Ninety years from now, immeasurably more than now, the world's practical religion will be the great spiritual and ethical truths which men in great numbers are discovering in the New Testament — that record of the truth revealed to the first Christians. Churches will be one fellowship and have their place by the efficiency with which they carry the knowledge of a religion for this world and for the next to all men — a cleansing, a burden-bearing, a hopeful religion. The working creed will be the thirteenth chapter of first Corinthians, which has its climax in the heart of Christ with which it closes. "Now abideth faith, hope, love, . . . and the greatest of these is love."

James R. Day, D.D.
The Congregationalist.

After all is said and done, the conquest over self is the greatest victory a soul can achieve. The man who never loses his temper, whatever the provocation; who never becomes bitter, whatever his adversities; who never loses his optimism and sweetness, whatever his dissappointments— such a man is greater than he who gets his name into the mouth of the world. This greatness can be achieved by any of us. It is as accessible for the humblest as for the highest, and, though we fall short of the mark again and again, the victory is the greater when once achieved.
