SHORT SERMONS.

Our Father" tells of the brother
hood of man. Truth has nothing to
fear from error, nature cannot disagree
with its God.-Rev w. H. Tubb, Con-
gregationalist, San Francisco, Cal.
Capital is that part of wealth put
into operation to increase the ability
of nation or community. Capital is
the laborer's friend-Rev. R. S. ].
Burke, r. c., Holyoke, Mass.
When God sends prayer into the
heart he has already prepared the an
swer. We are taught the Importance
OF faith, prayer and patience Rev.
Robert Graham, Presbyterian, Phila-
delphia, Pa.
What society wants to-day is not
charity, but justice-justice between
man and man. Give man justice and
there will be practically nobody to
take care of.-Rev. George C. Lorimer,
Baptist, Boston, Mass.
oh, the injustice of that sentence of
Dreyfus! l pity the man or the nation
that allows prejudice to enter the heart
against Gods chosen eople.-Dwight
L. Moody, Evangelist, Mortified, Mass.
The verdict was not against the man
but against a race. 1t was a triumph
Of. race prejudice. The judges made up
their minds beforehand that the pris-
oner was guilty.-Rabbi Falk Vida
var, Hebrew, New York.
The Dreyfus trial is persecution in
stead of prosecution. A noted French
man has said: Better that an limo
cent man go to prison and death than
that the nation REV. Cortland
Myers, Baptist, Brooklyn, N. Y.
never held nor taught that physical
death was the end of a wicked soul.
Death is simply changing the condi-
tions under which mans life is lived
1t is not flood of regeneration.-Rev
DR.. p. H. Ward. Episcopalian, Pitts
burg, Pa.
Prayer with study, prayer with in
vestigation is the rule of the growth of
the missionary spirit. Prayer to be of
value must be intelligent, must be Of
fered for an intelligent object known
to be worthy.-Rev. j. l.. Barton, Con-
gregationalist, Bangor, Me.
A travesty on justice and an outrage
on humanity was perpetrated at
Rennes. But God is just; vengeance is
His. He will repay, and some day be-
tween the millstones of his wrath He
will grind France to pieces.-Rev.
Madison c. Peters. Independent. New
York.

The Way.
The way was dark; / bent beneath my
load
My load of grief. too great for me to
bear.
Behind me lay my joy; this rugged
Led me knew not. cared not, where.
Till one came close and whispered in
my ear:
"A gate lies yonder. hidden from thy
sight;
Toward it thou journeyest; know. II
far or near,
Beyond that portal lies thy hearts
delight.
do soldiers murmur who go marching
home,
Though desert. plain and mountain
must be passed?
Are travellers saddened as they distant
roam,
Knowing dear ones will welcome
them at last?
Thou art a soldier. Conquer as thou
goesti
Thou art pilgrim. Toll thou on
unshodl
The goal lies yonder. where thy Savior
showest-
There waits thy treasure, there thy
home and God"

Double-decked turrets are to be tried
in some of the new ships nov building
for the American navy and experts
claim that they will prove failures on
account of the complicated mechanism.
The talk of complicated mechanism
still further emphasizes the passing of
the old days-the time of mast and
sail. Forty years ago the man most
valuable on a warship, aside from his
fighting qualities, was the man who
could go up a rope and trim a sail.
Nowadays the valuable man is the sea-
dog who can not only fight, but operate
several hundred cogs and screws, be-
sides giving practical exhibitions Of
ability as practiced electrician.

ONE CASE in A THOUSAND.
How He Got His First start In the
VVn~Id

1 AAOn AAS &OA HIS aAht 0taEt An tnO
World.
There is a gentleman in this city
who is fond of telling the story of how
he got his first start in the world, says
the st. Louis Globe-Demoerat Before
| was married." he said, Il received a
pretty fair salary, spending every cent
OF 1t as / went along. Then fell in
love, but, try as / would, l could not
see how two could manage on what had
scarcely been enough for me. We
talked it over, she and /, and consid-
cred the question of ways and means.
She thought we could manage with my
salary, and we were both SO desperate
ly in love with one another that we
were brave to the point of rashness,
and were married. did not care to
assume the responsibility of making
that salary go around, and so questions
of finance were left to my wife. We
lived modestly, but very comfortably,
and gradually added pretty things to
the little stock of furniture we had be-
gun with, until at the end Of five years
we had all we had space for. or
course, my salary had increased IN that
time, but so had the family, and there
were hundreds of demands for which
we had made no allowance when we
discussed the subject before marriage.
One day, in the course of the days
work, / made the discovery that, il
had $1,000 to use Immediately I could
make several thousands before the
week was out. That night / went
home dispirited and discouraged. !
began to think of the dogs life was
leading, living from day to day with
no prospect of anything better as far
as / could see, and by the time / had
reached home l was cross and tacit-
turn, but good dinner put me in a
better humor, and as we sat together
in the dining room after the children
had gone to ed / told the dear woman
about the fortune that We had missed
because l did not have paltry $1,000.
How soon will you need it?' she asked,
when | had finished the story. l told
her that the money would have to be
forthcoming within the next three
days, and asked her il she did not wish
she had fairy god-mother to supply
the want. I will have it in three days.
she replied, confidently, and l took the
answer as a joke and thought little
more about it, but imagine my surprise
on the third day when she handed me
a check for the amount. There had
not been year since we were married
that she did not save at least couple
of hundred dollars, and she had kept
her own counsel about it, too, lending
1t in small sums to the best advantage.
A thousand dollars may not seem much
to you, but it was mighty large sum
to me in those days. l made the in
vestment and made several thousand,
and the first thing did was to pay her
back what she had lent me. The little
bit of capital then had was all need
ed to make a start with, and from it
has come all the money l have since
been able to make"

The Care OF Table Linen.

