Fluffy simplicity, so to speak, should be aimed at, any tendency to severity of outline being extremely unbecoming to the un- formed figure. At the same time un- due fussiness should be likewise avoid- ed, and all the little etceteras such as belts, collars, ties, and so forth: showid be of scrupulous neatness. Th» Bride’sfVeil. “Harper's Bazar, thé acknowledged -authority on fashions, good form and éntertainment, announces the adoption of the tulle veil instead of the old-fash= toned lace veil for brides. The reason for this, the Bazar explains, is that a grandmother’s or mother’s wedding veil is not always a thing of joy to deal with, even when the lace is exceeding- 1y beautiful. Its folds sometimes hang in too stiff lines, or it is ef a shape or tength almost impossible to drape be- comingly. The tulle veil, on the con- trary, can be most easily arranged and made becoming, while, if desired, it may be.bordered with handsome lace. Public Kissing in Disfavor. No wonder the much-made-up beau- ties of to-day no longer kiss one anoth- er in public, for complexions are not to be trified with, and such osculations sometimes prove damaging to “peaches and cream” and the nut-brown tint so fashionable at present. There are three reasons for the passing of this custom. One is that the exaggerated hats many women wear are likely to come in collision, to the damage of voses and paradise plumes as well as to wearers’ tempers. Then the elaborate, gauzy neckpieces are crushed easily and lose their pristine freshness. Third, flowing veils become a tangled mass of chiffon or net, and the large velvet spots, with too rough treatment, easily become detached. All these points have so affected feminine nerves that the manly handshake has ‘“‘come in,”’— New York Press. Sweets For Children. The old theory that sugar is deleter- fous for children is now exploded, the latest dictum of food specialists being that it is a food especially adapted to children, because of their great activ- ity, says an exchange. The amount of sugar to be given and the form in which it is to be supplied are still ques- tions of much importance. Until a child reaches its second year the natur- al sugar in the milk supplies all that is necessary, but after that sweets of a wholesome nature eaten at regular meals are considered beneficial. Most people still agree that sugar should not be used with the breakfast mush or porridge or wheat or oatmeal, but is better furnished in simple puddings, custards, cookies, loaf sugar or home- made candy. Sweet fruits, such as figs and dates, are exceedingly wholesome, and should be freely furnished.—New York Mail. Tokens of Devotion. It isn’t necessary for a woman to embroider her fiancee a waistcoat, as Mrs. Nicholas Longworth is said to have done, to testify her devotion, for there are attentions that can be show- ered on the man which he will proba- bly like better. One is to work his monogram or interlacing initials on his shirt sleeve just above the cuff and an- other to make him one of the popular chamois bags for traveling, which fill a long felt want among men’s needs. On colored shirts the embroidery is done in the prevailing shade of the ma- terial and serves the practical object of a laundry mark as well. To make the collar bags a circle of chamois cov- ered cardboard about seven inches in diameter has a plain strip of chamois also seven inches in depth sewn about it. A draw string finishes the bag and serves to hold the collars during a journey.—New York Sun. Weeping Woman is Passing. The woman of all human history has been weeping, in disheveled locks, so to speak, clasping the knees of stern man, imploring, entreating, wringing her hands, “unpacking her heart with words.” The modern woman is doing nothing of the kind. She gets, to begin with, the university training, either at home or abroad (Miss Tarbell went to the Sorbonne and the College de France, and Mrs. Mary H. Hunt was professor of chemistry at Patapsco In- stitute, Baltimore, before her mar- riage), organizes her work like a “cap- stain of industry,” with stenographers, assistants in statistical research, takes counsel of able lawyers, makes lists of legislators and lobbyists, and counts noses on the pending bill. Then she looks after the dubious precisely as captains of industry do when tariff clause or corporation grab trembles in the balance. When the vote comes and goes against her she takes her punish- ment “like a man,”’and immediately begins mending her fences, for the next session of the Legislature; or if she wins in her own State she immediately moves on to the rest of the States.