NEW PASTOR GIVES
HIS FIRST SERMON
Rev. II. r. George Discusses Respons-
Utilities and Opportunities
of the Church.

The Church's Responsibilities and
Opportunities was the subject of the
inaugural address delivered by Rev
T. r. George. pastor of the First
Chruch of the Brethren Sunday morn
ing.
Mr.. Georges sermon was in the
form OF a practical talk 10 the men,
bers of the church In which he told
Of the manner in which he was 70 ac-
complish his work in his new field
He came 10 this city from Burr Oak,
Kan. where he has been for the past
five years.
In speaking Of the responsibilities
the church owes TO the community in
which il Is located he said: Every
congregation owes a warm welcome to
the members and friends of the
church. Each person who enters the
church should receive a warm hand
shake before he leaves the edifice.
There never ought 10 be a stran-
ger leave a church even though he
he should leave il with new friends
and a hearty welcome TO attend again.
Practical religion and sermons on
il is a duty that every minister owes TO
his congregation. There is as much
or more strength in practical talk
at certain times than in any other
kind. The influence and value OF
family religion is greater than any
other religion. Through this influ-
ence that Is received from the home
the greatest religious movements have
been started"

PUBLIC OPINION
IS BACK Of LAW
Jeremiah, Says Rabbi CrOn-
bach, Was First Man to Per-
Ceive Idea That People Can't
Be Reformed by Force.

'Iaw-making does not accomplish
reform. which requires the support Of
public opinion. Unless the people are
in sympathy with a law. the fact that
the law has been passed is Of small
importance. as it will do no good in
remedying the evil"
This was one OF the significant
statements made by Rabbi Abraham
Cronbach in his Sunday morning ser
mon at Temple Bethel DR.. Cron-
bach spoke on jeremiah. the discourse
being the fourth and last Of a series
on the Prophets of Israel
jeremiah" he said, scored the
idea that people could be reformed by
law. jeremiah was perhaps the first
man in history 10 perceive this fact
His wisdom is good to the present
hour. You cannot remodel the world
by law-making, as the best law max
ing imaginable is worthless unless
supported by public opinion.
The masses of the people must have
character and intelligence. A law is
nothing more or less than a kind of
an agreement in which all the people
are participants. No agreement will
stand unless all of the participants
are faithful
ut would surprise you how many
unforeseen laws we have. This clean
up week which b, gins in our city to-
morrow is to a large extent but an at
tempt 10 induce people to obey various
municipal ordinances which have been
violated
Rubbish and litter are both a
health menace and a fire menace.
Rubbish is thrown on the streets and
in vacant lots even though there are
laws against it; empty boxes and
waste paper are allowed to accUmu-
late even though there are laws
against it,
Anything for civic good belongs in
church, because civic good is the start
ing point for spiritual good. Vile
surrCunc '1gs are going to make vile
souls. Therefore, in the name of re-
ligion. clean up. Judaism has, from
times immemorial had its annual
cleanup days"

NONE ARE TOO POOR
TO BE CHRISTIANS
Rev. III. b. HOstetter Discusses Things
Necessary to Be a Fol
lower of Christ

"a great many of the people of the
world lament the fact that they can
not give more or do more for the
cause of Christianity, but in all the
world the most precious act to do is
the sacrifying of love to God and no
one is so poor but he can give Him
that" said Rev. II. b HOstettler. pas
tor Of the Westminster Presbyterian
church last night in a sermon on the
subject, Three Things Necessary In
order to Be a Christian"
"Self-denial of earthly pleasures
and the willingness to denounce the
sins of the world and give services to
the good of Christianity are important
factors that must be possessed by the
Christian.
I'm the olden times the cross was a
symbol of crime and shame but now
when we bear the cross we must go
through the great amount of ridicule
and persecution. A Christian is one
that will gladly leave the easy couch

SACRIFICE DEPENDS ON
CONDITION OF MIND
Christ is Recrucified by His Children
Says Rev. George W.
Allison.

