SUNDAY SAYS
To KEEP BUSY
TBY GORDON LATHROP.]

Des Moines, Nov. 28.-"If you should
ask me to tell you in one sentence how
to avoid temptation, would say Keep
busy continually for Cod said Billy
Sunday in his sermon from the text:
81 have >sinned against the Lord" If
one should ask a regular attendant OF
the revival meetings to express IN one
sentence that chief thing which W. A.
Sunday requires of himself and OBJ,
serves it is keeping continually busy
for God. Further, though Billy has not
expressed it, it is clear that the only
way for the ministers, ushers, secre'
taries and choir to avoid getting an un,
expurgated rise" out of the evangelist
is to keep continually busy for Billy
Sunday.
The preacher that has packed the
tabernacle night after night for more
than three weeks, through ths force
of his personality cannot tolerate Idle
ness. During the after meeting, while
he was shaking the hand of the l49tn
convert to come forward that evening
and moping his perspiring face with a
handkerchief held in his free hand, II
came to him that the singers behlnd
llIQ were uOI Sl1lSlA6. oASeIo oN~'
thought Billy, more than seventy sec
onds have passed without an lota OF
energy being put forth by those foul
hundred singers. Terrible overhead
expense and tons of machinery lying
idle. What do they mean?"
He whirled on the apprehensive sing
ers, Nothing to do? Humph. Sing
They sang and Evangelist Sunday turn
ed to his business of receiving the
15Oth convert, then the one who press
ed behind and until ITS had come.
The sermon had to do with the story
of David's sin. David, the favored one
of God it was whom Nathan, the
prophet reproved and who cried in his
agony: 81 have sinned against the
Lord one of the saddest stories of the
bible said Sunday. The transgressior

Gods favor and with the vision he hat

New York, Nov. 28.-In the name of
Charity wonderful fete has just been
given-a fashion fete where only
American designed gowns were dis
played. The proceeds are to go to
aid the suffering Belgian women and
children 1t is safe to say that many
families will be thankful to the enter
prising society people in New York
who are responsible for the success
of this fete.
The foremost dressmakers in New
York City displayed their gowns, which
were, designed especially for the oc-
casion, each hoping, by some original
idea to catch the eyes of the fashion

tom to themselves.

repentance.

against repentance.
David's atonement was complete,
however, his repentance absolute and
God forgave him, continued Sunday
Then his sermon took the form of
plea for repentance, defining repent
ance in this manner: Repentance is
change of mind which leads TO
change of conduct with reference to
sin: sin toward God, sin toward man.
whatsoever will may come" quoted
Sunday in approaching that part of the
meeting in which converts are asked.
|"Man pardons here and there" he de
clared in contrasting Gods judgment
and mans Judgment, "but no man goes
to hell without God giving him a
chance to go to heaven" No matter
what the sin, how black or how many
there may be, God will put them be-
hind his back with re-birth through
faith in the shed blood of Jesus Christ.
This was the meaning of repentance,
when repentance came from the heart,
not merely from the lips.
The evangelist's prayer was longer
than usual. He had more to say to
God, so he used more time. Sundays
prayers cannot be called that, if the
term is correct with reference to the
form of supplicatioE made by other
ministers. He talks to his Father On
this night he said this: Lord, I've got
a letter from Honolulu, way down in
the islands. Whey are watching down
there what work we are doing here,
Lord. They are turning their eyes to-
ward Des Moines. Isn't that great,
Jesus?"
He usually specifies in the prayer the
different delegations that are in evil
dence on each particular night but this
night there were too many to remem-
Der so he said: well Jesus, bless
those that have come in delegations,
those from IndianoN and Winterset
the Bankers Life, from the Register
and Leader, from Highland and from
Drake and the others l can't think Of.
Bless them Lord and speak to them.
Tell them to repent"
On this evening, fully one hundred
men and woman followed the first man
down the aisle to the outstretched
hand of the evangelist without being
urged by any of the personal workers.
Hardly had Sunday made the first re-
quest than tall, stalwart man of about

haste to the front. Then followed boys
girls and men and women of all types,

PROBLEM OF THE WIDE SKIRT.
BY ANNE RITTENHoUsE.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
NEW YORK. October 2s.-The only
way to get a wide skirt Is to buy a
new one, is the feeling of the ma jority
OF women who have come head-on
against the problem of wearing last
seasons clothes and look like this sea-
sons production.
No one can help the other one to an
appreciate extent because each wom-
ans task is different from her neigh
oors task. and she has to work out her
own salvation She may end by dis
carding the whole thing, putting on
her hat and going out to spend what
money she can spare from the house.
hold budget to buy a new suit.
There is no making light of this piece
OF alteration which confronts those
who feel that the times demand the
wearing of the suit one had last win
ter. and ones pride demands that it be
not conspicuously out of the picture
or today. When the French designers
turned that trick in wartime Of chang
ing the cut of the skirt and the shape
or the coat, the dressmakers and tailors
here knew that it meant four times
the orders for new suits that the win
ter might have brought forth had fash
ions remained unchanged, and this has
happened.
1t is easier, however. to arrange the
fronts of the Jacket in order to make
them meet at the neck than to insert
into the skirt that flare at the shoe
tops and that close-fitting yoke at the
hips with it's line broken at its juno
ture with the fullness of the lower
part. Waistcoats, strange to say, do
not play as important part in the
fashions as they promised in Sep
TENDER, SO they cannot be used to
widen the chest measurements of the
jacket. but there are various methods
of turning the average reverse into a
straight line.
Short coats have by no means been
relegated to the shelves. for many OF
the best houses are turning them out
SO every woman need not feel that She
must have long-tailed coat simply
because it is the first choice of fash
ion If her coat has not a belt at the
waist line, nor wide kimono sleeves,
nor small revers that run to the waist
line, she can go on wearing it with
serenity. When 1t has these obstab les
to present style, it must be changed. or
