depth.
The one-seam sleeves wrinkle in
mousouetaire style above the elbow
and are arranged over smooth Innings
which may be omitted. The wrists
are completed by cuffs that fare over
the hand and are trimmed with lace
and ribbon to correspond. A ribbon
sash or crush belt is worn around the
waist. The skirt is shaped with five
cores, closely fitted with short darts
over the hips and arranged with un-
derlying pleats that meet over the
placket in centre back.
The mode is desirable for gowns of
foulard, India and China silk surah,
challie, yelling, and other soft wool
ems, lawns. dimity, null, point-d'es-
prit, percale, gingham and other cot
ton fabrics. Lace embroidery or ruch-
ings of the material, with or without
ribbon, will provide suitable garni-
ture.
To make this waist for woman of
medium size will require three and
one-half yards of material thirty
inches wide. TO make the skirt will
require four and three. quarter yards
of forty-four-inch or six and one-half
yards of thirty -six-inch material.

The Crown OF Chrfst's Career.

The supreme event in the earthly career
OF our Lord was His cruciaxion. But 1t did
not complete His work upon earth. In
real sense the resurrection was the crown
Of His career. 1t was necessary to supple
ment the crucifxion. OF course His death
bewidered and discouraged His fol-
lowers. The resurrection was necessary
to complete the revelation OF Christian
truth. Christ came to teach not merely
repentance, forgiveness. and salvation,
but also immortality. What need OF any
other lesson upon the subject. His victory
over the grave is the victory, as he declared,
Of every believer. Because He rose. we shall
rise too. Because He lives forever we shall
live forever, and but for His resurrection the
world would never have been convinced OF
the solemn and glorious truth ofimmortality
rs il now is. The resurrection was essential
to inspire the church, and In respect to not
merely its faith, but also its aggressive
ness. 1t was no longer conquered and
Respondent but victorious and hopeful
hody OF believers who encircled our
Loih. It was not yet as triumphant or
as Il :ured Of the prevalence Of the Gospel
among men as 1t afterwards became. 1t was
not without forewarnings Of the terrible
trials surely to be undergone, which, by
scattering the seed of truth throughout the
world, should stimulate instead of hinder
ing its advance. Yet it was church up
lifted and encouraged, assured that its faith
rested upon solid foundations, knowing as
1t had not known before in whom it had be-
lleved, and therefore inspired for faith, SER
vice and endurance as 1t could not have been
crown Of Christ's career. ..- Il

The Holy Spirit In History.

It Is we'll, sometimes to enlarge our range
OF observation and thought, and to study
human history as whole for 1t has many
lessons. No Christian can do this without
being impressed by tokens OF the presence
of the Holy Spirit. To study the develop
ment of civilization and the advance Of
knowledge and culture, Is to recognize q
divine plan and divine oversight. Historic
events, the significance Of which was not ap-
parent at the time, take their places In the
great scheme Of God for mankind,
and their true meaning and use be-
comes evident. Thus the persecu
tion OF the Christians In the early years OF
the church seemed to them cruel and
almost deadly calamity, but now 1t Is evil
dent that God used that fact and probably
ordained it. 80 that the seeds OF Christianity
might be scattered more widely throughout
the world and might have opportunity to
take root in fresh soil. Whatever events in
the career of mankind may be examined
will be found, W hen viewed in their larger re-
Iations, to have lad much to do with the de-
velopment Of humanity from lower to
higher state Of knowledge ard usefulness,
from a DINNER to a more clear and efficient
conception OF Christian truth and service.

Reformed In q Curious Way.