— Letter in the Boston Transcript. Housekeep!ng Demands Intellect, The Philanderer has lately encoun- tered a mother who, passing through a valley of experience in invalidism, has tested to the remeotest crevice all the bitter meanings of the word, so singu- larly expressive, in-valid. During her hard term of seeming uselessness it became needful that her college-bred daughter should take up those reins of government, previously held in the mother’s quietly competent hands. No wrinkles of maladministration had ever shown on the polished surface of that home, says Good Housekeeping. 'Here had been, apparently, an instance of home-making and house-keeping ac- complished as it were effortlessly, with the left hand, the tips of the fingers. A’ light task it seemed, lightly carried and with no sign of brain-tax or test, in the process. So for years had the home run; why should it not run on now as easily, as gracefully? - As a matter of fact it did—but at the price. The pound of flesh that the home asks of its maker is not taken without its red blood tax on life, on brain, on heart. As the days passed the young housekeeper found with sur- prise that no particle of the mental drill she had learned, the higher train- ing in thought which che had enjoyed, was left uncalled for to maintain the old home standards. Thus applying her new equipment, the new regime differed only in non-essentials from the old. “But did you never before think that it took brains to keep a house?” asked the mildly triumphant mother, proud of the daughter, of the home she main- tained, of the old order unchanged. “It takes intellect. That's what I have learned,” was the brief and perti- nent answer. A ———— i \ How Lowell Picked a Wife. Mrs. Caroline H. Dall sends to the Springfield Republican a letter, not be- fore published, written by James Rus- sell Lowell, telling how he hdppemed to pick out his second wife. “You will be astonished,” he wrote, “but not more than I myself. During the years that Miss Dunlap had had the care of Mabel (the child of his first wife, who died early) no thought of marriage had en- tered my head. Not long ago she had taken Mabel to-walk. They had wan- dered happily, till, to Miss Dunlap’s horror, the warm afternoon turned chilly, and she found herself too far from home and beyond help. I had grown anxious for the delicate child, and I started to find them. Imagine my surprise when I finally reache them, still too far away, to see Mabel astride ypon her friend’s shoulders) and that friend walking with painful slowness! As I took the child into my arms I broke into angry reproach that Miss Dunlap should have exposed her own health to such a strain. ‘I should have done it if it had killed me,’ she replied. ‘It was my own fault. I must take the consequences.” I shall never forget the proud dignity of her speech. I saw that this woman ought to be my child’s mother.” If the at- mosphere had suddenly become very warm we could appreciate the wisdom of picking up the delicate child and letting her ride pigback, but since it “turned chilly,” there seems to be suf. ficient reason for suspecting that it would have been better to let little Mabel walk. She would have been obliged to walk, anyway, if the‘exer- tion really had killed Miss Dunlap. Fortunately, the ‘“‘consequences” were marriage instead of death, despite the fact that when the poet “finally reached them” they were ‘still too far away.” And they lived happily ever after! Is the Home Passing ? Writers on domestic economy have of late been inquiring into the problem as to whether the American home ig passing away. According to one critic, houses are now too often simply shel- ters where families sleep, have a scan- ty breakfast, a more or less comfort: able late dinner, and where letters and laundry are delivered. Beyond thesd conveniences, it is alleged, it is the ided of everybody, including the servants, to get out of them, to flee from the household centre. Perhaps this pic- ture may be overdrawn, but there is enough of truth in it to make us pon- der over the drift of families to con- sider the old-fashioned home very lightly. At present these matters refer only to a certain class of restless persons who do not care for the trouble of en- tertaining. Too often is the drudgery of housekeeping distasteful to the mod- ern housewife, moving her to seék re- lief from these cares which were borne patiently by the old-fashioned mothers. Many of the women of to-day, it is maintained, have lost interest in their dwellings as places in which to enter- tain friends, and sometimes home is| found to be a deserted and disordered nest. Judging by former standards, there is no place like home. It is the sanc- tuary to which all the weary and heavy laden may turn to find rest. It will be diastrous to the young man and young woman if this home feeling is demolished. Home influence has done more to keep ithe feet of youth from straying into strange and dangerous paths than any other restraint. The advanced woman, who. is advocating the extension of the sphere and useful! ness of the sex, would better consider seriously whether or not she Is tg blame for the present tendency to ef: face the home. It is becoming a mo mentous question.