have. but how we live and the use we
make of life, that counts.-Rev. ID. w
Bartlett, Baptist, Los Angeles, Cal.
Value of Obedience.
Every man must first submit In or
der to reign, and no human life can
be lived In its highest, fullest and best
sense until it has discovered su-
perior throne to which 1t yields abso-
lutte and implicit obedience. -Rev. G.
G. Morgan, Evangelist, Hartford. Conn

wins against circumstances and rises
to victory that lasts.-Rev. G. r.
Minard, Baptist, Denver.
Tc Learn of God.
Not by likening God to clouds and
chariots and winged angels and the
immeasurable stars will we ever learn
about God, but by listening to his
voice speaking In our hearts and learn
ing that he is not far from any one of
US and that we are his offspring Rev.
DR.. Hugh 7. Kerr, Presbyterian, Chi
cago.
Giants of Gods Kingdom.
There are giants in the earth in our
day, and you have 1t In you to be
numbered among them. You may be
small Of stature and slight of frame
but in the realm of things spiritual
one Is not accounted a giant because
Of stature or physical strength If
your heart beats strong and true with
a desire for the onward march of
righteousness; If from the very depths
Of your being the cry goes forth, 'Thy
kingdom come, thy will be done;" If
with all your heart and all your mind
and all your soul and all your strength
you love the Lord your God and your
neighbor as yourself. then God ac-
counts you among the giants Of his
kingdom; then you are among the
giants that are in the earth In our day.
Rev. Waldo Adams Amos, Episcopa-
lian. New York.
Loud Prayers Not Necessary.
Some people think God Almighty Is
along way off; that he Is some place
where they cannot get at him. That
is the reason probably why so many
people below so loud when they pray.
They think they have to shout to reach
God. A simple word quietly spoken
will reach the ear of the Almighty just
as we'll as a shout. We do not labor
under that delusion In regard to the
physical capacity of Gods ear. We
think II we speak loud God may hear
our prayers, but we seem to have
doubt as to whether God hears our
prayers at all. and the reason is this:
We have been thinking about Jehovah
SO far away from us-yes, beyond the
planet earth. away beyond the visible
and the material-and very hard to
reach very hard to get In action SO
far as this planet earth Is concerned.
But God is omnipresent, and that
should be easy for you to understand.
because If gravity can be omnipresent
surely God Almighty can be omnipres-
ent. If laws can be omnipresent sure
ly the one who has made them can be
omnipresent. If the law of life can be
omnipresent surely the one who ere
ated life can be omnipresent. and If
physical law can be universal and
omnipresent surely the infinite con-
science can be universal and omnipres-
