JUDGE SORRELLS' INTRODUCTION

In introducing MT. Gross, Judge Sorrells said:
 Ladies and Gentlemen: We have with us tonight MT. Willis F. Gross of Boston, Mass. He is one of the ablest men in that state. and when you hear him you will find he is a man of great sincerity and power.
 "Descartes. the father of modern philosophy, found it impossible to believe what he was taught, he threw away his books. striving to put off all he had learned so he would be free to find the real truthfulness in all of the departments of study and thought. When I hear people given to criticism of things they do not understand I think of what that great philosopher said, and thought and investigated. He said:
 "1 know that I am.' It is not for me to dispute with or cr;ticise these things I do not understand. But I do know that while wealth and greatness may bring influence and power, the simple cottager finds his inspiration within the pages of Holy Writ, and makes it his shield and finds there his peace.
 "The great Psalmist said
 I was young and now I am old, but have yet to sec the righteous forsaken or their seed begging bread. i"
 1 have not seen a Christian Scientist forsaken, and if there is any pessi- mism among them they do not dis cuss it. They seem very happy and very healthy. believe it is their aim and purpose to do all the good they can.
 You will remember that over 1900 years ago there was one who taught in Galilee and He was crucifiei on Calvary.
 T am not Christian Scientist; I am a Methodist. My preacher tells me that the Methodist church is broad enough to embrace all of the religion in the world, and if the Methodist church is not broad enough to en-

 RIGHT THINKING NECESSARY.
 In his Sermon on the Mount. Jesus asked, Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistlesoo' He taught that a good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit any more than a corrupt tree can bring forth good fruit. Right thinking cannot result i'll discord and confusion, neither can wrong think ing produce harmonious results.
 Right thinking is necessary ill every phase of human activity, and the pur- pose of all education is to turn thought into right channels. The diff ference between right thinking and wrong thinking is the difference be- tween success and failure. If this is true of temporal things, how much more is it true of that which is eternal? It would seem that some persons have concluded it makes little difference what one believes concern ing spiritual things provided he is uOnCSl illS UClIe'l. I1o o"S'St, AC ,Ao becoming more generally accepted that something more than a blind be- lief is necessary to spiritual progress and development.
 The relation of right thinking to good health is beginning 10 receive the consideration it should. The principal difficulty here encountered is that it is not so evident what constitutes right thinking in this direction. In music, art, mathematics, etc., it is understood that right thinking means thinking what is true. Thinking Ot discords, imperfections. and mistakes will not help one to express harmony; on the contrary it will prove an insur- mountable barrier to success.
 If one would be musician, he must think music, and the more cor rect his thinking the more satisfactory will be the result In art, beauty of outline and color must shut out all else or the finished work will not be what is desired in mathematics, one must understand the right relation of numbers, if he would gain the answer to his problem
 In matters pertaining to health, too much attention is given. to things that. are to be feared, and too little consideration to the things that are desired. Much of the education along This line, consists in warning people of the dangers lurking onsesery hand. The result is that mental pictures of disease and suffering are ever-present in consciousness,T and the fear result ing therefronl1 lis f'not readily over come. ..s 7
 Why should the effort to preserve or to restore health be made along such different lines from those that

insure success in other directions? Surely the intelligently directed effort which attains the desired result i'll other cases, would prove just as effectual here The thought of inhar- mony must be eliminated. Thinking about disease and suffering is not right thinking, and if this wrong prac- tice is indulged it is not reasonable to expect harmonious bodily condi- tions to result.
 DOERS OF THE WORD.
 Ii is only through doing that under standing is gained; hence the words of James. "Pe ye doers of the word, and not hearers only" Jesus knew il was possible for men to demon strate the truth of his teachings and so he said: "If any man will do his will G. e.. be obediem to divine law, be shall know of the doctrine whether it be of God or whether | speak of myself" His followers were to learn from experience that he had given them more than mere theo- rctical interpretation of truth.
 The people marveled at his works and when he proclaimed the unseen verities of being. they were aston ished at his doctrine" To those who accepted his teachings he said, If ye continue in my wo1d, then are ye my disciples indeed: and ye shall know the truth. and the truth shall make you free" II is evident that Jesus required more than blind ac- ceptance of his doctrine, for how could they continue in his word except they put his teachings in practice?
 This declaration that Truth will de- liver from the bondage of error. is generally received, but there are few who understand in how large a sense men are to be made free. It is ac- cepted by all believers that obedience to the teachings of Jesus means free dom from sin now. It is not possible that man should live in obedience to the divine requirements, as re- vealed in the Sermon on the Mount, and at the same time be the servant of sin. Wherein one is in bondage to sin, he is not living in harmony with the teachings of him who is acknowl- edged to be the best man who ever trod the globe. Freedom from sin il this present time is not regarded as a thing impossible, and all men are encouraged to make an earnest effort in this direction.
 It is not in accord with the gen erally accepted teaching and practice that the freedom bestowed by Truth, includes deliverance from disease and bodily suffering. However, if one were to set aside precoaceived opn- ions, and interpret the teachings of Jesus from the standpoint of just recognition and appreciation of his works, he would perceive that the freedom promised by the great Teach CT, means present salvation from sickness and pain as well as deliver anee from sin.
 All inharmony is the result of wrong thinking and the only effectual remedy is right thinking: hence the necessity of entertaining only those thoughts that are true, honest, just, pure. lovely, and of good report If one thinks right, he will do right, for activity is thought expressed. Living in obedience to divine law as the re- suit of faithful, consistent application of inspired teachings, it is possible to gain the understanding of God as one "who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases.''

In the picture, it is made of a striped silk trimmed with plain but this frock may be copied in wool or in linen or in the cotton fabrics to be just as smart as it is in silk. Pique is very beautiful and is to be much worn throughout the coming season. It would make up admirably after this model. Linen is suitable too and there are variety of washable materials, such as gingham and the like. The wide belt which is adjusted over the sides and back is buttoned into place at the front. Among the new linens, there IS weave known as cossack that would make up charmingly after this model. It is heavy enough for street wear but still light enough to be comfortable indoors. It is found in beautiful colors and the weave is interesting while the linen is claimed to be non-crushable. We will use a great deal of white trimmed with color throughout the spring and summer. White serge wi.h trimming of blue broadcloth would make a pretty frock, or white linen Of white cotton gabardine with trinl-
 ming of the same material in blue, rose or pale green, would be charming. If liked, the collar may be round in place of sailor style and facing applied over the front will give a suggestion of the chemisette effect.
