A bitter scowl wreathed his face and

ILLill 7:2
Tho next day Purnham started for a
distant city. He curried with him the
satchel belonging to the man who
had saved his life. A chunge hud
come over him. Tbo fltst strong Im
pression of bis new life was the sight
of the peaceful furm life. It lingered
like a picture. The second was grati
tude for the man who had given up
his life to save his own.
Ills thought ran rapidly. Sud
denly, thrllllngly this outcast found
his existence directed into new chan
nels. He bad seen that his rescuor
was burled. Then he had opened the
satchel and Inspected Its contents.
From that moment Mark Ilurnhuin be
came Ell Walters.
For he felt it a sacred trust to take
up the life of his rescuer where tho
latter hud lain It down. In tho satchel
he found a little hoard of about two
hundred dollars. There were ulso let
ters und papers. An tippoul had
reached Walters from his brother's
widow, whom lie had never seen. Ho
had decided to go to her, relieve ber
necessities aud devoto his years to
care for her and her little family.
Duriihum found the Walters family
destitute, indeed. Ho had assumed
tho identity of a relative they hud
never seen and was accepted us the
real I'nclo Ell. That hard heart of
his softened like wax us he employed
tho J"0u to bring cheer und comfort
where there hud been despair und suf
fering. The widow was sickly and al
mobt an Invalid. There were live lit
tle children. Within a week the chil
dren were grouping about hlrA us
though he were a real father, und the
widow was filled with grutitudo und
hope.
For the first time, one day, Puruhnm
saw Ida Worth. She had been 111 for
a month and culled while he was in
tho house. From the ilrst, her earnest,
patient face attracted him. lie learned
thut she had practically supported the
widow and her family for several
months, but illness had come und she
was now as poor as themselves. She
said tho doctor had prescribed a rest,
country nlr, but that wus beyoud
her attainment.
"I'm going away for a day or two,"
Ilurnhuin told Mrs. Walters that eve
ning. "My dream I will make it
true!" he pledged himself fervently.
Two weeks later Burnham conveyed
tho Walters family and Miss Worth
to their new homo, a lovely country
cottage. He hud used bis own money
to give to the widow a surety of pro
vision for tho rest of her life.
'I am going away," he suid to Ida
a week later.
He noted that she changed color
and her lips fluttered, and he won
dered why.
"I must tell you what the others
need not know," he continued sadly.
I am not tho uncle of those children,"
and ho told her all.
"Then you are even a nobler man
than I thought," burst forth Ida im
petuously. 'I um un ex-convict," and the rest
of tho wretched story came out.
"You have nobly redeemed your
self," breathed Ida. "Oh, do not go
away, they need you. We love you!"
Her hands had now rested In his
own. Ho looked Into her eyes, fear
somely, and then with a rare thrill.
She swayed towards him, and he knew
that his fond dream had come true.

GOOD OUTLOOK FOR FUTURE
Number of College-Trained Men in
Business Is of the Highest
Significance.
There was a time when half the col
lege graduates of Americu became
clergymen, and when the legul and
medical professions swullowed up
neurly all the other half. Now, less
than 5 per cent of the men who com
plete college courses go Into the min
istry, and the three "learned profes
sions" together number only a minor

of. the country.
This Illustrates not only the rapid
spread of higher education In the I'nl-
ted States, but the way In which so
ciety is constuntly differentiating into
more und more diverse occupations.
Go back far enough in history, and
there was but one trained profession.
tho ecclesiastical. In more recent
times there were three law, medicine
and tho church. Today, no one knows
how mnny lines of effort deserve the
name of "learned."
In fact, business Itself Is rapidly ap
proaching the status of a profession,
both in the learning required and -in
the ethical standards which are being
set up to guldo the business man. It
is this fact, quite as much as faith In
legal enactments and prohibitions,
which makes tho average citizen look
for more fair play In the future than
ever hns prevailed in the past.

