 Winning Wisdom.
 Wisdom is won by the dis; i,,li!ir of
 life as truly IS by the discipline pl the schools. and many q young college
 graduate has learned by bitter expert, ence that he cannot afford to despisd the judgment of men with less book learning, but greater life wisdom. Rev. Dr. Fenn. Episcopalian, Boston, Great Burden Bearer. The church stands for q perpetual
 promise to Tighten all the burdens of human life. Whether the burden be of poverty or of sickness or of sin Ie church should serve to tighten it till it is not merely less grievous, but till it has entirely rolled aWay.-Rev. Henry I. Cush1nan. Uniyersalist, Providence. R. l.
 Society's Great Need. The great need i'll our social life to- day is for women, whether i'll the yan- Ity fair of fashion or in the quiet of the home, to elnbody and exemplify the simple Christian graces- -gcntl leness,
 patience, contentlnent. reverence. It is women more than men who give tone and character to society.--Rev. Dr. St Ciair 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 the world-a Womans lOve-tO show that il is with such intensity we should seek our Lord and Master. II 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. F.. Hopkins, Congregationalist Chicago. The University of the People. The true type of basic social organ zation is an association of the people of a municipality to raise the standard of living in that place. Only 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. tical is plainly elected to lead the way Rev. Charles Ferguson, Unitarian. Kansas City.
 Measuring Success. s 4 man attains his throne when he
 
 great or little if may be. His kingdom
 Is success. Success or failure is meas urcd by what God knows the man to be capable of performing. A mu- sic!an's success will not be measured by tae standard of the minister's, nor the schoolteacher's by that of the law yer. nor the preachers by that of the shoemaker. Each must be tested by the standard of his own capability. r.here are thrones. then, for kings in .-J.nerable in all avenues of life.-Rey, 1 pr. J. $. Wadsworth, Methodist, Brock | ton. Mass
 A Gospel of Life. The remarkable thing about the goS, pei as Christ g2Ve it to US is its sim l pl.city an<. it's adaptahIlity to the realm of humanity's daily life. It is a gos- 1 Del of life for the life we now live
 People are getting tired of hearing about the wonderful things which hap l pened away off ill some past. They l are weary of being told of the marvel gus things which are going to occur by and by, but they are hungering and 1 thirsting for something that will help them bear the burden and solve the problem of today. Let Us stop telling l people to prepare to die and tell them
 that God would have Us prepare to
 live.-Rev. C. c. Pierce. Baptist, Los n-e~~ raA
