Instruction in Housekeeping.
Miss Mary S. Woolman, of Teachers’
Qollege, who has returned from her
sixth trip of investigation among the
schools for women in Europe, says
that the various women’s clubs in the
German empire are establishing, with
government aid, professional schools
which give free instruction to girls in
housekeeping and its allied branches.
Men to Blame.
The standard of living of men is ad-
vanced, a writer on the subject thinks,
‘and they refuse to be satisfied with
the underdone steak of the $4-a-week
girl, having been accustomed to the
dinner cooked by a $5,000 chef. Then
they go home and say that housekeep-
ing is not what it used to be, and
blame the women for it. Such men
are generally not the husbands or sons
of college women or clubwomen, eith-
er, for that matter.—Indianapolis

Navy’s Chief Nurse Busy Woman.
Miss Esther Voorhees Hasson has
been selected out of several hundred
applicants for chief nurse in the Unit-
ed States Navy. The position is one
of great responsibility, Miss Hasson
being required to outline plans for a
nursing force at each naval point in
case of war. In addition, it is one of
her duties to provide the Government
with a list of nurses from which to
draw staffs for hospital ships. At
present she directs the work of a
corps of 100 nurses, scattered in ma-
rine hospitals along the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts and also on the Gulf.
Miss Hasson bears the reputation of
being one of the most competetnt
nurses in the country. She was nam-
ed for chief nurse by the Medical
Board of the Navy, her long experi-
ence and eminent fitness giving her
precedence over all her competitors.
The Sermon Pleased Her.
A minister was telling about the
Father’s tender wisdom in caring for
us all. He illustrated by saying that
the Father knows which of us grow
best in the sunlight and which of us
must have the shade.
“You know you plant roses in the
sunshine,” he “said, “and heliotrope
and geraniums, but if you want your
fuchsias to grow they must be kept in
a dry, shady nook.”
After the sermon, which the minis-
ter hoped would be a comforting one,
& woman came up to him, her. face
shining with pleasure that was evi-
dently true,
“Oh, Dr. , I am so grateful for
that sermon,” she said, clasping the
minister’s hand and shaking it warm-
ly.
His pleasure was stirred for a mo-
ment, while he wondered what tender
place in her heart he had touched.
Only for a moment, though.
“Yes,” she went on, fervently. “I
never knew what was the matter with
my fushcias before.”—Indiana Farm-
er.
Bridal Tours Going Out.
Wedding trips are going out of fash-
ion. Women of advanced thought for
years have spoken and written against
them with increasing emphasis, from
Louisa M. Alcott to present-day au-
thors. It is getting to be the custom
to go direct from the church to a
country home, either one’s own or a
friend’s, and ‘to pass the honeymoon
in seclusion impossible to tourists.
The bridal trip is more or less a fraud
in many respects. A woman who has
had occasion to see many newly mar-
ried couples on their travels say
“prides and bridegrooms are not al-
ways the ecstatically bBappy persons
they are supposed to be, and tears on
a honeymoon are not by any means
unknown. The wedding day is an aw-
ful strain and often upsets tempers
for days.- The young persons arrive
at the hotel in time for dinner af-
ter a journey of hours. The bride is
pale and tired, the bridegroom har-
assed and worried to see her so, and
making a great fuss generally. Then
follow a hurried unpacking and frantic
preparations for dinner. While the
maid is helping the bride to dress, the
bridegroom discovers his evening coat
has been left behind or that he has no
patent leather shoes. Then the first
meal together is a distinct failure.”—
New York Press.
Passing of the Petticoat.
It is surprising what radical chang.
es the designers have wrought in the
fashions of this year as compared with
those of last year and a few years
back. “I was looking over my trous.
geau treasures,” said a bride of three
years, “ and really they look ancient.
