I (tme the te::t bec;ause .f the spirit it breate. I (ute it as a protest against the limitation of worship. as an answer to the creeds of Cliristeno(lon. I quote it because it denies forim:Il re ligioni. and places emiphasis onl truth and life. It does 11 good to come upon a thought like this. maybe half for gotten. And to tind it. after having been made to believe in the little words of a sectaruan faith. is like coming out of the fog of the lowland to the hills, to find the sky ciear :md the sun shin ing. Or it is like followtmg a foul stream to find its source in a mountain spring. Indeed. it is refreshing to throW off our lecd of belief and fear and douot. and think for an hour of life as it is. It is inspiring to think of religion ais without bounds or name or division. just a splendid ideal of life and I aring thought of the eternities. In pasising. I think of a great picture and its poor copy. I turn from the (opv, badly done. to the original. It setting is the quaint life and quiet scenes of Galilee. At once we think of the night prayer in the hills and the teaching on the mount. 'the central figure that'of a man who speaks to the people of the realities of life. But we must not linger with the picture. It is enough to catch its spirit. Life is swift, and its course is onward. Re hizion is a present reality. It is every where abroad in the life of the modern world. In worship? Yes. In good living? Yes. Hunt for religion in the beliefs of men. and you lose it. Bind it and bound it. and you have only husks. Live it, and you know it for what it is. Go where life goes. go where the great world's work is done. and you w% ill find real religion. Is the church its audible voice? Then it should bear the live coal upon its altars. It should be in love with truth and in touch with life. It should be modern. with a tressage to modern man. It should lead. coi mand. advance. It should worship the living God. not learn ritual or mumble over relies in the sepulchre of tie' dea d So long poorly taught. we can hardly think of religion apart from the church, its rites and dogmas. Baptism. for in stance. awaits us at the outer gate. Shall it be the condition of our passing through? Does the kingdom of God wait for baptism? Is the rite a vital part of religion? Men have been bap tized: but what of humanity? What of the round world? Are the unb.i.ptized outside the gate? Baptism? Oh. go out some summer morning, and stand uncovered in the fields. Wait reverent ly for the sunrise. Be teniderly affee tioned toward the world. Be th-kful Ifor life and not afraid of death. Let Inature be to ,von a sanctuary. the world a holy place. Invite the dew of th( .morning to wet fbur head: anid in that hour of stillness. reverence and jey. you wmill receive a baptism. the end of all novitiate and probation. -- Or~wat of the ordmnation of a min ister of religion? Dous the cain.idate stand in the apostolic line? Has h: had c the lands of a bishop on his head? Ias h le been consecrated by a rit: w hich separates him from his follows? Is his~ othice holy? Are such questioni of graive imnportance? Or (10 they con eer n anyimbody in this busy world but the ecelesiastie? Indeed. whait is minister of religion more than a mant Or what caii ceremony add to a man! Not by any miracle can a priest bU made a nmn if he be not first a man. Fools and knaves have bteen ordbained to the priesthood, but neither bishop'. hands ntor the most sacred rite ean make a fool learn wisdom, or teach clown to be serious, or put an honesi soul into a knave. And then there are the apostolic peo ple. These form an exclusive set ir the kingdom of God. a sort of choser people. They have gone through thn gate, and have shut the gate behind them. Nothing of ceremonial or belie: has been left undone. They have taker out insurance for eternity. But whai of hiunmanity? What of the rourn world? Where stand the majority 0: meni aiid women? In the winnowing 01 Isouis, why so few grains of wheat? A; I try to answer, even in part. I thinli of those vwho are doing the world's work. I think of the men and womer who are fighting the wvorld's hattles an d winning its victories. I think 01 the shoulders beneath the ponderous wheel of progress, now roiling on. non down to the hub in the mire. I thiinli of those who are lending a hu.nd ini th( gigantic world struggle for the? suprenm :iey of righteousness. I thinik of thoist in the vamnguatrd who light watchi-fires on the hills, who are educatinhg. human izingr. liberating. Or I think of thei 'gentle he;nds, the swift feet. the tendet 1eart. die angels of mercy andi( pe(.te, in whom dweil sweetness and light. W\ho are they? By what nanie are the: called?

