Good Breeding. > Good breeding will tide over many an awkward spot in life, and good breeding is not uncommon. It flour- ishes in several grades of society, and is often lacking in high circles, where it is expected. Men and women who are brought up to refined living sel- dom find employment in the other kind, although a few are able to keep to it in sordid surroundings. Education is an important feature of modern life, but it is no way allied with good breeding.

Among individual makers, however, practically nothing but the princess dress obtains, but it is so varied that each one seems to be in - a class by itself. Some are so severely simple that they really take the place of the tailored suit. Many are ‘‘oblong,” but many, too, are fitted to the figure quite to the hip line. I have seen one or two which were fitted to and cut off at this line, the skirt below being added there under flat. stitching. Sometimes the body portion is made with pleats, stitched flat to the hips, after which they fall free.—Harper’s Bazar. i Women as Fighting Voters. «Women are better prepared to vote to-day than any class of people who have the ballot were at the time they received the franchise,” said the Rev. Anna Howard Shaw to the New York Telegram. “We are told that women should not vote because they cannot fight,” she continued, ‘but the ablest states- men to-day are some of the men who could not fight. Many men who could not fight vote admirably; many men able and willing to fight vote other- wise than admirably. If the ability to fight is to be the basis of repre- sentation at the polls, then let all people, male and female, who cannot fight be disfranchised, and let all those, male and female, who can fight be enfranchised. You would be sur- prised, if this were done, at the num- ber of women voters there would be. “In a country where symbols—a rooster, an eagle, a man with a ham- mer—are required at the tops of bal- ots, surely the basis of representa- tion is not education.

The essential of every complexion bath is friction, for the skin thrives under stimulation of the right sort. The woman who takes a towel at night and rubs her cheeks vigorously will have a pair of pretty pink cheeks in the morning. Warm cream made from a cold cream recipe is a certain beauty’s unfailing friend. She heats it in a saucer held over a pan of boiling water, and with {it she rubs her face. She works from the roots of the hair downward, until she gets to the chin, which she massages upward, to keep the cheeks and neck from wrinkling. The cold cream is permitted to remain on the face for ten minutes. Then a chamois leather is taken and the cream is rubbed off, following this process with another dose of cream, which also is rubbed off. The pores of the skin thus are filled and the moisture which time took out in the day has been restored. —New York Press. The Girl We Like to Meet.

A BRILLIANT SUNDAY SERMON BY THE REV. W. H. M’MASTER. Theme: The Gospel. Brooklyn, N. Y.—The Rev. W. A. McMaster, pastor of Embury Memo- rial M. E. Church, has been holding special evangelistic services for some time, which have been most success- ful. In connection with these services he preached, Sunday morning, on “The Gospel as the Philosophy of History.” The text was from Acts 13:26: “To you is the word .of this salvation sent.” Mr. McMaster said: This direct announcement is from the first recorded missionary address of St. Paul. He and Barnabas had only recently started from Antioch in Syria, upon their first missionary tour. Barnabas, perhaps a convert of Pentecost, had been sent to take charge of the great revival in Anti- och, which had broken out simulta- neously with Peter’s opening the door of Christianity at Caesarea, and ad- mitting, by baptism, Cornelius and his family, the first Gentile converts to Christianity. This action of Peter was a great and significant innova- tion. He certainly was using the keys which our Lord had given him. This revival at Antioch was a revival among the Gentiles, and the work was. growing to such an extent that Barnabas must have help, and he thought of Paul, a man he had met in Jerusalem some eight years be- fore, and though the Jews made it so hot for Paul that Barnabas had known ‘him but two weeks, he be- lieved that Paul was the man of the hour. He went to Tarsus, where Paul had been . obscurely working and waiting for eight years—how long God makes some of His servants wait —but now the man was ready and the times were ripe, and when the Church of Antioch, here for the first time called ‘‘Christian,” decided in true missionary spirit to send mes- sengers of the great salvation to the Gentiles, Paul stands at last face to face with the world he is to conquer. To show you the elements which make up this world which Paul faces, I take you to the Isle of Cyprus, their first halting place, and which, strange to say, presents in miniature the great world with which Christianity must cope. \ Paphos, the chief town, “was the seat of -the worship of Venus, the goddess of love, who was said to have been born of the foam of the sea at this very spot, and her worship was carried on with the wild- It was a picture in miniature of Greece sunk in moral decay.” Beauty divorced from mor- ality was the outcome of Greek art and culture. ‘Paphos was also the seat of the Roman Government, and in the proconsular chair sat a man, Sergius Paulus, whose noble charac- ter but utter lack of faith formed a companion picture of the inability of Rome at that epoch to meet the deepest necessities of her best sons.” In this same court was a Jewish sor- cerer and quack, named Elymas, whose playing by his arts upon the inquirer’s credulity was a picture of the depths to which the Jewish char- acter could sink. Paul, representing the Gospel of Christ, entered this situation. He covered - the