fashionable thin *illis and the many
lovely muslins ihat are so well liked.
This one is peculiarly charming aud is
made of mercerized batiste with a
yoke made of bandings of the material
held by fagotting and is trimmed with
Teneriffe wheels. The material being
washable, the lining is omitted, but
when silk or wool fabrics are used, the
fitted foundation is in every way to
be desired. When likod the yoke can
be of all-over material, or it can be.
made from either lace or other ornamental
banding held together by
stitchings or by banding of a contrasting
sort.
The waist consists c.f the fitted lining,
front, backs and yoke. Both the
waist and sleeves ar~ laid in fine tucks, J

which are stiv.-lj'-d for a portion of
their length only ami which provide
i>oft fullness below. The yoke is separate
and arranged over the waist, the
losing being made at the centre back.
The quantity of material required
for the medium fcizc- is four and onequarter
yards twenty-one inches wide,
three and three-quarter yards twentyfceven
inches wide, or two and one-half
yards forty-four inches wide, with fifteen
yards of banding, or one yard of
all-over material eighteen inches wide
for yoke and cuffs and one-half yard
of silk for belt.
Color in Waists.
Color, if employed at all in the design,
should go with the dark and medium
toned waists, and of these, both
as to shade and texture, there are samples
galore from which to make a selection.
Possibly the pale tans and biscuit
colors are most enticing, and with
these you may consistently work in
monchrome effects. There are some
very fetching lavender tint6 and blues
that will stand color; in fact, the more
pronounced the color of the waist, tie
more bold your design may be. Coarse
linens are exceedingly stunning when
.embroidered in heavy thread, and will
not look amiss with a bold dash of
color here and there.

Linen Frockft.
Linen frocks are a very importanl
item in the wardrobe, and they range
all tiie way rrorn tne simplest sauoi f

tie wraps are also made of linen, J'
stitched and tailored, or heavilj

Prooklyn, N. Y.?Having bpon ap- "
minted Presiding Elder of the New York <
District of the New York East Conference, _
,he Rev. Dr. John E. Adams, pastor of Tj
jirace M. E. Church, preached his closing
sermons Sunday. During his pastorate of .]
i little more than two years he has. had
narked success. The debt of the church, tj
(20,000, was canceled in January, 1903, the
nortgagc burned and the church is now -j
Vee from incumbrance. Sunday morning
i)r. Adams preached on "An Advance Or- y
lered." The text was from Exodus xiv: .1
5: "Speak unto the children of Israel, '
hat they go forward." Dr. Adams said: j
When this advance was ordered, the Is- ?
aelites were encamped on the coast of t
lie Red Sea. Before them was the sea r0
rnr-nnrl rvnf fr?r milpc ariH Ipho-iipc !Jn/l i
md neither bridge nor boat, nor pontoon L
>y which to cross it. Behind them was / ^
he army of Pharaoh, with horses and ^
hariots, with trained warriors and skilled n
omrnanders, intent on their capture or ^
lestruction. On either side, it would seeni, ^
vere formidable obstructions?mountains,
>r fortresses, or something that could not
)e passed?for the Israelites saw no wayl t]
>f escape and cried out for fear. In this/
lerilous and apparently hopeles9 situation} ^
he people reproached Moses for the dread*
ul extremity to which they had been ret ?
luced; whereupon that holy man appealed ^
o God for help, and then came, probably
n tones of thunder that sounded in the ^
iars of all the people full and clear abovfe ^
he roar of the sea, this strange order:
'Wherefore criest thou unto Me? Speak
into the children of Israel that they go
crward." ?
Leaving now the literal narrative, ex- tl
:ept as we may have occasion to recur to u
t incidentally, let us attend to the moral
neanings and uses of the text. The case
>efore us is exceptional in nothing but the
>hysical facts; the moral truths and unlerlying
principles of this case are always
md everywhere present among the people I'
>f God. Indeed, the principles here in- &'
solved are so general and the analogies of
iniversal history are so wide and complete

