CONVERSION.
The New Birth.

People speak much about CONVEX
sion and yet have not the proper
conception of what 1t really is.
Many seem to think, that when a
man makes up his mind to forsake
his bad habits, stop his cursing and
refrain from drunkenness, he is con-
verted. In other words, they be-
lieve that conversion means change
that is merely an outward better
ment of life; departing from evil
and choosing better morals. but
outward morality is never a sign OF
change to christianity. In heather
lands we find many morally good
people, who would not think of will
fully doing harm or using unclean
speech and yet they are not convert
ed. They may be reformed and of
good character, but that does not
make them christians. Reformation
is not conversion. Good works in
themselves never make a man &C
ceptable before God, Mr.. Sturgeon,
a great London preacher once said:
All the reforms you could ever
make on your old nature would be
useless as to the matter of saliva
ton" Conversion is not matter of
our good works.
Nicodemus Comes to Jesus.
The first fifteen verses of the third
chapter of St. John will properly
answer the question of conversion.
One night man by the name of
Nicedemus came to Jesus for an in
terview. He wanted to know how to
be saved. Jesus at once told him
that he would first have to be con-
verified saying "Verily, verify 1 say
unto thee, except a man be born
again, he cannot see the kingdom of
Cod" Again Jesus said: we must

be born again!' Now Nicodemus
was not a man whom the people
would call bad, On the contrary, he
was strict Pharisee, leading an
outwardly moral life. He was just
and upright. For this the people
respected him and made him one OF
their rulers. Nicodemus was an ex-
emplary citizen, an honored gentle
man, who respected the laws. He
needed not to be reformed. And
vet he was not converted. For re-
peatedly Jesus said to him: Ex-
cept man be born of water and OF
the spirit, he cannot enter into the
kiupdom of Cod Men may be out
wardly decent; they may be refined
and rich; but if they believe not in
Christ and are not born again, they
cannot go to heaven. And why notY

there is 70 salvation. Not to lie born
anew is to be lost. "Ye must be
born again!' (John SD.
What is the New Birth.
The new birth is primarily a
change of heart. For thus says the
Lord: "a new heart also will give
you, and a new spirit will [ put
within you; and I will take away
the stony heart out of your flesh
And I will put my Spirit within
you, and cause you to walk in my
statutes Eek 1920. Regenera-
ton then is not mere outward
change of conduct. A reformation
in the life of a christian is neces'
sary result, or fruit, of regeneration.
But as the fruit is not the tree, so
reformation is not regeneration,
Conversion is a change of state: a
change from the state of sinfulness
to the state of forgiveness, 1t is a
change of course or direction: a
change from the path that leads to
destruction to the path of salvation.
1t is a change of heart which Is
brought about by faith in Christ.
Regeneration consists essentially in
bestowal of saving faith. l John 5:
|, we read: "Who7oever believeth
that Jesus is the Christ, is born of
God-born again,
The Spirits Work.
Jesus tells Nicodemus that hel
must be born of the Spirit. The
spirit brings about the change and
not man himself People try to work
up their feelings, listen to an emo
tional sermon, and thus try to re-
generate themselves by their own
energy. As no man brings about his
own natural birth, so no man can
bring about his new or spiritual
bi:th. He cannot ever prepare him.
self. Conversion is altogether and
absolutely the work of the holy
Ghost. The Savior solemnly says:
Except man be born of water

With the new dance step comes
the new dance frock and as it is
much easier to describe the new
dance frocks I'll tell about them
and the intricacies of the new steps
may be left 10 greater talents. The
new dance frocks are sleeveless
but that is not their distinguishing
feature for street frocks are sleeve
less today They have tight bodices
but that too Is a feature of many
street frocks. Light colored taffetas,
however, are never countenanced
for street wear but they are the ac-
cepted thing for the ball room and
so there at leaat is one mark of the
new dance frock.
This pretty model Is made of
blue taffeta with the prevailing
snug fitting bodice and sans
sleeves. 1t is beautifully embroid-
cred with pearl beads in q lavish
design. The skirt is eight inches
from the floor and finished with
points of self material. The neck
and rrmholes are finished in the
same fashion. The accentuated
hips are piquant and graceful al
though they are quite the opposite
Of the general silhouette which
is lon, slender and slinky. This
taffeta frock is more youthful than
those of lon slender lines in soft
materials and is therefore more
suited to the young school girl or
I debutante or young bobbed haired
matron.

FOUR DANCING feet
BY JANE PHELPS.

