The Iepers found themselves in the
extremity of physical peril, and tney
called upon God for help. All men at a
time Of great calamity turn instincuvely
TO the supernatural for dehverance. In
the hour of great trial wicked men recog-
nize the existence and ability or Goa.
They call upon God for mercy though IN
the times of prosperity they have no
reverence or respect for His name.
Sometimes the prayers of the ungodly
are answered. All of the ten lepers were
healed, yet only one of them was a good
man. How often men who in distress
cry unto God and are delivered forget or
ignore the obligation of gratitude, the de-
liverance imposed upon them, They go
on their way, like the nine lepers, and
return not TO give glory to God
Ten were healed. but one only gave
thanks. Where are the nine?" The
question teaches that gratitude Is ex-
pected from all. and is an obligation rest
ing upon all. The one ieper who showed

rejoicing. Gratitude never fails of re-
ward.
when gratitude o'erfows the swelling heart
And breathes in free and uncorrupted praise
For benefits received. propitious heaven
Takes such acknowledgment fragrant incense
And doubles all Its blessings
When true gratitude exists it will not
fail to manifest itself.
The one in our narrative promptly
saw that he had been healed he turned
back, and with loud voice glorified God
and gave thanks. His action was volun-
tary, and every expression of true graft
tude must spring spontaneously from the
heart in a spirit of humility.
He fell down on his face at the feet Of

and independently OF what others might
do or think. he came alone.
There were ten cleansed. but there
were not found any that returned" save
would not have made his gratitude less
independently his own.
Had the whole ten returned, glorifying
God and giving thanks. with each 1t
would have been voluntary, humble
and independent expression of gratitude.
Some people manifest appreciation Of an
act of kindness because they see others
praising it: such a spirit has no ele-
ment of gratitude in 1t. 1t is not what
others do in return for mercies. but
what we do. that counts in our lives.
Most men, like these ten lepers, call
upon God in time of great physical dis
tress. realizing that there is no help
from any visible means. they turn to the
invisible power for relief. There is an
innate belief in the existence and ability
Of God. 1t may not be recognized until
confronted by some great aff1iction or
evil. Many have this belief at all times,
but even the hardened sinner In the hour
of dread trial has awakened In his soul
some response to its Creator.
But there is a distress greater than the
greatest temporal affiiction. Leprosy in
the soul is far more dreadful than leprosy
in the body. There Is no remedy for 1t.
except what has been provided by the
Divine Physician who healed the ten
lepers.
He is ever ready and anxious to apply
the remedy to all who seek it.
Oh. that the sin-sick souls of men
might cry to Him as the lepers did.
Have mercy upon us!" 1t is the way,
and the only way. by which men may be
made whole.

There is difference of opinion about

consider 1t too stiff and hard for general

Ike it and use 1t generously.
On the whole, taffeta seems to be more
used than charmeuse or any other mate

made of lace ana net and chiffon.
A great deal os very heavy China silk

Many British Golfers Will Likely In
wade the Z. S. Next Summer.

New York, Nov 10.-The return
from England last week CT a Chicago
golfer with the news that Harry Var
don and James Braid are coming to
the United States next summer is
more than likely to be the forerunner
of many similar announcements. 1t
seems extremely probable at the pres
ent time that American golfers will
have an opportunity to see a number
of leading British professionals dur
Ing the golfing season of 1915.
The war can be set down as the rea-
son why the British experts are likely
to visit this country next summer. II
the great conflict continues until then,
there will be little or no demand for
the big exhibition matches which such
golfers as Vardon, Braid. Taylor.
Duncan and Ray depend upon for
their annual income.
Since the war began the big Brit
ish professionals have played a num-
Der of matches, the major portion of
the proceeds of which was turned
over to the relief fund being raised
by the Price of Wales. but patriotic
Britishers though they are it is not
likely they will continue the practice
all through next year. And at pres
ent the donation of time and money
to sports, especially golf, is being
frowned upon all over Great Britain.
Golfers around London are being Sc
verely criticized for playing their IA
vorite game in these troublous times,
and this feeling is likely to last as
long as the war goes on.
So in view of the conditions in their
native land. an exodus of the leading
Scotch and English professionals to
this country may we'll be expected.
vardon and Ray discovered in 1913
that plenty of money could be made
in the United States by playing exhi-
bition matches. and Vardon seems to
have persuaded Braid to come over
with him next summer.
