SERMONETTES.

Faith makes a fold; bigotry a fence.
The Undetermined are but half-wit-
ted.
Peace is the power gained through
pain.
No pleasure comes from playing
with life.
No good is any good unless 1t is
soon outgrown,
You can usually tell a mans size
by what he sees.
Your imaginary wrongs cannot COW
err your real wrongdoing.
An ideal too heavy becomes drag
instead of an inspiration.
The man who does not have an up
hill fight IS going down hill.
The surest, swiftest way Of being
damned IS to do nothing.
It's no use wasting blows on the
man who is afraid of being hurt,
You get mush instead Of men when
you offer them only soft places.
It's no use signing for chance to
lead If you dare not go alone.
Out of deep sorrows come high pow
ers to comfort and strengthen.
Idleness makes the hours YEARLY
long and the days woefully short.
The mark of a heavenly blessing is
that it ignores our earthly bounda-
ries.
He can never know any deep joy
who can laugh at the sorrows Of an
other.
The man who is liberal in his faith
is not always the same IN his finances.
Sometimes we need tides Of grief
to carry us over the bars of our dull
content.
The only way to get oil the happi-
ness in life is to give for the happi-
ness of all.
The man who bangs his head
against hard facts feels his bumps and
calls them faith.
If you would make sure of your
sins being fruitful bury them under
a pretense of piety.
There is always a greater benefit in
enduring my own pain than in envy
ing anOthers pleasure.
The devil is worried by the people
no For a Cnnl M NV
who worry over him.

Not 80 did the great Teacher when
he was with men. Great souled being
that He was, with clear vision OF
truth, He had no time to bubble over
the riddles Of childish minds; he mus,
be about His Fathers business he
came to remind men that the Infinite
one was in this world TO do good, TO
serve mankind, that men might all
have life and each his own life In its
fullneSs.
One hunger, one passion Is in all
normal lives, the unchanging desire for
the larger. more complete life. All our
getting of things is but our attempt
to fill up our lives to the fullness Of
their measure; all our pleasures, our
tolls, our endeavors are but the spirit
Of man seeking more life. This we
desire for ourselves; this, as we find
life, we desire for all.
Religion meets man at this point; 1T
shows him the way of the larger life.
It bids him recognize himself as more
than dust; 1t awakens in him the sense
Of the divine. At its best it bids him
call himself the child Of the highest
and urges him to 60 forward into the
fullness Of the best the world has ever
dreamed Of or longed for.
The test Of any religion is this: Does
1t stir me to discomfort with the life
I have, with my attachments, with the
whole order Of life about me? Does
1t awaken in me augmenting longings
for fairer, sweeter, fuller life for all
men? Does it give me glimpses Of
life to which this one seems to be but
the vestibule?
Churches and creeds are but the tools
and milestones along the way where
life goes from more to more. Men
will be religious not to escape some
painted hell, but to find the way into
that heaven already pictured in their
passions, their dreams, and longing, to
walk in this way and to awaken oil
men to know and follow the path that
leads into the life charging and lord
Of all lesser things. Whoever leads
here will be followed.

THE RELIGIOUS MOTIVE.
By Henry T. Cope

by hehfy T. cope.
Holding forth the word of life."-
Phil. 2:16.
Why should man bother himself
about religion at all? Is it In order
to avert the wrath of the Almighty or
to make certain Of felicity in the fu-
ture? Once superstition so held sway
that fear was sufficient motive TO
make all men at least formally if not
vitally religious. To-day we feel that
is damaging faith that turns any man
into trembling, terror stricken slave
Once men laid their possessions on
the affairs Of religion in order to pla
cate the deities; in later times they
are told to lay their minds there. In
tellectual qualification is the price that
many are willing to pay to secure an
imagined peace Of mind or future felic
ity. With many religion Is a scheme
Of getting all to think alike by not nj
lowing any to think at all.
So long as religion means the hold
ing or defending Of certain opinions,
the belief in certain views, especially
regarding the dead past, the unknown
future, or the mysterious other world,
1t will be hard for the practical mind
to see Just what value such views
might have or what necessity, per
sonal or social, IS upon us to aid IN
airing them
Even where the teachings Of religion
have taken a more practical bearing,
where the emphasis has been upon
duties, upon social relations or per
sonal rightncss, while one may see the
Importance of right moral and ethical
standards, IT Is hard 10 persuade folks
that there Is any large value In get
ting the whole world to chant together
the formula that says Thou shalt not
steal Religion must strike deeper
than this or have no power over us.
In world whore men are wishing
that the days were twice as long they
still find time for things that are really
worth while. they are quick to recog-
nize the value Of things spiritual. but
It is not hard to understand their I'M
patience with any church or system
that spends time fighting over opinions
when the poor, the oppressed, the i'm
potent stand helpless and neglected at
our doors.

