LITTLE ERRORS THAT WORRY.
How Some Of Them May Be Avoided
by the Home Dressmaker.

1t is usually the little errors in
dressmaking that are the most irri-
tating and annoying to the woman
who does her own dressmaking. The
unlined waist is one of the hardest
garments to fit correctly. When
wrinkles come at the base of the arm
hole, the trouble usually Is that the
armhole has been made too small.
Ii it is, do not cut it out, but simply
snip it with the point of the scissors
to see If the wrinkles are removed.
II the wrinkles are not removed, then
trim the armhole.
If the waist wrinkles at the base of
the collar line in the back, see if your
belt is in the proper place exactly at
the waist line and that the line from
the center back of the belt is plumb.
If you are sure that the belt is cor
rectly placed, then snip the collar
with the point of the scissors at each
side of the center back of the collar
and wrinkles in all probability will
be removed

Methods of Trimming That Will Make

One OF the pretty ways of making

To be explicit, polka dots are in
fashion and frocks in this design are
trimmed with wide bias bands of plaid
or striped material in the same color.

1t can even be carried out in yokes
and stocks; as nets in fashionable col

circle instead of real polka dot, but
II gives the same effect
These nets are put in tiny tucks and
used instead of lace, embroidery or

PLACING a Couch.

Couches are now so much used in
sitting rooms that any arrangement
that has even a spice of novelty
should be welcomed So try putting
the couch in the corner of the room
so that it touches the wall at one end
and behind 1t. At the other end. with
its back against the divan, stand a
bookcase, which is a complete screen
to the couch. The latter piece fronts
out toward the room, so that any one
entering sees the bookcase at once,
and on going farther into the room
the couch comes into view.

SERMONETTE.

"Thus saith the Lord."-One
cannot read the prophecy of
Amos without being deeply I'M
pressed by the iteration and re-
iteration of the phrase: "Thus
saith the Lord"
1t is at once the end Of all
argument and the limit of human
questioning. The words thun-
der forth with challenge to
mankind to either bow before
the message or be crushed and
5 destroyed by the final Judgment
J of the omnipotent will.
There 10 no temporizing on
the part Of the prophet. There
is no effort on his part to modify
his message.
Dogmatism in theology may
not be justified. But it is no
dogmatism to stand fearIessIy
and unfIinchinsIy upon the plain
declarations Of Gods word.
Why should we strive for an
emascuIated message, when the
vigor and fire Of a "Thus saith
the Lord" runs all through
Gods word, from Genesis to
Revelation?
Two qualifications are essen
tiaI in every preacher whom God
sends forth into his service:
First, he must be good listen
err, and in the second place he
must be a faithful repeater.
How can man deliver Gods
message save as his heart has
been still in the Divine pres
ence and has listened long and
intentIy and yearnineIy for the
voice of God?
How dare man after he has
heard God speak, get up and
pare Gods word down to fit the
conceptions, or, rather, the
misconceptions, Of man?
II takes the prayerful heart
and the humble spirit to key the
heart into unison with the Di-
vine nature and fit it to receive
accurately the messages flashed
forth from the throne of heaven.
1t takes the courage of
Daniel, the faith of an Elijah,
and the answering loyalty of a
preacher like Paul to speak
forth the message Of God.
Gods message has never yet
been the popular message, for il
condemns the sins which the
world loves and points the hu-
initiation Of the cross as the only
way Of salvation.
The world is not ready to give
up its sin; 1t is not ready to bow
before the cross and acknowI-
edge Christ as Saviour.
In its last analysis, sin 10 re-
lection Of Christ, for Jesus de.
clared: "This Is the condemna.
ton, that light is come into the
world, and men love darkness
rather than light, because their
deeds we're evil"

The Prophet Amos.-A herdsman proph-
ct to Israel. His native town was Te-
koa, n small place in Judea. six miles
from Bethlehem. AS the meaning OF his
name "a burden'O indicates, Amos was
OF humble rank. and probably never had
any training in the schools of the proph-
cts. but was called from the field to his
prophetic ministry. His period OF serv-
Ice. according to the opening verse of his
message. was during the days of W.
ziah. King OF Judah. and in the days Of
Jereboam. the son of Joash, king of Is
rael." about 792 b. C. He was a con-
temporary Of Hosea, although his min
istry ended with the reign of Uzziah
while that OF Hosea continued through
subsequent reigns. There are three main
divisions to the book covering, 1, dis
courses concerning the nations. 1913; q;
discourses concerning Judah, 2:4-5: 3. dis
courses concerning Israel. 2:6-9:15. From
chapter seven TO close of book. instead Of
q series OF discourses, we have rather n
series OF visions, each of which may
have been expanded into n discourse. In
the first two. God is represented for
giving Israel at the prophets intercession.
In the following visions forgiveness is
seen to be past In connection within
the closing vision, however, we have an
outline of the promises for the future.
