Proving His Great Love.


have believed in Christ and have
given Him the love they would give
u God only We. like them and mill
lions set unborn. give him our adora-
ticn and our love. What He did on
Calvary will ever excite In the hu-
man breast the most generous feel
ings. No words can tell the love that
Jesus showed us.-Rev. Thomas
Dixon. Episcopal.
Keeping the Ambition Alive.
Plants will droop and wither and
die ii they are not watered. An un-
fed fire VIII die out. So mans am
bition needs constant feeding to
I've. Enthusiasm is a voracious
feeder and rapidly exhausts all nutri-
ment Zeal is not yalf-exstent, nor
IS faith. Faith Is feeling, condi-
tion, an acting and an attitude main
tanned only by constant replenish-
In. Devotion, as we sing in one OF
our hymns. is subject to deathlike
dormancy or worse.--Rev. William
Peters, Baptist.
The Life of Faith.
There is constant struggle be-
tween the life of sense and the life
Of faith. Every man is conscious of
this. To live in the world of sense
and walk only by sight is to fail of
all the highest ends. But the man
who yields himself to the appeals of
heaven and walks in it's light, finds
fellowship with the heroic souls of
all the centuries, and there open be-
fore him the Visions and possibilities
OF an endless life.-Rev. William
Deane, Methodist.
Why We Need u Guide.
We need a guide, always, be-
cause life is beset with temptations
How numerous they are in our day,
whether more SO than in the earlier
time, am not ready to say, but the
Lord knows that almost every street
and every avenue of our great cities
is filled with temptation. The mighty
wonder to me is, as / study our
great cities with their quantities OF
sin, how any man or woman gets
through without being slain. Life is
temptation Rev. #. Clark.
When the Church Judges.
The church is the depository of di-
vine truth. She must keep the sa-
cred charge free from misinterpreta
tion; she must say who is right, who
is wrong, when controversy arises.
As a lawful organization she has a
right to innict the penalties pre-
scribed for rebellion in her ranks. A
law that has no penal attachment
will not bear the test of constitution
atty The churchs law on right to
Judge and be court is defined by
the Council OF Trent, which says:
"The church judges no one who has
not entered her fold by baptism. -
Rev. n. Waters, Methodist Epis-
copal.
Dr. Frank Cranes Epigrams.
There are many crimes on earth,
but one only in heaven, and that is
not to love.
Christianity is the deepest name
for culture
The modern man seems to desire
but two things, money and more
money
The very first lesson in genuine
culture is to rise above money and
what It can buy and to appreciate
character and what 1t can attract.
The highest courage is to trust I'm
the power of the spiritual qualities
ox-ar tba material
There are those who believe in
God but trust In money
Cause of Failures.
Some fail In life because of want
of character. They may be clever and
imaginative, but when life's battles
are presented they seem paralyzed
and unable to act. Many are par
alyzed by vices, such as drunken
ness, the tobacco habit, secret sins,
etc, and so their characters, like
their bodies, become dwarfed, stunt
ed and demoralized. Want of sue
cess Is ofttimes want of character,
the want of strength to resist evil,
of resolution to carry out a purpose,
OF patience to endure but for a mo-
ment, of moral stamina to stand for
truth and righteousness VIII
liam Pearson, Episcopal.
Education Well Applied.
Education is not salvation. Knowl-
edge is power and should induce pur-
ity. But the pure in heart-mind
YOU, not the strong in mental force
the pure in heart alone see God.
A clean heart fits a man for life's la
bors. We cannot submit ourselves
to the rule of our evil passions IL we
would escape ruin. "Our bodies are
good servants. but poor masters" is
an apt and a wise saying The Christ
was power, because He had a
healthy mind and a pure heart. He
thought only of and for the best. To
Him evil was hateful. For Tin love
was tho law end the l.g of the
world. 3r c. is love.-Rer. Will
liam Abbot, Reformed.
What Ignorance Leads to.
Ignorance alone is the cause of all
sorrow save sin. II we could know
fully and see with the vision where
with we shall one day see, then our
eyes would always be dry and our
hearts would be constantly singing.
Ignorance not only causes sorrow,
but it also prevents comfort. Be-
cause we do not know Gods prom
ises their balm is not applied to our
hearts. The first step of faith should
