NEW FASHIONS In FURS.
Monkey. sable and Seal VIII Rule in
This Country the Coming
Winter.

All the fashions in furs are settled for
the approaching winter. The fur that is
newest and that is being introduced with
most trepidation by English furriers
is monkey. In America monkey is going
to enjoy an assured success, but there
exists in this country an almost in sur
mountable objection to it, says Lon
don report.
Women who know what they are pur-
chasing turn from the long, silky, black
ish brown hair with disgust Those who
do not, admire it as novelty, and finger
the sleek pelt with evident admiration.
So the furriers are carefully Disgusting
monkey under other names.
Monkey makes handsome coats and
enormous muffs The odor of the skin
is the chief objection. But this difficulty
of aroma the furriers have combated
with wonderful success. Whatsoever
faint remnant of it remains wears away
after the pelt has been in use a little
while.
OF the furs introduced this time last
year some are going to be in great de-
mand Moleskin is one, but the supply
is becoming limited and the price is in
consequence ascending. A substitute
has been found in musquash dressed to
initiate mole. Russian pony has quite
fulfilled the expectations that were built
upon it as serviceable motor coat pelt,
but beaver and otter. for which large
sale was predicted. lave not caught the
taste of the moneyed British public. Any
one who wants sea otter will this season
have to pay high price for it. owing
to the failure of the quest for them.
the vogue of some furs is on the wane
and growing costliness of others will
preclude their employment in many
quarters. Ermine is so scarce that it is
now costing actually three times as much
as it did last year, when it was in such
request for the coronation. Chinchilla
will be less fashionable than it was last
season, and caracul will not enjoy the
vogue it had during several SHOWS. Its
wane set in II months ago and bids fair
TO increase But sable will triumph
again as the empress of furs, and for
seal there is steady and extending de-
mand, the result of the renewal of popu-
larity that set in for that fur two win

JESUS Rebuke.-And if Jesus were
here on earth to-day He would an
swer the modern critics as He did
those who murmured at Mary: "Ye
have the poor with you always, and
whatsoever We will We may do them
good. " 1t was not Jesus purpose to
set the poor aside and refuse to recog-
nize their claim for help. In fact His
reply is positive recognition of the
poor and their claims upon their fellow
men, and especially the Christian. The
rebuke is not against the desire to aid
the poor, but against the exalting of
the temporal above the spiritual. And
until the higher claims of the latter
are recognized, one is not in a position
to administer to the temporal needs.
The least which one can do for the
poor is to feed and clothe and shelter.
II the help does not go beyond that
point, the unending years of eternity
will reveal the folly of such ministry.
The poor We have always, and there is
constant opportunity to help them,
physically, but the supreme mission is
! to help them spiritually. To withhold
food and shelter and clothing SO that
the life perish would not be SO terrible
as to withhold the ministry which
would bring the soul from death to life.
Death would forever end the physical
suffering, but death would only mark
the beginning of the awful lack which
the soul without Christ must know.

which alleviates physical suffering does
not fulfill our highest obligation to them.

THE Criticism.-Much criticism is
l heard that the churches raise and
expend so much for the evangelization
of the world and so little in direct lines
of charity. The sociologist points with
pride to his neighborhood settlements,
! his clubs, his schools for the poor, and
challenges the churches to show like
zeal for the lettering of human condi-
tons. 1t is the complaint of the dis
ciples modernized. The disciples said:
This ointment might have been sold
for more than 800 pence, and have been
given to the poor" The modern critic
says: See the vast amounts the
churches are spending in spreading the
Gospel. This money might better be
devoted to the alienation of the condi-
ton of the poor of our own land" Is
the criticism just? and if not, wherein
does the criticism err? Both questions
may be answered by the same state
ment: Jesus did not come into the
world to better the condition of the
poor. He came that He might through
His sacrifice save the souls of men. His
mission to the poor is not to give more
food, better clothing and shelter, but
to lift the dead soul to life in Him, and
when this has been done food, cloth
ing and shelter follow. The best the
world can do for it's poor does not go
beyond the brink of the grave, but the
work which Christ does, and which He
has called His disciples to helm Him
carry on, brings better conditions in
this life and prepares the soul for

IN these days of lavish giving and
L splendid organized charities, the
poor are remembered and provided for
as never before in the worlds history.
Charity's operations are reduced to a
science, but the Lord and His mission
to the poor are forgotten. Temporal
benefits are allowed to obscure the
eternal needs Of the soul. The alabas-
ter boxes are sold and the 300 pence
are given to feed and clothe the poor,
and human pride and self-consciOus-
ness swell in the heart and exclaim:
See, Lord, how splendidly thy servant
hath wrought" But were the soul SEN
sitive to the voice of the Saviour, they
would hear Him say: Eye have the
poor with you always and when We will
We may do them good. Ye have con-
slant opportunities to minister to their
physical needs, but the supreme offer
ing is the alabaster box of fellowship
with Me, of realization of My mission
to earth, of loving gratitude because of

not the giving of the 800 pence to re-
lieye a temporary need, but the offer
ing of the best one has to the Lord
that one may go forth equipped to give
the Lords best to the needy souls of
the poor.

may discover the elements or motives
which constituted her act, and therein
may find the secret Of adjustment
which will give to the Lord and give
to the poor, and will win from the
Lord the commentator: "She hath
wrought good work" There was fell
lowship, or deep sympathetic insight
into Jesus inner and deeper life; there
was spiritual perception, or clear un-
derstanding of Jesus mission into the
world and what lay before Him; and
there was grateful love and devotion
or appreciation of what the sacrifice of
Jesus was to mean to her needy soul.
1t was not a superficial sentiment, a
plying love because of what Jesus was
to suffer, which stirred Mary's heart to
it's foundations and prompted her to
give her precious ointment. Every
thing was shut out from Mary's vision
that day save her own needy soul and
the Saviour it had brought to earth
that it might be redeemed. The poor!
Yes, they were in the very community
where Jesus at that moment was din
ing-perhaps there were some of them
hanging on the outer edge of that
gathering-but the poor were not the
supreme object of Jesus mission. The
ministry to the temporal and physical
needs of the poor was vastly over
Swallowed by the ministry of sally alton
the ministry which went deeper than
physical needs, and laid hold upon the
dead soul; and lifted higher than the
mere comfort of this life, and gave an
eternal possession in Heaven.
