Because He Was Tempted
and Treated.

Mrs. Robert j. Burdette tells a story about
the white ribbon which is the sign of total
abstinence. There are some persons, said
Mrs. Burdette, according to the Chicago
Daily News, who don't wear the white rib
bon with sincerity. They wear it, perhaps,
about as hypociltically as it was worn by
an employee OF a certain brewer. This EN-
ploye, after gears of dissipation, appeared
one Gay at the brewery with the wnlte rib
bon on his breast.
Nothing was said to him and he wore the
ribbon for some months. Then one day the
head Of the firm, happening to notice the
mans badge, approached him. Why,
Frank, he said, 1T is strange to see you, a
brewer, wearing the white ribbon 1t does
look strange, sir, the man admitted.
WELL said the brewer, why do you do
it? 1T is like this said the workman. Il

as confession unto salvation. The one

thought, an irreconcilable difference or
opinion as t the process OF salvation.
1t would seem that Paul emphasized
salvation by simple faith and James
salvation by works. So strongly did
Luther contend against this IDEA OF
works as a part of the process OF saliva
ton that he refused to recognize the
epistle of James as inspired OF Coo anu
authoritative 1t is easy to understand
his prejudice. for Luther lived in a

sight of faith. and when the works OF
penance and confession and church
forms and ceremonies and cold formail-
ties constituted the religious life OF the
people. And so Luther swung to the
other extreme. and emphasized faith
without works. And yet between the
doctrine of Paul and James there is the
most perfect union and harmony. Each
views the matter Of salvation from a
different standpoint. One sees the alb
solute need of faith as expressive of
utter dependence upon the mercy m
righteousness of Goo for deliverance
from sin and its consequences. The
other sees the absolute need Of works
as the expression of that faith. for as
James puts it, faith without works is
dead. and then he goes on to show how
all the heroes of faith to whom Paul re-
fers to enforce his arguments in favor
of faith without works. showed their
faith by their works.

blueberry bush, which was laden with
ripe fruit. They ate many OF the ber-

stood. and some of those which grew a

Later on, one of the skunks amused
himself by starting to dig a burrow

his fore feet, and his great long claws
proved excellent implements for the pur-
pose.
Presently there came across the field
an Italian workman, who, from his gen

country very long, and whose English
vocabulary. as | presently discovered,

will be conspicuous the coming fall and
winter as ornamental accessories to
handsome toilets. Properly used on
waistcoats, cuffs and girdles, they are
| artistic and beautiful, and there is the
additional attraction to the woman who
| wishes exclusive styles, that while the
masses may also use buttons their
purses are unable to compass the really
handsome fancy buttons that partake
of the nature of cabcchons and. conse-
quently there is no danger of their tres
passing on the exclusives territory
Buttons for the Directoire coats are a
necessity, and some very beautiful jew
eled ones, as well as those in
art designs artistically worked in col
ored metals, will be Used. Rh~inestones,
many in fiat designs, will lead these jew
eled buttons.
Some of the new metal buttons are so
made as to closely resemble delicate en-
| broideries on silken grounds.
New yet decidedly old-fashioned but
| IONS like those oyr mothers used to
wear are covered with colored silks,
tufted with velvets of contrasting
shades. Indeed. several of the novelties
| in buttons are reminiscent of the preced-
ing generation.
Coral and turquoise cabochons set in
rims of silver, gold or steel are shown,
but these are not new.
AS Pavuin is using Dresden buttons in
| the new yellowish-tinted reds and pur-
| plish blues with patterns outlined in
gold, these buttons are among the latest
| importations. Other colors as we'll as
those mentioned are also in evidence.
A new thing in pearl buttons is the
introduction of colored centers. Gro
| Chef and braid buttons to combine with
| braid trimmings are quite the thing.
Another of the new buttons is a tufted-
back black ivory for use on tailored and
mourning wearing apparel. The tufted
back permits the button to be easily
| sewed on and retained by the garments
| 1t is destined for use upon.
In the better braids for trimming pur-
| poses the Japanese patterns and ideas
are seen. and the diamond-patterned
| silk braids are much in evidence.
A novelty in passementeries is the use
OF suede in various shades as a back
ground for the embroideries and ap-
| pliques of silk and beads. Suede is also
| being used. for vests with collars and
cuffs to match, but there is no prospect
| of it's being generally fashionable. A
dark-blue broadcloth coat and skirt had
it's coat showing a pale yellow suede
vest embroidered in furnished gold eff
| fects and having buttons to match the
| embroidery. The cuffs and fat collar
| showed strips Of the embroidered suede
| set in the dark blue velvet forming the
foundation of these accessories.

