NEWS AND NOTES.

English naval officers have recon-
mended that seamen who do not care
for the daily ration of "grog," to
which all sailors on men-of-war are
entitled, shall be paid instead of the
drink a penny day. 1t is estimated
that there are twenty thousand tee
totaIers in the British navy.
From Rome it is reported that Pope
Plus X intends to convene at the Vati-
can a new Ecumenical council. There
has only been one Ecumenical council
held by the bishops of the Roman
Catholic church since the Council of
Trent. in the sixteenth century. That
was in 1870, when the council was
broken up by the italian Revolution.
One obstacle to the calling of the pro-
posed council is Its great cost. There
are more than five hundred Catholic
bishops in the world, and to entertain
them for three or four months at
Rome would be very expensive, since
it is the custom for the Vatican to pay
the bills.
Even in Scotland, supposedly the
home of Strictest .Sa bbatarianisrn
there is developing a marked modifi-
cation of the observation of the first
day of the week. Sunday picnics and
street car excursions to the Seashore
from Edinburgh are the rule. In Lon
don, where Sunday is supposed to be
observed more carefully than in Amer
lean cities. variety shows are said to
be held in at least a hundred halls
every Sunday night.

RELIGIOUS THOUGHT.

| Gems Cleaned From the Teachings
of All Denominations.
Whoever works silently and pre-
parody works by GODS plan.-Rev
Brooklyn.
JOY OF GIVING.
Giving imparts more joy than re-
ceiVing, because giving includes re-
| ceeiving.-Rev. DR.. A. c. Dixon, Bap-
fist, Chicago
When the bishops, clergy and peo-
pie unite there is no such word as
fail, for they form a triple cord which
cannot be easily broken.-Cardinal
Gibbons, Roman Catholic, Baltimore,

Worship is the means by which the
empty soul approaches God to be
filled with his fullness and that it may
then go out to live for him in the
strength thus received.-Rev. DR..
John H. Prugh Reformed, Pittsburg.
TAINTED LOVE,
A man ought to be a Christian re-
gain. It is a tainted love that loves
or pretends to love God for con-
sideration.-Rev. John Flagg, Presby-
terrain, New York.
THE LIFE ETERNAL.
Eternal life is a beginning, not a
completion. 1t is process and a
growth. 1t is a summer of growing
grain, but not an autumn with it's
ripened harvest. 1t is a life of con-
scious Fellowship with Godfrey. w.

STRONG GIFTS TO FIGHT SIN WITH
Nothing is strong enough to resist

enough to foil infinite wisdom. And

infinite love there can be but one is
sue in the fight with sin.-Rev. w. H.
Morrison, UniYersalist, Brockton,
Mass.
ANTIDOTE OF PESSIMISM.
The number of pure and undefiled
people of today is a prophecy of what
humanity will come to. 1t will be a
harvest of souls. The antidote of
modern pessimism is found in the
house of God; and the gospel will be
universally diffused.-Rev. G. F.
Aked, Baptist, New York
CHRIST'S POWER.
Christ had marvellous power to in
spire people to a holy enthusiasm. His
sweet spirit, holy example, pure life,
were inspiring, soul stirring. Some
thing flashed from his eye. rang from
his voice, flowed from MS emotions,
which made him irresistible.-Rev
DIR. William A. Hunter, Presbyterian,
