RELIGIOUS THOUGHT.

Gems Cleaned from the Teachings of
All Denominations.
The truest test of the love of God is
found in a genuine affection for our
eighbor.-Cardinal Gibbons Roman
Catholic, Baltimore. --ss
THE WAY TO WISDOM. ~
A man is a fool until he has learned
the enthusiasm of routine. Then he's
on the way to wisdom.-Rev. Frank
Crane, Congregationalist. Worcester.
Mass. = .gr..-
FELLOWSHIP THE KEYNOTE.
fellowship is hell. I bid you dwell not
in hell, but In heaven upon earth,
which of heaven is no small part
Rev. Kirby S. Miller. Unitarian, Du-
luth, MINI.
POWER OF FAITH.
Weakness of character, the gravest
defects in religious life and even in
morality are overcome as result of
faith in the reSurrected Christ.-Rev.
DIR. 8. S. Roche, Episcopalian, Brook
lyn.
A GREAT NEED.
Heaven needs a house of prayer
through which to transmit its power
tc humanity. The church needs q
house of prayer from which 1T can re-
ceive its. inspiration and renew it's
prayer where 1t can escape sin and
worldlinass and find rest and peace
and safety.-Rev. F. E.. Jenkins, Con-
gregationalist, Atlanta. Ga
EFFECT OF CONSCIENCE.
If bad conscience makes towards
OF us all, by the same token a good
conscience nerves the heart and
strengthens us like a girdle about our
loins.-Rev. D. J. Burrell. Unitarian.
New York.
UNIQUE RELIGION.
The Christian religion is absolutely
nm In 6n n q I'D ir,-
after sinners. Other religions have
good points, but none has anything to
compare with this.-Rev. C. A. Bar
hour, Baptist, Rochester. N. Y.
DELIGHTFUL OCCUPATION.
Godhood is hidden in the hardest
heart. One of the most delightful oc-
equations Is opening up the better ma
ture in a seemingly bad human being
and giving it a chance to thrive.-Rev.
DR.. s. Edward Young, Presbyterian,
Pittsburg.
RICHES.
There are other riches than money.
The mind has its riches of thought
which always will command friends.
There are riches of the heart which
attract followers and lovers and there
are riches of genius which always
compel the admiration and applaudits
OF the world.-Rev. C. B. Mitchell,
Metho dist, Cleveland.
DEVELOPMENT OF SPIRITUAL
NATURE.
In order to develop the resources
&C the spiritual nature, that nature
which man communes with
God and through which he realizes the
divine presence, he must lean not to
his own understanding, but trust In
the Lord. A man may be moral. and
not religious; but he cannot be reii-
zious, In the true sense, without being

An epOchal event In the religious
history Of Japan was the organization
this spring of the new Methodist
Church in Japan, exclusive OF foreign
control. The Church was created by
the consolidation of the missions OF
the Northern, Southern and Canadian
Metho dist Episcopal churches. Rev.
Yoitsu Honda, who Is well known on
this side of the Atlantic, was elected
the first bishop. This makes the third
great independent Christian church in
Japan, free of missionary control, the
Congrt gationsu and Presbyterian being
the others. 1t is freely predicted that
ere long these independent churches
will unite in one japanese church.

Moor and Morocco are words un.

as Arabs and descendants of those

sturdy race who claimed descent from
the people who were cast out Of Ca
naaan by Joshua, the son Of Nun
Their country, so far as its plains
were concerned, was taken from them
by the Arabs, and their fighting
strength was made to serve the Arab
cause in the conquest Of Spain. They
themselves gradually took to the
mountains, to the great Atlas. Here
they have remained ever since, speak

their own customs and racial attri-

MUST BE SERVED HOT.
Important Point to Remember About
the Meal.

However simple a meal may be.
there should be no halfway work
about food that is to be served hot.
Fish, like soup, cannot be served too
hot, and roast meat should sizzle as
the knife makes the first incision.
Nothing is appetizing when luke
warm. Among meats lamb suffers
most by being carelessly served. 1t
is simply spoiled unless served
cracking hot. If the kitchen range
has no plate-warmer, put thick pa
per on the back of the range, or on
the bottom of the oven, il that is not
in use, and set the dishes to be used
on the paper, which will prevent their
being cracked by the heat. Vegetable
dishes and sauce tureens can be
filled with hot water while the vege-
tables are being prepared. Above all
things serve gravies as hot as posi-
BILE, taking them from the fire the
very last thing.

RELIEF FOR AILMC
SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES THAT
AL SHOULD KNOW.
Bandaqe of Flannel Good In Slight
Cases of umatism-Tempor-
airy Help in Sudden Attacks
of Toothache.

When food will not stay on the
stomach put one teaspoonful OF lime
water In a glass of milk and sip it
slowly.
When a cut will not heal saturate
q piece of absorbent cotton with coal
oil and bind on.
II there is trouble of any kind with
the eyes, a wash of either cold tea
or new milk is good
In slight cases of rheumatism, II
the parts afflicted are wrapped in q
piece of Atwood flannel it will gen.
orally give relief.
For pains in the stomach, a flannel
cloth dipped in hot water, into which
a teaspoonful of turpentine has been
added, placed over the stomach viii.
give almost instant relief.
A cup of hot water will relieve .
sick stomach, and for those who can
not take it plain. try little lemon
Juice, q lump of sugar or a pinch of
salt
For sprains or bruises either hot or
cold applications are good, but stick
to one or the other, and after bandag-
ing keep the bandages well saturated.

IN large quantities, and will have the
same effect.

water for o few minutes and 1t will
prevent further trouble. The water
should be as hot as it is possible to

relieved by painting the gums with a
solution of one-half Iodine and one-half
glycerin. Il there is cavity in the
tooth, saturate small piece of absorb
ent cotton in oil of cloves. tincture Of
