Text, II Tim.-4:7: “I have fought the good fight; I have finished my course; I have kept the faith.” Paul draws us a picture here of a man who has been fighting with the cestus and who, full of honors and glory, with the laurels of victory on his brow, lays down his instruments of hostility. He pictures a runner who has gone the course, who has run the race and has won, and who has received the palm of victory. He depicts a man who in the affairs of the spiritual life has been true to his Maker and his God and is upon the threshold of entering into the viec- tory of the life eternal. . This assertion of Paul that he has fought a good fight, has finished the course, has kept the faith, is the as- surance of a man who was successful in all that to which he laid his hands. Paul was a man who had attained, who had reached his reward, who had gained success. He had put into effect certain plans that he had for the ordering of his own life and the betterment of the men and women with whom he had come in contact. He had executed arrangements for the preaching of the blessed news of Jesus Christ, and he had his eyes fixed not so much on what he had accomplished as upon the victory which he had achieved, upon the crown which was awaiting him when he should go into the presence of the Lord his God. St. Paul was a man who accom- plished. He not only put tasks in motion; he fulfilled them. He was a man who cchieved much. In a world where so many of us do things in a small way, he did things might- ily and inspiringly. He was a man ‘whose achievements were like unto the mighty victories won by Christ. This success of Paul is the ideal of every man and every woman. This victory and success which crowned his efforts is the desire of every hu- man heart that is normal. There is not one of us but has dreamed of mighty things, but has longed for ability and power to accomplish great things for God and man; none of us but who, in our youth, and perhaps in later days, has reached unto great- er things than any we have yet ac- complished, for this power of Paul to execute and effect. This ability to affect the whole history of the lives of the men with whom he comes in contact is the de- sire and the ideal of every human soul. But our great question is, how shall we achieve? how shall we ac- complish that to which we lay our hands? how shall we execute the task which under God is given us to do? How shall we attain, how shall we achieve, each in our peculiar sphere, according to our peculiar ability, that we may do something either small or great for the weal of men and for the glorious peopling of the kingdom of Jesus Christ? It seems to me that there are four elements that enter into success, four things that are necessary that we shall be able to do a work for God that shall count, a work that shall amount to something for the weal of men, for the betterment of lives about us, for the satisfaction of our own ideals. A man cannot do very much unless first of all he has some self-apprecia- tion. That is not to say he should have egotism; that is not to say that he disdains others, not that he weighs himself in the scales to the disparagement of other men; but it is to say that he has placed himself objectively over against his own per- sonality and has sized himself up so that he has a first-class and first hand idea of his own ability. It is a good thing to have an appreciation of our own abilities, a better to have a comprehension of our own limita- tions; but, while it is a good thing to know our own limitations, I am a profound believer that we know too many times the extent of our limita- tions and not of our abilities. We seem to think that what other men have done we cannot do; that what men of equal brains and ability have done we cannot do; we are afraid to lay our hands to the work of God because we fear perchance we cannot do that to which we have laid our hand. To many a man the apprecia- tion of his own divine power is in the terms of limitation rather than in the terms of real ability. How many men we meet will tell us what they cannot do, who would do thus or so if they were able; who are so taken up with the consideration of those things which God hath not given them the ability to do that they forget’ the potentialities divine and eternal which God hath placed within their own grasps and personalities. St. Paul was a man who had meas- ured his abilities and knew what he could do, who had no mean apprecia- tion of what he could do. When he met Jesus face to face there was no hesitation: as to whether he was a man who’ was divinely called, as to whether he was the man who was called to do the work. The knowl- edge that God had called him was sufficient knowledge that he had the ability, that he was of some worth for the bringing of the good news of the Gospel to those who were in sin. Paul was a man who had some ap- preciation of himself, he knew what he should do and the way he should do it. \ We do not have direction. We beat against the wind, we waste our time with futile beatings against the air, we spread ourselves out too thin. How many men. there are who have not achieved because they have tried too many things, who have not had enough self-appreciation to know wherein their abilities lie strongest. As Paul was a man who gave the right emphasis to his life; so, con- trariwise, there are men in the world who with mediocre abilities have not had the sense to see the leadings of their own powers, the guidance of Providence in their own lives, who have laid the emphasis in the wrong place and given their whole time and erdeavor to the working of things for which they were never fitted. We see that all over the world; men in the pulpit who ought to .be at the plow, men