pointed lines. 1t should make him
stronger and more capable. 1t should

needs him.-Rev. De Witt NJ. Benham.

CHRIST'S MEASURE OF A MAN.

70 the full measure of life, then Jesus

the schools, and many-a young college
graduate has learned by bitter exper-
renee that he cannot afford to despise
the Judgment of men with less book
learning. but greater life wisdom
Rev. DR.. Fem, Episcopalian, Boston.
GREAT BURDEN BEARER.
the church stands for a perpetual
promise to Tighten all the burdens of
human life. Whether the burden be
of poverty or of sickness or of sin, the
church should serve to tighten it till it
Is not merely less grievous. but till 1t
has entirely rolled away.-Rev. Henry
l. Cushman, Universalist, Providence,

SOCIETY'S GREAT NEED.
The great need in our social life to-
day Is for women, whether in the van
ity fair Of fashion or in the quiet of
the home, to embody and eXemplify the
simple Christian graces-gentleness
patience, contentment, reverence. 1t is
women more than men who give tone
and character to society.-Rev. DR.. ST.
Clair Hester Episcopalian, Brooklyn.
A WOMAN'S LOVE.
Nowhere is the yearning of the soul
after God more wonderfully expressed
than in the great poem called Solo
mons Song. This classic makes use of
the strongest. deepest, purest thing in
h. H.
that it is with such intensity we
should seek our Lord and Master. 1t
is thus We should give him the best we
have and all we have, and finally by
being united to him, we shall find peace
and eternal joy.-Rev. F. E. Hopkins,
Congregationalist, Chicago.
THE UNIVERSITY OF THE PEOPLE
The true type of basic social organ
ization Is an association of the people
of a municipality to raise the standard
of living in that place. Only a living
and learning church can survive the
final shock Of social changes and be
the agent of the perpetual adventure
of the soul. The church must become
the university of the people. The re-
ligious association whose basis of COM
munion is wholly educational and prac-
teal is plainly elected to lead the way
Rev. Charles Ferguson. Unitarian,
Kansas City.
MEASURING SUCCESS.
A man attains his throne when he
reaches position of power, however
great or little 1t may be. His kingdom
is success. Success or failure is meas
ured by what God knows the man to
be capable of performing. A mu-
sician's, success will not be measured
by the standard of the minister's, nor
the school teachers by that of the
lawyer. nor the preachers by that OF
the shoemaker. Each must be tested
by the standard of his own capability.
There are thrones, then, for kings in
Vulnerable in all avenues of life
Rev. DR.. j. s. Wadsworth. Methodist,
Brockton, Mass.
A GOSPEL OF LIFE.
The remarkable thing about the Cos
pei as Christ gave it to US is it's sim
plicity and Its adaptability to the
realm of humanity's daily life 1t Is
a gospel of life for the life We noG
live. People are getting tired of hear
ing about the wonderful things which
happened away off in some past. They
are weary of being told of the marvel
Gus things which are going to occur
by and by, but they are hungering and
thirsting for something that will help
them bear the burden and solve the
problem of today. Let US stop telling
people to prepare to die and tell them
that God would have us prepare to
live.-Rev. c. C.P ierce, Baptist, Los
Angeles, Cal.
