An afternoon frock was made of light blue embroidered mull, with a net effect, combined with the pattern of the embroidery. This was worn over a slip of pale lavender chiffon, iwith an interlining of light blue taffeta, giving that vapory, two-toned effert gained by the combination of blue and lavender. The skirt of this gown was made full and finished at the bottom ;with a finely pleated flounce headed with groups of graduated cords. Throughout the entire gown lace medallons of finest Valenciennes were introduced. Around the hips were also groups of the graduated cords. The bodice was a very effective bolero, with modish little tabs of lace and lavender louisine. extending down the front on either side and outlining a tiny vest of white chiffon. The sleeves were of elbow length, with a quite full Valenciennes drop as a finish. In I the collar the lace medallions and lavender silk were combined, and there was a high crushed girdle of the same soft silk. I A Hanritiniuc Wrap.

Wide strings, too, ar< nearly always to be seen, and giv< the hat a quaint. Old World appear ance that is infinitely alluring.

A SERMON FOR SUNDAY |AN " ELOQUENT DISCOURSE BY THE REV. A. B. SIMPSON. Subject: The Manifestation of the KInp? The^Kecojrnition?Lord of the Temple ?The Children'* King?Cnrse of the King:'?The Sceptre of the Kingdom. New York City?:The following ser[ Jnon was preached Sunday by the worldfamous head of the Christian and MissionI ary Alliance, the Rev. A. B. Simpson. His I subject was "The Manifestation of the King," and his text was: Tell ye the ! daughter of Zion, Behold thy King cometh I unto thee meek, and. sitting upon an ass, J and a colt, the foal of an ass.?Matthew , 21:5. j The time had now come when the Lord ; Jesus was to be publicly manifested as the | son ofJDavid and the King of Israel. Hith j erto He had refused the demands ox tne 1 multitude, 'who, after His Galilean mirai cles, had tried "to take Him by force and make Him a king;" but now as the end draws near it is proper that He should literally fulfil the announcements of ancient prophecy, and for a brief moment, at least, appear as the heir to David's throne and the answer to all the Messianic hcpes of Israel. I. The Recognition of the King. It was Ktrange that the first to recojnize Him as j Israel's King should be two blind beggars. I That which the rulers of Israel, with all their wisdom, failed to comprehend, was ! discovered by poor old Bartimeus and his blind companion. Calling Him by His Mes; eianic name, they cried, as the procession i pressed by, "Jesus, Thou Son of David, nave mercy on us!" When Jesus heard I that name He instantly ordered the pro; cession to halt, and, calling them to Him, granted their petition like a king, bidding them receive their sight and follow Him in the way. So still it is ever true. "Thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent and revealed them unto babes." The wisdom cf the world and even the culture of theological science have blinded men to the 1 vision of God, and it is the lowly and often illiterate to Tvhom the Holy Ghost reveals "the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven" and the blessed hopes of the coming once more of our glorious King. How did these blind men know that Jesus was the Son of David? With their inner senses they felt after Him until they found Him. It is so still that the hungry heart finds the Saviour. Reaching out in cur darkness and sense of need, groping for One who we feel can meet and satisfy our r.eed, we press our way toward the light even as the blind nan, who, while he cannot discern the objects before him, can see vaguely at least the glare of the light and press closer to it. Even so we* can press toward God, and He will meet the seeking soul and reveal Himself in the vis ion of light and love even as He did to then. Seeker for Christ, follow the light vou have and He will give more as ycu follow on. and you, too, will hear Him say, "Receive thy eight, thy faith hath made thee whole." II. The Manifestation of the King. Ancient prophecy had foretold the coming of the King of meekness, truth and love, and His triumphal entry into Jerusalem was a striking fulfillment. Zechariah especially had literally described the scenes portrayed in this chapter. "Rejoice greatly. O daughter of Zion, shout, 0 daughter of Jerusalem, behold thy King Cometh unto thee. He is just and having salvation, lowly and riding upon an ass and upon a colt tne foal of an ass." (Zechariah 9:9). For the first time in His earthly ministry, our Lord permits Himself to be borne by the beast of burden, which had always been recognized as the bearer of kings. Riding upon a little colt never ridden before, draped with the garments of His disciples as they walked beside, and accompanied by the mighty multitude surging up from the city at this, the Passover time, when the population of Jerusalem was multiplied tenfold, He slowly descended from Bethany toward the city. At every etep the enthusiasm of the crowd grew higher. Cutting down branches from the palm trees they strewed them in the way, and even their garments they flung in homage at His feet, while their voices rose to a mighty shout as they cried in the language of an old prophetic Psalm, "Hoeannah to the Son of David, Hosannah in the highest." But His own demeanor was in strange contrast to all these scenes of tumultuous excitement. Truly, He came as the King of meekness, lowliness and love. This became 6till more apparent when the city suddenly burst upon their view, and the sight of it drew from Him an outburst of sorrow and compassion, and amid all that pageant of popular acclamation He gave way to bitter tears and lamentations ov#?>>L i aIi Ufl i rorvflrN / ? l r? rr t.