; sonuay a iv/- a i f selrmon, syyuLE; ^ Theme: Jesas CI ' Brooklyn, N. Y.?Preaching at the Irving Square Presbyterian Church on the theme, "Jesus Christ; an Estimate," the Rev. Ira Wemmell Henderson, pastor, took as his text St. 'John 1:14: "And the Word was : made flesh and dwelt among us." He said: The history of many lands and of many people through two thousand years is the record of the influence and the inspiration of Jesus Christ. {Upon the story of the world none has made a deeper impress, none has marked a richer fame. Born in a manger, His early acts almost un known, a mere pittance of His royai wealth of mind aDd divinity of soul preserved to us to this day?and that pittance a storehouse of wisdom and eternal life?the character and the claims of Christ stand forth pre-eminent and predominant before the .world. Through every epoch and in every age the might and majesty of His life have been a force for uplift among nations, and a factor for righteousness in individual lives. Listening to the admonitions of the Saviour, rulers have learned the way to *eign. Attending to the advice of * the Master, many a sin-seared soul has entered into Heaven's haven and found safety in a sure salvation. Laying His hand uponwomanhood, Christ has bid her rise. Speaking to the hearts of men, He has counseled justice, and has bid mankind be fair. To the statesman, to the craftsman, to the captains of industry and to the tillers of the soil, the words and the works and the life of Christ have been the measure of true manhood i and the guarantee of His divinity. Sent of Almighty God to. be the Saviour of human kind, Jesus has taught every mortal how to live. Preaching no gospel of minutiae, our Lord has given unto us a rule of faith and practice that must revolutionize the world. Born into a world of caste, class and prejudice of birth, Christ taught the value and nobility of each and every soul. Finding pride to be more of account than purity, He demanded cleanliness of heart. Finding hypocrisy to be far more prevalent than high-mindedness, He asserted the necessity for sanctity of soul, r Trusting in the assurance of divine guidance, and feeling the impulses of divine love, the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost. With sublime confidence in the inA# + Vi/-* on/1 fhof friifh ! .VlUUlUlllbJ VSJL bUC UUU vuuk vt uvtt mast win, the Christ assailed and arraigned, with fearless fervor, all the host of spiritual wicked ones who prostituted to their own ends the holy places and the hallowed purposes of the Most High. Filled with sympathy for all the army of the earth's oppressed, He spread a loving arm about them all, and bade them take courage and have peacs and cheer. Knowing the beauty and the blessedness of holiness, and seeing the hideousness of sin, our Lord yearned that men should experience and know the joy and glory of the Father's favor. First and foremost in the world of human action, Jesus Christ stands today, yesterday and forever as. the Saviour of mankind. The incarnation and the revelation of the Father, He hoc nroonhoH unH nraptirpri that Tin **UU bility of life that awakens within the human heart the recognition of His divine authority. Hearing His words of love and of light, and seeing His blameless life of beauty and of grace, men have recognized in Him that word from Heaven which shall sanctify and save the world. Experienc, lng the inability of wisdom to rer_ veal Jehovah in His fullness, and longing tor that preachment from on high which shall point the way to salvation and the perfect knowledge of our God, men have ever since the days of Christ known in Him that power and ability which can save. "Words are good only when backed up by deeds." Christ proclaimed His l saving mission and His cleansing f grace, and lived a life of love. "Actions speak louder than words." Declaring His integrity with God, the Lord &f Life revealed, in outward act, an inner and diviner grace. Urging the need for purity, He was pure; stating the nobility of righteousness, He was just; standing firm for holiness and for sanctity of life, He never strayed from God; a counselor of loveliness. He was natient and kind and true; persuading men to godliness, and dissuading human souls from sin, the Christ ever exemplified in His own career that godly and sinless life that His promises inspire. Christ as the Saviour is supreme. Of imitators He has many, and of equals none. To be the saviour of this world from sin, a man must have within his soul the fullness of divin" ity and of Godhood. To be accepted by mankind as the revelation of the father and the healer of the race, a man must show forth in act the hidden, inner power. The Christ rings Ftrue. The melodies of Heaven peal , - through His words. He speaks, and 2n! we hear eternal truth. He acts, and the very manner is divine. We . \ listen and we see. Our hearts respond. We take Him at His word, and prove His power. We trust His onH wo imitate WiQ 1 i f O S Christian experience sustains Him. > He is indeed a Saviour. He i? in truth the way and the life. 1 v Revelation is information. To reveal is to disclose. To inform is to disclose facts which were before unj known to those who may give ear. f Disclosure is an uncovering. Christ the Revealer has disclosed to man what is the character of God, not only by the words He spoke, but also by the life He lived. He has taken the veil away and informed us of the fullness of the glory of Jehovah. He has revealed to us not only what God Is, but also what man should be. Christ has revealed to us the loving Father of each of us in our God. The Fatherhood is individual and not alone racial. Sonship is no mere matter of nationality, but is rather f\ the victory of personality. Salvation at bottom is not political, but personal; not social, but individual. Through the individual recognition of the obligation of sonsliip is national salvation assured. The agreement of sanctified personalities to ? serve God, and that well, is the basis and the beginning of social deliverance from the bondage of sin. God I is the Father of Israelites first, and through them of Israel. His love is the heritage of every heart and not alone the portion of the priests.

