. j Blac-k satin is recommended by an
1 j authority for a serviceable all round
1 petticoat, one that can be worn with
a cloth gown in the morning, or with
j some soft, filmy robe in the afternoon.
I "I admit," says the authority, "it
1 | sounds a trifle like the quilted petticoat
of twenty-five years ago, but I hold to
my belief for all that. Satin, to begin
with, if bought sufficiently good, outwears
half a dozen cheap black glace
skirts, which really might be made of
paper. It is delightfully comfortable
to walk in?nothing clings to a satin
petticoat; it can probably be fashioned
out of an old dinner gown; it will not
, suddenly split with the noise of a reait
newspaper, nor bring grief by giving
way about the hem and forming a
death trap to its wearing descending
j stairs. A plain black satin skirt, I re1
peat, with a shaped flounce, bordered
i by three neat double bos pleated i
' ruches, will look well, wear perfectly, j
j and be truly economical."

To Line it Hat Crown.
I The careless lining of a home made
, hat often spoils the whole effect. It is
not difficult to lino a hat properly. Cut
a strip of material a little less than
half as wide as the crown measures
across and only a little longer than the
distance around the crown. Run a
thread the entire length of one edge
of the band, turning the edge under.
With long stitches sew the other edge
1
of the band to the crown of the hat.
It is then an easy matter to join the
ends of the band and draw tip the
thread which gathers it to the centre.

! A SEKMON FOR SUNDAY
AN ELOQUENT DISCOURSE ENTITLED. j
. ' WHO ARE SONS OF COD?"
iThe Rev. Robert A. MacFadden Declares
Xliat the Four Sonrcea of SncceHi* Are
JRIood, Will ot the Flesh. Will of Man
and God.
Brooklyn. N. Y.?The Rev. Robert A.
I MacFadden. ol Danvers, Mass., preached
| Sunday in the Lafayette Avenue Presby!
fcerian Church. In the morning kis subject
: was "Who Are the Sons of God?" He
I kaid:
| My subject is "Who Are the Sons of
| God?" and my text John i: 13: "Which
| .were born not of blood, or of the will of
the flesh or of the will of man but of God."
: Here are four sources of success set in
Ipontrast?blood, will of the flesh, will of
| man and God. At first sight they are
jequal; but a second sight reveals the warfare
that ever goes on between heredity
and environment cn the one hand and
faith in God on the other. This contrast
implies, though does not state, that the
'one true success is spiritual success, and
for this a secret power is to be furnished.
Power in life means all the way through
to the final, a victory over difficulties, and
difficulties cannot be ultimately overcome
except through this secret power.
Every life lived and every work done has
somewhere its sufficient explanation. God
has never yet permitted an accident in
His world. Every deed has its pedigree.
So much producing energy in tne cause
means so much energy in the effect. There
is no such thing as luck. Every life has
its pedigree. YoUng men are so apt to
think chance plays the great part in life,
so they wait for their chance. They see
some one do easily the thing he undertakes,
and they leap to the belief that there
is some trick about it. If they only had
the trick they could do it, also. Such
yoimg men need to be informed. The man
who succeeds to-day in business, scholarship
or polities succeeds because ne knows
how, and he knows how because he has
learned how. He who does not know how
is foreordained to failure. There is no
more important question the young man
can ask himself than how he can prepare
for life as not to be a castaway; "not lost
in the next ivorld, but shipwrecked in
this."
For the ratio between what a man is and
what he can do is a constant ratio. Every
man will have all the power he earns, and
4Virj -nATnov V?oa Vrill 4-^11 Yinf ViQf.oiico

people like it or like him, but because it is
power, and as such can keep itself erect
without being propped up by a labor union
or held in its place because it is somebody's
eon.
It follows, then, that the most important
thing a boy can da is to get ready. It
is insQiration to know that every ounce of
enercy put irto work in the early years is
so much distinct guarantee of usefulness in
the adult years. And next to getting
ready, the lather should tell his boy that
he must get ready for rough weather. The
boy must learn to handle the boat of hie
own experience if he is not to be driven
upon the shallows or into the breakers. As
he meets and masters the difficulties that
beset him getting out of the harbor of the
high school or the college, he is eqt ipping
himself for the enemies that will assail
him on the high seas.
John, then, nere points out the possible
ways of getting ready. He asserts that
permanent success does not depend upon
blood, will of the flesh, or will of man,
but solely upon God. Let me translate
this into the four Family, force, furnishings,
faith.
John says first a man's success does not
depend upon his family. Dr. Lyman Abbott
has developed this thought rationally:
That no people are great or good simply
because ot their ancestry. "The greatness
of America does not depend primarily
upon its Pilgrim history." No one would
for a moment dispute this with him. But
I desire to emphasize this from the domestic
viewpoint. A man's spiritual success,
says John, does not depend upon his family.
