The Church — The church shall have life and it shall grow. Growth is life and the growth of the church is the natural result of the life which Christ has given it. — Rev. P. C. Yorke, R.C., San Francisco, Cal.

Indifference — Arouse yourselves from the lethargy of indifference and be earnest in the fight for good. Insist that the public billboards shall be decently clothed. — Rev. Dr. Frohock, Methodist, Akron, Ohio.

Reform Society — The only way to reform society is to reform the individual. Slavery has been lessened, but the sweat shop remains, and politics is not free from corruption. — Rabbi Krauskopf, Hebrew, Philadelphia, Pa.

Higher Civilization — The people of Great Britain have ever been imbued with the idea of their mission to establish the higher civilization, and they have pushed on with confidence. — Rev. Dr. Carson, Presbyterian, Brooklyn, N.Y.

The Bible — The Bible presents a great combination. It is the union of Christ with the believer. By that union we become partners with Christ in the great divine "trust" for the glory of God. — Rev. C. F. Wishart, Presbyterian, Allegheny, Pa.

In God's Hands — We have no right to do as we like with anything, unless we like to do right. No man's life or death is at his own disposal. Our times are in God's hands. This is good morals, good law and good sense. — Rev. Ira Billman, Evansville, Ind.

War — The war spirit has transformed Christianity. Jesus Christ proclaimed himself the prince of peace and on earth established the kingdom of peace. Christianity in its pristine purity was peace itself. — Rev. Dr. Wylie, Presbyterian, New York City.

Inconsistent — In religion, as in most matters, we are strangely inconsistent. We run to one or both of two extremes — we are often over particular about minor matters and utterly careless about great things. — Rev. N. H. Lee, Methodist, Denver, Colo.