—Pittsburg Gazette. ‘A Kansas postmaster advertises that the postoffice has been removed from where it was to where it is. A LIT a ew} : ] ] : Subject : The Preacher’s Commission. Brooklyn, N. Y.—The New York Ave- nue M. E. Church was crowded to its utmost capacity Sunday morning when Bishop McCabe preached the Confers ence sermon. Bishop McCabe preached for nearly an hour. His sermon was a typical, old-style Methodist oration, and evidently pleased his hearers im- mensely, for his remarks were punc- tuated from start to finish with cries of “Amen,” “Hallelujah!” “Yes, yes,” and frequent laughter. Bishop. McCabe's subject was “The Preacher's Commission,” and he took for his text the passage in Haggai: “And the desire of all nations shall come.” He said: . Haggai was one of "the prophets who went to the captive Israeiites to help to rebuild the walls of the ruined tem- le and of their destroyed city. Zech- ariah was the other one. They were both men of vast hope and mighty faith, and God gave them vision to read the future, and, because they saw the future, they were optimistic men. They did not believe that anything was too good to be true. We need such men. We have enough men who tell us how much better the past was than the present, and who discourage us, and we need men who talk hopefully; men who speak of the future with de- light, because they know that the Lord’s prayer—that the will of God shall be done on earth ‘as it is in Heaven—will some day be fulfilled. These two prophets went to the Israel- ites, to Jerusalem, and struggled to rebuild the temple, and they were greatly needed. Cyrus, the King of Persia, allowed them to go. Cyrus was the conqueror of Babylon, and these Jews had fallen into his hands: and he treated them finely. Cyrus was. a man who believed in religious liberty. It is strange tliat 2500 years ago there was a man in a high on earth position who believed that every man had a right to worship God according to the dictates of his conscience. I know Cyrus believed in religious liberty be- cause he was not a Jew, and yet he allowed these Jews to go and rebuild their temple and ruined city. I think God loved Cyrus on ‘this account. know He did, because He sent hint a message by. Isaiah, “I will go before thee and make thy way straight before thee.” Cyrus would have made a great Czar of Russia; there would be no more massacres of the Jews. what a great Sultan of Turkey he would have made! There woulll be no more massacres of Armenians sim- ply because they were Christians. I trust in God that the time will come when a great man like Cyrus will oc- cupy every throne on earth, and when the idea that one man can control the conscience of another shall pass away forever. I have myself seen 580 in- struments of torture which were used by men and devils—for I think the devil inspired men to use such instru- ments of torture—to make all men think alike. I looked with amazed in- terest at the “Maid of Nuremberg,” a terrible instrument calle@” by that name. It consists of great, wide doors, in which I counted nine spikes, several inches long. When the victim was asked for the last time “Will you re- pent?’ if he said “No,” these doors were slammed, and the victim quiver- ing on these spikes would suffer more anguish than Jesus Christ did on the cross. Men and women to-day would rather die than give up this old Bible, or surrender the right to worship God according to the dictates of conscience. We enjoy liberty to-day because such men and women have lived in the world. Let us prize the boon which they purchased with suffering and blood. These Israelites had been in captivity for seven years; 42,360 of them went to build the temple. Some were old and some young. The young men shouted for joy, for they did not remember ‘Solomon's Temple, but the old men did, and they wept. They wept, first, be. cause of the contrast between the amount of money which David gave Solomon to build the temple with and the sum they had now. Secondly, be- cause of the contrast between the number