RELIGIOUS THOUGHT.

of All Denominations.
The Jew can be trusted with arms,
because Of all human beings he is
freest of murderous hatred. - Rabbi
Charles Fieischer, Boston.
What IL a Christianr
To be a Christian means simply be-
lieving in Christ, following Christ, con-
Tossing Christ.-Rev. Earl C. Cleeland,
Presbyterian, Brooklyn.
Only Line He Ever Wrote.
The only line Jesus ever wrote was
in the sand, and no one was ever wise
enough to know what was written
Rev. Moore Sanborn, Unitarian, Attain
Ia, Ga.
A Right Life.
The Golden Rule simply means that a
right life implies q cultured magma
ton, able and habituated to put oneself
in our brothers place.-Rev. DR.. Frank
Crane, Congregationalist, Worcester,
Mass.
Mission Of the Church.
There would be no necessity for state
asylums, almshouses, hospitals or
schools for the poor If the church of
God did her duty and was performing
her mission In the world.-Rev. A. r.
Holderby, Baptist, Atlanta, Ga.
Life's Richest Blessings.
The greatest blessings arrive by the
way of sorrow. One who has never
suffered cannot enjoy ife's richest
blessings. One who has never been
encircled by the cloud Of sorrow can
not appreciate the brightness Of the
day.-Rev. John l.. Roemer, Presby-
terrain, st. Louis.
Habit conserves good, but it also con-
serves evil. 1t is like a two edged
sword that cuts both ways. 1t is an
angel Of life to save a man who sets
his face toward God and a messenger
of death to destroy a man who sets his
face toward evil.-Rev. Worth NJ. Tip
Ply, Methodist, Cleveland, O.
A Need IN Social Life.
Blessed are those who do hunger and
thirst after righteousness in social life.
What the social life needs is a strong
infusion Of righteousness, so that there
shall be considerateness, charitable
ness, modesty, temperance, healthy
amusement and intelligence.-Rev. S.
II. Harris, Methodist, Amherst, Mass.
A Fruitful Subject.
He'll may not be a very cheering sub
ject for reflection, but it is certaiAly a
very fruitful one, for it teaches most
emphatically the solemn dignity of life,
and it asserts most forcibly the truth
that the final triumph belongs to justice
and TO righteousness. Rev. Father
Thomas I. Gasson, Roman Catholic,
Boston.
The giant of truth is still walking
through u present day world and
making men his subjects and servants.
This is the old but ever new power to
which our new age owes SO much and
to which it is indebted for hat which
is highest and best in our civilization
Rev. DR.. A. n. Stephens, Presbyterian,
Chicago.
Goals of Human Life.
Idleness and pleasure seeking are no
worthy goals Of human life, however
rich a man may be. Every man must,
like God, seek a task worthy of his
powers, and the greater his wealth the
must be the strenuousness of
bis life. TO do aught else is to fail, no
how much the base world rem
ders homage to tinsel and gilt.-Rev.
X. Brennan, ~Episcepalian, st. Louis.
Christian Life the Only Normal One.
The Christian life is truly the nor
NAL life, and there Is no other life like
unto it. The most decisive argument
In favor of the Christian life as q
normal n is that Of experience. The
man who lives according to the pre-
,epts of Christ will lead a useful and
satisfying existence, whereas he who
1issipates and lives not according to
hose precepts will not.-Rev. A. K. De
Blois. Baptist, Chicago.
Fellowship of the Cross.
The cross Is for all time the best rev.
Of divine love. 1t does not ex-
)lain away pain. but 1t brings God into
t. II the world had never heard of a
Christ who endured suffering for the
'ake of his Saviourhood, we should be
lsking for him today. Those who have
into the fellowship Of the cross
ire those who know most about the
fellowship Of love.-Rev. r. j. Camp
veil, E~piscopalian, Denver.
Need Of Abundant Life. !.
We live in an age which demands
bundant life. The battle of life is too
cree and continuous for a weak body
r an unframed mind or a low spiritual {
Our success during our stay
n earth Is to be measured by the [
mount and kind Of life that we draw I
