NEw York City.—The following reada- ble and helpful sermon is by the Rev. Dr. -J. Wilbur Chapman, the best known evan- gelist in the country and one of the most popular pulpit orators of New York. It is entitled “A Narrow Escape,” and was preached from the text, “How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation?” Hebrews 2: 3. { The wonder of wonders in this world is the plan of salvation for the sinner through Jesus Christ. It is so wonderful that the man with the greatest mind the worid has ever known has never yet been able to think his way through #, and at the same time it is so simple that the smallest child in your home can appreciate # -enough of it to be saved. The first chapter of Hebrews presents to as the dignity of Christ. He is at the right hand of God; He is better than the an- gels; when the elements have melted with a fervent heat, He still exists; when the heavens have been rolled together as a seroll, He shall still be the very power of “God. With such a description as this in the first chapter we come naturally to the first part of the second chapter. There- fore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard lest at any time we should let them slip. Cunard steamer was making her way across the Atlantic Ocean when the pas- sengers sere startled with a cry of “man overboard.” Immediately every one was filled with excitement. € man sprang to the edge of the vessel and shouted, “I will give a thousand pounds to any one who will save the man that is sinking, for ‘he is my brother.” Every sailor was ready to throw himself into the sea if only he could win the reward and save the man. “The captain manned the lifeboat, and soon a cheer went up because they had laid hands upon the sinking one. The lifeboat »came near the great steamer, ropes were fastened around the man and the signal was given to lift him up. Just as they were reaching out their hands to make his salvation sure the ropes slipped, and fall- ing he struck his head upon the lifeboat, bounded into the sea and was gone for- «ever. The writer of the Epistle to the He- brews must have had some such picture as this in his mind when he said, “We ought to give the more earnest heed lest at any time we should let them slip.” I have known of people coming nearer to the kingdom of God than that, just one step and they would have been saved, but they slipped away, and then gave up hope. ee are three words around which my thoughts would centre, Great, Escape and Neglect. I. It is a great salvation because it dis- «closes to us a great Saviour, shows us how we may be saved from great sin, and also reveals how we may be restored to great ‘holiness and happiness. . First, it is great in its author. The name of an author will frequently sell a book, and the name of the author of the plan of salvation ought to commend it to every o..e. If He 1s the author two things are true. First that we need not be afraid of Him, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son.” Luther tells us of the little gir], the child «of the man who printed his first Bible. He was a member of the Church of Rome. and the child had been taught that God «could only be approached by means of pen- ance and sacrifice. One day in the print- -er’s office she found a little crumpled piece of paper which contained a part of this verse, which Luther called the “Gospel in a nutshell;”” all she found was, “God so loved the world that He gave—" Tt produced a great impression upon her. One day her mother heard her singing and asked the secret of her happiness. She an- -swered by showing her the little piece of paper, and her mother said, “What does it mean?’ for, she said, “it does not tell us what He gave.” The child’s reply was, “If He loved us’ well enough to give us anything, we need not be afraid of Him.” Again, if God is the author, His is the only way of salvation. Men decide to come to God by the way of reformation, or by the power of resolution, but this profits nothing, for reformation may touch the present, and may possibly avail for the fu- ture, but it cannot touch the past. If a man is in your debt $1500 and comes to fell you that he has decided never to go into debt again, you may tell him that he is making a fine resolution, but you will mot tell him that his good resolution pays “his indebtedness to you, for that is a trans- action of the past. The wonderful thing about the plan of salvation is that it pro- vides an atonement touching the sins of the present, makes provision for the fu- ture, and blotting out the transgressions of the past. It is great also in its sacrifice. The way back to God has always been sprinkled with blood. Study the Old Tes- tament and you will find this is true. But when the sins of men became so great that the blood of bulls and goats would not suffice then Christ died for our sins, ac- cording to the Scriptures. It was my privilege some time ago to preach to the convicts in the State Peni- tentiary of Tennessee. I said to them I can give you the secret of getting almost any amount of money, and their Se in- stantly were a study, for the most of them were In prison for trying to get money in their own way. But this is the secret I zave them. Take a piece of paper and write down upon it the atnount of money you want, the length of time you want if, sign your name to it and carry it to the bank. But this will profit you nothing, be- «cause you have not found the secret. It is thus frequently that men