Turnovers of cuffs to math, and belt
stitched with Corticelli silk and crossed
at the back in oddly-shaped positions,
complete this very dainty bodice.
The seperate waist has by no means
met with the relegation to the back
ground prophesied for it. By gradu-
al evolution from an article of severe
lines to one of artistic shaping, it has
established itself as necessity, and is
not only constructed in fancy silk, all
over laces, and thin woolens, but is also
made in materials to match the skirt
for general street wear. The shirt
waist suits in more, tafieta and velvet
are an embodiment of both style and
art. Dark blue, black, and the neutral
shades in brown, are the preferred col
ors for these costumes.

common or uncommon hath at any
time entered into my mouth. But the
voice answered me again from heaven,
What God hath cleansed that call not
thou common, and this was done three
times; and all were drawn up again in
to heaven. So we see that this Holy
Ghost still talks, and that God still
sends his visions and dreams to teach
men their duty. Nothing less than
this vision with all these unclean
things, and the voice of God saying to
Peter, What l have cleansed call thou
not common or unclean, would ever
have gotten Peter to break the Jewish
law and take the Gospel to the Gentiles.
And he says the spirit bade him go,
nothing doubling ACTS xi:2 to H.
Peter not only learned that God had
cleansed Cornelius and his household,
and that he was ready for the promised
comforter, but he learned that God had
sent vision to him in the form of q
man in bright clothing to tell him what
to do. Now we see that these things
were not confined to the apostles or
Jews, but Peter says he perceived that
God was no respecter of persons, but in
every nation he that feareth God and
worketh righteousness is accepted of
Him. All, my people, the world or
people who are living in sin wants to
show this power, these prophesies,
these visions and these dreams clear
back onto the apostles only, when they
are for you and / and every man that
will fear God and work righteousness
Acts x:35.) And oh, my dear people,
pardon me when l tell you had it not
been for very mysterious vision that
God sent to me soon after received
the baptism of the Holy Ghost not'ev
this prelude to the little book would
have been written. The vision was Sc
unexpected and frightful thatI thought
it meant death to me, and so told my
son and dear brother who were in the
room with me, as they, too, will testify.
But my brother, who was older in the
experience than ], said to me, "Don't
be frightened, my brother, as this is
only the fulfilling of the prophecy o.
Joel: And it shall come to pass in the
the last days saith God, l will pour ouI
of my spirit upon all flesh, and youl
sons and your daughters shall prophe
sy, and your young men shall see vi
sions and your old men dream dreams.
But this did not satisfy me and turn
ed over on my back to await the dealt
angel while the cold perspiration ooeeC
out through my every pore. But di'
not die natural death, as you see, bu
died to sin.

exercises were begun on Saturday at 10
a. M, when John S. Mathes, of Jones
boro delivered an address on the his
tory of Salem church, This was follow
ed in the afternoon by an address by
DIR. A. S. N. Dobson, who discussed
tue influence Of Salem church upon the
world. Sslem's future was discussed
by Rev. J. N. Walton, formerly OF

children, because Jesus told his Father
in his last prayer before he was crucifi-
ed that they were not of the world even
as he was not of the world (see st. John
xyii:16) Peter breaches to them the
necessity of having an apostle to fill
the place of Judas, who had betrayed
his Saviour. And they appointed two
men, Justus and Matthias, and they
prayed aud said, Thou, Lord, which
knowest the hearts of all men, show
whether of these two thou has chosen,
that he may take part of this ministry
and apostleship, from which Judas by
transgression fell, that he might go to
his own place. And they gave forth
their lots, and the lot fell upon Mat
thias; and he was numbered with the
eleven apostles" (Acts i18 to &c.
Now, We notice two things here that
prove the great need Of the Holy Ghost,
the Divine teacher: First, that they
appointed or nominated the men before
they had prayed to God 10 show them
who he wanted, and they must have
cast their lots or votes before they got
Gods approval of their action in voting
for either, as we hear no mere from
Justus and Maththias; but we do hear
volley after volley in thunder tones
from that wonderfully and mysterious
ly chosen apostle to the Gentiles, who
had been chosen it seems from the
very foundation of the world to be the
minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles.
And as he says in Rom. xv:16: "That
the Offering up Of the Gentiles might
be acceptable, being sanctified by the
Holy Ghost" And again, in Heb. K
14-l5: "For by one offering he hath
perfected forever them that are sancti-
fed, whereof the Holy Ghost also is a
witness to u.s." Does God lie to me or
any spiritual child when he sends his
Holy Spirit to witness to fact or to a
blessing he has promised? God can
not nor will not lie. And why are
these things promised? Wherefore
Jesus also that he might sanctify the
the people with his own blood suffered
without the gate. "
These thoughts as we'll as what we
will next quote from Acts i:12 are Of
fered that we may lead you into the
narrow, straight way and get Gods
word in behind you so as to both push
! and lead you into this way of holiness.
Listen to the apostle again in Acts i:1-2,
as l will have to keep this wonderful
thought before your minds in order to
show the difference between the acts of
the apostles before and after they re-
ceived the Holy Ghost, the great teach

Hughes Ticket.

Washington, Dec. 13.-The genial
Colonel Archibald NJ. Hughes, post
master of Columbia, Tenn, who is no
body's chump, when it comes to polit-
ical play of the point-winning kind, has
created quite jolly sensation in certain
circles here by his precipitation Of the
Roosevelt and Brownlow ticket for 1904.
The boomlet has been not little dis
cussed at the capital and around town,
for Col. Arch is almost as we'll known
here, where he has had good jobs off
and on for quarter Of a century, as
Walter Brownlow himself. The con-
sensus of opinion is that if O southern
man is to be chosen as running mate
for Roosevelt, and white man is se-
lected, there is no reason why he should
not be that most popular of all southern
republicans, Walter Preston Brownlow,
Of the First Tennessee congressional
district. AS for Mr.. Brownlow himself,
like Mark Hanna, he only winks.

have to acknowledge that the apostles
we're doing business when they chose
Matthias to fill the place of Judas, just
as the different denominations do busi-
ness today. The former treatise have
made 0 Theophilus, Of all that Jesns
both began to do and teach, until the
day in which He was taken up; after
that He, through the Holy Ghost, had
given commandments unto the apostles
when he had chosen; and they had
been commanded to tarry and wait for
this light and power, and hence we
think that their act was not recognized
at all. But how differently do we find
the disciples acting after the HolyGhost
came and they were filed till they
were drunk on the spirit, and began to
speak with other tongues as the spirit
gave them utterance. And the people
were all amazed; some said they are full
of new wine, but Peter had the promis-
ed key and he, standing up with the
eleven, lifted up his voice and said un-
to them, Eye men of Judea and all We
that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known
unto you, and hearken to my words:
for these are not drunken, as We sup
pose, seeeing it is but the third hour of
the day. But this is that which was
spoken by the prophet Joel and it shall
come to pass in the last days, saith
God. Twill pour out of my spirit upon
all flesh; and your sons and your
daughters shall prophesy, and your
young men shall see visions and your
old men shall DEAN dreams. The last
days referred to here means this Cen
tile dispensation, or from the day of
pentecost to the coming of Christ,
which time not even the angels Of heav-
en-, neither the Son of God has any
knowledge" But this same Holy
Ghost and the promises that were to
follow are still freely given to all his
believing and obedient children. We
find, eight years after Peter had taught
this truth, and the Jews were finding
fault to his teaching the word of God
to the Gentiles, he said to them: 81