;his text as the law of the universe1 ap- 11

inds its duplicate in the moral occasion \

ion this very hour, and as we staa 1 to-day ol
.mid these threatening environnw nts, the r<
aptain of our salvation calls to us from ?
teaven, "Go forward," and in o bedience w
o this order lies our duty, our safety and
>ur happiness. I
Let us apDroach our subject I step by ta
tei^ God is the author of the [universe. P'
Hie universe existed in the Divine Mind w
3 an ideal before it existed in itself as sc
, substance. The ideal was coirplete and C{
lerfect as well as beautiful and good; but 01
he first states of the actual v ~i verse did as
lot realize that perfect ideal cf the Diine
Mind. What then? Did God fail? a
)id His active energv nrove unequal to vi
lis beneficent intentions? By no means. C?
rod gave the universe this imperfect, form yf
t first, not because He could net do other- J
rise and had to abandon His ideal but beause
He saw it better to realise His ideal
radually through the law of progress than 'e
o realize iC suddenly by an ict of crea- P<
ive power. Deliberately ai d of His own vi
olition God made the universe a crude "
lass of unorganized matter and force;
nd then, intr-sting Iiis subl ine work to
he law of progress operated by respon- ?
ible intelligences, He directed that in due n<
ime all should be reduced to order, bar- }v
aony and beauty. This is 'ie 6tory of the 'n
iniverse in its entirety and in its parts, bi
.'his is the story of the worlds and of their cc
iroductions. This is the story of minerals,
egetables and animals; of general species ai
nd individuals; of angels, women and re
icn. This is the story of matter in all its ^
ombinations, of life in all its forms, and "
f mind in all its phenomena. This, in m
irief, so far as we have yet learned, is the ?'
tory of all creation, and of all proDaga- 1"
ion. I M
Let me illustrate what I mean by the P
ak. God's ideal for the oak is a majestic ?
ree, six feet in diameter and ten feet in ^
eight, witlj mighty roots taking deep
old of the rocks and mighty branches Vj
weeping the clouds?a very giant that can tj.
trestle with the storms and play with the 1
ightnings. But in its beginning, as it tj.
nrouts from the acorn., the oak is a tiny
hoot which the foot of a little child could jn
Ifectually crush. God mikes it thus and ni
ays to it, "Go forward;" and then the lit- fa
le plant, obedient to the Divine com- jj.
uand, through cloud and sunshine and n(
hanging season, soon goes on and out and 'tj
ip, .until at last, by means of the law of | j
irogress in the form of growth, it has
ulfilled the word of God, and stands beore
the eyes of men in all the imposing
randeur of its towering and solid maturity.,
lake the eagle as another illustration.
iod's ideal for the eagle is an imperial
fird of great size and strength, with
mazing keenness^of^ vision and with pin- ,fi
or a lor majesuc nigiu, tiie mountain crag j
ts castle, and its pleasure ground the sky.
Such is the Divine ideal for this noble . ,
iird. But the young eaglet emerges from
he shell a feeble little creature, and if r
ou could see it during the first week or
wo of its existence, and could stroke with .
out hand its soft yellowish down and ?
ook into its pale bluish eyes, its feebleiesB
would probably excite your pity. But
& the little thing feeds and exercises, it
TOWs and strengthens, until at last, un- i
ler the operation of this law of progress, i
t can soar from the nest, launch into the JJi
ir, gaze directly into the noonday sun, .]
teat down the storm clouds under its ?
even foot spread of wings, and sail from |
ontinent to continent, through the oceans
i azure above, over the oceans that roll
lelow.
But in this discission we must rise out e?
if life into mind, and then still ascend ""
rom the intellectual to the spiritual. We "
will, therefore, consider man as an illusration
of the tnth we are pursuing.
Sod's ideal for man is a most exalted and
ublime being, witb mental and moral enlowments
of trenendoue scope, so im- m
neasurably .superior in parts and powers Y<
o all else we know, that it seems the whole ti
reation must culminate in him. God de- n<
igned man in His own image, intended T.
lim for commurion and companionship w
with Himself, determined to make him His
'ice-regent here on the earth, and pro- 0
losed at last to share the government of ch
he universe with Him forever. The
bought of suen dignity is an astonishing cl

ess than this i^ God's ideal for man, if J
ead the Scriptrres aright.
But the distarce between inception and it
!omp]etion is greater liere than elsewhere, dj
lot onJy became man is destined to rise e?
ligher than other creatures, but also be- si
ause he begins lower. It is a well-known 11
act that the young of the human species

oung of many jf the lower animals. True, tl:

nfant with scft. and reverent step, and ui
his is fitting. Heaven itself looks down
in human infancy with reverence. I doubt ar
f it is too strcng to say that God stations el;
i quaternion o: guardian angek at the four T
orners of every little crib in the land. D
Jut the revtjfence with which we regard