THE Acceptable Sacrifice" was the
topic of the sermon at Hope Presby-
terian chapel yesterday morning by
the minister, George William Allison.
The acceptance of sacrifice is always
conditioned by the heart of the wor-
SHIPPER" said Rev. Mr.. Allison. The
emphasis was placed upon personal
and sincere religion rather than upon
mere form and ceremony and habit.
I'VE find Cain and Abel engaged in
sacrifice-a practice as old as the hu-
man race, each striving to win the
favor of God. But pricked by the fact
that the younger brothers sacrifice
was accepted easily, Cain, ridden with
jealousy, in a rash moment kills his
brother, and then flees. The divine
voice however calls him, Where is
thy brother?' And the answer comes,
L know not! Am / my brothers
keeper?'
"The curse of Cain is then pro-
nOunced and he becomes a vagabOnd
and a fugitive in fear of his very life.
And cries out in his agony of soul, My
punishment is greater than l can
bearl' But he is marked TO exempt
him from the almost inevitable retail
iation by faith Abel offered a more
acceptable sacrifice than CAIN writes
one in the new testament
Are we not each in the position
of Cain? Does not the race stand in
dicted and condemned of the murder
of the only one who offered up the
perfect sacrifice? Does not the very
blood of this murdered Christ cry out
to God for forgiveness of our sins?
If we retain our sins are we not
forced to cry out, My punishment is
greater than I can bear? To ali of
us then there comes the question of
old. Where is thy brother? And no
matter how we may protest that we
are not concerned with the death Of
Jesus. still His blood cries out TO God
asking forgiveness for even those who
cruelty Him afresh."
In the evening a series of beautiful
colored slides were shown under the
title THE Message of Nature" in
Guiding many scenes of the Yosemite
Valley as we'll as other beauty spots
Of the world. other slides were shown
TO enforce the point that where nature
is most beautiful, yet it is insuffi-
cient for mans worship. and must
needs be superseded by the Bible as
the revelation of the true God in all
his fullness.

as these views develop the duties and
responsibilities connected with them
gradually increase in life. There are
many duties that we must distinguish
between, in order that we know which
duty needs the most attention. We
have duty TO mercy and charity
which we must observe TO become
Christians. The man with no mercy
and in no way charitable is far from
the kingdom of God. We have a duty
to justice in that all things that we do
and attempt TO do must be done in
the name of justice.
Love, is one of the duties that we
owe to God above all others. The du-
ties of Love and law are closely link
ed together. We have the law of God
and the love of God as well as love of
earthly beings and the law to be found
on the earth. There is no conflict be-
tween any of these duties. A man can
fulfill any of these duties and not be
conflicting with any other.

to give mercy to the outcast or rather
eat an honest crust than dishonesty
eat at the head OF a banquet table. He
must stand 10 the Christian faith and
do so by cOnfessing his love for Christ.
The cross OF a Christian points in
three directions-down, out and up.
The point down shows the old life
which is dead and abandoned The
point extending outward opens TO the
life of unlimited growth and service
to the fellow man. while the part of
the cross pointing up tells of a life OF
communion with God and everlasting
heaven"

Rev. F. K. Dougherty.

The one conflict that is connected

Chianti bottles, ginger jars and gold fish globes make excellent vases. They are simple and good in their lines and furnish an attractive setting for all most any flower.
 Another common mistake in arrang- ing flowers is to overcrowd the vase. Never bunch flowers. Each should be put in the water separately to insure a good effect. A long strip of lead coiled to fit the bottom of vases Is the best device for keeping the flowers up right. It is not so expensive as the china or wire arrangements that can be purchased for the same purpose, and it has the further advantage of be- ing nalleable and easily squeezed into ,, a vase of any size.
 A pretty device for flowers is the Aarons rod to hang on the wall. This is merely stick of bamboo with holes cut between the joints. Water Is poured into each opening, and the flowers then set in Trailing vines clenatis, honeysuckle, etc.-are ex- ceedingly pretty in an Aaron's rod.
 Hanging vases for the windows and corners of the room are very attrac- tive and are to be had in good colors and lines at small cost.

NOVEL USE FOR A CLOTHES BASKET

sheer muslin or point d'esprit or plain net shirred with heading along the top to hide the top edge of the basket. It is a little troublesome to stitch this into place, but you soon learn to find the spaces in the woven wicker, and heavy thread and a carpet needle will do the rest.
 The pillow should have it's ordinary white linen or cotton slip, which can be removed every day when the pillow is lifted out to air. A rubber and quilt ed mat will protect the pillow, and all can be frequently lifted and renewed. The advantage of such basket is that the baby is protected from draft, and yet the basket is easily carried from one room to another or to the porch if necessary. The outside of the basket Is better left uncovered because it would soon get musty and dirty from usage, and the heavy willow is sufh- ciently ornamental in itself.

