Hems From the Teachfns
Of All Denominations.
Personality warns life into color an
thrills 1t into music. Negative. ueutra
men are Of no power and Of sma]
value. Rev. ]. F. Carson. Presbyte
rian, Brooklyn.
Shining Poems.
Our prayers, when they leave us. ar
paltry enough, but when they reacl
heaven and the angels interpret then
they are shining poems. -Rev. Dr
Frank Crane, Congregationalist. Wor
cester, Mass.
Work Is the SOU trying to get ,tse,,
into the open; work Is the means of 9
mans manifestation Of his spirit: work
Is the talking out loud of the soul.
work is that thing whereby we show
what faculties God has endowed us
with.-Rev. William A. Quayle, Metho-
dist, Chicago.
Natures Way.
A good man prays for rain. His
neighbor, equally good, asks for fair
weather. Which prayer does God an
swer? Neither. The laws of nature
that govern raining and shining pursue
their course, a. though no one had
prayed.-Rev. DR.. Moore Sanborp. Uni

Cross Bearing.
The man that has gone down into the
human heart and sounded the depths
Of its sorrows and sympathized with
Its sufferings in others, as Christ has
done, is best fitted to bear his own
cross when the hand Of adyersity
heavily upon him. Cardinal
James Gibbons, Roman Catholic. Bal

Menac to Society.
There are people who are patterns of
good morals and yet steal away the
which other people have in
heir surroundings and possessions. A

imists and those gloomy. morbid per- |
ons who make a business of robbing |
Their people of the music and sunshine
I life.-Rev. j. NJ. Marley, Congre-
ationalist, Denver.
Christian Perfection.
The individual man, while subject to
lffering and pain and mental anguish,
not brought nearer to God unless
suffering has its origin In love for
Is people or his fellows. 1t was
hrist's mission to become perfect
trough suffering, and the Christians
ERECTION comes from Christian suf-
getting thereby the light of
'aven. The selfish and worldly soul
unges only into darkness.-Rev. G..
Van De Water, Episcopalian, New
There is no JOY this side Of glory like
e joy Of being anointed with the oil
gladness. Storms do not touch It.
eed cannot move 1t. 1 have had in
time as many sorrows, difficulties |
q discouragements to contend with
any man among you, yet neither
rows, difficulties, discOuragements
r failures have v touched that Joy
a moment. 1t is like q great river
canning through my heart 365 days
the year.-Rev. DR.. Reuben A. Tor
:, Evangelist. Chicago.
