IUU II0II.IU i,AUuti.ai| New York City.?Broad shouldered effects are among tte most notable j features of the Reason's styles and are never more attractive than when proI duced by means of the drop yoke and ; attached bertha cut on graceful lines, j The very stylish May Manton waist ! illustrated combines these features ! with entirely novel sleeves, that can j be made with the puff under-sleeves r Ac ! or without as may Lie mcicucu. J ;' PAircr waist. illustrated the warst is made of white batiste, with yoke and trimmings of antique lace, but the design suits all , the cotton and linen fabrics of the season as well as soft wools and silks. The waist is made o\;er a fitted foundation, that can be cut away at yoke depth when a transparent effect is desired, and on'it are arranged the full portions of the waist. The yoke drops over the sleeves and to its edges the circular bertha is joined. The sleeves consist of the tucktd upper ones ana rue iuji puucu uuunvivtu.. which are attached invisibly at elbow length. The quantity of material required for .the medium size is four and threequarter yards twenty-one inches wide, four yards twenty-seven inches wide, four yards thirty-two inches wide or two and three-quarter yards forty-four inches wide, with a half yard of yoking material eighteen inches wide. Woman's Shirred WaUt. Soft materials shirred make one of the most attractive features of the SHIRRED WAIST BECUJll.Mi season's styles and are exceedingly becoming to slender figures. The" very stylish waist illustrated in the largt drawing shows them used after a novel fashion and can be made with a low round neck, or high neck finished with stock collar as may be preferred. The model is made' of cream-colored silk mull and is trimmed with lace at the edges of the sleeves, but very soft and pliable material is appropriate. I The waist consists of a fitted lining on which the shirred portions are arranged. The waist proper is shirred to yoke depth, then falls in soft'full I folds to the belt. The sleeves are shirred from shoulders to elbows and are arranged over a lining which serves to keep the shirrings in place. J but fall in drooping frills below that point. The quantity of material required I for the medium size is five and a half ! yards twenty-one inches wide, four ' yards twenty-seven inches wide, three | and a half yards thirty-two inches wide or two yards forty-four inches j wide. Popularity of Shirring. The popularity of shirring amounts to a fad.. It is used on coats and peler[ ines to as great an extent as 011 gowns. I Shirred strapping, says j.uiieues, jj? I the latest forxn the craze has taken. | straight pieces of the material of the j gown, with edges turned under, are gliirred in three or four rows over soft I cord to cover the seams of gored skirts. Everything shirred 01 gatlitred into rulfles or ruehings is in high vogue, even the lace edgings on the borders of handkerchiefs, ties, transparent stocks and various articles of lingerie I is invariably gathered quite full in the sewing on. Walking Suite of Silk. -Shepherd's plaid in black or blue J Willi WUlie, UliU 1U IVUWIUC VI luurm 10 i granile mode for short morning suits in shirt-waist style. Shot taffetas are i still modish for the purpose, and the gun-metal effects are quite as popular as they were last year. Satin foulards are no longer ultra-fashionable, but have much to recommend them for summer morning and shopping suits, and for traveling as well. They slied the dust and arc decidedly cooler than # Moraeisisit any other fabric except sheer cotton ur jjucu. Colored Stitching. Black stitching on -white and white on black have been familiar to us long enough, but now the idea extends to stitchings in bright contrasting or shaded effects on materials of dark or neutral tone, and also in silks of different colors to form a plaid. Shirtwaist suits of dark blue are stitched with bright red, orange or green. Another development of the ombre idea is in frocks of 'white linen or lawn with ruffles feather-stitched with three or four shades of a color in as many different rows. Shawl Points on Ribbon. Usually the black taffeta liair ribbons used by school girls are clipped "with deep swallow-tail indentations. The exact reverse of this cut is seen in the new fashion of clipping the ends of ribbon used in rosettes or crown bands or simple bows and loops in millinery. The deep, sharp and narrowly pointed centre of the middle ribbon is shaped as a "shawl point." You can scarcely help noticing them on the new straw walking hats. It is particularly striking where two shades of ribbon are used, and the "shawl points" are spaced like shingles on a roof. Elbow Sleeves. For summer gowns of sheer cotton stuffs and also for thin shirt-waists of the elaborate kind elbow sleeves will be much