Question Box

Anonymous--There is absolutely no
way in which you can tell whether you
are being "bluffed' or not. The char
acter Of the person In question is the
unknown quantity upon which the
whole answer depends. 1t Is not a hard
matter to fnd out all about a person,
with a little ingenuity and persistence.
One should never allow familiarites,
and II you are serious, be sure that
you know all about the other fellow" "

the dresses this winter? So. r. r. 8.
Fur OF civct cat and maribou is very
popular, civet cat being used not only
as a decoration for dresses, but for
neckpieces and nuns. Even the hats
are trimmed around the brim with fur.
Anxious One-There are several So
called "cures" for the drink habit, but
| this department can recommend none
Of them. The question lies with the
man himself.
Dot-There is no premium on the hall

in the early morning of January l..
1864. 1t was quite mild in the morn

fakes. What little wind was stirring
was from the south. All at once the
wind shifted TO the northwest and it
came with a rumblng noise, and
could be heard for some distance be-
fore it came. OskalooSa had no rail
roads in those days and the travel
was by stage coach The stage coach
had just left OSkaloOsa with a few
passengers for Pella. They had got

was taken as, the text. "The field is
the world, and the good seed these
are the sons of the kigdom, and the
tares are the sons of the evil ones"
In this text the speaker found an an
swer to three questions which come
to all of us. First how shall we look
hold as to the scheme of the universe.
Sometimes the question is put, rs
life worth living?" Second history
and observation teach us that pro-
gress is the law of life, but how and
by what methods shall we proceed
to best? Thirdly, what of the great
problem of evil in the world? Christ's
customary teaching by parable is H..
Illustrated by the text. He looked upon
the world as fertile soil, field re-
ceptive of the seed sown and holding
not as concrete floor where seeds
may be cast and occasionally gather.
ed up and examined, but with no
possibility of termination or life. So
we should look upon the world as a
place of great opportunities for seed
sowing in responsive soil and recog,
nize in all men their ability to re-
spond to the good and true, not as
having hearts of stone, where seeds
of virtue cannot find Judgement.
What we get out of life depends up
on our philosophy of the scheme OF
the universe. And the good seed,
these are the sons of the kingdom"
| The progress of the race and the king
dom has been and must be brought
about by men. Ever since Andrew
| first found his own brother Peter
the betterment of the world has been
through the sons of the kingdom. Or
CARNATIONS and machinery are inef'
fective to reform, except as they re-
ceive efficiency from men. Christs
attitude toward the great problem OF
evil should be sustaining and en-
couraging. While clearly recogniz
ing the existence of evil never min
imizing or ignoring the terrible pres
ence he never lost sight of the fact
that goodness is both older and
stronger than evil and therefore must
prevail. Another able sermon was
delivered in the evening to young
men from the text, THE Glory of a
young man is his strength"
! The Woman's Missionary Society
had large and enthusiastic gather
ing Friday afternoon at the home OF

The Religion of the Orient at Our
