crets of life only to those who are pre-
pared to receive them-Rev. j.. S.

ons.-Righteousness is not
always in the kings court and law is
sometimes on the side of wrong.-Rev.
Edwin Amherst, Independent, Chicago,
Illinois.
Revolt.-The complete revolt agains
a literal hell has led many to an at
titude OF absolute disbelief in hell
Rev. B. f. Root, Congregationalist,
Waterbury, Conn.
The Only ligion.-There have
been many religions, religions of the
gods of lust and power, but Chris
tianity is the only religion of a suf-
fering Godfrey. S. d. Mcconnell,
Eplscopalian, New York City
Divine Growth.-The fact that the
Bible is a growth does not necessarily
inyalidate its fullest inspiration.
Growth is the divine method. This is
true OF the creation.-Rev. ]. X.
smyth, swedenborgian, New York
City.
Salvation.-The world has never
outgrown Christ's conception of sal
walton, and can never outgrow it, for
the law of it is written in the very
page of the universe itself.-Rev. h.
M. Waters, Congregationalist, Brook
/ Ign, N. Y.
Truth.-Truth is not confined to any
Bible, however venerable, nor to any
church, however ancient her authority
The ideas of past centuries will not
suffice for to-day in religion any more
than In science or industry. w.
II. Pulsford, Unitarian, Chicago, Ill.
Ideals.-Every young man has n
mental conception of character which
Is his IDEAL The statesman, politician,
educator, philanthropist, inventor, mas
ter mechanic, orator and writer are
Ideals after which young men of to-day
mold and fashion their lives. build
characters and shape their destinles.-
Rev. q. q. Bates, Disciple, Allegheny,
Pa.
Papal Progress.-The papacy has
contributed more than any civil gov
eminent to the intellectual progress OF
mankind. If Europe is to-day immeas-
urable in advance of Asia in literature,
the arts and sciences, is it not because
Europe was more in touch than Asia
with the Roman pontiff, and felt the
impress of his strong and tender hand?
Cardinal Gibbons, Roman Catholic,
Baltimore, Md.
Future Punishment.-We want no
amateurs regarding future punishment.
We want an expert whom we can
trust, as the little child trusts the wise
surgeon, as the traveller trusts the
guide and deliverer, as the passenger
trusts the captain of the great ship.
} Fortunately, Jesus Christ, in the great
hour of His life has spoken In words
} so simple, so clear, as to leave no room
for doubt-Rev. n. d. Hills, Congre-
J gationallst, Brooklyn, N. Y.

the human mind is always aggressive;
the ethical quality of the human soul

= another it is bound to express itself.
The subtle law of human influence is
universal, and no one escapes either
its power or its opportunities. Every
one is bound to give something of him
self to another. The touch of person
atty is found verywhere.-Rev. II.
M. Slocum, Episcopalian, Colorado

The Reformation Age-One age is
but the forerunner of another and to-
: day we are entering upon a reforma-
ton that is more wonderful in Its
y workings than any that Las gone be-
e fore and that demands of Christians a

ton Of Christ's mission than ever be-
d fore and that 1t is the divine purpose
+ to save souls by saving men.-Rev. l..

Salvation.-For every wrong there is
. sure and certain punishment. The
law OF retribution runs In the iron
: groove Of Nature, and from its effects
there Is no escape. Neither love moi
logic can alter its course. Justice must
!. be satisfied and Divine love will pun.
