GPeatness
Social ascendency, whether accompa
MED by wealth, intellect or power, does
not create greatness. That consists
merely in childlike simplicity, candor
and docility, and only those who pos.

A FuIIness of Blessing.
There Is coming morning when God
will put into our hands a fullness OF
blessing, everything that our hearts
have ever craved; our shattered hopes
will then be all fulfilled; there will be
nothing forever more save perfect hap
piness and completed glory.-Rev. DR.
G. 81. Hawkins, Methodist, st. Louis.
In Heaven.
In this world we note the succession
of time. In the other world we lose
track Of time. 1t is an eternity. Here
we have a few intimate friends and
gaze inertly at the rest of the world
closer relationship with men.-Rev. w
e. Bentley, Episcopalian, New York
Life to BE Lived.
Christianity does not consist in psalm
singing or prayer saying or even in
churchgoing; 1t 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 in
dividual lines, doing his neighbor all the
good he can.-Rev. ]. A. Jaynes, Dis
ciple, Pittsburg.
Mighttest 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, mightiest in
finance, mightieSt in manufacture,
mightiest In all that goes to make up
strong national life.-Rev. Minot ].
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 1t out and let the dance take
its place. Dancing has no part in the
public schools. The buildings were not
erected for such a purpose. We
have no right to abuse the public con-
t1dence 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 schools.-Rev. w. w. Bastard,
Baptist, Boston.
Education Along Peace Lines.
Instead of teaching so many the art
rising generation along lines of peace
and Of the evils Of war, except in eX-
IRENE cases, might be more profitable
as branch of study in our schools and
colleges. AS much as we honor the
sword Of our president which he bore
in the battle for his country we honor
still more the pen which Roosevelt
welded for the sake of peace be-
tween warning nations, for surely the
latter was just as brave and patriotic
an act as the former, and for it our
worthy president will be remembered
long after his charge at San Juan hill
will have been forgotten. The greatest
war of all to be waged is that against
evil. War against all kinds Of dis
honesties. grating. deceit, wickedness
in high places, vice, crime and the like,
these are things against which we may
all rightly and most vigorously war
with might and soul Satan is marshal
ing his forces, and mighty are his ar
mics, at the head of which he adj
vances. The church of God needs,
therefore, to be awake to its duty and
every soldier Of the cross to be assign
ed to duty and be trustworthy to the
place lest vantage grounds be surren-
dered to the enemy. We must be true
to our cOlors and faithful to our trust.
and with God and the right we are
sure of victory. Hold the fortr' is the
Lords cry. BY his grace we will
