BEAR TESTIMONY FOR CHRIST.
Duty of the Believer to GIorify the
Master by Means Of His
Daily Life.

The Christian is required to confess
his Master before men, but verbal con.
fession is not all that is required. Let
your light. so shine before men that
they may see your good works"-not
hear your good words, merely-"and
glorify your Father which is in
Heaven.
Good deeds are more vital than
good words. The place for greatest
emphasis is on conduct. Lives of
sterling integrity, broad charity, real
humility, transparent purity-these are
the things that count. The most effec-
tive way to promote Christianity is to
live it. He is the most eloquent
preacher whose life is a constant SER
mon. He furnishes the best of Chris
tian evidences" whose spirit is con-
formed to the spirit Of Jesus. Chris
tians each and all should temper the
moral climate of this Woodworking
it's GOODNESS, cooling it's excessive heat,
soothing its sorrows and cheering it's
discouragements, furnishing living evil
dence Of the power of God unto saliva
ton.

Based on the Apocryphal Book Of
the Song of the Three Holy Children.
S2aAAAnsnAa1dan
Copyright, 1909, by the Author, w. s. Edson)

Based on the Apocryphal Book OF
the Song of the Three Holy Children.
The Book as Part of Daniel.-The Greek
translations of Daniel, like that OF
Esther, contain several pieces which are
not found in the original text. The most
important Of these additions are con-
tanned in the Apocrypha of the English
Bible under the titles of 1.-THE Song of
the Three Holy Children" 1.-THE History
of Susanna" and the History of Bel
and the Dragon" The first of these
pieces is incorporated into the narrative
Of Daniel. After the three confessors
were thrown into the furnace Oan.
1928, Azarias is represented praying to
God for deliverance (SOng of the three
Children 3:22); and in answer, the angel
of the Lord shields them from the ire
which consumes their enemies (23-2O'
whereupon 1.-The three, as out OF one
mouth raise a triumphant song (29-6S),
Of which a chief part 1866 has been
used as a hymn in the Christian church
since the fourth century. The additions
are found in both the Greek texts, the
Xxx and Theodotion, in the Old Latin
and Vulgate, and in the existing Syrlac
and Arabic versions. On the other hand
there is no evidence that they ever
formed part of the Hebrew text, and they
were originally wanting in the Syr1ac
Various conjectures have been made as
to the origin of the additions. 1t has
been supposed that they were derived
from Aramaic originals, but the charac-
ter of the originals themselves indicates
rather the hand of an Alexandrine wri-
ter; and it is not unlikely that the trans
lator of Daniel wrought up traditions
which were already current and append
ed them to his work.

TENNIS COURT GONE
PLACE WHERE "CABINET" WHAN.
GED BALLS, DISAPPEARS.
Will Be Used to Enlarge Executive
Offices Which VIII Cost $4,000
Wife of President Foregoes
New China Set.

Washing ton-The far-famed White
House tennis court, where played the
so-called Roosevelt tennis cabinet"
has disappeared to make room for
the additional working quarters for
the executive clerical, staff. This is
the beginning of the renovation of the
White House and the further improve
ments ordained by President Taft.
Mrs. Taft and the young people have
left for the summer quarters at Bev-
erly, Mass, and in the absence of the
family the task of concealing with
fresh paint and paper and new up
holstery the age of the old mansion
which has sheltered every presidential
family since John Adams day will be
completed.
Each succeeding administration Or
ders a renovation of the executive
residence. Sometimes the changes
made are radical and elaborate
The Tafts, however, have decided to
have it done on a less extensive
scale. The cost of the present i'm.
proVements will be little more than
one-tenth of that incurred by the
Roosevelts during their FIST year in
the White House. Seven years ago
about 100000 was spent in remodel
ing the interior of the White House
proper and in erecting the east and
west wings, including the present ex-
ecutive Office building, President
Taft will expend not more than Sic, 900
for extraordinary improvements in the
main building and $4,000 in increas-
ing the size of the Office. 1t was this
enlargement that doomed the tennis
court
The remodeling done during the
Roosevelt term will be accepted by
the new administration unaltered.
Operations will be limited largely to
the recovering of walls, the reuphol-
STEERING of furniture, painting, decorat-
ing and the purchase of draperies.
Repainting of the exterior in the char
acteristic white will be confined to
patches.
Both in the White House proper and
in the new Offices no attempt at grand
eur will be essayed. Provision will
be made, however, for better accom-.
modations for the scores that flock to
the White House daily to see the
president. A special waiting room
will be provided for congressman and
senators, but it will be in marked con-
trast with the gold-adorned chamber
that congress provided for the presi-
dents use when he goes to the cap
itol at the end of each season.
The presidents efforts at public
economy are shared cheerfully, it is
said, by Mrs. Taft. So far in the di-
rection of simplicity and economy is
she willing to go that her present in
tention is not to avail herself of the
customary privilege of purchasing
china of new design to be handed
down to posterity as ''the Taft set"
She believes she is able to get along
well enough with the dishes already
at the White House.

