With a sturt a young mun seated oo
the islindy step of a vacant house
aroused from mld-afternnou aomuo
lenie. lie had selected the spot to
get rest titid cool. He hud unconscious
ly paused the bounds of wakefulness,
and hud dozed.
A neftvliiK turmoil, a deafening P
roar nssuiled liis senses. He was evi
dently an alert, wide awake fellow, for
he waa on liis feet In a twinkling. He
viu almost carried off Ills balance as
a larse-size collie dot: rounded the cor
ner, a titi can tied to Its tall. The yells
of a pursuing crowd of urchins echoed
directly on the trail of the frightened
and exhausted animal.

They scattered and faded away wi ti

"You poor fellow! In need of a
friend, eh?" soothed Norman Hudson,
patting the slinky head of his new
acquaintance, who looked with deep
gratitude ftp Into bis eyes.
There was hutnnn pity repressed
In the tone of the speaker, there was
pathos In bis Reiitle caresses. Hud
Bon smiled, but sadly. It was a hard
world, and both he and the doR real
ized It Within the great, brave soul
of the man, however, was courage and
hope Indomitable. For all that affairs
were at their lowest ebb, and lie was
both penniless and hungry.
The doR lay down at liis feet, as
.though worn out anil content to repose
under such supreme guardianship. It

as if eager to guide Ilu-N:i Pi a di

Vlis headed.
"Oo home, old fellow!" .-r-l-n d Hud
son, accompanying the words with a
peremptory wave of the hand. lie
Would fain have kept this allei ionate
acquaintance with him, but le: r ci g
Iilzed grewsomely that Just at present
he was not able to keep himself. To
Ws surprise, the dog refused to budge,
and Hudson turned bis back and
moved on. lrutt"d to his side, ntlered
quite a growl and, seizing Hudson by
the coat, regarded him challengingly.
"Now, how shall I Interpret this?"
inusod Hudson. "The animal wishes
me to go with him. Why? Where?"
To the strange persistency of the
collie Hudson gave attention now. The
aninud released bis hold of the coat
(the moment Hudson changed his
course. Now, quite animated and wag
ging Ids tall la a satisfied way, the dog
trotted ahead of Hudson.
"Our canine friend seems to have
Some u.'-c for me, I see, and I'll follow
the adventure to the end," decided
Hudson.
It pleased his fancy and It made
Hudson forget his hunger, for he was
hungry. He was neither discouraged
nor hopeless. His was too bright a
spirit for that. He had come from a
country town, an orphan, with only a
brief experience ns n clerk In n local
general store, and hail for two months
found u position In a city business
place. The llrm had failed. Since
then, with empty pockets, the daily
program, had been a quest for new em
ployment. r.ad as the situation was, Hudson
had Inherited from It a most pleasing
memory. It was one of Hazel Koss.
Flie had worked In the same ollice. She
had liked Mm. seemed to have few
friends, and there was nn undertone
Cf sadnes.: in her life that made Hud
son believe she was under the? stress

ever, never Intruded on this, although
a mutual confldenro and Interest had
grown up between 'them. Thn the

"Water Fcoci Heat!" He Uttered,
Weakly.
After n steady progress of over a
inlie, the dog turned Into an unl'eneed
lot la a poor neighborhood. In Its cen
ter stood the wreck of n once preten
tious mansion. The upper windows
were protected by closed Iron shutter,
l'-clow, closed inside blinds shut out
' the merest view beyond the old and
dismantled window frames. Every
thing suggested decay aud disuse.
The (log led the way to a doorless
entrance to the cellar. Its dimness
caused Hudson to cautiously grope his
way. Ills guide ascended a flight of
steps and passed down a damp, dlsmul
hall, halting at a closed door. The
animal looked up Into Hudson's face.
"He lias done his part. Does mlua
lead beyond that door?" Hudson ques
tioned himself.
The animal grew linputl.'2t, lifted a
paw and noiselessly tapped at the
closed door. Hudson leaned forwurd
and listened lutetitly.
"Help!"
The utterance was weak, but
freighted wlih agony. Hudson pushed
open the door. Upon a coach In a cor
ner of the room lay a helpless, cadav
erous old man. His eyes lighted up
with relief and eagerness at the ap
pearance of Hudson,
"Water, food, heat!" he uttered
weakly. "Three days unnlile to move!
And the terrible fever! 1 could not
move even to get to the window to call
for aid."
Iueolionnlly the old man babbled
fortii the situation. Living alone bad
brought the penally of an almost fatal
Isolation. Hudson explained his In
cldeninl appearance on the scene. The
old man feebly patted the head of his
loyal animal friend.
"Water, food, heat!" The old mall
had pointed to a rear room, and Hud
son was f.oon busy about the little
kitchen. Within two hours he had
Oabrlel Itiishtou comfortable. With
in two more he had the conlldenee of
the recluse, whom he had reached Just
In time.
"1 was robbed, deserted by the false
hearted nephew who Induced me to

