between. Good-by, sweet soui- Why
should you longer stay? Your work all
done: your burdens all carried; your
tears all wept. Forward into the light!
Up into the joys, Out into the grand
eurs! And after you have saluted
Christ and your kindred, search out
him of the palaces of Lebanon cedar,
and tell him that you rave found to be
gloriously true what thousands of years
ago he asserted in this mornings text:
''Wisdom is better than rubies."
In those FURNISHED palaces Of our God
may we all meet. For | confess to you
that my chief desire for Heaven is moi
the radiance, or, to take the sugges-
ton of the text, not the rubescence of
the scene. Ny one idea of Heaven is
the place tn meet old friends, God,
our best friend, and our earthly friends
already transported. Aye! to meet the
millions whom | lave never seen, but
to whom | have administered i'm the
gospel week by week through Journal
ism on both sides Of the sea, through
out Christendom, and through many
lands yet semi arbaric. For the last
twenty-threc years every blast of in
justice against me has multiplied my
readers all the world over. and the
present malignancy printed and uttered
because our church is in financial strug-
gle after having two great structures
destroyed by fire, and we compelled
to build three large churches-I say
the present outrageous injustice in
some quarters, will multiply my
audience in all lands if | can keep in
good humor and not fight back. And |
here and now say to the forty millions
of the earth to whose eyes these words
will come, that one of my dearest an
ticipations is to meet them in Heaven.
All! that will be better than rubies.
Coming up from different continents,
from different hemispheres, from OPP
posite sides of the earth to greet each
other in holy love in the presence of
the glorious Christ who made il possi-
bic for us to get there. Our
sins all pardoned, IL sorrows
all banished, never to weep,

you that will be better than rubies.

old friends back again, Christ, 1.-The
friend who sticketh closer than a broth

gone up from our bereft households,
and all our friends whom we have
never yet seen, and you may
have all the rubies, for that

of the dying kiss when they looked
SO pale and wan and sick, il will be the
kiss of welcome on lips jubilant with
song, while standing on floors paved
with what exquisiteness, under ceilings
hung with what glory. bounded by
walls facing us with what ~splendor,
amid gladness rolling over us with
what D~oxology. Fan better, infinitely
better, everlastingly better than rubies.

Woman's power is not of the blatant

1~k{nfy. women are growing
eyo<y year in regard to matters
OF dress. Not only do they show more
thought for their health than their
grandmothers did-for what sane wom-
m would now go on the streets in low
neclsed gowns with short sleeves and
skirts that left but little to the
imagination, to say nothing Of wear
ing the thinnest Of low shoes even in
the depth of winter? But they are as
serting their individuality where they
would never have dared to assert IL n
few years ago-in the very sanctum
sanctorum of the temple Of fashion.
For gradually but surely the making
of the mode is passing out of the hands
of the modiste into those of her fair
patrons-not, perhaps. to any very
great extent as yet. but still sufficient
" to prove the truth OF the proverb
that Coming events cast their shadows

AS for my Lady of Fashion herself,
what remains to be said CT her that

ness and beauty through these many
months. During the spring and sum
mer, when she donned her gayest gart
and wore her sunniest smiles, there
was SO much Of loveliness in her co
quettish personality that we had moi
the heart to chide her for her few
trifling eccentricities; and now tina,
she has assumed her winter finery, she
is every wit as witching as ever.
We will not blame her for her hckle
