MIR. MOODY ON REVIVAI4S.
His Testimony Is That the Con-
verts Usually stay Converted.


verts Usually Stay Converted.
You want to know, says Mr. Moody in
the Boston Globe, whether these ''cOn-
verts'' hold out? That depends on whose
converts they are. If they are mine they
won't but if they're the converts of the
Holy Ghost they VIII.
Paul is Il lood specimen of this. He was
a blaspbemcr, prosecutor and murderer,
for that matter; he calls himself the chief
OF sinners, and yet he was converted like
a flash of lightning, and held out, too,
Peter is another, for although he fell once
yet il was only on deck; lie never fell over
board.
Butthere's 70 need to go back 1900 years
for examples; they're all around US, right
here in Poston. Take the late DR.. A. j.
iordon's testimony. He was one OF the
most active pastors in the meetings held
here twenty caTsago and nearly 300 Ofthe
converts Joined his church. If you'll read
his excellent biography by his son, you'll
find that they all stood firm, with scarce
ly any except ons, and that many OF them
made the most consecrated members he
had. This is saying still II ore, when it's
remembered that nearly one-tenth Of them
had been saved from confirmed drunken
ness Go round to the prayer-meeting Of
the Clarendon Street Church any time, and
hear their testim onials to this day, and
satisfy yourselves.
Dr. Mabie, OF the Baptist Missionary
Union. is a good witness He was pastor
of a RrookIine church at that time. and
he will tell you OF twenty or thirty repre-
sentatives OF the best families of his congre-
CATION who were converted at that time,
and have honored their profession ever
since. Some Of them are among the great
givers of that denomination.
Some three years after these meetings
were held there was a gathering Of the
converts at fremont Temple, when over
/ 900 registered their names as such, be-
sides the large number who sent letters
because they couldn't come personally
1t isn't question OF the converts hold
ing out so much as itis one OF Gods hold
ing on to them. He will never leave them
or forsake them. When he begins the
work in their hearts he continues it for the
same reason that he began it; tn at is, for
His names sake. Blessed are they that
put their trust in him. Believe on the
Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be
saved.

REMARKS BY MIR. JONES.
1t Is Sa IN Jones, and the Said Re-
marks Apply to Boston.

"The law of God said Sam Jones, in
Boston, recently, lis picket fence around
the devils pitfall Listen: Every time you
see the law of God you'll find the picket
fence around the DEVILS pitfall; but some
of you are mighty good jumpers, even with
tn at.
''There are some things brighter than
YOU A diamond is brighter, but it has no
moral character. An arc light is brighter;
but where is the moral character? Bright
ness is not character. Don't talk 20 me
about being bright. I'm talking to you
about your position to God. When / hear
q man boasting about himself, about his
freedom. his right to do this and that,
know he belongs to the DEVILS chain gang.
/ can hear his chains clanking.
1.-The fellow that's going to have good
time the other side Of what is right will
get into trouble right away, and will drag
others in with him. I'm talking to sinners
here tonight The devil has cut you down
until you are working for him, and your
poor old wife is boarding you. You are a
blank fool In spite of all the devil has
done against you, and all that God has
done for you, you can't get man here to
''I don't have much faith in a fellow
that quits the devil and refuses to say any
thing about it. / suppose some OF you wo-
men think l ought to have more propriety.
Lord bless you, what is propriety? It's
straight ahead, and that's what I am
doing Then you say: Jones, you DON use
good grammar Now, grammar is like the
use OF a knife and fork. It's just nicer
way of eating, but can do pretty well with
my fingers, if 1 get chance. I'm not
running on grammar.
"Iknow what sin is, and know the devil
catches the fellow who will listen to him.
He gives them the best first, and finally
gets you, body and soul. God givesthe BIT
ter first It's the cup of conviction. But
you get the brighter, better things as you
20 ou."

ALL ABOUT SKIRTS.