plowing the fields who ought to be proclaiming the Gospel of Christ, men who are out of place in the great mechanism of God’s eter- nal plan, men who have never be- come fitted for and have never gotten into their proper places, who have never reached the point at which their energies should be applied and have never seen the guidance of God in their lives. I believe the secret of the success of every man who has influenced the world is to be found in the emphasis which he laid upon that which he was able to do. Called for serious things, he did not attempt to be the buffoon. Summoned to bring men to the knowledge of the glorious Gospel of Christ, he did not attempt to be a jester for a friend. Bidden enliven life for those around him by the appreciation of the things which are humorous, he would stick to that one thing, and that alone and in that would achieve success. You and I might never have heard of Martin Luther unless he had placed the emphasis aright. We might never have heard of Jesus Christ if He had taken the taunts of the offi- -cers and those in high places and had given all that was best in Him over to their whim and will, if He had subverted His holy power because they laughed Him to scorn, because they informed Him that He was scan- dalously wrong when He claimed to be the Son of God. We might never have heard of Him unless He had placed the emphasis of His whole life correctly. It is a rule in the law of mechanics that a man to achieve success must direct his power to the right place. There is only one place where he can achieve most by the application of power, and that is where the power needs most to be applied. And so, if we are to run our course and in- herit a crown, we must first of all find out what our abilities are and then lay our efforts where God leads us. While there are many men who have appreciation of their own ability and have measurable success in lay- ing their abilities in the line of least resistance, there have been men who have not accomplished anything be- cause they had no tenacity, who were so anxious for attainment all at once that they would constantly shift themselves and lose their direction. In the desire to accomplish many things they have never accomplished anything at all. A man may appreciate his own powers and size himself up well; he may direct his powers in the right way and be tenacious, but unless he has a clean heart and a conscience undefiled before God and man he cannot accomplish much in this world. One of the worst things with which we have to deal is an accusing conscience, a soul which is constantly calling unto us that we are hamper- ing it. We cannot accomplish much if we are hampering our souls against the achievement which might be ours. A clean heart fits a man for life’s labors; it is a mighty power. No man can do the work which God hath given unto him to do save as his own life is pure in God’s sights in the sight of his neighbor and in his ‘own eyes. Many a man who might have done something has done noth- ing because, first of all, he has stulti- fied and strangled his soul, because he has forgotten that the secret of all success unto good work is a happy heart. A happy heart cannot come save as a'man is right before God. These are the elements which un- derlie the life of Jesus Christ and of Paul. As they underlie these two lives, they spell success for you and me. How many there are who never achieve in the spiritual life because they have no understanding of their own divinity. How many do not achieve because they have never con- sidered the soul from an understand- ing point of view. How many men we meet who are built physically by the plans of God, but whose souls are small and shrivelled and mean because they have never given the same attention to the erection and understanding of the soul life which they have given to the building up of their physical beings. How many there are who have understood the power of the mind, but whose souls are misshapen and warped because they have never grasped the divine powers of their souls. We need to consider soul forces as much as physical. We need to un- derstand the soul and the laws of its actions even as we understand the human animal. No man can achieve in the physical world save as he has studied his soul objectively to see in what manner he was made. A man cannot understand what his soul is until first of all he gets near to Jesus Christ. He must have gotten a full knowledge of the nature and dignity of the human soul. It behooves us to get hold of some real appreciation of our innate divinity, of the ele- ments of personal purity and right- eousness which are ours before God, and then to address our lives to at- tainment in spiritual things, unto the building up of our souls in righteous- ness and purity and perfectness. And above all, to keep at it. The trouble with the church and the indi- vidual Christian is too much. that we work by. fits and starts. We are care- ful that we get three meals a day and eight hours of sleep, to get money to supply the body’s needs. We manage to keep out of jail, to have a house over our heads to pro- teet us against the weather. We Yabor assiduously and continuously toward these things. But we nur- ture the soul by fits and starts; we give God the Sabbath or one night a week or two minutes and a half when we retire to rest. We are not con- tinuous but spasmodic servants. If men by marvelous tenacity have achieved miraculous success in the physical life, so you and I may achieve majestic spiritual success if we will lay our emphasis upon spirit- ual things; and, getting a good grasp upon the things which are eternal and upon God Himself, stand fast, fight the good fight, finish the course, keep the faith.

