Il. "a question box meeting suggested.)
This life is largely made up Of mys-
teries- There are problems and perplexi-
ties in every walk Of life. and the Chris
tian's life is no exception. God has re-
vealed many precious things to us, and
yet in the spiritual as well al in the
material universe there are many things
that have not been revealed. 1t could
scarcely be otherwise God is infinite.
We are finite, and if God had revealed
these things perhaps we would not have
been able to comprehend or understand
them. Christ practically said as much
to Nieodemus when he questioned Him
about the mysteries Of the regeneration
Of the soul, for He said, eff tell you
of earthly things and ye cannot under
stand. how can you understand if tell
You Of heavenly things?"
Still there is in the human mind an
intense craving, so far as possible. to un-
derstand these problems and perplexi-
ties, and there is nothing wrong il this
desire nor the attempt to satisfy it, but
something may be wrong in the way we
attempt to solve these problems True
wisdom comes from God in some way.
Solomon was the wisest man who ever
lived, and yet he obtained all his wis
dom direct from God. But God has CIV
en- us one even wiser than Solomon,
even Jesus Christ, His own Son, and
His wisdom surpassed that Of all men
because He was God as well as man.
Therefore Christ should be our final
court Of appeal in all the problems Of
life. When worried and perplexed, we
should go to His word to see what He
has to say upon the subject, and when
He does not satisfy every desire or crav-
ing we should leave it all with Him
and trust God for what has not been
revealed. ''Tbe secret things belong I'M
to the Lord our God, but the things that
have been revealed belong unto US and
to our children forever, that we may do
all the works Of this law.
The great lesson that these problems
and perplexities should teach us is sim
pie childlike trust in God. God knows
what is best for us. He knew what to
reveal for our good and what not to re-
veal The secret things, the mysteries
of life, belong to Him. Let us leave them
with Him. The things that have been
revealed belong to us. Let US live up to
what has been revealed. and we may
rest assured that if we do the day will
come when we shall understand even
the Christian problems and perplexities-

coquettish little bonnets are seen. True,
that delightful if short season is not yet
here, but the gay and warm garments
are, and they are snugly reposing await
ing the glad news that the ball is up. y
The skating season in Paris, Berlin
and Vienna brings out some of the most
fetching Of all the costumes seen in a
year. Marine and Prussian blue, ruby,
cardinal and rich emerald green and
Russian green are the colors best liked
for skating costumes in those countries,
and naturally they are accepted here too.
The skating costumes for this season
are very brilliant and also very costly.
Velvet corduroy in bright colors and
thick woolens are all seen. Every one
has trimming more or less ornate
around the bottom. There are very few
wide skirts to be worn to skate in, for
the wind would make such an exercise
impossible. The skirts, as rule do not
measure more than three yards around
There are full union sets of underwear
made of perforated chamois for skating
purposes, and that renders cumbersome
clothing unnecessary. The jacket is fire.
quently an Eton in form, made Of fur
and buttoned closely. Some Of the jack
cts are of the dress material and made
wintry by additions of fur But the
crowning glory of the costume consists
Of the hat and the muff. Turbans made
Of sealskin and beaver are very pretty,
but not too becoming to some faces
They ar,s trimmed with close rosettes,
pheasants' necks or perhaps a queer lit
tie ornament made of sealskin. Another
shape Of turban is made of Persian lamb
and has cute little trimming of stiff
feathers in bronze coloring The alpine
hat is also shown in sealskin, and beau
tiful it is. This has always-at least all
/ have seen have--tufts of shaded brown
fancy quill feathers. But other close
hats are quite suitable, and we shall see
cunning little velvet capotes and close
hats and also a few continentals and
bonnets made Of sealskin. Colors on
these hats may be as vivid as fame
They add warmth to the icy surround
ings
The muffs are of every kind, shape
and style, but think the preference is
for fancy shapes. I noticed two l
thought very pretty. One was like

On each end was a bow made Of seal
skin, and the wide ends were draped

ture originally adorned him with. An

Truth forces the observer Of nature to
admit that birds and other creatures ap-
portion the earth among themselves just
about as man does. A bear has his bonn
daries beyond which his fellow bear does
not trespass with impunity-the wild
rabbit you see on your lawn in the
moonlight is the same innocent little
creature you have been seeing every
night all the summer time-and even
the robin that gathers the early worm
for his breakfast from your garden will
show fight when another comes marsud-
ing on his preserve. Nor does this last a
year only, for there is good evidence that
the same bird will come back to the
claim it staked off the year previous. -

How to Make 4 Nursery wall Panel

Avery pretty bit of decoration for the
nursery is a wall panel of blue linen
made is inches wide and ! u yards
long. Take Mother Goose book, illus
trated in colors, cut out the pictures and
paste them on the linen panel, making
as regular and artistic an arrangement
as possible. The pictures should be cut
in squares, and when transferred to the

the same is painted all around the edge
Of the linen panel, which is fastened

Burning on the Ghost.

In China, after a person is dead,
many Of the people are in great fear Of
coming in contact with his ghost. A Ia
