He ia not called upon to emulate the paltry deposition of the past, or to to re»tore the regime of a bygone age „ clamor for tbe return of condition, which were well enough for a lounger civilization, but which should not he inatalled in tarntieth century. Religion ia not soper•tition. faith ia not bigotry, godliness

not intolerance.

We all do well to take account of the Tmrd's admonition concerning the uae of language He has warned ns that we moat answer at tbe last for every idle word we •peak. How many idle words are u*ed. and how massive ia human guilt in this particular. Even those words which should he pronounced with reverence are mixed with frivolities. Other word* which should be used always srriou.ly and with the utmost accuracy are connected with the pronouncement, of garrulous bra mi •and flippant lip*. “Breadth" is one of the word, against which people am moat often. SO that earnest aool* have almost reached the point of suspecting it* tenor whenever they hear it. In common parlance a "broad" Romanist ia a Roman Catholic who care* little or nothing for hia church or for tbe religion which it prraehe*. A ''broad" Oimtian ia a man who. tbougn he may not baee broken with Christianity. hat no definite religion, principles, net clearly stated rules of rieht and wrong, and has no fanlt to find with a propaganda, the success of which would mean only the overthrow of faith but the of society. It ia supposed to be "broad” to be not too scrupulou* about one's am usemenu. to encourage irreligion. to disregard tbe sanctities of Snnday. It u supposed to be "broad" to aay and to do nothing that would indicate that one has religion* feeHngi. to pnt hiro*e!f in the attitude of sympathy with bad thing*. It i* .opposed to be "broad” to upset the Bible, to ra«t discredit upon the church, to brand holy traditions as a nark of lies, to make tbe gospel mean aa little as possible, to reduce religion, not to iu lowest term., but to terms at all. Thus the noble word clothed with a sense which it ought not have When people tell of a "broad statement" they mean a statement which is •nspiciooa, if not inaccurate. When ther refer to a "broad story" they mean a i whieh ia not quite decent. It were to dutinguiah between a true breadth and a spurious breadth, so thst we might he •pared from the ills that follow in tbe train of a mere catchword, and have the blessing and the power which are imparted by the breadth of thought and sympathy which is one of tbe very finest marks of a

of God.

From whatever standnoint it is viewed the reunion of .lean. Christ is characterized tor iu broadirirdednewi It i* to-day tbe only world religion, and the '•hurch looks forward to the time when all tbe people « r'l the nations will become the Lord's disciple.. An examination of the theories or schemes which have been set up opposition to or rivalry with tbe everln tng gospel will disclose their r»ential ns rowne... both as to ideas and life. In co tra.t with the notions held by those vb.. stand aloof from Christ, how broad and •trong is the platform of Chriatian belief! In all the world there i« no creed or confession whieh ia ao ample and liberal and comprehensive sa the NIrene creed, great in what it aay* and in what it »ot aay. in what it defines and what h foaes to define. Iu expressions and iU reticence are significant and imprmatve. In it technical term* hare been reduced to i minimum, and it stand* a* an unfailing source of truth and aspiration which shall bless and enrich all classes of humanity unti! the eloae of the latest age. It proposes the divinity of the Trimtr and the trinity of oivmitr. but not in the forma of philosophy. It declare, the Fatherhood of Uod, the Sonahip of Christ, the perpetual - tatry of the Holy Ghost, but not in elaborate phrase* of tbe theologian. It uphold, the virgin birth of .Tesut. His worldwide office and Hia omitipoteBt en deevora "for us men and for onr salvation.' bnt without tbe glosses of a mistaken devotion Tt nrocla.ma the continuity of the churrh of the anostlea. but without the .pc.-illations and dicta of the ecelesi-olon-t. ft announces the nearness of God's children in every world, and tbe blessed life of endless felieitv which swaits tbs •onj that He has redeemed, but without the fancies and guesses snd vagaries which have vainly tried to explore the hereafter. These truths are not only re. arkahle in the manner of their sUtemrnt. but also in themselves. They are the foundation on which we are asked to boild while we are here, and the stroetnre of onr lho«ghU •nd motives and efforts should be spacious accordingly. What an unspeakable crime it ia to ah Jack such a belief on the score of its altend narrowness. It preaenU tbe largest ideas that man has known, and it present them in the largest possible way. Iu portrayal of .leborah is m harmony with His divine majesty; its account of Jr*us ha* the •serines, and reverence of tbe goiprl oecordinc to St. John; iu interpretation of tbs Ho.y Spirit is a comforting and inspiring doctrine for tbe nssds and son and possibilities of the present; iu dec tten of the church marks it aa a aociaty W grace and blaming whieh was founds' by the Lord. and. like a usautiful angs mveiaU to "tbs hie of the world to come. Thase are the daaraat of all doctriaas, tfa and tbs brigbtast. the largest am. tesst liberal. Whatever elm they are. they »f» aot contracted or paltry, bat aa eatbohe aa God and as oniVerml as man.

have they failed to recognize the comprehensivrnen of the Gospel, and thrv nrefer their ronfeaaions to the catholic faith and their sects lo toe cathohc churrh. It is himply impossible to apologise for them or to offer anv argument in extenuation of their grievous pAeiiac. s'oog thi* line. They have rrstnrted their God and their Bible and their creed, and have stood np stontlv to mist the large minded ness of their Lord Rnt this doe* not really affect the issue which are hive in hand.

He argued that a man’s soul was more important than the gain of the whole world: He came ex-

pressly to lift tinman nature onl ot its

smallness and to place it in an environment

where tbe sons of God rightly be'ong; He

revealed tbe model whieh i« nothing ie*s than the character of the King of king*, and railed all tbe toni of men to a rova! life; He disclosed a large meaning for du-

wait upon them every hour in tbe day. How narrow ia tbe average man! Mod-

em conditions are not an unmired boor, to the masses. There have been many gains, but there have been manv losses *'.*o. Among the losses in the world a* wc know it to-day ia the almost inevitable tendency of onr war of living and our methods of business to curtail th* innividu*l in the living of his life and the doing of his work. More and more are the people of the workaday world hampered and restricted hr tbe demand for specialization. 'I..e individu*) ia being called upon to do some one ta«k and to do it over and over arain three hundred days in tbe ^rear. all of which is equivalent to shutting him within confines where he can scarcely hope to develop into hia best self. This effect i« one of thr deplorable ilia of the times. The rules of offices and factories and shops which encourage experts it ruinous to the

individual who indeed learn* to do one

thing perfectly, hut who is thu* hindered from knowing anything else outside of his daily task. Then. too. tbe spirit oi the business msn that makes him ambitious and satisfied to become a man of bntineas and thus reduce hia life to tbe level of a mere moner maker, is tikelr to prodnes thr same direful result N'o one should willingly become t machine. In spite of the advancement which is one of the wonders of tbe age. the people of tbe United State* are now fare to face with a situation which •orelr requires a ernaade in faror ol hroadmindedneu—a crusade that will exhort the people, in spite of discouragements to the contrary, to find leisure for considering tonic* and resorting to occupations in addition to those which belong to thei* daily engagements. We moat simply maae time for thought and reading and recreation; we must rise to the glorious liberty of the children of God; we mast insist for ourselves that tbe most important things are not meat and drink, but tbs

kingdom of God and Hi* righteousness. We need the bsnadmindedneat of Jesus.

We need Hi* outlook. Hit doctrine. Hi* mode] of thought and life. Hia synimetrr of character. Hia proportion# of manhood. The Saviour of mankind would save »• from pettincaa and illiberalitr. He would ' accept God's largest estimate of
