This one ; 1* quite novel, inasmuch as it includes HOCSE JACKET. 5 garments of the sort are appropriate ' for immediate wear, challie, albatross ' and the like for cooler weather. The 1 shaped back gives admirable lir es and ; a yoke collar that extends well over J the shoulders, and is both simple and 1 attractive. The original, from which : the drawing was made, is of white batiste, ring-dotted with blue and : trimmed with bands of embroidery, '< coilar and cuffs bein? of white, but all the pretty washable fabrics used for ' also an effect of neatness, while the ' A Late design 1) I loose fronts are both graceful and com- i fortable. When iiked the box pleats ' Can be omitted and gathers used in < their stead. s The jacket consists of the fronts. 1 joined to a round yoke, backs and side- i baoks with full sleeves. The yoke-col- 1 lar is separate and arranged over the i whole and there is a choice allowed be- 1 tween a turn-over and a'standing collar. At the wrists are shaped cuffs 1 that harmonize with the yoke-collar and are exceedingly effective. 1 The quantity of material required for < the medium size is four and three- i quarter yards twenty-seven inches 1 iwide, four and three-quarter yards ; fifty-two inches wide or two and five- ; eighth yards forty-four inches wide, i with four yards of binding to trim as 1 illustrated.

The fashionable mantles are chiefly madf in Vght fawn soft cloths, smooth faced r,r fancy woven, and those very light tones are in the majority; there are a great many cream. The gray and the black are not quite so fashionable, but are very much worn, especially at this season. The buttons nnAn fhoco o/intc oro nftpn mnrkpd I feature; indeed, the jeweled buttons and the stone buttons of by no means so cosily material but effective, are having an immense following. The blister pearl, the amazonife, the matrix opal, and the matrix turquoise all 6erve as a ground for the introduction of what appear to be rubies, sapphires and diamonds. Some buttons are cameos and some are wrought in metal, carrying out the military element now so necessary an adjunct to ruccess. Sage Green Silk and Voile. Sage green silk and very thin voile were combined in a graceful gown. The skirt was laid in very tiny pleats and was a triple affair.

A SERMON FOR SUNDAY AN ELOQUENT DISCOURSE ENTITLED "UNFINISHED THINGS." Tli? Eev. A. II. C. Mome Bases an Imter tlnc Address Upon the Firgt and I.ast Words in the ScriptmeR?Ee Not Impatient, God Has a Flan. Brooklyn, N. Y.?In the Strong Place Baptist Church Sunday morning tbe pastor, the Rev. A. H. C. Morse, preached a strong sermon on "Unfinished Things." He said: My sermon this morning is based upon the first and the last words in the Scripture: "In the beginning God created, the heaveoi and the earth, "Even so, come Lord Jesus." And between these texts there is an immeasurable distance. The < first deals with the beginning of things. The last closes the Bible with a note of ] incompleteness. The .first takes us back to the moment when* the shining worlds were hurled from the battlements of heaven by the hand of the Creator. The seeond points forward to some "far off divine event to which the whole creation moves." It would solve many troubles in our thinking if we remembered that we live in a world of unfinished things. This earth is not a finished product. It is rather the sum of all tbe forces with which it was ' stored in the beginning. It is what some- 1 one has called an expectant creation. It stands with shaded eyes looking toward i the future. Hidden behind all its movement there is a divinely appointed end. < Men may correct all their false ideas of . evolution in the light of this single truth, i But in the beginning they must posit God. < Life is an unfinished product. Whoever 1 saw a finished life? In a great workshop J we must look for noise and du6t and tu- ; mult and confusion. We also look for the j finished product, but it is not there. As ! soon as a product is finished it is removed. Its place is not there in all that dust and i dirt. This -world is God's great workshop, i Are "we startled at the noise and confusion? Human beings are in process of be- i ing formed and perfected. But the end is not yet. '"It doth not yet appear what we l Bhall be." No one is perfect to-day. And i what we call the best is made up of unfinished and incomplete products. If this < world has ever seen the perfect, it is only ] that it would be removed. Life is n great ] school. What man is, or does, after graduation has not been told us yet with any < detail. 1 We are appalled at the evidences of social wreckage. They tell us there is noth- 1 ing good in all the world, that the whole. 