From ne 50. Lo'ts T0st- Dispdtet.
Women, keen as they are to study
what is becoming TO their style Of
beauty, often make serious mistakes In
the artistic part OF their toilet. One Of
the oldest is the way In which they
decorate their throats when wearing "A
low cut dress. II Is the idea Of nearly
every woman that a black velvet band
heightens the beauty Of the necki II the
neck Is long and slender She will
almost invatiabe insist upon wearing a
band Of black velvet This really
makes Il longer and slendcrer.
The effect of the black close
up to the neck and face is always to
make them look thin. A very stout
woman with a too plump neck may wear
a band effectively, but the thin woman
should wear light blue or pink ribon,
or a string Of pearls or gold beads.
These produce the correct effect for the

1T CANNOT BE SHAKEN.
Rev. Lhamon breaches on the
Kingdom of God.

Kingdom of God.
Rev. W. j. Lhamon occupied the pull
pit in Christ church last evening, and
preached a powerful sermon on "a
Kingdom That Cannot Be Shaken" as
follows:
On the day of Pentecost the Apostle
Peter preached that Jesus had arisen
from the grave, and ON that day He
founded Christianity in the midst of
Judaism, though the latter was it's inn
plaesble enemy; Fact is fixed for ever
more, and truth Is true to all eternity.
Truth cannot be froWned down, nor
laughed into discredit, nor argued out
of existence, nor erucified effectually.
Persecution helps the right. Death
immortaliZes truth. If Jesus had have
been an imposter the cross would have
ended His pretensions. He was not an
imposter. but the verltable Son of
God, and His death added enlarge
ment to His life. The more you come
to look at persecution of truth the more
you will stand in awe of its folly. The
whole force of the ancient world was
thrown against the infant church; they
they used reason and ridicule and tor
ture, and issued DEGREES, and enacted
laws against the disciples of the NaZa-
rene; yet all their efforts came to moth
ing, as when mad waves dash themselves
to foam around the base of some ma
Jestlc mountain crag. In the CONVEX
sion of Saul, the bitterest prosecutor of
the church became its mightiest
preacher. Kings trembled before him.
and nothing could dampen the ardor
or thwart the success of his ministry,
In the fine language of a recent critic
there was in the apostolic day "a fire
of faith that burnt to the waters edge
all round the Mediterranean, and re-
made the Roman w0rld.''
Who can think for momen that the
truth established in that day against
such odds can be at all seriously endan-
gered to-day by its weaker adversaries?
In half dozen lines any student mi ght
easily name as many fiaShy theories
against Christianity. that have been
born and bred and buried in the last
fifty years, Everybody talked about
Robert ElSmere for six weeks. Since
we hear no more of it, we presume it is
stored away side by side with Guliver's
Travels or the Arabian Nights, only
those books are truer to their ideals,
and are far more entertaining, and will
hold their place when Elsmere is eff
fectually forgotten.
After all the lusty Boosting we have
heard about philosophy, or theOso-
ply, or an ethics. or an esthetics, or
science, or culture to take the place of
Christianity. it still remains fact that
Christians are multiplying more rapidly
than ever before, and more is being
done to evangelize the world than at
any previous time. So far as any danger
to real Christianity is concerned. the
real Christian can afford to be the most
complacent man in the world. Our
of the centuries, having left il still un-
SHAKEN, serve only to confirm our faith,
