Profit With Love.
Better the narrOwest margin of prof

| Preserving Christian Religion.
The preservation Of the Chris, an re-
ligion depends upon the main nance
Of the Christian Sabbath. So interde-
pendent is each upon the other that If
either falls the other falls with it.

religious life, SO to act THAT each to-
finds us farther than today"

Eject Of Love.
The knowledge Of the love Of God
for our souls Is bound to inaame In
our own hearts and souls a return of
difficult, no sacrifice is too great, and
are transformed into new creatures.
Our life becomes one continual day Of
Joy, thanksgiving and praise. - Rev.
Jackson, Roman Catholic, At
lanta, Ga.
Innuence Of Women.
The history Of human ambition and
enterprise is largely what man has
lone under the inspiration Of love for I
wife or mother. Without :
his motive the fields Of art and litera-
ure would be barren indeed. Woman
md her interests are provided for as
generously as our barbarous knowledge
4 her real needs will permit.-Rev. w. {
Craig, Disciple, Denver. .
rue Symbolism Of washins Of Feet. :
We do not need to bring men from
be street to wash their feet In dra- z
latic show In order that we may truly
initiate Christ, but simply to improve
ne opportunities Gods providence may N
us to help men in their real P
and spiritual needs, and see to
that Jealousy and selfshness and
ride do not hinder us.-Rev. DR.. James A
Mofat, Presbyterian, Philadelphia.
Doing Good to Others.
Religion IS not sel1shness;4 It is serv-

arents, Sunday school t~eachers-in
all believers-have those dwelling II
nder their shadows needing sympathy
instruction. II you would do good
others and bring them to Christ, live
God yourself; be fragrant in the 81
lor of his grace. Live under his shad-
and others will come and live with
~. Be so fragrant with the dew Of +
S presence that those who come under
'ur influence will be swayed by the
irit Of God.-Rev. DR.. ]. T. NJ. John s