worn. They are generally finished with frills and much fluffiness brought about by narrow, gathered lace ruffles or ruches on their edges. The upper part follows the skirt idea and is shirred, tucked, pleated or flounced to accord with it. Wraps For the summer. Three-quarter and full-length wraps of black silk In loose styles will be worn through the summer, to cover up light gowns. Long loose wraps of r-ngee, both lined and unlined, are fashionable. These will be used for dust coats and for traveling generally. Irish Crochfet Lace. Irish crochet lace has a silk braid woven in with the lace, which is a, novelty at feast. It would seem, however, that lace in Itself Is handsome enough without the addition of much trimming. A Wreck Every Day. There are more wrecks in the Baltic Sea than in any other place in the world. The average is one wreck a day throughout the year. TO SLENDER FIGURES. Woman's Bloase. Broad collars are becoming to the greater number of womankind and are exceedingly effective on the dainty blouses now in vogue. The very pretty May Manton waist illustrated shows one of a novel sort and is made of pale blue louisine silk with trimming of ecru lace. Tlie design, nowever, sums tliiu cotton and linen fabrics as well us those of silk and wool. The original is mado over the fitted lining, but this last can be omitted when washable fabrics are used. The blouse is made with a ftted foundation and consists of a plain back, aiid fronts that are tucked at their upper portions and joined to a round yoke. This big collar lies flat and is cut in wedge-shaped piecer at its inuer edge, the points of which are attached to the shield and under which the ribbon is passed. The shield and stock are separate and are attached to the waist beneath the collar. When desired they can be omitted and the waist worn with an open neck. The sleeves are tucked above the elbows and form the fashionable puffs at the wrists, where they are gathered into pointed cuffs. The quantity of material required for the medium size is four and threequarter yards twenty-one inches wide, four yards twenty-seven inches wide, woman's blouse. four yards thirty-tivo inches wide or two yards forty-four inches wide, with three-quarter yards of tucking for shield, collar and" cuffs. . ' * ' * ' / ' ! A SERMON FOR SUNDAY A BRILLIANT DISCOURSE BY THE REV j DAVID JAMES BL'RRELL. D. D.. LL.D. Subject: The Wireles* Me*?ajre* of find? A Alan Who Would Clear the Word Through the Scrjptur?:? Mutt Divest Hlumeif of Prejudice. New Yoke City.?'The Wireless Meseages of God" -was the subject of the sermon preached by the Rev. David Jaine* Burrell, D. D., LL.D., in the Marble Collegiate Church, Sunday. He took his text from I Corinthians ii: 14: "The natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness unto him; neither can he know them, because they I are spiritually discerned." Dr. Burrell said: I A great principle is here laid down which governs in the universal realm of truth, ' to wit, the principle of mutual adjustment. T? Q fiirtiTtrr fnrL- ic IrevpH i to middle C it will awaken a response in I another if keyed to the same pitch, but not J otherwise. This is the basic fact in wire! less telegraphy. On Cape Cod there is a [ transmitting station, consisting of four I steel towers with a bunch of wires suspend, ed from the top and meeting at a common ! point like an inverted cone. If the power be applied to the apex of this cone, the j wires Degin to tremble, and this current, ; oscillating at a rate of, say, 999,000 vibrations per second, create a series of corresponding vibrations in the surrounding ether; just as a stone cast into a pond sends out concentric circles of water. This ether wave speeds outward with incalculable rapidity in search of its receiver. Now, there is such a receiver at Pol Dhu, in Cornwall, and the wires at Pol Dhu are precisely attuned to the transmitter, that is, adjusted to an oscillation o. 999,000 per second, so that the message sent from the station at Cape Cod meets no response unj til it finds ita sympathetic station at Pol Dhu, and this welcomes it. The system of wireless telegraphy which is justly credited to Marconi is not an invention, but a discovery. He has simply lighted upon a process which has been going on perpetually in space. The sun as the great source and centre of energy in our solar universe is constantly sending out messages of light. It is a scientifically demonstrated fact that a beam of light is eimply an electric message; that is, a vibrati6n of ether. And here the principle holds that no message can be received except by gome object which is sympathetically attuned to welcome it. Let us suppose, as Professor Pupin suggests, that a beam of light intended to convey the color red is ?ent out from the sun. * It goes forth