"Have you heard of the new hot ice cream?" asked the woman who seems to know of all the new things almost before they come into existence. "It sounds piquant," said her com panion, dryly. "Well, it is, and something more. It is served in one of the tea-and chatter rooms, where you go after a shopping tour to pile all bundles qn a couch and sit in a bow window aiid tell your companion all the things that you. always thought that you would never tell to any one. There are iron lanterns, instead of electric globes, and the maids wear linen frocks and don't slam things down be fore you." "And the hot ice cream?" "I'm coming to that. It is really a frozen pudding. It is made of vanilla Ice cream with boiled rice and ginger mixed with it and all frozen together. It hails from the Chinese quarter of San Francisco, and it tastes good and doesn't give one indigestion, as the cold-all-the-way-through ice cream is apt to.' "Do you know what it sounds like to me? Tfie Frenchman's description of the Irishman's whisky punch. He said it was called 'puncu,' but it ought to have been called a 'contradiction,' because he put in whisky to make it strong and water to make it weak, lemon to make it sour and sugar to make it sweet, and then he said, Here's to you!' and drank it himself!" -Montreal Herald. The Ranchwoman. The success of Mrs. W. N. Sherman and the beauty of her hospitable home, the famous Minnewawa ranch in Cali fornia, should be an incentive to every woman to hold fast to the home in stinct while winning her way in the business world. In the face of much opposition and caustic comment Mrs. Sherman, soon after leaving an east ern college, bought a large tract of un improved land near Fresno, deter mined by her own efforts to develop * its possibilities. Her success Is indicated by the fact that Minnewawa is valued at over five times the original investment. During the busiest season there are over 400 people at work on the ranch and in the cannery. Since discovering that by personal oversight of the packing her grapes brought from $100 to $500 more per carload than when left to the su pervision of others, Mrs. Sherman very sagely concluded that a woman can be a real helper, even though she leave the care of the household to some one else- Mrs. Sherman has not confined her efforts to raisin growing alone, but has a national reputation as a stock raiser and frrit grower.-Pil grim.

Works With Himself First. It Is a mistake to assume that phy sicians are always skeptical as to the curative properties of anything else than drugs. Indeed, the best doctors are those who seek to heal with as little use of drugs as possible, and by the use of g correct food and drink. A physician writes from Calif. to tell how he made a well man of himself with nature's remedy,: "Before I came from Europe. where I was born." he says. "it was my cus tom 'to take coffee with milk (cafe au lait) with my morning meal, a small cup (cafe noir) after my dinner and two yr three additional small cups at my club during the evening. "In time nervous symptoms devel oped, with pains in the cardiac region. and accompanied :-y great depression of spirits. despondenc.y -in brief, 'the blues!' I at first tried medicines, but got no -relief, and at last realized that all my troubles were caused by coffee. I thereupon quit its use forthwith, sub stituting English Breakfast Tea. "The tea seemed to help me at first. but in timo the old distressing symp toms returned, and I quit it also, and tried to use milk for my table bever age. This I was comnolled. however, to abandon se'edily, for whie it re lieved the nervousne..s somewhat it brought on constipation. Then by a happy inspiration I was led to try the Postum Food Coffee. This was some months ago, and I still use it I am no longer nervous, nor do i suffer from the pains about the heart. while my 'blues' have left me and life is brigzht to me once more. I know that leaving off coffee and using Postum healed me. and I make it a rule to advise my pa tients to use it." Name given by Pos tum Co.. Battle Creek, Mich. XThere's a reason.

