It is not a hundred years ago since stays for women were composed not of whalebone or hardened leather, but of bars of iron and steel from three inches to four inches broad and 18 inches long. Again, during the reign of George III the top of the steel stay busk had a long stocking needle at- tached to it to prevent girls from spoiling their shape by stooping too much over their work.—New York Sun. Queen Maud. Queen Maud, in spite of her small and fragile looking figure, is wonder- fully athletic and an adept at all out- door sports. As a skater she had few rivals, and as a skier, although she has but lately taken to the pastime of her country, she surpasses many of those to the manner born. It is a graceful spectacle, and one in which her husband's subjects delight, to see Queen Maud skimming through the air in her long skis as adroit and fearless as thought she had done noth- ing else all her life.—London Ma- dame. Chief Hospital Nurse. Miss Ilsther V. Hassen of Washing- ton, D. C, is to be the chief hospital nurse of the navy. She .is a graduate of the New Haven Training School for Nurses and has served in her profes- sion in Philadelphia, on the hospital ship Relief and on the Isthmus of Panama. Her appointment will make her head of the corps of women nurses in the naval hospitals here and abroad but not on board ships of war. The corps of naval nurses will number eventually more than 50 and will have an organization similar to that of the army women nurses.—New York Sun. The Cynic. “There’s a wonderful mystic in town,” said the pretty believer in my- sticism at the Hungry club Saturday ‘night. “He or she, you can't tell whether it’s a male or female, has told me the most marvelous things, told me what mine to buy shares in, how many shares to bup, everything. You put a dollar in an envelope, ad- ress it to a woman whose name I will give you, she will send it to another address, she to another and when it has passed thréugh four or five hands it will reach the mystic.” “These hard times,” said the wom- an who sat beside her, “when I let go a dollar I want to know more about where it goes than that and what I am to get for it.”—New York Press. A Welcome Innovation. An innovation which mothers will welcome has been made at a hotel in this state. The daughter of the pro- prietor, having three little girls of her own, knows that a woman rarely gets much benefit from a stay at a summer resort if she has her children to look after, and they must be locked after, else they run at large from morning till bedtime. She therefere has secured the services of an experiencd teacher, who conducts a morning ciass five days in the week for the children at the hotel. There are somestudyingand a good deal of recreative work. It is thought that, besides relieving the mothers, this little daily session keeps the children from acquiring any of the bad habits that a long, idle vacation is likely to engender.—New York Tri- bune. Dress for Business Women. Said a Frenchman to me not long ago as we sauntered through a model department store: “Your working girls—they are won- derful. Sce, they are ladies! Such well kept hands, such beautifully coiffed heads, such smart shoes! They must spend much time to make themselves ready for work. Nowhere else in the world will you see such girls earning their living.” The self-supporting woman in Amer- ica has won an enviable reputation for good taste in dress. Not even in Paris where every woman is supposed to be chic and to have an “air,” do the self- supporting girls bear the stamp of gentility in clothes that you can note in any large city or factory town in the United States.—Anna Steese Rich- ardson in Woman's Home Companion. Slums of London. Aristocrats who profess to be intee- ested in the amelioration of the condi- tions under which the lower classes live have often been accused of insin- “slumming” simply in order to provide themselves with a new and novel sensation. No such ac- cusation, however, can be levelled against the Dowager Duchess of New- castle, who 12 years ago founded the settlement of St. Anthony in the Whitechapel slums, and she has now given up her West End residence and gone to live at the settlement. Al- though her grace is one of the rich- ek and best looking peeresses of the realm, she elects to live and work in ote of the dreariest districts in Lon- don. The fact, by the way, that the Marquis of Queensberry was recently received into the Roman Catholic church reminds one that his uncle, Lord Archibald Douglas, became a order some ald had for orders de- yr poor i full bow at the and homeless boys, and he established a bakery for the purposc of giving a certain number of them educatien, shelter and employment.