 GoaDe1 Of Peace.
 Once We understand and possess the gospel of peace there will spring into Us an earnest desire to see it spread and enjoyed by all. It will show Us means of cooperation in the good work of devoted men whose lives have been consecrated to the preaching of the gospel of peace. The poor missions of our own country will appeal to us, and we will help them by our prayers and our aims To bring this gospel of peace to those ill darkness ;.i1d iD the shadow of death is the best means of preparing ourselves for the coming of the King of Peace.

 Children Ia tie Church.
 Let Us turn for one moment to the matter of church attendance. 1 am al ways glad when 1 see children at church. The Sunday school is usurp- ing the place of the church to such all extent that it is thought not proper to take the children to church. I wish ev- cry single child ill thIs parish might be in church every Sunday morning. believe that the influence of this habit Of being in church. of feeling that they are a part of 1t. of feeling that it Is eX neeted of them that they will come, is more important than anything else that you can give in the way of religious training If the church is the best realization of your religious ideal that you can practically attain, then I be- lievc that there is nothing finer for the children than that they should grow up to feel that they are a part of it.-Rev. Dr. Minot J. Savage, Unitarian, New York

The res S..frection is just ahead for ey cry clucilied truth The man on horse- bac:. clothed With authority is not al ways ill possession of the truth. The truth is more often in the possession of tie little man on foot, thrown from his lorse and blinded and led into the city So and only so. does Saul of Tarsus become a witness to the gOs- pei. Prosecutors may bring the wit nesses of Jesus to wild beasts or to haIL es, but their eXultant testimony will convert more in their death than in fife. Tyran1s and inGuisitors may cut out the tongues or slip a redhot ring on to the tongue preparatory to death as a precaution against audible testimony but the radiance of the face they cannot erase nor the triumphant spirit Quench.-Rev. Lincoln Hollister Caswel, Methodist, Brooklyn.
 Worship.
 With a great longing in my heart, desire to stand with all my brethren, of every name, in the urgent plea they make for the presence Of all those who feel there will be help for them in the house of the Lord-nay, for those also who do not feel this assurance but still know they need help, or those who would fain help others. Are you borne down by the burden of your sin ard feel as though it was shame to meet with those who have no such trouble: Never mind. If there is help for you anywhere on the earth it is in the house of the Lord, and there is help for you here beyond all question. Do you think you could do better alone? l doubt that but if 1 was sure of it I would