The power of Jesus Christ in the world to-day is due to the fact that, M&P/T?1 ^M| BY THE: REV-^f RA W- ME:NDER.S'ci% "HE PAMOOS.DIVirsn.. tirist; an Estimate. in His capacity of Revealer and Sav? ions, He measured true to divine demands. Truth triumphs. Sincerity eounts. To straddle is unsafe. In spiritual power is the greatest strength. The straight way is the safe way. Principle is potent to gain respect. Sham and shoddy are soon discovered. Christ claimed divinity, and He lived a godly life. He insisted that His was the way unto life eternal, and we know He spoke the truth. Investigation of His liXe finds His action and sneech in harmony. The measure of l*iis conduct by His uttered ideals can find no flaw. He is as He claims to be. and His glory is as the glory of the Father. The Christ was a stalwart man. As the Anglo-Saxons had it, He was a man who was "foundation-worthy." Fixed firm and constant the Christ was never guilty of deflection from the strict, straight path of loyal duty. Full worthy was our Lord to be the founder of a spiritual and moral renaissance that will overcome the world. Built strong and firm and true was He, upon whom the hopes of humanity are fixed. The Christ was a man of courage. He was a man of heart. Courage is heartiness. To be hearty is to be full of heart. He did not shrink from danger. Without a sign of fear or fright, our Lord defied the very prince of the powers of darkness. Gallantly, bravely, nobly He cleansed His Father's house. How mightily He inveighed against the powers of Palestine we may all attest. The Christ was not weak hearted. Having a work to do He did it with a will. Conscious of the odds against Him, He had no fear. Out in the open, despised, forsaken even by His friends, trusting only in the power of the truth, He battled ever on for human liberty. Bearing upon His broken body the sins of an evil world, He was yet courageous; He had always heart. The Christ was sound to the core. The Christ was a man of determination. He was a man of resolution. Having determined His sphere and His call in life, He was resolved to fill it. To be determined is to be ready to go to all lengths?that is to say, to see the thing through to the finish. The Christ was true to His resolves, even unto an ignominious end. Having marked a clear line of duty, He walked without swerving. Hearing the call of the dying world. He saw and conquered Calvary. The Christ was a sturdy man. He had power of resistance, ar.d He could not less well force the fight. .tsorn wun auupamy iu evii, nc owvu against sin firmly. Seeing the inhumanity of mankind to man, He forced the issue, and He flayed, with burning words, the evil of His day. Strong as the oak He stood against the storm. Keen as the tempered blade He smote His adversaries. Were they wary He was more. Were they subtle He was shrewder. Did they lay a snare, He did but tangle all of them in the meshes of their selected net. When they were most cautious than did the Christ confound them. They smote Him and He did not flee. They showed him Caesar's image, but He was not caught. They predicated marriage in the heavenly country and He pointed their mistake. They asked a sign and got not one. But sturdy and stalwart and strong of purpose and of will, as the Master was, He was yet the soul of sympathy. Hating iniquity and scoring evil, He had yet a healing hand for meu. Disdaining sin, His heart held pity for the sinner. Crucified by wickedness, He could yet pray mercy for His persecutors* His was the sympathy that cured. His was the tenderness that touched. Filled with divine compassion, He knew the sufferings of human souls, and He preferred healing and a rich release. "Men, like nails, lose their usefulness when they lose their direction and begin to bend," runs a piece of sterling arisdom. The Saviour had His bearings, and He kept the goa! in sight. For Him tbe straight way was the surest, and He walked the middle of the path of duty. The ofTer of a whole world's wealth could not swerve Him from His course. "Get thee behind ??