D.. preached in Holy Trin ity Churek Sunday irning to the ,on -geations of Holy Trinity and St 'A T's. Dr. Currie's subject 'was "Growth." and he selected for his text IL. Corinthians. v:4: "Not for that we -would he unclothed. b.t clothed upon. He" said: These words of the epistle express r the important principle that wherever there is vitality life not only adds to i it-elf continually, but at the same time never throws away. never entirely loses t the essential elements that it has once succeeded in acquiring. That is to say.1 that all the time that life is putting on5 raiment. as it were, or being "clothed t upon"-say. in the flowers. or bush or insect or man,. for That part-all that time it keeps the esse?tils of whatso ever it has invested itself with. And iz is never perfecrtly unelothed of its fundamental gains: --not unclIthed but clothed upon." Thes- princip'es hold good in relation to li.e of every kind and under all conditions. It is one of the great 1:eys of nature that have been furnished to us. and its univer- t sality springs from the fact that the universe is fundamentally similar in all its parts. I mean to say that the universe is constituted in such a man ner that the different plans of being, the physical, the intellectual, the moral. the spiritual, all correspond to one an other. So that whatsoever is true in one is true in all of them. Mankind. in fact, has aji instinct to that effect. Our ordinary words that we me in talking, for instance, for physical things are mostly the same as those used for intellectual or spiritual things. The word. "right" means straight, and "straight" is constantly used by us in a moral sense; the word "wrong" means twisted or corrupt, and "cor rupt" often means dishonest. The things that are seen are, that is to say, divinely created pictures of the things that are not seen; and it is a great satisfaction that we can have a trust worthy picture of spiritual things that we can see. Our blessed Lord talked in parables. not because parables are simple. but because the truths ex pressed by parables (as the loaf of bread or the raiment or the water from the well, or the sparrow having his food prerstred for him. or the lily get ting its raiment without worrying about it) are not merely physica: truths-you must not fall into that blunder-they are truths that reach all the way up tarough all the plans to the eternal kingdom. Our Lord talked in that way because He saw the whole of the plan. from the top to the bot ton. and Ie talked in no other way to the people at large: "without a par able snake He not unto them." The plans. intellectual. moral and spiritual. are reuresented in the physical, and all of them are fundame'atally alike. That is why He talked in parables. Now come back to the general prin ciple before us. "not unclothed. but clothed upon." and let us see to it that we have the physical and material idea distintly in our heads. Here, for in stance, is the stump of a tree with the different rings of wood of which it is composed. Year by year the tree has put gn nw growth, .5he ouc)e n the successive rings. But all thle time thait it has beer. putting on the new rings it has never c'ompletely let go of the'6kT 6nei, and tile first ring of all is right in the centre all the time. Let me give' the little folk a simple il lustration. that they may take it away with them. Children, you turn an ap ple on its side. Cut it down in the cen tre through and through. Then you have two halves, have you not? Well, cut off from either half a slice. v-cry thin, the thinner you cut it the better. Then hold the slice up to the light. Now, what do you see? You see in the centre, distinctly, the dark outline of the original blossom that w.as on the apple tree in the springtime. Nov;. take some examples of this principle. There is the Bible, for in stance. It is a living book. I mean by that it was not flung down from the sky. like a meteorite. so as to land :ike1 Joseph Smith's Bible somewher ni a valley all made up and ready. It did not come that way: but it grew in he w.orldl like an oak or pine tree: and, ac cording to w.hat the Saviour says about the Holy Ghost continually teaching in the word inI successiveC ages. the Bible. which is God's truth or the vword of God, is, in a manner. still growing. Do you know that? It is coming out in parts. It is life from beginning to end. It unfolds. not a single period of man's history only. but successive stages in the growth of the human mind. There' fore it contains, like a tree, successive rings, as it were, greatly contrasted one with another, widely differing one from another. In one ring. so to speak, it is "an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth." Literally. exact justice. In another ring It is. "If a man strike thee< on the one cheek turn to him the other] also." In the one ri:.g, vengeance: in 1 the other, no vengeance. The Bible, as< I said, thus unfolt.s to us successiv.e ( ages in the spiritual growth of man. some of its stages. or rings, such as polygamy, we have left behind us longi ago; some we have not yet reaebed.] The Sermon on the Miount cspech'illy stretches out and away to the futurei perfection of the race. w.hen a nation like Russia wiil be an impossiility.I At the present time'. vou know, all na tions take brute animals for their rep resentative coat of arms. because th:eyi all have the brute in them.

So fair as the Bible is oncerned the principle is true, "not nelothed, but clothed upon':" You cannot make anything grow that as not roots. It is curious, but you annot. Whatsoever it is sooner or iter it will wither. In order to grow it as got to grow out of something. Ideas re precisely like plants. As I told you. 11 the plants of the universe are alike; rowing things are all alike, whether leas or anything else. It is of abso ate necessity that they shall have oots. Thus, for example, los e. joy, eace, gentleness, goodness, truth are leas. Nobody can complain of them, ut of what conceivable use would it he o stand on a pillar and call out to I aankind, "Be loving, be joyous. be eaceful. be gentle and good and true." " you had nothing inure to say to then an that?