and progress?and then observe
lie child, now become the man. How
onderful and indescribable the result!
bat little child now stands erect and sureys
the high places of the earth. He
limbs the heights, and, walking with God
n the horns of the mountains, he sureys
the heavens. He counts the stars
nd calls them by their names. He knows
e is superior to suns and systems. His
eart thrills with pulsations that are
ugntier tnan ocean currents or solar muences.
He sees. He knows. He ?nerstands.
He reasons. He feels within
iniself the mighty mastery. He calls out
o God, and God answers him. The seep*
re is already in his hand, and thejerown

ill soon place on his brow. Hencefortfe
e is king, and alive foreverraore, with a
fe that will rule the world and oonquer

Such is the law of progress which is
ere applied to the church, both collecvely
and individually. We are here solmnly
commanded to "rise up and seize our
lheritance. Never before in all the ages
as there such a concurrent blast of trumets
from all quarters of the globe calling
tie church to go forward. Let the coimns
form and the match begin.
Great Work.
The best work of the world has been
one by men who magnified their office.
h in nnr> tliinir for . ? mnn tn have .in exatr
erated sense of bin personal importance;
is quite another thing, anil vastly wiser,
>r a man to have an exalted sense df the
icred character of his office^ his mission
i the world.
Any work is great if it only fit into the
Ian of a well-ordered and beneficent life.
Mat constitutes the greatness of a work
i not the nature of the work itself, but
le spirit in it, the purpose of it.
A young man about to graduate from
it mechanical engineering course in a
reat university emisted in the Spanish
ar. He became a common soldier and
ever got farther than Chattanooga. It
as there he wrote to a friend: "I am
loeing Government horses; not a very
tractive occupation, but anything I can
t) is in the line of duty, and I am consnt."
Such a mind as that dignifies the
umblest labor. "The line of duty''?it is
-raight, but it leads straight to peace and
ower.
The common tasks of life are not com.on
when looked upon through obedient
ffcfl. Every man's work is noble if it be
is work. And since the majority of ua
we our lives in fields where God alone
aserves our course, it is well for us to
member that character is the result of
le methods we employ and of the spirit
e exemplify in doing ordinary things.
School days are more important than
ley seem to the scholar who slights his
Lsks and tries to see with bow httle apication
he can "get through." When he
rites a line in a copybook he is writing
lifo v?/\f <l/?nfpn/?p VlA
>pies, but himself. He is making a reeled,
good or bad. He will go through life
i he goes through school.
The apprentice thinks he is getting only
trade in the workshop, but he is getting
istly more. He is acquiring habits of
irelessness or of thoroughness. The clerk
ho came to his work ten minutes late and
made it lip by leaving his work ten mintes
early" is losing more than his employ
loses. The employer loses the equivanfc
of a little time; the clerk is losing
)wer, loyalty, his grasp of things most
iluable. Lis hold o.i the bijrgest factor ia
le problem of life, namely, laith.
Some one asked a philanthropist: "What
5 we need most in order to accomplish
lis or that reform?" He replied: "We
jed a man's life blood." That is exactly
hat all great tasks need?the spirit that
quires not "What can I get out of this':"'
it "What can I put into it; what of
mrage, wisdom, self-denial?"
All truly patriotic work, all educational
id charitable work, all humanitarian and
hgious work, is great in so far as they
ho do it give themselves to it, put ail
iere? is of them into it. The most tre^dous
work ever given to man is that
' extending the kingdom of God, bui'.dg
the invisible church of Jesus Christ,
[ore depends upon it; greater and more
:rmanent good issues from it.
Lucy Lareom, in an "Arbor Day Poem,"

Covering Sins.
There are two ways of covering sin?
an's way and God's way. You cover
>ur sins, and they will have a resurrecon
some time; let God cover them, and
?ither devil nor man can lind them.
here are four expansions in the Bible
ith regard to where God puts sins:
He puts them behind His back. If
od has forgiven me, who shall bring a
targe against me?
He ha3 blotted them out as a thick
oud. You see a cloud to-night, and toorrow
there isn't a cloud to be seen.
He casts them into the depths of the
a. Some one has said, "Thank God that
is a sea and not a river; a river might
y up, but the sea cannot." The greatit
blessing that ever comes to me this
tie of heaven is when God forgives me.
ave you been forgiven?
The fourth expression is that Tie reoves
them as far as the East is from
ie West. Do you know how far that is?
erhaps some good mathematician will fig e
that 115.
"If we confess our sins, He is faithful
\d just to forgive us our sins, and to
eanse us from all unrighteousness."'
hen make sure that you are forgiven.?

