DOUBTS.
By Rev. Henry F. Cope.

Prove all things; hold fast that which
is good. Thes. 5 :21.
He who does not doubt is damned
Intellectually and morally nothing is
possessed until it is put to the proof
If you do not test things for yourself
they will be tested for you by adver-
sity and necessity. There is no virtue
in taking things for granted. There
is a greater reason for putting the
things of religion to the test since it is
to take the supreme place in the life.
Doubt is not disbelief: it is not re-
lection without examination. Neither
should it be the habitual dwelling in Il
fog of uncertainty. 1t is inquiry and
examination it is the mental process
through which all things must pass; it
is road that leads to faith. 1t is
the attitude Of mind that says: Il
have been endowed with reasoning
powers; it were an irreligious act to
refuse to use them on all things"
The man who is too indOlent to in
vestigate, too impoverished of intellect
to examine doctrines and PHILOSOPHERS,
to appreciate truth and eradicate error

Sacrifice gives wings to our gifts
Faultless people are usually forceless.
Yesterdays cloud is to-day's refresh
ing.
The demons are all afraid of a happy
man.
The masters back shows the serv-
ants true face.
Sin may be often covered, but it is
never concealed.
No man ought to complain of the
pain that cures pride.
To-morrows shadow is always heav-
ier than to-day's duty.
He who has no patience with children
has no power with men.
This is always a good world to those
who are doing good work.
True courage faces any foe, but jt

If your religion interferes with your
business the chances are it needs to.
We can we'll afford to forego the for
tune that makes you forget the good.
The length of life we cannot defer
mine, but it's strength and value we
may.
1t is the sacrifice we make for
ideals that determines the value Of the
real.

More people are ridiculous on ae-

Better pass up the offering than
waste your genius trying to make
nickel look like a dollar.
When sorrow knocks at the heart
the wise man lets her in; she is often
only joys messenger.
1t is better to overestimate your own
worth than to waste all you have while
envyng that of others.

that man finds it easy and convenient
to exercise his credulity and call it
faith. To him it is a reprehensibIe
thing to unsettle established beliefs, for
it means that they must be carefully re-
constructed and this involves unnec-
essary labor.
Ii he wants peace a man would bet
ter steal kingdom than breathe one
word against the petritied formulas of
the fathers. No offense can be greater
than that of disturbing them and caus-
ing them to do their thinking all over
again. To them their creed is a key
to unlock the gate of heaven; to change
its shape in the minutest degree would
be to destroy its usefulness, and even
to inquire whether there might not be
another key is to manifest the deprav-
ity of one who would enter in as a
burglar.
All discoveries have been doubters
word of the stay-at- homes as to what
might be abroad. Their doubt led to
faith, a faith so strong and sublime
that it compelled them to leave ease
and face hardship, to forsake friends
and face loneliness and hatred. Often
the bravest of all men is he who con-
fronts ancient opinion with the sword
of an Interrogation.
The only doubts we need to dread are
those of the professional doubter, the
nan who seeks darkness rather than
light, or the man who delights in erect
ing intellectual stumbling blocks that
he may show how easily he vaults them.
Sometimes it would seem as though the
religious world were divided into two
parties-those who hope for salvation
by blindly believing everything and
those who seek fame by blatantly deny
ing all things.
But between the two there is the
course of the sane man who uses the
reasoning powers he has, who doubts
all things only that he may prove them,
that good may be thraShed from bad
and worthless. To him doubt is a path
and not a terminus, q method and not a
product; he comes at last, through the
testing of doubt, TO certainty, to faith
founded on facts.
The wise man leaves many perpieX
ing problems to Themselves There are
difficulties not worth the solving, mere
matters of idle speculation, becoming
diminutiye. beside real duties. There
are difficulties which, when laid away
like thangled skein, seem to unravel
themselves. Problems of history and
of speculation come to have little weight
as compared with the proving of the
daily questions of present duty.
The great thing is to find that which
is good, that which is worth holding
fast; and that is found not by Specu-
lative inquiry, but by plain doing Of
the best we know. Don't worry over
doctrines. Do the deeds Of the hest
life. If there are things you cannot be
ieve, forget them; 90 right on with
the business of building the life on

his principles. With these at base fife