I do not like that vord. but we will use it now. Now, as opposed to both of these peo le, those who give the world no new ruth and those who give the world tothing but new truth. The Christian hurch at large represents the latest ruths, as well as the first truths, and he first as well a's the last. There is io fault to find with these new doc rines. Of course not.

Les.son I. Topic: God's protection of His people. Place: Jerusalem and the Assyrian camp. Hezekiah was King of Judah and Sennacherib of Assyria. At this time Assyria was a great and powerful country, and at the height of its power. It was a mighty nation of warriors. Nothing could stand before the Assyrian host. They swept over the country leaving desolation and death behind them. Their king sent abusive letters to lezekiah to affright him. Hezekiah and the prophet Isaiah prayed and God destroyed their ene .uies. II. Topic: Study of an Old Testa ment prayer. Place: Jerusalem. Great suffering and sickness came upon Hez ekh~. King of Judah. The prop;het Isaiah saw that death was the inevit able result of such sickness only as God interposed. Then it was that llczekiah askcd for n',lded years, and received prcmise of fifteen years Inore. III. Topie: The suffering, atoning Saviour. Place: Jerusalem. the pro phet Isaiah's home. This is the deep est and loftiest of the Old Testament prophecies, and points i'learly and defi nitely to the atonement. The life and mission of Christ is related in few words embracing humiliation, suffer ing. atonement and exaltation. The main thought is that the Servant is to be the instrument in establishing the true :eligion, by removing the burden of guilt and bringing many to right eousraess. IV. Topic: The gospel's gracious call. Place: Jerusalem. Regardless of the mean opinions of men and their lack of faith in the Saviour a magnificent kingdom was founded, and to it invita tion and joyous welcome is extended. Jehovah's thoughts transcend those of man as much as the heaven is higher than the earth. The thoughts and ways of Jehovah are His purposes of redemption. V. Topic: Chapters in a sinful life. Place: The kingdom of Judah, particu larly the capital. Jerusalem. The faith ful Hezekiah closed his life. lear Ing his son Manasseh to reign in Judah. By him the good work of reform was worse than undone: the people went into the lowest depths of wickedness. In his mature years Manasseh was Inade to.feel the rod of afiictiou which led him to repentance. Then he sought to repair some of the evils. VI. Topic: Vital factors in a success ful life. Place: Jerusalem and Judah. Manasseh's effort to reform his king dom did not produce much fruit. His son Amon disregarded this effort on the part of his father, and led people on in idolatry for two years, when he was slain by his servants in his own house. Then his youthful son Josiah came to the throne. He made earnest work of destroying idol worship and of repairing the house of the Lord. VII. Topic: Purpose and mission of the Bible. Place: Jerusalem. With the neglect of the temple the people had been without the book of the law. In repairing the temple this book wa's found and brought before the king. He was greatly moved because of the fearful disobedience of the people, and the awful curse of God which was pronounced upon the very sins Judab. had committed. .He at one. sought to know what the Lord would say unto thm. The promise' to him was that th e<urse should not com.e upon the people during his life. VIII. Topic: Trying to destroy God's word. Place: Jerusalem. At the death of Josiah his son, Jehoahaz reigned three months in Judah. He was taken by Necho to Egypt, and his brother Jeh~iakim was made king. He reigned eleven years and did evil in the sight of the Lord. In the fourth year of his reign he burned the Book of the Law. The Lord directed the prophet JTere miah to write another. In this were more warnings to the people. The king was slain, his kingdom destroyed and~ his son carried in chains into Babylon. IX. Topic: Persecution of the right eous. Place: Jerusalem. The kingdom of Judah was fast hastening to its end. The judgments of God were about to fall upon the people. Jere miah, the prophet, was almost alone i standing for the right, and his life was in constant danger. His was a mission requiring courage, faith, strength, will. X. Topic: Decline and fall of the kingdom. Place: Jerusalem. Zedekiah was the twentieth and last King of Judab. He took no warnings from the judgments of God which had fallen upon the people before his reign. He despised the warnings of the prophet Jeremiah, and mocked the messengers of God. Then the city was taken by the Babylonians. The house of God was burned, the wall about the city broken down. the palaces were burned and the vessels from the temple were carried to Babylon. The sons of Zede kiahl were slain before his eyes, and then his own eyes were put out, and he was carried captive to Babylon. XI. Topic: Vision of the glorious gospel. Place: Babylon. Ezekiel was among the captives carried to Babylon in the second siege against Jerusalem. But God gave him visions of the fu ture and how He would bless His peo ple. Ezekiel prophesied for twenty two years. His prophecies were a great encouragement. XII. Tonic: The study of a godly young man. Place: Babylon. Here we learn of the beginning of the enp tivity of Judah. Babylon was at this timein the zenith of its power, ruling all Western Asia and extending its au thority to the river of Egypt. Daniel was among the captives of the Iirst siege against Jerusalem. He was thea about twelve years old. He lived through the seventy years of captivity.