[e, devil." was the motto of His life as He dealt with sin. His fidelity should be the fashion of our faith. His directness should insure our zeal. His sympathy should sustain our love toward men and for God. His stalwart energy and sturdiness of soul should be our pattern. Our lives should radiate His light. Our spirits should suffuse His love. What Titian and Corot and Turner did for art; what Each and Beethoven and Mendelssohn did for music: what Tennyson and all the lyric host have done for the conservation and the culture of the minds of men, that, and infinitely more, can Jesus do toward the saving of a soul. Sturdy and stalwart and strong He stands to-day the Saviour of the race, the incarnation of the Word. His actions are an open book, and he who runs may read. His words are mighty unto fife that is eternal, and he who hears and heeds may live. The imitation of His character is the calling of the Christian. The re-presenting of His strength, His power, purity and love, is the sign of Christly grace. Have you much or none? An Awful Awakening. In a town of Switzerland a few years ago some workingmen going early to "work, walking along the street, saw a white figure on top of a high house. What is it? A larly in lier night dress, and she was sitting, loolc'ng down, quite happy, smiling in perfect security. She was a somnambulist. She had risen in her sleep without any one knowing it, and had taken her station, and was pleasantly looking about, and no doubt dreaming?dreaming pleasant dreams. Well, they did not know what they could do to save her from her peril. Just as they were talking together the sun rose. A bright beam of sun fell upon her eyes; she saw where she was; gazed one moment around and then fell headlong?killed on the snot. Tt was an awful awakeninsr. Fellow-sinner, if you are out of Christ, and the day of His coming overtakes you?oh, what if the first beam of that bright day be the first moment of your awakening, and it is too late!?Banor. The Point of View. A man gets little nourishment out of the word when he reads it only to find shot for saints \ New York City.?The pretty an< attractive blouse waist that is simpl< at the same time makes one of th< most necessary elements in any worn an's wardrobe. It is a bit mor< dressy than the severe tailored shir waist, yet is not quite so dainty a: the one in lingerie style, made eithei of lawn or fine silk, and is altogethei useful as well as thoroughly attractive. This one can be worn with skirt to match or as a separate waist suiting both purposes equally well and is available for almost all seasonable waistings, wool and silk anc even the mercerized ones that so many women like to wear through out the entire season. It can be either lined or unlined and made with three-quarter or full length sleeves. In the illustration louisine is stitched with belding silk and combined with tucked taffeta and trimmed with a tiny edge of velvet and little velvet buttons, but the vest and the collar and the trimming on the cuffs can be of any contrasting material that may be liked. If a more dressy effect is desired chiffon or one of the pretty lingerie effects can be used, while if washable material is chosen for the waist these can be of all-over embroidery or some material of the sort. The waist is made with the fitting lining, which can be used or omitted as preferred, and which is closed at the centre front, and consists of the fronts, the centre front and the back. The fronts are arranged in a box pleat at each edge and in rather wide tucks at the shoulders, which are 6titched to yoke depth, while the back is tucked on tapering lines. The trimming portions are joined to the centre front, which in turn is joined to the waist, and the closing is made invisibly beneath- the box pleat at the edge of the left side. The sleeves are moderately full ones finished with prettily shaped cuffs, whether they are used in three-quarter or full length. The quantity of material Required for the medium size is three and a half yards twenty-one, three and a quarter yards twenty-seven, or one and seven-eighth yards forty-four inches wide, with seven-eighth yard eighteen inches wide for the centre front and collar, one and an eighth yards if long sleeves are used. Pale-Hued Shoes. Among the most noticeable whims of fashion recently has been the en tire relegation into the background of everything black; the numerous new colors are so lovely that they have for the time quite extinguished our old favorite. This now applies to our shoes and stockings even as much as to our frocks, and they are dyed all manner of beautiful colors to match or blend with the gowns they are worn with. Judiciously indulged in this latest idea is an unquestionable success, and curiously enough is seen to the greatest advantage at the two extremes of our attire?in the evening or with the clothes one wears during a country X71 CM + i yt '' 11% , v t ?] 1 Velvet Undersleeves. 0 5 Undersleeves (to mako the fashion- h 2 able three-quarter length sleeves com- ?