of men—Solomon had 80,000, and now there were but 42,360. Solo- mon had 3600 overseers to keep the people at work—walking delegates, if you please. I wish all walking, dele- gates were for that purpose. I won- der if they ever had a strike among them. I wonder if 16,000 of these 80,- 000 said to the other eighty-four per cent.: “Unless you join our society you cannot work at all.” It would not have been allowed in Solomon’s time. I had a letter yesterday from a promi- nent man in this city, asking me if the church was the friend of labor. I want to state publicly the creed of the M. E. Church. ‘We are the friends of labor; we are the friends of all labor— of every man and woman who has to earn a living by the sweat of the face. We are the friends, not only of the sixteen per cent., but of the 806,000; of 100 per cent. of labor, and anybody who is not a friend of 100 per cent. is not a true friend of labor. That is the creed of the M. E. Church, and I state it for them because they do not seem disposed to state it for themselves. And I believe I state the creed of all Protestant churches in this country. Then, again, I think the old men wept because of the contrast in the plans of the two temples. “The Desire of All Nations.” one of the names of Christ. over 300 different appellations. Jacob called Him “Shiloh;” Job, “The Deliv- erer;” David, “The Shepherd;” Isaiah, “Wonderful,” “Counselor,” “Mighty God,” “Everlasting Father” and “Prince of Peace;” John the Baptist, “The Lamb of God;’ Paul, the ‘“Fore- runner;” at the Isle of Patmos, Jesus said: “I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last, the bright and morn- ing star,” and John called Him “King of Kings and Lord of Lords.” But the sweetest name of all is Jesus. O, what a sweet name it is. He is my Saviour. It took an angel to Bring that name. Gabriel said: “His name shall be called Jesus’-—that is the sweetest name of all—* “His name shall be above all names.” “At the nhme of Jesus every knee shall bow.” Jesus, my Saviour, to Bethlehem came, Born in a manger in sorrow and shame; 0, it is wonderful, blest be His name, Calling for me!

Do you know that there are 500,000 converted Jews? Let the ghotious work go on. ‘Now, “what .think ye of Christ?’ Is the wearer of all these glorious names divine or human or an angel? Some think He was a good man, a typical man, the best man in the world, but say He was not divine. They do not even admit that He was an angelie being. Some think He was God-man. “God manifest in the flesh.” Jesus is divine. Peter believed that. Paul be- lieved it. He. said: “By Him all things created that are in Heaven and in earth, visible and invisible; all things were made by Him.” Such things cannot h~ said about an angel or a human being. I think the epistle to the Hebrews was written by Paul to prove the divinity of Jesus. Some scholars say Apollos wrote it. and not Paul, but Paul wrote .it. There was not anybody else great enough to write it. We must have a divine Saviour. No angel or human being could do what we need. He: must be an Al- mighty Saviour, One who is “mighty to save and strong to deliver.” Our sorrows are too great for human con- solation; our sins are too mighty for the power of any man or angel. We must have a divine Saviour—and we have Him. Do you believe Jesus Christ can save a soul'in an instant? 1 know it; IT have seen Him do it a thousand :times. He can do it. He stands ready. Will you have Him? Do you desire Him? : Brethren ifn the ministry, it is your business to preach Christ's: Gospel to the world. Hurry with the Gospel. This is a sad world. There is one re- ligion that teaches that sorrow is so ineseapable, that the best thing that can be done is to be blown out like a candle, and 500,000,000 Buddhists he- lieve it. Hurry with the Gospel. Read John xiv: “Let not your Hgéart be troubled; ye believe in God, believe also in Me.”* "Fhe presence of sorrow affects me strangely. I have never got used to it. It ought to awaken the sympathy of every human heart. I read a story of a Pullman car when, in the night, all was quiet except a:baby’s voice. One man called out, angrily: “Where, is the mother of that child? I wish she would keep it quiet.” The father of the child answered: “The mother of my:babe is in her coffin in the baggage car. I hope the passen- gers will excuse me; I am doing the best I can.” The other man rushed out and said: “Sir, forgive me. I did not understand. I would not have said it if I had known. Let me take that babe. I will keep it all night and you shall rest; you must be tired.” His heart was changed and full of sym- pathy. Oh, the