Right Use of Wealth.
Money must be used to have power
Wealth not used for the good of the
public may stagnate and breed MAS
ma, but given to good use it may gen
crate health and happiness. No man
can really enjoy his prosperity unless
he divides his leisure and wealth with
others. He only is rich who has the
most glowing sympathies.-Rev. Will
liam George Trevor. Presbyterian Chi
cage
Religion and Doctrine.
Religion is Il life and not au opinion
about life. Redemption Is a new and
divine spirit and not a definition of re
demptiOn. There is a new theology.
and there always will be one God,
love, redemption, remain unchanged
The definition OF those things changes.
Doctrines are like the leaves on a tree
The kindly autumn comes and kills
them Oft. The tree puts forth new
leaves. If it does not, but shows the
old. withered leaves clinging to the
branches. it Is dead Doctrines should
be evidence Of a living spirit. Doc
trines die, but the truth does not die.
1t lives on.-Rev. DR.. Eakin, Episcopal
liam. Toronto Canada.
Gospel Of Out Of Doors
We need the gospel of out of doors
Much is to be learned which the book
makers cannot teach. The American
must learn to love the woods and
streams. 1t will keep him from becom-
ing hard and conventional. 1t will give .
wider and fuller horizons. Ii is good to ,
stand i'll the presence of trees and to ! .
listen to song of birds and ripplng WA ,
Iers. Give the nature study of the .
schools large place. We must take .
oains to encourage the beautiful: the i.
useful will take care of itself The :
outside means not only sounds, but doe =
rines. The cherry festival of Japan is .
he result of the Shinto worship But
nature worship without the recognition
# natures God is only to make
Buddha without soul Beyond the ,
III tural is the supernatural. The .Inpa- :,
iese is in the habit of SAYING The end
If snow is Nirvana," meaning that be
'ond that snow line is the void Of the
ky. The Christian sees beyond the
blossom and the SNOW. We hear in the
ilence the whispcrings Of the Divine .
Spirit and read in flower and rock the =
owing teachings OF a fatherhood.-