ways. With the fall of the empire
and the arrival together of the bar

above all, bathing in warm water, fell
Into disuse all over Europe as tin en

only when Chnrlemngne, whose name

seven centuries of disuse, became

Fashionable Patterns in Face Veils
5
IV order to got a clear Idea of the
different fashlonablo patterns in
face veils one must either see them
or see accurate reproductions of them.
It Is impossible to describe exactly
what a few pictures of the best pat
terns make plain enough. Here is a
group including some of the patterns
that are most popular JuBt now:
Smnll hats and blustering weather
both Invite the use of fuce veils. They
are indispensable' for keeping the
hair In place about the face, and they
are vastly becoming. The faithful
ness with which enterprising manufac
turers continue to produce new pat
terns and to improve and diversify
those that have proved most becoming
Is a tribute to women. It shows how
well they appreciate and take advan
tage of the becomlngness of the veil.
There Is a pretty fad, which prom
ises to be long lived, for wearing the
Millinery Needs
FOR little ladies, from the baby girl to
tho miss entering upon her teens,
and for the miss In her teens, fasci
nating lines of headwear have been
turned out. Those specialists who
look after the needs of children, up to
the time when they enter the ranks
of young womanhood, have developed
this branch of millinery until America
may be conceded to lead in point of
variety and to match In point of excel
lence the products of all other coun
tries. In the group of hendwear for little
girls shown hero a bonnet and two
hats nre pictured. The bonnet, for a
little girl from three to Ave or six
years old, Is a quaint model, suggest
ing the fashions of bygone days for
grownups. It Is of velvet, with a silk
facing in the projecting brim at the
front. Tho bonnets of this type, with
nft miffed crowns, nre made of silk,
plush, velvet, corduroy, and sometimes
of coatings. The facings are In white
or light-colored silks, and the ties of
ribbon.
Ribbons are depended upon to form
(lie small bows or roBettes which con
stitute the main trimming feature of
millinery for the baby girl. A rurhe
Is formed of It and sets next the hair
at the back of the brim. Little chif
fon roses are set In the ruche at each
side. Small millinery flowers used In
this way, or placed In little nosegays
on many little caps and bonnets, testi
fy to the perennial blossoming of tiny
Jet or Pearl.
A white net evening dress can be
touched up with Jot or pearl beads.
Either favorite will add distinction to
the dress, that can be of the new
tiered variety or with a double tunlo.
The flounces should be cut In points
or scallops, and these edged with pearl
beads or with Jot. They must be large
and placed at Intervals of about an
Inch. Perhaps an ornament of beads
at the shoulder line or girdle will be
all that a dress of this type needs. Al
together It Is a charming Idea, and
i
veil over only the upper half of the
face. It reaches about to tho tip of
tho nose, leaving tho mouth and low
er part of tho face uncovered. This
saves the trouble of taking it oft or
lifting it when it is necessary to take
a drink of water or at lunch time.
Besides, the veil lasts much longer, Is
more comfortable and in a good many
Instances more becoming when worn
In this way.
Of the six samples shown In the
picture four are woven with square
mesh. In the other two the hexagonal
or honeycomb inesh Is used. Three of
the patterns show plnin grounds with
light border designs along one edge,
two plain grounds with scattered fig
ures, and one both figures and scat
tered cross bars. Plain grounds with
narrow borders are the most popular
of all veilings.

At the right of the picture a hat of
plain velours, for the half-grown miss,
depends upon a plain band of narrow
grosgrain ribbon and an odd gay
feather cockade for Its decoration.
Special feather ornaments for the hats
of such youthful wearers are contriv
ed to suit them remnrkably well. A
hat of this kind Is worn by girls of all
ages from six to seventeon.
One of the beautiful klnnard hats,
which Is of purely American origin,
has Its place In the center of the pic
ture. . U Is made by crocheting che
nille or other materlnl over fine wire
supports, and Is a difficult piece of
work, which Is done by hand. Rut the
exquisite result warrants the labor
nnd has fastened upon this achieve
ment an expressive title as the aristo
crat In millinery. It Is trimmed in
many novel ways, made possible by
the method of constructing the hat.
But In tho model shown a band of bor
dered ribbon and a half wreath of tiny
silk-covered apples complete a perfect
piece of millinery for the small lady
of five. Hats of this kind are made to
measure, shaped and trimmed accord
ing to the age of the wearer.

