In the denomination are Inclined to favor
the so-called advance ideas, w hlle others
are fearful that tns agitation of the ques

good. There la, however, a strong element
In the church which seems determined

A
pei-fecly Ciy religion has no iTht.
Always the clearest views when there
Is a lit Ue moisture In the atmosphere.
All the greet experts in spiritual life
have been men who have not denuded
their religion of emotion.
Hear the carbon coll In the bulb say, "I
shine, yet not 1, but the electric energy
shines In me." Hear Paul say, "I live,
yet not I. but Christ that II vet h In me."
The dredger in the river deepens the

the Lie, taking out vanity and trlvoltry.
Pef.lnllons fcr Jowett,
Grey U black shot through with light.
Orey Is black with the halo oa It.
Faith U reasonable dealing with reason
able thiiiaa.
e
, Prayjer Is a mighty business, a tremen
dous business in the waters of grace.
Belief la the acceptance of a map. Faith
is taking the voyage.
Faith is belief ventured upon.
. The Individual Is only on organ, not an
organism.
Hope contemplates a possibility; faith
converts a possibility Into actuality; love
is the resulting disposition.
Hope is a foundation; faltn draws the
water and drinks; love distributes the
water to others.
Faith is an attitude of soul which ex
tracts the substance out of hoped-for pos
sitlties. Faith is the venture of the will acting
on the suggestions of the mind.
Grace la the divine energy of holiness
issuing lu the ministry of love in quest
of the lovely and by the communication of
Itself converting the unlovely Into the
lovely.
W'ordllness is a spirit, a temper, an atti
tude, a pose, a posture, a disposition of
the soul, a certain Inclination, a certain
aspect of the soul.
Ths heart Is that part of the personality
of a man which feela after God.
Jesuit Colleav'to sieve.
Woodstock college, officially known as a
Jesuit house of students, located for more
than fifty years at Woodstock, Md., Is to
be removed to a site on the Hudson river
a few miles north of New York City line.
The reason for removal is insufficient
transportation facilities to Woodstock.
Some years since the Jesuit novltate,
where future priests under direction of the
society are educated, waa removed, from
Frederick, Md., to a Hudson river - site
north of Poughkeepsle. The new buildings
for the college, will cost $200,000 in addi
tion to the site, which cost $76,000. Many
of the best known Jesuit priests In the
United States of the rest and present gen
erations were educated at Woodstock.
Balance In Mission Fond.
The Congressional Homo Missionary so
ciety, one of the many American societies
having long records of service, was able
to begin its fiscal year on April 1, with a
balance of 11,200, carried over from Its
previous year. No money was borrowed
last year an no interest paid on old debts,
a record not attained before in many years.
The total Income last year amounted to
47.00. which was 175,000 less than the
year before. But appropriations had been
reduced with the knowledge that 1310 fig
ures were phenomenal. Congregational
churches in Minnesota and Washington
undertook for the first time last year their
own missionary work, which meant S2S.0OO
going to their state organisations direct,
and there was a fulling off In legacies of
M.000, a feature that nobody can control.
Private gifts amounting to 130,000 were re
ceived during laat year, a quite new ex
perience, and the society kept up Its full
complement of work without falling Into
debt.
Presbyterian Missions.
The Presbyterian Board of Foreign Mis
sions Issues supplementary statement of
Its flnsnces, which statement will be pre
seated to the forthcoming general assem
bly. It shows the largest gifts to missions
ever msde by the board, amounting to tl.
w,Qg. Tnereieipu vX the board nere
also the largest, and were $1,632,000 from
regular sources. To these receipts credits
on account. of Income were added amount
ing to $80,400, showing a surplus on the
year's 'account of l'JO.000. The year before
carried only eleven months, owing to a
change of date In closing. Compared with
two years ago, churches last year show a
gain In gifts of $81,200 and In legacies of
$100,OU. A debt of $u8,000, carried over for
two years has now been reduced to $38,000.
An earlier statement, amended by later
receipts. Indicated a small addition to the
debt rather than a alight diminution of It.
Therefore, to data the new Interest in mis
sions on the part of laymen results In In
crease In receipts of this board in two
years of $81,200. The four other societies
lust ending their fiscal year show decreased
receipts and three fall heavily into debt.
Wkr Gnynor Belioves.
The Rev. Christian F. Relsner, pastor of
Grace Methodist Episcopal church, In
West One Hundred and Fourth street, re
cently addressed letters to a number of
prominent men asking them their reasons
for believing In God.
The following characteristic reply from
Mayor Gaynor was read to tho congrega
tion at last night's service:
"You ask me, 'Why I believe In Godr
Because I cannot help it. I simply know
there is a God, and that settles It with me.
I have absolute confidence In Him, and am
willing to submit to whatsver He wills In
respect to me. You also ask, 'What good
comes from reading the Bible?' An Im
mense deal of good. It sooths you and
makes you content and charitable. I might
add that It educates you, and gives you s
good literary sty Is, but that is another iwi-

PENSIONS GRANTED TO WIDOWS
Kindly Ualtnntry of Mlssoarl Solons
Manifested In Sobstantlal
Manner.
The practical enforcement of Missouri's
statute granting pensions to widows who
have children dependent on them Is just
beginning. The Missouri widow is fortu
natenot fortunate in being a widow, but
fortunate In the kindly gallantry of the
state legislators. She Is provided for. If
she has one child she gets $10 a month.
Each additional child means $6 more, bo
the widow with six children Is to be
awarded $35 a month, or as much as vhe
could wane in less prcgrutslve states by
arduous labor at scrubbing floors.
Missouri Is a state of great natural re.
source. Let them all be developed at
once. They will be needed. Widow, and
orphans at $60 a year apiece will be very
expensive. Missouri must pay ths piper.
The theory of her legislation la that at
every cost the family should be preserved
and that orphans !n asylums are particu
larly unlucky orphans, even when the asy
lums are all that asylums ought to be
As for the widow without any children
it has been agreed by the lata Charles
Dickens and the present George Bernard
Bhaw that shs can take care of herself.
It is for mere man to "bevare" of her. The
"life force" is at Its strongest In her. The
only safety tor the bachelor is In precipi
tate flight. She needs no pension. Bhe
asks for no pension. Propinquity Is
enough for her. Prosperity in matrimony
Is propinquity's sequel. The legislators of
Missouri were wise as well as frugal la
leaving the unhampered widow out of
their benevolent scheme. Urovkl a fcefla.
