both the church and the state and is
the most ancient Of all institutions

est light there are also h strongest
shadows. An electric arc lamp casts a
sharper shadow than a tallow candle.

blacker than on a cloudy day.-Rev.
Frank Crane, Unitarian, Worcester.

tues Of a great character Is patience
and patience harnessed to a great pur-
pose, will tear down the greatest noun
tain Of opposition, and surmount the
most formidable bulwarks which lie
across our pathway.-Rev. G. G. Pierce,

The Race Problem.-The race prob
lem must be adjusted, not the way this
party or that may suggest, but accord
ing to the eternal principles of justice
and righteousness. We needed q Lin
coin to free the black man, and now he
is crying to heaven for q Lincoln to
save him from his freedom.--Rev. J. A.
Writ, Lutheran, Des Moines.
The Organized Church.-The great
bulk of irreligious people take the
church as synonymous with Christ, and
when the world realizes that the or
gained church is laying its human
hand Of blessing upon the people, then
the people will say 1.-The church shall
be the first Interest with us."-Rey. D.
Guthrie, Presbyterian, Philadelphia.
The Source of All.-The highest
knowledge is the knowledge Of God and
OF ones self and Of the true ends Of be
ing. and this knowledge comes only as
1t is sought in the Scriptures and IN
Christ, who is the incarnate word-the
word made flesh. Christ is not only
the end as He is the embodiment OF
the law Of conduct, but in Him is the
solution of all the problems which vel
our modern society.-Rev. ]. 4. Smith
Presbyterian, Pittsburg.
Prayer.-Prayer is a link between
ourselves and God. 1t proceeds from
us toward Him, as grace proceeds from
Him toward US. Prayer begins with US
and ends with God; grace begins with
God and ends with us. What can be
more important than that which keeps
us united with God? If separation
from Him is u greatest misery
a which prevents this separation
must be the greatest blessing--Rev. f
Jackson. Roman Catholic, Atlanta.
