Reform.-The voice Of reform, which
Is the voice Of God, speaks only to the
one who has ears to hear, and often

a woman.-Rev. Robert Hopkins, Con-
gregationalist, Cleveland.
The Pulpit.-The pulpit is the lofti-
est position on earth. 1t does not even

appeal to the people for their earnest
co-operation.-Rev. Richard Turner,
Methodist, Philadelphia.
Love for all.-God loves all His chill
dren and does not love one less be-

does not know how to rest has not
learned the art of llving-Rey. I. J.
kolmos, Congregationalist, Chicago.
Public Office.-We need men we can
absolutely trust In important soficial
positions. Let a few more craven cows
ards, fiatulent poltroons, superficial
coxcombs and fawning ahueketers be
retired and fill positions Of trust by
men who are known to be noble, brave
and holy.-7Rey. John Thompson, Meth
odist, Chicago.
Observation-Disclosures Is explicit
in respect to the necessity Of preparing
FOR Immortality. The natural heart -

The Book OF Books.-Let men prate
about the books Of human genius, but
let them remember that there IL one
book in the world that Is indebted mot
50 much to genius as to God. All 9th
eri books are Of the earth, earthly; this
is the book from heaven, and over itD
luminous pages walks the supernatural
power OF Its author-Rev. r. 4. Shan
non, Methodist, Harrisburg.
The Great Critic.-God is the great
est critic Of all. It is He who by His
providence shakes both the heavens
and the earth in order that the things

everything that can be shaken must
surely fall away.-Rey. L. M. Clarke,
Presbyterian, Brooklyn.
The Holy Life.-One can easily SEQ
the power of a holy life, for 1t is ef-
fective everywhere. The shams and
designations OF society become

fall Infinitely below the real, trlfing
renders work vain and unworthy, for.
nality destroys religious power and
peace and SO through to the end.-Rev.

Error.-Every human being begins in
a mistake. Error Is the loamy soil out
Of which truth vegetables and blossoms.
The history of philosophy, science, and
theology illustrates this principle with
a distinct cogency that is unanswerable.
So that we need not be too much afraid
Of being in error provided we cling to
our error with d tenacity that is not
simply tenacious but that is also honest
and intelligent.-Rev. G. II. Parkhurst,
Presbyterian, New York
Selfish Desire.-dreed of gold, fnsa-
table desire for riches, an overpower-
ing spirit of ~mamrnonism, causes moro
sorrow, suffering and discomfort than
all the combined evils to which human

and all its attendant suffering for the

manhood: for the gambling mania.