OBJECT TO ELECTRIC FANS.
Congressman Danish "sawmiII" Noise,
Recalling the DingIey
Session.

Washfngton.-The "sawmill'' noise
that CRATES on the ears of statesmen
when the electric fans in the houses
of congress are in action has been
stilled and will be for all time if the
edict of Elliott Woods, superintend-
ent of the capitol, is not revoked.
Senators and representatives may
swelter and perspire, but the orator
must be heard, and he will have his
way in eliminating what has been
termed a disturbing factor to the
speakers on the floor.
During the consideration of the
Dingley tariff bill electric fans sent
their cooling breezes throughout the
chambers. Trouble developed, how
ever, for when some "long-winded"
orator obtained the floor mischievous
members would saunter over to the
fans and turn on the current and the
resounding disturbance was akin to
the operation of a foundry. The ex-
perience of that session was so un-
pleasant to the speakers that the of.
ficials at the capitol will avoid repe-
tition of it by barring the fan.

THE STORY.

blessed are the ministry and dis.
ID cipline of the trials and Affections
Of life for out of them Is born faiths
song of hope and trust.
So is the child of God able to de-
clare in all ages of the worlds his
tory.
Centuries ago when Babylon was
in the height Of her power, and she
had stretched out her mighty arm
and had crushed the fair Jerusalem
aud had taken her people and placed
them in exile in the country far to
the east, there were three devout
Jews in the service of the king named
Ananias, Azarias and Misael, or ac-
cording to the names given them by
the king and recorded in the Book of
Daniel: Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-
nego.
Now 1t came to pass that the
mighty king, Nebuchadnezzar, had
caused to be made a great image of
gold, which he had set up in the great
plain before the city. And when he
had gathered all the people in that
place, having arranged a great feast
in honor of the image, he command
ed that the people should bow down
before the image and pay it rever-
ence, as unto god.
So it was that at the sound of the
music all the people threw themselves
PROSTATE before the great image
which sparkled and glittered with
supernal glory in the brilliancy of the
MONDAY sun.
And in accordance with the kings
command all the people were gath
cred before the image and when the
sound Of the music burst forth every
one in that vast throng fell to the
ground save these three Jews.
Now when the king had caused II
to be decreed that any who should re-.
fuse to bow down to the image and
worship it should be cast into a fiery
furnace, and when 1t had been report
ed to him that these three Jews had
refused to pay homage to his splen-
did image, his wrath was kindled
nightly and he commanded that the
furnace be heated seven times as hot
as was its wont, and that If these
Jews refused to bow when the music
again sounded, that they should be
thrown therein.
Again the great silence as the null
titude waited the momentous signal,
again the burst of music, again the
prostration before the image, and
again the three erect forms in the

The Higher Path.

