ST. PAUL's PORTRAIT.
Bright Sermon in the Tabernacle by
Rev. ~. III.

Rev. William H. Scudder of New York,
a cousin of Rev. John L.. Scudder, occu-
pied the pulpit in the Tabernacle yester-
day morning and preached an interest
ing sermons on st. Paul, taking his text
from Ephesians, III, s.; Unto me, who
am less h the least of all saints, is
this grace given, hat I should preach
among the Gentiles the u-nsearchable
riches of Christ
Mr.. Scudder spoke of the Jews, who
at hat time considered themselves the
Jew, and so to him as to others, there
were children of God and children of the
evil one. The Jews were the children
of GOD. While on his way to Damascus
Paul realized that all should be the chill
dren of God, and the question presented
itself, how could they be united. He
had been entrusted with a mission to
could he accomplish hat mission.
'It is said of Paul." said Mr.. Scudder,
that he very small in stature. If
SO his heart was very large. He was UNI
daunted in his purpose. Single handed
he took a mission that today no man
would attempt"
Mr.. Scudder then spoke of the neces-
sity of maintaining the church. The
gospel must be preached and each gen
Grafton must be christianized the same
aus the generation before. Religion does
not descend from father to son as wealth
does. He spoke at length upon the beau
ties of Paufs character. His humility
his earnestness. and energy, and urged
all to emulate him and devote their tall
ents to the work of God. To be the
medium by which Goo shall speak.

DUTY OF PARENTS.
Harvest" Services in Emory
Methodist Church Yester-
day Dr.. Lowfie's
Sermon.

Yesterday was Harvest Day" in En-
DRY M. E. Church, and in every corner
of the church were flowers and sheaves
of wheat, while the pulpit was charm
ingly decorated with cut flowers and all
kinds of fruit.
The Rev. DR.. D. r. Lowrie, the pastor,
preached at both morning and evening
services. In the morning he preached
two sermons, Il of which was to the
children. and the other to the parents.
His first sermon was to the children,
and his text was, The Contrast Between
Weeds and Flowers
In one hand he held a bunch of weeds
and in the other a beautiful bouquet of
flowers. He dwelt briefly upon the va
riety of weeds, telling where they came
from and how they grew up so rapidly
and choked all the flowers unless picked
out. Weeds, he said, were the best Illus
tration OF sin.
On the other hand, he said that flow
ers represented good life. pure thoughts
and good deeds, and were admired and
loved by everybody, while weeds were
rejected n cast aside.
49," continued the doctor. 1--WE should
cast aside sin, children, and embrace
that which is good, pure ard holy
He then asked the children a number
of questions, regarding the growth of
weeds and the injury they did to flow
ers, to which they readily responded.
The children iof the Junior Epworth
League, who occupied the body OF the
church, then sang a hymn, after which
DR.. Lowrie preached to the adults. His
theme was. who Our Successors VIII
Be-"
SHOULD CARRY ON THE WORK.
He said that the boys and girls ought
to AXE the place of the fathers and
the parents left off But, he said, it
was more often otherwise, as very few
children nowadays were taking the place
of their parents. Continuing, he said
Look at the business houses in New
York, for ~instancei Instead of the name
being perpetuated when the members Of
a firm died, by their children taking
hold, business is suspended at the death
of the father and some outsiders come
in and continue he business. So in
church work exactly. But very few
full Christians, are seen inside the church
when they get out out of their teens and
enter into manhood"
In conclusion he impressed upon the
parents the necessity Of training their
children properly.
At the close of the services a subscrip-
ton was up for the Sunday school
library, and over $50 volumes, in books
and money, were received.
KING GEORGE ADOPTED IT.
In the evening DR.. Lowrie spoke in
reference to the Feast of Harvest" of
the Jewish nation and of the old .Har-
vest Home" of England. He also told
of the Pilgrim Fathers and the celebra-
ton OF Thanksgiving Day as a day of
humiliation and prayer.
He said that old King George, after
hearing that the Americans had set a
day aside for Thanksgiving, instituted it
in England. And when asked why he
did So, and if it was on account of the
war with the Americans and the great
losses England sustained, he replied
it is mot worse han it is"
But" said DR.. Lowrie in conclusion,
1--WE give thanks to God for our present
prosperity and His wonderful goodness
to us"

HER CHARM OF MANNER.

A modern thinker has said: .fThe, only
empire freely conceded to women is
that of manners but it worth all the
rest put together AHdxa young mother
Of the writer's Acquaintance, speaking
of her baby girl, said earnestly: IF 1
might claim a fairy godmother's single
gift for her 1t should not be beauty, in
teliect or wit. but that charm of manner
which makes it possessor universally well
liked. We ipstinctivelySoofe feel that the
graces and amenities of life must always
be largely under the direction of women,
and these graces and amenities are too
strong a power to be ignored, One sees
women who9fnay be intellectually ignor-
ant and narrow, but whose charming
mannersvgive them a. social power quite
beyond their broader and better educated
sisters. And, after all. to make pleasant
ness and peace for all ones little world.
to make ones house a place where every
guest enters eagerly and leaves reluc-
family. to give courage to the timid, ease
to the awkward,iit6 repress undue vigor
of discussion and to make ever c%ontro-
versy pleasant, all belong to woman's
traditional sphere. and it, is a sphere so
important that even the virtues are not
quite complete without it.-Philadelphia

QUEEN WILHELMINA'S WINTER

No one began to prepare earlier for the
advent of ice and cold than Queen Will
hehnina of Holland. This sweet little lady
is now just fifteen. The cycling suit worn
by the little Queen is a pretty brown. The
revers upon the waist are bright red.
There are yellow buckskin straps upon the
skirt and waist, and she wears a neat
buckskin belt with gold buckle. The
brown and gold, and upon her head Will
helmina wears the queer little sealskin
cap which the girls of Holland wear

criminaliy reckless. and that is pass stop
ing cars at high speed. The steam rail
roads were forced. long ago. to abandon
this deadly practice. No train is allowed
to pass a station at which another has
stopped on any well managed road, yet
cars dash past stopped cars every minute
of the day. taking the chance of mang-

There can be little doubt but if rapid
transit is to be a feature Of modern city
life the courts OF Legislature will have to
modify the law of responsibility for acct
dents. Something like the stop. look
and listen which applies to steam rail-
way crossings will have to be adopted.
In cold blood, it is hard to imagine how
an adult pedestrian contrives to get run
over. It is so easy to keep out OF the way
so difficult to get into danger, that It is
n wonder how an accident ever happens,
except to young children. In all the cases
in this city. the victim has. We might say,
deliberately walked in front Of the motor,
so that no effort Of the TROLLEY man could
save him or her. even If the car was go
ing slow.