repreBenting a certain number of ether waves per second and speeds through space until it reaches the earth, and here, intent upon its eager quest, it passes witnout pausing j through all the meadows, since no grass | blade iB adjusted to receive it; parses over all gardens, no daisy or buttercup, no mignonette or helitrope being disposed to -welcome it, until it finds a rose, and here it Eauses and finds welcome, becase the rose as been precisely co-ordinated with it. Let us go a little further now, and we ehall find a spiritual analogy. For this process, which has been discovered to be ! bo prevalent in nature, has infinite field and scope of operation in the province of spir, itual things. God, as the jjreat transmitter ' of truth, bears to the spiritual world a rej lation corresponding with that of the 6un I in the natural world. Let us assume that I there is a God, and that we are created in | His image and 'after His likeness; it follows, us an inevitable conclusion, that He will somehow reveal Himself to His children and hold converse with them. But here is the application of the principle referred to. The man who would hear the wireless messages of God must himself be attuned, or adjusted to the nature and character of Goa. Let us begin with nature, for this is the universal medium through which God communicates with the children of men. Now 1 there are some who look througa nature to nature's God and hear Him speaking in everything about them, as it is written, "There are so many voices and none of them is without signification." Such persons, though they dwell in the desert of Midian. find "every common bush afire with lioa." At night the heavens declare His glory to them and the firmament showeth His handiwork. This was in Bryant's mind when he wrote: "To him who in the love of nature hold9 Communion with her visible forms, she i speaks A various language." But there are others who hear no voices, end see nothing that is not visible to fleshy eyes, like Peter Bell, of whom Wordsworth says: "A primrose by the river's bi'm , A yellow primrose was to him / And it was nothing more." i ( Whence this difference? It arises from the fact that some souls are sympathetic with God and others are not. There was Coleridge, who was so devoutiy inclined, bo open to the reception of spiritual truth, that, walking in the vale of Chamounix, he heard the snow capped mountains and ice falls echoing His name: "God! Let the torrents like a shout -of nations Answer, and let the ice plains echo, God! God! Sing ye meadow streams with gladsome voice; Ye pine groves with your soft and soul JIA.C OUU11UO f Ye livfng flowers that skirt the eternal forest; ,Ye wild goats sporting round the eagle's nest; lYe eagles, playmates of the mountain stream; Ye lightnings, the dread arrows of the winds; Ye sounds and wonders of the elements Utter forth God, and fill the hiile with r praise!" The wisest Man that ever lived got lessons in theology from the ravens, the lilies of the field, the growing wheat. But, alas! there are those who have no ears to hear the song which is within the song of birds and the visions which are within the beauty of the nrtural world. They are bound down to thijgs material, dreaming no dreams and seeing no visions; of the earth, earthy. "Great God, I'd rather be A pagan, suckled in a creed outworn; So might I, standing on this pleasant lea, Have glimpses that would make me less forlorn. Have sight of Proteus rising from the sea, Or hear old Triton blow his wreathed I ? 11U1 u . It is the misfortune of all misfortunes to i be thus bond slave to the ?ve senses; to j fiee nothing beyond the* range of physical : vision and the circumspection of the finger ! tips. This is to be agnostics, indeed; to , have no clairvoyance, no spiritual apprej hension, no second sight, no faith. It is an eternal and immeasurable calamity to stand in the midst of a universe where the ether is vibrant with messages of truth and be so deeply absorbed in our little plans j and pursuits and "physical sciences" that I .we hear no voice of God. Let us turn now to the Scriptures which 1 claim to be a divine revelation. There is I an attempt in some quarters to reduce I them to the level of otner literature, and those who approach them in this attitude will find precisely whatthey find in other books ana no more. Hire, as elsewhere, we find what we are looking for, and hear what we are listening for. The mere student of literature finds in the Bible myths and parables, songs and chronicles of surpassing beauty, but there are others who listen as at divine oracles and hear the veryvoice of God. How are we to account for this difference of estimate as to spiritual value and veracious integrity of the Scriptures? It is due, as before, to a difference of relation with God. In some cases men hold them BCiVtra 111 1 VUUJU\..