not loyal, and hoped f0r my death to

In feverish eagerness Ku-hinn Im

the love and protection of old Cul.riel

Novelties in Dress Accessories.
Among the most distinctive novelties
presented for evening wear are bright
little capes trimmed with white tnara
'oti. They are made of chiffon velvet,
a'leia, or satin, the gay colors that
ire used for cenlng wraps, and make
very useful substitutes for these more
ambitious garments. Turquoise and
other light blues, orchid, gold, rose,
and new shades of green make charm
ing combinations with wide bands of
marabou.
The capo shown In the picture Is of
light blue taffeta and Is simply 'n
straight strip of 'the silk gathered to
n band on each edge. The long ties at
the front are made of strips of sUk.
Mulshed with pleot edge, aud fasten the
cape with a big bow of two loops. The
merest amateur In sewing can manage
a cape of this kind. They are useful
to throw about the shoulders ut the
ten-dance, between dances, or any
where that a scarf Is needed.
Costume Blouse
The always popular crepe do chine
oud crepe georgette In blouses might
lose Interest, If interest were not con
stantly stimulated by variations lu
style. Iloth materials are presented In
models made to wear with tailored
suits, in less simple ones for formal
afternoon suits, and In wonderful cos
tume blouses that rivet the attention
on themselves.
The blouse of crepe do chine shown
here belongs to the last-mentioned
class. It is made with open throat
and fastens at the side under the col
lar. The full sleeves are gathered Into
narrow cuffs. Two buttons, with simu
lated buttonholes, are placed at the
front, two others appear on the girdle
and one on each cuff. All buttonholes
are worked wlih dark-colored silk.
This clever management of the fas
tenings is in harmony wlih the very
handsome embroidery, of our Egyptian
motif, which appears at each side of
the front. Fine needlework counts for
so much In blouses of all kinds, and
It Is a pretentious feature of the cos