Jewish magician with disgrace, converted the Roman gov- ernor, and founded in the town a Christian church in Opposijion to the Greek shrine. Leaving Cyprus, let us now hasten to Antioch in Pisidia, their first halting place in the in- terier of Asia Minor, where a typical scene occurs which, because it is typ- ical, we shall describe. In the light of history the coming of Paul and Barnabas to a town was the most sig- nificant event and worthy to be marked by processions and a gorg- eous reception; but how different the reality. + These two walk into Anti- och as any two strangers would come into Brooklyn. First they find a lodging, and then they lcck for work. Imagine Paul going from door to door of tentmakers inquiring for work. On the Sabbath Day they go to the synagogue and join in the psalms and prayers and listen to the law (perhaps the first chapter of Deuter- onomy), and to the prophets (per- haps the first of Isaiah). Then the ruler of the synagogue turns to the strangers and asks them if they have any word of exhortation to the peo-- ple. This is Paul’s opportunity. He arises, and, beckoning attention with his hand, launches upon the sea of Hebrew history, suggested by the law, and explains the fulfillment of Isaiah in Jesus Christ, and declares “To you is the word of this salvation sent.” The people gather about him after. the assembly is dismissed and beg him to come back next Sunday. He explains the gospel to inquirers as he works through the week, and on the next Sabbath almost the whole city assembles to hear him; but when he declares that this salvation is for” the Gentiles, the Jews grow jealous and soon stir up persecution and compel them to leave the town. Thus, while his great mission was to preach the gospel, his great barrier was Jewish exclusiveness and his chief and immediate work took the form of championing tke cause of Gentile freedom and propping open, so that no man could shut it, the door which Peter was privileged to open. The greatest battles of human his- tory have been battles for freedom, and each struggle has had its hero. Battles for national freedom—Moses for enslaved Israel, Washington for the oppressed colonies. . Battles for freedom of conscience-~Luther and Knox. Battles for human rights— Wilberforce and Garrison. Battles, battles for catholic thought and a uni- versal gospel—Paul, the Gentiles! The rest of my sermon shall be an elaboration of three great typical missionary speech of St. Paul: How the history of the world js transfigured in the light of the gospel into the history of the King-- dom of God. a The present time is vitally con- cerned with history. The criticism is historical, archeology is historical, philology is historical, evolution is ree | { | historical and the profound search | of human thought is for a key to history, a philosophy of history. i St. Paul's address | He went back throug | history of the chos ) the apostle to | points which I gather from this great, : while it was historical, the name of God is in every sentence. No speech was ever more bold in its assertion of God in history. To the speaker, his- tory was not chaotic, with no purpose or goal; not an eddying current, but a great Gulf $tream, flowing on with gathering momentum and speed to- ward a ‘‘far off and divine event.” The history was progressive, evolu- tionary, and the goal of evolution is freedom in. the Kingdom of - God. “The law’’—what was that but the necessary objective standard in the old times of compulsion and force, but now.in the freedom of love ab- sorbed in Christ, who is the end of the law to every one that believeth, and to bring us to Christ, the law as a schoolmaster was ordained. . The .prophets! :- What were the but the awakening of visions as the insufficiency of law became manifest and the declaring and promising on divine authority a great incarnation of suffering, atoning-love, who would be the fulfilling of all the law and the prophets? ' All the promises and prophecies of Israel’s history are de- clared fulfilled in the coming of Jesus Christ. : And now I arrive at the second great proposition: 2. Jesus Christ is the centre of human history, ful- filling its law and prophecy, and fur- nishing the type-man and liberator of all humanity. Let me quote Dr. Martinsen: ‘The perfect revelation of the wonder-working Providence of God is presented in the incarnate Logos, in the world-redeeming, soul- saving manifestation of God in Christ. Human history finds its centre, its true meaning, in the revelation of Jesus Christ. It is only in the-light which comes from Him, that human- ity can look back upon a past which is full of meaning, can look forward to a future full of promise, and can contemplate its development as an organic whole. Human history, which moves on apart from Christ, without desire for, or belief in Him, knows neither beginning nor end—it is objectless, it has no centre.” Now, we have been looking over large areas and asserting vast gen- eralizations. We have discovered a philosophy of history, that it has a purpose which is redemptional, that it has a goal which is freedom, that it has a centre and head which is Christ, that is has a glorious consum- mation in the future which. is the Kingdom of Christ and God. I want now to remind you that God governs the mass by governing the atom; that He swings the currents of history as He is able to control the individuals. What we have read writ large in hu- man history, can we not read in our own individual lives? Is there not a philosophy of your personal history? May not some key of spiritual sig- nificance be applied te the puzzling experiences of your life and unlock the hidden meaning? As the Gospel is the revelation of God’s redemption- al purpose in history and as Christ is its centre, so the whole of your life will fail of meaning and