-<0 IV UVUi , v*o K.U.UUV. in the early watches of the morning, when in answer to the heavenly voice he said. "Speak, Lord, for Thy servant iieareth!" In other cases they stand in a critical or skeptical attitude, as Theodore Parker did when he remarked, "I am not willing to receive this statement upon the authority of any such person as God." There is nothing in the world that can so destroy the receptivity of the soul as this pricle of worldly wisdom. No man can hear a heavenly message who is not instantly willing to admit that God is wiser than he. The fact that a man is liberally educated in certain directions does not argue that he is competent to receive a divine com! munication. In the middle of the seven. teenth century there ~ere two men living in England whose names are equally historic and illustrious for broad culture. One , of these was Sir Isaac Newton and the I pther John Milton. Now it is a singular fact that Sir Isaac Newton could not.ap* predate "'Paradise Lost,-' and equally singular that John Milton could see nothing >' '"The Prineipia." Obviously this was not to the discredit of either "Paradise Lost" or "The PriiiCipia," nor tvas it a reflection upon the learning of either inau. It sira* p:y indicates taat in oruei- iu ayui?-i?-i.v. truth in any quarter a man must ce sympathetically disposed toward it. Milton had no mind for mathematics, nor Newton for poetry. So the wisest of men, as .he worid holds wisdom, may come to the Scriptures and find nothing there; as the 6o!diers of Titus, at the taking of -Jerusalem threw open the ark of the covenant and found it empty. It is a proverb that none a-e so blind as these who will not see; wherefore a man who would hc.iv 'iod speaking through the Scriptures must divest himself of prejudice and be willing to hear Him. And at this point, again, tve discover why Christ is so often rejected as the incarnate "word." There are multitudes who regard Him as chiefest among teu thousand and altogether lovely, but .here are many others wno see in Him nothing but ''a root out of a dry ground, who hath no form nor comeliness that they should receive Him." Why this wide difference of viewi It is due to the same difference in receptivity. There are some who profoundly feel the need of Christ; the sense of sin lies heavily upon them, and they would fain be delivered from it. They wait, like aged Simeon in the temple, for the coming of the mighty One, and, beholding Him, they instantly receive Him as the God-sent Word, saying, "Now lettest Thou Thy servant depart in peace, for mine eyes have seen Thy salvation!" They welcome the message because thc-y were waiting for it. Others, like Nathaniel, cry, "Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?" And prejudice must be overcome before they can receive Him. Thus it is written, "He came unto His own, and His own received ,Him not; bv.t to as many as received Him'to them fave He power to become the sons of God." Prejudice is grounded in pride of worldly wisdom, and this is the great obstacle between the soul and Christ as the "word'' or message from God. Thus it has come to pass that some who have been distinguished for their attainments in certain provinces of knowledge have been wholly blind on the godward side. One cannot forget how Charles Darwin, after spending his life in experimenting along the lines of physical science, died lamenting that his spiritual nature had been starved. In his childhood he had been deeply religious, as he 6aid, but ne had dwelt so long amid an environment of purely material things that God and immortality had become empty dreams to him. He called it "atrophy?tha,t is, a wasting away for want of nourishment. All through his life he had fostered the natural man, or, as Paul calls it, psuchikos, the psychical man. He could reason indefinitely in the realm of material things, but the supernatural was wholly ruled out. And the principle referred to will account, also, for the fact that the Holy Ghost is nothing to many men. And there is more skepticism at this point, I believe, than anywhere else in these days. We are living under the dispensation of the Holy Ghost. He is now the executive of God'a kingdom on earth, and thou* wno are in the Kingdom have to do officially with Him. Yet there are many who characterize the third person of the godhead by a neuter pronoun and regard Him merely as an affluence or effluence, bearing no vital or personal relation to them. There is obviously a great difference oj opinion here. Is the Holy Spirit the personal director of our life and service, or is He not "He" at all, but merely "it?" If He sustains the former relation to us. it is because our souls are in harmony with His great purposes concerning us and adjusted to