Then it makes no difference what the
family, the Bible lays no stress upon heredity.
He who says this does not know the
Bible. The Bible lays great stress upon
heredity. When it writes the life of a
great man it begins -with his parents. The
foundations of one generation are in all
respects laid in the antecedent generation.
In an important sense the boy begins to
live -when his father begins to live. The
child is the parent continued down into a
new generation. This is science, and it is
good science. But this is Scripture, and it
is good Scripture. Scripture emphasized
| heredity long before science was born.
| Hannah, the mother of Moses; Elizabeth,
j Mary, Lois and Eunice are all magnificent
monuments. The Christian -women who
I would duplicate these glorious sons must
| first duplicate their matchless mothers.
As believers in the Bible we have an interest
in heredity. It is the Gospel expec|
tation that the children grow up bearing
I the physical features of their parents, so
in time they will come to embrace and exemplify
the parents' faith. That's what
i Timothy did, in whom the great apostle
rejoiccd so much. Heredity is mighty, but
> let us not think it :s almighty. Heredity
I givae us tendency, but it gives us nothl
ing else. The children of good parents
take in goodness more easily than the children
of bad parents. The children of educated
parents acquire ideas more easily
than those of ignorant parents. The father,
who for five and twenty years has been
saying: "Two times two are four, I guess
I'll make it five," gives to bis baby child
the tendency to make the same multiplication,
but the clnid luust make the choice
before it br"->mes to him a sin. How I
wish that that gieat sermon of Henry
/Ward Beeeeher on "Heredity Influence"
could be printed as a supplement to our
courses in ethics. That sermon makes
men tremble at what they may bequeath
to their children. But after all, the grace
of God is stronger than the sin of man.
What a man is he chooses to be. Weakness,
tendency are handed down, but the
choice is made by the individual himself.
/Your spiritual success, young man, does
not depend upon your ancestry, your heredity,
your father's habits, or your family.
John says no man is safe simply because
of his family.
But it does not depend upon your personal
force, which is a free translation for
the New Testament word "flesh." It
stands for the animal man, not necessarily
the bad animal man. It means a strong,
vigorous force in the man himself. Now,
T ? i? J.?? W;11
I UOI1I1 t><iy?> tlllb tsuuujj, YJguiuuo ivivc ?i.ji
I never give a man his spiritual supremacy.
| Let me illustrate, rather than debate, the
i proposition. Noah must have had a strong
| and vigorous will, hut it did not insure
I him against drunkenness. Samson had a
mighty will, but it was no match for the
dark eyes of Delilah. David, what a glorious
career in overcoming obstacles! What
vigor! What power! But in the presence
of his guiltv love he was weak and
wretched. The Rev. Arthur Dimmcrdalo,
in that greatest American novel, "The
Scarlet Letter," had a mighty will, br.t he
was lost in the presonce of Hester Prynne.
That great Irishman, greater than any
other, who ruled with a rod of iron; who
took the mistrably misunderstood probl
lem of home rule and lifted it into a cen|
tral place in the world's thought; who
I thrasned the London Times; who wrought
I miracles in the House of Commons, and
I who lifted William E. Gladstone into the
| office of Prime Minister for the fourth
i time; that man, at the zenith of his power,
was discovered to have invaded another
man's home and was living in a hidden and
I illicit way. The people of Great Britain
| tore him from his throne, trampled his
I name in the dust, and within thi-ee months
he was laid away in his grave with a broken
heart. As the traveler to-day walks by
~f TVff .Tnv Opi?ip
tery of JJubiin, he says: "No, Mr. Parnell,
a mightv will docs not make every
great man safe." What shall fathers tell
their boys? That a weak will is the better
for them? Nay, verily. Great force is to
the boy what momentum is to the rifle
ball. A boy without will cannot live. He
needs every ounce he can acquire, but this
alone will not make him morally safe .or
spiritually strong. The hope of a man 19
not in his family, not in his force, nor yet
is it in his furnishings, which I use as the
equivalent for the will of man. John says
neither the individual nor the world will
be uaved bv its furnishings. When Jonah
went to Nineveh, one of the reasons for
his going was that 120.000 people needed
education?"they could not tell their right
hand from their left." That same cry ?oes
up today. Only educate and train; that
is sufficient. Your section is not so whitewashed
with this system of ethical culture
as some others I know. But we never can
emphasize too often or too positively the j
axial tenet of Christ's creed that what a I
men needs primarily is not accession of I
brain, but a fresh heart; not illumination, i
but reconstruction, the establishment in j
him by grace of something that is not in !
him by nature. Illumination of the brain j
is never claritication of the heart. There ;
was a man in our American life who was ,
born of the best family, with a personal j
force that commanded men and captivated j
women, whose furnishings could scarcely i
be surpassed, and yet there has not walked
across the pages of American history a |
blacker hearted villian than Aaron Bur?. '
I am as fc.r as possible from saying that !
knowledge makes a man* worse; my only j
contention is that it has not in itself the j
power of making men better. Ideas, edu- j
cation alone, can neither*reconstruct the '
life nor recreate the heart.