God. which Is your aplrltuul service.
Horn. 12:1 U. V.
The first 11 chapters of this let
ter tench nnd Illustrate the great
principles of tho Christian life. Paul
calls It "my Gospel." Its funda
mental principle Is thnt Justlllentlon
regenerates men, nnd nothing else,
The second section Is the practical ap
plication of these truths.
I. The Exhortation to Gratitude
(vv. 1-2). "Therefore," because of the
work of Christ on our behalf, we are
to present our bodies as living
sacrifices unto God, to he used for
his glory and service. (See chapter
0:13, 10, 10). I'nul urges, he beseeches;
ho Is winsome, though ho might com
mand. To "present" technically means,
"bring an offering to Ood." The body
Is the sum- of nil human faculties,
physical nnd spiritual. It must not be
defiled by being yielded ns an. Instru
ment to sin, for It Is the temple of
God. (I Cor. 3:10, 17). A "Living Of
fering," (not as the bodies of slain
animals offered by Jews) Is a conse-
crutlon of the body, and not a destruc
tion of life. The original means that
this the offering of ourselves as a
living sacrifice Is a reasonable, ra
tional service. God hns the right of
ownership of every member of our
body, nnd there never was n day when
there was greater need of insisting
upon a Christianity that affects the
bodies of men than today. Hands, lips,
ears, eyes every member should be
constantly presented to him who pur
chased It by the blood of his own Son.
(I Cor. 0:0; I lvt. 1:18-19.) This
is n spiritual, religious service be
cause It Is our spirit which presents
thif offering of the body which he In
habits. Ton tunny of us are "fash
ioned according to this age." When
the mind Is iniide new, old things pass
uwny (II Cor. 5:17). We have new
thoughts, new desires, new purposes,
new affections, new tastes, new am
bitions, new Ideals; everything Is new.
II. The Expression of Gratitude
(vv. 3-S). Or the right use of the gifts
of God. (1) Avoid "self-conceit" (vv.
8-5). These verses Indicate how Im
portnnt this subject Is. Conceit Is en
tertaining an exaggerated opinion of
one's own ability. The church has
many members, and they do not all
have the same ollice; there Is a variety
In the unity of the body. So In the
church there are many "members In
one body," each of which Is Important;
all ure essential. (!') "I'rophcey"
(v. C), not necessarily foretelling, hut
the revelation of .spiritual truth und
experience according to the propor
tion of our faith (l's. 3J) :.?), the living,
spiritual experience of the presenco of
God within us. (3) "Ministry" (v. 7).
The business side of the church, col
lecting of Its money und the distribu
tion to the poor. Some can best at
tend to such business. Many churches
fall by not selecting wise leaders for
this work. (I) "Ho that teacheth."
The true pastor Is u combined proph
et, pastor and teacher. We are all
teaching, whether we wish to or not.
It Is a privilege ns well as an obliga
tion. (5) "Ile thnt exhorteth" (v.
8) ; tills word Is closely akin to the
word comforter, of which John and Bar
nabas were shining examples. (See
Acts 4 ::i(i)w (C) "He that glveth," do
it with simplicity, unmixed motives;
according to the revised version, "lib
erally." (7) "lie that ruleth;" those
who ure appointed or chosen to take
charge of departments of church work
are not to fall In diligence. (8) "lie
that showeth mercy" must do It with
cheerfulness or hilarity for the Joy of
the privilege.
III. Conduct Toward All Men (vv.
0-21). The renewed soul needs guid
ance, encouragement und instruction.
(1) "In love" (v. 0). The hypocrite
wears a mask. Notice the close con
nection of "ubhor thut which Is evil"
with "cleave to that which Is good."
The word for cleave means llterully
to glue It, so that nothing can sepurate
you from love which Is the supreme
good. "In honor preferring one an
other" (v. 10). Let others carry the
banner few of us can stand this ucid
test. (3) "Diligent In business" (v.
11) . Whatsoever your hands find to
do, do It with your might, being fer
vent or boiling In spirit, the reverse of
tho previous exhortntlon, In that which
we are thus to serve the Lord. Few
need exhortation to be diligent in their
own business, but all of us need this
exhortation with regard to the "king's
business." (-1) "Rejoicing In hope (v.
12) . Triumphing over trials and diffi
culties In the way. Looking for that
"blessed hope" (Titus 2 :l.'l). (5) la
Uence and tribulation (v. 12). The
Latin "tribulum" was the threshing In
strument or roller whereby the hus
bnndmun separated grain from the

are the means for separating men from
the chaff of their lives. Sometimes
small annoyances, long continued, be
come great tribulations. (See Joshua
24:12.) (0) Continuing In the school
of prayer (v. 12). Steadfast, urgent,
pressing, persevering prayer (Luke
12:1). (7) "Given to hospitality" (v.
13) ; literally, pursued It, going after
It. (8) Our treatment of those who
persecute us (v. 11). "When the dog
barked at tho moon It kept shining
right on." I). L. Jloody.
(0) "Sympathy with others" (v. 15).

