nsms Cleaned From the Teachings
 of All Denominations.
 The right kind of faith is that temper of the soul which submits to what God orders, but never submits to what God can make better.-Rev. Dr. Theo- dore l., Cuyler, Congregationalist, Brooklyn.
 Privilege.
 We should never be satisfied with hoping that we are Christians, but, as it is our privilege, it is likewise our duty to know that we are such.-Hev. Luther Hess Waring, Lutheran, Wash ington.
 \ Great Miracle.
 The difficulties of unbclief are i'm mea s,rably greater than those of faith. TEe miracle of the Christian church, with it's lmitless influence, is greater miracle than the resurrection of it's di- vine human head Bishop Fallows, Episcopalian, Chicago.
 True Leader.
 We all know perfectly well what true leader is. He is man of ideas, man who advocates certain line Of action, and he works through the press and public speech that the people may be convinced of the wisdom of his course Rev Dr. Mason. Unitarian, Pttsburg.
 Real Manhood.
 When men cease to be for sale, when they have d"cency enough to refuse to be bribed, common honesty enough to be true to their vows and courage enough to do their duty. then we can say that men are more precious than gold; tbcn shall they take on real man hooa.-Rev. N w. Stroup, Methodist. Cleveland. Q.
 Dignity of Labor.
 I.a!.ar is. an ordination of God, ana ;,.e sweetest brea,l that any man or St,z,,aa e.cr ate is that which was won " tlc.r own energy or deserved by thcii' usefulness. Whether the labor .:c that of the hand or of the head, .,lorc i; dignity in it. All labor that ;enjs to supply hulnanity's wants. to increase huEanity's happiness and to aineiorate and elevate human nature is honorable-R Dr. Madison C. Pe- tcrs, Baptist. New York.
 Touch of Personality.
 The moral quality of the human mind is always aggressive. The ethical quality of the human soul cannot be negative: in some way or another It is bound to express itself The subtle law of human influence is universal, and no one escapes either it's power or it's opportunities Every one is bound to give something of himself to anoth- CT The touch of personality is found everywlere-Revl II. NJ. Slocum, Epis- copalian, Colorado Springs. Colo.
 A Moral Obligation.
 There is q moral obligation in money. There is a moral obligation in one dol lar. If you have $1O,000 or $lOO,O0o your obligation to your fellow men and your church is 10000 or 100000 times greater. When you can't discharge your moral obligation to your fellow men and your church you ought not to have another dollar. There ought to be civil check to too much wealth. When man gets too rich he is men, ace to the public, for he makes 1t too great a struggle for men to get right share of this world.-Rev. Dr. Charles Aubrey Eaton Baptist, Cleveland, o.
 Chrixt In Our Life.
 Christ is the life of all morality too. Sometimes morality descends by h. heritance unacknowledged. Sometimes it enters into the life of man like con. tagion from his environment. Some times mans own selfish heart con- vinces him that to be moral is to dc the best thing for himself. yet in Its final analysis the great cause of up rightness, of purity, of self sacrifice. of disinterested love, is the Christ. Christ Is the life, the rock of truth. upon which his church was founded. His divinity as well as his humanity, his infinite power as well as his most human love, must be acknowledged by the church bearing his name. Christ is the life of the home. How often he sanctified the joys thereof while upon earth And he has never since ceased in such ministrutions of love. But more intimate than all this is his near ness and power within the individual to you and to me in our sweetest i joys and in our most difficult tasks of life In our moments of greatest hope fitness and in our seasons of deepest depression. in our days of largest in gathering and in cur times of keenest loss Christ is in our life.-Rev. An, drew Hagerman, Reformed, New York
 Salvation 8 Normal Reality.
 We affirm with Jesus that God is our Father and that he cannot be less kin9 and just and loving than an earthly parent. As revelation of his charac ter We prefer the parable of the prodi gal sca to the statements contained in ! the historic creeds. We affirm that hu- man nature is not depraved, but i'm perfect. Every man is conscious of sinful tendencies, but he is not sin ner until he has sinned. Over against each sinful tendency there is an in- ,;,,sk sk,vo1
