marked with a condition of death
We were dead in our trespasses and
sins" From this Christ made us
alive. This act was a new creation,
in which God wrought work that is
never lost, but destined to come ulti-
mately to perfection. For this new
creation there is, like the new season
of Spring, a newness of life. 1t is
distinct from the old life. There is a
real and vital difference between the
old and the new.
The spiritual man lives on the
spiritual. 1t it his habitat. He feeds
on the Bread of Life, on the Word, on
Prayer. He lives for the spiritual, not
the temporal and material. Outward
" this life shows the fruits Of the
spirit, love, JOY, peace, long-suffering
kindness, goodness, faithfulness, meek
ness, self-control.
The service concluded in acts OF
preparation for the special evangel1s-
tic services of this week, to which the
church is earnestly looking forward.

HOUSE LAUGHS
AT WILLIAMS
TIE MINORITY LEADERS, WITTY
DEBATE is MOST
AMUSING.

WASHINGTON, April 16.-Just be-
fore the passage by the House today
of the naval appropriation bill Repre-
sentative John Sharp Williams got
the floor and delivered one of the wit
test speeches ever heard in that
chamber. The scene was a memora-
BILE one. He seemed to be at his best,
and from the moment he began the
members crowded around him, and
MANY times he threw the House into a
tumult. Awaiting himself OF the TWEEN
ty minutes allowed for discussing a
noint of order, Mr.. Williams said IL
was never out of place to read lessons
mon civic righteousness to the Re
publican party. He then proceeded,
amid general laughter, to declare that
wood pulp and print paper were ger
name to the bill, because it was of the
very highest necessity to the main
tenance of the navy to spread intelll-
gence among the people so that they
might know how much of navy was
necessary for national defense.

Women Who Wear Well.

1t Is astonishing how great . change .
few years of married life often make in
the appearance and disposition VI many
women. The freshness, the chsrNs, the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from =
peach which is rpdely handled. The
mztron Is only dim shadow. = faint echo
OF the charming maiden. There arc two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
Besses which too often come with mar
riage and motherhood, not understa nding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
Of its freshness and the form Of its
fairness.
