Enlarging Our Nature.
The wider a mans nature. The
broader his sympathies. the larger
his outlook, the more cosmic his
heart, the fewer viii be the number
OF those who know him. Real great
ness is always an isolation. Jesus
seems to pass through the story of
the New Testament, the hero of IL
all, and yet a stranger to It all, mis-
understood, misconstrued, and at
last betrayed by the ignorance of an
apostle unto the equally ignorant
hate of his enemies. Strange figure,
indeed, He moves among the multi
tude, yet is not of them He speaks
words of thrilling import TO men
who feel them,, who remember them,
yet who cannot comprehend them
Rev. Charles Brown, Baptist.
Need OF Divine Assistance.
The flesh lusteth against the spiT-
1. of God, and the spirit against the
flesh, and until the end there VIII be
many a hot fight and many q drawn
battle. no one can afford to go forth
TO his life without divine assistance.
No one can ignore the means OF
grace without impairing the hope OF
glory The husbandman works his
fields and then awaits the sunshine
and the rain which come from heav-
ems windows The Christian who
does his best my count upon Gods
almighty aid and in some mysterious
way there shall be impaired to him
the perfect Righteousness of the di-
vine man, Jesus Christ.--Rev. Henry
Swentzel, Episcopal.
Guarding Against Profanity.
An encouraging sign OF the times
is the rapid spread OF the Holy Name
Society IN the Roman Catholic
Church, which forbids profanity and
inculcates reverence for the divine
name. A more general organization
is the Anti-Profanity Society, which
Is finding many adherents Out OF
consideration for the purity of the
Mother tongue, for the careful use of
words, for refinement and elegance
of speech and for the name of Him
of whom 1t is written, Holy and
revered is His name" simple. clean
and chaste language is to be pro-
moted.-Rev. VIM. 7. Ellis, Pres
byterian.
Attaining the Goal.
Without the hope of heaven the
impulse of life is sorely weak A
godly ideal and disbelief in the fu-
ture are everlastingly Incompatible.
Tell man that death means destruc-
tion and all precious things will be
married. Speak to him of heaven,
and how speedily viii your message
awaken the good slumbering in his
heart, and how earnestly will he con
slider the duty and the privilege Of
making ready for the glorious change
which awaits him. An unfading
prize stimulates the most sluggish
activities.--Re Howard Melish,
Episcopal.
Obeying the Call.
The hereafter calls us TO make
ready for heaven, and to make ready
for heaven is only to make the most
of ourselves and our opportunities.
To make ready for heaven is to learn
to love and worship Christ, to follow
in His steps, to cherish His virtues,
to battle for the right, and to live in
the spirit of a splendid chivalry.
Everybody who is an alien to Christ
gives the lie to the eternal hope: Re
is in substance and effect an atheist
because he thinks and lives as
though there were no God. no heav-
en- and no endless blessedness. -
Rev. Henry Swentzel. Episcopal.
Revealing Our Faith.
You remember Christ's words, do
men gather grapes of thorns. or figs
Of thistles?" The man who rises
from his knees with the glow OF the
divine communion upon his face, the
man whose faith hath rade him a
partaker Of the power Of God. and
who then goes forth to live for Life
which his faith hath revealed to him,
is the man of whom alone Christ will
not be ashamed when He cometh in
the glory Of His Father and Of the
holy angels to judge the world
Rev. Chas. Woodruff, Methodist.
