Christianity roust Ile to make our -
:nit es and others, the mothers and
fathers, the brothers and sisters,
more happy and wrist, more hearty
and coerageou8, more manly, more
womanly, inure open in conduct.
Christianity is a life and not a set
01 dogmas or a co red. It will make
our serial and honed life broader; it
will make us less selfish it will lead
us to give our confidence with less
reserve; ask advice with open heart
and hold ourselves amenable to rea-
son. If we are Christians we will

practice on the faun.
Fanners want a faith that express-
es itself In love to God and love to
man. Such a faith lies back of all
theologies. "It grafi nes in the
worship of all the homes and church-
es. When it is present it sanctifies
alt opinions, when '1 is absents to-
ligicn becomes a ellen. and a delu-

abroad, amid duties and trials. it is
a liuv; in human intercourse it. is
charity; in temptation it Is a shield;
in wafering it is patience; in sorrow
it is comfort; in death It is the wis-
dom of heavenly peace."
Let the religion on the sarin be
simplified so the (•hilt}reit will under-
stand it. Our character, which 19 an
expression of kindness and considera-

up in our midst here and now.
Often our children fail to respect
our religion because we do not fill
our highest capacity. We allow Rome
