These last are exceedingly handsomt made of lace, but can be of tbe materia trimmed or of embroidery or tuckec taffeta or of almost any contiyistinj material that may please the fancy.

Y.?At the Church of he Messiah, the Right Rev. Bishop; Seymour was the preacher Sunday J norning. lie chose for his subject, J My Shepherd," and his text was j' 'salm 1:23: "The Lord is my shepherd; : herefore I can lack nothing," he said: | We pass from the brightness of Jhvistmas and Epiphany to the seaon of Lent that closes with the darkless of Good Friday. Ere we hid Cpiphany goodby let us consider what t tells us, namely, that our Saviour ame to be the Saviour of all mankind. Epiphany falls into two divisions: The Jliristmas of the Jew and the Chrlstoas of the Gentile. First, the Christoas of the Jew, when the shepherds ame as the representatives of the hepherd nation; came called on by n angel through whose dispensation he law was given to the Jew; ame to the manger; came to worship. Lnd then the Gentile Christmas, called 3piphany, when the kings were led by ' ? A nrl He Star 10 woramp mu cuiiu. heu the fact that the Jew and the Jentile alike fell down and worshiped he little child, a baby, weaker than he weakest, I mpy say, of all the oung, and yet?Him by whom the rorlds were made. It is indeed a wonlerful spectacle to see the Jew and he Gentile alike worshiping the babe. Ve leave the angelic host that sang ver Bethlehem and ; le brightness of he star which brought the three kings -at all events the kings of the East vorshiped the little babe with approbate gifts?for the transition period if Lent. Could I do better than ask yon, with oySelf, to consider our personal reponsibility in the w^-ds of the text: The Lord is my shepherd; therefore in T inek nothlne?" Here is a dec nration which may make or not. as re choose, for the possessive pronoun s Intensive?"my," as though It were omething that we loved, as jewels of arth?"they are mine; I own them." >o:"The Lord Is my shepherd." and lased upon that declaration Is the act; "therefore can I lack nothing." ?here 1s no word which more frequently falls from our lisp than "I." It Is he shortert word in human speech? i single letter?becnuso it brings to he surface personality. Go whither ou will, on every side you will hear oea, women and child uttering "I." I" Is to each one the centre of the iniverse; everything radiates from it nd everything comes into it. Aud this s right in its way, only sometimes it is xagjrerated and we have what we all selfishness. But I am not dislosed to criticise that fust now, only o say that this pronoun "my" grows >ut of ttt persouiu pronoiu "I," beause it deuotes ownership?"my." ^.nd we may say, the poorest of us, Irst we own ourselves: "I, myself; 1 lelong to myself," and it is on the >asis of that, claim t':at we have the vars for independence, for liberty or lersonal right, and men resist the idea if being owned by the others, and premlnently In .this land of freedom laim to be free?"I own myself." 1 save not time to analyze the worth of he claim, for it is immense: '.'Mine, plrit, body;" this creature, of G.odIke mould and sunning workmanship, low marvellously built up! A single irofession, numbering some of the 4-st?.4- mnn /InVAffic HoTC OflH WPPk'R glories of Paradise ana Heaven. "Tue ; Lord is my shepherd; therefore cau 1 j ack nothing." becaus: He .was bom 1 UJCU, UVT ViVO m o studying it and yet has not fathomed ts secrets. The medical profession is argely experimental to-day. It has oade wonderfql discoveries in fifty 'ears, and still it has not yet probed his little mass of matter, the body, to ts depths. And back of it is the mind, he intellect, the memory that holds he past and hope that grasps the fuure; the mind that deals with premses and conclusions and reasons. It las no moral quality, it is pure intelt;ct. Deeper down than it is the spirit, he seat of conscience, the moral sense, narvelous beyond expression! that eniihasizes our nearness to God. Body, uind and spirit bound up together and tach of us claim to own that trinity >lended into unity. "I, myself, I own nyself." Let us pass on. "My time;" that is. 