to act Him. No dogma so grand as
kind acts.-Rev. +. l.. Mason, Scientist.

treason.-Rev. NJ. Simons, Unitarian,

er's career.-Rev. G. B. mitchell, Meth

God in u proper manner.-Eey. Il. q.
Williams. I~dpiscopalian, Anaconda.

Gods K~ingdom-The best men, with
widest spiritual horizon, have never
surveyed in all its extent the kingdom
Of God. Often the high spiritual mean
ing has been missed and men have said
the words Thy Kingdom come with
grotesque mental pictures in their
thoughts--Rev. J. 7. Bradley, Metho-
dist, Atlanta.
Home Life.-No home can exist ex-
cept by yicarious service upon the parts
of fathers and mothers. There can be
no real home for children who are Civ
en- over to the care OF servants. The
very rich generally have no homes,
hence the constant rOtting off of society
at the top.-Rev. J. FL. Harris. Presby-
terrain, Lewisburg. Pa.
Eternity.-The way to strip for eter-
nifty Is not to prepare to die, bat to
live; not to prepare to meet God as
though He were approached from a dis
lance but to find Him in ones soul.
What we need is not freedom from the
body, but freedom from that Limitation
of which the body is a symbol.-Rev. B.

successful from the standpoint of the
church and the state is by no means
so rare as long-haired men and short
haired women would have us believe

The Home-In the home there should
be more affairs of prayer. Many are
tumbled down and need repairing,
There is a wonderful power attached
to the earnest prayer of a parent, and
the home that has its altar for family
devotion is apt to be 4 home Of happi-
ness, for Gods blessing will rest upon
that home.-Rev. L. NJ. Zimmerman,
Lutheran. Baltimore.
Nature.-Give the old earth time
enough and she will spin a web of
green on every muddy quagmire, en-
boss the oak with Tilted Iichen, mantle
the ruined wall with ivy, cover every
wreck with Il veil of vines, and work
and knit n weave away until the
last repulsive object has been trans
formed into a vision of grace-Rev.
Frank Crane. Baptist, Worcester, Mass.
The Divine Nature.-Every man has
q nature which finds its perfect salts
faction of life in this world but it is
not his highest and best nature. For
above INC distinct from the natural
mind there Is i nature for which this
world In itself makes no provision. This
is the nature which lives by every word
that proceeds out of the mouth Of God.