—Tit-Bits, The Modern Child. Victor Hugo wrote that when he gazed into the eyes of a little child he saw there a reflection of divinity, and he trembled. This is the poetic ex- pression of a great truth; the beauty and sacredness of the human entity when it is nearest to the source of all life. Ellen Key, an eminent Swedish au- thor, abandoned some years ago the advocacy of woman’s social and politi: cal emancipation, declaring that a no- bler conception of woman’s natural mission as wife and mother was of much more immediate moment. Those who study the childhood of today strongly realize this fact. It presents marked contrasts with the childhood of our grandfathers. The modern child is too apt to be denatured, so to speak at a tender age; to be pert, to be pre- tentiously knowing, self-conscious and selfishly impulsive. What a world of sadness is there in the remark of a well known observers “There are no longer any children.” This view, extreme «though it be, is based upon an actual condition, which is due chiefly perhaps to two things: Neglect of suitable correction of chil- dren, and silly, indiscreet and flatter- ing admiration of them at all times and on all occasions. Children may be adored and yet properly influenced to their good. There are faddisms in child train- ing and child development which work immense harm. It is a crime to make any child the victim of one-sid- ed or extremist theories of any kind. The spontaneity of juvenile nature needs to be guided, not forced.— Philadelphia Bulletin. How to Cure Insomnia. - What, then, can the sleepless wom- an do to help herself? Let her note, in the first place, some things that she ought not, to drink tea or coffee, especially toward bedtime; for these stimulate the brain. She ought not to spend all her time indoors, but rather live much in the open air and breathe deeply the while. She ought not, im- mediately before retiring, to read thrilling stories of “battle, murder and sudden death.” She ought above all, not to fear the idea of not sleeping; and the fear of not sleeping will be dissipated by the firm conviction that even though she should remain awake for hours, some at least of the benefits of sleep can be obtained by: using those hours aright. One goes to bed primarily to rest; secondarily to sleep. If one does not sleep, one should not keep turning over and over, growing more and more impatient with one’s ‘self, but should impose on the mind calm, peace, and a state as near va- cuity as possible. As has been well said, “Sleep is like a pigeon. It comes to you if you have the appearance of not looking for it. It flies away if you try to catch it.” If possible, approach bedtime with a feeling of indifference and learn to say within yourself, “If 1 sleep—well; if I don’t sleep—also well though not so well.” This little lesson thoroughly learned will have the most beneficial influence in attracting sleep. Assuming, then, that the sufferer has removed the physical causes of sleep- lessness, that noise, and light, and material discomforts are excluded— there is now no reason -for the insom- nia. She has but to suggest to herself properly or talk to herself sleep for a while and it will come. Relax the limbs. Close the eyes. Inhale a few deep breaths, and repeat silently and slowly some such formula as this: “There is no reason why I should not sleep. I can sleep. Therefore I will sleep. I will sink down lower and low- er. I am sinking down. I know I am now going to sleep. I feel sleep com- ing. It is here. I sleep, sleep, a long unbroken sleep.”—Correspondent of Harper’s Bazaar. Fashion Notes. The half-tones of all colors lead. Buttons are a significant mode of decoration at present. Silk cashmere, one of the newest weaves at the silk counter, comes in all colors. : _ Khaki is still largely used in trim- mings and all smoked effects will be a la mode. Some neat frocks for general wear are of the one piece variety, in light weight wool or heavy silk like Rajam.

BURTON, PH.D. Theme: Jesus as Prophet. Brooklyn; N. Y. — For the union services of the churches on the Heights, the preacher Sunday was tae Rev. Ma arion Leroy Burton, Ph.D. pastor-elect of the Church of the Pil grims. His subject was ‘Jesus the Prophet.” He selected his text from Matthew 21:10-i1: “And when He was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this? And the multitude said, This is Jesus the Prophet of Nazare sth of Calilee.” .Dr. Burton said in substanca: The central question of all this in Christian life is, how does Jesus save us; how are we to profit by Christ's life?. Ii is impossibie in- this short time to answer. Dut one phase of the three which our Sawour lived, as Prophet, Priest and King, Yet each conveys its part of truth ubon a pro- per concept of“His holy life. How- ever, it is ‘weil to concentrate upon the prophet side of His life, not to im- ply at all any sense of separateness between them. . We cannot give at- tention now to the kingly aspect, but to that of prophet, which Jesus lived for our salvation. What was it that caysed the multitude tg follow Him, and, as St. Matthew tells us, take Him for a prophet? It was He who proclaimed the truth and.in this light we can. see how Jesus is related to our life. Without going into