The Care of Table Linen.
1t is not enough to have fine table
linen; it must be well looked after il
we want to keep it at its best. You
may have a delightful meal to serve,
plenty Of pretty china, glass and sill
yer, but if your tablecloth is not snowy
white and just the right stiffness your
table will be spoiled in appearance. Ex-
anime the table linen once week and
darn the smallest break. The secret of
this homely art lies in running the
thread so far on each side of the break
that it does not Immediately fray and
pull out the fabric. A tiny hole is cas-
lily darned, while a patch is very I'M
slightly and ruins nice tablecloth. AN
under cover of canton flannel makes
the tablecloth look better, as it throws
out the pattern of the damask, and it
also prevents the table from wearing
the linen. Tray cloths should be used
under all the dishes, the contents of
which are liable to be spilled. These
cloths save the tablecloth wonderfully
and are easily washed when they be-
come soiled. When small cloths and
napkins are washed and dried and
ready to be ironed, dip them in boiling
water and wiring out between dry
cloths. Then iron rapidly with a hot
fiatiron and they will be glossy and
stiff. The method of laundering counts
for much in the care OF linen, and all
spots and stains must be removed be-
fore it is put in the wash. If fruit or
coffee stains are found upon the cloth,
place the linen over large bowl and
pour through it boiling water from the
tea kettle Kerosene will take iron
dust and old fruit stains from the cloth
without injuring the fabric. Wash the
soiled spots in the oil before it is put
into hot water. or it will do no good
Grass stains may be removed by wash
ing with alcohol. For chocolate stains
use cold water, then boiling water from
the tea kettle Table linen should be
washed by itself to obtain the very best
results After all the stains. have been
removed, prepare suds of warm water
and let the linen remain in it fifteen
minutes before rubbing, then rub the
fabric between the hands in the suds.
If any difficulty is experienced it will
be better to boil the article rather than
rub on the board, as this wears the
fabric. Rinse through two or three
waters and add little boiled starch to
the second water if any stiffening is
desired. The dainty woman who wishes
to keep her table linen up to the stand
ard must be able to direct the laun-
dress if she does not do the work her
self. for a housekeeper is judged great
IN by the appearance of her table linen.

The late Col. Robert G. Ingersoll, the
famous skeptic, told many stories of
experiences which grew out Of the
common knowledge Of his skepticism.
One of these related to a visit which
he once made to Rev. Phillips Brooks,
before Doctor Brooks became bishop.
Calling on Doctor Brooks he was re-
fused admission because, as the serv-
ant said, it was sermon day." and
some of Doctor Brooks own home peo-
pie had already been denied admission.
But Doctor Brooks learned that Inger-
soil was at the door, and sent out
word that he should come in. After
the interview. and as Col Ingersoll
was about to leave, he said Doctor
Brooks, your man told me that you
had denied yourself to some of your
home people this morning. Now. how
is it that you have admitted me, a
stranger?' "Oh, that's quite easy,
said Doctor Brooks, laughing. They
are my church-members, and | shall
see them again. here or in heaven, but
isn't it right for me to consider your
belief, and that l shall probably never
meet you again?"

The first thing done toward building
the great dam across the Nile at AS
euan has been the erection and equip
ment OF extensive hospitals and dis
pensaries, for caring for the health OF
the army of laborers. A generation or
two ago such a thing was unheard of,
while in ancient times the disregard OF
human life was such that the bones OF
those who persisted from disease or
fatigue in building the pyramids would
nave made greater heaps than the py-
Tamids themselves. There are not
many more impressive measures OF the
progress made by modern civilization
than such care for the welfare of hui

ception, relieved by some touch OF
color. and are made much more beeom-

how often color can be made becom-

According to Colonel Wright's stud
les of the census, 1.-The rich are grow
ing Sicher; many more people than
formerly are growing rich; and
the poor are growing better
off. Statistics prove that while
the proportion of persons engaged in
unskilled and poorly paid labor re-
mains nearly stationary, the proper
tion employed in skilled and semi-pro-
fessional pursuits, which bring higher
wages, steadily advances. He illus
trates from Boston the improved dis
tribution OF wealth. In that city the
rich men of 1924 were relatively richer
than now. Then nine large taxpayers
owned eight per cent of the property;
now the nine largest own less than
four per cent. In lS45 the three hun
bred and thirty-three richest men own
ed a larger proportion than twelve
hundred of the richest citizens Of to-
day. This is good as far as it goes,
and we can stand some more of 1t.

Love shown In Refusals.

No father who loves his child will
give it everything it asks for. Not
even if the child begs and weeps for
the desire of its heart, will true
father give it what he knows to be for
its injury. Refusing child's wrong
request is one of the evidences Of a
fathers love. God loves his children
more than any earthly father loves
his. Because this is so, God will not
answer every earnest prayer of his
longing child. Until child of God
knows better than God does what Is
for his true welfare, he ought to be
glad that his more importunate pray
ers are not always answered. Let us
thank God that he will not answer our
prayers unless he sees that they are
for our good.
