Service in Heaven.

"They serve Him day and night in
His temple" "And His servants shall
serve Him"
Just what these declarations may
mean in regard to the employment of
the children of God in heaven we
may not know. But they certainly In
dicate that God has something for
His servants to do on the other side
of the river of death. The highway
to service in the kingdom of God Is
not by the ocean liner to the foreign
fields; It is not by the transcontinental
train to the needy home fields beyond
the plains and the mountains, but 1t
is down the death valley to the king
dom of the immortals. There God Is
calling His servants, one by one.
When one has learned the secret OF
service here, God calls him. When
he has completed a certain allotted
work, God calls him. When he has
proved himself true and faithful. God
calls him to a wider service where
there shall be no night and the day OF
usefulness is never ended
And God will there take care OF
His servant, so that the privations OF
service here will be unknown there.
He will spread His tabernacle over
them. They shall hunger no more,
neither thirst any more; neither shall
the sun strike upon them, nor any
heat: for the Lamb that Is in the
midst of the throne shall be their
shepherd and shall guide them unto
fountains OF waters of life. and God
shall wipe away every tear from their
eyes. It will be a magnificent serv-
ice in that nightless land where all
have washed their robes and made
them white in the blood of the Lamb!

: Tho Fashion in Wells.

There is a growing fashion among
the well-known brides to eliminate
the face veil. 1t is doubtful Whether
this is a pretty or dainty fashion.
There is something quite htting
about the cloud of tulle over the race
of ,he maiden as she walks to the
altar. and It's omission as the matron
walks back.
II is only a symbol, but 1t is an
attractive one, and, more than that'
the tulle Is quite becoming to the
face.
The veil in the back is long al
though It is not necessary for 1t TO
reach quite to the knees.
The front veil is fastened with
pearl-headed pins to a coronet' ana
il easily lifted by the maid or matron
of honor who stands next to the
bride. ,
Those who have an heirloom OF
lace which they wish to use should
cloud II with tulle. 1t Is much pret-
tier in this way. The tulle may
be put under it as foundation and
extend beyond its edges.
Real lace is heavy 1t is unbe-
coming over the face. IL gives
weight 10 a costume that should sug-
gest lightness. New York Times.

The Guest Room.

The very simplest guest room that
any one could imagine! The floor
had on 1t a gray rag carpet. The
walls were covered with plain gray
paper, and a black molding joined
them to the ceiling. The narrow, old
fashioned woodwork of window and
door sills made streaks of black, in
keeping with the molding above. The
hangings were gray Japanese crepe.
Many tones of quiet grays," as
said the poet, but they served to
throw into relief odd bits of blue
and yellow Moorish pottery and a
row of blue books. The books were
the point of the whole gray scheme
OF things, for the hostess had covered
them all in blue Holland linen and
had titled the backs on small yellow
pasters.-New York World.

woman; it was just after they had
finished the hour of reading together
which they kept up during the winter
weeks. "Our children are our most
severe critics. And especially with

great deal of their comment that a

THE TRUE LIFE.

FROM THE SWEDISH
Live for Jesusl All the gladness
That may come from earthly things
Equals not one hours enjoyment
Which His blessed service brings.
Live for Jesus! For thus only
Does our life deserve the name.
To thy heart, before all others,
Jesus has a perfect claim.
Live for Jesus! Round His banner
Gather souls. while time doth last;
To His cross invite poor sinners,
Soon the work-day will be past.
Thousands of such wanderers round thee
After peace and comfort sigh,
Tell them of the Friend who only
Can their longings satisfy.
Tell them simply of salvation
Thou thyself in Him hast found;
OF the grace and loving kindness =
Wherewith He thy life has crowned.
Live for Jesusl Life's young springtid,
Give Him, and thy Summers prime;
Live for Him when fading Autumn
Speaks to thee of shortening time.
Give thyself entirely to Him;
Thus He gave Himself for thee,
When He lived on earth despised,
When He died on Calvary.
Give up all for Him, well knowing
Thus to lose is all to gan

Thou for ever rest and reign.

Plump Women Take to Saccharin


Now that certain women high in
society have let it be known they use
saccharine as a substitute for sugar
and to prevent the accumulation of
fat, the use of saccharine may spread
among their initiative sisters. Mrs.
John Jacob Astor few months ago
dropped saccharine tablets from a
gold case at an afternoon reception,
thereby revealing she was a user of
them. Surely, there is no need for
Mrs. Astor to resort to such things to
preserve her figure! However, the
saccharine habit has fastened upon
plump women. Beginning in Paris,
