Religious Decision.

A potent force for success is religious
decision. Discord in the soul not only
mars Its happiness but checks its
progress and weakens its energies.
Moral decision drives discord from
the soul and secures harmony between
the various operations Of the powers
of the soul. Religious decision gives
tranquility. strength and moral hap
piness, which are the handmaidens Of
success.

troIled by the mind. so the secular
should be in subsection to spiritual in
terests.
Religion should be business and busi-
ness should be religion. In every &C.

as truly bound to worship God as he
is In the temple. This attitude of the
mind and heart toward secular and
spiritual things is the exemplincation

More Cooperation.

Another essential in making our
society a greater success Is co-opera-
ton with others. A first requirement
Of Christianity is to think Of the things
Of others-to work for and with them
for mutual good. Very little can be
accomplished in any line by those who
work single handed.
"All things work together for good
to them that love God" SO cooperation
is the law of spiritual life. The Chris
tian IL a co-worker with God and
CO -laborer with those who love Him.
That a Christian should cooperate
with others In the business Of the
kingdom Is not a question for discus
sion. but how it may best be done
should engage our serious thought.
Some who think they are helping are
In reality hindering. Those who are
considering their own honor and the
praise they receive for what they do
are not helpful. either to themselves
or to the cause.
The only right way to work with
others IL to exemplify the principle
laid down in the Scripture: "Br kindly
affectioned one to another with broth
erly love. in honor preferring one
another"