Some Christians travel their way by
the valley road, and miss the joys and
privileges of the few who journey on
the crest of the hills. We may tread
the path where the mists of doubt
and unbelief linger, and be weighed
down by the 'dont's" and exactions.
But there is place, If we will but
climb to it, where we may walk so
close to the Masters side that the
clouds of unbelief lie far below our
feet. We can no longer doubt, be-
cause we know wherein we have be-
lieved." We have no longer a sense
Of self-denial over the little things
we have not to do, because we desire
only to know his will and to please
him. 1t is the people of the hills Of
privilege who enter into the heritage.
Peace 1 leave with you, my peace I
give unto you

Senator Penrose,s o.o-i.u

Senator Penrose has always been
the subject of good-natured joking
upon the burr in the accent with
which he answers afirmatively to
roll call in the senate. Invariably,
when his name is called, he replies
with an "O-o-i' that has a distinctly
Irish sound.
There are periods when the flood of
Oratory stops for a time and the
senate is permitted to act upon GER
tain schedules, and then Mr.. Penrose.
with every other member of the
finance committee, exerts every effort
to make haste and adopt the para
graphs before another speech is
launched by an insurgent. When the
senate is adopting these paragraphs
the vote is usually taken viva voce.
The presiding officer says:
Those in favor of adopting"
And then before he can finish stat
ing the question Senator Penrose's
"O-o,i" rings out through the senate
chamber, being as a rule ten words
ahead of the chair.

an suffrage, girls said the speaker,
and score of the sweet young things
gathered close around him. You see,
each one of you girls will get married
and control your husbands vote, as
we'll as everything else. If you don't
marry you will control your brother's
vote, or your brother-in-laW's. So you
see if we let you vote, the first thing
we know we men won't have any
chance at ALL"

pointing through window. Its the
Library of Congress, at least, that's

The teacher of the girls here missed

in her honest Oswego way said she
would have taken him for over 4S.

one-man government for the District

missioners who rule at present.
"And, besides, boys, it is not such
bad government, after ALL" said the

the invitation on the plea of too much
business in the house. TT is popular

BECOMlNGFORM OF NECKWEAR
dea That 10 Largely Copied from the
styles Popular with the
Sterner Sex.

We are getting more picturesque
every day. This is especially true of
neckwcar. There are some women
who cling to starched turnover col
lars and the high-boned, untrimmed
stock because they are becoming;
but many other women take advan-
tage of the pictorial opportunities in
neckwear.
One of the newest fashions is a
duplicate of the old method used by
gentlemen for covering their necks.
A high linen collar with soft finish
is fastened to the neckband OF the
blouse, its points are turned over by
hand in front, and black satin scarf
is wrapped around the collar and tied
In front
1t is best to use satin on the bias.
Any weave of 1t is correct. 1t is usual
ly folded double and stitched so that
it will not roll back and show the
lining. 1t is finished in front with a
loose bow and ends, or precise lit
tie bow, from the center of which
may dangle velvet ribbon, lace frill,
or jet balls.
The most picturesque fashion is to
arrange 1t in this formal little bow
in front and add double frill of
Valenciennes lace down front of
blouse II the lace is dipped in tea
It will take on that Old World color.

BEWARE OF THE MUD SLINGER,
Habit Sometimes UnconsciousIy Ac-
quired, But It Is Always Fatal
to Popularity.

Are you mud Singer? Soon life
is only seen through dark glasses and
your friends are naught but targets.
The girl who would be Mortified to
cut friends throat thinks nothing of
slashing her reputation, which is more
than life.
Why should stabbing a man in the
back be counted disgrace. and stab
bing him to the heart with slander
not raise ripple of disapproval?
What is mud singing? 1t is hound
ing girl who is down; it is mean in
nuendo and ugly filings at rival; it
is spreading instead of smothering a
scandal and unctuous repeating of un-
kind gossip.
The mud Singer cares not whether
her victim is blackened by slime of
the mire of untruth and hatred nor
does ruined life and heart-broken
friends give her reproachful pang
She keeps on detracting every one
who meets with her disapproval, until
she is dreaded by friend and foe alike.
Girls can all too soon get into the
way of mud singing. 1t is easy to
repeat thoughtless, 'unkind remarks,
to impute wrong motives. to tell the
ugly story. but it is an easiness that
makes for hardship all around. The
victim suffers, but not more than the
character of the girl who acquires the
habit Of seeing nothing but evil.
The surest way to be unpopular is
to gain reputation for saying cut
ting things. The very girls who
laugh at them will secretly fear that
they may be the next target and they
will avoid you. They will remember
the mud singers habit after they
have forgot that they found 1t anus.