IF you do not want to go to the ex-
 pense of a bassinet that baby will soon outgrow it is good idea to utilize an ordinary clothes basket, which may be turned over to its original use when baby is ready for a crib. It pays to get good quality wicker, for if ham, dies give way the contents will come to grief. Select good size, too, large enough to accommodate an ordinary bed pillow snugly fitted in for a mat tress. The sides should rise high enough above the pillow on the sides to keep Master Baby safely ensconced.
 Line the basket with double layers of cotton wadding and after basting this in place cover 1t with pink. blue or white satin or cambric lining. The bottom of the basket should be put in last to cover the rough edges of the sides. Now the basket is ready for the third and last covering, which may be

-oper Arrangement of Flowers

the matter of vases. A vase should be considered always in connection with fowers-not as an object of art by it. self. Vases of distinctive colors should be used carefully-a neutral tint, green or glass vases are safest.
 If you have vases of very positive shades use them only for flowers with which they will harmonize. Yellow pottery, for example, is lovely if filled with yellow flowers or with combina- tion of blue and yellow flowers. Low yellow or purple bowls filled with pan- Lsies are delight to the eye.
 Do not hesitate to dispense with ornate vases and substitute for them the most inexpensive of flower holders. A gray ginger jar filled with dusty miller and sweet alyssurn is thing of
 beauty. The shindmering silver gray of the foliage and the white of the blossoms harmonize perfectly with the soft gray jar. On the other hand, the
 most expensive of vases, in itself beau tiful, may have it's beauty nullified by
 an inharmonious arrangement of flow CTS.

Inews for those of us who like the fabric.
 There does not pass a season that there is not some sort of struggle when the frock comes to the part of the body which is supposed to mark a dividing line. Cheruit does not want a dividing line marked out definitely on the frock or coat, and Premiet and Jen- ny seem to delight in placing the belt where it was in other days.
 | In the centerSof the cut are two views of gown showing the new princess lines front and rear. This, with, of course, manifold variations, shows the trend of the autumn styles. AS can be seen, the skirt portion is cut moderately f1aring and is joined by means of stitching to bodice portion, which is cut with long tab in front, upon which buttons and buttonholes are applied to effect the closing. Motifs of braid and buttons confine the fullness at the waist line in front, and sash of satin backed velvet ribbon outlines the waist at the back A haring collar of tulle is used at the neck.

: The Latest Fashion Hints

| no you remember that delightful silk D braid in loose basket weaves that was used for trimming a number of years ago? Well, it is, again in fash lion. Rows and rows of it are used to | trim both wraps and frocks. It comes in varying widths. The favorite ar l rangement is to braid a skirt from the hem to just below the knees with al- ternating widths of the braid, some times as many as twelve rows in all being used.
 1 A hint of the drectoire period is seen | in afternoon frocks. The note is mas | culine rather than feminine, but in either event the lines of that period are so attractive that one cares not wheth- ] CT it's masculine or feminine expression 1 is followed Several afternoon frocks also display an 1880 draping at the back, almost suggesting the hustle, only that the fullness is entirely. accom- plished by the material alone, fold upon fold The latter frocks are best made | of stiff taffeta. The back fullness Is then more easily accomplished. Another indication of the return of past fashions is a new dolman wrap quite along original lines. Taffeta in any of the various colors is charmingly
 
 dolman. "Pinked" quilting usually bor- ders the edges.
 That wonderfully successful combina- tion of black and white which promises to become staple is, it is rumored, to have a rival. Midnight blue, which has also experienced an almost unprece- dented popularity, is now being com bined with white, and at first glance one can scarcely detect the difference. So it Is that blue and white in stripes, checks and the combination. of the plain materials in one frock is finding much favor among the really smart. Blue and white, always midnight blue, is also combined in hats and wraps-in everything, in fact, for which the black and white is used.
 Among sports garments Is a most practical, comfortable and smart blan- l<et coat. Indeed, if you have an extra steamer rug at home it would be just the thing for the making of the gar ment The plaids are usually large. The coat is made very loose and along tailored lines. There is also a hood attached to 1t, so that if oue is in the mountains or aboard ship upon a cool day the head can be snuggled into the hood for comfort These coats are not usually lined. being very practical in this respect for knocka bout purposes. Such a coat can be made without a hood, of course, or the hood can be made in detachable form fastening to the neck and shoulders of the coat with buttons and buttonholes.

 their reason being the traditional one that one can doff a coat and be cool in a transparent blouse, but the attached waist must remain. This is true when cloth is used for a coat and skirt, but the fashionable materials of this sum- mer are not cloth, barring the thinnest kind of serge.