It seems impossible to me that I could
have thought of such things. For ex-
ample, there were six embroidered
flannel petticoats, and whoever wears
one now! And for every long skirt
there was a corresponding short petti-
coat, while nowadays we wear the
slimmest kind pf a skirt and only
one. Certainly we women are adapta-
ble. Where would we have been a few
years ago without the petticoat? In
the hospital, of course. We looked
upon the petticoat as one of the most
serviceable and necessary of gar-
ments, but here we are ready to go
through the winter without it. We
have convinced ourselves, just for the
sake of fashion, that we are not rua-
ning risk in doing this, but the facts
are against us. The dictate of Fash-
ion is that the less petticoat the bet-
ter, and we go ahead ‘blindly and
cheerfully run the risk of colds, pneu-
monia and a score of kindred ills.
Men have more sense, and they might
use our folly in discarding the warm
petticoat as an argument against equal
suffrage.”—New York Press.
The Woman Who “Putters.”
There is an art in living, whether
we are rich or poor. Some people ac-
complish much with moderate effort,
while others work hard with poor re-
sults. My husband laughs at the say-
ing of an easy-going neighbor, who
said: “I have so much to do I don’t
know what to do first.” Then he sat
down in his confusion and did nothing.
One of the editorial force on the New
. York Independent admonishes brain
workers to seize the precious morning.
hours for mental effort. He tells us
that from five a. m. to 10 he may be
seen on his balcony at his writing
desk on summer mornings. We cannot
all command our time thus, but must
do the best we can.
My puttering neighbor often drops
in on me and I generally write on, for
she cannot understand how I keep
going into newspaper work and keep
no help.
I do the “must-haves” and omit the
non-essentials. With care and thought
we can plan to save housework. A
memory prompter hangs on the man-
tel. When things must be bought
why, jot them down. ‘When duties
must be done, not them down. Foods
that will keep awhile may be pre-
pared for days in cool weather. 1
arise at 5, I prepare things handy for
breakfast the night before. If pies
are wanted for the day I have things
all ready, and then utilize the fire
while breakfast is wooking. Cold
roasts and cold ham fill hungry men
and children. Cold beans, baked or
heated, are quite “fillin’.” Lots of
cold left-overs make quick salads.
Wher eggs are cheap we use a great
meny; when high priced, we sell
them. A cereal cooker is a time-
saver, for puddings will cook them-
selves while we patch or write.
Steamers are a great invention. Then
only think of the hay box!
School lunches are my greatest
worry, for children’s appetites are not
like ours when we attended the ‘“dees-
trict” school. I think we are wiser
than our mothers were in regard to
diet. The fried cake of 40 years ago
was not conducive to studious habits
but in those days our stomachs must
have been that of the ostrich.
This puttering habit that some wo-
men have is exhausting. This drag-
ging about from day to night is ‘a
weariness to the flesh. When fami-
lies are willing to be careful and keep
their belongings in place a great deal
is lifted from the shoulders of the
“house mother. I have always had the
misfortune to live in old-style houses
without closets. I am of the opinion
that no woman can be a careful house-
keeper unless she has closet room.—

THE PULPIT.
AN ELOQUENT SUNDAY SERMON BY
THE REV. CORTLAND MYERS.
Theme: Uncle Sam’s Mark on the
World.
'
Brooklyn, N. Y.—That the oppor-
tunity afforded to men residing in the
Bedford section to hear the Rev.
Cortland Myers, pastor of the Bap-
tist Temple, was appreciated, was
evident from the large audience
which filled every part of the Associa-
tion Hall of the Bedford Branch of
the Y. M. C. A. Dr. Myers’ theme,
also, was popular, being: “Uncle
Sam’s Mark on the World.” « He said,
among other things:
When I was asked to come here
and tell you something of my recent
tour around the world it seemed an
impossibility, there was so much to
be said. Where shall a man begin or
end? Well, we crossed this conti-
nent, which is in itself enough for
one tour for any man; we visited the
Hawaiian Islands, touched at the
Philippines, saw China, Japan, the
Malay Islands, Burmah, India, Cey-
lon; then through the Red Sea, past
Arabia, to Egypt, to Palestine for the
second time, across the Mediter-
ranean, through Europe ana Great
Britain and finally home to America
—God’s own country!
