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

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

and pliable material is appropriate.

ines to as great an extent as 011 gowns.

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

any other fabric except sheer cotton

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.

! 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.

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

And thus it ever if in youth, in maturity, i
in age and yet beyond?the best is j

and ever hope and trust and praise.?Sun- j

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."
