SERMONETTES

Getting in Line. —The man who does not line tip with God's people in the great fight for righteousness is on the side of the devil and arrays himself against God. —Rev. A. R. Holderby, Methodist, Atlanta. Neglect.-*-Neglect is the mother of more calamities than perhaps nearly, arty other sin. It is not necessary for the farmer to cut down his fences in order to destroy them, but simply let him neglect them and they go to ruin. It is not necessary for a parent to destroy -* child in a summary manner, but allow that parent only to neglect the 4child physically, morally or spiritually and there comes destruction.—Rev. H. A. Tupper, Baptist, Brooklyn. Woman. The spiritual quality in woman’s nature causes her to tower above all of God's creations. She is the leader of men along the pathway of life, his guide and inspiration. If she does not help him to do better things-through good influences, It is in her power to drag him down to the lowest degradation of civilization. The first woman was tempted by the serpent, not because she was weaker than man. hut because she was so much stronger.—Rev. J. E. Smith, Methodist, Washington, D. C. * Short Meter Sermons. Good cheer chokes many a fear. You are never rich enough to spurn love. Sacrifice gives a heavenly grace to any gift. The glowing visiou comes In lowly service. * The salt of the earth will have no sour virtues. -True charity knows nothing of absent treatment. Angels are always singing where love is working. God has only one school for character, that of daily life. The happiness neaped to-day depends on that sown yesterday. There is no hiding from the subpoenas of the court of conscience. You cannot tell much about the breadth of a mao’s mind by the width of his mouth. Some men think they can put cash iu one jiaqket and conscience in tha other, and by keeping the left hsad ignorant of deeds of the right live happy ever after.