There is to he return to tac old bell
skirt, which was such fayorite sever Al
years go. Many VIII be circular in form,
shaped with few, if any cores. one new
design, which is most graceful, has a single
gored front breadth and Two very wide
hread,hs, which reach to the back. joining
on Il bias seam.
Skirts show less fullncss all the time.
and there seems to be a determined effort
among modistes to Introduce the elabo-
rately trimmed skirt-ihan which there is
nothing less artistic.
There is also "A mo vement in favor Of the
short, but decided, trained skirt, so far for
house dresses only-but one wonders If the
fiat goes forth for trained street gowns as
well, whether the feminine world viii not
meeldy submit to that relic of barbarisnl!
The latest skirts are Tapped and buttoned
on the snk-lined flaps. Indeed, all the
new thin gowns will be made with Innings
separate from the outer skirt-a fashion
eminpntIy appropriate for diaphanoUs ma
:er,als, as il gives the light, airy appear
ance suitable for summer frocks.
The old fashioned skirt, with the full
ness at the knee, krown as the Spanish
flounce, viii bc much in vogue, grace
full style, particularly becoming to very
tail women.
The skirt with many cores, and each
seam trimmed with lace insertion, will
be worn again. Narrow lace edged ruff
flies viii be seen on dimity and organdie
gowns, while the skirt all ruffled to the
waist will be affected by the woman OF
fashion who can easily afford Ia have
crumplcd flounces renovated after every
wear, as sitting down is fatal to the ap-
pearance of such a gown.
As to skirt linings, there is nothing,
OF course, prettier cooler or lighter than
the popular taffeta, but where expense
ofpaTamountin poTtance pcrcaline makes
a very good substitute.
Lawns in old coloTs are shown to match
the new dimities, organdies and swisses,
and these make pretty and serviceable
lining for thin dresses, as well as reducing
the expense considerably, as they cost but
IL 1-2 cents a yard.
Cheap grass cloth OF a coarser tex
ture than that used for the gown itself
is also on sale, and will be much used TO
line the simple morning gown Of that
popular material.

Kept Her Hat On.

young woman, well known in literary
circles, tells OF having been at the play the
other day and Of woman just in front
who was wearing large hat that obscured
the stage.
isn't it awful?'' and GLOW can a woman
do such a thing?'' and similar comments
were made right and left, and the girl
could not have failed TO hear them At
length, when the complainers, mostly
women, had decided that the offender had
no sense OF the rights of others. she turned
around. There were tears in her eyes.
And this, in pleading voice, was all she
said:
what would you yourselves do, If your
bangs were pinned into your hats"
You poor dearr' "Oh, I'm so sorry 1
said anythingr' and "Oh, please keep it
onr' and 1--WE don't mind your hat a bit!''
were the answers. She kept it on.-New

Against CrImped Hair.

Crimped hair, writes Margery Daw, may
some day be as much reproaeh to a
woman as it would have been a surprise
forty years ago. 1t decidedly is going out
among cultured women. Some think it a
waste of time to curl the hair; Others think
it an artistic offense. A majority of the
smart women whom have seen this win
ter have worn their hair parted, brushed
smoothly, though not tightly, from the
temples, and coiled half high at the back
of the head in whatever individual mode
suited the face.

Its Importance to the Child.
1t was Savarin who remarked: ''Ten
me what you eat and l will tell you what

realize that what goes into the stomach
has great deal to do with what comes
out in the brain. DR.. Marie G. Walsh, OF
the department of physiology and physical
training at the Normal School, thinks more
thought should be givpnto diet, and aprupOs
of this important question says:
Has any one considered what sthe every
day diet OF a little child? Here is an actual
case with a direct bearing on the point in
question. A little boy weaned one day was

Americas Most Famous Cook.

Mrs. Talcott Williams, writing of
"The Most Famous Cook IN America"
Mrs. s. T. Rorer, in the February La

When she was about a year old her
parents removed to Buffalo, New York,
where her father became a successful
manufacturing chemist, and where, az
a little girl, she developed a childs
aptitude and interest in her fathers
daily work. She grew up in his labor
atory, gaining a working knowledge of
chemical methods. Her father led the
way in many food experiments. After
spending several years at a private
school in Buffalo, Sarah Heston went,
at the age of eleven, to Aurora, New
York, where she took five years sci
entific course, devoting much time to
chemistry. Returning to Buffalo she
was graduated from finishing school,
after studying for three years. During
all this time she had shown much
fondness tor, and skill in, cooking.
When twelve years old she took prize
