EPWORTH LEAGUE MEETING TOPICS
March l6-A Noble Purpose-Dan. 1920

Daniel is mentioned as a religious
character, and in Ezek. 2S. he is
set forth as an example of the high
est wisdom. Either this patriarchal
Daniel or some other man unknown to
history is represented as being sold
into captivity. falling into the hands
Of the Chaldean king, suffering the Sc
verest temptations, but as remaining
absolutely true to his Jewish con.
science and to the worship of the one
true God. AS a consequence he is
proyidentially cared for he secures un.
expected honor and prominence; and,
like Joseph and Moses in days of old,
he becomes a striking example of the
wisdom of being "obedient unto the
heavenly vision" of needing con.
science rather than the clamor Of
passion or the dictate of expediency
and of the certain victory which soon.
er or later comes to all those who are
thus steadfast in right and truth.
Daniel has a definite. intelligent,
reasoned purpose back of his conduct.
He had thought on the law and the
worship of God, he had intelligently
consecrated himself to the observance
OF both, he had foreseen the odds
which would be against him, and he
had deliberately made up his mind
that he would be true to his conscience
and his God at whatever cost. 1t is a
great thing when young man does
this. He is already saved from many
snares. and he has started on the
road to Victory.
Any young man who thinks earnest.

Christlike life Is the best, the most
satisfactory and promises most for
time and eternity. If he will conse.
crate himself with great purpose to
do the right, to unfalteringly keep
himself from everything that defiles,
and to follow only the highest, the
purest, the clearly right and good, he
Will find himself coming straight into

ing useless habits and creating useless
wants.
God honOred Daniels purpose and
continually promoted him. Captive
though he was, in daily danger OF
death or imprisonment, misunderstood
and ridiculed as a fool and a fanatic.
Daniel dared to do the right. and, as
he always does. God brought him OFF

God has been wrestling with you pa.
tiently and lovingly for many years. He
has sought by the prosperity and happi-
ness that He has sent you to make you con
scious of His tender love and care, and to
draw you to Him by the cords of gratitude.
And when you failed to perceive Him in
the daylight, He has met you in the dark
ness. He has thrown His strong arm
around YOU and still you have not known
Him. He has wounded you-He has had to
wound you'-because you struggled against
Him. Can you not now see that it is He?
And.is it not idle TO resist Him? Oh, if
men only knew that God is not their en-
emy, but their best friend III instead of
holding Him off or trying to break away
from His embrace, they would cling to
Him, as Jacob did exclaiming: II will not
let Thee go, except Thou bless mel" As
soon as that prayer is offered the blessing
comes and the morning breaks. There
would have been no need of the long
struggle II the soul had only yielded sooner
to Him whose one supreme desire is to
bless and save it.-Edward b. Coe, d. D.

Two gentlemen who had slipped pas

THE COMMONER
MAKES COMMENT
On the Recent Convention at
Sandusky.

Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 13,--Col. William
j. Bryan is keeping close watch on
Ohio politics. and that he is much in
favor of Tom l.. johnson can be seen
by glance at the following state
ments which, among others, appears
in the latest issue Of the Commoner:
THE Ohio convention was of i'm.
portance to the Democratic party for
two reasons: First, because the Dem
ocrats of Ohio endorsed the Kansas
City platform and put themselves in
line with the Democrats of the nation;
and second, because 1t showed Mr..
Johnson's influence In the councils of
the party of that State. This is much
different than the condition year ago
when John r. Mclean was a dominant
factor.
MIR. Johnson was not an advocate
of free coinage at 16 to'1. but the
Chicago platform had no more earnest
support because he realized that the
silver question was only one phase Of
the money question and that the
money question was only one phase of
the unending struggle between greed
and human rights

FURS AND FURS.
They Will Be More In Evidence Than
Ever Before This Year.

Shetland seal and are trimmed with
beaver and oppossum furs. ...
Muffs retain all their old-time popu-
larity, and can be purchased at prices
ranging from SO to SIS. The muff
for this season is made fat and is
adorned with tails at the ends. They
are made from all kinds of furs and
there is an endless variety from which
to choose. The more popular furs for
this purpose are stone martin, Bau-
martin. fox and blue lynx.
Fur caps for women are also dis
played by the dealers. and are likely
to become fashionable for sleighing
parties. These caps are toque shaped
and are trimmed with tiny dull colored
birds. 1t is claimed for these birds
that they are not birds that ever grew,
but are made up from separate feath-
ers,and look at these birds make dis.
belief of the statement an impossi-
bility. The fur used in caps is seal
exclusively.
For elderly ladies the fur cape will
be more popular than any other gar
ment and many of the younger women
favor 1t because of the ease with
which it is slipped on and Off and 1t IL
particularly nice for driving. The
fashionable cape is 80 inches In length
/ and has 10 inch sweep. These
capes are made of near seal and wool
seal almost exclusively and are as
handsome as possible.
THE MARCHIONESS
Akron daily Democrat. [volume] (Akron, Ohio) 1892-1902, 1902-09-13

Happy the woman who has a guam
tity of furs stored away, for however
much of worry they may have caused
her in the past, keeping them free
from moths, she will now be repaid,
for this year they make her FORUM
ate woman. Never have furs been
worn as fur men predict they will be
this year. 1t will be ceritable fur
year. and furs will be worn in every
conceivable manner as trimmings for
gowns, in jackets, scarfs, and hats.
In fact, the woman who has no furs.
however handsome her gowns may be,
is not to be in any way envied, for she
is sadly out of style.
Furs of all kinds and at all prices
will be worn. but the most fashionable
furs will be Isabella, sable and Alas
kan fox, Canadian seal. Russian sable,
martin and blue lynx. For trimmings
martins, mink and beaver are the most
exclusively used. The fox skins are
used in all the handsome scarfs of
which hundreds and hundreds will be
worn in Akron this year.
Scarfs are made large, this season
being both broad and long, and are or
namented with tails and streamers,
the tails being used on the hsndsomer
ones. Scarfs are made Of every kind
of fur in the market and can be pur.
chased at any price from 81 up to $50

failure to take his wife to base bail
game is the reason assigned in court
for the divorce proceedings begun by
Mary G. Newport against Albert New

on base ball, Judge" 1.-THE woman said,
"and despite this. he has not taken
me to a single game this season. He
goes to every game and then comes
home and tells me all the great plays
that he saw. and that only makes
things worse"
On the other side the husband re-
lates that on every occasion when his
wife learned of hisy attendance at a

practicing in-curves at his head, using
anything handy instead of the regu-
lation ball. The case was taken under
advisement.