The Man at the
Sheep Gate
By REV. JAMES M. GRAY, D. D.
Dean of Moody Bibl Institute,
Chicago
TEXT Wilt thou be made whole? John
:6.
This question was asked by out
Lord of hi in who is known to Bible
readers as the Im
potent mun at the
sheep gate.
Jesus was In Je
rusalem, and was
passing by the
gnte t h r o n g h
which the sheep
for sacrifice were
driven Into the
city. Near this
gate was a pool
of water of heal
1 n g properties,
nnd around the
pool porches
erected for the
ailing who gath
ered there for Its
physical benefits. In these porches
were ninny sick folk, hut there was
one whose case was most hopeless of
nil. For eight und thirty years had
he been a sufferer, and oh I how long
had he waited to get Into the pool, but
In vain. lie was too weulc to walk
or crawl into It himself, und never
hud there been a friend ready at the
right moment to help him In. Hope
less was he ns well as helpless. Type
of the sinner who conscious of his
lost condition before God, hns tried
every human means to save himself
without avail.
To this man Jesus addressed him
self, not merely because Ids condition
was the worst, but because he knew
he had come to the end of himself.
Jesus can never aid a man until he
gets there, simply because the mun Is
not ready to receive his uld, to yield
himself up to he saved.
(1) The question he put to him Is
one of health, "Wilt thou he nuido
whole?" In this case physical health
was in the foreground, but ns the
story goes on spiritual health followed.
In the cuse of the sinner toduy spirit
ual health is usually In the foreground,
but not infrequently physical health
follows. Sin Is the cause of many of
our diseases, aud when that is put
away through faith In Christ we get
well all round. However, spiritual
health means salvation full .salvation.
Christ Jesus makes thee whole." Ho
removes the guilt of sin by Ids work
on thw cross, and the power of sin by
his wink within us through his Holy
Spirit.
(2) But this Is also a question of
will, "Wilt thou be made whole?"
There was no doubt about It In this
muu's case, so fur as his bodily better
ment wus concerned, but there often Is
on tiie part of men whose souls ure lu
dunger.
Iu an evangelistic meeting a few
weeks ago I talked with n man who
was literally trembling under convic
tion of sin. He said he knew he was
lost, yet he could not he persuaded to
receive Jesus as his Savior. In his
Instance it was a fear that he would
not be able jo hold out, for he could
not be brought to see that the one
who wns ublo to save hlin was equully
able to keep hlui saved.
Others hesitate, however, because
of some secret sin they are hugging
to their breasts, or some gratifying
habit they will not relinquish, or some
Iniquitous business whose profits they
are loath to lose. Let any such think
of It Just now, that present and eternal
salvation from sin and Its conse
quences Is here offered them In Christ
If they really want It, if they nre will
ing to be saved ! What a responsibil
ity rests upon us human beings in tho
possession of a free will 1
(3) Iu the third place, therefore.
this is a question of faith. "Wilt
thou be made whole?" It is not some
thing you can do for yourself, but
which another must do for you, only
you must yield yourself tu him to do
It. How often men trust themselves
absolutely to a physician of the bodyH
permitting him to ndniiulster poison
to them, or to plunge his knife Into
their vitals if ho soys it Is needful for
their recovery? They trust them
selves to other men lu business nnd in
vest their all upon advice they give
them. In a higher moral sense a
woman trusts her life to the mun
she marries as her husband. We nre
nil trusting ourselves every day In the
fullest physical sense to mechanical
and scientific appliances of men,
which, it they should fall, would drop
or hurl us Into eternity In n moment
Yes, even In the mental and religious
spheres we nre trusting 'ourselves to
quacks, and frauds and counterfeits
who are promising pence, and prosper
ity and future blessings and so mak
ing merchandise of our souls.
Why not trust Jesus Christ? Why
not commit ourselves to him? He has
said, "If any man' wllleth to do his
will (1. e., the will of God) he shall
know of the doctrine. Whether it
Is of God or whether I speak of my
self." No man ever lost anything by
trusting him. ' No man ever regretted
surrendering bis life to hlin. Suppose
you do so and are disappointed, you
are no worse off than you were before;
but suppose you fall to do so nnd are
forever lost, what then?
(4) Iu the last analysis, therefore,
this Is a question for you, "Wilt thou
be made whole?" Io not seek to
ovoid It; Do not Imagine It must be
meant for someone else. For the pur
pose Is disclosed there Is not another
being In tho universe Just now but thy
self. What Is thy name? Just sub
stitute It for the word "thou." Should
you like your sins forgiven, your soul
justified, your heart cleansed, your
llfo- changed, your future absolutely
and gloriously secured 1 O, hearken
to Jesus, If thnt Is true, and know
what It Is us this man did to "rise up
and walk."
