checked designs, while it also can
be made available for the still thin
ner materials of the summer such
as the Powered mousselines. spider

The over blouse is made in one
piece and is laid in pleats over the
shoulders. The right front is Tapped
over the left and attached to posi-
ton, the closing being made in
visibly at the back. The fulness at
the waist line can be regulated by
means of a tape inserted in a casing,
or the waist can be gathered and
stitched to a narrow belt. The v
shaped portions are optional and can
be used or omitted as liked.

New Gloves.

A new idea in long gloves is to
have the hand Of kid and arm of silk
or lace or vice versa. The effect is
rather quaint, especially If the lace
on the arm be fine meshed, but when
the hand is Of silk or lace and the
arm of suede or glace kid the en-
semble is good and tends to make
the hand appear smaller. The de-
mand for black gloves is OF the in
rease Black for gown or hat is
increasing all the time. Not to say,
OF course, that all madame's or
mademoiselle's best frocks will be in
black, but a large portion Of them
will be, or else colored ones gener-
ously touched with black.

Calm the Imagination.

You will tell me that calmness
of the imagination does not depend
on ourselves. Pardon me, 1t de-
ponds very much on ourselves. When
wo cut off all the uneasy thoughts
in which the will has a share, we
greatly diminish those which are In
voluntary. God will watch over your
imagination If you do not keep up
the disturbance by your scrupulous
reflections. r.
Abide in peace. Do not listen to
your imagination, which Is too lively
and too full Of. fancies. This ex-
cessive activity consumes your body,
and dries up your inward life. You
are preying upon yourself ~uselessly.
It is merely your resrlessness which
hinders peace and interior grace
How can you expect God to speak
in that gentle and inward voice which
melts the soul, when you are max.
ing so much voice with your rapid
reflections. Be silent, and God will
speak again.-Fenelon.

The Power of the Church.

While a missionary in Montana a
few years ago, a man across the table
in true Western style asked me
What is your business?" and my
reply was, II am a preacher, SIR
What is yours?" and he said, IT am
a rum-seller. You preachers are on
the advance, and we rum-sellers are
on the retreat. I used to sell rum
in Iowa, and you preachers came in,
and we, like grasshoppers, flew over
into the Dakotas where we had a
good time for g. while; then you
preachers came in too many for u.s.,
and we were compelled to fly again
into. Montana, and we have Montana
to-day. But when you get money
and preachers enough you will drive
us out of Montana, and 1 do not
know where we will go then for you
have Washington already. Rev. R.
e. Barrett.

rial life. Jesus had a purpose.
Therefore He pictured the new birth
to men as the entrance requirement
for the Heavenly Kingdom and the
joys of eternal life with God. Jesus
had a purpose to show men God, sin,
redemption, the kingdom. Having a
deep and fixed purpose, He taught
convincingly from a convicted life.
In the last place, Jesus taught as
one having authority. Mark tells us
that at the synagogue at Capernaum
the Jews were astonished at the
teaching Of Jesus-that is to say,
they were almost struck dumb. Con-
trary to the scribes, Jesus talked with
authority. Speaking from his own
intimate, personal knowledge Of the
truth and power of His message Jesus
asked the aid and witness Of no man
to prove His points. The scribes
cited precedent as justification for
their legalism. Jesus spoke truth
under the influence Of the Spirit Of
God. The seribes rested their ase
on external authorities; Jesus had
the witness of the Spirit of. His own
life. The Pharisees made tradition
the test; Christ made the Spirit. 1t
is no wonder that they were aston
ished. The gulf is wide between the
sanctions of tradition and the sane
ton Of the Spirit. Traditions choke
the truth; the Spirit giveth life. The
hope and strength Of WORKOUT the
cries is tradition and it is the chief
enemy Of the Spirit. No man of sense
will, of course, break with the past
merely through perverseness. On
the other hand, no one should allow
the ~fallacies Of the past to deaden a
higher life now. To the past all
honor; for the present the things Of
to-day, the hopes and visions of to-
morrow.
The application is'easy. Our pro-
mitigation of the truth should be
simple: The teachings Of Jesus
should be applied %searchingly to all
life in this day. Our method of pre-
s~entation should be realistic, mot abb
struse, that men may feel and grasp
and hold the truth. There ought to
be no lack of purpose in u teach
ing Of the way unto eternal life, We
tell men, or we should, the Gospel
story not to amuse them, but to save
their immortal souls. And lastly,
and most important of all, we must
teach with authority-not dogmat-
ically or narrowly-but with the
surenessI that comes from spiritual
experience.

Unbiased Testimony.

The writer of an article headed
"Allsopp's Brewery" in the Invest,
ment Review, in trying to account
for the heavy loss of $4,000, shown
in the firms recent annual report,
says, amongst other things:
The fact must not be lost sight
Of, that during the past few years a
temperance wave has passed over
the country (England), and there is
no doubt that the taste for beer has,
to a large extent fallen off. the
opening of clean, well-managed, and
smartly appointed cafes and tea-shops
has also helped to wean customers
from the tavern, and the activity of
the Temperance Party has done much
to reduce the ranks of those to whom
the public house was a club"
We welcome this unsolicited testi-
monial to the efficiency of temper
ance work, and o nj the less because
it is given by one who views the
matter entirely from a business point
Of view.-WingS.

The Spiritual Magnet.

That great magnet, with it's metal
frame and. it's coil of wire, and that
strange magnetic power, reaches out
and takes hold of those little pieces
of metal, between which and itself
there is an affinity, and it gives them
some of it's power through the con.
tact. Christ is the Great Spiritual
Life Magnet, And I, If l be lifted
up from the earth, will draw all men
unto Me-" and faith in Him puts us
in spiritual affinity with Himself, and
through it He holds US to Himself
and gives US power of His power, and

The Living Hope.

1.-THE risen Christ Is the hope of
the believer-Christ, not in the
heavens, but in the heart. And
this hope we have as an anchor OF
the soul, both sure and ~steadfast,
and which entereth into that with
in the veil. There is saving power
in this hope, for it is not a theory or
dogma or experience, but a Divine
Personality, even Jesus, the Fore
runner, who has for US entered the
upper sanctuary, and there ever
liveth to make intercession for us,
and hath begotten US unto a living
hope by His resurrection from the
dead."-Pittsburg Christian Advo-

No Organ Escapes This Subtle Poison.

Psychologists are finding by numer-
Gus experiments that, while alcohol
has a certain food value, this is more
than counter-balanced by it's effect
as a poison. The researches on this
subject go more and more to show
that there is not an organ in the
human body that escapes this subtle
poison, nor a function that is not
impaired by it's use. The octogenar-
ian who boasts that he has had his
daily toddy has reached his fulness
of days not because of his habits, but
in spite of them.-Tribune.
