 Christ's Measure cf a Man.

 Man Not to Live Alone.
 God did not place man in this world to live alone. He needs the companion ship of his fellow man. So God placed him first ill the family with all the privileges and blessings and at the same time with all the responsibilities of family life.-Rev. Charles T.. Craik. Episcopalian. Louisville. Ky.

 .Sowhere is the yearnin1 of the soul ufter 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 woman's love-to show that 1t is with such intensity we should seek our Lord and Master. It Is thus we should give him the best we have and all we have, and finally. by beir. united to him, we shall find peace and eternal joy.-Rey. r. E. Hopkins, Congregationalist, Chicago.
 The University of the People.
 The true type of basic social organ, iZation is an association of the people of 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. tical is plainly elected to lead the way Rev. Charles Ferguson. Unitarian. Kansas City.
 Measuring Success.
 A man attains his throne when hA reaches a position of power. however great or little 1t may be. His kingdom ls 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 schoolteacher's by that of the law l yer. 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- samerable fin all avenues of life.-Rev. Dr. J. s. Wadsworth. Methodist, Brock ton, Mass
