The greatest part Of the evil done

Mo-e Than scholarEhfD.
Scholarship Is not the chief thing.
Culture Is more than scholarship. Col
leges should give culture. They 90
not always 90 so. Some great schol-
ars are great Doors, and not few are
the children Of culture who newer saw
college. Mary was ignorant Of books,
yet disciplined by SORROW, hers Is the
most perfect character IN history. -

Whomsoever God has lifted up. Pisn-
t. Of you have worse sins than drunk

grees, sung. some say. each on higher

approaching their sacred city. On sew
enth height rang this laughter paean-
TO your journey, men and women,
hard, trial belesguered journey, but

might are hilltops higher, higher, tu
ons breaks through the clouds and
holds heaven on its summit-Rey. De.

Modern IdolatTy.
Our modern idolatry is not so crude
az was the ancient, but there are many
forms bearing the mark Of the tool.
Our theology, orr standard Of living
and many Of our isns have many tool
marks, and it is the same old ignorance
and Imagination and not infrequently
the same old fraud which blind rs to
the signs Of faulty workmanship On
our images. We do not need to go
back 100 years, when our theology
damned infants, to find the signs OF
human workmanship. God IN the per
fection Of his living plans for saliva
ton omitted mona but we need to
cease worshlping at the shrines OF cur
selfshness and get his view, obllterat-
Ing all racial and national lines, and
go to all the world to apply Its truth.
The marx Of the tool is on every inter-
! pretation Of the book which enables
us to stahd idle while men are lost n
sin-ReT. Frederick ". Simpson, Meth
edlst St Louis

The truly noble soul will enter the
lists against evil even though it may
cot have goaded him to the conflict
The evils Of intemperance may never
have invaded his own household, but
the iron that has entered into the soul
OF so many mothers and fathers will
pierce his also And the nobler he Is
me more he viii suffer with them. The
nobler the soul that lives on the ave-
nua the more 1t viii suffer because OF
the want and the sin that exist IN the
slums. The more Of the spirit Of Christ
ve have the louder VIII be the cry that
sounds In our ears from the millions
