Civil Law.-Civic law grows out of
moral law, and has the same ultimate
basis-the Ten Commandments, the
center of inspired revelation. The
s~anctity of law is that divine principle
in law which forbids that it should be
despissd or broken, and requires that
it should be honored and obeyed.-Rev.

phia. '.
Progress.-Average is not excellence.
In the new dispensation everything
must excel in greatness, sweetness and
beauty all of the world. The Jews
stood as a national rebuke to the idol
atrous nations. To-day the world has
evolved a larger ideal, based upon Mo-
sale ideals and inspired by the gospel
light.-Rev. William Ross, Presbyteri.
an. Mortified, Mass.
Gods Light.-The light of nature
cannot reveal God. Through all the
years of human history it has cast its
glimmeriug light across the h~earthstone
and the altar, but always left man
idolatrous, ~depraved, Ignorant. 1t
shone on Egypt's plains before Moses
led her hoary pyramids. 1t shines to-
day on temples whose affairs are red
with human blood, but never has it
guided a soul to the light that lightens
every man.-Rev. S. T. Ford, Baptist,
Lowell, Mass. .
The Bushwhacking Church. - The
meanest. LATEST church is the one that
goes bushwhacking after members OF
another church, persuading them to
leave their own and join it. This pre-
datory act is baser when perpetrated
upon a church of the same denomina-
ton; for thereby the members come
to feel they must be coaxed and cod
died and fattered by attentions, in
stead of serving God from the love OF
it and sticking to duty's post at any
cost.-Rev. S. f. Young, Presbyterian,
