aeglecting small
virtues and then greater ones and
finally are irretrievably lost. The
things taat make US happy in this life
and are necessary to it are very COM
mon things after ell. Benedict Arnold
on his deathbed said to his physician
he had just one want He wanted one
friend.-Rev. C. J. Tannar, Christian
Church, Detroit.
Effect Of Socialism.
The rule OF Socialism would be rule
Of tyranny, the tyranny Of the average,
Of the commonplace. Everything new
and fresh would be siienced. Nature
is against this sort Of thing. Evolu-
ton is only another name Cor growth
away from sameness toward ever in
creasing complexity believe that by
and by there is to be grander type OF
what you may call socialism II you
please, better than the world has ever
seen, but it will be entirely free from
are trying to establish now It Will
be the free cooperation Of perfected
individuality, all working together i'm
PEELED by the love Of the common good.
There Is Dc use in giving people free
democratic institutions until they can
appreciate them and guard them and
make the best Of them.-Rev. Dr.. A.not
]. Savage, Unitarian, New York.
Value OF Cooperation.
Every Industrious human life that Is
successful always co-operates with
other lives. Every ideal human organ
ization on large scale must be per-
feet human ant hive. Everywhere hui
man talent should be specialized What
especial niche are you going to I'LL In
the great human beehive? When I go
and closely examine the wonderful mo
sale floors and walls and ceilings Of
the Alhambra Of the old Spanish Moors
I do not find these individual stones
very valuable in themselves. Many Of
them are only common pebbles tat ne

gutter. But when these common peb-
bles, as individuals, are cut and pol
ished and placed side By side In con-
trast with other stones they form the
beautiful mosaics Of the Alhambra,
which are one OF the marvels Of this
century. You as an individual may not
amount to much, but If cut and pol
ished and fitted into the right niche for
which you were intended by God you
can become part Of the perfect walls
Of the Temple Beautiful. Like the ant,
will you be worker, living under au-
therity? Will you be a cooperative
worker? VIII you serve the commu-
nifty in which you live By doing the
work for which you are especially 1T
ted by brain and body as faithfully
and willingly and wisely as the singIs
ant performs her allotted task In 8