'my life. These hours and days and veeks are mine," and, hence, the wage luestion, when men claim the right to ;ell their time for so much. So, you tee, we claim the ownership of time. )f course, it is not really ours. "Our imes are in His hand." Still, we :laim it. < "My years are so many." 3ence, we see another element of yea 1th?time, opportunity. Then, igain, character, "my character," emjhasized by the name. A good name s worth a good deal. We pass still 'urther: "My position in life, in so:iety, my parentage, my surroundings, ny friends and relative^-these belong o me." And they are worth a great leal sometimes. Then we come down o that with which we are most faniliar: "My material wealth, my stocks tnd bonds, Jewels, wardrobe. They be ong to me." Now, that brings us to David's ;laim: "The Lord is my shepherd." Fou do not give up the other things, jut you make another claim, and that rou can only make through Him -who illows it, and He allows it by coming lere to be reached and embraced, if ,'ou will, and loved. He revealed Himself as one of us in order that through ETim we, by the Holy Ghosr, might each the Father, for He romes out ;rom the invisible to be visible. He ;an be touched and handled and seen lere. H6 was here with a certain generation when this was the case. We nust not envy them, for we have a jreater privilege than they. You renember Thomas. Jesus said to him ifter he had been so obstinate, "Bemuse thou hast seen Me thou hast beieved; blessed are they that have not seen and yet have believed." We may lelieve if we will, on the undoubted :estimony of the ages, that Jesus after leath was on this earth. He had jassed through the graven gate of leath and had consummated for man he glory of the resurrection, and took >ur nature through into heaven and ilessed it on the throne of God, where He ever remains as a magnet to draw nen in love, so that we may say with David, "The Lord is my shepherd, Jierefore can I lack nothing." Now, my friends. I wish to sny that io other element of wealth can enable js to say, "Therefore can I lack notling." Try the experiment with which ive are most familiar as a world rower, tvealth in any form. I have been with some of tlie wealthiest men that the ast generation knew. I have seen ;hem in the hour of death and as they lied the bonds and stocks o? wealth fell down and passed hands. It could lot buy an entrance ticket to Faradise jor to heaven. If you would be wise consider the end and nothing between. Forecast the frture, not as bounded jy the horizon of earth, but by Jhe tvlth as, nay, conceived witn us, and He goes through life's journey with us is our friends do who survive us, but they must part wRh uc as we bid them the Inst farewell; but He, of whom the Psalmist speaks, "The Lord my Bhepherd," He dies with me, is buried with me; He goes to Paradise with my soul; He will be with me at the last great day, and if I have been loyal and true to Him, He will welcome me to His everlasting blessing; He will be my advocate and plead His sacrifice to take away my sins. Observe that the religion which Jesus gives us embraces the whole of life. There is no other religion that does. You may divide them into religions that appeal to pleasure, "the lusts of the flesh," and the religions that appeal to the pride of intellect. Take the ancient Saduceeism, the medieval Mohammedanism, and the present-day Mormouism. They are the flesh in religions. They cannot begin to tell upon mankind until passion shall develop In manhood and womanhood. Take the intellectual systems of Greece and the philosophies of the present day that appeal to the Intellect, and a man is almost half way upon the journey of life before they touch him. Take Christianity; where does it begin y With conception, with birth, infancy, childhood, youth, manhood, In health, in sickness, in death and the resurrection and the life eternal In the nrpcpnrp of the ereat White Tiirone. Christianity embraces the religion of life. Does It appeal simply to the body? No. But It appeals to the body, the intellect and the eoul. Remember the declaration of St John, "the disciple whom Jesus loved." He jsays: "The Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, as of the glory of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth." He embraced the whole of man. The Word was made flesh, but with that was Intellect and spirit, and so He was a complete and perfect man. This morning we were joined together hand In hand in the prayers offered by your rector, but when we come to the creed, how is It? The husband drops the hand of the wife, the father of the child, the friend of the friend, and each for himself, as In th? Day of Judgment, stands on his own feet and says, "I believe." It Is a personal act. "me i^oru is my shepherd; therefore can I'lack nothing." There Is one element of wealth on which we can rest, and which will enable us to say "We shall lack nothing." Without our Saviour we shall lack everything when we come to die. I care not who we are or whether we have been clad in the purple of kings or the splendor of jewels, we shall be stripped stark naked and go up naked into the presence of God. We shall lack nothing if we can say from the depths of our soul, "The Lord is my shepherd." Then when the end