But Tom Norris-talking like
that. He one of Mas kids. She
felt the hot tears in her eyes, and
wiped them away with the back of
her hand. Before she left she
would tell Mattel her just what
Tom had said. Was there ever
such a dear MANI And was there
ever in the world a girl as fortu-
nate as she?
What had she ever done to de-
serve such luck? She wondered as
she looked at his profile. She, a
poor uneducated girl. That She had
been the support and comfort of
her mother all the years past: that
she had gone without unselfishly
that the others might have; that
she had worked so they might be
kept together, and have the edu-
cation she lacked, never occurred
to her as a reason she should reap
ANY reward.
That all these things had made
her very precious in Toms eyes,
these and her sweet innocence in
spite of her surroundings, she had
not grasped.
Here we are! I hope the bis
cults are still hot" Tom said gay
ly interrupting her musings. you
haven't spoken to me for ten min
utes. What have you been think
ing about?"
"You-and me-"
"We're one after tomorrow,
you'll have only one to think of
then" He sensed a bit of sadness
in her; laid it to thoughts of leav-
ing her mother, so natural.
The biscuits were just out of the
oven, so Tim informed them before
they laid off their wraps.
They're here, Ma" he called.
Now we can have support"
1t was a gay meal, and afterward
they spent a quiet evening in the
little living room talking over the
wedding that was to be in the
morning.
Tom left early, and after he had
gone and Jennie and Tim were
asleep, Gertie and her mother had
long quiet talk. Gertie told her
what Tom had said:
"He said that! He said he'd be
my kid too?" Mrs. Cummings re-
peated, scarcely able to believe it.
"a man like him, my boy"
Eyes, Ma. And he meant 1t too.
Tom always means what he says"

THE DAY BEFORE THE WE'D
DING.

Chapter 10.
Poor dear Ma" Gertie wiped
away a tear, "she will miss me,
I'm afraid" Tom, busy getting
through the traffic, waited a bit
before he said:
"Of course she will! But I've
missed you all my life"
Nonsense! How could you miss
me when you didn't even know
there was such a person on earth ?"
"But you were on earth, weren't
you? And so / missed you"
They laughed and talked gay
nothings as happy, young things
will, interspersed with many love
breathings. Tom felt all the joy OF
near possession. Tomorrow at this
time Gertie would be his-his wife.
With the thought he glanced at her
sweet face, and oblivious, uncaring
who might see he leaned over and
kissed her on her lips.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: / am

have a husband and daughter
living. My husband is always as
kind and good as any man coula
he. but | was too blind to realize
the blessing L had and so in re
turn for his goodness to me l.
was always nagging and scoldlns
him. / thought he had not tne
good manners that my FRIENDS
husbands had and l didn't IKE
the way he looked in his clothes
In return for the home he furh-
ished me | let him get up every
morning and get his own break
fast, and half the time when ne
came home in the evening there
was no dinner ready and he
either had to go out and eat or
cook a meal for himself and our
daughter.
Two years ago our daughter
went out OF town to school and l
missed her so much that after
two months I gained my hus-
bands consent to go to the col
lege town and board. ] didn't
intend to stay so long when I
went, but I didn't go home until
our summer vacation.
That summer | noticed a
change in my husband. He
seemed happier, but he didn't
pay any attention to me. Now /
know the reason for his hap
piness--he had found another
woman and fallen in love with
her. I didn't discover this fact
before this summer vacation. Last
year l went back to school with
my daughter again and was away
all winter. When we got home
my husband was scarcely ever
in the house. l thought it was
strange because he always used
to be there so much. Now he has
told me he loves another woman

What would you advise me to
do? My daughter is very bitter
against him and says 1 should do
as l please and she won't care.
MRS. c. X. d.
I do not believe that one party
in marriage should willfully hold
the other to the agreement when
the other asks for freedom. The
best and most unselfish thing you
can do is to comply with your
husbands wish. You admit that
You have not done your part to
bring happiness into your married
life and so you cannot blame
your husband in the least for the
thing lie has done.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: | am a
single man twenty-one years old
and have been keeping company
with girl for three years. We
were to be married in short
time and the day was set. She
returned my ring and said she
didn't want anything to do with
me. Another girl is the cause
of It all. She has told untrue
stories.
| am heart broken and in des-
pair. ] loved this girl. and all
my friends are expecting our
marriage, which is already an
nounced. This will cause en-
barrassment and worry. What
shall | do?
HEART-BROKEN CHARLEY.
Write the girl a letter, telling
her the truth and saying that you
love her and want her for your
wife. Ask her to reconsider her
decision. Do not try to throw
the blame on the other girl be-
cause 1t will only weaken your
own case. Be honest and If you
are to blame, admit it and ask
her forgiveness. BY no means
mention the fact that you are
ashamed to have your friends
know that the wedding is called
off, because she will think your
pride is greater than your love.

Combat the film
Your teeth are coated with viscous film.
You can feel it now. 1t clings to teeth, enters
crevices and stays. No ordinary tooth paste can
effectively combat it.
Film absorbs stains, making the teeth look
dingy. 1t then forms cloudy coats Tartar is
based on film. 1t holds food substance which
ferments and forms acid. 1t holds the acid in
contact with the teeth to cause decay.
Germs breed by millions in it. They, with
tartar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea. All of
these troubles were constantly increasing under
old brushing methods.
