WRONG.
"For my sake" press with steadfast pa
thence onward,
Although the race be hard, the battle
long;
Within my fathers house are many
mansions;
There thou shalt rest and join the
victor's song.
And if in coming days the world revile
If "for my sake" thou suffer pain and
loss,
Bear on, faint heart: thy master went
before thee;
They onIy wear his crown who share
his cross. -Churchman.

The Measure OF Manhood.
The measure of manhood is the
degree of skill attained in the art of
carrying oneself s. as to pour forth
upon men all the inspirations of love
and hope, and to evoke good even
from the meanest and wIckedest of
mankind. Passing through life, the
soul is to be happiness producer
and a Joy distributor. Without con-
scious thought, the viOlets pour forth
perfume; without yOlition, the mag
net pulls the iron filings; with no
purpose, the candle pushes its beam
of light into darkness and such is to
be the weight of goodness in each
man, that its mere presence will be
felt. For the soul carries power to
bless or blight; it can lift up its fac
ulties for shifting, as the enemy lifts
the hammer above the fragile vase
or delicate marble; through speech,
man can fill all the sky with storms,
or he can sweep all clouds from the
hOrisOn. The soul can take all the
sting out of mans anger, or it can
stir up wrath; it can allay strife or
whet the keen edge of hatred. The
thermometer is not so sensitive to
heat, the barometer to weight, the
photographers plate to light, as is
the soul to the ten thousand inf1u-
ences of its fellow men.
God be thanked for great thong hts
but, a thousand times more, God be
praised for good thoughts! They are
full of the fires of enthusiasm. They
are rudders that guide us heaven.
ward. Thew are seeds for great
harvest of joy. They fulfill the tale
of the fairies who, in the night, built
palaces, laid out streets and lined
them with homes, and surrounded
the city with walls. For every
thought is builder, every purpose d
mansion, and every affection car,

Fashions for Children.
Children under ten years of age
should not wear shirt-waists anC
separate skirts. The shops are filleC
with ready-made skirts in linen and
pique that are very good cut
while there are as many ditferen
varieties of shirt-waiSts to choose
from as for people of larger growth
There is this little difference, how
ever, that the children's shirt waist,
cost more than those made for olde
people; consequently it is we'll to b,
careful in making a choice. Tn
plain linen costs more than tn
crash, and there is a quality o
crash now that is very good. I

has more stiffness than has tn
plain linen. These skirts are gener
ally made in the plain gored style
but there are some good shapes tina
have the attached fiounce, and 9th
ers that have the plain from
breadth, and the fiounce from tn
sides with three rows of white brai
where the joining is. Childre
wear the white shirt-waists of cam
brio or pique with these skirts, a

they look better aud more childis

the little fancy checks and stripes
Great care should be taken in choo,
ing shirt-waists for children tina
the patterns are not the same q
those worn by women. Those in tn
light dainty colOrs should always b
selected. There are good man
designs in pink and blue that al
very good indeed; yellow, brown
and red are rather old. The style G
these waists is as simple as pOssib
"a yoke in the back, with fulness
the front, gathered in at the SHOULD
ers, small cuffs, and not much flu
ness in the sleeves.
The prettiest way to finish TIL
neck aud belt is with the ribbon pl
twice around the neck and tied
the throat in soft bow and with
ribbon belt around the waist. Lac
ties and collars are quite inappropr
ate for children; they look very BAT
ly, and, as a rule, are unbecOmin
Silk shirt-waists with linen or piqU
skirts are very bad style for lit
children; they are altogether too oil
The fashion of wearing separa
skirts and shirt-waists has int
fered materially with the number
ginghams and eambrics former
deemed necessary for the SUNNI
outfit. 1t is very useful fashion, b
scarcely so pretty as the dainty lit
frocks used to be. Those that a
