To every man Ufa Is either an In fliction or an Inspiration. It all de pends on how you take It, as a dose or as a spur. It Is easy to become so conscious of calamities possible, troubles Impending, nnd difficulties present as to be oppressed with a sense of the universe as wnrrlng against you, or you can see It 0,11 as a glorious struggle In which It Is a Joy to have a part. Life Is not all a Joyous way ol pleasure. No person of sensibilities can ignore altogether Its pain and need, or ever be free from the sense f personal Incompleteness, and of un. realized adjustment to tho universe. Hut this Incompli teness, restlessness, and dissatisfaction, may be the causa of our profoundcBt Joy and largest hopes. A man Is greater than an angel though he may not be better, and may be worse. In an Important sense lrn perfection Is better and greater than perfection. That which Is perfect hai I ou ml its limits, has reached its full ness. Man sees no limit about hiiD and goes on forever without the Bonse of completeness. That Is the mark of living, that tho more ou live the larger life stretches before you. Itut for our Imperfections there would be no growth; the future would lie like a blank without the hope ol larger things. This it Is thut maker the new days welcome, no mattei what freight of woe they may bring to us that they stretch before, thej promise onward steps, new vistas, the chance to bo more, feel more, know more. Perfection might mean peace, but It would be the peace of death. If ever we are Inclined to complain of tho shocks of fortune, the buffets and smarts of living, we ought to turn and look on them all with gratitude They shake us out of dull content; they testify to our Incompleteness and call on us to learn life's lessons, to gain new strength to withstand theli oncoming attacks. The fact that we are vulnerable makes us ultimately victorious. Now, it matters not how religious a man may profess to be, how freely he may handle pious phraseology, It he spends his breath In complaining about the sorrows of this existence and in sighing about another world where ho will be free from the pres ent penalties and pains and will enter Into the lite of perfection, the life that has attained and knows no fur ther desire, big religion is a menace to this world and to htm as a dweller here. Our present business Is with the life that Is fun of prophecy of larger being, that reminds us by our present failures and friction of the greatness of our shortcomings; our business Is to take this life of pain and need and use all Its provocations, Its troubles, difficulties, problems as the curricu lum of larger life. We ought to be grateful, as they who take life wise ly certainly will be, for all that moves us on though it may seem to. lay us low at tho time of the blow. True religion is that which places the light of aspiration before a man's eyes and sets In his heart the vision of a life which knows no limit. Reli gion interprets the universe In terms of a reasonable plan of life, with a hope In life which does not mock us. Religion Is the spirit that enables one to trust tho ultimate wisdom of the plan of our present Imperfection. Tho present struggle Is tho finest thing that we have. Not that we need to add to its Intensity or Increase Its complications. Hut we ought not to try to dodge Its demands nor ought wa to be blind to Its splendid promise. For Imperfection Is ever the prophecy of development, and he who bravely, hopefully struggles on, bears, endures, aspires, not only finds the way through the clouds to the stars, but In the struggle finds tise blgb and divine in himself. Here faith plays her part, aiding ua to cling to our visions of the larger Ufu and greater universe, giving us confidence even In darkest nights that we do not walk in a maze, to come out where we went In, bearing the mock ing laughter of Idiot gods. We believe better things of our world, and that means taking our world In a nobler way and trusting that love rules through It all. That means finding our way out through Imperfections and needs to a wholeness and perfection which we call God, the. desire of every soul. Revival of Lace The Christian's Privilege. The great master hand sends the, thoughts of sorrow, of Joy, of strength, into our life In varying forma as mighty means under the Spirit's pow er, to mold and bring ua Into the Di vine Image, for "to stand by the aide of Jesus Christ and look upon life and its possibilities Is to behold a vis ion of marvellous beauty." It Is this ever-deepening vision of life that is the Christian's privilege as be walka by the aide of his Master and touches the hand which is molding bis life into the highest beauty.

