effective method to get people into

neither languages 0 customs, widely
as they may vary, Interfere with the
strange oneness of the community Of
nations.-Rev. K. B. Upper, Baptist,

Observation-Disclosures is the corner
stone of all civil and social life. Why
Is this unless it be that the educated
man Is seen to be sounder in his moral
judgments, truer to the ideals he cher
tshes, and safer in the leadership which
he offers than the man without formal
education?-Rev. E. II. Capea, Congre-
gationalist, Medford. .
Riches.-There are other riches than
n The mind has its riches Of
thought which always will command

Mitchell, Methodist, Cleveland.
Three Great Forces.-The church,
the home and the school are the three
BECdI .. lilOl illlLluS LII .Spil

canoe: the home in turn feeds the
church,: both sustain the schools.-Rev.
D. Dorchester, Methodist, P~ittsburg.
Sin and Salvation.-Rancor and re-
bellion from Gods right to control US
is the gist of sin. There is no other
sin. Irritation is the thread which is
put to the vote of mems minds to kill.
The salvation which afterwards
comes only to those who obey His COM
mands. 1t is not given to the dis
obedient.-Rev. DR.. Stryker, Presby-
terrain, Clinton, y. Y.
