Not the fuel of plvlni, the duty of ply ing, but the grace of giving, thnt la the thomo of tlio lPHsnn. If we rould Foe the motive behind ev ery dollar gnlns Into the treasury, as Christ saw the heart of the widow who trem blingly, b 11 t cheerfully dropped In her two mites, "which make a farthing," what a rev elation It would be. Good Security. How little giving there Is of that magnificent pattern. In raul'a day the church In AntlocU took up a col lection, and sent Paul and llurmibas to Jerusalem with It, and the offering was permeated with love. Now, the church has to keep a set of men busy all tho year round going from place to place, prying money out of tho pockets of the brethren. Dean Swift once preached a aermon from the text, "He that glveth to the po:r lendeth to the Lord," and tits sermon consisted only of these words, "Breth ren, If you are satisfied with the to curlty, down with the dust." He got a generous collection. But even In thnt Instance there was shown a keen knowledge of human nature, a desire for security for every farthing doled out. He who gives gracefully doesn't Inquire about the security. It is not a question of lending. It Is a straight out gift. Credit for Intention. Much that passes for benevolence la not that at nil. A man by mistake put a $5 gold piece In the collection plate In one of my parishes. When he discovered the error be came to the treasurer and demanded the re turn of the coin, saying that lie in tended to put a new penny In the of fering. He was nn olllcer of the church, too, and had a bank account. Another man who made that mistake and who could not recover the fundi because the missionary had left town, said bitterly, "Well. I will get credit in heaven for $3 anyhow." "Oil, no, you won't," was the pastor's reply. "You will get credit for what you meant to give one cent." "The Lord loveth the cheerful giver." Hut ho who "casts his bread upon the wa ters," simply and Bolely, that he may get it back again after many days, is merely putting out his money at In terest, anticipating increasing riches, lie la planning to build bigger barns, to buy another farm, to augment. hU bank account, to feather his own next. There is not the slightest element of pure benevolence about that. Getting Money's Worth. Neither Is the grace of giving exer cised In the "ring cakes," "grab bags," "post-offices," and "auction sales" to which many churches have resorted as effectual methods of separating tight-fisted people from their money We have come to an age when young and pretty maidens are educated in the arts of wheedling susceptible young men into buying at exorbitant prices, things they have no earthly use for, for the benefit of some "cause," and many a man eats flvo dishes of Indigestible cake, and two dishes of cream, and labels It benevo lence. It has come to be taken for granted that like old-fashioned wood en pumps, that have to be prlned with a bucket of water In order to get more water out of the well, a man must have a turkey supper put Into his stomach In order to get the money out of his pocket. Tho "cooking stove apostacy" is as much an evil in its way, as heresy In th pulpit or wick edness In the pew. Not that there is anything wrong In Itself in a good meal of victuals in a church vestry. Christ Himself en Joyed a square meal, and accepted more than one Invitation to a full Oriental banquet, the evil consists in the false education that tralus oar young people to think that when they eat themselves sick at a church sup per, and pay for It, they are giving that money to the Lord. They are not! They are paying for value re ceived. They have already secured the worth of their money, and cany it away with them In headache, dyspep sia and such like accumulations. Oh. the man who, at a church supper, eats GO cents worth of cake, and strawberries and cream, and trouble In his economy, and paya 25 cents for It. and then refuses to give anything toward the church debt on the ground hut he has already contributed has been wrongly educated. He knows nothing about tho grace of giving. I'lston to Paul, "Remember tho word.' u' the Lord Jesus, how He said, 'It la wore blessed to give than to rocelvo.' " A complaining christian once asked a Preacher whether he really believed w could get the heathen to under ' tiind or practice religion Just as wi "1 hope not," said the preacher "fur converted heathen sing and in ''d give, while from what I have l!'-arj of you, I am portuaded that you a neither." Pattern No. 418. Plain blue cotton was used for this little dress and Iho trimming bands are cut from dotted blue and white material, showing the dots In line.

For making an elaborate looking corset cover with very little work this design is ad mirable. The garment Is cut with n straight upper edge and any kind of lawn or lace flouncing makes up pret tily, using the finished edge at the top and gathering it with a ribbon. A bit of narrow embroldei7 around each armhole and a ribbon run bead ing for the lower edge are the only trimmings required. The popular hand made effect can be obtained easily by using shetr lawn flouncing with a plain hemstitch ed edge and working eyelets for the ribbons. Another pretty way to make up the design Is to use narrower edg ing across the top. making the re quired width by joining it to a strip of plain lawn with a lace Insertion be tween. Do this before cutting and lay on' the pattern as with the wide flouncing. The pattern Is cut In 0 sizes, 32 to 40 bust measure. Size 36 requires 1 5 8 yards of material 16 inches wldo.