The Birth of
Christ in the
Soul
IV REV. JAME3 M. CRAY. D. D.
D JUmit llitili lin
TEXT My little children, of whom I
travail In birth again until Christ b
formed In you. Qa-latlans i.Ui
I go out of the beaten path In this
Christmas message, and called to con-
j . template the birth
f '," " j of our Savior into
the world, I
would apply the
event to his birth
Into the individ
ual life. Oppor
tunity Is not af
forded for en
largement on tho
meaning of the
text, but,
I. It suggests
that the birth of
Christ Into the ex
perience of men Is
a process of three
stages. Christ
must be formed In
their understanding and in their will,
but especially In the affections which
mold their character and conduct.
Their understanding Is reached in tho
preaching of tho Word of God, but their
wills and affections are moved only as
tho power of the Holy Spirit accompa
nies that Word. This explains why
there Is much preaching and touching
of tho PIblo, and so llttlo effected In
tho conversion of souls. How much
Christians need to pray for their pas
tors, for tho Sunday school teachers
of their children, and, above all, for
themselves, that the unction of the
Holy One may rest upon them as they
witness for Christ, that their testi
mony may beget In others the new
life through faith in him.
The Second Adam.
II. nut the text suggests that the
birth of Christ in the soul would be
impossible had not Christ himself
been born into the world. Our nat
ural man could have to existence
without a natural progenitor, and this
is equally clear of our spiritual or
regenerated mnn. Why is Christ
called In Scripture the second Adam,
if not that he was, so to speak, a new
starting point for man, "the pure
spring of a redeemed race"? This
does not mean merely that he was
the purest, nobleBt and best man who
ever lived, but that In his humanity
ho was much more than any other'
man from Adam down. In a certain
sense humanity was reborn In tho
manger at Bethlehem: Redemption
begins by a new birth In the race
which Includes all men, at least to
this degree, that in Christ dwells
potentially all that all men need.
There is now a chance, which but
for tho incarnation of Christ never
could have been, that each of us may
become regenerated and begin our
life over again.
Put In speaking of tho humanity of
Christ, It must be kept In mind thnt
In his person there was united tho
two natures, tho human and the di
vine. Christ was man, but also ho
was God We are "nable to under
stand this mystery, but we accept it
by faith on abundant testimony, whllo
we adore and praise him that of his
fullness all we may receive, and grace
for grace.
Birth of Christ In the Soul.
III. Just as the Holy Ghost was
instrumental in the birth of Christ
into the world, so Is he necessary to
the blrtb of Christ in the soul. The
virgin could not have given birth to
the Son or Man had not the Holy
Ghost come upon her and the power
of the highest overshadowed her, and
it Is written that "no man can say
that Jesus is the Lord but by the
Holy Ghost." As the great Puritan
divine, John Owen, used to say, "We
can have no real design of conform
ity to Christ unless wo have their
eyes who beheld his glory." But how
shall we obtain those eyes if they
are not given us from above? The
natural man beholds no excellency in
Christ, and appreciates no need of
him as a Savior, until these experi
ences are begotten in him by super
natural power and grace. We have
referred to this before but It naeds
to be emphasized again and again.
IV. Finally, as the birth of Christ
Into the world marks the most Impor
tant era In the world, so the birth
of Christ into the soul marks the
most important era in the soul. It
Is this which turns the believer
"from darkness to light, and from the
power of Satan unto God." No con
verted man would change his experi
ence of solvation and the indwelling
Christ for all the world could glvo
him. It Ib this fact that makes the
rhrlstmastldo a time of Badness as
well as one of happiness and joy.
We Bee merriment about us, yet we
shrink from It as from the thought of
that Infidel who strove to balk the
King of Terrors by ordering in a
game of cards with his dying breath.
There is no Christmas Joy a believer
In Christ so earnestly covets as to
learn of some one who, bb a result of
his ministry, has come to interpret
the Christmas in the earth from the
point of view of a Christmas in the
bouI. While it is the work of the
Holy Spirit to perform this miracle of
grace In him, yet It is his dutr to
yield his will to blm that be may
perform it

