A subject that reeds a volume. If YOU
will look it over you will understand why.

of two superlatiVcs-larsest and best.
These fabrics might aptly he termed
"uight-booming teHtilcs"-a delicate trlb-
ute to their beauty and the fact that they
are for evening wear.
Among all these temptations of pretti-
ness there is little need to add the per-
suasion of prices. But they are moderate
enough. We are proud 10 claim that no
other store i'm this corner of the Common

An address containing many senti-
snents of practical Christian thought
was delivered by A. u. Holland in St.
Juke's church on Wednesday evening
before a large congregation. The oc-
,as;on was the annual meeting of the
united chapters of St. Andrews Broth
erhooG in this city.
Mir, Holland said:
To-day the church commentaries ST.
Andrew. the apostle, and, therefore, II is
most appropriate that st. Andrews Bro
Iherhood should hold its annual meeting
at this time.
ST. Andrew is the patron saint OF Scot
land; churches, towns and university
being named for him. His memory Is
also cherished in the eastern church. This
part of the church is the next largest 10
the western or Latin church, which is
known among us as the Roman Cathonc
The Eastern church numbers about one
hundred millions of souls They hold TO
the orthodox faith and have all the ira
ditions of primitive Christianity. Some
of their churches are in this neighoor-
hood They can be distinguished from
others by the combination of crosses
thereon St. Andrews cross always ac-
companies the cross of Christ. The red-
son for this is that it was st. Andrew
who first carried the Gospel to the east,
A recent writer has said that there
should be posted on all church doors the
words ''no admission except on business
The business of q member of the church
is thought by SCme to mean only tnat
we must try to save our own souls, and
because this has been made so prominent
by some, Christianity has been called n
selfish religion by the champions of other
faiths. I need not tell you the religion
of the blessed Christ is not selfish, even
though the lives of some very good peo-
pie would make it appear so.
ANSWER OF A JAPANESE.
Not long ago a Japanese merchant who
had lived in our country some time and
graduated at one of our educational in
stitutons was asked by brotherhood
man if he had become a Christian lie
replied that he had not and that he did
not care to live by any religion, but that
he should like to die in his own, which
was Shintoism. This represents the very
essence of SoltishnesS and can doubtless
be duplicated in this, our own Christian
land. Men who wish to be counted as
Christians live as if they only wanted TO
die in favor with God and they only lack
the frankness OF the Japanese
We all live as if we would be satisfied
in other words, to escape hell and | am
bound to say that this does not proceed
from any feeling of worthiuess. but from
the absence of desire to merit a greater
reward We are not very greatly inn
pressed by the promise that they "who
turn many to righteousness shall shine
