Keep us, on the one hand, from the

that we may be glad.
May we be charitable in thought
and generous in deed, white souled

May NE be straightforward and un-

Help us to love and laugh and give
as we loved and gave and laughed In
childhood. And so lead us that we
may be mean to none of Thy children.
KEEP us in the ways of temperance

us that we may take the time to do
the things that we ought to do and
that we may not do the things we
ought not to do.
Forgive us our waywardnesS and
forgetfulness and the deceit that is in
us and lead us into the serene and
blessed ways Of peace.
May that which is good in US be
made stronger and that which Is bad
in us made weaker.
And save us from 'pessimism and

Trust and Wait.

The Bible commands us to not onIy
trust in God, but to wait for Him To-
do for us what He has promised to
do. Tho trusting and the waiting
are linked together. A. trusting which
is not accompanied by Willingness to
wait for Gods time of delivering us
from trouble, or for giving us what
we must have as d necessity, is q very
poor kind of trusting.
In all true trusting there Is an
element Of patience, and the strongerl
the trusting is, the more patient Is
the waiting. The weakness Of much
Of our trusting in God is that Of sim-
patience. We are apt to be In; too
great a hurry for God to fulfil Fila
promise Of help or deliverance, We
can trust for a short time with q feeI+
ing of safety and satisfaction, and
then, because the help does not come
to US as soon as we desired or ex4
pected it, we allow impatience tp rule
US and make us miserable. VS. then
fear that God has either forgotten U.s.
or else we will be left without His
aid, His <promise having failed.
Isaiah says: II will trust, and not be-
afraid. While he was trusting no.
was not afraid that God would leave
him to trust In yaina and SO be pa
tiently waited for Godlto grant him
the needed d~eliyarance or the neces.
sary support.
Think Of AbFaham's long waiting
for God to give him the son of prom.
Use. When God told him that Has
would give him atson he at once trust
ed in that promise. The basis OF hia
trusting was the revealed word OF
God. He not only beloved that 10
was God who made the promise, but
he trusted in Gods !unchangeabless
veracity, and also In His abilityst to do
just what He promised him. And he
continued. to wait for the fulallment
of that promises and he had to wait
vastly longer than he, at first had any
idea that 1t would be necessary for
him to wait. It seems that hel got
discouraged some Of the. time, and
there is nothing strange about this
assumption; but he allowed nothing
to destroy his trusting, even when
natural. conditions were hopeless
And If we he very strongIin trusting
God we must be long patient In wait-
ing for Him to deliver us In His own
way.-C. II. Wetherbe, In the Ex-
aminer. "a

Refining the Day With God.

My voice shalt thou hear in the
morning, o Lord. in the morning
will 1 direct my prayer unto Thee,
and will look up.-Ps. 5:3.
The morning prayer chimes in with
the Joy of creation, with the quick
worli as it awakes and sings. 1t
ought to bind itself up with the ris-
ing of the sun, the opening Of the
flowers, che divine service of the
birds. The voice of the world is
prayer, and Il morning worship
should be in tune with it's ordered
Aymn of praise. But in JOY We
should recall our weakness, and ask
His presence Who is strength and
redemption. so that JOY nay be united
to watchfulness by humility. Sucn a
prayer is the guard of life.-ReV.

John Thomas, a woodchopper, was
carried four miles on the back of his
brother Frank out Of the woods to

his life was saved. The brothers were

MY THANKSGIVING.

T have walked amid the shadows,
Scarce could see the CLEAN of light 2
Shot across the path Of darkness,
In. the gloom Of sorrows night.
But amid the tempest raging,
Ever walked a Friend with me;
God be praised, that Friend has ever
Been the Man of Galilee.
I have felt life's keen affection,
I have walked beneath the rod,
But He crowned the year with goodness
And I've found new faith in God.
God be praised, for this Thanksgiving
And the lighthouse by the sea,
With its CLEAN cross sorrows waters,
And my Friend of Galilee.
Life now means q larger service,
Else the sorrow and the pain
Would have lost their deeper meaning,
And life's loss exceed its gain;
So I come, this glad Thanksgiving,
From beneath the CLOUD and sea"
With a larger life and service
For the Man of Galilee.
And I bring, this glad Thanksgiving,
Loves sweet incense to His shrine,
And a life that says, while trusting,
"Not my will be done, but Thine,
Onward, forwsrd, this my purpose,
Till l reach the narrow sea,
And cross o'et to meet my Brother
Meet the Man of Galilee.