1 earth is a vast madhouse, her inhabitants j are drunk with delirium, the fields are be- ! coming bankrupt, and the harvests are 1 well niffh exhausted. Thev tell us that th? ' strong trample the weak to death in their cruel greed and hunger. Now this seems to me like a false interpretation. The r;orld is filled with madness. It does reek in cruelty and greed. But still I am taught that this world is God's, and that it is workingi for a divinely appointed end. It manifests along its course one great intention. Who, then, are the pessimists? They are the disappointed whom fertune seems to have shaken from her skirts. Here is a man you used to know. Then he was bright and keen and vivacious and energetic. In those days his eyes were bright with the gleam of far-off fire. But now we meet him and the light has faded from his eye, and the spring lias departed from his I 6tep, and he has joined the great army of J the disappointed. He had set his heart upon obtaining something which the passing 'years have said he could never Have. And his life has failed and his possessions 1 have taken flight. Now what does this mean? It simply means that he has been t displaced by the very progress of the > world. When an army is marching forward and it quickens it3 pace, the weaker 1 soldiers must fall by the wayside. But the ' army has gone to valiant duty. And the < very fact that the world is sweeping onward means that some must be dropping i every year. They are flung backward be- t cause the race is hurrying forward. i This world is an incomplete world be- I cause it is divine. If life, as we know it, were complete, if this were the end, then ? we should have to-day the ultimate stand- t ard of success. Our judgment of ourselves 1 and of others would be linal. But is that t bo? Who of us dare judge another? Do ( we not rather look at this life as part of a whole, whose greater part lies beyond the vision? There isn't room in the longest human career to develop all we hope and i love and long tor. Ana so we say tnat tne t most encouraging thing about this life is j that it is not yet complete. The basis of j hope is the possibility of growth?not in f the perfection of attainment now or in the 1 immediate future. 1 Shall I be misunderstood if I point out t that the earthly life ot the Saviour par- t took of this same incompleteness? His ac- 1 tions, His parables, His whole teaching i constitute a promise of the future. His 1 life led to His death, His death to His res- i urrection, His resurrection to His ascen- 1 sion, His ascension to His throne of glory, 2 and that again leads to His second coming. < "Even so. Come, Lord Jesus." It is as < though the lines of life projected far be- 1 yond our farthest ken; and could be followed only by an infinite hope. Why was not Jesus one of the disappointed? If ever a man had a right to be a pessimist it was 1 He. He fouou that the world did not < want Him, the rulers of the state had no 1 Slace for Him, the chuion of Judea that < lod had been training for 1500 years to 1 look for Him did not know Him. Why < was He not in despair? Because He had i in Himself the wells of joy. Not the joy < of indifference, not the joy of Him who ] 6ees and does not care. But the joy of ] Him who sees all, and through all to the j living Go'l. Just as in one of Corot's pic- < tures you can see in the foreground the i gnarled and blnckened trunks, and be- i yond all and behind all the clear ehining I of the sky. The gospel with its mission still unaccomplished is another instance of that thought before us. In the world, in the 1 church and in the soul of thu believer the 1 gospel sees not yet all things put under it. 1 And that for the simple reasou that this 1 is a world of unfinished things. And ever. * this may come to us with inspiration, for ' unlike the dwellers in the Orient we live ! in the midst of unfulfilled prophesies. Nor ' shall they ever be fulfieled here. Other conditions and other circumstances are ' needed. From this incompleteness one 1 mifrnf nra + lior* i Vi o 1 n rrrnc f n yon i m Onf fnt* our ( immortality. This world is in accordance ^ with a divine purpose, and cannot be ex- ^ plained unless it tells of a fulfillment in 1 the ages, yet to come, when this earth shall have been replaced by a new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness. Then He Himself Bhall be satisfied. The old philosophers used to represent ' all things in a state of continual llow. j They stood by the river whose dark wat- ' ers, fed from some hidden source, stole ( past in voiceless mystery. They saw the f same mysterious flow in the seasons, in < the harvests, in human life itself. And they posited motion as the substantia in } the world of things. Now the world is in ! a state of flow because it is a state of in- i completeness, and that again because it is ' expectant. There is something yet before 1 us. God has not made men who can loug and love and hope and struggle and deny themselves, only that they may fall into a hole in the grass. For what, then, does this whole creation wait? Paul tells us in one place that it is for the revealing of the sons of God. Isn't that worth the time that is past? Isn't it worth all the struggle and suffering and tears of our fathers? Isn't it worth all the pain with which joy and sorrow have pol- | ished us into shapeliness? And who again are the?ie sons of God? ] "As many as are led by the spirit of God, they are the sons of God." It is for these that creation waits, and without them the universal process halts. This world began with the fiat of God, and the mechanical 1 forces with which the stars were Hung in ' their orbits. But in the process of time God said, Let us make man, and it was at that point the purposes of the universe became personal and