Is achieved In several In stances by a long, straight fitted corset of brocaded silk, to which Is attached a slightly gathered, plain silk or velvet skirt. A twisted triple cord celnture loose ly winds the waist. Tho top of the corsage la cut In a severe round or small square and filled with a gulmpe of unllned white mousaellne de sole, while short chemise sleeves fall over long, plain underslceves that match the gulmpe. The fine old houe that launched this fascinating costume showed tailored costumes built on the same Moyen age model. To the edgo of the straight, long body part the short skirt was attached, laid at each side In a few fiat pleats, closely held to preserve their form. The coat was a tiny affnlr, reaching to the edge of the skirt yoke and close fitted, but toning straight from bust to hem. The open aide seams were held close to gether by double lines of email gun metal bullet buttons; the seam at the back of the coat sleeves was finished In the same manner, and buttons with cord loops trimmed the flat collar and revcrs. There Is no end to the variety of buttons URed In the greatest quanti ties as trimming on costumes of ev ery description. On a tailored cos tume of dark blue serge tiny gold ball buttons were counted by hundreds. In lines and clusters they followed the curve of the collar and revera; they trimmed the sleeves, and they pep pered narrow bands used In the decora tion of the skirt. On a tailored cos tume of rough wool In mixed shades of gray this lavish array of buttons was In gunmetal; on deep cream serge they were In shaded pearl, but always large or small, the bullet shape Is the one preferred. Soutache braiding also holds an Im portant place In the decoration of street costumes. About a band of fur It edges the skirt, it clusters In cor ners of the coat, It trims the coat sleeves, covers the plastron that fills the open front of the coat, and shapes a half belt at a high waist line at the back. These masses of rich raised work are especially effective, whether carried out In self colors, as they gen erally are, or In pale, dollcate con trasts. Large cable cords, and cords cov ered with heavy silk and with velvet, are twisted into every form of orna mentation for both tailored and after noon gowns. Effective, such docora tlons are also Individual; for, applied on tho costume after shaping, the taste of the worker determines the de sign. A most elaborate trimming of this sort was noted on an evening gown of gold striped gauze. Two big cords, covered, one with gold tissue, one with silver, were twisted togeth er to frame a band of yellow fur, dyed the shade desired. A band of cream lace laid over gold trimmed the cor sage and fell at one side of the back into a long sash end, weighted with a long fur tall. The short sleeves of striped gauze were hemmed with a two-Inch band of fur a pretty fancy, which Is seen as often on sober after noon gowns as on those for evening wear.. Often this Is the only bit of fur on the entire garment. Long tas sels and gold and aiiver fringes are used In the most amusing manner to finish the three-cornered or pointed bits of drapery that are called trains. When left free of the underskirt they fall with picturesque grace; when held close to the. underskirt they bob and dance oddly with every movement. Skirts cut shorter back and front, leaving the aide breadtha to hang n couple of Inches longer, are coqtiett Ishly pretty, wholly exposing the well shod feet; but this fashion, like many others, Is one well left to the young, slender and graceful woman, and she should be prepared to discard so e treme a mode the moment It becomes vulgarized, as thla la sure to be. Still more extreme was a short, scant aklrt of dark blue satin, overhung with sev eral narrow panels that fell two Inches longer than the underskirt This aklrt was topped with a tight fitting Jacket of dark blue velvet, with a wide sailor collar and deep flaring cuffs with black caracul fur. Costumes designed for early autumn wear are built on lines' of extreme simplicity. The materials, though In reality, they are semi-transparent and light In weight, are coarse and heavy In appearance, and except for collar revers and cuffs of velvet, they are quite without trimming. The short skirts, fitted closely over the hips are laid In single box pleats In the middle of the back and front, and these pleaM are stitched to the depth of the knees. The coats, half long, hang In smart, straight lines and close with one line of buttons. The hats worn with theso gowns are smart In shape but simple In trimming; a bunch of feather pom pons, a deftly tied knot of wide ribbon la all good taste permits. Lace Is decidedly "In" again, and the woman wise on the subject of gown ing Is bringing out