interpreta- tation until you view it in this light. Were you born amid Bibles and Sun- day schools, and pastors and teach- ers? What for in God’s providence but to learn of His will concerning you? Were "your first conscious views centered in the starry eyes of mother, whose fair face heavened you over. as a starry firmament? What was it but to elicit your smile and to teach you love? Have you struggled with mystery and battled with pas- sion? What for but to develop your strength? Hava you been aflicted? What for but to scourge you back to God? Have you been defeated, and has the burden of sin rested like a load on your conscience? , What for but to drive you to the cross of Christ, where kneeling in penitence, His blood washes your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? Have you been believed and have you refused to be comforted? What does it mean but that you should take that lonely aching heart to Him who alone can heal it and fill its depths which He has reserved for Himself alone? “To you is the word of this salva- tion sent.’’ This is my third point. This salvation is for you. It inter- prets ‘your past, it opens up your fut- ure. It makes the past full of God’s patient seeking and beckoning love for your heart. Won’: you embrace Christ as your All in All this morn- ing, and find in Him remission of all your sins, and freedom from its pow- er? “Whom the Son makes free is free indeed.” This battle against sin is the greatest battle of all for free- dom, and Christ is its Champion and the Great Emancipator. It'is through Him and His loyal servants in his- tory that you have freedom of the Gospel, freedom of conscience, of knowledge, of speech and of press, of body, of nation. Will you not accept the great salvation with its inner per- sonal freedom from the power of sin and Satan? He is the Good Shepherd and He is seeking you. ‘He will seek until He finds.” Yes, and He desires not only to find you, but to carry you with all your bruises and burdens, and establish you in the fold of His: church, giving you relations to it and fitting you into His eternal kingdom, which ‘is the final consummation of all things. ‘ Get Away With God Alone. Man is no better than a leaf driv- en by the winduntilhe has conquered his lonely duties. This makes a man —the habit: of confronting great things in solitude, and chiefly the habit of conversing with God alone, and of filling the soul with His strength. For, remember, the man who is a stranger to these habits of solitude is neither his cwn master nor the possessor of his own house. He owns a great house, and an eter- nial house, but it is: shut up and locked, and he lives outside, ‘““until in his solitude he join God unto him- self.”’—J. Pulsford. The Light of Love. The effort to do right does not necessarily lead to the happy, spon- taneous and loving practice of good- ness. This is to be found not in the law, but in the gospel; not in the sight of duty, but in the sight of love. It is affectionate, filial grati. tude for unbought, unearned mercy. It is the at love of him who has been f n much.—James Free- man Cla No Stumbling. an ever stumbles over his when he is walking with ES “The Luxury of the Rich” By Charles johnston : TN. #4 2aappe a OR any one who has imagination, there is a curious and won- 3 derful story behind a “luxurious” pill of fare. Let us begin # with the wines; and let us assume that they ‘are genuine, i for one can usually have the authentic thing by paying the % price for it. The wines on a richly decked table really rep- resent the wark of hundreds of French peasants, with their Be a8 aD Be B o0s Le Bee SB BORER TS wives and children, who, in the midst of a lovely country, rise early and toil late, with loving and tender care watch- ing over the growth and ripening of the fruit of what is one of the most beautiful and decorative plants in the world. Millions of these thrifty, simple people depend for their well-being and comfort on the constant demand for wines, and for the best and purest, and therefore the most extensive wines. The rich do not compel these people to work; ‘nature compels them to work. What the rich do is to influence the direction in which they shall work, and to bring within their reach all kinds of commodi- ties in exchange for their work. : So other things on the same table represent the well-being, the family comfort, of shepherds in the hills, perhaps, of our west, or of Wales or Scotland; or the wealth of fishermen on the rivers of Maine or along our New England coasts; or down south, in the Gulf, or in the oyster beds at the mouths of our Trivers; or, again, the earnings of the hunters along the fringes of the sea marshes, or among the woods and hills, or on the prairies; vigorous, adventurous men, with a warm love of every changing aspect of natural beauty, who are thus able to lead half-wild lives under the fair dome of heaven. It is just this putting in motion of a huge army of folk, scattered over widespread regions, carrying out exacting tasks, that makes the cost of an expensive banquet; and the rich man is simply the factor determining in which of a score of directions a constant stream of resources shall flow, bringing the power to work, and recompense for work, to a varied army of good people all over the world.

It is a curious coin- cidence that the first performance of Goethe's “Faust” should have been given in Schloss Monbijou, the home of the Hohenzollern museum, for it would almost seem as though the Berliners had modelled their daily speech after the caustic, sneering, telling style of the engaging villain in that drama. They have little humor, but much wit of the barbed, barracks variety. And Because their unpleasant qualities are on the surface and their admir- able .ones.are below, the Berliners do a grave injustice to the rest of Ger- many.
