crowd filled with the same desires
and adoring the same Lord. For
We must direct conduct and meet the
needs of man as a social animal and
recognize the value and the In

But the call of God first to His
church is that she shall be expert
enced in the knowledge Of those in
effable and spiritual truths ont of
which spring the impulses that make
for a cody ethics, a consecrated So
ciety, a sDirit-moyed crowd, in such
measure and manner that she shall
be able to declare, delineate and re-
veal to men with compelling power
that wisdom Of the saving Father to
know which and whom is life eternal.
That is to say that the cali OF the
church frst-and all the time-is to
De q SplI4Ludl
Our duty is to be true to this call.
To live to this work. To cleave to
this program. To plan after this pat
tern. To exalt this as our ideal. Let
Us stand fast peTsistently in and for
this, rather than pat upon our past.
Let US strive together for this rather
than among ourselves. Let Us have
the spirit Of h~elpfulness rather than
OF l~aziness, and faith in God and in
the power Of His truth.
Let us be in nothing scared by our
a~dversaries. We have been. Sin
makes a brave show. We have taken
to our heels. as it were, often at its
approach. We have had an unreas-
oning terror OF it's power. And we
have chronically overTated its ability
to beat US. But We have no moro
reason to be scared by sin than a
child has to be frightened by Jack
in-the-box.
The church can put sin to Tout
when it gets into right relationships
with deity and into the proper sort OF
fighting clothes, OF else God. VINO can
not lie, prevaricates. He says we can
do it. He promises to enable us. He
demonstrates the method. He pro-
vides the stone and the sling, the
helmet, the breastplate. the armor,
the two-edged flaming sword Of His
own consuming truth. Either we can
or we cannot. If we can we ought.
And we can if we will.
For one, l believe that sin, unlike
Achilles, is vulnerable at every
point. We have but to hit with the
right weapons and hard to subdue
it. For sin is a hulking, rotten mon
| ster to whom we need be in bondage
no longer than We desire-thanks to
the grace and the potency of Col.
And this is the call Of God that
we shall be true to the spiritual mis-
sion for which we are endowed and
that we shall fight sin ~fearlessly to
a finish. May we be true thereto.

Lincoln Family History.

Thomas Lincoln settled on the
farm near Hodgenville il March,
1906. On the 10th of the following
June he brought to his new cabin a
bride, Nancy Hanks, and three years
later there was born to them a child,
whose name was to belong to the
ages. The child grew in strength, for
the sweet air of these Kentucky hills
could bring only a healthful glow to
baby cheeks. A sister was born to
be a companion to the boy, and they
played around the cabin door and
down by the rock spring.

Selecting Gowns.

In choosing a gown, %supposing the
fashionable color, though preferred,
is not considered becoming, then it
is a good plan to have the gown of a
color that will suit the wearer, the
trimmings in very small quantities
and not arranged anywhere near the
face of the new color. If this is
impracticable, very often the hat may
be entirely of the prevailing color,
facing with black velvet, or a black
hat may be trimmed with the new
shade, just as preferred, thus in a
embrasure keeping up to date, at the
same time wearing nothing unbe-
coming.

AN NDLEs CHAIN.

Jones for a bubble wagon yearned,
Though he was short of cash;
And so he did not hesitate
To take his chances rash.
Prosperity was in the air,
The crops were waving high;
He put a mortgage on his roof
A motor car to buy.
Another brand of poverty
Came marching down the pike,
And Jones to his dismay perceived
His pocket it would strike;
He proved himself a fnancier
From whom none held aloof,
And mortgaging his auto then
In turn he saved his roof.

Gentlemen, your request reminds
