2. You supplement His love. Jesus
was the perfect lover, because He
showed no favoritism. He went
among publicans, sinners, lepers n
beggars without sighting the rich
and prominent. He despaired OF
neither the drone nor the drudge. He
really meant it when He said, Every
one is My brother and sister, My faith
er and mother" He isn't here now
to tell them He will bear their griefs
and carry their sorrows You are.
8. You supplement His salvation.
You are the ambassador of good news,
the missing link between the sinner
and the Saviour. The divine message
must be interpreted by the human
voice. You have that voice. 1t needs
no training in elocution to repeat to q
dying soul Christ's promises.
If we identify ourselves with
Christ's sympathy for others by our
living and dying for them, His expec-
tations of us will never seem despot1c
demands, but ever the longing of one
part Of the body TO help another In its
pain.
Built upon the foundations Of the
prophets and apostles, Jesus Christ
Himself being the chief cornerstone,
you and I are living stones. Just so
many other living stones as we can
bring hastens so much filling up the
required quota Of repeated acts TO
s%elf-denial by successive generations
and individuals.
Your work may not bring forth
the top stone with shoutings OF grace,
grace unto It," 1t will certainly sup
plement what the cornerstone began.
You IAN do much by active effort,
by rejoicing suffering, or by both, to
hasten on the final glory of the tenn
pie of God.

Bravely Protested Against Alcohol.

One American physician whose
great name gave weight for fifty
years to the fight against alcohol was
the late Nathan S. Davis, dean OF
the Medical School Of Northwestern
University, Chicago. He was as
great in principle, and in the cour-
age of his convictions as he was In
medical standing. Well would 1t be
for public health and morals were
there more physicians like him! He
persisted in keeping before the medi-
cal profession the dangers to life OF
free recourse to alcoholic liquors In
the treatment of disease, and he
proved the superiority Of non-alco-
holic medication by the small death
rate which resulted when alcohol was
not used in fevers, pneumonia, and
various other disorders. AS a med
ical teacher for years, he had greet
influence, and many of his students
accepted his views to their W great
advantage and doubtless to the saw
ing of many lives.

The New WraDS,

- striking feature of many of the
new wraps of cloth and messal:ne is
that they are lined with silks in either
pin stripes or polka dot design. Plaid
silk has also attained quite a vogue
for this purpose, particularly if the
wrap be made in black or some dark
color. In the case of the plaid lining
the colors are soft toned and are car
ried out in a large plaid.

POpuI4r Waists,

The white blouse, with rose colored

of the popular waists, and equally

bands Of colored embroidery reaching
from the collar to the belt. Many Of
the new waists show no yoke at all,
nor is the genuine feature prominent.