stand before God and ask to be saved. If vou will take that piece of paper to some one whose name stands for money, then have him write his name upon the back of it and carry it to the bank, you will be surprised to gee what a different position you have, and you will receive the money, not be. cause of what you are, but because of what your security is. It is thus we have our Standing before’ God; our security is per- fect, and simple faith unites us to Him. It is great also in its pardon and for- giveness. Pardon means more with God than with men. With men a pardon may open the prison doors and send the guilty one back to his home, but if he is a mur- derer the chances are he will have a few peaceful nights, and then in his dreams as well as in his waking moments his sin will be before him. This is because he is par- doned and not justified. When God par- dons us He justifies freely and forever. And forgiveness means more with God than with man. When we forgive we con- stantly remember the one who has sinned against’ us, bat God forgives and remem- bers against us our transgressions no more forever. : A distinguished minister, in preaching to men specially, told the story of his own life, how he had almost broken his moth- er’s heart, made her hair gray before the time, and made her blush to think that he was her son. Then told how God had for- given him, and when he made his appeal the effect was profound. His officers gath- ered around him to say kind words about his sermon, but when they left there came an old woman with gray hair and bent form. She threw her arms about. his neck and said, “My son, wiy did you tell it; you never was bad in ail this world #? and this was his mother. He had almost broken her heart, and yet for her mother’s love she had forgotten it all. This was a pic- ture of God remembering our tr sions no more forever. The Script «where they never can be found. They are cast behind God’s back, so that now He is between the sinner and his sins. They are taken from him as far as the east is from the west, a distance which cannot be measured. ‘When preaching one day in Philadelphia, in the Young Men’s Christian Association, the Secretary told me of a man sitting in the rear of the room, a most awful sight to behold. He had been sleeping in the streets, but the services had touched him and he ¢ame to Christ. He became an honored member of my own church. He was a professor of mathematics, and had been slain by the power of strong drink. It was my custom to hold a service every Sunday morning for men in that church and one morning I told them that God had cast their sing as far from them as the east from the west. Then I turned to this old professor and asked him if he could tell me how far that was. He instinct: ively reached for his pencil and his note bool, then suddenly burst into tears, say- ing, “It can’t be: measured. For if you put your stake here with the east before you and the west behind you, you can go around the world and come back again to the stake, and the east is still before you and the west behind you.” ‘“I'hank God,” said he, “that is where my sins have gone.” It has become somewhat unpopular in these days to preach concerning the lost world, but it is not what I think I must preach, rather what the Bible states. “I ave an argument with you,” said a man who had listened to the minister preach- ing. “What is it?” said the minister. “I do not believe what you said about the Jost world.” “Oh,” said the minister, “you have an argument with God, not with myself.” And since it is true, therefore, that Ged speaks continually and warms constantly, is it not right that I should present the claims of the great salvation. II. Neglect.. It is possible for one to so tonstantly neglect God’s appeals that after a while his heart will become like a stone. It is said that the little birds that build their nest in the Trinity steeple scascely lift their heads when the chimes ring out, be- cause they have become so accustomed to the ringing of the bells. An. one may be- come so accustomed to Christ and His story that he may hear it with perfect in- difference. IT am on the river in a boat and the rapids are before me. I need only neglect the oars to be lost. I am in a burning building, and in order that I may be lost I need only neglect the fire escape. I am a sinner, and if am to be lost finally it is only necessary that I ‘should neglect Him who died that I might live. In the city of Minneapolis I stood some years ago looking at the ruins of the Min- neapolis Tribune building, and heard the story of those mem who perished because they were on the upper floor gathering to- gether important papers and waited too long to descend by the elevator, and even too long to come down by the fire escape. But at last they started, nine of them. The last man eould not hold on to the hot iron of the fire escape, and in falling struck those beneath him, and the nine perished, all because they neglected. III. Escape. How shall we escape? This is the im- portant question, and the answer is writ- fen in large letters throughout God’s word. First, stop trying to be a Christian and trust Him, trust Him who promises to save you. When Mr. Moody was going through an after meeting in Scotland he saw two girls crying. Stopping to assist them if he could one of them said she wanted to be a Christian, and taking out. his Bible he asked her if she could receive God’s prom- ise in John 5: 24. Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that heareth My word and believeth on Him that sent Me hath ever lasting life and shall not come into con- demnation, but is passed from death unto life. She told him she could. The next night he found them in the same place and was curious to know if they were still in the darkness. He heard the girl of the night before saying, “I say, lassie, do just as I did, grasp a promise and hold on to it, and He will save you.” And this is true for us all. Again, if we would have Christ save us we must believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. To believe in Him is not enough; to believe on Him is to throw ourselves at His feet, by faith lay hold of Him. And having done this, He will be true to His word, and your name shall be written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. Happiness. Happiness! Oh, how we want it. There is not a man, woman or child that is not seeking for it, and asking the question “Where can it be found?” In the pur- suit of happiness men are Tunsing thither and thither indulging in every form of amusement and more often of vice, to satisfy the cravings for it. True, happiness is not to be found among the fleeting things of earth, for God never put it into them, and nothing is of more value than He intended. The will of God is the only thing in the universe. Earth, air, and water alike are controlled by it. Every law of body, mind, and spirit is but an expression of that will. All creation but man obeys that will, which causes the only discordant note in creation. Hence, out of harmony with the Divine will causes the only unhappiness, and makes man. the only unhappy creature. God wants all of us to be happy to enjoy this beautiful old earth made for His creatures. And the only way to do it is to pv yourself in har- mony with that will. then will come the peace and joy that passeth all understand- ing to your heart and zaind, and the earth will seem fairer than o¥ér before. This is no phantasma, but a veali"y attested to in every generation.—W. II. Morehouse. Spear Points. Prayer is the abiding background in the life of the Christian. Prayer 1s a holy art, in which the best of us are but beginners. When God plans our way, He will not neglect’ to provide for our wants. vod never makes us feel our weakness except to lead us to seek strength from im. When we make all the centre of life God becomes a mere point on a far-off circumference. The ground of the Christian’s hope is God’s word and God’s oath, sealed by His ove. If God puts you in a dark place it may be a compliment to the light that is in you.—Ram’s Horn. Prayed For a Revivals It is said that in a certain town in New York a good many years ago there occurred a great revival of religion, the work be- ginning without any known cause. The inquiry was made, “Who is praying? This work must be in answer to somebody’s prayers.” It was afterwards learned that two old church members, who lived one mile apart, had made arrangements to meet half way between them in a piece of thick bushes every evening at a to - pray God to revive His work, Their pray- ers were answered, and one hundred and fifty were added, during the months of July, August and September, to the church. The Pentecostal revival did not begin with preaching, but with prayer. ee mY Service. . The old idea of service was that it twas degrading. With Christ came the change. And his announcement that. the perfect life is one of service for others has been confirmed by mature. Not a molecule ex-' ists for its own sake only, but for other parts. The ideal is one of service.—The Rev. James Grant, Watertown, Mass. Only six pounds out of every 100 pounds when we come to Him our into the depths of the sea. ns a I Se( This must be | of paper manufactured are used for mak- ing books. Tight Gloves. Tight gloves are worse than tight shoes. The shoes may give a dainty look to the foot in spite of the tor- tures endured, but tight gloves make the hands fat and red and ugly. The flesh bulges out and wrinkles form. Gloves should be worn so easily fitting that rings may remain under them. The red, creased look of the palm when gloves are too tight is abomin- able. The maiden who wears the glove is the only one who is deluded into the belief that her hand looks well in it. Siamese Dress and Jewels. Now that ladies wear so many jewels in the day time a sequence of color should be thought out. The Siamese arrangement may, perhaps, afford sug- gestions. In that country on Sunday red silk with a parure of rubies is worn; Monday brings a silver and white dress and a necklace of moon- stones; Tuesday is dedicated to light red, with coral ornaments; ‘Wednesday is devoted to green, with emeralds; Thursday sees a display of variegated colors, with cat’s eyes; Friday the lady is arrayed in pale blue with flashing diamonds; and Saturday the more sombre, darker blue, with sapphires to matech.