Don't Polish Your Nails.

fyou want to be quite up to date don't
polish your finger nails any more. 1t
isn't considered good style to have them
shine as though they had just been
dipped in the butter. And leave it to
nature to tint them; which she will do
quite sufficiently if you have any good,
healthy blood in your veins. The pink
slaves and powder and the polishing are
meretrious and in bad taste. and were
invented by the m%anicures to make peo-
pie believe they We're getting something
for their money when they sat for an
hour letting a young woman fuss owe
their hands and do what they could
just rs well have done for themselves
in half the time and at nc expense.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAvOR.


Topic For the Week Beginning Dec. 16.
Comment by Rev. S. Iii. Doyle.
TOPIC Different ways Of rejecting Christ
Mark xv, GA; Heb. vi, 4-o.
That there are different ways Of re-
jecting Jesus Christ, the Son Of GOD, as a
Saviour Is a matter both of observation
and Of testimony Of the word Of God.
In the references given above there are
practically three reflections Of Christ
and each one of a different character.
The first is the Jews rejection Of Christ,
the second is Pilates, and the third,
given in Heb vi, 4-6, may be called the
backslider's rejection Of Christ 1t ID
to these that our study is directed.
The first rejection is that Of the Jews.
The Jews as a nation rejected Christ,
although many prominent people Of the
kingdom accepted. They rejected Christ
because of their unbelief in Him, and
they did not believe in Christ because
He did not fulfill their idea Of what the
Messiah ought to be. They had certain
exalted ideas as to what the Saviour
should be, and when Christ came and
did not fulfill these they violently re-
jected Him. This is the rejection of un-
belief, for the reason already stated.
There is much Of the same kind of re-
lection of Christ and for the sams rea-
son in the world today. Christ does not
fulfill the ideas of many as to what
savior Of men should be. His plan Of
salvation is different from what they
expect, and they refuse to believe in
Him and reject Him because of their
unbelief. The absurdity Of such rejec-
tion can be easily seen, as if God did
not know what Christ should have been
better than men.
The second rejection was by PLATE.
PLATE in a sense rejected Christ, but
for different reason from that of the
Jews. In sense he did not disbelieve.
1t was purely moral cowardice that
caused him to reject Christ He feared
the effect Of standing up for Christ upon
the people. and therefore sided with the
populace against him. This is also a
common way by which Christ is reject
ed today. Many feel like PLATE, that
they should champion his cause. but
they fear to do it They are afraid to
face the sneer and ridicule of friends or
the opinion Of the world
The third kind of rejection is the
backslider's rejection. This is the sad
dest of all, if it could actually be, for
it would be the rejection of one who
had already believed in and tasted the
goodness of the Lord. Those who really
and truly do this we do not believe can
ever permanently reject Christ

At the lookout committee conference
at Cleveland Rev. Elwell o. Mead Of
Burton, O., gave the following outline
form for the reception Of new members
to his Christian Endeavor society.
The new members are received at
the conservation meeting only. First
they sign the constitution, in the pres
ence Of the society. After brief adj
dress by the president the chairman Of
the lookout committee gives the new
members the right hand Of fellowship,
with appropriate remarks. Then fol-
low prayer by the pastor and the
presentation to each of a Christian En-
deavor pin, the latter ceremony being
performed by the treasurer.
The little ceremony-that, though it
is simple, may be made exceedingly eff
fective and helpful in promoting the
spiritual life of the society and of the
new members-is closed with the sing
ing of ''Blest be the tie that binds. -
Exchange.

The poet Shelley tells an amusing
story of the influence that language
t'hard to be understood exercises on
the vulgar mind. Walking near Covent
Garden, London, he accidentally jostled
against an Irish navy, who, being in a
quarrelsome mood, seemed inclined to
attack the poet. A crowd of ragged sym
pathizers began to gather, when Shell
ley, calmly facing them, deliberately
pronounced:
II have put my hand into the ham
per. 1 have looked on the sacred barley.
I have eaten out of the drum. have
drunk and am well pleased. have said
Knox Ompax, and it is finished.
The effect was magical. The aston
ished Irishman fell back. His friends
began to question him. "What bar
ley?'' where's the hamper?" "What
have you been drinking?" and Shelley
walked away unmolested. Junior.

The imagination will sometimes fly
up to God with such power that ca
gle's wings cannot match it. 1t some
times has such might that it can almost
see the King in His beauty and the land
which is very far off. But if it is potent
one way it is another, for imagination
has taken us down to the-lowest planes
of earth. But rejoice and think of one
thing-that can cry out when this i'm
agination comes upon me. So it is with
the Christian. If he cries out, there is
hope. Can you chain your imagination?

Common salt as remedy for brow
ague, = that distressing form of head
ache, has lately been extolled by some
physicians The idea in increasing the
amount of the salt used with the food
was that of augmenting the hydrochlo-
rio acid in the juice Of the stomach
at least considerable success is claimed
for this remedy, which, however, it is
needless to say, will not operate success
fully in all cases. By the way, shifting
q little finely powdered salt up the nos
tril of the affected side has been found
to cure the pain in neuralgia Of the face.
