high places by whose example young
men are led to sacrifice character for
gain.-Rev. Z. Pinch, Congregationalist,

gone to express your sympathy and
eulogies. The flowers II kind words
will not do him any good then. The
world now has too much epitaphy and
too little taffy.-Itev. Thomas UzZel,
independent, Denver.

club. whose members can live at will
and sin at will and by a prayer find
pardon to sin again.-Rev. ]. NJ. Hare,
Baptist, Camden, y. J..
The Conressional.-The perfect CAIN,
the consolation hat the world and your
self are powerless to give o can be
secured from God in the confessional
because there only can you see yourself,
as God sees you.-Rev. w. j.. Garrigan,

sion and bribery of puzzle officials that
no one of them would be guilty of ndi-
vidually.-Rev. b. Craig, Disciple, Den
YER.
Shadows.-Where there is the strong
est light there are also the strongest
shadows. An electric arc lamp casts
a sharper shadow than a tallow can
die. The shadows in Il sunlit landscape
are blacker than on a cloudy day.-Rev.
Frank Crane, Unitarian, Worcester,
Mass.
The Future.-The only way to get
hold of the future is through the pres

ers. guilds and hospitals, but also mem
bers who realize that Chritianity Is q
life rather than q creed, a spirit rather
than a fOrm.-Rcv. c. +. Goodell, Meth
odist, New York City.

classification, hut Il dreadful fact. II
DESTROYS the moral likeness of the soul
TO its creator. crowds it away from
Him. extlaguishes all spiritual life ana
makes impossible any manifestation OIL
the divine benignity.-Rev. A. Fl. Stude-
NA>
baker. Episcopalian, Baltimore.
Follics of To-day.-The idols OF pleas
ure and money and s~elhshness COM
| mand nultitudes of yotaries. The new
tangled follies of the day being Oh
man. must be overthrow. Only that
which is OF God abides. The gospel still
meets the imperative needs OF MAN.
Rev. A.. N. Lambert, Methodist, chi
cago.
The Mission of Life.-Every
life has its mission to accomplish, ana
every life involves the highest powers
in the universe. One important phase
of each life is to bring the soul into
with Cod; to build the soul
and fashion it to the likeness of Cod
Rev. Z. NJ. Sllbaugh, Methodist, Pitts
burg.
Enemies Of Society.-The man who,
for a consideration, violates a law to
benefit one set of men to-day, Will Vlo-

| witness AGAINST our neighbor is a part
Of the devils work.-Rev. 2. II. Swift,
| Methodist. Chicago.
The Natural Life.-As God is the au-
thor OF The natural life, because life
| cannot come from death, so lie is the
| creator OF the spiritual or supernatural
life. He sustains the natural life by
| outward means. So in Il similar man.
| ner He sustains and p~erfects the spir-
itral lie By giving to It visible sacra-
| ments.-Ecv. L. Z. Siegfried, Roman
| Catholic. Philadelphia.
Universal Peace.-Permanent and
| universal peace is the dream OF the
| noblest men. Peace is the child OF free
| dom and righteousness, and these,
whether for the individual or for the
| nation. have been obtained at mighty
cost. Whether by the shock of war or
by constructive Individual processes
hard won freedom and right go before
an abiding peace.-Rev. ]. III. Haslem,
Baptist. Philadelphia.