Illustrations. The Christian women among the Sioux Indians give to missipns more :han one dollar each every year. In New York recently they sold a fine church building in the upper part of the city because there were too many foreigners in the neighborhood. Then they sent the money to the board of foreign missions. Love of God and love of country are the two noblest passions in a human heart: and these two unite in home missions. A man without a country is an exile in the world. and a man without God is an orphan in eternity. -Henry Van Dyke. D. D. Pulling Together. The heart of the interdenomination al Christian Endeavor Society is its union work, and every Endeavorer should contribute some thought and energy to his local union. See that committee conferences are organized--meetings of those that are engaged in the same line of work missionary work, for example, that they may exchange methods. and re ceive instruction from specialists. SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 24. Home Mission in Mountain and Plain. Matt. 9: 35-38; Luke 9: 1-6. Jesus went to his own people with his gospel, and sent out first his dis ciples to their neighbors and country men. This was eminently wise and practicable. There is an element in home missions that appeals to every Christian. We have no sympathy with that sentimental talk ab'out home mis sions that has no real 'interest in any mission work. Some people excuse themselves from all missionary work on the plea that we have "heathen at home." But aside from all this there is a special claim on us to consider the spiritual needs and wants of our neighbors and our own nation. The Home Mission field is the United States in all its length and breadth. What the Jews were to Jesus, and what their countrymen were to the first disciples, so the 'inhabitants of America are to us. We must save America in order to save the world. The field is wide and difficult, but hopeful and inspiring. We have gath ered in our home field the cosmopoli tan races of the world. We have in our home missions the nucleus of mis sions to all nations of the eaifth. Methodist home missions may be roughly divided into two classes, the English-speaking and the non-English speaking. The English-speaking em brace all the work in our Annual Con ferences which receive help as well as the mission work of the great North west. The non-English-speaking in clude the fourteen different nationali ties to which we send missionaries in our own land. They are the Welsh, Swedish. Norwegian, Danish, German, French. Spanish, Chinese, Japenese, Bohemian, Italian, Portuguese, Filnn ish and American Indians. Besides the hundreds of ministers helped by the Missionary Society in Annual Con ferences, we have about 350 mission aries preaching to 25,000 members, with between 450 and '500 churches and Sunday schools in this field. About one-half-forty-five per cent. of all our collections for missions go to this home field. Many of the peo ple converted in these home mission fields go back to their native land bearing the seed of a new and better faith. Thus the home work is a valuable feeder, and sometimes the founder, of foreign missions. Nearly all of our self-supportinlg work in the West and Northwest was formerly home mission territory. Methodist home missions have played an Import ant part in the development of the naton.-________ A Maid of Honor Tn Fact. The late Lady Bloomneld was a maid of honor and published a book of reminiscences relating some very intimate incidents of her years at court. The result, the London corre spndent of the Manchester Guardian tells, was that the queen forbade her ladies to keep dairies while they were in waiting, and from that rule grew one of the neatest repartees that the heart of the piuresional diarist could desire. A young lady who had just been appointed a maid of honoi- was receiving congratulations at a party, and her host said: "'What an inter esting journal you can keep!"
