k/D NOT let the dear Lord be
second. He is a Jealous
God. II he cannot be first
he will not be second"
These words came from the pen of one
VINO lives in touch with God. May
they sink deep into the hearts of each
n who reads them. 1.-THE Lord, thy
God, is a Jealous God" He wants u
time, our love, our all. He wants to
be first in BUR hearts-"he will not be
second"
Let us examine our hearts; as
Christ first in my life? Do l think of
him more often than of any one else?
Do | love God supremely? DO l take
time to commune with him as often
as should, or am l absorbed In other
things? Is my business of more i'm
p~ortance, my success in a financial
way more to be considered, my repu-
tation among the people, my appear
ance?"
0 dear friends, God Is a Jealous God;
he wants our all. Since he has been
so merciful as to redeem us. SO long
suffering as to bear with US, so loving
and so good as to are for and pro-
tect US, should we not let him be
first?
Unworthy Mode Of Life.
One Of the saddest things on earth
to my mind is to see some one pro-
Tossing to be a child of God, saved
sanctifed, yet living so much for
self, and SO close to the world that
one a scarcely tell whether he is a
saint or not. He leans az far toward
the world as he dare on the line Of
dress while he Is among the children
of God, his conversation is nearly al
ways light and trifling, one seldom
hears him speak of God; he lives this
kind of life year after year, seemingly
making no progress, yet still saved
and sanctifed."
Beloved, should this thing be? All
eyes are turned toward the church of
God. The people are looking to us
for an example of Christ. We tell
them that God dwells in our hearts.
Oh, let us then show him forth in our
lives; for If they look and are disap-
pointed they may give up hope and
think: 1T Is all a farce. God is not
In their lives" What a responsibility
rests upon us that we live so close to
the Lord that people may be con-
WINGED that God reigns in our hearts!
Time to Throw Down Ones Idols.
If you are one who has been put
ting God second, l would warn you for
Christ's sake to throw down your
idols, for God is a Jealous God and
will have no other gods before him.
Shame! shame, on the one who would
be so %ungrateful as to serve God In a
half-hearted way since Jesus has loved
him so much as to suffer and die for
his eternal salvation!
How Gods tender heart must bleed,
as it were, how often must he grieve
when he beholds men and women of
his creation, even those for whom he
has manifested such unfathomable
love in blotting out their sins and ma
king them his children, seemingly for
get the debt of love they owe to their
Saviour. Sad 1t Is, indeed, but sadder
yet is the thought that sooner or later
God will "spew them out Of his
mouth" and in that great day when
the book shall be opened, those names
which were once so fair, are found to
be blotted out.
God is a Jealous God. Some choose
not to make him first, but The will not
be second."-Agnes E. Tuttle in Sab

Present for Mother.

A very dainty basket of twigs may
be made by children, quite easily, and
If 1t be lined with moss and filled with
sweet flowers it is just the most de-
lightful present possible to set upon
a table for mother to find.
If the twigs are not supple enough
to bend, as you begin weaving them,
dip them In water and then twist them
round and round in the form of a
nest. Prune any messy branches or
pretty twigs from the trees to make
the nest basket, and if you prefer you
may fill it, instead of flowers, with
candies, fresh fruit or country eggs,
and send it as a gift to a sick friend.

Evening Gown.

A charming evening gown by Agnes
Is a combination of black and white
chiffon, says the New York Press.
This is arranged over a foundation of
white lace, which forms a panel in
front. The bodice is cut in a low v
both back and front. This Is filled In
with lace to a becoming height. The
waist line of this gown has resumed
its normal position. A brilliant touch
of ruby velvet is knotted over a rhine
stone buckle on the girdle.

shape, with small dome-shaped crown,
was bound about the edge with black
Brussels net which extends in a fold
an inch and a half beyond the brim
edge. Just inside this fold are two
rows of val, lace about two inches
wide. This is laid in narrow side
plaits, and one % overlaps the other
slightly. This inside row is finished
with a close set wreath of tiny June
roses. A standing spray of roses, or a
bow of velvet ribbon could be used
with this brim treatment for the ad-
dition of height with good effect, al
though the model had no trimming on
the crown.