The olt wmrhd pncninte waus hurhad back, the New World principle appeareu. 7Tfl mediaeval ages ended. the modern be an. The worst stag-e of religious nightmare was lifted from the mind and conscience of mankind. Yet think of what might have beeni Think what might have been. had nedlaevalisin triumphed! Think what might have been. had dogmas silenced reason! Think what might have been. had the absolutism of the church and the Old World principle continued supreme! Let him who easily forgets think what might have been. 3anhood suf frage and manhood religion are not ideals of mediaevalism. They are ideals of freemen. wrung from tyranny and paid for with a gieat price. Only the man who foriets. values as a small thing our herita:ge of religious liberty. Only the man who forgets is indifferent to religious progress. Only the man who forgets can receive unmoved the suggestion of a revival of a dogr!atic faith and an ecclesiastical absolaism which ever has ine-ant bondage, ignor ance, superstition, fear. and stagnation. Only the man who forgets can be mis led by the mockery of form or the quackery of belief. Only the man who forgets can deny the logic of the new learning or turn his back on reason and experience, his face toward the past. As truth is above price, as liberty is worth its cost. as freedom is precious to every man, I urge on this generation that it forget not, neither be indifferent to religious progress. In the name of freedom, in the name of truth, I plead for manhood religion, for the simple truth, for the honest thought. for the supremacy of character. I plead for the modern learning, which emnanci pates the world, which crowns every man a king and anoints every man a priest. I plead for the modern living. sane and gladsome and wholesome. I plead for the modern age. splendid in achevement. rich in promise. I plead for modern man. who has come so far and done so much. I plead for the modern rcligious idea whose support is the truth that makes men free The Inalllble Hands. A lady, who had been three or four years away from her childhood's home and settled in one of her own, was taken seriously ill. Her mother, with all a mother's solicitude, was anxious to be with her daughter at once, and hastened to her bedside. She found skilful piysicians in attendance and a trained nurse in charge; there was really nothing for her to do-nothing that she could be permitted to do. Day after day she made brief, silent visits to the sick room. even her presence could not be allowed long, and went away powerless to aid. The minister Ing was in wiser, more efficient hands than hers, and she could not be trusted with it-would not have dared to trust herself with it. "But it seems strange." she said sadly one day, "that even I, her mother, can only stand aside and do nothing. There never before was a time when 'mother' wasn't the one to help and comfort; it seems as if It ought to be so still. and yet I would be afraid to do anything but keep hauds off and trust to a knowledge and strength that is greater than my own." It is the 'same in many a spiritual 1 crisis through which we see our dear ones pass. We long to shift the bur den, to lighten the trials. to bestow the coveted gift; but the Great Physician holds the precious soul in His hands, the hands that will make no mistake, and we can only stand aside and trust Lent to the Lordl. The Rev. George Gilfillan, tihe emi nent divine. wazs distinguished for his generosity and largeness of heart. On oneC occasion hie met a member of his church whom he had not seen at wor ship for a long time. Reminding hi:n of the fact. the minister asked wvhat was wrong. "I did( not like to come in a coat I am ashamed of-it is so bare," an sw.'red the man. T he minister instantly div'ested him self of his owvn coat. and( handed it to his distressed parishioner. "Thee my mamn. let me see my coat ev ery Sunday until it becomes bare, and th'en call back."' Tb" worthy div'ine then returned to his studies in is shirt sleeves; and his wife. obs-erving him. asked what he had dione with his coat. "I have just lent it to the Lcrd:" was Giltillanl's noble answer. Imnstr'uments of God. Evan Rtobeints, the miner of only twenty-six years of age, whom G;od has been using so wonderfully in what Ihas come to be known as the "Welsh Revival." is a man of great simplicity Iand modesty. At one large meeting he went out because the expectancy and curiosity had become too great. That meeting proved to be one of the most mightily influential gatherings of any held in the region. W\hen Mr. Roberts left, a young girl rose, and, as if inspired, denmanded of the peopie: "Whom ar o after, Evan Roberts, or Who, after all, is Paul. or Peter, or Apollos, or Augustine, or Luther, or Wesley, or Moody, or Evan Roberts. but a minister by whom men believe? God's Doinz. It is not by regretting what is ir reparable that true work is to be done, but by making the best of what we 'are. It is not by comuplaining that we hav~e not the right tools, but by us-ing"- well the tools we hav'e.

At0 HAVE juist tinlishecd rI-0: ing a pamlphlet by James1 Al OW Abbott, on the use of mineral oil and road imi l provement. Mr. Abbott Is the special ag-ent of Rocky Mounltaini andi Pacific Coast Division. Office-r of Publie Road Inquiries. Aricultulral Department. His pamphlet. published !n 1902, gives the results of the use for :-cad miaking- in California of the coal Dil found in that State. At that da Ite its use had passed the experimental stage, being used with excellent result~s in more than twenty-five counties, an d Dther -_ounties Preparing to 'use it inI the coming season.

Some experim ents have been Smade with the(se paratiin1 oils4 to deter mine their value for road making. but the experiments havem not been sutii Ieiently extended or with sufficient per gistency to settle their suitableness. It seems to be settled that it is the asphaltun min the California and Texas oils-that gives themn their property of forming a hard surface. and Mr. Ah bott intimates that a coal oil naturally Deakmn in aspaltu can be supplied with it artificially, that the uilsonites of Utah and Colorado, f the al de posits of Indiana.
