THE PULPIT AND THE PEW.

Minister Makes the Congregation and
tho Congregation the Minister.
Between a minister and his congre-
cation ..iere is an action and reaction
so that the minister makes the con-
gregation and the congregation the
minister, says Ian MacLaren in the
Ladies' Home Journal. When one
speaks of a minister's service to his
people one is not thinking Of pew
rents and offertoriss and statistics and
crowds; nor of scaools and guilds and
classes and lectures. The master
achievement of the minister is to form
character and to make men. The chief
question, therefore, to consider about
a minister's work is: What kind Of
men has he made?
And one, at least, of the most deci-
sive questions by which the members
OF congregation can be judged Isl:
What have they made of their minis
ter? By that one does not mean what
salary they may give him, nor how
agreeable they may be to him, but how
far he has become a man and risen
to his height in the atmosphere of his
congregation. Some congregations
have ruined ministers by harassing
them till they lost heart and self-con-
troll and became peevish and ill-tem-
pered. Some congregations, again
have ruined ministers by so hurnoring
and petting them that they could en-
dure no contradiction and became
childish. That congregation has done
Its duty most effectively which has ere.
ated an atmosphere so genial, and yet
so bracing, that every good in its min.
lister has been fostered and everything
petty killed.

low the American public to know any
thing about this campaign that will
agitate or excite it. So long as l am

United States will know only such
facts as l deem advisable to allow to be

thing about this campaign contrary to

any public agitation about this cam
paign If l can prevent it."
And General Otis has always claimed.
from the beginning of this abomina-
BILE business, that he was acting strict
ly under orders from Washington, and
he no doubt told the truth.
The president of the United
States has taken it upon him
self to declare and carry on an IL
legal war-illegal by his own admins
Electromagnetic people who were our
friends and allies, and during this war
he has issued orders and exercised au-
thority that no ruler on earth would
think of assuming to himself, except
possibly the czar of Russia or the shah
of Persia. And the president of the
United States is a servant of the peo-
Pile! No wonder he courts secrecy re-
garding his benevolent assimilation"
in the east. But what have the Amer
lean people to say about it?

No allowances are made for gloves
by the dressmakers. The newest
sleeves cover the knuckles and are
caught round the thumb just like old
world mittens. With these sleeves a
four-button glove is out of the ques-
tion and we shall have to revert to
the one-button glove of the sixties.
At the wrists the new sleeves are so
tight that even the shortest glove
would be in the way, yet it is not at
all the thing to wear long gloves out
side the sleeves. The solution of the
problem is Hibernian, to say the least.
Wear short sleeves and long gloves,
rucked to the elbow.

Reward of n willing Mother.

A young student at one of the large
art institutions decided this winter to
try for prize, He was under twenty,
and his competitors were all older
than he. He wrote his mother about
it, begging her to come and pose for
him, saying that he knew he could
win if only she were his subject. She
had large family at home to look
after, and small boy hardly two
mouths old. Moreover, the spring
had come, never an easy time for a
mother to break away, pick up small
baby, and establish herself alone in q
distant town, merely to sit as a model
for son. Most women would have
hesitated, as hoped-for prizes being
uncertain quantities., particularly for
boys still in their teens, and present
home duties being, according to all
rules of logic, paramount. But this
mother did not hesitate. Her son had
asked her to come, and so proved q
rare loyalty. That was enough for
her. At great inconvenience to her.
self she went, though cheerfully, and
the picture was painted. Now the
papers announce that the young boy
painter has won the prizcl This will
send him for two-years' course of
study in Paris.
1t is like some old story of the mas
ters, and certainly few sweeter stories
of painters and their mothers have

The methods of manufacture in the
popular Mexican drawn lace work are
directly opposed to those of most
lace makers. Instead of weaving the
eossamer fabric from single threads
stitches are picked out or a solid
piece of the finest linen cloth, leaving
the remainder in some artistic design.
This process is an extremely trying
one, but the results are exquisite.
Japanese linen is the fabric gener-
ally employed in this character of
work. 1t is as fine as silk, and
adapted to the most delicate patterns.
Some of the designs are so elaborate
and perfectly executed as to be
scarcely distinguishable from the real
Battenberg make.
All sorts of conventional patterns
are reproduced from the rarest and
most costly specimens, although work
of this high standard is not so general
in demand as the art emhroideries,
including doilies, centr es, tray cloths
and table covers.