comes we shall be able to say: "Thy mercy and loving kindness?Thy mercy for forgiveness; Thy loving kindness for my needs?shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever." There is no dwelling place here. I was once a rector in Brooklyn, but where are my parishioners now? Most of them are gone. Within the last two months two of my classmates in Columbia are gone. And there are but few of those I knew In the lecture room left. There Is no dwelling place here. It is a cheat we put upon ourselves when we talk of houses as dwelling places. They are not. Qod grant, my brothers, that it may be our lot to "Dwell together forever in the house of the Lord," which will be our eternal home. The Power of Couiclenee. It is a strange and solemn power which cor.science wields. In your secret soul you commit a sin. It is a mere passing thought, perhaps. No hnmon ptb hna rppti It. no tnntrne will ever speak of it, yet even in the dark you blush at it You are degraded in your own eyes. You feel guilty and wretched. And this guilty -wretchedness does not pass away. It may at any time revive. Conscience comes to us in lonely hours. Wakens us in the night. It stands at the side of our beds and says, "Come, wake up and listen to me!" And there it holds us with its remorseful eye and buried sins rise out of the grave of the past. They march by in melancholy procession, and we lie in terror looking at them. Nobody knows but ourselves. Next morning we go forth to business with a smiling face, but conscience has had its revenge.? Itev. James Stalker. The Busy Watchmaker. A watchmaker who enlisted for the war thinking that he might earn a little when off duty, took some of his tools along with him. But he found so many watches to mend that he forgot he was a soldier. One day he was ordered into battle. He looked rbout him in consternation "and exclaimed: "Why, how can I go? I have ten watches to mend?" Many of our excuses and sometimes our reasons, which we try so hard to be conscientious about, If correctly translated, would read: "Why, how can I read my Bible and pray every day? How can I be true to my religious duties! I have something else to do." What We Can Do. God has not given us vast learning to 6olve all the problems, or unfailing wisdom to direct all the wanderings of our brothers' lives; but He has given to every one of us the power to be spiritual and by our spirituality to lift and enlarge and enlighten the lives we touch.?Phillips Brooks. Spiritual Life, A soft snap is Satan's trap. A failure to make a living is not a fitting .to preach the gospel of poverty. Some men win ieei cneHp ?ueu ujcj read tlieir own advertisements at the Judgment, Preaching dogmas is fighting the devil with the scabbard instead of with the sword. The modern idolator falls down before the work of his own imagination instead of that of his hands. The mighty God is a tireless God; He faintcth not, neither is weary. This is brave doctrine, then, that a tireless deity attends humanity amid all its struggles and hardships, and attends it to aid, to soothe, to cheer, to purify, to redeem, to save.?C. Silvester Home. I found something within me that would not be sweet and patient and kind. I did what I could to keep it down, but it was there. I besought Jesus to do something for me, and when I gave Him my will He came into my heart, and took out all that would not be patient, and then H? shut the door?George Jb'oi. There is a powerlessness of utterance in our blood that we should Gght against, and struggle onward towards expression. We can educate ourselves to it if we know and feel the necessity; we can make it a Christian duty, not only to love, but to be loving; not only to be true friends, but to show ourselves friendly. ? Harriet Beecher Stow* - ? "THE SUNDAY SCHOOL INTERNATIONAL LESSON COMMENTS FOR APRIL I. Etibjpct: The Two Foundation*. Matt, vli,, 13-29?GoMen Text, James S.? 22? Memory Ver?e?, 24-25?Topic: Counsels in Character Bmldlnc* I. The false and the true (vs. 15-20). Jesus has just been speaking of the narrow entrance into His kingdom #nd the broad way which leads do?rn to death; He now turns His attention to the false guides which lead men astray. 15. "Beware." Be on your guard; look out for. "False prophets." Who will deceive you and lead you into the broad way. "Sheep's clothing." A symbol of deceptive, wicked men putting ou the garb of piety. See 2 Cor. 11:13-15. "Inwardly," etc. Under their outer covering they hide hearts like wolves, and are ready to tear and destroy. 16. "Know them." Their real nature will soon appear, and their false doctrines will be detected. "Their fruits." The moral tendency of their lives and doctrines. 