tyrant. He treats his wife as an equal,

Religion.
To me religion is the most sacred.
the most real thing in the world, II
anything at all. Man has no right to
change his religion for worldly mo.
tives.-Rev. Henry Dawson, Episcopa-
liam, Canton.
An Easy Prey.
The man who compromises with evil,
who has anything in his heart but Je-
hovah, is lost in his weakness and falls
an easy prey to his cnemies.-Rev. Mer-
rift L. Gregg, Baptist, Auburn.
A Narrow Religion.
That religion which causes a person
to lose all interest in the movements Of
this world and causes him to pine for
heaven is too selfish and too narrow
Rev. j. IL. Vincent, Methodist, Indian
apolis, Ind.
Tho Perfect Man.
The life Of Christ was without stain.
1t is the verdict Of the ages that there
was no fault in Him. He stands the
image and the personiication Of q per-
feet man.-Rev. A. G. Baldwin, Bap-
list, Aurora, III.
The Life.
We have heard about the Simple
ufe' and have been told about the
strenuous life" but what we ought
now to appreciate and study is the val
ne of the rounded life."-Rev. p. F.

We do not need the Bible to- reveal
to us the horrors Of Sin. We see IL
every day and everywhere, We see Il
under all circumstances and among oil
classes Of people.-Rev. DR.. Broughton.

Tho Dangerous Man.
The most dangerous mantle one to
be watched by the church and not only
by the newspapers-is the man OF
wealth, Of high position, Of f~ar-reach-
ing influence, who does not regard the
law.-Rev. w. w. Giles, Dutch Reform
ed, East Orange, NJ. j..
A Simple Gospel.
In all His miracles Christ paid great
attention to the ordinary circumstances
of life. His gospel was and is a simple
gospel for the simple, meek and the
lowly, as well as for the great, the
learned and the exalted.-Bishop Henry
Warren, Methodist, Denver.
HI Cross.
To leave the cross of Christ out OF
our words is bad-to leave it out Of our
lives is fatal. Without the cross, Jesus
was but a gentleman; without the cross
Of sacrifice, Christianity is but an eth
lcal culture.-Rev. n. NJ. Waters, Con-
z~resatiOnalist, Brooklyn, n. Y.
Causes of S~keptfcism.
Doubters are made, not only by skep-
ticism in the home, but sometimes by
forced religious training. Inconsistent
examples Of the religious life, and ex-
~trayagant statements of narrow-minded
teachers have caused considerable skep-
ticism.-Rev. Arthur s.. Phelps, Baptist,
Los Angeles.
Business Only.
Where persons too often fail here
In America is in the matter OF the
true unfolding and development OF life.
The business man as a rule is only .
business man, while the lawyer lives
with few or no absorbing interests out
side his cases, his clients and the
courts.-Rev. 2. +. rockingham, Uni
tartan, Boston.
Encouragement.
What encouragement In the endeaV-
ors of everyday life, if we would rest
assured that bitter disappointmentA
the malignity of man, the unfatthfui-
ness of friends, the bitter animosity Of
our enemies, tribulation, disease and
even death, are but the dark chambers
that lead to light.-Rev. r. i. O.Hara
Roman Catholic, Brooklyn. N. Y.