The one thing that we noticed
everywhere in the world was that
there has been a tremendous amount
of progress, and that the progress of
civilization has been greater in the
last ten years than in the hundred
years previous; and that the greatest
element in this world-wide progress
is the influence of American institu-
tions and ideas. The eyes of the
whole world are turned to the Amer-
ican Republic, the world’s purest and
greatest democracy. The civilized
nations of the earth are interested in
the things we have here, and they are
saying: “We must have the same
things as America; we must know
the principles of the American democ-
racy, and we must apply them to our
own governments.”
In the past few years Japan has
adopted and applied the principles
of democratic government, and China
has awakened and is demanding the
institution of democracy, and God
only knows what is going to take
place there. The Empress of China is
dead, and thank God she is, for,
though she was a remarkable woman,
worthy to be ranked with Catharine
of Russia or Queen Elizabeth of Eng-
land in many respects, her policies
have been dealing death blows to
any chances for advancement which
China may have had in the past. We
do not know yet what the outcome
will be, but, in the province of God,
we believe that mighty and marvelous
things are soon to happen in that vast
and ancient empire, and especially in
the next decade. Already the un-
heard of and well nigh inconceivable
thing has happened. As the result of
what has transpired, the Chinese peo-
‘ple are demanding a constitution,
and they will get it sooner or later.
It is the same in India. Lord Minto,
the Governor-General of that colony,
is writing back te England that its
250,000,000 natives are demanding
representation and a greater share in
the gecvernment of their land, and all
the English newspapers and period-
icals are talking about the possibility
of a mutiny on the part of the Iodian
native army of 100,000 men, which
will make Lucknow and the Sepoy
rebellion look like child’s play. The
watchword of the . people is now
“India for the Indians, with repre-
sentative and constitutional govern-
mert!” Persia has caught the spirit
of the Western World and clamors
for similar rights. The Turks, the
Young Turks and all the Turks are
sasing: “We will have constitutional
government,” and the Sultan knows
that they are going to have it, in
spite of the fact that his promises are
not believed and his efforts to put it
off as long as possible.
Now the greatest, the most potent
influence in all this world-wide agi-
tation for liberty and human rights
is the American influence of which I
have spoken.
ing through the Mediterranean, we
met one of those ignorant fellows on
our ship who “know it all” and are
constantly displaying their ignorance;
and he said to me: “Have you seen
that picture back of you on the wall?
Well,” he coatinued, “that is the
greatest and finest clubhouse in the
world!” His mother told him to just
keep still, but he went on talking
about it, showing his ignorance, till
his mother informed him that it was
a picture of the home of the Presi-
dent of the United States; then I had
my turn and I said to them: “Yes,
that’s right! That’s the biggest club-
house in the world; that’s the home
of the ‘Big Stick.’’”” That “big stick”
has had a wholesome influence over
the entire civilized world!
My friends, the one great mark
that Uncle Sam has put on this world
and all around the planet is the prin-
ciple of individual responsibility.
This is the mark cf civilization, and it
is the mark, especially, of Christian
tivilization. The mark of heathenism
is the clan, the tribe, the class, the
family, the bunch; it puts a lot of
heads together, and when it has them
all together, they don’t amount to
much anyway; but the mark of civil-
ization is the individual man, his
rights and his responsibilities. To
the citizens of this country of ours,
Uncle Sam says: “You are citizen-
kings; you have a crown, wear it;
you have a throne, climb up on it;
your have a scepter, wield it; you
have an individual responsibility, use
it!” That is the glory of a Christian
civilization; that lies at the centre of
it, and it reaches to the very core of
the religious life of the citizen; that
is the fountain-head out of which all;
the streams of his life as a citizen
must flow; it is a principle, more-
over, which comes to us directly from
the teachings of Jesus Christ, and a
man’s personal relation to Jesus
Christ is what brings him into right
relation to God. This is the heart of
the Gospel, and it is the secret of the
Christian civilizations of the world.