the questions and different divisions which natur- ally arise on all sides, let us consider how He lived as a prophet. In what sense does He stand as our prophet? In the first place, we know that He is a prophet in regard to God. He has revealed how God is taking us be- neath His forgiveness and patience and ever .watchful care — how we cease to exist without Him. Let us note, in the first place, Jesus’ revela- tion of God's attitude toward sinful- ness: There are those who declare sin is underestimated, but if we are wide, we can understand Jesus’ true attitude in regard to sin. It is shown in His denunciations, in His opinions of the leaders of the day, in the Ser- mon on the Mount, all of which show His conception of sin. Not only ths man who is the adulterer, but he who lives in conditions of lust; not only the murderer, but he who inspires the act and remains silent; not alone the perjurer, but he who fails to be truth- ful by keeping silent. These are ‘‘likewise’ sinners. But God’s attitude toward sin con- cerns not alone our outward acts, for the inner being is brought into ac- countability and cannot escape. Jesus has called upcn us not only to do something that makes for our salva- tion, but also to have in mind that we should bz something. It is of the in- ner self that the victory over sin has to be won. We should have a life not of action alone, but also of being. Jesus has taught the world the terri- ble consequences which are to follow our wrongdoing, that the man whe sins will condone it by suffering. He has told of the penalties of sin. He who deceives the little one had better tie a millstone about his neck and perish in the sea. What awful penal- ties that follow the sinner! But not alone has Jesus revealed to us God’s attitude toward sin, but in the second instance He has revealed God, through Himself, and has shown His manifold purposes of our destiny. Let us study the character and life of Jesus and we shall see that He has revealed God to us and shown His clemency and patience. Why was it the multitude followed Him? Be: cause they took Him for a prophet? It is not that alone, but because of His magnetic personality, which at- tracted all to Him and made Him be- loved of all men. No wonder the twelve disciples came at His call and served Him with true love and faith. It was not confined to this inner cir- cle, however, that Jesus attracted men about Him by His wonderful per- sonage. Nicodemus cams to Jesus. The centurion was wont to seek Him out for counsel. The multitude list- ened to His words of wisdom. He was a friend of the publican and sin- ner. At the day of the feast the Greeks came and said, “We would sce Jesus.”” He spoke in infinite love and drew all to Him. He sought to lead them through the paths of His truth and to teach them quietly, sincerely, of life and their salvation. How mar- velous and how perfectthat He should lead men toward the truth and a bet- ter and less sinful life. Witness Him teaching the multitude to the path- ways of truth and see Him carry them to His Word. Hé knew that much of His teachings fell on barren soil and took no root, but He was patient with His people. Oh, the beauty and pa- thos of the parting with His disci- ples! “It passes all understanding. It was a crisis in the. lifz .of Jesus, He taught them the truth, and Tie led" them out in vital existence. Teaching the people, Jesus was pa- tient at all times. Even ths: same twelve men who gathered at His call to preach the Gospel to the world oi- ten forgot His teaching of the Word. On the way to the Last Supper they quaireled among themselves as to who was the greatest among them. But He was patientand forgave them. Did not the priests take before Him an adulteress, and when the accusers had fled, did He not say, ‘‘Where are those who condemn: thee? Neither do I condemn thee. Go and sin no more.” Oh, the infinite love and for- giveness of the Master! Then Jesus tells of the Prodigal Son and shows that forgiveness with the Father is possible. Peter sinned three times, and Jesus forgave him. And not alone has He forgiven the sinners, but the marvelous basis for cur won- der is that He suffered to save them. Jesus was willing to suffer for His truth, so that His attitude toward God and men might be recognized as the true way. These characteristics of the life of our Master reveal God's attitude to- ward us and His purpose in infinite love. Jesus has said that God is only atisfied to save Y He w ould hav the et cs of life. is in repent- in God is th? he Jesus is all that God is -in infinite love.” Who hath seen Jesus hath'seen God. Oh, the glorious wisdom of Him who hath seen God! Jesus was a prophet not only in telling us- of God’s attitude toward sin, with clear positiveness, but He also was a prophet in regard to ocur- selves. He tells us what God is in all His glory and Het tells us what man is, what we are ourselves. Jesus is the ideal type. The critics pass Him by. Ian His almighty wisdom, we sce how