The gospel of John far surpasses
the gospel OF Paul. The latter only
finds the beights of greatest spiritual
inspiration at odd intervals. He is
continually dropping from his high
level and suddenly soaring again.
Besides the writings OF Paul, the
only book OF the Bible NJ to be com.
pared with the gospel OF John in

OF Revelation. This. however. has a
defect because OF the animus agains,

Dowdy and Unsympathetic.

Broadly speaking" declares a
prominent English woman. New York
women are dowdy. Imply hanging
skirts and badly fitting coats are as
common as blackberries among the
poorer sections, while the taste of the

Freak fashions from which a French
woman would recoil in horror are &C.
cepted with complacency by the
moneyed matrons of New York. Here
and there in the mad medley of color
one sees an example of exquisite taste,
and it is these rare exceptions, no
doubt, which have given the American
