! THE INNER

A SERMON

He that believeyhl on the Son of God
hath the witness n himself. John,
v:1O.
This is an age OF specialities. No
one now would have the presumption
to write book and call it DE Omni-
bus Rebus" {"About Everything").
We know little concerning great
deal nowadays, but most of our knowl.
edge is secondhand and rests upon
the say-so of specialists. We have not
personally investigated and proved,
but take the word of others.
No one has the right to set up his
private opinion on any matter he has
not personally mastered. Ordinarily
no one does it: he bows to "authOri.
ty." There are two subjects, however,
that every one feels thoroughly com.
petent to dogmatize politics
and religion. Socrates used to say
that although no man undertakes a
trade, even the meanest. that he has
not learned, yet every one believes
himself sufficiently qualified for the
hardest of all trades-that of govern
ment.
Likewise every man feels compe.
tent to deliver himself of oracles
about religion.
Almost every one feels equal to ex'
pounding the hard places of the Bible.
Since the Bible is necessary to saliva.
ton, it must be SO plain that he who
runs may read. But food is necessary
to life, yet men have died of strva-
ton. A crank has asserted that the
Bible is SO simple that if copy were
to- drop into the lap of "a Chinaman
who had never heard of 1t he would be
able to comprehend at once what this
man termed 1.-The whole scheme Of
salvation" Strange how greatly
sects differ in their Interpretation Of
this simple book! AS books rise In
the scale Of excellence outside help
is required to understand them. Lid.
don says: Few thoughtful men would
say that it is better to read nothing
but the text of Dante or Shakespeare,
and to pay no regard whatever to the
immense explanatory literature that
has grown up around each of these
great poets. And when we come to
the Bible, which towers far more
loftily above the highest works OF
human genius than do these above the
lowest, this necessity Of guide is
felt proportionately." A man would not
need a compass to sail across the
Chesapeake bay, but he would need
one to cross the Atlantic. 1t is true
that occasionally simple, religious
man, by reason of his very simplicity
Of soul, has such rare spiritual dis
cernment that he is able to grasp at
once the inner meaning OF q passage

FROST CARNIVAL CAR
A CHARMING CHRISTMAS MAS
QUERADE FOR THE Chill
DREN.

Nothing would be more delightful to
family of little people under twelve
years Of age than series OF paper
costumes. Some prefer cambria as
even better for service. Collars of all
kinds may be made of either fabric.
For Christmas nothing could be bet
ter than some costumes of white can
ton flannel made with the flannel side
out to represent Jack Frost and his
delightful and unique winter family,
among whom we find the wee snow
ball man, tiny lad dressed in white
cotton flannel, with snowballs made
Of cotton wool seWed all over his
clothes and huge one fastened upon
the top of his white skull cap.
Sleighbells is little girl dressed In
the same fabric, with tiny silver bells
bordering the skirt of her dress, also
fastened about her wrists and along
the outer seams of her sleeves and
around the rim Of her jaunty snow
white flannel hat.
Queen Frostie wears icicles for trim
mings. This trimming is made OF cot
ton batting, sewed on quite firmly
upon the upper edge, while from the
lower the cotton is pulled down IN
the shape OF icicles, then heavily sprin-
kled with frost powder powdered ISM
glass;. She wears silver crown cut
from silver paper pasted upon bristol
board.
4 Snowflake's dress is delicately COW
cred with silver fringe, and Snowbird
adds pair of wings to her snow-white
costume. Toboggan and Skater and
Coaster and Snow Man are represent
ed by lads dressed all In white, and
It would not happen amiss If good old
Santa Claus, with Mrs. Claus and the
little Claus children, came In quite
Unexpectedly, all covered with snow
and frost, just from the truly north
pole"
Silver, gold and iridescent fringes
and powders such as decorators use
so effectively in dressing Christmas
trees give to all these costumes their
specially frosty appearance.
4 OF course the little frost people like
to dance in very lively fashion, and.
strange as 1t may seem, they must
work vigorously to keep from melting.

For These Things W. Give Thanks.
Thanksgiving day we should all be
able to give thanks to our parents for
these things:
For a clean name, unsullied by Ques-
tionable transactions, honorable in
human relations. II
For an untainted birth. with such
health as purity transmits, and for the
brooding tenderness that guarded and
cherished US before birth and made
careful preparation for our coming.
For wholesome food. sufficient cloth.
ing, and comfortable shelter until our
coming Of age, or during the lifetime
Of our parents.
For education, according to the best
standards Of which they knew suited
to our individual needs and possibili.
ties, and preparing US to earn our
own livings.
For such knowledge Of our bodies
and minds, and such reverence for
them as makes intemperance impos'
sible.
