Chief among the characteristic fea,

and the three-Quarter sleeve, which is
very wide at the bottom, usually being

With comparatively small altera

niece, full.length sleeves and the long
three-quarter sleeves are still worn
but the very short elbow-length style
has quite gone out of fashion, except
in the dressiest of evening gowns.

What Shall We Do with Sins

Honestly confess 1t. Do not de-
ceive yourself by saying that it has
no reality. You know better.
Take Gods side against 1t. The
impenitent man takes sins side
against God. He justifies or excuses
himself We must fight God on the
side Of sin or sin On the side q
God. Which shall 1t be?~ wen
during the French revolution the
Bastlle was taken by the mob a pris-
oner in an inner CELL who had been
there for 80 years, refused to be lib.
Grated He stood in the door of the
dark, damp dungeon and fought away
his friends. He had been there so
long that he began to regard 1t as his
home and his Iiberators as intruders.
And such Is the attitude of men who
have lived for years In sin; they re-
sent honest attempts TO free them
from the power Of their sins, They
fight against their friends. They re-
sist God himself. They prefer to
live In their dark dungeon Of iniquity.
Cease the conflict, friend, on the side
of darkness and slavery and begin the
battle ON Gods side against sin.

Sin stings. The sting of death is

Six Definitions of Sin.
The Bible gives six clear-cut detini-
tons of sin:
|. Sin is the transgression Of the
law" Il John 3;4) The word trans
gression" means to 90 across. Read
the Ten Commandments and the
higher commandment: Thou shalt
love the Lord thy God with all thy
heart, and with all thy soul. and with
all thy strength, and with all thy
mind, and thy neighbor as thyself."
Have you crossed these command.
ments? If so, you have sinned.
2. "All mrighteousness is sim Il
John SID The purpose of Panl'a
letter to the Romans is to prove that
primarily righteousness is right rela-
tioa. We must first get right before
we can do right. Alexander the Great
said to the cOurtiers who brought rich
gifts from Darius: Tell your mas
ter his sword first and then his gifts.
Acts that are perfectly legitimate In
certain relations are hideous sins in
other relations, Righteousness, there
fore, is primarily right relation with
God and with our fellows, and if We
are in wrong relation with God or
men We are SHINING. The purpose OF
the incarnation and death of Christ
is to bring us into right relation with
God and thus make us righteous.
3. Knowing what we ought to do
and failing to do it Is sin. ITO him
that knoweth to do good and doeth It
not to him 1t is sin" Games AID
When we know the right and refuse
to do it we commit sin against light.
Neglected opportunity is sin. Shirk
ing responsibility is sin.
4. Acted doubt is sin. "Whatso-
ever Is not Of faith is sin" (Romans
1929 If you have doubts as to Ger.
tain amusements, indulg"nces or
transactions, refuse to have anything
to do with them until that doubt is
cleared away. More light may re-
move the doubt, and you may proceed,
but while doubt remains it is sin for
you to indulge,
5. "The thought of foolishness Is
sin" Proverbs 24:9) There are
more than 80 different kinds of fools
described in the Bible, but it is evil
dent that the species referred to in
this text is the fool who says in his
heart there is no God. For man to
say that, IS intellectual sin.
6. Unbelief Is sin. Jesus says in
John 1873, when the Holy Spirit is
given, He will convict the world Of
sin because they believe not on me-"
A refusal to trust the trustworthy
Is a mean sin. To intimate unbelief
as to the honesty of an honest man,
the truthfulness of a truthful man or
the purity Of a. pure woman is the
climax Of meanness. But an intimation
of unbelief as to the faithfulness of a
faithful God is degree lower in mean
ness.

The SlGo.oC0.oo0 for national aid
would give about $500 mile. or about
- per cent OF the average cost OF
building hard roads upon these high
ways.
After ten years OF study OF rood
building ut home and abroad the writer
has reached the following definite con-
illusions:
First - That II we are TO have good
roads within generation the federal
government must assist I'm building them
Sccond.-That the government contribu-
ton Ice pro rated among the states rs
the work is done on the basis OF one-halr
the gross sum upon tho full road milea re
or the state and one-half upon the basis
OF population The plan works out fairly
TO all the states. This plan would make
available out OF 500. coo. 600 Approximately
s1o.oooOoO for New York. Se6oc0.O0O for
Pennsylvania. s22.o00.Oco for Illinois SIS
10000 for Ohio. $l3.oOo.ooo for Michigan
etc.
Third That the actual construction OF
the roads should be done under state su-
perNiston upon specified lions approved by
the United States government engineers.
Fourth.-That the initiative should be
left with the respective townships road
districts or parishes. these TO furnish at
least one-third OF the total cost with the
state clothed with power to veto any i'm
provemcnt II OF insufficient importa nee.
This power would probably be seldom ~
ever used. IL may be assumed II the road
was not main highway ana needed the
people OF n township would not vote TO
build IL when they had TO raise at least
one-third OF the money required To do so.
Fifth.-That ~ this country Is to fulhli
It's high destiny and meet the require
ments placed upon II by it's wealth. posi-
ton and its opportunity good roads ARE a
paramount necessity. and to get them
speedily requires both federal and state
aid 10 heartcn the people to undertake
this great work. Good roads will do more
for the educational social and economic
development OF the whole country than
any other single agency.
