Right.

Sin against the body must be con-
demned as severely as sin against the
soul.-Rev. Matthias S. Kaufman,
Methodist, Norwich, Conn.
Confidence.
Live for the great convictions. Garry
with you an atmosphere of confidence
and victory.-Rev. n. d. Hills, Con-
gregationalist, Brooklyn, n. Y.
Cleaning Up.
A cleaning up should be cleaning
up, and not a moving around 1t will
not mean anything, as whole, to SHOW
ell up load of filth from one place and
simply move it to another.-Rev.
Charles E. Guthrie, Methodist Episco-
palian, Washington, d. C.
Chance.
There is no such thing as luck in the
world. 1t is an error of thought, mis-
apprehension Of the nature of things, to
imagine that we are in any sense under
the dominion of chance-Rev. George
Bailey, Presbyterian, Washington, D. G.
Wet and Dry Goods.
One of the things that Is breaking up
the American home to-day is the wom-
ans love for dry goods and the mans
love for wet goods. The greatest ene-
my the American home has Is the
American saloon.-Rev. w. W. Bastard,
Baptist, Boston, Mass.
Human Progress.
The motive of human progress has
been ever a belief in spiritual reality.
Whenever that motive has been super
seeded, progress has ceased, disintegra-
ton has set in, whether in the nation
or in the individual.--Rev Sidney H.
Cox, Evangelical Church, Brooklyn,
N. Y.
A Conceded Conscience.
The worst thing in the world is a
conceited conscience. You cannot rea-
son with a man so afflicted A man so
troubled will apply the torch and the
sword, forgetting entirely that hatred
and death have no place in Gods plan.
Rev. Charles L. Goodell, Methodist,
New York City.
Small Things.
Fhe gentle traits, the modest quail
ties, the quiet tastes, the unobtrusive
deeds, the unselfish attitude, the little
attentions-it is just these small things
which render our life fragrant, giving
geunineness and character to our rellg-
ion.-Rev. Abram s. Isaacs, Hebrew,
Paterson, n. J.
Goodness in Finance.
If goodness had been enthroned in
many an institution of large and high
finance that has gone to the wall during
the year, that institution would still
be standing, commanding the confidence
and patronage of the community.-Rev.
John Flagg, Presbyterian, New York
City.
Smart Sets.
Smart sets must sooner or later be
In the grave, rotting ir oblivion, and in
the eye of the world and in the worlds
heart are enshrined only the few with
brain and character, and who by force
of that brain and character do some
thing Of real Importance to their day
and generation.-Rev.T Thomas B. Greg
DRY, Universalist, New York City.
The Purpose of God.
The purpose of God through this rev.
elation for us is not knowledge alone.
Men devote their lives to science and
philosophy. His purpose is not pbysi-
cal power. 1t is not wealth and luxury.
God comes through His word to give
us eternal life and pardon from the
power Of sin.-Rev Clayton f. Della
mater, Methodist Episcopalian, Provi-
dence, r. l.
Ambassador of Christ.
Laws are made, men are subjected tn
civil authority. Broken laws are open
to penalty. The governments are pow
erful enough to enforce. If men in
authority are weak or unwilling, is 1t
in the power of the church to say thou
shalt? Is the church losing the noble
standards that it has won? Is she no
longer the ambassador of Christ? Has
she become the spy Of government
Rev. w. II. B. Allen, st. Peters by the
Sea, Narragansett Pier. r. l.
Christianity and Labor.
1t is my belief that the solvent for
all our social Ills Is found in the words
Of Jesus and in the spirit He brought
to this world. Christianity will help
more than any other agency to solve
the problem Of capital and labor. 1t
is my firm belief that In time the
laborer will own the tools with which
he labors and will hire from the cap
ltalist what money he needs. The
workingman, instead of working for the
capitalist, will have the capitalists
money working for him.-Rev. Lyman
Abbott, Congregationalist, New York
City.
Rendering Tribute to God.
There are three ways of rendering
tribute to Christ-wlth the mind, the
heart and the will. / do not appeal to
your minds. No man Of sense to-day
denies the Christ; that day is past. 1
do not appeal TO your hearts and work
on your sympathies It's easy enough
to make women cry and get into state
of ecstasy SO often mistaken for real
surrender to Christ. l appeal to your
will, for it's with the will alone that
you must answer that great question,
What think ye of ChristY-Rev. John
Balloon Shaw, Presbyterian, Chicago,
III.
