LONG COATS NOW REVERSIBLE
Double Effects Obtained by Simple
Means and a Radical Trans
formation Effected.
What more applicable term can be
need In talking of revers than re
versible? The very meaning of the
words revers Implies a double role,
and inn 9 stvies is it
Bed more emphatically th*n in the fall
modes.
Long coats are making use of the
reversible idea. A double effect Is ob
talnable by turning over one rever.
baoii another style, or de
taching a seemingly permanent collar
and changing its adjustment with an
entirely new effeot.
For the storm coat there are many
buttons and buttonholes that multiply
the roles to be played by the coat. A
long double rever can be unfastened,
turned over to one side and flattened
down into a plain protective collar.
A single rever Is loosened, the under
portion pulled out and 10, a vest Is
revealed that was never guessed at
before!
Buttonholes are placed in unusual
places, but if you investigate, you
will find that they have a use In the
reversible act that Is played by the
happy wearer.
One coat can be transformed Into
another by this reversible feature,
which Is characteristic of the new
models.
The pain is the woman's. Style has
been kind to femininity, and comfort
plus charm in line and ornamentation
are features that promise satisfaction
to all.
FRESHENING UP OLD GOWN
Little Touches That Will Give New
Appearance to Garment One
la Tired Of.
Every woman has a serge or dark
silk dress in her yvardrobe for cool
days. Before the summer is half over
she feels that she is tired of it and
that it looks a bit shabby. For such
people let me suggest buying a set of
the new collar and cuffs made of white
dull kid with deep border in dull
black leather. They have just appear
ed the last few days. The collar Is the
round Dutch shape, about three and a
half or four inches deep, with inch-
Tide hem of the black. This is joined
3 the white part by means of cat
titchlng in coarse black thread, which
ives it a crude but nobby effect. The
lalnness of the whole thing Is re
eved by tiny straps of the white
eather which fasten to small gun
netal buckles. The cuffs match ex
ictly and are about five inches wide.
This set worn with a clinging black
iharmeuse gown, but in perfectly plain
straight lines would, as you can easily
maglne, set it off most completely.
STRIPED COTTON DRESS.
White cambric with a blue stripe 1b
used for this dress. The plain Skirt
is set to the bodice with a narrow
band of plain blue material, this is
also used for collar and culfs and tab
below collar; buttons are sewn on It.
Materials required: Four and one
half wards 27 Inches wide, one-half
yard plain for trimming, three buttons.
Novel Trimmings.
Many of the smartest hats have a
▼ery tiny bunch of flowers placed In
the most careless manner anywhere
on the brim, just at the edge. One
made of delicate lavender moussellne,
with goffered frills covering the brim,
haa a tiny pink rose rimmed with for
get -me-nots on the extreme edie of
the brim at the left aide.
A wreath of oata, mingled with flat
roaettes of very bright blue forget
me-nota, looks charming on a hat of
the pioture type carried out in white
chip. Royal blue velvet strings com
pie the decoration of the model.
Field flowers are greatly liked, but
they are of an Immense size, which la
very noticeable on a black Tagal
atraw hat, of a round ahape, trimmed
witb a looae bunch of "clockß," pop
{lea and oorn flowers rising to a great
eight at one aide.
HOW, WHEN, WHY

