The 5 trimming also is a novelty and consists < A LATE DEJIQN B ' u I I ^ of rucbings of the material gathered i through the middle and finished with j tiny silt braid over the stitching. In addition to outlining the yoke and concealing the closing at the front it is continued round, tie lower edge fall- 5 ing pver the belt to give a bolero sug- 1 testion.

One of the loveliest dresses is of fcatiny Liberty silk in delicate pink. And it might well serve as a costume for a bal masque if the fair wearer Lad a floral headdress, though it is not tt all loud and none too showy for any evening wear. This dress is a flounced affair, the skirt being in triple flounce effect. Each flounce is cut out in petal shape around the edge, and between I these petals another petal of palest pink chiffon is introduced. The petals are edged with tiny pink sequins and the veinings are done in glistening Bilks. Three shaped flounces form the elbow sleeves, and the pretty blouse bodice is likewise formed of three overlapping sections, these like the skirt flounces being edged in this petal effect. | Beits and Bodice*. Belts and bodices of all sorts and descriptions are worn with waists ot dinner and ball gowns. Silk, satin and ' velvet on the bias are in favor, or ribbon, but the long sash ends have not ruet with popular approval, and the Dodice is fastened with buckles or fancy buttons. The different colored bodices considered so smart last sea- 6 son will be as fashionable as ever, and y jertainly they are a great addition to a almost any gowD, besides making it * ,, i _ tyTnuyca.

