RELIGIOUS THOUGHT.
Gems Cleaned From the Teachings
of All Denominations.

IDcTc are tlIleS Wueu tuere IS more
religion In % cents than in long pray
er. Help your brother In need.-Rev.
NJ. c. Brooks, African Methodist,

Faith abounds and hope is sure, and
new earth and that there is to be no
more sea. - Rev. James Eells, Uni

Thought.
We have passed out Of the era when
tnen think for each other, and now,
conscious Of his own personal power,
man thinks for hlmself-Rev. @. ].
Harris. Unversalist, Atlanta, Ga.
Loves Law.
Give and take is the law of love.
Give and take is loves warp and woof.
The fabric will fray and be useless
when the threads run only one way
Rev. Dr. Frank Crane, Congregational
ist, Worcester, Mass.
Conception of Christian Life.
The highest conception Of the Chris
tian life which this generation seems
to have accepted Is to be found in the
words. Follow Me!' as uttered by
Christ 1t is thoroughly Biblical-Rev.
G. D. Case, Baptist, Brooklyn.
Selfshness.
Seishness is not compatible with
true humanity. One man affects for
good or evil all other men; therefore
each is responsible for oil, and to the
uplifting Of all what of talent and
strength one has must be given and
cOnsecrated.-Dr. Emil c.. Hrsch, Rab-
bi, Chicago.
UngOvernab1e Tempers.
A large percentage Of ungOvernable
'tempers can be charged directly or In
against wrong parental train
ing. Teach your children to obey;
teach them to recognize other peoples |
rights, as other people must respect |
their rghts-Rev DR.. Frank De Witt |
Talmage. Presbyterian, Los Angeles,
Cal
Products of Faith.
Faith dwells in peace because 1t rests
upon the unseen. 1t triumphs because
it works in the power Of God; it en-
dures because it builds upon the eter-
nal word Weakness, worldliness and
fear are the products of unbelief. while
strength. courage and victory are the
invariable products Of faith.-Rev. e.
Duckworth, EpiscOpalian, st. Louis.
The Universal Father.
To believe in God as the universal
Father is TO bring him down from the
Of the imagination and to
permit him to become the only needed
factor In the solution Of every problem
which life presents. To accept as a
obligation the great fact Of
the brotherhood of man is to set in mo-
ton mighty tide of love which shall
lrown every sorrow, sweep away sin
md bear humanity on its bosom up to
he very throne Of the most high.-Rev.
Everett Dean Ellenwood, Universalist,
Atlanta. Ga iC
World Betterment.
When the best has been said for
couplet, Goods in his
eaven; alIs right with the world" it I
ontains a tremendous falsehood The
II wise, all loving, all present, all pow

lany people choosing the willful wrong

a better world, but all is not -

le world until we continually choose "

Future of the Church. II
The church of twenty-five years from W

Its membership all of every race,
ime and sect who love Christ and are ,
ylng to duplicate his life Christian "

Pleasure In Life.
The church has until lately set it's W. W,
&c against pleasure. Even now it a.
arcely seems to appreciate the deep oh.
cial Importance Of pleasure in life. 60
my churches decry dancing, bill os a@'
rds. cards and various forms Of d. ~
rslon which are not In themselves "
ong. The fact is, love Of pleasure W
a primal want, a deep seated neces- ~
y of normal life. Proper pleasure " az
'es health to body, recreation to the p.o pso
nd and makes for good morals. pr
ung people love dancing and games n. aio
! the social companionship which 20,
IS with these things. They have a O,n
ht to them. Home, church and state Sne
ich do not provide proper diversion 0o'