receive communications from Him. In this case we stand as Elijah did on Horeb, his face wrapped in his mantle, while he harkened to "the Btill small Voice." And living thus we follow His guidance, as did Abraham on his journev from Ur of the Chaldees along the windings of the Great River, ever needing the direction of the Voice, pitching his tent or moving on as the Spirit bade him. Other* wise we are like the multitudes at Pentecost, who, despite the manifestations of di? vine power in the sound of the rushing miorhtv wind and the miracle of tongues, looked on in doubt and bewilderment,"saying: "These men are full of new wine." In a recent book on religious experience the manifestations of pagan frenzy are colla ted with the feelings and convictions of Christian believers, and all alike are subjected to analysis by the so-called "scientific method." Thus judged, there is nothing in regeneration, nothing in sanctification, nothing but infatuation in the uplifting and transporting influence of the Spirit of God. In view of such considerations is it not apparent that the soul is blind and deaf to heavenly visions and revelations, unless it is attuned to them? And what solemn significance there is in the words of Jesus: "He that hath ears to hear let him hear." There are. indeed, "so manv voices and none of them without signification," but the neoDle standing by say: "It thundereth!" O for the hearing ear and the understanding heart! What avails it to call a commission of blind men to pass judgment on the art of Titian or Raphael? What avails it to-bid a jury of deaf men sit in judgment on the oratorio of the "Creation." Thus when the philosophers of Athens heard Paul preaching on Mara Hill "some mocked and others said: We will hear thee again concerning this matter." The gospel is "foolishness to the Greek, and to the Jews a stumbling block, but to them that are saved it is the wisdom and power of God." Men sit like blind Bartimaeus in the Valley of Palms: and its beauty is unknown to them until the Lord of truth, passing by, says: "Receive thy sight!" The five physical senses are as five gates open to physical truth, but faith is the sixth gate, at which alone spiritual verities can enter. Wherefore it is written: "He that cometh to God must believe that He is and that. He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him." The Best Vet to Come. God's best gifts are always before us, never behind. Pleasures of memory are sometimes delightful, but pleasures of hope are ever yet richcr and brighter, especially to the eye and thought of faith. Says one of God's dear ones, referring to a fresh blessing from God: "This sudden coming | of a long-expected blessing is the sweetest | thing that ever came into my life. How good God is and how tenderly He leads us! He changes always a great good into a greater. I have been happy all along, but now, since this experience, my heart Keeps singing: "Rest, peace and life, the flowers of fadeless bloom, | The Saviour gives us not beyond the tomb, But here and now, on earth, some glimpse i is given f\e ...Uini, nlf iiq throutrh the zatea \Sl JSJJB V/1..WU ? of heaven." And thus it ever if in youth, in maturity, i in age and yet beyond?the best is j come. Let us look forward and upv^mi, and ever hope and trust and praise.?Sun- j day-Schoo] Times. .'Educating by Traitlng. It was a pen of the widest knowledge ol i human nature that wrote, "Those who j trust us educate us." No one can succeeril i as a teacher without confidence and trust; in the pupil. Too often do parents repel and harm their children by treating them as though they could not be trusted. Confidence is the very first step in winning and in inducing confidence. How can a j child be drawn to God when he is continu- I ally threatened with the secret and search- 1 ing eye of GoJ? There is reason in the j Oriental superstition of the "evil eye." God is our truest educator; He has given | us bodily energies, mental powers, and a | will to choose and to perform. He trusts j us with all these, lovingly counseling us , not to use them to our own destruction. "Burn the Bridge Behind Ton." "Burn the bridge behind you!" was the command of a general once, when his sol- | diers had filed over a bridge, beneath which a deeD and swift river rushed. Then he j pointed to the foe. "Yonder," he said, "19 the enemy; behind you is death. There is 110 retreat; you must either conquer or die." Professor Henry Drummond, recalling this little incident, said by way of entreaty to those young in the faith: "And so to you who have lately given your lives to Christ I say: "Burn the bridge behind you." Do something to break with your past; do, something definite; commit yourselves in Eoine way, so that others may know, and you may leave no way of xe- ! treat open."
