Coworker With God.
Permanent success in any undertake
ing is conditioned upon working with
God. In every department of activity
certain laws prevail which must be
obeyed in order to insure success.
These laws are all Gods laws. The
physician must understand and OBJ
serve the laws Of health to cure his
patient. The Christian is the one who
undertakes to conform to the laws Of
God in every department Of his life so
far as he understands them. Just so
far as he does that he is coworker
with Godfrey. J. p. Roberts, Baptist.

The Worlds Heroes.
What each man or woman in whose
heart the knighuy virtues reign shall
do must Of course be left to him or her.
But surely the time has gone by. if in
deed there ever was such time when
the selfish life can win the esteem and
love OF men. The time has come when
the worlds heroes must be its scrv-
dnts, when whosoever would be great
must be servant of all. Time was
when the great man might be one who
uein3 nJed that others by the hundreds
or by the thousands should die for him
ana he keep his quarters. The time has
come when the great man must show
his greatness by his willingness to die
for others. And if any man, however
humble his place. would win the king
" life he must be possessed by like
spirit - Rev. Leon Addison Harvey
Unitarian, Brooklyn.
True Religion.
There is room for great difference Of
opinion as to the practical gain Of So
cialism as an economic theory. There
is much reason to doubt whether the
work Of the world can be done on this
basis. There can, however be but one
opinion among religious men as to the
value of the best moral elements
among Christian Socialists. True re-
ligion levels all ciasses-levels them
up and not down. 1t gives the true
spirit of brotherhood 1t presents God
as Father to every man and every man
Cs brother to every other man. la
this large sense Jesus was Socialist
In this divine sense every man should
be a Socialist. This conception Of life
is far removed from any economic
theory. This conception is the essence
Of brotherhood toward man and of S ~
hood toward God. The Golden Rule