17, 18. "Good tree?corrupt tree." The comparison of men to trees frequently occurs in the Bible. ' 19. "Hewn down." To this day in the East trees are valued only so far as they produce fruit. "Cast into the fire." Fire is the symbol of utter'destruction. II. Mere profession not sufficient (vs. 21-33). 21. "Not every one." Christ is here laying down the trur. tost of nr?mitt!>r><"><i tho kfnn'rirnil of God. He lias just told them that they must enter in through a narrow gate and walk a narrow way, and now He intimates that many will seek to gain admittance on the ground of mere profession. "That saith?Lord, Lord." True religion is more than a profession. We may acknowledge the authority of Christ, believe in His divinity and accept His teachings as truth, and still without the love of God in the heart we shall be shut out of heaven. "Kingdom of heaven." God's spiritual kingdom where Christ reigns in the hearts and lives of men. 22. "Many." Not merely an occasional one, but the number will be astonishingly large. "In that day." The judgment day. The day when the final accounts shall be brought in, and when each shall receive his just desert. See Acts 17:31; Rom. 14:10; 2 Cor. 5:10. "Prophesied." As the whole gospel is a real prophecy, foretelling the vast future of the human race?death, judgment and eternity, so every preacher is a prophet. 23. "I never knew you." As My disciples. How sad! From this, we see how easy it is to be deceived. Many are trusting in the church, their good iwme, their generosity, their great gifts, their employment In the ministry. their self-sacrifice, their devotion to the cause, etc., etc., while at heart they are not rieht with God and at the last great day will be cast to the left hand. They are destitute of the love of God, wnich is the all-essential (1 Cor. 13:1-3). "Depart from Me." Such belong to the left hand?consigned to the regions of darkness and despair. III. The two builders (vs. 24-27. 24. "Therefore." Jesus now proceeds to Impress the truth by a very striking illustration. "Whosoever hearetb." See R. V. "Both classes of men hear the ' word. So far they are alike. In like manner the two houses have externally the same appearanpe, but the great day of trial shows the difference." "Doeth them." Thus making them the real foundation of his life. "Will liken him." St. Matthew who, living near the lake, had often witnessed such sudden floods as are described, uses vigorous language and draws the picture vividly. "A wise man." Prudent, far-sighted?a man of understanding who looks ahead and sees the danger and makes use of the best means of avoiding it. The wise builder is the one who hears and obeys the words of i Christ. "Built his house." His char, acter: himself. Each man possesses a house which is his absolutely, and for trhlr?h Iid qIaha 4c mcnnriciV*1a TTr>n?? I <*f uioi uv iiivu^ JO icopv/uiaiuiCi upuu I a rock." Our rock is Jesus Clirlst (Psa. 1 | 118:22; Isa. 28:1(5; 1 Cor. 3:11). He is I the sure foundation. As we centre i | our faith in Him, and build according . 1 to the maxims which He has laid i down we shall be safe. 25. "The raiu i ?beat." So tempests and storms of i afflictions, persecutions^ temptations and all sorts of trials beat against the ! soul. "It fell not." The religion o' Jesus Christ in the soul will stand every test. The emblem of a house to represent the religious life is very appropriate. 2U. "DoeMi them not." Fails to do , what he knows he ought to do; neglects them; or professes to do and do5s not. | "Foolish inau." He was short-sighted ! ! and allowed present pleasure, gratiti. cation and profit to so fill his life that J he failed to look beyond to the result J of his course. "The sand." The sand represents the self-life. 27. "It fell." So falls the sinner. The floods arc | wearing away his sandy foundation, and soon one tremendous storm shall [ beat upon him and he and his hopes ,.1-filial! forever fall. "Great was tht i fall." How great is the loss of th* soul! What a terrible fall for a soul created in the image of Cod, and witli all the glorious possibilities before it ot ? a life of bliss forever with Christ, ti ; be cast to the left hand at the last day. IV. The people astonished (vs. 28, 29). 28. "These ssivinsrs." The ser J nion just preached. ""Astonished." , The teachings ot' .Tesus nil through His , life excited admiration, wonder am1 amazement. -.J. "Having authority.' His power Ja.v in Himself (ind in His life. By His speaking with authoritj may be meant. 1. That the truth Hi spake came with authority. -J. Thai the majesty and power with which lit spake gave Him authority. "Not a.< the scribes." He did not speak like a i common interpreter, but with the aii of a prophet. Historic Oak For Cars.
