which now in some of our cities strikes the midnight hour, may be made at evening to light all of our street lamps at one flash. secure perfect uniformity of time in our public clocks and kindle beacon on these dreary rocks in the sea, where human beings now endure a melancholy and dangerous solitude" Bishop Clark from the celestial heights might see those electric lights shining today. Speak out, ye lonely islanders now In touch with mankind. Speak outl
 Then the good bishop goes on and de- scribes the wonderful invention of the modern typewriter, to me one of the greatest labor saving machines in the world. He continues: There Is an other invention which I for one would hail with exceeding joy. It may seem absurd to predict that the time may come when it will not be customary to teach our children how to write. It would have been thought just as ab- surd fifty years ago to have foretold that the boys of this generation would grow up not knowing how to make a pen. But that time Is going to come"
 Thus In closing this sermon on this Thanksgiving Sabbath I would have us one and all. amid the great hum of fac tory and by the flash of electric spark, make this one prayer: 70 God, make me thankful for the food eat, for the clothing I wear and for the many, many blessings of inventions round about me. Fill me with the holy de- sire not to build for myself a hang Ing garden of Babylon. but to be SO blessed through the help of modern in- vention that out of my abundance I may give to thee and to thy children" May this be the Thanksgiving prayer of every heart Then instead of ma terial wealth being the cause of our spiritual overthrow 1t will be the means by which we ourselves may be lifted by lifting a hungry and a naked and fallen race up toward God and heaven. Then. Indeed. shall the desert blossom as the rose and the barren places of the earth through the power of inven- ton be filled with the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea. Then will our Thanksgiving day be glorious Thanksgiving day for those we love and for those whom we shall bless.

 But, though Byam Shaw's characters were dressed In garments quarter of a century old, yet, like our own clothes. they were all machine made garments. The linen came from the Belfast mills The wools were woven not with a Pris- elias spinning wheel, but by the looms of the Manchester factory. The silks came from the silk mills, the kid gloves from the kid glove factories. The poke bonnets were made in the hat factories. The high silk hats, without which no British aristocrat feels that he is dress ed as a gentleman, also came from the hat factory. And when we go through our own wardrobes we hear machinery hummIng one perpetual sentence: "I made you. I made you. I made you. I made the cloth of that coat. made the cloth of that dress. I made that underwear. I made those shoes and those hats and those gloves. I made you. l made you" And why has ma chinery made all our clothes? For two reasons-hrst, because machinery can make our clothes much cheaper than the human hand can make them; req son the second, machinery can make those clothes much better and more suitable for comfort and ease.
 ''Oh," says some cynic, 'I do not see any benefit from machinery in regard to clothes. True, the sewing machine Is able to make six dresses for my wife where her grandmother had only one, but the difference between modern times and ancient times is no difference in the amount of work done. My wife keeps saying always, I must have six dresses so every time I come home from business she meets me with a re- quest for a new hat or a new coat or a new dress or a new pair of evening slippers, and for my part I would like to go back to the old times when wo- men and men did not think or talk about dress. This talk about dress nearly drives me insane" Would you, my brother, like to go back to the old ways and not have the comforts of the modern machine made garments? Well, let me see how It fits in your case.

Benefits of Improvements.


 But, after discussing for little while the benefits which machinery has giv- en to us in our eating and drinking and our sanitation and in our wearing apparel, shall we stop there? Shall we not at least hint at the wonderful ben efits that have come to us from tele- phone and telegraph and the modern newspapers and the lights by which we read in the evening hours, and from the typewriter, which has so lift ed the onerous burdens of professional and mercantile life, and the electric cars which for 5 cents make 1t possi- ble for business man to be fin his of flee at half past 8 In the morning and yet take his evening meal in subur- ban home surrounded by flowers and grass grown yard, as we'll as. by wife and children? Shall we not thank God for the wonderful inventions of the biologists laboratory. for the micro scope, the Roentgen rays and all the wonderful means by which disease is being halted in its onward march and driven back and by which the crooked limbs are made straight? Shall we not thank God for the wonderful system of street lamps we have, which makes midnight in a large city almost as bright as midday and which light is the greatest of all crime preventers? And, above all, shall we not thank God for our library shelves filled with books, cheap books, yet books ready to serve us when we stretch out our hands for them?
 We are living in a wonderful age. How wonderful it is not one of us can truly grasp. l was never more i'm pressed with the rapid advancement of material blessings and of inventions than when reading recently a synopsis of a lecture delivered by the late Bish- op Clark of Rhode Island in 1855. At that time there were no bicycles, no automobiles, no typewriting machines, no telephones, no Atlantic cables. no transcontinental railroad, no great steamship lines as we conceive them, no successful airships, no sleeping cars, no large office buildings, with their ele- vators, and no electric cars. The title of this lecture was The Next Fifty Years" These are some of the prophe- cies Bishop Clark then made: We have made wonderful progress ip travelling facilities during the last half century, but do you think improvement Is going to stop there7 Nay. Posterity will not be content to travel at the slow rate of only thirty miles an hour, seated in these narrow cars, stihed with bad air and dirt. It costs no great effort to imagine fifty years hence a splendid locomotive, with hotel, spacious par lors, dining rooms and dormitories, moving gently as the bird flies over 9 road earpeted by turf and bordered by shade trees and sweet shrubs from Boston to San Francisco In four days" Have not the good bishops prophecies almost literally come truef Shall we not soon leap the continent from the Atlantic to the Pacific in less than four days? Then Bishop Clark goes on and prophecies some of the wonderful in- ventions that have come to pass in the electric world; ''Ths slscG!q battsry,

old Fashioned Clothes.

You say you like the old handmade clothes, hard to make, but clothes which, after they were made, never wore out. How would you like your great-grandmother to knit for you a pair of stockings like those your great grandfather wore? You say these modern stockings are always getting holes in them. Yes, they are, but there was no danger of your grandfather's stockings having holes in them. Whyf They were made as thick as bed quilt. Then the beauty of them was that, like a modern Mother Hubbard dress, they would continually stretch and be made to fit any one, or, rather, they would never truly it any one.
 Then you grumble about your wives and daughters always talking about dress. "Oh," you say, 'it is dress, dress. dress from morning until night and from night until morning whenever the women get together" But who is prouder of his wife when she is dressed well than your Are you not a little more willing to go to Thanksgiving service when you are walking by her side and you think she has a prettier winter hat on than any other woman in the church? Do you not feel nightly humiliated when she does not keep her self neat and up to datef No. l for one do not want to go back to the old poetic times of the spinning wheel. I 60 not wish my wife to wear her we'd ding trousseau. composed of one or two dresses and a shawl made so strong that they will last for twenty, thirty, forty, fifty years, and then have her will them to her children and grand cSildren as family relics. For my part, thank God for the comforts of mod ern dress.

But as I go and study Byam Shaw's picture and watch that crowded room of the British museum I see the men and women dressed in the most beau tiful of garments. Of course these gar ments are not in up to date fashions. They are dressed as people dressed thirty years ago. When we say thirty years ago we instinctively know that the styles are old fashioned, for when we realize that every winter our moth CTS and wives and daughters must have their clothes made over again completely or else they feel that they look ridiculously out of style, then we know that the garments of q quarter of a century ago must be out of style indeed.
