SENTENCE SERMONS.

Moral paralysis often passes for pfr tience. > Prudery easily becomes the enemy Of purity. It is easy to be patient with profitable wrong. * The man with no alm is soon able to boast of hitting it. You cannot warm your house with gingerbread on the. front. No man ever loved a great good without hating that wlfich stood In its way. If you can whittle your convictions down men will soon see your real motives. Some men think they are going ahead because they dodge around so much. No man goes far forward who has not strength of will to back down at times. XV hen the life is shifty as the sands the creed is sure to be proud of being like a rock. The bigot is always blind to the difference between toleration and indorsement. Whether you will ever be free depends on the use* you will make of your freedom. We have no right to condemn the vicious so long as we make the path of virtue so hard. ~ Religion may be like art; the people who paint the pictures do not belong to the art clubs.—Chicago Tribune.