His subject was "Frejj ? lora in Christ," and the test was fron tl Jojbn ii.: 13 and 14: "But as many altl eceived Him to them gave He the righlgj o become children of God, even to tbemoi ;hat believe on His name, who were borriti lot of blood nor of the will of the fleshVn lor of the will of man, but of God." Mr-C Rudd said: u Can I do as I please ? Or must I will to (] lo as another pleases? Am I a free agent >r are limitations placed upon me? Is liberty unrestrained freedom, or am I the nore truly free when my actions and vords are controlled by divine laws, imposed willingly upon man by his own enightened self? To answer these questions intelligently, learly and helpfully takes us at once into hat held of Christian sociology and of the nterrelation of man with man and of man vitb his God which so engages the atten ion of men everywhere to-day. xne piace ind duty of the church is very clear. It s to show men in the spirit of candor, of :ympathy, of open mindedness, of tolertnce, that the word of God gives lis great flemental teachings by a master thinker ind reasoner, who was divine and who .laims the right to influence men. The so alled great problems of iubor and capital vill find a permanent solution only by he arbitrament of the Man of Galilee. But it is your duty and mine to remind rarselves and others that according as we iquare ourselves with the requirements of jod in Christ shall the problems of life ?e mot and be grappled and worth while esuits be achieved. We are here to-day to ask entrance into ,he light. We are here to know more ruth, so that truth may make us free. IVe long to know how to be happily and contentedly free. To have our freedom io used that everywhere men shall xecoglize it as the article they wish, and, possessing it with us, we shall together make nen strong. Bearing one another's burlens we shall surely fulfill in part the law ;f Christ. The'gospel of St. John, simile yet profound, shows us how to gain reedom in Christ. It reminds us what is o necessary to recall in this easy going, ion-thinking age, viz.. that in no real and 1 **!"* mow r>V?\1 Pron nf fln/1 JCI IliailCllO &CIJOC (UV ilitil vuuuiwu VJ. V.V.V* jntil Christ has made them such by vital mion with Him. That we have 110 right o call ourselves children until God Himself transfers that right to us by an act of vill and obedience on our part, so recoglized by Christ., who has in the very proess of our obedience done His part. To laim the friendship of another is not to jossess it. To say of Christ and our rela,ions to Him. as we say of some well:nown people, "Oh, ye?. I know Him well; tie is a warm personal friend," when in eality little more than a formal introduction has been given, is in essence to know >nly about Him, and that in a formal ;ense. instead of being divinely coramieiioned by the living holy spirit of God o be a child of God" and an heir with Jhrist to eternal life. Manifestly, then, his is an important matter to us allien to the careless, thoughtless ones who nake up a part of every audience. Have ve any right to call ourselves "children )f God?" And if we have, what has God, jy His regenerating spirit, done in us? It was our New England poet, Lowell. \ho said: The thing we long for?fhr.t we are For one transcendent moment. But even the poet fails to be true to act unless we have such a definite, genune faith in God's power and willingness :o give us Himself and to make us sons md daughters of the living God, that we eceive Him and by that act avail of Him is our Saviour not only for one transcend>nt moment, but for all the moments for he rest of time, and in that act we are )orn of God, and by that act we are jiven the right to become?aye, to be begotten as children of God. Almost immediately in this sublime, scholarly. and heart searching gospel of fohn, that great disciple, speaking the vords df Christ Himself, begins by dividng mankind into the same two divisions vhich are represented in this audience, md in every audience, viz., those who lave received Him and those who, though ,hey were His own by creation, received iim not, by a regenerating faith. And I vant just now, if possible, to avoid ab;truse, moss covered theological terms and jhraseology, and to clothe these burning ssues in simple, clear Bible language, but tr? remind nnrsplvpa thnt nany of us arc longing to get out into the >pen sky, in some oi the old fashioned, lecessary doctrines of the word of God. iVe have gotten some of the choicest and nost essential statements of divine truth leclouded, and we are not quite sure vhere we are. May God's spirit enlight'n and allay doubt and uncertainty on ,hese truths this day, i -d allign us all n the comforting strength of His own ;onship. And I frankly believe, my broth:r man, we cannot be satisfied in this subime hour by turning to the poets, much as hey will uplift and rest us. Even tuougn rou turn to Emerson, who has been so exilted and almost deified by some in New England Unitarianism and ask him about nan, and in one place he will tell you: 'A man is the whole encyclopedia of facts, ['he creation of a thousand forests is in me acorn, and Egypt. Greece, Rome, Saul, Britain, America, lie folded already n the first man." \es, potentiality lies ?nfolded, but naught else can bring it to surface and to living power save the touch >f Christ the Redeemer of Manhood. Nor loes the statement of Carlyle satisfy me, or you recall in hie essay on "characterStics," he says: "Man stands in the cenre of nature; his fraction of time encir:led by eternity, his handbreadth of space irm'rnl/i/1 V*ir T env tliia / rn ,UV.UV.I^U *JJ iilllltltuuv. M CUJ Wli.J VWi? . lot satisfy you. for you long to know how, rou can best live and expand, while you ire in this "centre of nature,'' and where md how you are to spend eternity. And ou turn to that beautifully human and eal poet, Robert Burns, and remember vith him "'That man's a man for a' that," md here you feel'that you may be argung in a circle, and if Burns had only ;nown more of the Man of Calvary, he vould have been saved many of the sins vhich blighted his whole life. Or you nay stand with that dear English poet, Jray, as from afar he beholds Eton Colege and exclaims, "Ah. tell them they are nen," and those words and this poet's onging, more nearly voice your own soul's vish, and you add, "Ah, tell them of the Jan. who became flesh and dwelt among is, that He might redeem men for Himlelf." It is to this Incarnate word that ve must turn if we are to be enlightened md satisfied. And few passages in God's vord speak, out more hope and immediate Jocoinrr than + tovf " Ac mflnv r?o rp eived Him, to them gave He the right o become children of God." But some one asks, what is the process >y which this is done? And I reply in he continuing words of this same verse: 'Even to them that believe on His name,'' Jut what is it to believe on His name? iVhat is faith? And we reply with Buxon: "'Faith ie the filial, trustful relation, phich the whole man, intellect, heart and pill, sustains toward the Lord .Jesus Christ." Christ 6aid to His disciples, 'Come ye after Me, and I will make you iehers of men." They obeyed. Heart, ntellect and will accepted and believed Christ to have the right and the power o communicate to them "sonship" of iod. Disciples of Him who walked among hem as theif Redeemer. And'when they tad given Hub that' simple confidence and iroved it openly by obeaience to His comaand of public confessipn of His claim, ;lad and-willing to be known-as < His folowers and co-workers, at' that moment yere they given the right to be the chilIren of God. Then were they born not f blood, nor of the will of the fleah, nor f the will of man, but of God. The genlineness of their faith and sonship was tteeted in various ways. To them salvaion in Christ was equipment for service o others. They did not doubt the diine personality of ShriBt. but thev ta 1? r. " . <." .; - - ' >wed Him.

More enemies have been slain by mercy than by malice. Chance Is one of the most profane words in our language. Real religion never has to advertise for a chance to do good. A man's title to glory does not depend on the glory of his title here. Men who are always on the make never make much of anything. An open denial of God may be better than an empty definition of Him. The light of one life shines farther than the brillance of a century's logic. The rainbow of love always looks best against the black clouds of hate.

George Ade on Bis Stage Ambitions. George Ade, the author of Ave pieces running simultaneously, is the man of the hour in theatrical circles, having eclipsed even Clyde Fitch in the rapidity of his rise as a playwright. Mr. Ade takes his success modestly and disclaims any desire to pose as a dramatist .of serious intent. "If I have any single ambition In reference to the stage," said Mr. Ade, "it is to depict every day American life in such a manner as to amuse the public and not offend good taste. If, incidentally, I can touch upon some of the weaknesses and foibles of the present moment without slandering my own countrymen, or holding our home people up to ridicule, the plays will have a value which never can attach to an entertainment that is merely farcical.
