of All Denominations.
The morning prayer and the upward
look are better than clear sunrise to
begin the day.-Rev. w. G. Biting,
Baptist, St Louis.
Perfect.
He who loves as God loves is per-
feet and there is no other goal of life.
God is love, and the life of perfect love
Is Godlike.-Rev DR.. C. d. Case. Bap-
tist Brooklyn.
Index of Character.
A mans tastes better than his words
are an index to his character. These
show whether man is Il friend of God
or a friend Of the world.-Hev. DR.. S.
H. Wainwright, Methodist. st. Louis.
Stronger Churches.
When we get over the idea that the
public is anxious for vague and un-
profitable theories we shall have
stronger churches and larger congre-
gations-Rev. w. A. Bartlett. Congre-
gationalist, Chicago.
Only True Aristocracy.
There is a form of real aristOcracy
which, while it combines all the ele-
ments of power and birth and wealth,
offers its great advantages alike to all.
1t is the aristocracy of character. This
is the only true aristOcracy. = Rev.
George w. Orcutt, Methodist, Cleve-
land.
Love Is the Magnet.
Like produces like. Every seed
brings forth after it's kind. The law
for hearts is the same as for fruits,
flowers and vegetables. Souls are gar
dens in which grow the things we
plant. If we want men to love us. we
must love them.-Rev. w. G. Biting,
Baptist, st. Louis.
Life's Hue.
Life takes its hue in a great degree
from the color of your own mind. Be
frank and the world will treat you
kindly. Be suspicious and the world
will be cold to you. Cultivate what Is
warm and genial and not the sullcn
and sour. Cheerful looks will make
every dish feast-Rey. DIR. Madison
C. Peters, Baptist, New York.
Governments Purpose.
The purpose of government is =
promote right and prevent wrong
Whatever is immoral is unconstitution-
al. Not even by unanimous popular
vote can that which is morally wrong
be made legally right. Our only safe
ty is to commit our legislative, execu
tive and judicial functions to the hands
of good men.-Rev. Louis S. Cupp
| Christian Church, Kansas City.
Power of Grit.
| Grit is that element of character
which in itself has the power to con
troll and command. 1t pilots the shiI

sleet and rain, even when there Is q
leak and the crew in nlutiny, and new

1t was genuine pleasure to the
HERALD man to shake the hand of
Rev. Marion Brisc)a Of Collinsyille,
Ala, on yesterday Morning after
the arrival of the train. Briscoe
comes to comfort with the Rhine
hart family, of which he is a close
friend and old time neighbor, over
the death of Mr.. r. B. Rhinehart.
He came by Howard College loca-
ted in the suburbs of Birmingham.
He attended the Southern Baptist
Convention in Hot Springs, Ark,
last week. Briscoe is a dear good
little fellow, and not so little
either since he was last in these
parts, as his look simply an increase
in avoirdupois. There will always
be warm spot in cur heart for
him, as he is the first preacher
that ever personally spoke to us
about seeking Salvation. May
the Lord continue to bless him and
his Household and where he
labours. He is regularly ordain-
ed Baptist minister, in the pastorate
at the town first named herein.

THE REVIVAL MEETING IN PROGRESS.

The Revival Meeting at the M. E.
Church South under the preaching
or DR.. Harrison, a member of the
faculty of the Meridian Male Col
lege is in full swing as we go to
press. A more extended reference
will probably be made in our next
issue as the meeting shall then
have closed.
Bro. Harrison is preaching with
Heavenly JUNCTION and is getting
good attendance, though of course
doctrinally there is division in
views as to sanctifcation. He
breaches the old time Wesley
an and Methodistic view, of Entire
Sanctification as second defin ite
and lnstaneous work of grace. Per-
sonally the writer agrees with
DR.. Harrison as he is convinced
from a fair and impartial examina-
tlon of its standards, that this is
the teaching of the M. E. Church
of which Harrison hes been an
itlnerant preacher for a number of
years and this writer a member.
However, we appreciate that there
are Christians who do not so under
stand the Scriptures. This news
paper is secular sheet, but ye
can attest that its
genius endeavors to run it
in accord with Christianity and to
promote that cause in all denomi-
