love Of work and not for money that
we can say happy man is trudglng
along the Highway Of true success

a model one which does not contain
some of the Lords poor, to whom 1t
was especially designed that the gos-
pei should be preached.-Rev. DR.. Rob
ert NJ. Green, Methodist, Brooklyn.

science or industry. Rev. w. II. Pulls

owe the world debt of manliness,
character and work.-Rev. r. K. White,
Presbyterian, New York.
The Satisfying Life.
The sooner we realize that man lives
not for bread alone, that the true end
of life is not to please the body, but
discipline the spirit; that the satisfying
life Is the life fed from the heights, the
sooner shall we devote ourselves to the
essential.-Rev. DR., Arthur Mather
Episcopalian, st. Louis.

] him an intuition of right and wrong
! To keep the Judgment true Is the great

and it is necessary to have time ano
means to have the conscience or judg
ment quickened and made true.-Rev
Alex Esler, Disciple, Toronto.

things valuable are dangerous. Steam

used and not expended for selfish pun
poses.-Rev. DIR. e ii. Ward, Episco
palian, Pittsburg.