LESSON FOR DECEMBER 6
CHRIST RISEN FROM THE DEAD.
LESSON TEXT Murk 16:1-8; Matt. 28:11.
IS.
GOLDEN TEXT Why seek ye the llv
Ing among the dad? lie Is not here, but
is rlnon. Luke 24:6, 8.
The death of Christ' made a pro
found impression, Luke 23:18, 49. Jo
seph, who had been, a secret disciple,
obtuined the body nnd gave It burial,
Mark 15: 411-47. In the lesson selected
for today we have, first, Mark's record
of tho discovery of the resurrection
by the women, and, second, Matthew's
record of how his enemies dealt with
that fact
I. The Resurrection Morn, Mark
16:1-8. The Sabbath ended at sun
down and the shops were then opened.
Mary Magdalene then purchased
spices that they might auolnt the dead
body of Jesus. They may have puld
the tomb a visit lute on Suturday, see
Matt. 28:1 R. V. Starting the next
morn, "while it was yet dark," John
20:1, they came to tho tomb to per
form their Inst service of gratitude
and love. He had no need of this serv
ice, Matt. 16:21; 20:19; however, It
was acceptable and they were reward
ed by receiving the first glimpse of
the risen Lord.
Women's Love Genuine.
The renson they did not expect to
see a risen Jesus was In their failure
to listen to and to ponder on his
words. The men also failed to com
prehend the note of his resurrection
which he so frequently sounded. In
deed, the report of these same women
is by these men considered "as idle
tales," Luke 24:11. The women ap
pear In a better light than the men In
this story. The women, especially
Mary Magdalene, Wed much because
he had done bo much for them. The
extent and the genuineness of their
affection Is found in that they went to
the tomb to serve Jesus when appar
ently hope had fled and fuith was
blighted, I Cor. 13:8 R. V. Their visit,
was the fulfillment of their ministry)
of love, yet It reveals the darkness ot
their minds. This was common to all
of his followers.
Approaching the tomb they are con
fronted by a new difficulty "Who
shall roll nway the stone?" The words
of verse four are significant "Look
ing up, tlu-y see that the stone Is rolled
back," Am. R. V. This undoubtedly
refers to the situation of the tomb and
their approach thereto, yet tho fact
remains that "looking up" most of out
diiriculties are removed. Let us be
constantly "looking unto him." It has
been suggested that God rolled away
tho stone, not thnt Jesus might get out,
but rather that the women might get
in. Mary found two angels sitting,
one at the head and one at the foot
where the body had lain, John 20:11,
12, and the two disciples to whom she
reported found tho linen cloth and the
napkin and "believed," John 20:2-9.
The women were overwhelmed with
perplexity and, like Peter and John,
"knew not the Scripture that he must
rise again from the dead." The an
gello message, "He is risen; he is not
here," was the sounding forth of a
message as great and as glorious as
that sounded by the angels on the
night of his birth.
Such experience and such knowledge
entails a definite burden of responsi
bility, therefore tho logical message
and command of verse seven. This is
also in accord with the Savior's last
earthly message, Mark 16:15; Matt
28:13-20. It Is natural for us to lin
ger In silent meditation at the place
of our greatest revelation or of our
deepest soul experiences, but these
women are urged to "go quickly."
The message of salvation Is too Im
portant to brook any delay.
Spread False Tale.
II. The Watch at the Sepulche,
Matt. 27:62-66 and 28:11-15. Evident
ly the manner of his death and his re
ported prophecies as to the resurrec
tion made an impression upon the ene
mies of Jesus. This guard Is nn ex
pression of the ultimate antagonism
of the priests and rulers. As this, the
morn of the first day of the week, up
proached tho guard saw the vision of
the angol and In Its presence became
bb dead men. When later they had re
covered they hastened Into the city
and reported to the priests the fact of
the coming of tho angel and that the
stone, upon which the seal rested, had
been removed. Bribed, they spread
abroad the tulo that tho disciples had
stolen his body. The falseness of
such a talo Is evidenced by the fact
that the rankest inlldol has not tho
temerity to make Btich a claim today.
The resurrection, as Paul ofllrms, is
tho declaration that Jesus Is the Son
of God. It is a vindication of his
supremacy and of the supremacy ot
the spiritual over the natural. We do
well to emphasize his birth, and to
dwell much upon his death, yet both
of these have no essential value apart
from the resurrection. Apart from
this and the cross is no more than
the tragic and awe-lnsjilrlng end of a
life that failed. Connecting the cross
with this demands that every thought
ful man should study It carefully. The
resurrection demonstrates that he
finished the work ot redemption.
Why Pheasant Is Valued.
Tho renown of the phensant as a
game bird is due to its skill in hid
ing itself on the ground, the fine
shots that it offers when driven from
cover, nnd the opportunities It affords
to the fine art ot cookery.