How Beauty Is Preserved.

A writer in the Chicago News says
that late hours and the excessive use
of the eyes in poor light or on trains
and cars, worry and i'll health are the
prolific source Of wrinkles. The wom-
an who is asleep before. midnight,
who wears glasses if she needs them
to read with, who does not use her
eyes by a poor light and who follows
these common-sense directions can, II
she is still young and wrinkleless,
preserve her complexion for many
years, and she who is already showing
imperfections can prevent their be-
coming more marked-in many in
stances removing them-by properly
cleansing and nourishing her skin.
And that at a very small cost, as
these directions are. especially for
those possessing small incomes.

Of his unreimitting attention to His
Holiness, the late Pope Leo XIII, and
the high esteem and confidence with
which he is regarded by the present

commanding genius. He is more than
a mere man of science /; he is a man Of
original and Independent mind. I'M
trammeled by the "etiquette" of the

his practice with good results, he freely
avows the facts and endorses the value
Of this remedy with al authority which
no one will venture to question.
Or. Lapponi's Letter.

to connect up the soul with Christ by the

The motor stands there dead and inert.
There is no evidence of the power and
life which it may be claimed lies within
the wire and that dynamo. All the con-

great generators back at the power

vital current. but there is no evidence
outwardly of the inner conditions.
Something more is needful. But turn
the switch and let the current pass
through the dynamo and at once we see
the outward evidence OF the inward
presence. So with the one who believes
in Christ. The wire OF faith has cons
nected the soul with its Lord and
Saviour, but the evidence of that union
is only seen, yea and felt, as the life OF
the Christ flows through the disciple in
confession. AS well might the dynamo
be connected up with the water plug at
the corner if the current of electricity
We're not permitted to flow through it.

TY7HAI IOllOWS dCcoTuiuS 10 the III
w vine prescription is confession.
This is the expression and confirmation
of that which has taken place within.
It has been said that a thought is not
real and tangible until it has been ex-
pressed in spoken or written word. The
confession of Christ by word of mouth
clarifies the vision Of faith, it clinches
the convictions, it confirms the hopes
and aspirations of the soul. The con-
fession Is the inseparable and the indis-
pensable twin of the faith of the heart.
Many a soul has struggled on in desper-
ate effort to live the secret Christian life.
No peace or joy has come to the soul.
How could it when the Christ Who had
dared to face all the world for the lost
sinner is being denied and dishonored
by silent lips. Either of two things al
ways happens to such a believer. Either
he at last brings the joyless and troubled
religious experience to a close by an
open confession OF the Christ he loves,
or else in wilful obstinacy and disobe-
dience he loses the presence OF the Christ
and falls short OF the Salvation which
Christ yearned to give him. Bishop
Huntingdon has said: Religion be-
longs in the heartbeat of a mans affec-
tions and the breath of his daily de-
sires. But when the heart has taken it
in. it will not lock it there and make
It a prisoner. 1t must go abroad again.
for the blessing of man and the praise Of
Cod The confession must be a part
of the saving faith. Away with the de-
lusion which the devil would cast upon
the souls of men in making them believe
that they can believe in Christ and be
saved in the end and not confess that
Christ here and now, The confession
must come. For with the heart man
believeth unto righteousness. but with
the mouth confession is made unto Sal
vatiOn."
