Wonaan's Character Often ShopDn
By the Fashion of Her Clothes

There Is proverb 10 the effect that
Zine feathers make nne birds" Would
IL not have been as near the truth TO
have said You can discover the habits
of birds by the kind OF plumage they
wear" What is true of birds is true OF
people, great deal OF a woman's char
acter is unconsciously expressed in her
clothes
The woman who thinks OF little things
about her house. her table or her gar
den will think OF the little things in
regard TO her clothes. She is the woman
who is careful Of details. She may not
have things beautiful around her; she
may select the wrong color and the
wrong material for her dress; but she
can always be counted on to he neat.
Take the woman who never makes
up her mind: she is sure to show it in
the way she dresses. A woman on her
way TO Europe last summer was uDde-

should travel I'm her black or her tan

one may be forty. They are lined with
white or light satin and are jetted and
embroidered simply or deliberately. ac-
cording 10 the taste Of the wearer. sucb

Convention at Christian Church.

At the Tuesday afternoon s session
of the convention of the Minnesota
Christian Missionary Society, A. D.
Harmon of St. Paul gave an address
on the problem of ministerial supply
w. j. Wright Of Cincinnati. followed
with an address on the same subject.
Mr.. Wright spoke of the advantage
and necessity Of urging educated,
intelligent laymen in the churches
to fit themselves for lay preaching.
He suggested as aims for the Chris
tan churches of Minnesota thisy
that every church should be supplied
with preaching. that every church
should have a revival meeting. and
that every church should take an
Offering for state missions.
At the Tuesday evening session
Mr.. Wright again spoke his topic
being ''The Centennial" The move
ment represented by the Christian
churches will celebrate the one
hundredth year Of its existence in
America next October at Pittsburg.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1909-06-30

Mr.. Wright spoke Of the origin and
and early history of the movement.
Thomas Campbell Presbyterian
minister came from the north of
Ireland to Pennsylv ania a hundred
years ago. In those days of bitter
sectarianism. he incurred the dis
pleasure of his presbytery by ad-
uniting Presbyterians to communion
who did not belong to his particular
section of the Presbyterian church.
This led Mr.. Campbell to conceive
the idea that all Christians should
be one. and that the only possible
ground for unity was in simple indi-
vidual loyalty to Christ. Mr.. Camp
bell, in 1909 expressed these prin-
ciples in writing, in the "Declara-
ton and Address. Thus the move
ment now represented by the Chris
tan churches was born. Mr.. Wrigh t
spoke of the growth Of the move
ment to aimembership Of 1900 600.
At the Wednesday morning ses-
sion short addresses on the religious
life were given by 7. ]. Dow Of Min
neap3iS. W. Williams Of .Winona
and F. S. Atwood Of Sleepy Eye.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1909-06-30

Mr.. Adams, a missionary from Bilus-
pur, India, also spoke.
The sessions on Wednesday after
noon and evening were devoted to
the Christian Women's board of
missions. In the evening Mr.. Men,
zies, a missionary from India spoke.
He gave instances of the moral and
spiritual degradation of heathenism
and also of the heroism and faith
fitness of native converts. Speak
ing of the influence of Christianity.
Mr.. Menz!es told how native money
lenders, where he was stationed, had
expressed their willingness to adj
vance money for building purposes
to missionaries, and to lend money
to native Christians without interest
and without note.
On Thursday morning, P. j. Rice
of Minneapolis gave a strong adj
dress on the work of the Benevolent
Association Of the Christian church,
which has orphanages at St. Louis,
Cleveland and Dallae, Texas, old
homes at Jacksonville, H., East
Aurora, N. Y, and in Colorado, and
hospitals at St. Louis, Mo-, and Val
paraiso. Ind.
On Thursday evening w. G. Cal
derwood, secretary of the national
and state Prohibition committees,
spoke. Sketching the history of the
Prohibition movement, Mr.. Calder
wood showed how prohibitory laws
had often failed because their en-
forcement had to be left to those
elected by the parties Influenced by
the drink traffic and in favor of IL.
cense. He also showed how even
good temperance men, once elected
to office by parties lin favor of IL
cense, were compelled to take the
side of their party. or lose office.
The speaker. quoting the words of
Line oln, said that the drink traffic
could only be detroyed by those
Whose hands are free, whose hearts
are in the work and who care for
results" separate party composed
of those against license, was neces-
sary, Those who believe the drink
traffic wrong should not vote with
those who believe it to be right.
At intervals during the conven-
ton, Marion Stevenson of St. Louis,
national Bible school superintendent
gave instructive talks on Bible school
work and methods.
