study. In their place will come a just

Christ; an understanding Of the infin-
tie, physical and historical within
which that faith was expressed; a
saner endeayor to live out that faith
In our own lives.-Rev. II. w. Foote,
Unitarian, New Orleans

be great scientist, removed from per-
sonal contact with the world at large,
out of sympathetic touch with man
kind. He could possess secrets Of ma
ture, OF rocks, Of the chemistry OF
plants, Of the constitution of the plan
cts, Of the reasons for the changes of
the seasons, and yet be without love
for God or loving Kindness toward peo-
pie about him. The essential essence
OF the highest ethical quality would be
lacking in such a being.-Rev. X. s.
DeBow, Episcopalian. Philadelphia.
