The Newest House in Paris Departed
 From the Spanish Silhouette and
 Has Made a Success With Gowns
 That Might Have Been Created for
 Thais, as They Show Every Curve
 of the Figure.
 Paris, September 2S.--People do not rush to a new house in Paris the moment it opens its doors. They wait for the ver- dict of the few who go. The firm of Madeline & Madeleine, on the Champs Elysees, waited just four hours for theil verdict. They opened their place at Il o'clock one morning and four hours after the parade of their clothes was finished the sunset fell upon success. At s o'clock that night American buyers were still coming through the doors and asking for appointments.
 Paris is so dramatic when it comes to the success or failure of such adven- lures. In America we care so little about the opening of a new dressmaking house that we would not give it half an ear if the tale of it was told But here, at the source of fashions for women, where the designing of clothes and their exhibition is taken as seriously as the acting of a play and it's premiere, there is sentiment lively appreciation, tears and laughter.
 When Madeleine & Madeleine opened  the doors to their new venture the fam fly down to the little nieces an nephews the families of those who did the won derful embroidery were there in their best bibs and tucker-men as well as women.
 Each gown as it appeared on the swirl ing mannequins was of tragic interest to these families. They were trying to read in the faces of the observers the signs of success or failure, and when success came there was probably both tears and laugh ter at the double family dinner that night.
 Madeleine and Madeleine showed entire originality. They departed from the chemise robe which has ruled Paris for three years just at the hour when Jenny, their neighbor, was showing dozens of that type of frock; they did not touch upon the Spanish panier which three other houses further down town were ex- hibiting. What did they do?
 They took the silhouette of Thais as model, wrapping their brilliant and gor

years. The Mothers Day program was
received with profound attention. 1t

The Centenary will be the lighting
Sunday. The closing exercise Of the
Sunday School will include addresses
on that subject. Come at 1920 If you
wish to hear them. Better come at

and in members.
At night we will have a rally to

gotten under way under the direction
Of Board of Trade committee head
ed by Judge R. w. Bingham, publisher

"The Grace of God" Is Gods love
manifested In the salvation of man.
Man by his own act, fell into state Of
sinfulness. God loved him SO much
that he planned his redemption, and
put into operation the means by or
through which he could be saved. This
willingness of God to save man from
sin, exhibited in his efforts to effect
his salvation, is called grace. 1t is
caller "unmerited favor" because man
having fallen into this sinful state by
his own free will and choice did not
deserve redemption.
Salvation in scripture means de-
liverance from the guilt of sin, and al
so from that sinful state into which
sin brought man, so that being res
cued from that deplorable condition
from which he could not extricate
himself, he is able to keep Gods holy
law, and walk in all of his command
ments blameless. This is a wonder
full transformation, and it is wrought
in the hearts of men by the power of
the Holy Spirit.
This great salvation is the result of
the exercise Of Gods power on the
affections Of men-the same power
that raised Christ from the dead. This
is not the result of works. Works are
the result of this salvation. 1--WE are
his workmanship, created in Christ
Jesus for good works which God be-
fore ordained Tor appointed) that we
should walk in them" God pardons
our sins and renews our hearts, not
through anything that we can do, but
on the one condition of our faith. Now
faith is the act of the creature and
not the gift of God, as the lesson
would seem to teach. The antecedent
of that, in the clause "and that not of
yourselves it is the gift of God" lie
not faith, as is clearly shown in the
great Greek text, but salvation is the
thing that Is being discussed. Many
have Numbered at this point. The only
thing the sinner can do Is to repent
and believe; and he cannot believe
unto salvation" until he repents. Re-
pentance is quitting SHINING, and until
a man does that he has no grounds for
faith. He cannot expect God to forgive
him as long as he continues in sin.
Isaiah cried, LET the wicked forsake
his way and the unrighteous man his
thought and let him return unto the
Lord, and he will have mercy upon
him, and to our God, for he will abun-
dainty pardon" Isa 55:7. In har-
mony with this Is Paul's declaration,
"Testifying both to the Jesus and also
to the Greeks repentance toward God
and faith toward our Lord Jesus
Christ" Act. 20:21. TheOld and New
Testaments are in accord. 1t is of the
first Importance that the sinner know
how he may obtain the pardon of his
sins. 1t is by the pardon of his sins,
or through the pardon of sins or after
the pardon Of his sins, that God re-
news his heart, and empowers him
thereby to live Christian life-a life
nodded after that of Jesus Christ
Amazing grace; How sweet the
sound,
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now I'm found,
Was blind but now I see."