There is no doubt that in an institu- tion of this kind blue-eyed babies up for adoption are more popular than the dark-eyed youngsters.

The one branch of business that has flourished like the green bay tree, despite distressing financial condi- tions, is the trading in human hair. The fashion of elaborate -hairdress- ing and the era of false hair preceded the panic in the money market and has been in. no ‘way affected by it, and the dealers in hair goods -.are reaping a harvest that has been ripening for some time.’ Few of the wearers of fetching puffs and silky coils, of curls and wigs, have more than a vague idea of the source of supply. They under- stand the product to be human hair and seek to know nothing more. A ' man, brought up in the business and accumulating wealth by means of the present-day fashions, has confided the reason for excessively high prices in hair which looks no better than the cheaper grade. This is as follows: Prosperity reigned for a number of years and the peasant girls were not forced to part with their hair, This source of supply being restricted the price jumped, of course, and an- other had to be found because only the few could afford such luxuries. China proved the salvation of the hair trade after a method of refining and changing the color of the coarse black hair had been discovered, which method, by the way, happens to be a cheap one.—Pittsburg Dis- patch. .

The new idea of making the sleeves in the evening gown entirely unlike can come very near being grotesque. Every dressmaker does not know how to do it in such an artistic way that one does not realize the sleeves are unlike until a close inspection. This fashion is as old as Egypt. Antique gowns show it, so do those of the Middle Ages. Not only are the fabrics used quite different, but the two sleeves are of different lengths. For instance, in a rose pink satin gown the sleeve on the right arm is merely a drapery of pink tulle caught with a wide pointed shoulder piece of cut crystals strung on white net. This has a cap-like effect and hangs in a tasseled point half-way to elbow. On the left arm is a five-inch square sleeve of pink tulle embroid- ered with. rhinestones and finished with a three-inch fringe of them. In this gown the materials are alike, although differently managed. In another gown of white satin the right sleeve is covered with a cap of pink roses and green leaves mounted on pink tulle. The left sleeve is of rich gold lace, unlined and finished with its own scallops. This extends half-way to elbow and stands out in a conspicuous man- ner, as there is no other gold lace on the frock.—Philadelphia Ledger. THE PRETTY GIRL Begins the day with a tepid tub. If tub is not accessible, she takes a tepid bath, and follows this with a spray of eau de cologne, than which there is nothing more cooling to the body. Sprays her’ face at night with hot water from a small bath spray. No matter how hot it is, this tingling cools the skin. Afterward she rubs a liberal amount of cold cream on her face and wipes off with a piece of flannel. Does not use rouge in the summer time. She knows that it will show on her complexion. However, she rubs a great deal of powder on her face, and so keeps it fine and soft. Keeps her hair fluffy.

White in s to make her who had heralded a guest as a great bridge player, only to have the guest lose steadily through a fortnight’s visit. If you want to make a success of a stranger do not herald her charms. Many a good looking debutante has had her winter ruined by friends who proclaimed her a beauty or a winner before her debut. Even inanimate things seem to share the perversity that makes living up to a reputation difficult. What noted cook has not had her cake turn heavy or her charlotte russe grow buttery at the time she most wished to make an impression? There ‘are times when living up to a reputation is good discipline, The woman who has a name for a sweet disposition cannot cut loose and rage under provocation for fear of public opinion. Sometimes the fact that we are supposed to have certain character- istic is a handicap on our good time. A young woman wondered at her lack of social success, until finally she dis- covered that the men thought her a literary shark because she had car- ried off honors in college of which her doting mother had boasted. Another woman is slow in making friends because near-sighted eyes and a tip-tilted chin have given her an un- deserved reputation for haughtiness. Often it is as hard to live up to our reputation as to live it down. It is perhaps easier to make the world for- get a shortcoming than to beat into it the idea that one is not so clever or witty or. lavish as she is credited. If you get a name for being a great reader RO one thinks of offering you the latest novel, though your brain is fiction hungry. The sorry jokes we are forced to endure from the pro- fessed wit are half of them due to his feeling that he must not fall short of his reputation. The woman who is considered gen- erous often finds the bills are left for her to foot. Often she meets with criticism when she does a nice thing because it does not come up to the recipient’s idea of the donor’s lavish. ness. Worst of all is it to live up to a reputation of superiority.

T | THE RACING CHAUFFEUR AND HIS PAY. It is Not True That He Coins Gold in Every Contest of Speed. The life of a chauffeur who drives for glory is a strenuous one. ‘When he is not trying to clip a second off his own or a rival’s record on the track, or dodging cops on endurance runs or speed tests, he is rushing to and fro between factory and sales- room, trying out high powered new machines, tuning up old racers or building something new in bubble- wagons; for most ot the noted whirl- wind drivers are just plain ordinary demonstrators or testers, when they are not out for records. A few of the older ones are automobile engi- neers, but the young fellows are mostly all looking forward to the day when they will build gasoline en- F gines as well as run and repair them. The more ambitious ones are saving their money for a course in mechani- cal engineering; but as many of the cash prizes offered in the different events fail to materialize, this is slow work for most of them. The cups and other trophies won go to the firm, but the drivers get the med- als and some of them hate quite a string of these gold and silver souve- nirs. ’ : There is considerable misconcep- tion as to the amounts paid to driv- ers, based on a few instances where they have received special pay for special races. The general public has a mistaken idea that a popular driver coins money in every speed contest, and has nothing to do be- tween times but ride around in a fast car and enjoy himself; but his earn- ings, in fact, are not those of a fam= ous jockey. Some good drivers re= ceive as much as seventy dollars a week, but the average men who drive racing cars in America to-day, are factory men on regular salaries, and in a majority of cases do not ex- ceed from thirty-five to forty-five dollars a week. For the important races they may sometimes get a little extra pay; and of course they receive their traveling expenses, just as any, other employe of the company does. There is such a tremendous desire among automobile operators all over -the country to have an opportunity to win fame and glory in great racing events, that there are hundreds of applicants for the driver's seat of every racing car, and many of the “crack” operators will drive for al- most nothing for the chance to get before the public. This has brought the prices of drivers down with a rush.—Minna Irving, in Putnam’s and The Reader. He Liked the Sound. Mr. Goff has a humor peculiarly his own.
