' Light Blue Mall.
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.
A typical handsome wrap is tlius described:
It is of black Chuntilly
flouncing forty-two inches wide. The
lace was gathered full across the shoulders
and hung from a yoke of black
net shi-red and puckered into many
rows, cnch one marked by a small fold
of Bilk. A stole collar of maize satin
?was embroidered in blue, rose color
and black. The large sleeves were
gathered into a broad band of the
phirred net at the wrist, and had full
ruffles of rich white laf*e. The wrap
. was lined with delicately tinted puille
taffeta.

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.

to-day? He is presidept of a college and a
