A Church rn.Ide nn,rn.

''At Chaplain, in England. there Is a
bell which bears an Inscription. God
save the Church. But through some
blunder the word Church Is upside
down. The blundcr Is, unfortunately,
suggestive as to tue real state of af-
fairs In many churches. But the Lord
Is lover of order, and the thing to
do is not alone to pray. God save the
church, but also TO entreat that God
will save 1t froln being upside down."
Perhaps the reader has seen some
such churches--he may belong to one
for that matter. An upside down"
church may be described as follows.
II has a membership that belongs to
business. pleasure and the like rather
than to the Lord. 1t has lot Of empty
seats, lot of unpaid dues on its rec
ord books, lot of members fighting
with each other lot of societies for
the running Of entertainments and for
the prevention of duty to the church.
1t has Sunday school that belongs to
some individual rather than to the con-
gregation. Il church council that looks
to the pastor for the transaction of it's
business and an organist aud choir
that are interested more In perform
ances than in worship. Is your church
one Of that k,nd?--New York Observer.

ToPIo.-The sin OF liquor selling. How end 1t!
-Hab. H. l.l6. Quarterly Temperance meeting)
Habakkuk was one of the most
graphic and pointed writer's among the
Hebrew prophets. He incidentally In
this chapter describes the enormity OF
what we may call liquor selling today
by using 1t Iguratively to describe the
havoc and devastation caused by the
triumphant and conquering Chaldeans.
The figure was pointed In his day. but
today 1t may be reversed. The devas-
tation Of the Chaldeans may illustrate
to us the enormlty and cruelness OF
the liquor traffic, only that the latter
Is thousandfold worse, and the woe
of God pronounced upon the Chaldeans
may be looked upon as Gods woe upon
those that give their neighbOrs strong
drink and put the bottle to their lips.
The saloon Is the most dangerous
factor in American national life today.
1t Is often an outlaw and the harborer
of outlaws. 1t Is lawbreaker and an
educator of lawbreakers. 1t ruins
homes. hearts. lives and souls by SELL
ing to man that which robs him OF rea-
son and Judgment.
How is this traffic to be ended? No
one but God knows. When we face
this gigantic evil, we feel like crying
out. "How long, o Lord, how long"
Two possible ways Of ending liquor
selling suggest themselves:
/. The manufacture and sale Of all
Intoxicating liquors rs n beverage
could be prohibited by law and the
law enforced This would soon end
liquor selling, Men could not sell
what they did not have. Prohibition
will prohibit II those who execute the
laws are faithful to their vows. II
has never had n fair trial. but wher,
ever tried has been more Of success
than most people imagine. Prohlbi
tion has come the nearest of any Other
solution offered to stop liquor selling
and IL II were n law In all our states
would reduce liquor making and selllns
to n minimum. License Is failure
1t neither reduces the amount mad,
nor the amount sold, hut simply In
creasos the revenues of the few wht
secure licenses.
2. Men may be so educated tina
there will be no demand or sale for In
toxicatlng drinks. This will also stoI
liquor selling. DO away with l!quo
buyers. and there will soon be NJ
liquor sellers. This Is the distinctly,

ly for d!mity suits. but II Is very novel.
Some Of the trimmings for handsome
evening dresses have braid lace and
spangles all combined. The part in
tended to mark the design Is of braid.
To this Is sewed the lace. Black gull
pure Is oftenest seen, and upon this are
sewed the spangles, sometimes large
and sometimes small and sometimes
black and other times mixed. One
style of fringe has n heading Of three
rows of Jet beads, and to that hung the
fringe two inches deep. This was COM
posed Of black and green spangles. al
ternating with beads strung between.
It made very effective trimming.
There are some fringes entirely Of
small gilt beads and others Of cut steel.
These are close, but not so deep as the
others.
The luxeuil laces bid fair to grow in
favor as they do In beauty. The nets
and laces are so closely Incorporated
making these that 1t looks like "con-
tinuous performance"
There are some pretty soft nets with
iuIc aUDilth ONSi anu thtsN ~
edged with delicate silk fringe. Very
narrow black velvet ribbon is sewed to
each edge with excellent effect. Some
of the manufactured trimmings are
marvcls of delicate work. have n
sample before me now just long enough
to show the design. 1t Is done on fine
white net. One part of the design ia

in iridcsccnt colors. each side edged
with line of very narrow beads.
Looped through this Is circle of pearl
beads. with a frilI of narrow white
lace around 1t. and where the two links
loop is quite little bunch of spangles
sewed OH as closely as they can be.

neck Of evening dresses or the edge of
tunic or heading for dounce. II is
bright graceful and delicate.
II seems to me that there are more
of the heavy Plauen laces In all overs,
set pieces and borderlngs than ever,
Many entire dresses are made of this
lined with some contrasting color.
There are also many appliques and cut
work designs In taffetas and In fine
cloth. scroll pattern and elaborately
planned arabesques. Some of the taf'
fetas have lines of spangles all along
oil cut edges, This makes 1t necessary
to have larger spaces, There is an
other plan, and that Is TO have thlr

A great deal Of regret was felt in the
diocese Of Winchester at the sale to an
American firm Of Sir Benjamin Vests

to many inquiries and criticisms. said

Christian Endeavor day.)
Christian Endenvor Is now 10 years
OF age. 1t has stood the test of almost
a quarter Of century and Is still
strong and powerful and possesses the
characteristics of things that endure.
According to the lessons Of the topical
reference, Christ's closing words In
the sermon on the mount, the things
that endure possess several character
istics: l. They must be divinely inspir-
ed, being 1.-The will of the Father" 2.
They must be founded upon divine
principles. upon the rock Christ Jesus.
8. Their purpose must be divine. They
must be done unto Christ.
Nineteen years of Christian Endeav-
or have proved that It possesses these
characteristics of endurance.
l. Christian Endcavor was divinely
inspired. II Is the will Of the Father.
The providential factor In Christian
Endeavor was long emphasized. and 1t
should not be forgotten today. Its
f"Piu bio"'h' ~" "ohueiiui auhput-
bility to all denominations and to all

The skirt Is plain. but there is slash

Endeavor. The church is not po-
litical machine, but school for educa-
tion and training. The task seems
hopeless. but "all things are possible
with God" Liquor selling will never
cease until liquor drinking ceases or
until the public conscience is so arous-
ed against this gigantic curse and evil
that its determination shall be de-
manded. Public sentiment makes laws
and enforces laws. In this campaign
the church should take the lead. 1t
should teach the young the enormity
of the drink evil. 1t should earnestly
strive by the power of the gospel to re-
claim the los: and by every means
should try to arouse the sleeping con.
sciences of men against this evil aud
create such strong public sentiment
against 1t that the saloon will have
to go.

YESTERDAY, JUNE Fl.
Longest of the Year-Day of the Sum
mer SolStice

Longest of the Year-Day of the Sum
mer Solstice.
Yesterday, June q, was the day of
the summer solstice, when the sun ap-
parently pauses long enough in his
course to make this the longest stretch
of daylight in the year. The scientific
explanation is this: The inclination of
the earth's equator to, the ecliptic or
plane of its annual motion about the
sun is the cause that the latter is dur
ing half the year on the northern polar
side of the equator, the other half on
the southern, causing the vicissitures of
summer and winter TO the respective
hemisphere. The distance from the
sun north and south of the equator is
thus constantly varying. The two
points at which this apparent northern
or southern motion ceases Cor at which
its progressive increase of declnation
appears to be arrested) are the sum
mer and winter solStices. At these per-
iods the day is the longest or shortest
according as the earth is In the summer
