done he has obeyed the first word Of
Christ-"repent."-Rev. Howard Me
lish, E~piscopalian, Brooklyn.

The success Of a man may be ascer
tanned from the height Of things he as

came.-Rev. Louis +. w. Lesemann

Seize the Sunlight Hours.
If you lose the morning you lose the
best part Of the twenty-four hours.

their existence. You must seize and
save the sunlight hOurs.-Rev. T. L.

Salvation.
Salvation is fullness of life. Fullness
Of life is salvation, and, SO far as we
have life. life at its highest and best,
we are saved. Salvation is progressive,
not final. Its meaning enlarges as life
enlarges. The salvation that the world
needs is education, not redemption

a True Lover.
God is a true lover, and he would not
be a true lover if he should be indiffer-
ent to the love Of those whom he loves.
He hates and will hate for all eternity
those who in the end refuse to love
him. And in both he demonstrates his
character Of our true and eternal lover.
Rev. Father D. S. Phelan, Roman
Catholic, st. Louis.
Value of a Good Conscience.
A life without conscience, toward
God first and toward man because Of
God, is the worst Of failures. No gold
can gid, no glamour of position or pow
err can hue it with success. But a good
conscience is true riches, a patent Of
genuine nobility, q breastplate against
all adversities and a light of inner
peace and joy that will sustain us I'M
til we reach Fathers house.-Rev.
Junius B. Remensnyder. Lutheran,
New York.
Character the Best Possession.
One little act Of kindness, one genu-
exhibition of unselishness, is found
to be a thousand times more valuable
than the piled up millions of the rich.
But, more than that, the loss of charac-
ter, mans best possession, is found to
the loss of all, for when the heart

Let Us Pray.
For n precious moment let us try
think Of the supreme and universal
pirit as an e~xhaustleSs urce of wis
ON or truth, of goodness or love and
f righteous will power or purity.
hen let us inquire, How can that wis

oOdness into our affections, that right
BUSINESS into our will? l hold 1t just /
s impossible for a man to increase in
love or righteousness without
eceiving something from the deeper .
