 Nothing New.-As fast as developing civilization reaches any conclusion that seems to 1t new, 1t discovers 1t to be as old as Jesus of Nazareth The state ment may be new, the application of 1t may be novel, but the inherent and fun damental spirit of It Is, without excep- ton, His.-Rev. J. B. Clark, Presbyte- rian, Detroit
 Beauty.-The Book of Psalms Is an art gallery. One psalm Is the picture of thunder storm, another Is quiet pastoral; another Is a Rhigi view. and another is the painting of he holy city all alive with the gathered tribes of God. God knows that beauty fs a pow CT, and hence He uses it.-Rev. 5. C.. Gregg. Congregationalist, 3oston.
 The Spiritual Llfe.-By nature there Is that within us which Is allen to the kingdom of heaven. This we should overcome, for the life which Is out of harmony with the laws of he spiritual world Is a sinful life. No man can start in the kingdom until he has new nature, with new powers-the spiritual life which is typified in Christ. The man who has that life will grow in power from month to month and year to year-Rev. D. w. Montgomery, Con- gregationalist, Washington