[PASTOR " ro - ' ,l '' l ill
- >• (o him the great
event of Christ's Coining will bring
} blessing such ns we all desire. He
i seems to have the Bible and logic on
| his side too!
Pastor Russell declared that false
concepts of the Second Coming of
i Christ have done great Injury. The view-
Bet forth in all orthodox creeds Is that
, Christ will come attain In the flesh
The resurrection will take place within
twenty-four hours. The saintly will rise
In the air to meet the Lord. Then lire
will come down from heaven and con
112 sume the whole earth. A few —I'remi;
lennialists—claim that Christ will reign
In fleshly glory for a thousand years to
bless the living of mankind. The ma
jorit.v of Christians disown all this a
ridiculous nonsense because they be
lleve little or nothing, either of the
creeds or of the Bible. A minority dis
own it because they perceive its incoii
sistency with the Bible." "Count me
In with this minority!" said Pastor
| Russell.
More than three hundred Bible texts
refer to Messiah's glorious Second A<l
rent. Our inquiry shall be first. Why
does the Master come again? Did He
i not properly establish His ChurchV
: lias this Gospel Age been a failure?
! Will He come to rectify matters and to
j start His Church afresh in the work
| of world-conversion and blessing?
Not at all. Ills work has carried out
j exactly ns intended. Not a suggestion
of Scripture implies that the Church is
to convert the world during this Age.
On the contrary, her mission lias been
to act as God's mouthpiece in cnllirig
out a class to lie joint heirs with the
Redeemer. Properly enough .Jesus
said, "I pray not for the world, but
for those whom Thou hast given Me."
lie loved the world. He died for the
world. Indue time, by His Messianic
Kingdom, Fie will bless "all the fami
lies of the earth." But the time for
blessing the world is not yet. First,
a special class is invited to become
separate from the world, to become
sanctified or set apart to God and His
service, following in the footsteps of
Jesus. These, like their Master, inns!
demonstrate their love for God. their
loyalty to Him and to the brethren,
even unto death. Their reward is to be
sharers with their Master in ills Heav
enly Throne of Glory, which for a
thousand years will rule, bless and up
lift humanity.
The followers of Jesus have another
work. In addition to witnessing to the
world and calling out faithful saints
to walk the narrow way. That other
work is to "build one another up In
the most holy faith." I'ach individual
of the sanctified Utile Flock Is not
only to "do good unto all men, and
J especially to the household of faith."
J but particularly to make his own "oall
| lng and election sure" by personal love.
I zeal and loyalty.
The Kingdom New In Embryo.
Out- Lord's many parables refer to
His Church as a Kingdom class, a
Royal Priesthood. This does not signi
fy that He intended them to occupy
places of honor and distinction now
, The Master Himself was neither a
King nor a Priest on earth. His is
the Melchlsedec Priesthood of the Mes
slanic Age. Then He will also be the
Great King over all the earth, as well
as the Great Prophet or Teacher and
the Great Judge or Ruler. Well did
He declare to Pilate, "My Kingdom is
not of this Age." (John xviil, 3<b. As
Ills saintly followers are to share in
His Kingdom, they also must wait for
j Its establishment. While waiting they
j |re to pray, "Thy Kingdom come: Thy
will be done on earth, as it is done In
j Heaven."
Of this Royal Priesthood the Apostle
declares, "The world knoweth ns not."
We are priests and kings only from the
Divine standpoint, which none are able
to recognize except the "brethren."
Only in embryo are God's saints spok
en of as the Kingdom class. They are
on probation. Jesus says that the
overcomers will be granted to sit with
Ilim In His Throne as actual members
of the Royal Priesthood, to reign with
Him a thousand years.- Revelation ill,
21; x.x, «.
"He Must Reign Until —"
St. Paul, after telling about the
resurrection of the dead, explains that
the resurrection of the Church to
glory, honor and Immortality will he
flrst on the program Subsequently all
will be resurrected, "every mail in his
| own order." and Christ will reign
until He shall have put down all In
pubordlmttlou Other Scriptures
ly Inform us thnt tho length of "lis
reign will lie n thousand years. It will
constitute the great Seventh I)a.v of
earth's history—six thousand years un
der the Curse, and the seventh thou
sand In recovery from the Curse. Si
Paul adds that after Jesus shall have
accomplished the work assigned to
Him in connection with rebellious
man. He will deliver up the Kingdom
to God, and Himself be subject to the
Father.—l Corinthians xv, 22-L'B.
To some it may appear that a thou
sand years Is too short, a time to fully
uplift humanity—those living at the
time of the Second Coming and all that
are in their graves. Some think that it
will be even too short to bring the
whole earth to the promised Fdoni •
perfection. We are to remember, how
ever, that while Messiah will probably
use human instrumentality in connec
tion with Ills work, nevertheless the
inventions and developments of the
l>ast century give us a glimpse of the
tvonderful intelligence which may lie
Iran ted to humanity in proportion as
I lie Curse Is rolled away and Divine
Dlessing tills the earth. The majority
of our race have never had fifiv years
of life experiences, good or bad. But t lie
promise is that each shall have twice
that length of time to learn the Truth,
under the blazing light op that New
Dispensation—a hundred years, in
which to fully decide his eternity,
either for life everlasting or death
everlasting.—lsaiah, lxv, 20.
From the Bible viewpoint the Day of
Christ is ample for the great work to
which it has been consecrated by the
All -Wise Creator from before tin 1 foun
dation of the world. Nor should we for
get that all power in Heaven and in
earth is vested in the One who then
shall take the Throne. Neither should
we forget that the Church has for eight
een centuries been under special prep
aration and Instruction in the School
of Christ, preparing them for their
work as a Royal Priesthood. They will
be able to sympathize with the groan
ing creation and be merciful, even in
the administration of stripes necessary
to many for their assistance along the
Highway of Holiness, then opened up
Messiah's Kingdom Invisible.
Some of the noblest minds have been
repelled from faith in the Second Ad
vent by the thought that an earthly
Kingdom with Christ and the saint - in
regal state Is unreasonable. They were
quite right in thinking that earth .
court and state would be beneath the
dignity of Messiah and Ills Bride Th
Scriptures declare that .lesus left 11
glory, humbled Illmsclf to become a
mail, in order that He might be lln
great Sln-Olferlng for our race. But
the Redeemer prayed to be glorii i I

dition. and will He then, instead, give

Oh, no. no! We have all sadly ovei
looked certain features of God's Woi !
.lesus did not remain poor, did not re
jnain flesh, did not remain human. In
His resurrection not only was He re
ceived by the father up where lie was
before; but He was glorified "far above
lingels, principalities and powers."
made a "partaker of the Divine n i
ture." The promise to ills Church is
to share His glory. The Apostle dis
tinctly tells that In the resurrection the
faithful will be "changed" (I Corinth!
wis xv. Til, 5'21 and made like the glo
l'lfied Redeemer, and also of the 1 >i\ ilie
nature, til Peter i, 4.) The Apostle
explains the necessity for this change,
faying. "Flesh and blood cannot inherit
the Kingdom of God."- I Cor. xv, 50.
How slow we have been to see that
God never purposed that either .lesus
C>r His faithful Fleet should remain In
Hie tlesh! A few Bible statements mis
understood got its into difficulty. We
read, "Every eye shall see Him," and
forgot that there are eyes of under
standing, as well as natural eyes. We
forgot that .lesus declares that very
few now see or hear only the saintly,
jwhose eyes of understanding have been
opened by the anointing of the II.'!
Spirit. We forgot that Jesus said a No.
''Vet a little while and the world seeili

I contrary, it Is described as secret, hid

saying that at that time the world
would be eating, drinking, planting,

in the Harvest of the Ago. even as the
world was eating, drinking, planting,