The makers of fashions are trying
to introduce n new idea, suggested
doubtless by the prevailing mode of
long tunics, loose in front. The new
fashion is to induce one to wear GER
tain frocks without corsets. The
frock is to have its own corset-in
other words, it is to be stiffened so as
to make the use of stays superhuous.
The stiffening is to be done so as to
make the lines of the back curve
gracefully, leaving the line of the
front long and supple without fitting
closely. Whether the patrons of the
"artists" who have evolved this idea
will consent to adopt it remains to be
seen. But it is certainly original.

Edward Box, replying to a corre-
spondent asking who will be the most
widely beloved woman of the nine
teenth century, considers Martha
Washington as having very firm
place in the affections of the people.
Naturally" he says, "the conspicu-
GUS position accorded the wife of O
President of the United States gives
rare opportunities for a woman to at
tract and hold the love of nation,
and in this respect Mrs. Mckinley
has been singularly successful. But,
after all, woman's qualities as a
woman must remain the strongest
forces to her claims of respect and
affection. 1t is not alone because
Dolly Madison was the wife of James
Madison that Americans hold her
memory in tender regard as woman
of unexampled heroism. Lucy Webb
Hayes won the respect and love of
thousands of people on grounds other
than by right of her title as the wife
OF the President.
sit is not because Frances Folsom
Cleveland is the wife of an ex-Prcsi-
dent OF the United States that she
holds so large place in the affections
Of the American people. OF the many
daughters of the Presidents only one
is remembered-Nellie Grant; and

the country than is her mother.

From the Portland Oregonian: The
Mckinley administration has made
most disgraceful appointments to Of
fee at the behest of unscrupulous poll
ticians. 1t has betrayed the civil SER
vice to the spoilsmen, paralyzed the
organization of the army, violated its
pledges as to currency reform, humil-
lated its most efficient servants and
discredited American intelligence and
valor in the eyes of the civilized world.
In time for courage it has quailed. In
time for decision it has hesitated. In
time for action 1t has delayed. In
time for honest dealing it has falter-
ed and equivocated. Its policy has
been to drift; its aim has been to pla-
cate everybody, however unworthy,
and cater to everything, however mis-
chievous; its course has been to sac
rifice any and every vital interest OF
the nation on the altar of partisan and
personal politics.

The Needlework Cornerstone.

There was laid in London recently
the cornerstone of building which
has many claims to interest American
as well as English women, firstly, be-
cause the building of which the corner.
stone is the forerunner will be de-
voted to the development of artistic
needlework among INDECENT gentle.
women, and secondly, because Queen
Victoria's third daughter, the Princess
Christian, is President of the Royal
School of Art Needlework. which is to
be housed in the building when it is
completed. Princess Christian has
been President of the society since it's
inception and has raised $70,0 to.
ward the fund for its erection.
The school was founded in 1872,
and is the pioneer in work of this
kind. The object aimed at was the
two fold one of restoring the nearly
lost art of ornamental needIework to
its proper place among the decorative
arts, and at the same time providing
remunerative employment for edu.
Gated women who were dependent on
their own exertions for living.
The school has gone from success
to success, though housed in all sorts
of uncomfortable quarters, hired from
time to time as it outgrew them, and
now that suitable edifce is at last in
sight plans are being made for still
greater usefulness.
The school has become an authority
in affairs of the needle and applica.
tions for hints on art needlework
come to it from all parts of the world.
Its influence on this line of work in
America was first felt after the Cen.
tennial Exposition at Philadelphia.
where many artistic specimens of en-
broidery were shown, and it has since
furnished instructors for decorative
art societies in New York, Boston,
Philadelphia, San Francisco and
Chicago. Women trained at this
royal school have also gone to Aus.
tralia, Africa, India, South America
and other countries, and have spread
their knowledge of the art they had
acquired, many of them securing very
lucrative positions. The number of
private pupils taught by the school
and its branches number nearly
$4,000.
