Logical Millinery.

People say there is no reason, no logic, in Easter millinery. What a falsehood."
 The speaker was George Ade. He continued (the occasion was an after theater supper in Chicago):
 Hats, whether Easter or otherwise, are full of logic, full of reason. A little boy said'to his father one day:

 That father logically and reason ably replied:

Association of Charities.

On Tuesday night, Oct. 18th, the first semi-al nual meeting of the Association of Charities was held in the Masonic Hall. The attendance was not large but an enthusiastic meeting was held. Particular attention was given to the reports of the treasurer and of the Investigating and Relief Committee. The former reported a small balance on hand and the latter gave an itemized account of all the help the Association had given since it's organization. Not all who have applied for as- sistance have received it, for some were turned away for lack of funds.
 The Association wishes to have the cooperation of more of the citizens. The funds of the As sociation come through an init. ation fee of fifty cents and monthly dues of twenty-five cents. If the membership can be about twice what it now is, and all will keep their dues paid up, we shall be able to attend to all cases of worthy charity and no individual donor W T miss what he has given and will have the satisfaction of knoNin , that the application was passe l upon by a good committee as to its true worth.
 Membership in the Association IS open to women as well as men. Winter, with all of It's calls, will soon be upon us and we hope to do the worthy thing for all of our less fortunate fellows. Mrs. J. II. Stack or Mrs. Jake Lamm will gladly see that you are properly enrolled in the Associ- ation if you wilIonly express that desire to them. The help of al is needed in this good work.

 II. JESUS THE rRcvIDER (yv 1-1o, of. Matt. 15:32-3S.)
 The tremendous stir Jesus caused is graphically suggested by Mark in verse one of this section. From fal and near they had gathered and now at the end of the third day their small supply of food Is exhausted. We are told by John (6:26, 27) why they had followed him, stil they were deeply interested in him and considered btn to be prophet fJ0hn 6.14). Never theless Jesus was moved with [ com passion then, even as now he is moved when he behoIds us in ours unworth. incss.
 No Hunger Too Great.
 The compassion of Jesus is a very active principle, 1t does not consist of sighs and lamentations, or of investi. cations and condemnation of 5condi. tious. His compassion causes him to net. But the. disciples are aghast at his suggestion that he feed this null. titude of ''about four thousand.' . Whence shall one be able to hll these men with bread" (R. VI? On the Oth- CT occasion Jesus had asked Philip, who lived in the nearby town of Beth saida, where they might nnd breAd; but now they are in a desert place. It may seem strange for the disciples to ask such question. He had fed a larger number with smaller resources.
 After taking stock (v. 8 Jesus com mands the people to lit down. He received their seven loaves (v. 6l and brake and gave. first to the disciples. and through them to the people. Such IS they had, first given to him. respond ing to his touch, was enough and b spare (v. S). When we give him our all he will bless. multiply and use.
 Our Golden Text (v. 37) is suegestive of wide application in teaching this lesson. We have in this lesson two incl dents as illustrations. In both we can see those principles that govern his life and ministry, viz. unyarying loy. salty to God and unwsafyiag oonnpaa- sion for poor, weak humanity. As has already been suggested. we also rec that the methods of Jesus varied, ac- cording to the individual need and al- ways with the unswervlng purpose If glorifylng God The same lesson of careful conservation of what remained 's taugh. as in the case Of tho feeding Of the five thousand.
