DOING CHRIST'S SERVICE
To live the life of self denial, to be
thoughtful of others, kindly in word and
action. faithful in the trif1es of life and
to be much in communion with God
is the surest way to become worthy of
call to greater service. But, whether
the service be among the wise and
great or in the humble surroundings of
common life, let it be the true yielding
of our wills and the dedication of our
selves to be temples Of the Holy Ghost.
Rev. Frederick Todd Steele, Presby-
terrain, Brooklyn
TRUE EDUCATION.
Education is not a certain amount of
raw knowledge which you have been
enabled to stow away. There are many
men full of facts who in a moments
conversation Show they are without an
education. True education is the awak-
ening of the mind to see and enjoy. 1t
is giving it wings by which to mount
higher see more clearly and enjoy
more fully. And culture is the graceful
way in which you place all these at the
service of others.-Rev. J. r. Mackey,
Presbyterian, gGlens Falls. N. Y.
THE POW R OF LOVE.
This world has no abiding happiness
and no peaceful assurance of salvation,
and therefore it cannot give to US that
which it Goes mot have. We are at
present "A part. of this world and there
fore if our lives are ever a. success it
is be- cause we have received something
higher. Love is the one Infinitely high
and heavenly thing of which we are
nevertheless enabled by the grace of
God to partakes iii we acquire love we
at once become elevated to IT'S own
high plane OF life, possess prosperity
and peace in this life and have an as
suranee of hope that lifts us above all
of life's SORROWS BY seeking know
ledge in order to increase our love to
God and to man we become daily better
fitted for the conpanionship of God and
for the society of angels, Beautifully
does st. John say, God is love, and he
that abideth in love abideth in God and
bert, Lutheran, P1ttsburg.
GOD AND THE TEMPTED.
Gods attitude toward his tempted
children must net be misunderstood. A
man may sin away his day of grace
and be left to his choice. 1t is an aw-
full thought, but true, and shall we
deny it? But If a man in sheer weak
ness fails in the struggle and looks UP
yet again for deliverance there seems
to be a golden chain that links his

Gems Cleaned From the Teachings of
All Denominations.
Duty begins with life and ends WITH.
death. 1t involves a great RESPONSE
bility when viewed in the light of our
eternal obligation to God and man.
Rev. DR. John Lee Allison, Presby-
terrain, Washington.
RELIGION FOR TO-DAY.
Now, this Gods world calls us to
serve Justice and love in myriad ways.
We can only do 1t by first being just
and loving, and then the way to serv-
is religion for today, as it has been
for many centuries.-Rev. Leon A.
Harvey, Unitarian, Flatbush. N. Y.
NTEDS OF MANKIND.
Man has heart conditions and soul
needs which neither nature nor science
nor Scripture can meet. Man needs a
God. God is everywhere. God is in
the sunlight which bathes us each day
with its warmth and glory; He is in
the bread which we eat.-Rev. A. H.
Goodenough Methodist, Bristol. Conn.
IMMORTALITY MONUMENT.
If through the adoption of crema-
ton or some other methods of dispos-
ing of the dead we should lose our
cemeteries, 1t would be a calamity, for
not only are they silent reminders of
our own mortality and places where
love can fondly finger, but they are
also witnesses to mmortality.-Rev
V. l.. IOml1nSOns On1VerSa1SJ, WOrCeS-
ter, Mass.
VICTORY OVER SIN.
We must learn to know ourselves in
order to understand the sources Of our
evil actions. Then we can lay the ak
to the root and destroy sin in it's very
beginning. No matter what we may
do, we can never gain the victory over
sin unless we seek and rely upon SUI
pernatural help, the grace of Cod
Rev. Thomas c. O'Reilly, Roman
Catholic, Cleveland, o.
PROOF OF SALVATION
The third proof of the assurance of
salvation lies in the possession of the
Christian graces, faith. virtue, knowi-
edge. temperance, patience, godiiness,
brotherly kindness and charity, for If
these things be in you and abound they
make you that We shall be neither bar
rem nor unfruitful in the knowledge of
our Lord Jesus Christ.-Rev. James H.
Taylor, Presbyterian. Washington.