\lC <-CL UWJ1 UUUJ1I tYIUCU Xic oan niij/viiuiiij upon the scenes that lay spread before Him in all their glorious beauty. But the procession swept on, and in a little while He entered the city and the Temple. His triumphal entry into Jerusalem was the foreshadowing of that glorious time when He shall comc again as Israel's long expected Messiah and take His place upon the throne of David, never again to leave it. It is also typical of His entrance upon the throne of the individual heart wnen we receive Him as our Lord and King. The little foal on whom no man had sat before is the exquisite type of the heart that gives Him its exclusive affection. He comes to reign* not as tyrant, but as a King of gentleness and love in all the attractive attributes so finely set forth in the ancient picture that we are considering. He does not come to repress, but to Batisfy. He does not dominate us as a despot, but He meets all the needs and longings of our being, and 60 blends with our nature and our will that we become His willing subjects and the very partners of His kingdom and His throne. Have we thus received Him and known Him as our King? III. The King: of Zion and the Lord of the Temple. Immediately upon entering the city He passed through the gates of the Temple, and repeated the miracle of its cleansing which had formed the first chapter of His early .Tudcan ministry. The [ difference between this miracle and the former is that then He called it His Father's house; now "My house." He was now taking the position of being Himself the Lord of the Temple and the true theocratic Head of the kingdom. A little later the phrase was changed again. As He left that Temple: after His solemn warnings and judgments pronounced against tne false rulers and leaders of Israel, He declared "Yoar house," Mine no longer, "your hcuse is left unto you desolate and Se shall not see Me again until he shall say lessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord." The cleansing of the Temple was occasioned by the abuse which was ma'de of its courts by a class of money brokers and cheap traders, who took advantage of the people's desire for silver change in order to pay the half shekel offering which was required of every one entering the Temple, and out of this there grew up a regular business and a large class of men who, at exorbitant rates of usury, supplied the silver exchange to the worshipers as they crowded into the courts without having provided themselves with the requisite coin. Another class of tradesmen in like manner filled up another part of the court with their filthy stalls lor the supply of doves and other animals lor the sin offerings and burnt offerings of the daily sacrifices. j l'hese also were sold at esoroitant pncee for the convenience of the worshipers, but | really for the gain of the dealers. As our Lord looked upon this unseemly J *pecta?le in the house of God, His indigi nationiwas aroused, and, taking a whip of Small cords. He drove them out, overturning the tables, ordering the dove cotes immediately removed, and driving them before Him under such a spell of fear that they forgot everything but the means of escape from His holy wrath. This act was \ final assumption on His part of the highest authority, not only in, but even above the Temple and its worship. The same high place He still claims in the Church of God and the individual heart. The abuse of the Temple courts of old have, alas, been more than paralleled in the history of Christendom. It was the Bale of indulgences in the time of Luther for the enrichment of the ecclesiastical parties ihat brought about the Reformation. The kind of sic here described is not ?ecaJiu busiaeae in its jowa place, but the j : doing of things in the name of religioa which are prompted by mercenary motives. The preaching of the gospel for the sake of gain, wrong financial methods in supporting the church, the desecrating of the house of God by social and secular entertainments and methods of raising money which appeal to the selfishness and frivolity of man, and the using of Christianity in any way as a cloak of covetousness, as an advertisement of business, as a means of social preferment or secular gain?these are things which are so common on every side of us that i.ne hearts of many of God's children have been filled with humiliation and sorrow, and moved to earnest prayer for the coming of the King once more to cleanse His Temple and purge from Hig church these shameful profanations. The 6econd cleansing of the ^ Temple would seem to suggest that before the Lord's coming there is to be a profound work of sanctification among the people of God answering to that first cleansing of which we read so fujly in the early chapters of the Acts of the Apostles. Still more fully does it apply to the individual experience cf the Christian. Here, too, there is a second cleansing which the Lord comes to bring when He Himself enters the consecrated heart, not only saving, but sanctifying and separating us unto Himself ia a deeper sense than we can possibly know, even in the early joy of conversion. Have we received this second cleansing? IV. The Children's King. This was not an ordinary crowd, where the children always leve to be in front, but it was a genuine outburst cf heaven inspired love and loyalty that made them cry, "Hosannah in the highest." For the Lord Jesus Himself bore testimony to the genuineness of their praise and indeed gave it the highest place over all others as He poted the ancient Scripture, "Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings Thou has perfected praise." Others might join in the acclamations bocausj of the contagious influence of an excited multitude, but theirs was "perfect praise." As usual the Pharisees were ready to scorn their juvenile enthusiasm, but the Lord Jesus was also ready to vindicate them as He had once before. Let us never forget that Jesus is the children's Kinar. By and by. when -we welcome Him to His heavenly throne, we shall find that a vast proportion