In place of "a clean hearth and the
rigor of the game" there are all sorts of
liberties taken and all sorts of dainty
accessories contrived to make it more
social and attractive
The tally card shown here is an exact
copy of one used at a recent pansy
whist On that occasion there were
flowers galore, and no oolors were al
lowed but the puppies and yellows of
the blossoms. Two of the tallies were
placed upon each table, and they excit-
ed considerable admiration among the
guests. As they proved practical as well
as ornamental, there is no reason against
their use for less elaborate parties, and
as they are quite easy to make each
hostess can supply herself if the model
meets favor in her sight.
First draw a large sized pansy on
rather stiff water color paper, then
paint it, and when dry cut the blossom
out along the outlined edge. Close to
the center make two incisions, each
three quarters of an inch in length and
half an inch apart Cut a strip of law
ender or gold colored ribbon, as best
suits the coloring of the pansy. and at
intervals Of three-quarters of an inch
paint the figures from one to ten. Fringe
out each end for the depth Of one-half
inch and allow theribbon to extend few
inches beyond the figures at both one
and ten. Pass one end through one in
cision from the under side and down
again through the second. You will
find that by simply slipping the ribbon
along the needed number can be turned
to view. and perfect tally can be kept.

In this chapter Paul. by analogy, rep

which exists between the head aud the

church the body, and going still further
he represents tile relation Of the individ-
ual members Of the church to ii BY
that which the members Of the body
sustain to it. Endeavorers, therefore,
as members Ct the church are members,
organs. Of the body Of Christ, and in
studying the relation Of the members Of
the body to it We may see the relation
Of the members Of the church to the
church and consequently how they may
help il
/. All the members OF the body have
something to do. Not one organ Of the
body has been created without an OBJ
ject. God intended it to do something,

members Of His body to be active il His
service We are to present our bodies q
living sacrifice, not dead one. We are
to be living stones as part Of Christ's
temple There is no placs in the body
of Christ for slothfnl, idle and indolent
members. The branch that does not
bear fruit is removed and cast into the
fire. The one who does not use the tai
ent given to him loses it. Forfeiture Is
the penalty Of neglect in all cases
2. Each member Of the body has q
definite, specific work to perform, and
the success and harmony Of the whole
structure lies in its faithfully perform
ing it. All have work. but not all the
same work The eye is for seeing, the
ear for hearing, the feet for walking It
is the same in the body Of Christ To
each one God has given some talent
ability to do some special work for Him.
All are not apostles. all are not prophets,
all are not teachers, but it takes the
work of all to make full rounded, SYM
metrical, successful church. If you
would help your church. find out what
is the talent God has given you and use
it. Be content to fill little space if nee

His church may prosper.
