The present is an age Of fippart
preaching. Men handle the word Of God
with 10 more reverence than they would
one Of Burns poems or Shakespeare 5
plays. Sermons are punctuated with
smart sayings, stale anecdotes and exag-
geratcd statements. AL Of these things
may strike the minds Of sinners as
bright, entertaining and agreeable, but
they are not the things to most deeply
impress the soul with divine truth. The
manner Of him who stands in the pulpit
to represent God to men should indicate
gravity, solemnity, reverence and deep
earnestness, to show sinners the evil of
their doings and impress all with the
awful importance Of the gospel message.
No true servant of Christ should depend
on his Wit and pleasantly or his philos
ophy to win his way into the citadel Of
the heart and subdue it unto Christ 1t
is the power CT gospel truth by the Spirit
that does that-Christian Instructor.

BUSINESS wuMAN's EOTEL.

way, but nothing adequate TO the needs
of New York has been suggested or in
anyway brought before the public until
Mrs. Dunlop Hopkins conceived the idea
of erecting series of buildings, hand.
some, spacious comfortable and. pracei-
cal, adapted to the requirements of ..lc
working women of New York.
Designs for the first four of the series,
the business woman's hotel, the aft
students home, the clubhouse and thu
model tenement, are already completed
1t is calculated that at least two, if not
the entire series, will be we'll under way
early i'll the spring.
The architects for this scheme Of
women's buildings, which is the most
elaborate in the United States, if not in
the world, are Miss Mary Cannon and
Miss Alice Hands, partners, friends and
former pupils Of the New York School
of Applied Design.
THE crying need of the hour" Mrs.
Hopkins said i'll speaking of this vast
scheme, lis the providing Of proper
home for the hosli of working women
that are filling up our cities. Not one
home or building, but many Of them.
"When | decided to put into operation
the plan for IA home or hotel for art stu
dents | took all my IDEAS and sketches
and submitted them to the students at
the league. 1t was not question of
what l wanted or what Mrs Fred Van
derbilt might think sensible or Mr..
Glider might approve. We might all
make good suggestions, but art students
are to live i'll the building, and l want it
to be adapted to the needs and so far as
possible wishes of the women who are
to occupy it.
In the same manner | consulted bus
mess women about business woman's
hotel. talked with professional women,
with lawyers, Journalists and teachers
and modelled the design Of an apartment
house and hotel for them on their own
views of what was most practical and
desirable. -
The business woman's hotel will be
divided into series of small apartments
and single rooms. The single rooms
will be arranged in groups of six, with
one parlor and bath for each group.
This arrangement enables each girl to
have her private" parlor one night in
the week and to have a pleasant place
fer reunion on Sundays. Smaller apart
ments of one or two bedrooms parlor
and bath are planned for the women
with Il larger weekly stipend.
The question of the latcAkey, which
as destroyer of working womens
"homes" has proved more disastrous
than fire or water, will not be preached
in any Of the series of buildings designed
by Mrs. Hopkins. Working women,
she declared, need less, not more, re-
strictions than other women. "
When asked if charity in any form
would be required to carry on these
buildings, Mrs. Hopkins said: 81 do

The Joy of Incompletenes

II all our lives were one broad glare
OF sunlight, clear, unclouded;
II all our path were smooth and fair,
By no soft gloom enshrouded;
II all life's flowers were fully blown
Without the sweet unfolding,
And happiness were rudely thrown
On hands too weak for holding
Should we not miss the twilight hours,
The gentle haze and sadness?
Should we not long for storms and shower
To break the constant gladness?
II none were sick and none were Ead,
What service could we render2
think If we We're always glad
We scarcely could be tender.
Did our beloved never need
Our patient ministration,
Earth would grow cold and miss, indeed,
Its sweetest consolation.
II sorrow never claimed our heart
And every wish were granted,
Patience would die and hope depart
Life would be disenchanted.
And yet in heaven is no more night,
In heaven Is no more sorrow.
Such unludgined, new delight,
Fresh grace from pain will borrow.
As the poor seed that under ground
Seeks its true life above 1t,
Not knowing what will there be found
When sunbeams kiss and love IL,
So we III darkness upward grow,
And look and long for heaven,
But cannot picture it below

Art TickinEs.

Art tickings is the name, and they
deserve it, for the really beautiful fab
RIGS into which the common bed ticking
has developed. The original material
had the two qualities of cheapness and
durability to recommend it. These have
been retained, and to them have been
added beauty and variety of pattern and
thoroughly artistic finish. The demand
for college colors in upholstery fabrics
is becoming more and more recognized,
and it is possible to get these tickings in
the colors Of several Of the best known
eastern colleges, They come, too, in
beautiful chlntz and cTetonne effects and
in Persian and other oriental designs.

ToPIc,-"Wfat is true liberty, and how Ia
u wonf"-John viii, 3U-40
Liberty is one of the most priceless
boons of humanity. 1t Is universally de-
sired. Men sacrifice everything ofttimes
for liberty. Slavery Of any kind Is de-
testable and revolving. Since liberty is sc
important and SO much to be desired,
it is of the greatest Importance that
we should have correct ideas Of liberty,
that we should know what Is the high
est and truest form Of liberty and be
anxious to attain to it. There are many
false standards Of liberty in the world
today. To some liberty means license
license to do rs they please regardless
OF their obligations to God CT to their
fellow men. Liberty does not mean IL
cense No man has right TO act as If
he were the only person III existence.
Our actions must always he viewed from
the standpoint Of our relation to God
and TO the others in life about US. Nor
are physical, political and mental forms
Of liberty the highest and truest forms.
Men are often free politically and
physically and yet slaves. On the
other hand, men are often slaves politi-
cally and physically, and yet at the same
time are enjoying the truest liberty.
The best and the truo>t liberty in the
world Is soul liberty-liberty from the
passions and lusts Of life, freedom from
the chains Of sin and Of unbelief that
bind men stronger than ever the chains
Of physical slavery bound them. Men
often think they are free when they are
not The Jews, because of their descent
from Abraham, claimed they were free
men, boasted Of their liberty, vet Christ
pointed out to them that they were IN
slavery TO unbellef and to sin and did
not possess the liberty which He alone
could give to them. Sinners often boast
Of their liberty. Free thinkers and free
livers, who place no limits to thought
or life, imagine they are the freest Of
men; that they enjoy the highest forms
Of true liberty The fact, however, IS
that it is only the shadow Of liberty. In
reality they are slaves, captives TO the
most degrading beliefs and actions, and
y
makes a man free from sin, gives him
absolute power and control over himself
and makes him recognize the supreme
claims Of the law Of God as against his
own sinful desires.
How is true liberty won? Through
Jesus Christ alone. Men may free US
from physical bondage and slavery, but
Christ alone can break the chains Of sin
and make Us spiritually free. If we en-
joy the liberty wherewith Christ hath
made Us free, we are free indeed. 9th
erwise we are not free. Christ is willing
to make Us al free-to give us power to
overcome sin, self and the world and to
live fer God, cur fellow men and the
life to come.