of that ransomed crowd will consist of little children. Let us train our little ones to know Him and crown Him as their King. # The word used here in their childish praise is the Hebrew word "Hosannah." It is not quite the same as Hallelujah, the usual expression for worship and praise. Literally it means "Lord save us." Our Hallelujahs must begin in Hosannahs. Even the children, too, must learn that they are sinful children, and that they also require His cleansing blood, and only as they accept it and honor it will their Hosannahs become Hallelujahs, and the Lord pronounce their homage "perfect praise." V. The Blessing of the King. Immediately after Christ's triumphal entry into Jerusalem and His cleansing of the Temple, we read these significant words, "and the blind and the lame came to Him in the Temple and He healed them." Purification always leads on to power. The cleansing of the Temple was followed by the healing of the sick and the revelation of the freat and good Physician. So, still, it will be found in our personal experience. This was not a momentary gleam of divine beneficence over a dark and suffering world, but Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, to-day and forever. "And warm, sweet, tender even yet A present help is He And love has still its Olivet And faith its Galilee. The healine of His seamless robe Is b/ our beds of pain. We touch Him 'mid life's pain and strife And we are whole j^gain." But, of course, all this awaits its perfect fulfilment in that happier time when the King shall come to His own again "and the ransomed of the Lord shall return and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads; they shall obtain joy and gladuess, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away." Then, when this earth is purged of all iniouity, will it be also true the inhabitant shall no more say. "I am sick, and the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity." "Come, Lord, and take away The sin. the wrong, the pain. And make this blighted world of ours Thine ocn fair world again." VI. The Curse of the King. But the King has not only blessing, but also judgment in His mighty hand. The only miracle of judgment recorded in all the life of Jesus Christ immediately followed these incidents. It was the cursing of the barren fig tree, to which He came seeking fruit and encouraged, to expect it by the luxuriant leaves that covered Its branches: but lo! there was "nothing but leaves," and He pronounced upon it the withering words t at left it leafless ani dead. This '-as, of course, a type of the fruitless nation that He had already referred to under the parable of the Barren Pig Tree, and it forecasts the solemn judgment that awaits every professed follower of Christ who shall meet Him at last with empty hands and fruitless life. But there is a beneficent aspect, even in the curse of the King. It tells us of One " -i '? ^ ? J uiau nas xutr uowcr lu uuiinume auu ucotxvj the things which we are unable to cast out of our lives. There are fig treeR of sinful habit 'and physical disease which our human strength cannot throw off alone. Oh, how glad we are sometimes to have a God who is "a consuming fire," and from whose presence Satan, sin and sickness flee away. He tells us we may enter into His destructive power against these things and hand over to,His flaming sword adversaries and obstacles too great for us to overcome. "I am so glad/' said a little child once, "that I have a God thaj can shake the world." Our Christ is not all soft and easy benevolence. Back of His gentleness is an arm of micht and a holiness as inexorable as the lightnings of the sky. Oh! sinner, whatever eise you dare, beware of "the wrath of the Lamb." VII. The Sceptre of ^je Kingdom. In the closing verses of our lesson, chapter 21, verses 20 to 22, the Lord reveals the secret of His own power and tells the disciples how they may share it also, The secret of it is faith. "If ye have faith and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but, also, if ye shall say unto this mountain, be thou removed and be thou cast into the sea, it shall be done; and all things whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive." And so He passes over to us His sceptre, and tells us that we may exercise the same omnipotence of faith through which He wrought His mighty works. It was by faith that He overcame and became for us the Author and Finisher of our faith." But we maj exercise the same faith, too. Some time in that coming kingdom we shall be like Him and exercise a power over the universe of God, of which, could we fully realize it now, we would be amazed and appalled. But He is training us now in the use of this mystic 6ceptre, and teaching us the lessons of that faith of which He once said, "All things are possible with God, all things are possib.e unto him that believeth."' We have but touched it3 borderland, beloved. There are great continents of faith and power and prayer for us yet to explore. "Lord, teach us to pray,' help our unbelief and give us '"the faith of God." | A Boy of Character. Nearly thirty years ago a boy was confirmed and nartook of the holv communion with the older people. The next day he went to school, and at recess some of those boys who like to serve the dfevil formed a ring about him and cried out: "Oh, here is a boy Christian!" What did the boy do? Get angry, kick, strike or swear? Not at all. He quietly looked the mocking boys in the face and said: "Yes, boys, I am trying to be a Christian boy. Isn't that right?" His tempters knew that he was right and felt ashamed. They broke up the persecuting ring and went to play with the brave young Christian. I call him the brave young Christian. I call him brave because there are many men who could more easily storm a battery than stand to be mockea by the enemies of Jesus as meekly ae that little boy did.
