preacher Of the NJ Z. church, author
lied by the quarterly conference TO
occupy pulpits for the church wher.
ever he may get an invitation to
preach sermons. This is published in
answer 10 several inquiries as to
whether the Republican candidate is

the bottom OF vessel so it is the secret sin that
ottenest keeps soul from Christ. Search your
heart to the bottom, and whatever Christ bids you
give up surrender it, Perhaps fear of irrelgious
sociates may be influencing you. But you cannot
keep on good terms with such and good
terms with your Saviour Take Il bold stand if
some of your acquaintance do stare you sneer

interest was started, which finally spread through
the congregation. Obey Christ and he will take
care of the consequences.
In order to be saved by Jesus Christ there are two
things that are indispensable. One is repentance OF
sin, and the other is faith. They both mean doing
They not merely frames or feelings; they are
revolutionary acts. Repentance is a resoute turn
ing away from your old sins with tull purpose to
live different life. Faith is a resolute grasp OF
Jesus Christ binding your soul to him your atom
ing Saviour You must put your whole heart into
both. Nor you consider yourself a converted
man a saved man until you joined by the Holy
Spirit TO the infinite Son of God. The Spirit will
help you, waits to help YOU every hour that you
refuse to obey conscience and follow Jesus you are
resisting that divine loving spirit. In the saving OF
your soul, you must act and Christ must act Your
faith is your laying hold Jesus and doing what
ever he bids you Jesus will forgive your sins, cleanse
your soul and give you strength to follow him. Tlat

THE ROAD LEADS HOME

Oh. pilgrim. you journey do you ever gladly say,
In spite of heavy burdens and the roughness of the
way,
That it does not surely MATERIAL the strange and
bitter stress,
Heat and cold and toll and sorrow-'twill be healed
with blessedness,
For the road leads home?
Home the safe and bissful shelter where glad and
full content,
And companionship of kindred; and the treasures
early rent
From your holding shall be given back precious
than before,
Oh! you will not mind the Journey with such bless
edness in store,
When the road leads home.
Oh, you will not mind the roughness nor the steep
of the way,
Nor the chill unresed morning, the drear'ne of
the day;
And you will not take turning the left or to the
right,
But 90 straight ahead trembe the coming of
the night,
For the road leads home.
And often for your comfort you will read the guide
and chart,
1t has wisdom for the mind and sweet solace the
heart;
1t will serve you mentor it will guide you sure
and straight
All the time that you will Journey be the ending
late
And the road leads home.

DIVORCE AND REMARRIAGE.
y PAPER READ BY THE REV. j. G.. BARR, ID. d.,
BEFORE THE MINISTERIAL ASSOCIATION OF
CHARLESTON w. VA

The subject of divorce and remarriage is awakening
a deep and growing interest both in ecclesiastical
and Legislative bodies. The American Bar Associa-
ton, at its meeting in 1900, began vigorous effort
towards securing uniform laws in the several States
with view to checking hasty divorces, and prevent
ing the possibility of procuring fraudulent divorces
for the purpose of remarriage This able and in
huental association still has this matter in hand,
and are determined to pursue 1T until they
unity of legal procedure in all the States and Terri
tories and have such uniform laws as will guard the
sHcredness of the family and the safety and
purity of society. The Inter Church Conference OH
marriage and divorce is eXerting a wide and salutary
influence upon both the Church and State in opening
the eyes OF the people to the existing evils in connec
ton with divorce, and the necessity of their removal
This conference represents fifteen religious denomna-
TONS including all the great leading denominations
OF the land Their last meeting held in Wash
lngton City little less than year ago While i'm
session they appointed a committee to wait on the
President OF the United States and ask his aid He
responded in deep sympathy with them saying that
the Importance OF the they represented could
not be overesimated that divorce laws are dan
gerously lax and indifrerenty administered.
The conference passed a series of resolutions of
which this is the last:
Resolved That # is the Indictment If tfis con
ference and hereby it is recommended to the eccesia
teal bodies represented in this conference for their
approval that ministers should refuse to marry di-
Vorced persons, except the innocent party in a case
where the divorce has been granted on scriptural
grounds; nor even then until assured that period
of one year has elapsed from the date of the decision
allowing the divorce"
The subject is also claiming the earnest attention
OF the representative bodies OF all our LEADING Chris
tan denominations Still there seems TO have been
no check gwen thus far to the surprising number of
divorces granted, and the insufficient grounds unon
which divorces be secured