—London Graphic. Beribboned Arm-Tops. While too many frills are not to be commended for a tiny daughter a fond mamma occasionally evolves some lit- tle touch that is as pleasing as it is becoming, One thought as much upon seeing a rosy little girl in sheerest white the arm-~holes of her frock being outlined with two or three inch pink ribbon. A few stitches had been tak- en to prevent the ribbon from becom- ing mere strings. These ribbons were tied on the tops of the arms, the bows being neither small nor very large. The same sized bow of the very same rib- bon was tied around the top hair in the very sensible way which now keeps the unmanageable tresses out of the little one’s eyes. No doubt one reason for the admirable effect gained in this instance was the skill with which the ribbon had been chosen. It was just the delicately rosy shade that brought the hidden roses in the little maid’s cheeks. An Ubiquitous Material. Was there ever before any one mat- erial which served in one and the same season for bathing suits, outing suits, walking suits, tailor costumes, travel- ing and coaching cloaks, promenade ind evening wraps, house dresses, visit- ing costumes and evening dresses? You may think this last far-fetched, but it is true that a very fine silky white mohair, prettily made, is very attractive of an evening, and especially useful at the seashore, where many materials are far from satisfactory. Mo- hair is, of course, the material to which we refer. About the same thing may be said of taffeta, which is also used for every- thing, and for all ages. In fact, it even outdistances mohair, being superior for linings and petti- coats especially. The more one thinks of such con- trasting uses of a material the more one marvels.—Philadelphia Record. The Sandow Girl. The Sandow girl is in style. The new shirt waists are built so that a woman looks twice as wide as she is. In her skirt she looks narrower, for skirts are very clinging and they are fitted as far down as the knees. But the figure must be broad and apparently muscular, so that the midsummer woman comes very near being top-heavy. The new waists are made with the shoulder plait. This is a fold of cloth which is put on in such a manner that it projects over the shoulders. In cer- tain shape it is called the “Gibsonian,” and its immediate effect is to make the shoulders look very wide. It is really more becoming to a slender. woman than to a plump one, but both styles are wearing it and you are gradually getting used to the woman who looks twice as broad as she did in the spring. Sleeves display the same pecularity. They are tucked in rows of tucking running around the arm and they are trimmed with bands of lace going round and round, all of which tend to make the sleeve large and the arm big. —Milwaukee Sentinel. Prize Packets. Many owners of the marquise and chevaliere rings that fashion has order- ed for her favorites, and which have been given as presents, are discover- ing that ther pretty ornaments are un- expected prize packets, which only chance can reveal to them, says Wom- an’s Life. When carelessly twisting one of these rings roung her finger a well known Parisienne was surprised to find the top of her ring suddenly spring open and reveal within its depths the tiniest miniature of her favorite pet kitten. Another, testing her own ring, met with a like surprise, to find her own face smiling back at her. Miniature portraits of the givers are more general, and on inquiry at a lead- ing jeweler’s, where the most costly of Jewelry novelties first see the light, it | was confessed that quite a number of rings fitted with these tiny springs, and onclosing some little photo, or the petal of a certain flower, have been made, though their contents have not yet been discovered. Only an accidental touch is likely to re- lease the spring, for not even to the giver, but only to the maker, is tae secret known. Women’s Opportunities, That the industrial field for women in this country is looked upon as a veri- table Eldorado by some English writ- ers on the subject is evidenced by the glowing account of the opportunities at the command of American women and the salaries paid for various kinds cf that appeared in a recent issue of an influential London weekly. Teach- ing and typewriting are stated as the staple occupations of women of edu- cation and ability. The average rate of salary for capable well trained teach- ers, it is stated, is “from $800 to $1200 a year, while head mistresses and col- lege professors receive proportionately ‘more. All teachers have a summer va- cation of from three to four months, which many energetic teachers make profitable by giving private lessons or tutoring in the various summer resorts, by chaperoning girls to Europe or in many other ways which entail neither loss of prestige nor of social posi- tion.” Concerning the occupation of steno- graphy and typewriting is this com- ment: “The typewriter is an adjunct of every business office in the United States, and its operator is usually a woman. Here salaries begin at $10 a week and go up to $40 or $50 a week, or even higher, in cases where expert knowledge is required, as in a law of- fice, or in connection with medical work.”