Jesus said, “If a man will do His will,
he shall know of the doctrine.” If
you want to take the right path, you
will not be long in learnir t the
right path is. an’s condition does
not depend on 1estion of 1
ignorance, bece one
an’s
‘When we were com-:
many times as much and better than
he puts inte practice.
It is_a question, rather, of the
man’s will. Now, follow me: Next
to the omnipotence of God is the
will of man; the sovereign will of
man is the mightiest force in human
life; it is the absolutely fundamental
power in personality, the executive of
the individual“life. Every man is a
small army of faculties, but the will
is the commander, the pilot that runs
the ship, who can bring it safely
through the stress of weather and
wave to its destined harbor. The will
is the king on the throne of the soul!
We are not led into right relations to
God in our religious life through the
feelings or the intellect; it is not
what a man knows, or what he feels,
but what he wilis to be and do, that
makes him a Christian and a man!
If you want something that is going
to push you immediately up to the
higher levels of life and give you a
kingly attitude before God and man,
listen to this: You are what your
will is, not your knowledge or feel=-
ings. At the Battle of Waterloo,
both Napoleon and Wellington knew
that the old farmhouse at Hougou=-
mont was the strategic point in the
conflict; whoever held Hougoumont
would win Walierloo! So a man wins
meral rule over the world just as he
is in possession of his will and its
conscious exercise. To lose his will
is to lose the most divine element in
his nature; to lose it is to be insane.
A friend of mine in good circum-
stances—good enough to take me
riding in his own carriage—got the
‘Wall Street fever; he presently sold
out his business and went on the
“Street; ” but the “Street” soon sold
him out! That's Wall Street’s way.
The man was beside himself. When
I met him, he explained how it was.
He said: “The one difficulty is that
I have no will; I have lost my will,
not my reason, not my love for my
family, or my interest in life, but my
will!” I urged him to hold on, to
attempt the exercise of choice; but it
was of no help to him, and to-day
he is in an insane asylum, where he
will probably remain for the rest of
his life. So every man who has lost
his will is practically insane, too; just
as every man who has the power to
will has the power tc win in the bat-
tles of life and assert his manhood
under any circumstances.
The true Christian is the kingly
man everywhere in the world, in
Japan and America alike!
When you begin to talk about a
man, it is a question of his will, not
of his ignorance or his unbelief. If
a man is not a Christian it is because
he is unwilling to give up sin. I will
tell you—although you know it your-
self,God knows it and the devil knows
it—your sin, something in your life
you are unwilling to give up, alone
keeps you from God; it is something
that lies deep down in your heart,
and you don’t want to drop it out.
If a man has the habit of sinning
he may become so used to it that he
sins, mechanically, and may cease to
regard it as sin. If religion is to be
real and practical, a man must say “I
will—I will give up my sin!”
The second thing I want to talk
about is, “Unwillingness to do God’s
Will.” When you know the will of
God ycu begin to see the hideousness
of sin, and you will curse the hour
that you turned ycur heart away
from God and good; you will wish
you had never seen the vision or His
love. Think of the grand message of
God to man, of its beauty, of its ten-
derness, and you'll wish you never
had seen the vision of it at all unless
you turn from your sin. Here it is:
“Whosoever will, may come.” “If a
man will, he may take of the Water
of Life.” And the most pathetic
words Jesus ever uttered are these:
“Ye will not come unto Me that ye
might have Life!” Oh, how black is
sin when it will draw forth such
words from the Son of God. When
you left the wife and the home, azad
went away to meet sin, you put your
foot out and crushed the beautiful
flower of the Father's love! We
think of such a case; she told us of it
herself. I had married them myself.
