bound up in the

The first letters
which tho apostle wrote were tho 1st
uml 2nd epistles to the Tliessiiloninns,
::nd they were written upon just one
theme, the second advent of Christ.
History Unrolling.
Tiio Jews for hundreds of years hnd
teen living in nntlclpation of tho
wining of a Messiah. For them,
v.-orld-hlstory hud unrolled Itself in
this order, viz.: a chosen man, Abra
ham, was called out of t'r of the Chal
does. and this chosen man hnd lia
como tho head of a chosen family,
Hebrews, and this chosen family had
become a chosen nation, Israelites,
and this chosen nation should produce
a chosen, supreme teacher, .lesii.
That was as fnr as they went. And
ri:;ht here tho apostles took up tho
chart, and taught that this chosen
Jewish Messiah is the Saviour of all
men, and tlint this chosen Supreme
teacher has founded a chosen chinch,
nd that to this chosen church shall
ultimately bo given nil nations.
The Gentiles on the contrary trc
Greeks, Romans, and barbarians could
not bo reached by that argument. Tho
DM Testament, and tho Jewish
prophets were nothing to thoui.
Whether Chrlat was the Mc::'ah or
not was of no particular force .so
far as they were co:ircr::ed. What
they wanted was a living Lord, r.
mightier divinity than Jupiter, or
Juvo, one who could appropriate'' bo
U:rmod King of Kinga, and Lord of
Lords. To them, therefore, l'aul
preached a Mighty lledoemer of all
i:'.c;i, now enthroned In heaven, a vie
to:' over death and the grave, rani a
KiiiH who wan destined sooner or l:ucr,
V.t ildo down tho skies in clouds and
Stent clory, to judge the world in
1 i. hteousness. Tho thought of tho
Ir.vaiinenee of the second advent, that
the Judge was even then at the door,
t::at the trump of tho archangel might
v) :'.c the earth al any moment, was
u!;jhty Incentive to repentance, and
fi tvrnUul for every ferr in the days of
Correal persecution.
The King's Return.
It Is doubtless iri'.c thr.t the early
fhurch anticipated that Christ would
f.'turn to earth in person within tho
!?ftlue of tlioso then living. Tiioy
f.slt that they were living in the last
days and tiiey looked with longing
ejes for the absent King to buiit
upon tho world with tho voice of tho
archangel and tho trump of God, de
stroy heir enemies, restore the an
cient glory of David's kingdom, and
muke tho twelve apostles his prime
ministers of state, to rulo over na
tions. Tho tendency of tha doctrine was
to make people Indifferent to anything
that made for permanency. If every
thing was going to be so completely
revolutionized so soon, what was tho
use of trying to evangelize the world,
or establish institutions only to have
thoni wiped out of existence when Ho
cume. Therefore, to correct that er
ror, Paul wrote his second letter, not
to deny what ho nad already pro
elnlmed In any way, but to dispel the
M;i that Christ bad already returned
or was Just on tho evo of it.
Two thousand years- have' rolled
way und the Parousia or appearing
of Christ has not yet taken place. Two
thousand years Is a long tfmo as men
count time, but not in the clock of
eternity. According to the chronology
of heaven, "a thousand years in thy
sight are but as yesterday when it Is
Kissed." And, "A thousand years Is
v.ith the Lord as one day." That be
ing so, it follows that It is not yet two
days since Christ ascended from
Olivet, and it is still perfectly proper
U say, "The Lord is not slack con
cerning Ills promise as some men
fount slackness, but is long-suffering
to usward, not willing that any should
perish but that all should come to
repentance."
Now, suppose tho tidings should
suddenly go forth that He was com
tin; to-morrow. Suppose it should be
definitely established that at precise
ly 12 o'clock, noon, August 9, 1009,
the heavens would roll together like a
scroll, the throne of the universe
would appour in tho clouds, and every
tye should see Him. on whose head
"in many crowns! What do you sup
poao would happen? Wouldn't there
bo some revolutions In society? What

The Way Daysey Mayma Honored It
Will Set Many Parents to Thinking.
Saturday was Mother's Day, and
thoro aro a few who were so busy they
didn't observe it, writes the Atchison
Globe man. But Daysey May me Ap
ploton was not in that ..umber; no,
not she! Daysey Mayme nroso early,
and putting on her best clothes, nto a
breakfast that Mother had prepared
and then, leaving the dishes for Moth
er to do, walked to the greeahnnr.e,
where she Invested In a dozen snow
white cnrimllona. "Some may wear
only one," said Daysey Mayme, "that
being the badge selected for Mother's
Day, but I think Mothers can't be hon
ored too highly, and will wear a doz
en." Daysey Mayme paraded the
streets till noon, when she went home,
ate a dinner Mother had prepared,
grumbling because It didn't suit her,
and then, after telling Mother how to
Iron her shirtwaist, went to take
a nap, leaving tho dishes. Daysey
Mayme felt guilty upon awakening.
She had slept two full hours of a day
that should have been spent In honor
ing Mother. She got up hurriedly and
dressed and left the house again,
wearing her dozen snow-white carna
tions, and to every friend on whom
she called that afternoon she told
how sweet, how uplifting and how no
blest was to set aside a Mother'!
Day, and how she Intended to observe
It as long as she lived. Daysey Mayme
was 'invited out to supper, and when
she got home at 10 that night Mother
was still ironing shirtwaists. "Dear
Mother is slow," said Daysey Mayme
to herself In her mirror, "but I have
honored her all day." Then she went
to bed, satisfied that one good day'e
work was done.
Jet, Jet on Nearly Everything!
The demand for jot Is so pi-eat that
the supply is entirely inadequate and
all the Jet In this country has been
bought up for months to come. The
best Jet conies from France and most
of the novelties are made over there.
Just at present nil these novelties,
from shoe buckles to earrings and col
lar studs, aro Immensely sought after.
With black and white gowns, which
are to be more popular than ever tills

cularly attractive. Naturally, the
blondes are especially taken with the
largo Jet barrettea made "in beautiful
cut stones and even larger than the
Mary Garden barrette.
The revival of the classic fashions
brought the return of the earring, and
the long Jet pendant with a pearl or
diamond at the top is always distin
guished looking. There are long ropes
of jet beads in the sparkling cut Jet
or the dull Jet of mourning, and there
are jet ornaments galore for the hat
and bonnet, when this is not made of
bands of Jet and completed with a Jet
spangled aigrette.
The tremendous vogue for all the
imitation jewelry shows that the fash
ions of Louis XV. are well on their
way back. For that was the heyday
of paste, and even the great King
himself did not disdain substituting
imitation diamonds for the real In
his waistcoat buttons when the finan
cial pressure was strong.
The Louis Qulnze bowknota in
rhlnestones and paste diamond!
are set In silver and made the exact
shape of the antique bowknota whicli
were worn on the bodices by th
court ladles.
Handsome combinations of rhlne
stones and jet are seen in ornaments
for hats, the brilliancy of the rhine
stone being enhanced by Its sombre
neighbor.
A jet set Is not complete without the
let collar and bracelets which are the
same wide bracelets which were popu
lar about thirty years ago.
The cut Jet brooch is uo longer an
emblem of mourning but may olmply
be worn to give the note of black
necessary to one's frock, or the jetted
fan is carried for tho same purpose.
Purses of jet and handsome Jet i.m
brella handles, tiaras, La .Vallieres,
stick pins and hat pins of all kinds
form some of tho ways in which Jet is
employed, and which make It the most
popular Jewelry.