world is full of sorrow and sin; but we have the remedy. Let your feet be like the roe’s upon the mountains. God grant the commission anew to-day to preach the Gospel. The Time is Short. Ah, my dear friends, you who are letting miserable misuhderstandings run on from year to year; you who are keeping wretched quarrels alive be- cause you cannot quite make up your mind that now is the day to sacrifice your pride and kill them; you who are passing men sullenly on the street, not speaking to them out of some silly spite, and yet knowing that it would fill you with’ shame and remorse if you heard that one of those men were dead to-morrow morning; you who are let- ting your neighbor starve till you hear that he is dying of starvation, or letting your friend’s heart ache for a word of appreciation or sympathy which you mean to give some day—if you could know, and see, and feel all of a sudden that “the time is short,” how it would break the spell! how you would go ine stantly, ‘and do the thing which you might never have another chance to do!—Phillips Brooks. Responsibility For Possessions. Do you wish more strength? But if you had more and misused it your condemnation would be greater than is your reproach now for work undone. Do you wish more money? But if you had more its rust would the more sure- ly eat your flesh as fire, while the re- sponsibility for its proper use would burden the soul. Do you crave a larger field of work and influence? But what if, when gained, the field were untilled and the influence that of an evil star? A young minister had few to hear his best sermons; he complained to John Brown, of Haddington, and this was the reply: “You have as many hearers every time you preach as you will care to answer for at the day of judgment.” —Pacific Baptist. Nearer Heaven. Bless God for the wilderncss; thank God for long nights; be thankful that you have been in the school of poverty and have undergone the searching and testing of much discipline. Take the right view of your trials. You are nearer Heaven for the graves you have dug, if you have accepted bereave- ments in the right spirit; you are wiser for the losses you have bravely borne, but you are nobler for all the sacrifices you have willingly completed.—Dr. Joseph Parker. Live Holiness. It is better to live a good life than to be talking about it, better to live holi- ness than to proclaim that one lives it. If the: sun makes a noise we do not hear it. The brilliant electric lights blaze forth without crackling. The lighthouses flame out their rays over the perilous seas without the procla- mation of bells or the firing of cannon, So the truest, purest and best lives simply let their light shine, as the blessed Saviour commanded. Need of Backbone. A contemporary suggests that one thing which Christians as well as oth- ers need at the present day is back- bone. Not a backbone like a ramrod, that cannot yield or bend, but a well articulated spinal column, which is strong enough to hold a man upright, and keep him from being crushed be- neath the burdens that press upon him, These are days of easy going piety; and men are tuo often ruled by com- conscience. . give place to the grace and SABBATH SCHOOL LESSON INTERNATIONAL LESSO! LESSON. ‘commEnTS 1 ‘FOR JUNE - gs Subject: The Gentile Woman’s Faith Mark vii., 24-30=Golden Text: Matt. xV., 28 = Memory Verse, 30 — Topic: Bringing the Unsaved to Christ, I. In heathen borders (v. 24). 24. “From thence He arose.” That is, af- ter delivering the discourses at Caper- naum. “Borders of Tyre and Sidon.” Tyre and Sidon were heathen cities on the east coast of the Mediterranean Sea. Their religion was a base and corrupting mature -<vorship. Beelze- bub, the name adopted by the Jews as a name for Satan, was one of their dei- ties who was supposed to be the author of “all the pollutions of idol worship.” “Into an house.” In all probability the house of a Jew. Edersheim thinks He must have tarried here several days; the fact that He desired to be kept hid, but could not, would suggest this. “No man knew it.” He judged it pro- per to conceal Himself awhile from the Pharisees, who were plotting against Him. “Could not be hid.” It seems that He was personally known to many in "this country, who had seen and heard Him in Galilee. II. A mother’s request (vs. 25, 26). 25. . “Whose young daughter.” The actual sufferings of the daughtér were great, but the sufferings’ which* the mother endured by sympathy were still greater. “An unclean spirit.” Mat- thew says her daughter was ‘‘griev- ously vexed with a devil.” This was certainly a sad case." Nothing can de- stroy the peace of a home more than to have a daughter possessed .with Sa- tanic influences. The spirit that pos- sessed this girl was an unclean—a vile spirit. “At His feet.” This at‘once shows the humility of the woman. 