She was a beautiful Christian girl;
but he had gone away to sin, and
had come home again and damned
her whole physical life. I do not
think there is a hot enough corner
in hell for that man who is willing
to wreck the soul of wife and ‘child
and taint their blood with the conse-
quences of his sin!
In closing, let me speak to you of
the highest and holiest experience in
my life. One Sunday afternoon some
months ago I was in Jerusalem, with
leisure to do as I pleased for ten days
or more. So I went through the
Damascus Gate that day, and climbed
to the crown of Calvary, that green
hill outside the wall of the city.
There I read the whole story of re-
deeming love, prayed over it, wept
over it; then I went to the foot of
the Mount of Olives and into the
Garden of Gethsemane, where, to my
delight, I found myself alone. From
thence I passed down the Damascus
Rodd along which they brought my
Lord, and through the gate once more
into the city, and over the Via Dolor-
osa to Pilate’s Judgment Hall. In
imagination, I saw the soldiers bring
Him before His judge, followed by
the priests and city rabble; and I
heard their voices demanding His
crucifixion, though Pilate said, “I
find no fault in Him at all!” I heard
them clamor for the release of Bar-
abbas, and saw Pilate surrender Him,
the King of Glory, to their cruel will.
Barabbas they freed; but Jesus they
crucified on Calvary! This is the
question before you men to-day:
“Jesus or Barabbas’’ — holiness or
sin! Every man who turns his back
to-day on Jesus Christ takes Barabbas
and lives in his sin! Which will you
choose?

eye-witness to the resurrection, goes
to the Scripture for proof before ap-
pealing to his own experience. Some
to-day think that their wonderful ex-
perience does away with the necessity
of appeal to the sure Word of God.
Let all such learn wisdom from Peter.
But Peter's testimony had its place
and our testimony has its place,
though it is not the first place—that
belongs to the Word of God. Peter
and the rest were witnesses of the ful-
fillment of this prophecy. Their tes-
timony is unimpeachable. There was
still another witness to the certainty
of the resurrection of Jesus—that
was the outpoured Spirit (v. 33).
II. What Shall We Do? 37-40.
Peter told his hearers that Jesus had
been exalted by God to be both Lord
and Christ. This fact carried home
by the Holy Spirit produced the deep-
est and sharpest conviction of sin.
No other truth is calculated to pro-
duce such profound conviction of sin
as the truth concerning the glory of
Jesus and our consequent enormous
guilt in the rejection and crucifixion
of such an one. The Spirit came to
them and through them convinced
the world (Jno. 16:8). These con-
victed Jews cried out to know what
they were to do. Peter’s answer was
very plain, and perhaps nothing in
the Bible makes the way of salvation
and blessing plainer. (1) ‘“Repent,”
i. e., change their minds about Jesus.
They were to change from that atti-
tude of mind that crucified Jesus to
that attitude of mind that accepted
Him as that which God had exalted
Him to be, Lord and Christ. This} of
couxse, involves repentance of sin, i.
e., renouncing all sin. And it in-
volves the absolute surrender of our
wills to Jesus as our Lord. (2) ‘Be
baptized.” There was to be outward
water baptism. But there must be
more than the mere outward symbol
—there was to be the great inward
fact for which the outward symbol
stood, the renunciation.of sin, faith
in Christ and the putting on of Jesus
Christ (cf. Gal. 3:26, 27; Ro. 6:3,
4). Being ‘baptized in the name of
Jesus Christ” means more than hav-
ing some water sprinkled upon you
(or being immersed in some water)
while a certain baptismal formula is
repeated. It means confession and
renunciation of sin, faith in Christ's
death and resurrection in our behalf,
identification with Christ in His death
and in His resurrection. When there
is real repentance and real baptism
there will be remission of sin and
there will be reception of ‘‘the gift of
the Holy Ghost” (v. 38). The gift of
the Holy Ghost is the blood-bought
birthright of every believer in Jesus
Christ. If one does not have the gift
of the Holy Spirit experimentally it
is either because he does not claim
his birthright by simple prayer and
faith (Acts 4:31; 8:15, 16), or else
because he has not really made Jesus
Lord and Christ by the absolute sur-
render of the will to Him and by
identification with Him in His death
and resurrection by a real baptism of
which his water baptism was a sym-
bol. ‘The promise,” i. e., as the lan-
guage used and the context unmistak-
ably demonstrates (cf. ch. 1:4, 5; 2:
23, 38), the promise of the baptism
with or gift of the Holy Spirit—was
for them as well as for the apostles.
