STUMBLING INTO HEAVEN.
Some people stumble and fall and
get up again and stumble and fall and
| get up again. 1t Is better for them to
keep stumbling on and finally stumble
| into heaven than not to get there at
all.-Rev- E. Vaughan, Methodist,
HATRED AND LOVE.
Hatred is rust on the sword; ha-
tired is the mildew that blights; hatred
| is disease that consumes. Love re-
deems. forgiveness exalts. pity refines,
social sympathy and brotherhood nour-
/ ish manhood.-Rev. Dr. Newell
Dwight Hills. CongregationaIist,
Brooklyn
STAMP OF CONDENSATION.
Jesus wished to stamp with con-
domination the spirit of the world,
which estimates a mans dignity by
| his wealth, and his degradation by his
poverty. He chose to be born of hum
BILE parentage. in an obscure village,
| in a wretched stable.-Cardinal Glib
bons. Roman Catholic.
VALUE OF CHRISTIANITY
Christianity puts a man in the way
of realizing the right kind of ambf-
tions instead of the wrong kind. 1t
warns US against selling the shadow
and letting go the substance. 1t gives
US a scale of values which helps us
| against mistakes of judgment.-Dr A.
T. Hadley, Presbyterian, New Haven,
Conn.
SUPERIOR COURAGE.
It requires courage of a superior
sort to refuse the serviIities which
fashion exacts. We shall not go free
till we proclaim our personal power of
veto. We should judge for ourselves
what is right, what is practicable.
what suits our circumstances and
needs Rev. c. E. Nash. Universalist,

WARNING FOR WOMEN
Let every young woman know well
that no young man who would inter-
fere with her religious duties is worth
the time she wastes on him, because
he has not sense enough to value what
is best in womankind and will surely
wound her MORALLY some day by a
shameful lack of respect.-Rev. Gin
ton B. Adams, Congregationalist, Phil
adeIphia.
THE LOVE OF CHRIST.
Like some Alpine summit lifting its
head above its fellows, supreme in its
beauty, its majesty and its snow white
purity, so does the love of Jesus rise
above all others, capturing our hearts
and leading US to exclaim with Paul,
it is the love of Christ which passeth
SURPRISING wonder because of its
adaptation to human experience. His
love is wonderful in its Transforming
power. It is a love that changes US.

TWO WAYS TO LIVE ON EARTH.
There are two ways that lie open
before every person TO live his earthly
life. One is the self life" A person
may make self the center and cir
conference of all his thought and
conduct. He may toll and labor, spend
his energies, grow old, lie down and
die as the beast dieth. Giving for self,
thinking for self. for self and none be-
sides, as If Jesus had never lived. as
if he had never died" The other is the
"unself1sh life" or the life that glori-
fes God. the highest possible ideal,
and at its end he who lives it will feel
he has not lived in vain. Others Will
say the world is better because he
lived in it and poorer because he has
been taken from it and best of all
when he stands in the presence of the
Master to hear his welcome; We'll
done. Thou hast been faithful =
I will make thee ruler. Enter
into the joy of the Lord" These two
ways lie open before every human be-
ing, and blessed is he who renounces
the former and has a vision of the
possibilities of the godIike life.-Rev.