This one is closed t; invisibly at the front and allows of trimming after a most effective man- * ner. In the illustration the material i is a pretty plaid, while the trimming is velvet matching one of the darker t colors and the chemisette is of all- t over lace. But chemisettes of lin- p gerie material are always pretty, and are equally in vogue, while trimming can be silk or any contrasting material that may be liked or, indeed, the a same material trimmed with a little j braid or velvet ribbon. The pointed j trimming straps on the front are dec- 3 urauve auu quite simpie, yet are uvi ^ obligatory, for a plainer waist can be . made by omitting them. The.collar a finishes the neck, and whether the [ sleeves are made with deep cuffs or f terminate at the elbows, the full por- t tions are completed by pointed bands, j. The waist is made with a fitted lin- . ing that is closed at the front and 1 consists of fronts^and back. The back I is laid in pleats for its entire length i that give tapering lines to the figure, 1 , but which are stitched to yoke depth. j , The chemisette is separate and closed , at the back, while the waist is closed * I invisibly beneath the tucks at the i front edges. The sleeves are prettily _ j t full, laid in tucks at their lowtr a edges, and when full length is used ^ the linings are faced to form the deep b cuffs, but if the lining is omitted the b cuffs are joined to the lower edge. a The quantity of material required E for the medium size is three and a tnree-quarter yaras twenty-one, tnree 1 p and thre .-eighth yards twenty-seven, ^ or one and seven-eighth yards fortyfour inches wide, with five-eighth n yard of all-over lace for the chemi- j, sette and five-eighth yard twenty v inches for the collar and trimming. c Sashes on Gowns. v Soft silk sashes with embroidered ' scalloped edges are seen upon some * of the sheer French gowns.

The London Spectator recently said hat until it took Great Britain neary three years and the whole power if the emipre to subdue the Boers, Jnglishmen could never quite undertand why it took so many years and o many men for the North to con luer the South, but that now they inderstand. The New York Tribune lints that we may also have showed he way for a settlement of the Britsh-Boer status which is agitating the ountry now. It says: "The great question now agitating England, that of the status of Boer nd Briton in the Transvaal, is, of ourse, one for Great Britain to setle. If a striking precedent is wanted auch might be learned from the imerican policy of magnanimlfy rhich, after some serious mistakes in he reconstruction period, has at last bliterated sectional lines between forth and South and resulted in a appily reunited people." The Old Law. Under the old English law a peronal chattel which had caused the eath of a person was declared a deodand," or forfeited to God. The rown took charge of it and it was old, the proceeds to be distributed y the high almoner in pious uses. 'hus a cart which had run over ana iNed a man was "deodand;" so was , horse which kicked its master to eath. All things> animate and innimate, which caused the death of human being were forfeited as deodands." English is Good Enough. The English language is pretty yell liked, and to some extent serviceble, as it is?as Shakespeare mispelled it, and Milton versed it, and ope and Swift and Addison and Soldsmith refined it, and, in fact, as ,11 our long line of literary geniuses iave philosophized and sermonized nd romanced and word-painted in it. inr? fho TTintrHchmpn unfamiliar or >ut slightly familiar with any save lis native tongue, may well wonder, ,s he contemplates the great body of Jnglish literature, whether there is .nother so strong and at the same ime so flexible.
