Character Is built or grows from within outward. We may distinguish conduct from motive, as we distinguish the human from the divine, but we can not separate them. A right life is all of one texture; it is the same at the sur face as at the center. Goodness is th fruit of the spirit; so perhaps is an ap ple or a corn of w heat. But man lives and acts in conscious freedom. The moral alternative the choice between good and evil is ever before him, like a parting of the ways. Right character is simply the result of a habitual choice of tLe perceived best Rev. Dr. Charles G. Ames. Unitarian. Boston. Tbe Simpllncatloa of Life. There Is a very simple rule for every one of us that reduces the perplexity of our lives, "Covet earnestly the best gifts." Cultivate that "distributive virtue" that reflects not merely the posi tively bad, but that casts aside the lesser for the greater good. Give up the vain desire of knowing everything; ask yourself at every step: "What is the thing most worth knowing? What Is most worth doing?" Do that and be not troubled, though many other possible tasks remain undone. Learn to do without what Is.-"unessential. That is the condition of doing joyfully and effectually that which is essential. The man in his work, in his study, in his friendship, must bring everything to this simple test: "Is this the best tiling for me at this moment? I am living In a world where I cannot know or do every thing; I must choose. Of the two interests which challenge my attention today I must choose the greater thing. Which one is worth my effort?" Stop by step that man's life and thought grow simple, and he comes to be serene in the midst of all distractions. Rev. Pr. Samuel M. Crothers, Unitarian. Cambridge, Mass. The Bible In Theology. This book brings us into the same spirit whereof Isaiah and Jesus and Paul were partakers and lifts us far above sordid materialism and belittling selfishness. Only in this zone can the ology thrive. A man with no sense of beauty may constnu t a system of aesthetics, one who never laughs may produce a philosophy of the comic, but one who has never been thrilled by an Ideal, who in hours of gloom has never heard "the sound of silver wings slow beating through the hush of night" and who in moments of trial has never seen "how life's rugged mountain side Is white with many an angel tint," has no power to bring theology to birth. What makes religion possible and theology necessary but the fact that our ideals come to us clothed with more than mor tal majesty and born unmistakably "not of blood nor of the will of the flesh, but of God?" And as no science of beauty is satisfactory which does not make those who master it more keenly alive to beauty and no ethical system can be valid which does not etrengthcu the moral sense, so no sys tem of theology can be true which does not grow best in the climate of ideals and further their growth. A body of divinity without an Inspiring soul Is worthless and will become an offense; hence any book which feeds and fresh ens the religious life is of immense val ue to the student of theology. Beyond the corroboration of the spirit and the communication of facts and principles is this service to theology and the Bible as a book of the spirit. Professor Wil lirtin Wallace Ucnn. Unitarian. Har vard Divinity School, Cambridge, Mass. The Faith of Jeaaa. "In the faith of Jesus" mesns that his faith la ours. We believe in God as he believed la God, and In human brotherhood and righteousness and im mortality, as he believed and taught. The faith of Christ rather than faith In Christ Is the basis of- our creed. Rev. Dr. Utter. Unitarian. Denver. The Bleaaedaeaa of Stekaeaa. Beneficent is the sickbed for the in valid. Blessed is its . influence upon those who come in touch also with the sanctified sufferer. Wendell rhlllipa would not have been as brave and as true a man as he was had his life not been Inspired by the bravery of that sick wife who always kept saying to him: "On. Wendell, on! God has a mission for you. While you are 'out battling In his name I will be here praying and waking for yon.' Could any one read the eulogy Robert J. Burdette wrote about his dead wife and not realize that the frail little woman whom he for years carried around In his arms had a mighty mis sion in molding and developing her husband's life for spiritual good? By the letters my mother wrote me from her sickroom and by the letters yon ! have received from n sick wife or a i sick daughter or a sick mother who was at that time in the shadow of . death we know that some of God's mightiest agents for the salvation of the world nre to be found among those of pale check, thin hands and fevered brows. Oh. no. my friends, God will never take out of this world the spir itual mission of physical pain and suf fering until, through these sufferings, the multitudes have boon brought to confess Christ at the foot of the crosi Rev.
