Bowley Green, Baptist, OlneyviUe. Ambition is natural to men; Indeed there is little hope for advancement in life without it —Rev. D. E. Marvin, Presbyterian, Brooklyn.

If you want your children to follow Christ, follow Him yourselves; if you want them to go to church, come with them.—Rev. M. D. Shutter, Presbyterian, Minneapolis. The study of the labor problem by the church is just as vital to the wellbeing of society as the study of missions and the temperance problem.—• Rev. E. H. Delk, Lutheran, Philadelphia.

Godliness has physical values. Christian men can outstrike, outrun, outthrow the world. The Christian physical constitution is the best in the world.—Rev. John Flagg, Presbyterian, New York City. The really great man is he who, in spite of his relation to carnality and sin, leaps beyond, or mounts the skies and rises above all fogginess and littleness—Rev. T.

Bashfulness is a proof of simplicity of character.—Rev. J. L. Thompson, Christian, Kansas City. The majority of men judge other men by single acts.

God has so made the mother that the little child gathers from her the elements of its character. —Rev. H. G. Weston, Baptist, Wayne.
