Keep in Line.

Keep in line with the Holy Ghost.
Whatever is accomplished in over
throwing the kingdom of Satan and
the upbuilding of the Kingdom of God
can only be done through and by the
direction of the Holy Ghost. He is
the great Director of effort for the
redemption of the world He is the
Controller Of all the forces which God
sets to work in every age for the SAL
Yation Of men.
There is diversity in His opera
tions. He does not always work in
the same way. He does not always
set forth the same truths. He ig-
nores no truth, but presents all truth
lust when. and what people need. He
presents truths in their proper order
He does not always use the same
measures. Some things wear out and
lose their power over men.-The
Kings Messenger.

Out Of Reckoning.

Miss Eve De Chipenham, lecturer
of New York, holds that beautiful
thoughts make beautiful faces and
figures, and that ugly thoughts de-
form, even as unwholesome WorB
does.
by taking thought" said Miss
De Chipenham, in an interview IL
Chicago, "you cannot perhaps add q
cubit to your stature, but you can
eradicate round shoulders and
sponge wrinkles away.
"Our thoughts mould our faces;
form our expression. Thus they give
us away. They give us away as much
as the spoken thought OF a Chlcago
girl once gave her away.
This girl sat in a dim-lit parlo1
on a winter evening with a young
man. A fire of oak logs blazed IN
the crate, and, looking into the pink
and gold heart of the flame, the girl
who was very pretty, murmured:
How divine, my dearest Hilary

started.
'Hilary?' he said. You mean
George, don't you, pet?'

PRAYER Defined.

Prayer is the application Of want
to Him who alone can relieve it, the
confession of sin to Him who alone
can pardon it. 1t is the urgency OF
poverty, the prostration of humility,
the fervency of penitence, the conf
dence of trust. 1t is not eloquence,
but earnestness; not the definition OF
helplessness, but the feeling of it;
not the figures Of speech, but COM
junction of soul. 1t is the Lord
save me, perish" of drowning
Peter, the cry of faith to the ear of
Mercy. Prayer is desire; it is not
a mere conception of the mind; not
an effort of the intellect, not an art
of the memory, but an elevation OF
the soul toward it's Maker.-Home

My little boy, when only an infant OF

Looking Ahead.

A charming young lady went into
one of the stationer's shops in coun-
try town and asked to see some thin
note paper After selecting what she
desired she hesitated for moment
DO you make any reduction to
clergymen?" she asked softly.
Certainly, madam said the sta
toner, with great promptness. Are
you a clergyman wife?'
"N-no," said the young lady.
"Ah, a clergyman's daughter,
them" said the shopman, as he be-
gan to tie up the paper in neat par
eel.
"N-no," was the lady's hesitatins
reply. Then she leaned across the
counter and spoke in a confidential
whisper: But If nothing happens
1 shall be engaged to a theological
student as soon as he comes home
from college this term. - Cassell's 8

Ye Are Saved Through Faith.

To confess, to weep, to pray, to re-
solve--all these are Of no avail un-
less we believe. 1t is by believing
that we have peace with God
through our Lord Jesus Christ" 1t
is by believing the exceeding great
and precious promises" that they are
realized in our experiences. In order
to receive any benefit from the work
Of Jesus we must believe that He is
"able to do exceeding abundantly
above all that we ask or think" To
the blind men who sought HIS help,
Jesus said: Believe ye that I am
able to do this? They said unto Him,
Yea, Lord. Then touched He their
eyes, saying, According to your faith
be it unto you And their eyes were
opened" To the ruler of the syna-
gogue Jesus said, Fear not; believe
only"
We must remember, however, that
"a nominal faith in Christ, which
accepts Him merely as the Saviour OF
the world, can never bring healing TO
the soul. The faith which is unto
salvation is not a more intellectual
assent to the truth. He who waits
for entire knowledge before he will
exercise faith, cannot receive bless
ing from God 1t is not enough to
believe about Christ; we must believe
in Him. The only faith that will
benefit us is that which embraces
Him as personal Saviour, which ap-
propriates His merits to ourselves
Many hold faith as an opinion; say
inv faith is q transactiOn by wlic1
those who receive Christ join them
selves in covenant relation with God.
Genuine faith is life" Believe, and
live in obedience to the will Of God.

A Lake of Ice That Burns.

"Cold7 Then we'll set fire to
some ice and warm ourselves"
The speaker made, with the heel
of his skate a hole in the ice. He
applied a match to the hole. The ice
blazed up instantly with hot, bright
flame.
"Oh, how good it feels" said the
young girl. She removed her gloves
to warm her slim hands the better.
But isn't it rather odd," she said,
Ito warm ones hands at a fire of
ice?"
You are a stranger to Atchison," "
said the young Kansan, "or you
wouldn't find it odd. We are used
to 1t here. Always when we skate
on Lake Doniphan, we set ice afire
if we are cold"
She watched her own little fire.
What Is the explanation Of this
miracle?" she said.
"A very simple one," said the
young man. This lake is full OF
natural gases. When 1t freezes over
gas in the form Of bubbles i'm
pregnates the ice. You have only to
burst open bubble and put match
to 1t and up shoots a magical fame. y

Red and yellow are the dream col.

No other hues come to the dreamer

that red is the most primitive of COL

savages gladly would give, valuable

Red strikes the note of intense
emotions. 1t is the color of JOY, ex'

themselves red and rejoice at seeing
each other in burning hues. German
women of the early ages daubed
their bodies with brilliant red and
yellow, and considered themselves
most beauteously adorned.

The Difference.

When Hannah More, the famous
Christian authoress, was dying, she
said three words, Light, light,
light" Then she went up, on the
wings Of light, to the city Of light.
A neighDor of Hannah More's died
about the same time, and made all
hiGecus about him with his cry, 1T s
SO black, so black!" How DO you eX-
plain the difference? Hannah More s
neighbor was tie boasted bully and
infidel in the county, Dragging that
there was no God, man or devil that
he was afraid of. The only rational
explanation to reasonable mind is,
Christ was with Hannah More.

Colored Slips Favored.

Last season colored slips were a
drug in the market; nothing but
white would answer. This season
will be a strong white season, but
there is large and growing demand
for the slip of color, and the soft
batiste is preferred to the silk. One
will make pink or blue or green
frocks out of her white ones by
means of these slips, and the veiled
color is always pretty.

Facing For the Hat.

1t is one of the fads to have the
facing Of the hat match the hair.
The bandeau is also the color Of the
hair, and the little putting Of maline
covering the bandeau is likewise a
close match to the coiffure. This is
a particularly becoming fad, for 1t
does away with the sharp outline
between the hat and the hair.