A Story About Balfour.
Premier Balfour has his pleasant i
sallies with members of Parliament
now and then. John Morley took him
to task some weeks ago for lax attendance
in the House of Commons.
Mr. Balfour denied that there was any
disinclination on his part to attend the j
sittings or to listen to the debates. On 1
the contrary, he declared, some of the j
I moments of greatest repose that he i
could snatch from a somewhat stren- I
uous and laborious official career were I
those spent on the treasury bench lis- :

To Keep Her Baby.
A Chicago mother has adopted a
j novel plan for keeping before her the
image of her daughter at various ages.
When her daughter Mignon was a
mere baby she began to take a regular
series of photographs, which she
has continued ever since. Up to the
present time she has taken in all about
400 photographs, all entirely different
in pose. Together they comprise probably
the most complete child's portrait
gallery in the world.
A Modest Monarch.
General Crouje, who is visiting the
United States, was asked to pose for
his picture the other day by a news
photographer.
"I am too modest," said the Boer
i leader, laughing.
I "But a great man like vou " the
photographer began.
"Oh, if I were great, I should be still i
more modest." said General Cronje.
"Let me tell you about the modesty of |
a king?King Frederick VI. of Den- j
: mark?who really was a great man.
i "King Frederick VI. was visiting a
' certain Danish school. The pupils
i were intelligent and alert. He put a
number of questions to them.
" 'What,' he said finally, 'are the
names of Denmark's greatest kings?'
"The well read boys answered in
chorus:
"'Canute, Waldemar and Christian
WV '
"The the schoolmaster bent over a
boy and whispered something, whereupon
the lad rose and raised his hajid.
" 'Well,' said the King, 'do you know
another?'
"'Yes; Frederick VI.,' the boy an1
swered.
"The King smiled. 'What great deed
j did h-? perform?' he said.
"The boy was silent. He thought
: hard. Finally he stammered:
" 'I don't know.'

i the King. 'I don't know, either.';

Making Leavened Bread.
From Rome the art of making leavened
bread was slowly introduced si
among tbe northern nations, and ev- a
en at tbe present time, .'.n upper Nor- at
way and Sweden, in FiLland, Iceland n<
and Siberia, fermented bread Is but er
seldom used, except among the higher pi
classes. In many parts of Sweden 5C
rye cakes as bard as wood are baked
twice r. year and form the common
bread of the poorer classes. In Scotland,
up to a reccnt period, barley ban- "
nocks and oaten cakes were the ordinary
bread of the people. J

Football In 1424.
On the statute book cf Scotland is
still an act pased in 1424, ordering that te
"no man play at futeball," because it is gj
"esteemed to be unprofitable sport for Cl
the common gude of the realme and w
defense thereof." There is also a statute
against alien immigration, passed
in 1426, and authorizing "ill his Majesty's
good subjects" to "take, appre- oi
hend, imprison and execute to death 0
the said Egiptians (gypsies;, either men w
or women." , tc
Alcohol For Automobiles.
Within recent years the production U
of alcohol in Germany has been stimu- (K
lated by beneficial legislation, whereby =
for industrial purposes it is free cf
revenue duty, and the result has been
that in addition to an extensive use in
chemical and manufacturing processes
it is being increasingly employed for
small internal combustion motors. Alcohol
has been found particularly useful
for automobiles, and as the combustion
under full load is practically
complete, there are no offensive odors
as in the case of gasoline and naphtha.
Since gasoline has a higher heat of
combustion than alcohol in the ratio of
two to one, to perform the same work
a greater weight of the latter is required,
but this is diminished by the' A
fact that with alcohol a greater amount |
of heat is obtained in the form of B
work. Consequently, it takes four P
parts of alcohol by -rcight to accomrvlieVi
(bo enmo imfrnnt of wnrl; ns thrpf* I
'?"?" f
parts of petroleum, and the question 1
resolves itself into one of cost, in Ger- C
many this being in favor of alcohol.
Furthermore, the question has to be
considered in European countries such |
as Germany, that petroleum is a for- 1
eign product, while alcohol is produced
from the extensive fields of potatoes
which are universally cultivated I
throughout the empire. ? Harper's t