Have you seen the shade known as
"old red?" 1t is one of the popular
coIors so far in small things. 1t Is at
its best in millinery. 1t is a curious
tone between raspberry and tomato.
There Is another hue verging on req
currant. 1t is rich and delicious.

The "old red" on the other hand, is
more effective on a decided blond, the
kind with no red in her hair.

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS OF IT.
 "l DREAMED.

I dreamed, and To, it was Sabbath eve. within a church stood, Secluded from the busy world, and sheltered by a wood, It's altar filled with mourning souls, the young and old were there. And one and all together sang this old familiar prayer:- Show pity. Lord. Lord, forgive. Let a repenting rebel live, Are not Thy mercies large and
 free.
 May not a sinner trust in Thee? My heart was full, I wept with joy, they had not sung in vain; For God was in that holy place. and souls were born again; The congregation deeply moved, their earnest prayer removed. Another hymn of ancient times, they sang in tones subdued. Am l a soldier of the cross, A follower of the lamb; And shall fear to own His
 cause
 Or blush to speak His name? The scene was changed, and as l passed along the sea of time, The church of God, with one concert. from earth's remotest cline. United at the self-same hour, in lofty strains 10 raise One loud, ecstatic burst of joy. one glorious hymn of praise. O. for a thousand tongues to sing. My Great Redeemer's praise. The glories of my God and King. The triumph of His Grace. Then swifter than the lightning wing in air l seemed to rise. And in my dream voice l heard that filled me with surprise. ." "'Tis done" He cried. From Heaven and earth one raptured chorus broke.
 And with that universal shout, l from my dream awoke.
 There'll be no sorrow there: There'll be no sorrow there; In Heaven above, where all is love, There'li be no sorrow there.

BLACK IN GREAT VOGUE. Velvet Is Also Used for Street Wear
 fo wide Neor>e

Black does not, Of course, have things all its own way in the province of the velvet street costume. All of the dark colors which have enjoyed a vogue this winter are well represented. crows wing blue. and various other dark blues. the intensely dark greens. and a certain rich but almost black purple all having their share of popu- larity.
 There are lighter colorings, too. some good dull blues which are most charming with chfnchilla and silver or with dark fur and gold. an occasion al rose tone not too light. several ad mirable grays and gray browns and a few of the medium greens. For cere- monious afternoon functions, theaters. etc. you even see very light shades oc- casionally. usually toned down by fur; but these are impractical frocks adopt ed only by the extremists. and are at their best on the young girls A pret- ty one-piece and coat velvet costume was in one of the silvery old blues embroidered in self-color and with col lar and close cuffs of dark fur.
 Evening gowns in black are bright ened by jet, crystal. gold or a com bination of some two of these. but the black evening frock has always been more or less popular. and it is in the afternoon costume that the vogue Of black is impressive.
 In the colors for evening wear there is such variety that it would be hard to pick out dominating tone. There is much white and silver and white with gold The very pale pinks and some of the rose tones are well liked and several of the yellows. a genuine gold tone in particular, have achieved decided popularity.
 Spangles of all kinds are much used. though the more delicate effects of dew-drop. bugle tracery, etc, are more modish than the Amazonian paillette order of adornment. Tn this fact lies the explanation of the fact that, with all their glittering and metallic trim mings, the up-tO-date evening frocks have a refinement that was not at tached to the Old-time Daillette em- broidered model. When bold massed effects are employed now they are worked out as embroidery design in stead of assuming the coat of mail or fish scale aspect of an earlier day. Chicago Tribune
