~. NAV 10 Avoid Wrinkles.

Four-year.old Alice had been to visit
a very aged lady, whose face was bad
ly wrinkled. On returning home she
climbed into her aunt's lap, and, look
ing at her intently, dueried:
What makes Grandma Barker's
face all wrlnkled?"
Because she Is very old dearie, "
was the reply.
"Will your nice, smooye face be like
hers when you get to be old, auntie?"

No saioops-sra.. In the Streets.

The claim is often made that the
adoption of prohibition by town will
cause the grass TO grow on the streets.
And this prophecy has been fulfilled at
Winters, Cal. after trial of only nine
months. Less than one year ago there
were six saloons running in that place
and making things lively in such ways
as only saloons can. In fateful hour
they were voted out and the threatened
result has daily become more apparent
Grass growing in the street, Yes, and
a photograph of the scene is published
right on the first page of the last Cali
fornia Voice. There 1t is all so plain
as to prevent denial by any person.
Grass growing two feet high right in
front of the door of the lookup, which
looks as though it had not been opened
for months! The picture tells its own
story, but an accompanying account
proceeds to tell Of the benefit which
the absence of the saloon has been to
all other business in the place, which
never was so prosperous or growing
more substantially than now.-New
Voice.

Woman's most pressing duty is to en-

kinds-for there is nothing more sad

moan waste of money-for waste Of

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR NOTES
SUNDAY, AUGUST rHlRrgsnrA.
The Building Of character.--2 Pet. I:
LII: Jude 20: 21.

LII; Jude 20: 81.
AS the basis of all material accom-
plishment Is industry, so diligence Is
the basis of all accomplishment in
matters spiritual.
Tho true Christian life is never
satisfied, but Will always seek to add
attainment to attainment, conquest to
conquest.
The foundation OF our spiritual
building Is faith, its cornice is love.
AS In the Temple at Jerusalem.
there Is no sound OF the hammer in
the building OF character, but there is
throughout the building the sound OF
prayer.
Suggestions.
No one can build without a plan !;
but IL you have a plan, you can be-
gin to build on any part OF the
ground.
The buildings that are to last for
long time are built slowly.
No building but is the gathered con-
tributlon of many minds and many
kinds OF workmen. No man can build
a noble character by himself.
The buildings in a city may touch
one another, but each must be able
to stand as firmly though its neigh
bors are taken down. Our characters
must be Independent.
Illustrations.
II often takes as long in a great Of
fee building to obtain proper foun-
dation as to erect the superstructure.
So in a life.
What the iron framework is to a
modern building. that a strong char
acter Is to life.
Some lives are like those edifices
of wood and erected for the great ex-
positions. They look like stone. but
they perish in a short time.
Questions.
Are you conscientiously building
your character, or letting it grow
haphnzard?
Are you seeking a SNOWY building
or a permanent one?
The Worlds Union.
Most countries are now organized
in Christian Endeavor Unions, with
national officers, holding their own
conventions in their own languages.
publishing Christian Endsavor papers
in their native language and caring
for their own societies in the way best
svi:ed to the needs of each coun-
try.

Sufficient for each day is the good
thereof, equally as the evil. We must
do at once, and with our might. the
merciful deed that our hand findeth to
do. else it will meyer be done, for the
hand will find other tasks. and the ar
rears fall through. And every uncon-
summated good feeling. every unful-
filed purpose that His Spirit has
prompted, shall one day charge us as
faithless and recreant before God.--J.

The Rev. DR.. Il. Trumbull Lee says:
"rhe best life begins with prayer
We must first he lifted up out of our
selves by an approach to God, We
must worship. Through worship God
opens the door of life. While men
and women of the world tumble ut the
latch. the humble believer enters and
takes possession"

kind consideration for others, self-de-
nial self-sacrifce. They watch with
an eagle eve for any infringement upon
or deviation fro,n this standard. When
the Christian goes wrong there Is a
tripie wrong done to himself, to the
cause he represents and to those who
look up to him for an example and
leading toward godly life. And by
podly life do not refer to mere neg
ative form of goodness. G., absti-
nence from oil the sinful desires OF tn,
fesh-only this and nothing more.
We must endeavor to make our con-
duct attractive and winning, especially
when we take into account or have
dealings with those who nre unfriendly
to Christianity. We oftcntimes have
TO do with Christians who are curt,
crusty, severe, unkind and disagree
able In word and manner. We should
not be surprised tc hear the remark,
and we cannot but sympathlze with 1t
when made with reference to such
cases: "If this be Christianity, pray
thee have me excused. want none OF
It,"
In order to do our part there must be
not merely n refrainlng from what is
