 The Religion of a Mother.
 A mother in saclcloth q mother mak- ing sacrifice, q mother as an angel of patience, a mother as q tireless watch- er-these are the four scenes in the heroism of RiZpah The tragedy which burst upon her soul was blacker than rayless midnight. To call it grim and ghastly is but to play with words. know of nothing this side of God capa- ble of softeniag its horror except the heart of q mother And this is the key to Eizpah's iife-she was a mother We may be tempted to call her an an- gel ill disguise. Il heroine without a parallel, but nothing explains her like the fact that she had been initiated into the mystery of motherAooa Her moth ar heart seemed to hold q thousand suns, and every sun separate glory and every glory all golden with q mother'S love The lightnings of pain could Tot blast her. The tllunders of injustice could not shake her. The bill lows of sorrow could not swallow her She caught the liGhtnings. Her heart turned them into candles. and the can tlles have grown into lighthouses. illu mnating the centuries. She grasped the thunders of mystery, and her soul touched them into music She trOd the pillows underfoot and through the mag ic wand of motherhood made them as smooth as a sea of glass mingled with fire Rev Frederick F.

 Equal Rights.
 The paramount doctrine of equal rights is that each soul has a divine right. kingly and knightly right to all the liberty he can use and has the right to stand up ill his Makers image to show what he can use-Rev NJ. w. Stryker. Presbyterian. Clinton x. Y.
 Worlds Motive Power.
 Faith is the motive power of the world. The men and women who un- der God. have lifted the world slowly notch by notch, out of savagery toward civilization have been men and women who believed. No doubter ever became world power.-Rev. F. Dean Ellen wood. Universalist. Atlanta. Ga Earthly Happinesx.
 Be content with your position in life Earthly happiness and real dignity do not depend on the accumulation of wealth and honor. The Saviour of mankind and the model of mon had not whereon to lay his head Therefore it cannot be Gishonorable to be poor.- Cardinal Gibbons. Roman Catholic, Baltimore.
 Superiority In Man.
 Accidents of life do not make men superior. Wealth does not make men superior. There should be more equal. ity among us. Many men in fustian and patches are better men than many riding today in carriages, and many rich men are better than we give them credit for simply because man tolls with his hands we cannot say he is cllattel.-Rev. w. E. Fatherley. Methodist, Brooklyn.
 Doubts.
 Thoughtful people have doubts. but doubts ought not to be the sum total stock in life. Doubts ought to be like clouds that by and by are swept from the sky. We have got to have sunup and sunlight. and the blanketing of the clouds must some time be torn away. and the sunlight must get at the flow CTS of the world, lest the flowers fail to bloom and eXhale perfume to the sly.-Rev. William A. Quale, Metho- dist, Chicago.