26. “Woman was a Greek.” By language. The Jews called those who were idolaters Greeks, or: Gentiles. “A Syrophenician by nation.” . A Syro- Phoenician. .Phoenicia belonged to the Roman province Syria. She was a Sy- rian of Phoenicia. Matthew says she “was. a woman of Canaan.” ' “Be- sought Him.” Earnescly entreated Him. The .ase was an urgent one, and on her knees at His feet she poured out her request. “Would cast forth.” She believed He had power to do this. Matthew says she ‘‘cried unto Him saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, Thou son of David.” She plead for mercy; she knew she could make no claim upon Him 'in any other way. “The devil,” etc. Here is a. plain, straightforward confession. There is no effort to cover up the family trou- bles, and gloss over matters, and make it appear that, after all, her daughter is “quite respectable.” III. Faith tested (v. 27). 27.. “Jesus said.” This woman's s discouragements were great: 1. Her advantages had been small. She was a heathen wom- an, with but little means of even ob- taining the light of the Hebrew Scrip- tures. 2. At first Jesus did not reply to her request (Matt. 15:24). 3. When Jesus did speak He seemed to repel her. The soul seeking salvation fre- quently meets these same tests, and many become discouraged by them. The disciples were annoyed. They said, “Send her away, for she crieth af- ter us.” This has been greatly misun- derstood. To “send her away’ accord- ing to Oriental idioms —~ould be to grant her request, cure her child and let her go. ‘The children.” The Jews. “First be filled.” They are the favored people. The gospel was first to be of- fered to the Jews, and to them our Lord’s personal ministry on earth was chiefly restricted. “Not meet.” It is not suitable—not the proper thing to do. “Children’s bread.” To take those blessings that belong to the Jews. “Unto the dogs.” For “dogs” read “little dogs,” household pets, such as ran around the table at meal time. This was the severest test of all. The Gen- tiles were considered by the Jewish people as no better than dogs, and Jesus only used a form of speech which was common; but it must have been very offensive to the heathen. Wotld this woman resent it? Would her pride at last be stirred? No. She “shrunk and shriveled” into nothingness at His feet, and her faith still held on for the desired blessing. IV. Faith rewarded (vs. 28-30). 28. “Yes, Lord.” ‘Truth, Lord” (Matt). It is all so. The Jews—the favored ones ought to be blessed first. I know I am a heathen—only a Gentile dog. “Yet.” Now follows (1) an answer to His argument against entertaining her petition, and (2) a most touching ap- peal to His clemency. “The dogs—eat of the children’s crumbs.” I only ask such kindness as the dogs of any fam- ily enjoy. If I am a dog give me at least a dog’s fare. 29. “For this saying.” had triumphed. Jesus said, “O wom- an, great is thy faith” (Matt.). Her faith was ‘great in its earnestness, its humility, its overcoming great obsta- cles.” The hindrances thrown in the woman's way only tended to increase her faith. “The devil is. gone out.” Now, at this very moment, thy request is granted. Though our Lord’s mission was to the lost sheep of Israel, yet He always honored personal faith in Him- self, wherever found. Persevering faith and prayer are next to omnipotent. No person can thus pray and believe with- out receiving all his soul requires. This woman had asked a crumb, and had received a whole loaf of the chil- dren's bread. Although a heathen she now took her place by the side of Jacob and Moses, for she had prevailed. “Of thy daughter.” Her faith is pecu- liar in that it obtains a blessins for an- other. Her intercession was success- ful. Children who have praying par- ents should be thankful. Here is also an encouragement for praying parents! +30. “Laid upon the bed.” A sign of her perfectly tranquil condition; the demon had previously driven her hithd er and thither; Her faith The Lord’s Manner. But this is the Lord's manner: If there be but one grain of corn in many neaps of chaff, He will never leave winnowing rather than lose it. Send He will, messenger after messenger, until He hath gathered’ it into His parn.—Thomas Hooker. Ask For Grace. On every occasion of uneasiness we should retire to prayer, that we may light of | God.—John Wesley. ‘CAUGHT BY LIMITED B. & O. Freight Trains Wrecked Near Salisbury—One Man Killed— Two Injured.
