CHURCH EASILY KNOWN
That Organization Which Is Doing the
Work of Christ Has tho
Only Claim.

Which is the true church? Jesus
said many times, "The Son of man is
come to save that which is lost" He
sent the seventy out to seek and to
save. He gave them a gospel of de-
liverance from bondage, a message
that should free men from their sins
and restore them to their birthright
as the children of God. He came as a
fisher who gathers fish into his net.
He called those whom he chose to
found his church as fishers Of men.
This was the great task of the first
members. The church was known in
Greece and Rome not because of any
claims it made, but because it saved
men to the new life and way. 1t makes
no difference what claims a church
may make today. The world is no
longer interested in such things. 1t
watches the churches, and when 1t
finds a church which is saving men
from their sins 1t cares little whether
its form be ancient or modern, its
baptism immersion or sprinkling, its
creed long or short, its theology con-
sentative or liberal, it knows and feels
instinctively that this is the true
church. the church which Christ
founded, the church where Christ now
dwells.-The Congregationalist.

SCALP ITCHED TERRIBLY

"One evening while combing my
hair, l noticed a few brown crustlike
spots on my scalp and, Of course, 1
thought it was only a little dust that
had settled there during the week.
So | washed my hair thoroughly but
! saw that they wouldn't come out.
Then at the end Of the next week I
washed my hair again, and to my
establishment I saw not only those
few but many more had come. Then
my head became worse and worse. and
my scalp started to itch terribly, SO
that could not sleep nor keep from
scratching my head.
THE crustlike places later opened
and made sores which bled, and they
also itched something terrible. I tried
many remedies but none helped and
instead they made my head worse.
This condition Of my scalp kept up for
a month, and then one day I met a
friend and she advised me to use Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment which 1 did.
In two weeks I was rid completely of
this trouble, through the use Of the
Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I am
never without them, for they are my
most highly valued friends" (Signed)

and the good lady upon whose shout

hard in tightening the burden. Her
philanthropies have been productive
of as much wisdom as marked her hus-

Quently e at evening in the western
sky.
This thought which has SO often
passed through my mind was recalled
by a sentence written by Sir Francis
Younghusband in a book describing
Kashmir: early in September the at
mosphere has been freshened and
cooled by the rains which, though they
fall lightly in the valley itself, are
often heavy in the surrounding noun
tains. The sun is still powerful in
the daytime and the sky unusually
bright and clear. But the monsoon
will often make a few final efforts.
One such day l noted when volumin-
Gus masses of cloud rolled up behind
the Pr Panjal to a height of twenty
five or thirty thousand feet, their west
ern edges aglow from the setting sun
and showing clear and distinct against
the background of pinky blue sky,
while the great main volume remain
ed dark, heavy and somber, with now
and then a split Of lightning flashing
out, and on the far side, away from
the setting sun, threatening t~entacles
stretched out across the valley in un-
availing effort to reach the mountains
on the northern side. Under these
mighty monsoon masses even the
great mountains looked dwarfed and
puny. 1t was a great and final effort
Of that s~tupendous natural phenomen-
or which bears the waters Of the In
dian ocean to beat upon the Hima-
laya."
Nothing could give to people who
have never seen a mighty range Of
mountains a better idea of their ap-
pearance than the great clouds that
pile themselves just above the distant
landscape. The soft, rounded sum-
mits are more beautiful than the sharp
outlines of the mountain ridges, but
the mountains are so often yelled in
clouds that the similarity of effect is
striking and often in the neighbor-
hood Of some great snow covered
range one is uncertain whether it Is
the actual heights or the clouds that
one ~perceives from a distance.

Oddities of Justice.

That the whole theory of penal
codes is practically unsound and OPP
posed to the modern conceptions Of
the relation of the state to crime, is
the contention of Eugene Smith of the
New York bar, writing in the May
number of Case and Comment, the
lawyers magazine. Illustrating the
absurdity and disparity between pen
atty for crimes in different states,
MI. Smith says: THE average sen
tence for perjury in Florida is ten
years, in Maine one year; for larceny,
in Delaware ten years, in the District
of Columbia ten months; the penalty
for arson in Pennsylvania is twice
that Of burglary, but in Connecticut
the guilt of burglary is twice that Of
arson; the guilt of coun~terfeiting in
Ohio is twice that of perjury, but in
Rhode Island the guilt of perjury is
twice that of counterfeiting.

