of AD S.CU.
Oitr Sense of Ilonor.
No man has a line sense of honor,
who has ceased to servo his fellow
man of an alien race and Is content
to scorn him I Honor can never lay
aside its weapons of war so long as
ono soul Is In any way defrauded of
Its Just rights and Its legitimate op
portunities. Rev. D. W Ander?an,
Bupti3t.
Hxcnses We Offer.
Most excuses are foolish. They
aro really needless, and seldom are
they sound. Generally, too, they
fall of their purpose, and only bring
the excuser into furthor condemna
tion. They aro a sign of weakness
and of failure. Absence from the
lipa means tho presence of strcngtli
In tho life. Rev. H. Tupper, Bup
tist. On Solf-lCxuinliiiitlon.
Nothing Is insignificant. Thoro
is a divlno meaning in tho extreme
of everything. No life can Infringe
upon another's right-of-way in liv
ing, for the legitimate property of no
two lives lies exactly along the same
frank. Each life Is a monopoly in
Itself; for to each has been given the
solo permission to exercise oxelusivo
powers. Rev. R. Phillips, Baptist.
Hearken to the Voice.
" 'In righteousness shalt thou bo
established; thou shalt bo far from
near theo.' 'Ho, everyono that
thlrsteth come ye to the waters, and
he that hath no money; wherefore
do ye spend money for that which is
not bread? and your labor for that
which satisfleth not? Hearken dili
gently unto mo and eat ye that
which is good, and let your soul de
light itself in fatness. " Rev. F.
Willis, Reformed.
The Appeal of Truth.
The appeal of truth to tho julnd
of man Is universally potent, pre
cisely ns tho appeal of lovo to tho
heart. Hence, Christianity goes
boldly out to claim tho world. She
claims It Is a teacher and lover
claims his own Christianity, woos
the world with her love and truth
and heroism. 'By this sign,' by tha
sign of her love, by the sign of her
truth, she conquors. Rev. J. Block,
Congregatlonallst.
Greeting tho Unseen.
Browning speaks of "greeting the
unseen with a cheer." It Is a beauti
ful phrase. It does not mean death
and tho future and all that; It means
the whole world Invisible around us
now, the realm from which our
courage and Inspiration and power
may come, the region that faith
claims ns Its own. The man of faith
always greats the unseen with a
cheer, because to him the unseen Is
the secret of his bravest hopes and
sturdiest strength. Rev. Caleb but
ton, Unitarian.
Christ Never Disappoints.
Jesus is always greater and
broader and kindlier than we think
Him to be. He never disappoints
us by being less than we had ex
pected to find Him. For example,
take His common word "faith." 'It
is nothing loss than astonishing that
Christ should be continually telling
men to bellove, and yet almost never
telling them what to believe. This
is not our way now, and the differ
ence indicates how far wc have di
verged from Christ In this respect.
Rev. D. Burrell, Reformed,
What Sin Has Cost.
'The wace of sin is death.' 'There
, a no peace to the wicked,' neither
here nor hereafter. Christ Is our
I peace; he has gone Into the gr.ive,
i ana- eVen destroyed death, Ho has
redeemed from death and ransomed
from the power of the grave, and Lhe
grave und death have no more
plagues and destruction. Christ has
made our peace with the Father,
breaking down the middle wall or
partition, and his call Is ever in our
ears. 'Oh, thou afflicted, tossed
with tempest, and not comforted
behold, 1 will lay thy stones with
fair colors, and lay thy foundations
with sapphires.' Rev. F. Russell,
Methodist Episcopal.
Differences In Men,
The difference between men is
largely a difference In the employ
ment of .their talents. By Improve
meat of talent, Moses rose from
obscurity to the royal court, and on
to the lawgiver of Israel. By Im
provement of talent Edison advanced
from the position of nowsboy and
telegraph operator to penetrate the
mysteries of electricity and obtain
mastery over the same. By improve
ment of talent Garfield rose from tho
tow-path to the White House and
Webster from the farm to the Senate
chamber. It sometimes requires
much patience, pruning and prepara
tlon before the gates are swung wide
open to the fields of large usefulness.
Slowly moving Principles
Great principles and great lives
Hke great bodies, move slowly. A
man's self becomes a part of tho
truth to which his life Is wedded
and as this truth passes beyond the
limit of his visible oxistoBoe and
takes its endless courso through tho
ages the best part of tho man Is per
petuated. Each life is u contribu
tion to history; but fow lives have
weir Historians, Heroic lives are
oftentimes written anonymously
upon the tablets of time, and coming
ages never recall by nam their
greatest benefactors. Borne men are
dead while thoy are llrlng; others

Think mnch of your postmorton life
among men. Rev. M. Strykor,

The Council at Jerusalem. Acts

Golden Text We believe that
through the grace of the Lord Jesus
Christ we shall be saved, even as
thev. Acts xv:ll.
Verses 1-5 Are good men liable to
hold wrong opinions?
When good men dlifer in opinion
what is the better way in order to
each an understanding?
When a professed Christian geti
ngry with another Christian, on a
mere matter of opinion, has he or not
backslidden from the love of God, and
what spirit does It show? (This ques
tion must be answered in writing by
members of the club.)
Circumcision no doubt originated
from supposed purposes of health,
and physical cleanliness, and after
wards became a national Institution
Df the Jews. State when God first
made circumcision the sign, or token,
Df the covenant between him and Ab
raham and his seed, and to whom the
rite of circumcision and God's coven
ant extended. (See Gen. xvil.)
Is circumcision now essential to sal
vation?
Is the belief of any doctrine essen
tial to salvation?
Verses 0-11 Is experience of God
and his dealings with us, conclusive
proof of the will of God in the mat
ters which the experience covers?
Is thorough discussion In church
courts a perfectly right way to arrive
at the will of God on any matter?
Were those who taught that clrcum
clslon was essential to salvation, as
well as being narrow, necessarily un
true men?
What is the difference between the
voke" of the law and the "yoke" of
Jesus? (v. 10.)
Verse 12 Recall some of the won
dors done through Paul and Barnabas,
among the Gentiles, and say what
bearing they had upon tho dispute
concerning circumcision?
Verses 13-21 Who was James, who
next addressed tho council?
James, the brother of Jesus, was the
nresldent of this council; is it prob
ablo that his address was of the na
ture of the judgment of the council or.
this question?
Verses 22-29 There seems to nave
been no formal motion passed by the
council, but they appear to have
reached an unanimous decision as
outlined in the address of tho pros!
dent; say whether we are bound to
take this decision as the voice of
God.
In what particulars Is the great
wisdom of the council shown in set
tling this dispute?
Were each of the commandments
given in verso 29 intended to be of
lasting obligation, or were some of
them only temporary?
From whom aro Christians to get
guidance on all matters In this day?
Verses 30-35 Thoro never will bo a
time when disputes may not occur, In
the church and between individuals
how should they alwaxs bo settled?
Did this trouble In tho church help
It or hurt It, and does God always
overrule trouble, whoever may be the
cause of It, for tho good of his chll
dren?
