agents for this purpose, selling shares

~ Renewed activity in the imitation of
Christian methods is reported from the
Bnddhists of Japan. 1t is said that
in some places the street preaching
of the Buddhisfs can scarcely be dis

Christians.
The famous preacher and writer,
Rev F. B. Meyer, some time ago re-
signed the pastorate of Christ church,
London, in order to devote himself to
evangelistic work. Now he has been
succeeded by. the celebrated evangelist,
Rev. John McNei1l. of Scotland.
Late statistics seem to show that the
decrease of Theological students now

and Congregational seminaries. The

The oft repeated charge that Trinity
Episcopal church of New York city
said to be the richest in the world,
owns many tenement properties, has at

that the notorious tenementS COM

church, nor subject to its control. The
land on which they stand is church
property, but it was long ago leased
for ninety-nine years by the parties
who erected the Objectionable build
ings. The lease excludes the church
from any right to interfere.

Thus are lives intertwined. Nobody

| We Christians ought to make doing

DEFENDING CHRIST.
The best way to defend Jesus is not
our lives and deeds.-Rev. Thomas
Knox, Presbyterian, Aurora, Ill.
POWER.
The palm of power is only for the
man who keeps an open mind, a poor
spirit, a teachable disposition.-Rev.
John E. White, Baptist, Atlanta, Ca
BEWARE OF DELAY.
Use your influence. Make it tell on
the right side. Listen not to the lit
tie demon. Delay, but do it now.@Rev.
DR.. S. Edward Young, Presbyterian.
Pittsburg.
CAUSE OF DOUBT.
Lack of proper knowledge of and
faith in Gods word Is still the cause
of much heavy heartedness and per-
picking doubt.-Rev. F. T. Enderis,
Methodist. Aurora ILL.,
COMMUNION WITH GOD
Nothing will strengthen you for the
duties of life and prevent the love of
the world from stealing into your
heart like daily communion with God.
Rev. DR.. S. Edward Young, Presby-
terrain, Pittsburg.
CHRIST THE VINE.
CnTlSL as the, VINE, believers are the
branches. Man becomes divine, for
the branch bears the nature of the
vine, as the same sap courses through
the vine and all living branches.-Rev.
A. F. Elmquist, Lutheran, Minneapolis,

The men who have done things have
done them because they have known

SMALL ACTS TO BE REWARDED.
The slightest and most trivial and

love of. God with a pure intention is
worthy of degree of merit which will
one day be transformed into degree
of glory.-Rev. J. s. NJ. Lynch. Roman
Catholic, Utica, N. Y.
NEED OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
The only hope of the church of to-

HOW GOODNESS PAYS.
Goodness is not something which
begins and terminates upon ourselves.
It is-true that it begins in our medita-
ton with and upon God, but it reaches
out and touches and helps and influ-
ences- the lives of men of every cir
cumstance and condition around us.
Does it pay? 1t certainly conduces to
bodily health. While it Is true that 1t
does not insure it, nevertheless the
man who has lived a consistent cody
life has a greater expectancy than the
man who has not. He lives clean,

RELIGIOUS CONCEPTION OF LIFE
The only thing that justifies the sac

hood and womanhood that we see in
our hospitals and asylums, especially
when the officials in them go. beyond
their wonted duty and risk health and
life itself in behalf of those committed
to their care-the only thing, 1 say,
justifying all this sacrifice is faith in
the unspeakable value of the individual
life, and that is religious conception
of life.-Rev. c. w. Collier, Congrega-

Each for himself his fate,
We may not see how the right side

We can only weave and wait.
But looking above for the pattern,
No weaver hath need to fear
Only let him look clear into heaven
The Perfect Pattern is there
If he keeps the face of his Saviour
Forever and alway in sight
His toll shall be syVeeter than honey.
His weaving is sure to be right
And when his task is ended,
And the web is turned and shown,
