Gems From the Teachings
OF All Denominations.

GENE Cleaned From the Teachfnx,
OF All Denominations.
You cannot dream yourself into 6
character; you must hammer and
forge yourself one.-Rev. DR.. Madison
@. Peters, Baptist, New York.
Model Wife.
The model wife is cOnsecrated WON.
anhoOd, building itself through the
days and weeks and years into the
lives Of her loved ones.-Rev. A. r.
Lambert, Methodist, Chicago.
Opposed to Spirit Of Greed.
The word Of God has no quarrel with
money, much less with men of means.
but Is emphatic in its %denunciation of
the spirit Of greed and ~covetousness for
all ages alike.-Rev. w. A. Jones, Pres
byterian, Knoxville, Pa.
The Refuse of Life.
Jesus sought the refuse Of life for his
disciples and his followers. He reach
ed under men to lift them up. He
touched the common people till they
rose to do his will.-Rev. Moore San
born, Unitarian, Atlanta, Ga.
Heroic Catholics.
Never be ashamed Of being O Cath
Ollie. Boldly declare your belief in
Catholicity, and you will prove your
self to be greater heroes than many
the world has crOwned.-Archbishop
Farley, Roman Catholic, New York.
Mountain Top Assurance.
If we are true and faithful, the lone
Hest day of our religious experience
may be followed by the mountain top
assurance. 1t may come to us when
we, like the Master, are praying for
light and guidance at life's dividing
line.-Rev. j. 3. TOOmay, Congregation
alist, st. Louis.
Value of Suffering.
We are at our best when in trial and
trouble. Our hottest hours are those
spent in trial and bereavement. Our
souls profit more by smiles than by
tears, but we should not weep or smile
always. God sends suffering to make
us perfect, but he does not want us to
suffer all Of the time.-Rev. @. r. Van
DE Water. ~EpiscOpalian, New York.
A Union Of Minds.
Marriage is essentially a union of
minds in the goods and truths Of Gods
wisdom. This Is the ideal for the
young. They should be taught to look
for and pray for this kind of marriage
and keep themselves pure for It's sake;
pray to be led to that husband or wife
with whom there can be this union of
minds, which shall be eternal in the
heavens. - Rev. II. Clinton, Sweden
borgian, Boston.
Glorious Faculties.
Reason is a glorius faculty, and her
achievements are wonderful, but faith
is a more glorious faculty, and her
achievements are infinitely higher than |
those Of reason. Any age which glori-
ies reason at the expense Of faith mar
rows Its horizon, clips the wings Of its |
aspiration and brings upon itself an
essentially small and prosaic life. So
it was in the eighteenth century, when
~rationalism was so glorifed and exalt-
ed. So, too. In this age, there are in
dications that the period Of analysis, |
criticism and skepticism has passed
and that n new era Of faith, with It's
resulting religious power, Is now dawn
ing upon the world.-Rev. John Roach
Straton, Baptist, Chicago.

Founding a Church
To form a new church in any COM
nunity is a great thing, but not a diff
icult thing. for when two people come
Ogether in the S%aviour's name-though
t is better when three come-there is
church there. for all purposes. and 7
lie is in the midst of them. Now, it
nay be granted that in planting such i
seed the first necessity is to throw l
,ut roots. You must not look for
items, leaves or flowers first. Roots !
irst and these afterward. Still, for {
sake, let nobody forget that q
caves and flowers and eventually
ruit are what the seed is planted for. d
f a church only roots itself, it might I
S well not be. The coming of the u
-ingdom of God is the object, and the
My object, for which this church is