III. A Model Church, 41, 42, Pet-
er’'s sermon had a tremendous effect,
3000 were saved by it. No such ef-
fect had followed Jesus’ own preach-
ing, and His promise that they should
do greater works after His ascension
than He Himself had wrought during
His humiliation (Jno. 14:12) wasthus
fulfilled. And we to-day are united
with this same exalted Christ in the
place of power at God's right hand,
and may speak in the power of this
same mighty Spirit. The inward re-
ception: of the word was outwardly
expressed in baptism. These 3000
baptisms in a day were the outcome
of the ten days of waiting upon God
in prayer (cf. ch.1:14). Surely those
ten days had not been wasted. The
work proved to be lasting, ‘‘they con-
tinued steadfastly.”” The four things
in which they continued steadfastly
are worthy of note. (1) ‘‘The apos-
tles’ teaching.” There was no run-
ning away after every new religious
fad that came up. (2) ‘The apos-
tles’ fellowship.” Fellowship is one
of the necessities of healthy Christian
growth (Eph. 4:15, 16). The one
who seeks to grow in seclusion, separ-
ated from the brethren, is doomed
not only to disappeintment, but worse
still, to sad distortion of character.
(3) “In the breaking of bread.” They
did not neglect regular obedience to
Jesus’ commandment to show His
death and to feed upon Him in the
communion service. (4) “In pray-
ers.” Just here is the point where
the average Christian of to-day de-
paws most lamentably from the ex-
ample of the apostolic church,

Indian Unrest.
Unrest in India is obviously becom-

ed by the government in its enact-
ment of a “summary justice’ bill for
dealing with sedition. For weeks the

most daily marked with reports of
daeolty, or of assassinaation attempt-
ed or effected. Dynamite plots have
been discovered, bomb-throwing has
been indulged in, and incitements to
wholesale massacre and insurrection
have been and are numerous in the
press. There have been hints at a
general uprising in April next.
Whether they are fulfilled or not,
there can be little question that the
government is now facing the most
serious problem which it has had be-
fore it since the great mutiny of half
a century ago.—Chicago Tribune.
PATIENT SUFFERING.
Many Women Think They Are
Doomed to Backache.
It is not right for women to be al-
ways ailing with backache, urinary
ills, headache and oti-
er symptoms of kid-
ney disease. There is
a way to end these
troubles quickly. Mrs.
John H. Wright,'606
East First St., Mitch-
ell,i'S. D., says: “I
suffered ten years
with kidney comniaint
and a doctor iold me I would never
get more than temporary relief. A
dragging pain and lameness in my
back almost disabled me. Dizzy
spells came ard went and the kidney
secretions were irregular. Doan’s
Kidney Pills rid me of these troubles
and I feel better than for years past.”

Supremacy of Law.
The supremacy of the law is the
first principle of popular government.
Freedom of speech and freedom of
the press depend upon it, as does all
other freedom. When a free press
challenges the law it challenges the
guaranty of its own existence. There
is always an appeal to the people
against unjust laws. Thd& courts are
open to appeal against unconstitution-
al laws. But there is no opportunity
under stable and safe government for
the defiance of law. Neither pre-
judice nor friendly interests should
disguise the issue in this case.—Bos-
ton Herald.
