Pretty soon the Rev. Frederick William
Smith. assistant pastor OF the church. Sc
lected part Of the Eighth psalm for
his text. the principal part Of which arc
these words;
when consider Thy heavens. the work
OF Thy fingers; the moon and the stars,
which Thou mast ordained: What is man,
that Thou art mindful Of him? and the
son of man. that Thou visitest him?"
Then he went on TO say in part that
leach year man learns more and more
about tho world in which he lives and Of
the mightiness Of the universe. but with
all his knowledge he is constantly re
minded that he develops and creates
nothing himself.

"The power OF water was demonstrated
in nature long before tho boy discovered
one OF its forces by watching tea Kettle
emitting steam.
"Gravitation held the world together
long before the creation Of man. A New
ton merely discovered a mighty power
that could exist without his knowledge.
And so the preacher went on 10 show
that not one thing was created by man.
but that everything came from the great
eentre OF creative force
What Is man? In the presence OF God
he Is poworless. He cannot give song TO

Yet Gods happiness was increased by
the creation Of man. a being who should
be one of His agents for good. But II was
not enough that God made man 20 be

from the energy of the soliciting pro

Worlds fair to appropriate round

turned down the request. More let

and the absolute Moor repeated his
refusal. Still the letters continued to

where st. Louis Is and did not wish

undisturbed by further opportunity.
Many men have felt a similar
desire to escape the perseverance of

showing dots on hair line stripes and
taffetas will likewise be in demand.
Embroidery is conspicuous, either
done on the material or in bands. the
latter being sometimes in motifs join
ed together and separable should oo-
casion demand it. Braids ara also in
great favor as garnitures and in black
or tasteful mixtures of color, will do
very much to adorn plain material
Good braid will be especially stylish

frequent intermixture of gilt threads
in both passementeries and braids, is
very apparent. Fripges likewise. are
to be very fashionable, particularly
as completion to the deep yokes

liable quantities. Valenciennes

fabrics, will be we'll nigh as much in
lace, as in fabric proper.
Jackets run from short boleros and
etons, to three quarter lengths that
may be either tight fitting or loose.
