God can make better.-Rev. DR.. Theo-
dore l.. Cuyler, Congregationalist,
Brooklyn.
A 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.-Rev.
Luther Hess Warlng, Lutheran, Wash
ington.
A Great Miracle.
The difficulties Of unbelief are i'm
| meaSurably greater than those of faith
The miracle of the Christian church,
with its limitless influence, is greater
miracle than the resurrection of it's di-
vine human head. - Bishop Fallows,
Episcopalian, Chicago.
| True Leader.
We all know perfectly we'll what a
true leader is. He is a man Of ideas, a
man who advocates a certain line or
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,
| Pittsburg.
| Real Manhood.
When men cease to be for sale, when
| they have decency 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; then shall they take on real man.

Cleveland, o.
Dignity of Labor.
Labor is an ordination of God, and
the sweetest bread that any man or
| woman ever ate is that which was won
by their own energy or deserved by
their usefulness. Whether the labor
be that of the hand or of the head,
there is dignity in it. All labor that
tends to supply humanity's wants, to
Increase humanity's happiness and to
ameliorate and elevate human nature
is honora ble.-Rev Dr. Madison c.. Pc
ters, 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 its power or
it's opportunities. Every one Is bound
to give something of himself to anoth-
er. The touch of personality is found
everywhere.-Rev. H. NJ. Slocum, Epis-
copalian, Colorado Springs, Colo.
A Moral Obligation.
There is a moral obligation in money.
There is a moral obligation in one dol
lar. If you have $4,000 or 100000
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
a civil check to too much wealth. |
When man gets too rich he is men |
ace to the public, for he makes it too |
great struggle for men to get a right |
share Of this world-Rev DR.. Charles
Aubrey Eaton, Baptist. Cleveland, O.
Christ In Our Life.
Christ is the life of all morality too.
Sometimes morality descends by in
heritance unacknowledged. Sometimes
it enters into the life of a man like con-
tagion from his environment. Some
times n mans own selfish heart con-
vinceS him that to be moral is to do
the best thing for himself, yet in it's
final analysis the great cause of up
-ightneSs, Of purity, of self sacrifice Of
love, is the Christ Christ
s the life, the rock of truth, upon
which his church was founded. His
liyinity as well as his humanity, his
infinite power as we'll as his most
luman love. must be acknowledged by
he church bearing his name. Christ is
he life Of the home How often he
the joys thereof while upon
arth! And he has never since ceased
q such ministrations of love. But
more intimate than all this Is his near ,
less and power within the individual

Salvation a Normal Reality
We affirm with Jesus that God Is our
'ather and that he cannot be less kind Y
nd just and loving than an earthly +
aren't. AS q revelation Of his charac- y
sr we prefer the parable Of the prodi-
al son to the statements contained in
le historic creedS. We affirm that hui
ian nature Is not depraved, but i'm
erfect. Every man Is conscious of
nful tendencies, but he is not sim
er until he has sinned. Over against
ach sinful tendency there is an in
mite capacity for moral and spiritual
rOwth. Out from among the variety
conceptions Of the life and work of
esuS we select that which Is most
,nsistent with his life and teaching.
1e accept him as our moral and spir-
ual leader. He Is not a God to be
OrShlped but q guide to be followed.