her old lace col lars, berthas and fichus. The hostess at a recent evening reception looked indescribably elegant and graceful In a soft, close banging gown of black meteor crepo, cut slightly low at the throat, and with no trimming save the ermine fur which edged the short, transparent sleeves, and a wide flat collar of lovely Venetian lace, a col lar not worn for years previously. An other costume, all. soft, trailing breadths of cream white silk voile,, was completed tfy an old fichu of Ivory white net, wide frilled, with white point d'esprlt, while wide frliis of the same lace edged the close elbow sleeves. The charming black haired woman who wore the latter gown looked like an eighteenth century por trait just stepped from lta frame. Fichu to Be Popular. From the looks of things at the neckwear counters now we shall all be wearing fichus with our bouse frocks this' winter. It Is easy, to make a picture of one's self with a charming white fichu draped over the bust and shoulders, and the simplest waist may be dressed up amazingly In thla pretty fashion. The fichu la fastened at the breast with a rose or with a bow of black velvet ribbon, and the ends fall to the waist or be low. Fine white net with plaitlngs of Val lace make the prettiest fichus, and there are others of soft white, mull with platted frills at the edge which are lovely over little house gowns or gray or lavender silk mull Window Seat jit,, iui'i"i Hi', tiii.,- f i''.i.'it.tni, . ijg jiJgi tafcaaaa' An Inexpensive and Artlatio Way of Treating a Window.

Reproductions from photographs of great paintings, and of .Biblical and historical places and events, (both In color and in black and white), are now so reason able In price as to make them avail able for regular use in tbe class or Sunday school. It Is a great help to the memory, if each class or each scholar makea a picture book of this part of tbe life of Christ. The best book for this purpose la one made for thla object, of 140 pages, with a peculiar but simple back, which enables one to fill the book with pictures without at all distorting the covers, which are of heavy board covered with tasty paper. The text of Matthew's Gos pel can be pasted in from some cheap edition of the Gospels, or, better, writ ten In the words of the scholar. Great Interest can be added to tbe making of these volumes In various ways. They are ornamented with pen drawings. "For instance, the fact of Jesus working as a carpenter during his young manhood Is happily illus trated by sketching a hammer, a Jack knife, saw, or other carpenter's tools." Maps and charts and small pictures can be cut out of disused Quarterlies; illustrations can be preserved from magazines and newspapers; small cards can be obtained with beautifully arranged pressed flowers in various natural colors, from different parts ol Palestine which Jesus has made sa cred, two cents each, in packagei of 25. Another Form of Picture Review. Mrs. Estelle M. Hurll, author of a capital volume on "The Life of Our Lord In Art," advocating the greater use of pictures in the Sunday school, says: "A successful teacher of a large Bible class in one of out churches, wishing to provide some thing usually Instructive for Re view Sunday, chose this plan: she procured a large number of photo graphs descriptive of the life of out Lord, placed them upon the walls and upon easels In tbe class room, un til she bad the whole story told In pictures. During the session no word from her was necessaiy, except a few simple explanations, while the pupilt passed In silence from one picture to another, taking in Its beauty and Its lesson at tbe same time. "It wai the most Impressive service I ever at tended," said one who was there, and the whole class echoed the same sen tlment as theyslowly left the church. Traveling by Stereoscopic Pictures. These are growing more popular, be ing used In day schools as well as It Sunday schools, because tbe pictures are Incomparably better than those of a few years ago. They are such life-like representations of the places where our Lord lived and walked and taught, the figures and the scenes are brought out so clearly that It Is almost the same as If we were actu ally traveling In the Holy Land. Peo ple are more and more waking up tc the likeness of tbe experiences that may be gained In the stereoncope tc those gained by viewing them on the ..pot There are 100 pictures of Palestine, In a leather case, with a book en closing a map and a description of the tour through the Holy Land. Ot course a selection can be made of tbe pictures. This can be made most useful for an evening meeting with tbe class. ' It would be well for each Sunday school to own a set of these pictures with several stereoscopes. The Topical Review.