DON'TS FOR CHURCHMEN.

Don't let your heart dry up lest
religion leak out
Don't try to carry man when 1t
may be better to lead him.
Don't shrink from pain If you would
pay the price Of all deep pleasure.
Don't fail to note that where might
seems to make right 1t is but making
ruin.
Don't make the mistake Of thinking
Of religion as the reaping OF wings
where wind was sowed
Don't talk overmuch about your diff
ficulties lest you be classed with peo-
pie Of many deficiencies.
Don't forget that on your respect
for the rights of the weak depends
whether your strength be weak or
strong.

MISSION HAS OvERSTEPoED
ITS AUTHORITY.
ADDRESSES NEW YORK BAR
Power to Regulate Stock Issue of State
Corporations Has No Existence,
He Declares
NEW CLAUSE UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

4
John c. Spooner of New York, former
/ ly United States senator from Wiscon-
sin, speaking at the Twentieth Century
club to members and guests of the New
! York State Bar association, discussed
The Power Of Congress Under the Com
merce Clause Over State Corporations
! Engaged i'll Interstate or Foreign Com
MERGE"
! Mr.. Spooner did not speak of what had
been done, but rather of what it has been
recently insisted shall be done under that
| clause.
States Are Inundated.
1T is now insisted" said he, that
Congress possesses under this clause and
shall exercise the power to regulate the
issue, by state railway corporations en-
gagged i'll both interstate and intrastate
/ commerce, of capital stock, bonds and
other securities. A pledge of such leg
isation was Incorporated in the Repub-
! lican platform, and prior to the adoption
of this political declaration, II was rec
! omended by the interstate commerce
| commission
The assertion of federal power, I'M
der the commerce clause to regulate the
issue of capital stock by railway corpo-
rations and the exercise of their bor-
rowing power, is based upon the predi-
I cate that when state railway corpora
| ton transports passengers and freight
! III both intrastate and Interstate COM
mCrce, ii ceases to be state corpora
ton as to its organization and internal
| affairs to the state that created II, and
becomes n federal corporation, subject
to Congress, not alone as to its conduct
IF interstate commerce, but also as TO
The conservation OF its financial resources
and the issue of its stock and bonds.
One cannot well imagine n greater
humiliation of the states than the pos
session of such Il power 10y the federal
government. The iden that one govern
ment may create state corporation and
another government may regulate the
issue of its stocks and bonds would be
amusing if it were not repellant.'
Inconceivable, He Says.
1t is inconceivable, continued Mr..
Spooner, that the trainers of the consti-
luton, whose object was To enable the
central government To keep the channels
If the interstate commerce free from OBJ
;truction should have intended in the
same clause to vest in the federal gov
| nrnment power To itself ohstruCt il, UNI
Ter preteNt of regulating it, 1t has al
ways been within the recognized power
If the state which creates n corporation
% determine what corporate powers II
shall possess, he said. aud asked if it
was not rather shocking to be told at
This time that for century these powers
nave been exercised by the states only
Dy the suffranCc of Congress.
1T is an astonishing prupuSition,' de-
nlared Mr.. Spooncr, that while a state
may create Il stock corporation, anoth
er government shall regulate the issue
If its stock and bonds.
"'rhe proposition seems entirely 10 ig
more, not only the language, but the oh
