All Denominations.

Gems Cleaned From the Teachings of
All Denominations.
Whenever life has unrestricted ac-
tivity, it makes for health, beauty,
power and peace.-Rev. E. w. Hunt,
Unitarian, Boston.
SHINING.
If we sin it is because we love sin
and want to sin or because We have
not accepted Gods loop of escape from
temptation.-Rev. C. L. Laws, Baptist,
Brooklyn.
EARTH'S RICHEST FLOWERS.
Our earth is field in which to grow
men. Manhood and womanhood are
its richest flowers and fruits.-Rev.
Newell Dwight Hills, Congregational
list, Brooklyn.
A VIEW OF THE CHURCH.
The Christian religion is q divinely
revealed rule of life The church is
not a university: it is a technical
school.-Rev. Horace r PelI, Episco-
palian, New York.
HAPPY LIFE.
The secret of happy life lies in a
mans hunger. Men complain of pow
erty and of bad government What
they really want is satisfaction.-Rev
c. H. Rorer, Methodist, Philadelphia.
CLEAR OPINIONS.
=. One clear opinion which has life in
1t. made practicable and disable, has
more power for God and good to men
than columns of speculation.-Rev. T.
H. Mcconnell, Presbyterian, Chicago.
WHAT WE FEAR.
We no longer fear God, it seems
What we do fear and what is bad are
material things. Things are in the
saddle and ride mankind.-Rev E.
Peabody, Presbyterian, New Haven,
Conn.
HIS WAY.
Salvation is the gift OF God and is
free to all who will take his way Of
life. His way means to live the Christ
life, sharing his ideals and purposes
and thus coming into his likeness
Rev. Z. A. Hanley, Baptist, Provf-
dence, r. l.
A SITTING TIME.
Lent should be a sitting time, a time
when We should thoughtfully consider
our own religious obligations. our own
personal relation to God, the infinite
source of wisdom, strength and power.

which is to come"
This utterance has troubled many
tender spirits. But wise eXpositors
for instance: "It is no sudden, angry
blasphemy. Whoever fears that he has
committed it and prays for pardon is
worlds away from it.''-W. Robertson
NicoI. LID The very fact that
man is troubled about his sins shows
that the Spirit Of God has not left
hind. L. Moody. But "if the fac
ulty or organ by which a man discerns
good and evil has become so perverted
that it fails in it's proper use, then
that his moral judgment may be said
to be gone. If under circumstances
which bring upon mans soul the
full power of the Holy Spirit, cleans
to the conscience, he resolutely and
deliberately reviles Gods truth and
goodness, it is a fatal symptom. -
Henry Ward Beecher.
The IrreIigiOn of the Religious.
There is such a thing as being anti
religious, and the actual enemy of re-
ligion, while wearing the uniform of
Christianity. These Pharisees were
branded by Jesus, 30 generation of
vipers, how can ye, being evil. speak
phrase. the unconscious habit of
churchliness, the empty routine of de-
votion.-all these may co-eXist With
utter spiritual deafness. For, as said

Anything less vital than this will not
meet the requirements of Jesus.
SO he uttered his terrific philippe
against the conventionally orthodox
Jews of his day. Nineveh and Sheba
rose up in judgment against them. The
goodness of the world is sometimes
a reproach to the perfunctory godli-
ness of the church. For it is not they
who name the Name, but they who do
the will, to whom the Lord gives ac-
ceptance and approval.

was CROWDED TINS evening 10
hear Pastor Russell, of Brooklyn. n.
Y. who delivered an address on Here
after under the auspices of the In
ternational Bible Students association"
Taking the above text, he said:
Mankind instinctively look for and
believe in a future life; to the majori-
ty of minds it does not seem logical
that death ends all. So surely as we
believe our Creator to be all wise, we
must assume that he has some pur-
pose in connection with our race, not
attained as yet, something beyond the
capacity of attainment in the present
life, under present conditions. Even
without a divine revelation, therefore,
we would be justified in anticipating
a life beyond the tomb, but Specula-
ton upon such an important subject,
of such vital interest, is not necessary
We are glad that our Creator has
given US in the Bible clear limitations
respecting his purposes, in relation TO
mankind in the future. Nevertheless
these purposes were kept secret, not
revealed until the first advent of our
Redeemer. Thus the apostle declares
that ''Christ brought life and immor-
was invisible before, not brought to
light, and its terms and conditions
could not be clearly discerned.
Without any divine revelation, we
see sufficiency on every hand to
cause establishment and to call anx-
iouslv for explanations. We see the
world of mankind weak and depraved,
signing. crying and dying. Trans1-
tory is written upon everything hui
man. The scriptures assert that we
of today are living under "a reign Of
sin and DEATH" and that this dominion
has lasted for over six thousand
years. Why are these things so? Is
it not true that there is but the one
God? Is it not true that his creatures
on the spirit plane are perfect, that in
heaven there is neither signing, nor
CRYING. nor dying? There is no reign
of sin and death there. no hospitals,
no asylums, no jails, no penitentlarles
all is harmony, perfect, pure. in full
accord with the Almighty. Why are
conditions so different on this earth of
ours?
Because One Man Disobeyed.
The Bible alone offers us an eXplana-
ton of the situation. 1t tells US that
God created our race as pure. as per-
feet, as holy. as happy as the angels
and that he placed our frs parents III

beautiful and desirable. 1t explains
that our fall from that perfection into
mental, moral and physical decrepf-
tude came as q result of disobedience

sinneth. II shall die" that all the souls

Eve are dying souls. in consequence

enough, sad enough; and, as was in

handful are fit for heaven and go

the most reprehensible class, heretical
reJectors of divine truth, will be sent
to q hell Of eternal torture where they
VIII never die. They assure US, how
ever, that the number who will re-
celFe this extreme punishment is
small in comparison with the race as
whole. They tell us that the major
lty, Catholics and Protestants, civilized
and heather, are unfit for heaven at
death, and likewise not deserving of
eternal torture, and that thus the great
mass of mankind, nine out of every,
ten. go at death to Purgatory, there to
suffer for centuries or for thousands
or years in expiation of sins, and for
publication of their souls, that they
may be eventually fit for heaven and
its blessings. Our hearts rebel at such
a view of the hereafter While CIV
ing our Catholic friends. and our own
forefathers who were Catholics, credit
for being as sincere as ourselves, we
conclude that the light of our day, and
the light of our intelligence will not
permit US to believe and rejoice in
such view of the hereafter as this.

child's fear of "boGies" or dreadful
nervousness for which you cannot ac-

fused to crafty childish curiosity be-
cause you were too busy.
Do not feel that your child is an in
