GODS MESSAGE TO MAN.
PREGNANT THOUGHTS FROM THE
WORLDS GREATEST PROPHETS

Poem: Inasrnuch-A Brief, Yet Compre-
hensive, and Satisfying Statement In
Regard to the Divinity and Resurrec-
tton Of christ-The Best Possible Proof
Inc child who is holding the baby
Grows pallid and faint with the heat,
And droops like flower as the sunshine
Beats down on the close, narrow street.
With steps that are weary and tagging
She tolls up the tenement stair,
Where poverty's pitiful children
Are dying for want Of fresh air.
When near-oh, 80 near!-all around them
The health giving breezes blow free,
Afresh from the slope of the mountains
Or sweet with the breath of the sea-
The daisies and buttercups nod,
And under the trees of the orchard
The shadows lie cool on the sod!
What thought do we take from our pleas
ure
To brighten the comfortless way
OF the poor "little mother" who carries
The baby all through the long day?
On their little faces is resting
The shadow of want and of care,
Can we turn from these children of sorrow
Entreating our blessings to share?
Enriched by the gifts of the Master
Not ours are the silver and gold,
He giveth His poor to our keeping
As stewards His bounty we hold.
When He taketh account of His servants
God grant that our greeting may be:
"Inasmuch as to these ye have done it
Ye have ministered also to Mel"

Some Good in All.

There is germ of good in all. The real
Divine essence has been breathed into all,
and every human soulis spark from the
Divine Sun, the Light of Life, and as this
is true, this one bit of divinity certainly
does remain good. There is always .de.
sire in the heart really to do right. I
doubt if there is person so degraded, so
dulled and stupehed to the call of con.
science who does not at times really want
to be good and do right, but the environ
ments of life, the long turning aside from
right ways, the almost impossible return
to paths Of rectitude and duty, seem to
bar the way, and instead of living up to
this pleading call of the heart, the good
is overcome by evil, perhaps just because
no one would believe with an uplifting
faith in this good desire, because there was
no one to look for the good, and once see
inc it. loving the bit of the Divine and
overlooking all the filthy garment savor-
ing of the flesh. 1t is very solemn
thing, and we shall not be held guiltless
if we stife, through our carelessness, or
our lack of loving faith, the reaching up.
ward of even the humblest and most de.
graded fellow mortal. We must love all
human kind, we must look for the good,
believe in it and tend carefully and pray
erfuiiy the feeble germ of right, which iss
really Righteousness. that springs eternal
in every human breast.-Rose Seelye-

ton model shown in the double column
drawing Is made in that style, but Is
vastly improved and added to by the
circular bertha that outlines the yoke.
The original is made Of cashmere, in
q deep garnet with dots Of black, and
ribbon and worn with girdle of wider
velvet; but henrietta, albatross, French
and Scotch fannels, and the still SIM
pier fannelettes are all suitable.
The model is made over a fitted
lining which extends to the waist and
onto which the yoke portions are
faced; but when preferred, the yoke
only can be used and the wrapper
allowed to fall from it's edge. The
lining is fitted with single darts and
includes under-arm cores, which rem
der it comfortably snug, and curves
in to the figure. The wrapper consists
of fronts, back and under-arm cores,
and is gathered at the upper edge,
where it is joined to the yoke. The
sleeves are in bishop style. with be-
coming frills at the hands, and the
neck is finished with deep turnover
collar. The bertha, which is optional,
is circular and takes graceful. undulat-
ing folds. The lower edge of the skirt
is trimmed with a straight gathered
founce nine inches deep, but the trim
ming may be varied or the lower edge
simply hemmed.
To cut this wrapper. without founce,
for a woman of medium size, nine and
one-half yards Of material twenty
seven inches wide, eight yards thirty

Daneera of Alcoholism.

It is needless to enter into details as to
the consequences entailed by overlndui'
cence in the use of alcohol Most of uss
are familiar with cases of ruined lives and
wretched homes as the result OF the fatal
habit, and in these days of high-pressure
living it is becoming more and more COM
mon: Mental worry, overwork, lll-healtn,
want of sufficient nourishment and cloth
inc tend to swell the number Of chronic
alcoholists, and the habit so easily. ac-
ouired is extremely difficult to rellnqulsh.
The real danger to the race, however,
lies in the fact that the great majority OF
inebriates need no incentiyeSto acquire the
and and i is to this cause Chiefly that we
must ascribe the increase in the number OF
deaths from chronic alcoholism during the
last twenty-three years. A reference TO
the table of statistics shows that IN 1870
twenty,seven persons in l,000,O 600 died as
the result of chronic alcoholism; IN 1913
these figures had more than doubled them
selves the number then being returned as
sixty-five per l,0O0,0O0 Of population: 49,.
The following quotations point to the
conclusions arrived at by some OF the