ignorant we are. In His holi- ness; with its overpowering glory, we observe. how sinful, how mean, how low we are. Study. Jesus’ life and draw out from you as you know your- selves to be. How small, infinitesi- mally small, do you seem! Ie has been a prophet, for He has shown how small we are. Two sides, the dark and the light, Jesus has shown us, but He- has not alone given us view to the dark side by showing us cur smallness. He has also brought up the light side and with full hopeful- lness not only tells us how small we are, but shows us our largesness. He tells us of the power and potentiali- ties within us. ‘Ye, therefore, shall be perfect in love.” You are a sin- ner, but you may be a son of God. Jesus is glorious as a prophet of God, for He tells us how it may be if we live as He lived. : ni Not only a prophét of God and men, Jesus sought to expand the rev- elation of God, and beneath it all, with prophetic note, gave the ideal re- lationship of life, that of father and son. Did time permit we could con- sider the many lights between God and man. Jesus came and in His ear- lier years lived in simple communion with His Father, before He gathered abouit Him His twelve disciples. He prayed in the mountains and prayed for the forgiveness of the sins of the world. He set the right relation be- tween Son and the Father—a per- sonal relationship. He never lost hope in all His suffering, but trusted in His Father. din His life He would tell us that the infinite relation is that of Father and Son. Not only would Jesus teach us the ideal relationship between God and men, but He lived the life between man and man. Should we follow the precepts of Jesus, this relation of man to man would be one of sacred example. Follow the teachings of Jesus. and get all the power and po- tentiality that is in you. Develop self by developing others. Find life by losing it. It will be a victory for self, the inner self. By the Word of God we are one, or non-existent. Jesus tells us of God’s relationship. How can any one ask, knowing these things-and God’s relationship to man, how He effects our salvation? Can “any. one be convinced and say, “Can Jesus save Me?” He demands of us ouf love. He demands that we follow Jesus and do what He did. He demands that we follow Him as Jesus did and secure salvation by His for= giveness. We know that the penal- ties of sin are awful, for Jesus has so taught us. The truth that 1 am small He has impressed upon me, but that I am to become larger through hope and forgiveness I know through His word. Jesus calls upon us to be prophets in His name. We can take His teachings throughout life, but we do not follow them. That is not rec- ognition of the word. He has done His part and we should do ours. He cannot make us or we would not be personalities. Jesus said to the multitude, Chris- tians, follow Me, and as the apostles, they left and followed Him. Jesus calls us up from our worship of gold and the money gods which we serve. He called to the people, love Me niore, and they worshiped Him. He calls to us, love Me more. By Thy mercy we will hear Thy call and will serve Thee by love and service best of all. © Net Common People. “The common people’ heard Him gladly.’”” ~ That phrase may be mis- leading. What Mark says is not that the ‘common people,” but that the “much people heard Him gladly.” He does not mean to refer to a low- er class of people. The Bible never calls this sort of people ‘‘common,”’ and it was not the lower class of people that came to Christ in the crowds. There was the Pharisee, the Sadducee, the ruler, the publican, the poor man—all classes were drawn to Him. Where He came caste straightway melted away. When He came into Simon’s house, the poor harlot, who had never crossed the threshold before, went right in and came to His side. For this reason Jesus can no more be the head of a labor church than of a capitalist club. He has nothing to do with men in sections. He deals with man as man, and when He looked out upon the crowds He did not see a Pharisee or a publican; He saw a man, a son of God by crea- tion. He saw as God saw.—Rev. G. Campbell Morgan. Br a Notes For Workers. Here:are some good suggestions for League workers: “Find your work where Christ has put you.” “Seek to make at least one spot of the earth brighter by a deed of yours.” “When you begin to worry, do not forget that God still has control of everything.” “Christ has redeemed "you up, that-you; others.” : *If you truly love God, your heart will be filled with His Spirit, and you will be obedient to His commands.” “The true Christian is like the sun, which pursues his noiseless track, and everywhere feaves the effect of his beams in blessings cn all.” -“One has well said that our chief concern should be, not to obtain higher places, but to fill well the places we already hold. Better fill a humble position well than occupy one above our ability.”—Pittsburg Chris. tian Advocate. and - lifted in turn, may. lift up Get a Future.
