For there now dwells here 'II whom the heaven of heavens cannot contain. Kings 28, 17. "Third motive The C d who dwells here is not merely a God of adoration, hut also a God of grace and every help. From this altar, the throne of grace. He wishes to transmit grace and help to all, through holy mass, through tho aacramenU. Even the dea l are not forgotten. Your new church jnst dedicated ia a honse of grace, became Ood, who dwells in it, is pre eminently the God of grace. ' Fourth motive The God who dwells here is tho Ood of truth and justice. Truth and justice yon will be taught here in the sermons and in structions. 'Going, therefore, teach ye all nations, teaching them to ob serve nil things whatsoever I have commanded you.' ftlath. 2S.29, This is the priest's divine commission.

The motto fashion, if one may be per PiiUed the wnrd, that for a timo seemed to find its only expression in stiff, inartis tic illuminations formed and set with ungraceful rigidity mid hung on the walls of our houses, is, in our modern ar tistic homes, in quite different evidence. The simple rustic prayer of "God Bless Cur Home" and others of the same sort have yielded to fine bits of decorative e p'iiffi' m 1 1 njpj imp 1 1 fs CLOSET DOOR WITH MOTTO. work effectively introduced in handsome apartments. It is thoold English notion, and colouial idea as well, again accentu ated after it long interregnum. Attention is called to tho foregoing fashion by tho New York Times, which tells that in tho home of ono of our well known illustrators, over the mantel in tho large und airy dining room, tho inscription, "A Table Full of Welcomo Will Score Ono Dainty Dish," is picked out in the wood in old English text with admirable effect. In another artistic home, cited by the authority quoted, is an ornamental pair of closet doors betting tho text, "Fust Bind, Fast Find." It is not only deco rative and i llcctive, but tells a story of system, method nnd careful housekeep ing that means good liomemaking. The motto idea is capable of consider able application. W hero wood carving is not suitable or attainable, a panel or banner can be accomplished of silk, satin or linen, either in somber or gay colors. On either of these three a motto l. UA.J i ii i a ft M . i .,, vain uu in liquid gold mat will prove most attractive when finished. A quaint and graceful design of lettering should be selected. In a breakfast room the motto, "Now, Good Digestion Wait on Appttlte and Health on Both," or over tho family hearthstone the senti ment, "East or West, Home's tho Best," is happy in its tender suggestion. Workers in hammered brass will find tho employment of their art specially artistic in producing mottoos, and sneh, framed with a simple molding or not framed at nil, are uuiquo and desirable.