—Brooklyn Eagle. The Decline of the Apron. It is about forty years since the pop- ularity of the apron began to wane. At that time no woman’s wardrobe was complete without an assortment of aprons for all sorts of occasions. A black silk apron was the acme of ele- gance and propriety, and any nonde- script gown could, by the addition of the black silk apron, trimmed with a few, rows of black velvet ribbon, be dignified and adorned to the utter satis- faction of the wearer. An apron had rather a wide field of usefulness when you consider that it not only preserved and embellished a new gown, but it also concealed the de- fects, and added dignity to an old one. An apron was always en regle. The best dress was kept clean by its use, and the daintiness of it represented all the fem- inine traits. It was a regular banner of the home. To its strings the chil- dren were tied. “Tied to his mother’s apron strings!” Contemptuous expression of subordina- tion! And yet so much sentiment at- tached to it! Whoever was tied to his mother’s apron strings was compara- tively safe—was in his mother’s lead. Mother's apron! The baby was rolled in it. Childish tears were dried with it. The little boys used its strings for reins, and the little girls played prin- cess and trailed its ample folds behind them, real ladies in waiting to an im- aginary queen. Those were ante-new woman days. Knitting and needlework were femin- ine occupations. It was previous to the day of higher education for women. It may sound far fetched to say that home sentiment waned with the decline of the apron. The latter may not have been the cause, but it certainly kept pace with it. I have the written state- ment of a man to the effect that a snow white apron tied neatly about a trim waist had power to attack the mascu- line heart at its most vulnerable point. After that say there is no sentiment about an apron! But man cherishes sentiment about things of which the feminine mind has no conception, and his heart has been many times ensnar- ed in the muslin bow that tied at the back of his, sweetheart’s waist this banner of the home. The last was about the man of a generation ago. But the man of today has the same senti- ment—Ilatent.—Woman’s Home Com- panion. Long strings of beads made of burnt wood, carved and tinted. are very pretty. ’ Small pockets stitched on the left front of shirt waists are very chic and stylish. The water lily in black represents one of the novelties in floral millinery garniture. The most fashionable veils are black and white or black tulle with half mocn or tiny stars on the plain grounds. Very pretty bracelets of irregularly shaped pearls in varying tints, caught together with gold links, are finding much favor. Spanish laces in small figured de- signs, stars and dots, are to be seen in borders of handkerchiefs that have centres of silk. A wrist bag of gray suede is studded with turquoises, the mounting being set with a row of turquoises and Rhine stones in alternation. China silk underbodices, full in front with straight back, cut high in the { neck and finished with elbow sleeves, are very nice to wear under sheer white batiste blouses. A very pretty finish is given a waist | by a white lace collar, edged with finely plaited black chiffon, which in turn is bordered with a narrow chiffon ruching. It givis the bertha effect and breadth to the shoulders. Cieaning Jewelry. Jewelry can be beautifully cleaned by washing in soapsuds in which a few drops of spirits of ammonia are stirred, shaking off the water and laying in a box of dry sawdust. This method leaves no marks or scratehes, Unique Color Scheme. A unique color scheme in furnish- ings was carried out by a bride who wished her kitchen to be different from the ordinary type. She had the walls of the tiny apartment, for it formed part of a flat, tinted a light blue and then bought all her utensils, of enameled ware in a color to match. Tea Leaves Are Useful. Tea leaves should never be thrown away. They are excellent cleansers of woolen fabrics, especially carpets. Sprinkle them over the carpets just before sweeping. They can also be put to other uses. When a few days old pour boiling water over them and leave until nearly cold; strain and use the water for washing paint. White paint may be easily cleaned by rub- bing it with flannel that has been dipped into whiting, A Water Softener. A delightful water softener for the bath is made by mixing together two and a half pounds of fine oatmeal, four ounces of powdered castile soap and eight ounces of powdered orris root. A yard of butter muslin should be formed into bags four inches square, and then be filled with the ingredients mentioned, One of them put into the bath and used as a sponge will greatly improve the complexion and texture of the skin. The Desk Set. In the evolution and constantly in- | creasing charm of desk sets, a particu- larly attractive one has appeared. The corners of the blotter and the cover- ing of the paper holder, boxes and hand blotter are all of gray sea lion leather trimmed with oxidized silver. The inkstand is of cut glass and sil- ver. The paper holder is rather broad- er than the usual kind, and is round- ed in front. Plain and oxidized brass increases in popularity for desk sets, and can be had at more reasonable prices than formerly.—New York Tri- bune. Ideal Bed Covering. The bed covering of the ideal bed must be as light and warm as possi- ble. The less weight there is in the bedclothes, and the greater their warmth, the more desirable they are. Heavy cotton filled comfortables and old-fashioned quilts represent so much weight in proportion to their actual warmth that they must be discarded for blankets of wool. Blankets are becoming less expensive, and are with- in the reach of almost every sne. The lighter, simpler and more easily reached by air and sunlight every ar- ticle of bedroom furniture is, the bet- ter it is for the health of the occu- pant of the room. 8700 SEHoLD RECYPES 29% 9 vo Batter Bread—Half a cupful of ¢old boiled hominy, half g cupful of white Indian meal, two eggs, one cupful of milk, one teaspoonful of salt, two lev- el teaspoonfuls of baking powder, one- fourth cupful of melted butter; pour in a buttered earthen dish and bake half an hour.