Reforms are wrought In many and curious
ways, but seldom In q stranger manner
than that In which certain drunkard was
,obered. ...
This man had wandered at midnight into
q low saloon. he gave his order, and then
leaned against the bar for. support.
A man standing near by took from one
pocket an addressed envelope, and from
another a stamp, which he moistened with
bis tongue. Instead OF adhering to the en-
velope, as the man intended, the stamp
slipped from his fingers and futtered to
:he floor.
The tippler saw it fall, and staggered for
ward to pick 1t up. Just as he was about
to grasp It, the stamp darted In ziezag
course toward the side wall, like scared
thing. Filled with astonishment, the
drinker drew back and intently watched
the bit Of paper, which, upon reaching the
wall, began to ascend.
Asit ascended, the t!ppler's face grew
more intent, his body more rigid. he saw
nothing but the mysterious, moving thing.
less drinking. he thought that the ami
mated stamp was warning.
At the top Of the wainscoting the stamp
stopped, squatted as II for moments rest
before ascending higher, and then made
dart toward the tippler's haggard face.
The trembling sot saw 1t stop, saw 1t hesl.
tate, and leap.
he was unquestionally doomed II he con-
tinued longer to drink to excess; the stamp
had been given life to warn him. So It
seemed to him. With pitiful yell OF fear
aud liberalization, he rushed from the
saloon. From that eventful night until he
died, In prosperous circumstances, recently,
the man never swallowed drop OF liquor.

God Leads by Stim ulating Desire.

GOQ Leads Dy Stlmulatlns OeSre.
Not always Is 1t evident that God through
His own Spirits giving His special guidance,
but as We look back over life and perceive
how often we have stood where divergent
pathways invited US, 1t becomes clear that
an influence from on high has guided Us
into that which proved itself to be the
right way, even though another, at that
time, may have been more inviting. Far
more often Gods Spirit leads us by en-
tightening our judgment and stimulating
us to choose that which he desires us to
choose. But. wherever or however mani
tested, the fact OF divine guidance gradually
becomes impressed upon every one who
thoroughly aims to obey his Creator. Let
this conviction become fixed In the heart,
and then to follow the divine leading
becomes comparatively simple. We then
learn to look for its tokens, to accept 1t
as authoritative. to yield to it In simple
trustfulness, to follow it loyalty and not
to worry about possible consequences,
conflding them calmly to the same divine
wisdom and oversight which has bidden
US face them if they come. Faith
needs to be stimulated by opposition
and exercise, rather than to be dwarfed by
too complete aud speedy enlightenment.
But he who accepts heartily the guidance OF
Gods Spirit, and who humbly and prayer
fully endeavors to pursue the path OF duty
which Is indicated, need have no fear OF be-
ing abandoned, betrayed, or even dtsap-
pointed at last.

have prettily rounded upper edges
which are faced with satin and re-
versed to form small revers, the plas-
tron vest being disclosed between the
free edges.
The back fits smoothly across the
shoulders and is cut away at the top
to disclose the round yoke facing that
is applied over the lining. Slight full
ness at the lower edge is drawn well
to the centre back at the waist line.
The standing collar raised behind
the ears with prettily rounded portions
that are joined to its upper edges,
stylishly completes the neck.
The fashionable sleeves have slight
puffs of the overlaid satin at the top,
the material being slashed in centre,
underfaced and rolled over in style
to match the fronts. This same effect
is carried out in the completion of the
wrists and a crush ribbon belt with
oxidized silver buckleis suitably worn
at the waist.
Separate waists or those that match
the skirt may be stylishly made up by
this model, which suggests a variety
of effective and striking combinations.

Turning Away from the Life Giver.

They are unwilling to become Christians
because to them the Christian life seems to
be a starved and stunted life. That Is the
mistake which young men and women are
making always. They turn their back on
Christ because they want to live. when al!
the time He wishes to fulfil their life. Life
Is the one thing we most OF all desire, and
the one thing which He longs to supply.
"'Tis life OF which our nerves are scant;
'Tis life, not death, for which we pant;

That the spring is on her way?

Who shall be the pioneer
OF the flower hosts OF the year?

Wished the honor. Who dlsposes2
He knew best their dues and powers.
And He whispered in the night
To the little snewdrops white!
We're they fragile, wee. weak things?
Nay, not they! Obedience brings

With new, brave life, and rose

previous to her Illness a. a teacher In

In Which her mother has long been q be.

hallucination that she was called upon by
the Divine powers to kill and sacrifice two
or three children for the benedt and saliva

The condition of Mrs. ellison was due to
worry about Christian Science. Her
hnllucination was that her husband was

this belief she exhibited to the jury small