SHATTER SOME OLD THEORIES Investigations Carried on In England Tend to 8how Environment Counta Moat. Attention la directed by the Medical Record to the Interesting and decided ly surprising results of an lnvestlga tlon recently made In England witt tbe purpose of determining tbe pbys leal aud mental effects on children ol alcoholism In parents. It has blthertc been held as Indisputably true and "of common knowledge" that these ef fects are many and serious that the drunkard's child has nothing like a fair start In life, and is, if not sure at least very likely, to be a weakling In both mind and body. An examina tlon by careful scientists of 2,000 chll dren In Manchester and Edinburgh where, If anywhere, the consequences of alcoholism could be found discred its this old assumption. The parents of half these children were sober people, and of half either the father or mother or both babltu ally drank to excess. Tbe conclu slons reached were: That the death rate among the children of alcoholic parents was slightly greater than among the others, the difference being most notable when the mother was in temperate; that the children of the sober were a little 'heavier; that the health of the two classes was about tbe same; that parental alcoholism It not the cause of mental defect in off spring, and affects Intelligence verj slightly, If at all, and that, for somt Inexplicable reason, the eyesight ol the alcoholics was somewhat the bet ter. ' Nothing was decided as to tbe exist ence of a predisposition toward drunk enness In the children of drunkards, but it was shown, the Investigator think, that what little superiority wu found In the children of the sober was due not to the abstinence of the par ents from intoxicants, but to the bet ter care and training which their chll dren naturally received. In othet words, In this case, as In so many, II not all others, It Is early environment rather than heredity that counts, and there Is no more of a prenatal doom for the drunkard's child than for that of the consumptive. The temperance advocates will not welcome these conclusions, and they can say, fairly enough, that the lnves tigatlon was not broad enough to be decisive. They may even question the wisdom of publishing such statements even if true. The truth, however. Is never dangerous, while falsehood and inaccuracy always are. Experience has shown that the restraints of the old belief are Ineffectual, and any lightening of tbe dark cloud of hope less heredity, exploited by Zola and Ibsen, Is certainly to be desired at tending to strengthen the sense ol personal responsibility and to Inspire ambition and effort.

No call has been more Insistently made In these latter days than that for a manly Christianity. Not that the "eternal womanly" should be Ig nored or neglected In any way, but that we should realize that the saving of the world Is a man's work. It le right that the manhood of today should be alive to this fact, especially American manhood, for It Is not the part of the chlvalrlc American to turn over to tbe women the hard tasks that need to be performed. And this Chris tianizing a world Is a bard task, says the Epworth Herald. It Is out of this that was born the modern Brotherhood. It .came as a result of tbe awakening of the men to a sense of personal responsibility In connection with the church. All other activities were well in band. Tbe wo men, both in tbelr borne and foreign missionary work, as well as In that which Is distinctively local; the young people In their efforts for spiritual and social uplift; the children In theli traning In tbe bible and In other mat ters all were cared for Only the men were left to themselves; and at a result tbey also left the church by Itself, all too often. Has It not many times happened that tbe difficult problems have been passed over, or passed on, by slmplj saying, "Well, let the women take care of that?" And then, by all kinds of schemes and devices, and "calami ties" without number, the women have wrestled with the situation and tried to bring order out of chaos. All ball to the faithful women and their devo tlon! And yet these things ought not to be. It Is not manly, to say nothing of Christian, and tbe men of the church have at last realized it. In tbe Brotherhood movement they have arisen to the situation. "Men's work for men," is the slogan of the hour. It finds a splendid nianl festatlon in the great missionary movement among the laymen, and 11 finds an organized expression In the great brotherhoods of the church. Traveling Antl-Alcohollc Exhibition.

"I was in despair, for the very thought of the medicines I bad tried so many times nauseated me.