This is a thoughtful age; men are !
brainy; all about us there is a passion for j
new ideas: but our most urgent necessity j
is not of idea but of power. What we !
need most of all is not schooling but bap- j
tism. and that is to come through faith.
What is this faith that is to give us the '
simreme victory and insure our safety? It j
is at this distinct point that we begin to |
learn the real meaning and purpose of I
faith. Every little while I am told by one I
and another that he would like to have |
faith in this particular matter in regard to !
the Bible, or in regard to Christ in the fu- i
ture life as though if his mind could only I
be brought intellectually to consent to it, I
the consummation would be reached and a
great result achieved. Being prepared to
assent to this or that particular statement
in regard to Christ, for example, is a very ,
distinct thing from faith. Faith is per- \
sonal attitude, personal relationship. Faith i
is such a personal yielding of ourselves to !
another as brings us into living contact j
with that other and so makes us recipient
of what it lies in that other to confer. The j
child becomes like his father by faith in j
his father, because his faith i9 that inward I
surrender that makes him susceptible to I
every impression that goes forth from his |
father. A child's faith toward his mother j
is not faith that what his mother says is ;
true; it is faith in his mother, the hiding of :
himself in the one life that enwraps them I
both, so that he lives in the sweep of her j
inspiration and grows up toward manhood
by the appropriation of personal vigor, wis- j
dom ana sweetness hourly made over him.
And that is cast in the same mold as Gos- !
pel faith, which is as a cord by which the .
living Christ holds the believer to Him- j
self. Faith is not a condition wherein we
hold to something or somebody, as that in j
which we are held by something or some- i
body. It is not holding a doctrine, but be- j
ing held by a person. x Know WI1ULU X |
have believed." The iron filings stick to ,
the magnet, not because they try so hard 1
to stick, but because they are mastered
by the magnet.
Faith, then, has for its very essence a
personal self-commitment, one ounce of
which is worth a whole ton of intellectual j
affirmation. It is this sense of being held j
by God that makes a man safe and secure.
I do not know how the grace of God can
take a man like Saul of Tarsus ai*i make j
him Paul the Apostle; but no man will
question his knowledge when he says: "I
live, yet not I, but Christ liveth in me."
That is exactly what John B. Gough cried
as he went like a flaming torch blazing the
way for a multitude of hopeless drunkard^.
The hope, and the only hope, for
us all is in the grace of God. If I were to
strike a tuning fork on this desk and hold
it to my ear not one in this room could
hear the sound thereof, but I could hear
it and tune my violin. Strike it again and I
instead of holding it to my ear, set it up- i
,L'- J+ho cnurid would I
on mis uesh.. xucuuiwj ...?
be heard everywhere. But what do you I
hear? Not the tuning fork, for the tuning
fork makes no louder sound the second
time than it did the first. What do you
hear? You hear this hard wood desk,
which has no music in itself, but just as
soon as it comes in contact with a musical |
instrument it itself becomes musical and j
delights every one that h;u> music in his '
soul.
The individual life may be insignificant i
alone by itself; it may come from a good
family or a bad; it may have great force
or little; it may have choice furnishings or
not; but the safety and security of all will
depend upon the personal self surrender
to the Son of God, who alone has the power
to make them Sons of God, which are
born not of a family or of force or of furnishings,
but of faith.

Young People. The thing which a man
can ao, and do best, is generally that
which is appointed him. If one has a passion
or even a predilection for a certain
thing, he will make or find a chance somehow
to do what he longs to do, and will
obtain a degree of proficiency in it. 4'0ur
tastes," says one, *'are strings pulling us j
into place." The taste for books and mu- J
sic will pull one into the place of libraries,
eongs and sweet sounds, inevitably, invariably.
There may not be complete gratification,
nor perfect development of existing
talent, but the taste that dominates j
the man and the circumstances. The :
strings pull, and with definite results. In j
spite of difficulties, Elihu Burritt's taste i
for books pulls, even at the blacksmith's
forge, and Abraham Lincoln lies at full i
length upon the cabin floor to read by the '
light of the flaming brands. Did not these
men, and multitudes of- others, find their
places? I>id not the strings pull?
Such notable and instinctive reL'sh for .
the best things is God-given, and the be- j
Etowal is one of the means whereby the
place is found. It io often far better to be j
thus pulled into place than to be born i
in it.
What is the duty, then? It is twofold:
Strengthen these strings that pull by cultivating
to the utmost the taste for the j
^est things, deteririned not to step shcrt i
