RELIGIOUS THOUGHT.
Gems Cleaned from Teachings
OF All Denominations.

True poverty is a state of heart which
enables us to receive the fullness Of the
life beyond.-Rev e3PauI A. Mcneil,
Lutheran, washington.
STRUGGLE OF LIFE.
The financial struggles of life not only
earn bread for our children, but also
unlimited joys for our own healthful,
physical and mental existence.-Rev.
DR.. Frank De Witt Talmage, Presby-
terrain, Los Angeles.
SELF CONTROL.
The most perfect result of the spirit
Of God in a man is self control. That
is what Paul means when he says. 1.-The
fruit of the Spirit is-temperance.' -
Rev. DR.. Frank Crane, Unitarian, Wor-
cesteF, Mass.
CHIEF OF AMBITIONS.
The highest ambition to shine is as
a Christian. 1t is holy ambition that
every one may possess, that reason die
tates, that conscience approves, that
heaven commends.-Rev. DR.. John L.
Brandt, Christian Church, st. Louis.
JOY IN CHRISTIANITY.
There is not enough of joy in Chris
tians, and its absence indicates failure
to discern the actual presence of one
who comes to set all wrong things right
and to forever Danish the gloom in
which sin has enveloped us.-Rev. Dr.
w. J. Williamson, Baptist, St Louis.
THE DOOM OF A NATION.
Our world lives through the industry
of the truest men and women in it in
the moral sphere, and if there is no love
being generated by unselfish hearts and
no faith by pure minds and no moral in
SEPARATION by brave souls a nation is
doomed.-Rev. DR.. John Douglass Ad-
ans, Reformed, Brooklyn.
CRIME.
Reforms may come and reforms may
go but crime goes on forever, and the
explanation of it all is that public vir-
tue is an intangible, sporadic force not
a IvavS tn he relied 1lDOn while evil is a
constant power having vested interests
and exerting mighty influence over
men by appealing to their pleasure and
profit as they see it from their lower
nature.-Rev. A. A. Ross, Uniyersalist,
Chicago.
MEETING ONES SOUL.
It is a dreadful thing when a man
stands face to face with himself and
realizes that he is a sham; that he is
dishonest-without character It is a
horrible thing for q man thus to read
his own soul, meet his soul face to face
and realize that he is a rogue. A man
can get away from his wife, he can leave
his children and friends, his home; he
can leave his own country, but, go where
he will, in the farthest corner of God s
earth, he will stand face to face with
himself, robbed of his honesty, his in
tegrity, his character.-Rev. r. P.
Johnston, Baptist, New York

CONTAMINATION BY SIN.

to digress from the path of righteous
ness SO far that those who were once
his friends and acquaintance must
needs look askance at him is often
brought face to face with what he
might have made of himself had he
not sinned so deeply. Those people
must feel a deep regret that they had
not taken heed in time and prevented
themselves from going so far. The
fact that sin not only communicates
the flesh, but also robs the sinner of
the blessings of heaven, should deter
each one of US before we have taken
a step in the wrong direction. If men
would display as much judgment in
preparing for their Starvation as they
do in business there would be many
more Christians:-Rev- J. Howard
Gibbons, Point Pleasant County, West
Virginia.
''PLUG!" SAYS A MINISTER.
It is not laziness or bad habits that
keep men down as much as it is bad
advice and bad example. Many young
men have been switched into the ditch
of nire by some preacher exhorting
them to follow impractical ideals.
Also, a host of men have been kept
down by So called leaders who promise
by organization to make one man,
without any effort on his part, worth
as much as another man. Then there
are the political demagogues between
whose platform before and whose per-
formances after election there is about
as much relation as between a loaf of
bread and a rock. And finally there is
that prince of liars who is always dis
couraging his fellow man with some
pipe dream of a way to the top of the
old ladder which is like taking an ele-
vator instead of climbing the steps.
What we all need is to get word
/ branded upon our minds. It is a
/ homely word of the street, but in it
| are the possibilities of millions OF
4 happy homes and big fortunes and
/ clean lives It is this, Get a job in a
! decent business, then plug.''-Rev.