human and spiritual. And now, Oil, matchless wonder! the next etep cannot be taken without the help of man. "We are laborers together with Him." Not even God Himself can develop the possibilities He has bound up in us unless we give Him leave. His final end < is reached vot by law, but by His sons. 1 How, then, are we to swing things on < from this first to this last? From creation < to the soo^ns, ar^d then again oaward to < ? i - - the glory that ernall yet be revealed? Only by Finding the way of God, and being caught up in the mighty sweep of His own ii purposes. Here is a vessel longing for her g port, and the wind is blowing favorably above. But she does not move, she cannot move till men shall run up the sails and "V they shall catch the wind. And then the v ship that has lain like a lifeless thing becomes a thing of life and hurries on her way. And so it seems that the time is come when the crises of history are hinged t upon the work of man._ The gospel, for 0 instance, has been committed to the hands of men. And, as I understand it, the second text cannot be fulfilled till this gospel of the kingdom is preached in all the earth, e I iwell upon the subject of unfinished j ,, things, because it gives to us an interpre- i tation that enhances the value of life. One i thinks of his own life in comparison with i the circling orbs, and says it is an unim- ! portant thing. It is not useful, it infiu- ' * ences no one. Why keep up this awfol ) ? struggle with heat and cold, and pain and j ? privation? Why strive to do better? Why | b not go with the tide that sweeps away to q the dark? The real danger is not that we , shall think too much of ourselves, but that " we shall count our lives as worthless ii things. We cannot afford to lose sight of p the place we hold in the purposes of God. p A man's life taken by itself is an insignifi- j cant thing. But when we think of it as a I " part of a great whole it becomes of infinite j ii value. It is as vast as all the schemes of j which it is the part. This is an instance ' ^ where the part is as large as the whole. j In his college sermons Dr. Peabody uses : r i beautiful illustration of this very | i; thought. He refers to the two hundred p md fiftieth anniversary of the founding of Harvard College. The students marched in torchlight processions with transparen- P cies and banners. The freshman class, t then only one month old, had this for their motto: "The university has waited 250 years for us." And that he says was a j s profound truth. All the institutional life j i 1 - -1 1 - ?? ?1 ^ fV\n.?o lirrlif. I _ naa Deen siawiy cvuivui^ mi mccv. , g hearted bovs, and on their conduct now I rested the destiny of the future. I wonder ! " if it is possible that this very world has j t been waiting for us. And if there are \ a ?ome things yet unfulfilled that are wait- j c ing for the way we use these days. If so j that makes life vastly insijnificant. Of j e course, it does not mean that we shall be', e notable, or great, or prominent. Not tbat ' c >ther generations shall know our names. I But that our little lives are of eternal | j meaning. _ i ^ Mr. F. B. Meyer has said some beautiful j e things. I remember hearing him say one ; a time that we are God's "poem" (God's j ivorkmanship). And you know that a i poem is something very different from all j irose. It contains a thought that could lot be put in prose. To paraphrase it is j 0 :o dull its beauty. It flashes the idea only j n n that form,, just as a diamond gives that ' jrleam only from that side. So we are j Sod's poem! And a poem contains a ' 1 ;hought. And to express that thought : E ias meant to the writer a great effort. ! ind every syllable is of value. And so ! s .vith God's poem. He is working upon us ! :hat.in the ages to come He might show I c "ortii the exceeding riches of His grace. [ a Han any life be insignificant? j r Give no place, then, to impatience. God I nade this world in the beginning, and to J ;his present He has sustained it by a well- : v 'ormed plan. The present finds us here. j What place shall we take in this world of j ^ mfinisned things? For myself I take a : jlace of jov, and effort, and hope. I reach i >ut lame lhaiids of faith for the way of [ C jrod, and' lift up a voice that is half a j f irayer and half a shout, "Even so, come, ! Lord Jesu9." I <!?n? of Thoucht.

' ^ I r Success For All* i True success is within the reach of all j c nen. It is to know and to do God's will, [ f ;o learn and to follow in His way. It is to r Hit our hand cheerfully to the nen or the i!ow, whichever God's providence sug- j ;ests. In the reckonings of eternity to j lave been a good mason will count for i ( nore than to have been a bad monarch: j ] :o have walked worthy of the vocation of servant will be accounted better than to ] iave been a selfish sovereien. Lives that j ( jpon earth were despised, but which were I j veil lived, and labor that was counted me- j t lial, but which was well performed, will j c aear the stamp of divine approval for eter- j 1 lit}'. Success will be defined in the lex:- j :on of heaven as it seldom is in any lesi- 1 :on of earth. As for the dollar mark, it ! will not be used in the world of bliss. : j "Stretch Forth Thy Hand."