small, that the question is
often seriously asked. 1t may be that
this striking incident, which comes to
the Companion from one who knows
its truth, will help to reassure some
of the doubters.
An old gentleman, living in a quiet
eastern village, had a visit-the first
In many years-from his son, a pros
porous storekeeper in western Canada.
On Sunday father and son went to
church, where they listened to a SER
mon on Christian missions. Through
out the service the old gentleman
was restless.
I'm sorry" he said, as they left the
church. that l brought you here to-
day"
why, father?" asked the younger
nan
I'm sorry" he replied, with a shrug
of his shoulders, that you had to lis
ten to that sermon. l don't believe in
missions. They're a stupid waste of
men and money"
The younger man made no reply at
the time, but when he reached home
he asked his father and mother to let
him tell them a little story.
Object Lesson shown.
"a few years ago." he began, "a
young man left his fathers farm to
seek his fortune in the Canadian west.
He got into bad company, and was
left n day by the roadside drunk and
unconscious.
"At that place, living in a little sod
covered shack. there was a young man
who had been sent out by a missionary
society. He was brave. He loved men
and sought them in the spirit Of his
divine master. He found the drunken
fellow, who had been left by his COM
panions to die from alcohol or ex-
posture, and carried him to his shack.
placed him in his own bed, and worked
W him until he brought him back to
consciousness. Then after he had fed
him, he demonstrated with him for
wasting his life, and prayed earnestly
with him.
Beginning Of New Life.
"Theyoung nan confessed his sins
and sought pardon. His after life
proved the genuineness of his CONVEX
sion. He has become an honored and
respected citizen, and as the world
goes, a prosperous man. He is an Of
ficer in his church, and in order to add
to the comfort Of his aged parents, he
sends them gladly five hundred dollars
a year.
Father and mother, I am that man,
and 1 tremble to think what I should
have been but for that faithful mis-
sionary."
This is but a single episode in the
life of one Of the devoted men and
women laboring in the field of mis-
sions; yet how much it meant-in hap
piness and comfort for the old people,
in the value to the community Of the
alert, efficient, honorable citizen. who
might otherwise have died a drunk

ice, and the assurance Of life eternal

SLEEVES WILL BE FULLER
Everything Indicates a Speedy Return
to the Lines In Favor a Few
Seasons Ago.

There is a tendency, slight at pres
ent, but likely to assert itself and be
accentuated as the season wears on,
towards sleeves fuller below the ell
bow.
Perhaps the l~arge@cuffs are partly
to blame for this, for one must need
have sleeves to fill them out.
But 1t is difficult to place the latest
sleeves in any one period since many
individual models combine points Of
fashion from two or even more Pc
RODS.
There is one sleeve, however, which
has not been copied or adapted and
that Is the "leg-of-mutton," for one
thing at least is certain-the fashion
able shoulder must slope unimpeded
by gather or tuck into the arm, in a
pure outline to form.
Thus the fashions are easily and
quite naturally slipping from n ex
IRENE to another, from the very scant
frocks devoid Of trimming to more
voluminous styles in which the trim
ming Is the feature.

his divorce.
At six o'clock that evening Davis
was in matrimonial chains again, his
partner being Mrs. Lena Huguely, but
this time there was a cake condition
attached to the marriage.
Davis told the jury he and his wife
fell out about sweets. One day he
brought home with him a dozen eggs
and asked her to bake him a cake.
When he handed over the eggs she
slammed them back at him with a
force that smeared his face and ruined

WET CHEMICALS FOR FUEL
inventor Thinks He Has Found Sub
stitute for Coal-Llquid Used to
Heat Boiler.

Darby, Pa.-After working on the
principle for a long time, George
Smith, a well known not water heater
expert, believes he has perfected a
compound that will do away with coal
as a medium for heat.
Smiths invention, which he says
will heat a house at a temperature Of
70 degrees in winter and maintain it
at that in the coolest winter weather,
is an elaboration Of the principle of
heat generation in water by chemical
combustion.
The best units generated play on a
wrought iron boiler, instead of cast
iron, and thus have the advantage Of
heating water quicker, because this
metal is not as thick and yet it is
stronger than cast iron. Once the wa
ter is heated to a certain point it be-
gins to circulate through the pipes.

All the summer dresses have chin

All the summer dresses have chin
isettes or guimps of lace. Models
made of voile or marquisette, or any
of the sheer summer fabrics employ
the lace trimmed fchu and frills of
lace at the sleeves and neck. Heavier
laces are used on silk dresses and on
the long wraps Of satin which are so
useful and so graceful.
1t is the same story of high favor If
one explores the millinery field to
find out what milady of fashion
most admires. With the advance Of
summer and the donning Of lingerie
gowns we may expect to see the
vogue increase in the matter of lace
hats. And it is not likely that laces
will pass out with the summer, for
some of the newest one are superb
when combined with velvet, whose
vogue is just well started. So we may
expect to see them in the models for
fall. In fact the bodice of lace or net
or chiffon is more beautiful than any
made of heavier fabrics and far more
supple and becoming. 1t is the day
of laces and only the morning Of that
day.

TRIMMING FOR LEGH0RN HAT
Garland of Highly Colored Flowers
the Most Appropriate That Can
Be Devised,

A round leghorn seen recently had
a garland of fat flowers applied tight
to the brim near its edge. A band of
blond inserting about eight inches
wide was laid on the brim over the
flowers and gathered in around the
rown by a tight chain of flowers.
This hat was decidedly low, the
crown being hardly more than three
inches. The lace heading stood up
around the crown and was about an
inch higher. Naturally this formed
rather a full ruche, since the insert
ing covered the whole brim and this
edge was corded with French blue vel
vet, which reminds us to record the
fact that touches of blue and other
cclors are often introduced on hats
by mean Of a binding or very small
bow, usually Of velvet ribbon. French

colors most often introduced in this
way. This is a Partisan touch, quite
