New York City?Tbe popular surplice effect has penetrated even to the bathinc suit and the latest and snuirtest are made "with wide collars and separate chemisettes. The one illustrated is among the very best and most graceful and allows a choice of the sleeves that are gathered into bands or left loose and of a pointed er round collar. Again, the blouse can be joined either to the skirt or to the bloomers as may be preferred. In the case of the original the material is black Sicilian with trimming of broad banding, but available materials are many, serge sharing the honors with Sicilian, whiie taffeta is well liked by some people and color may be any-1 thing that one may prefer, although A Late Design 1 the darker tones air ield in the best j taste. The suit is made with the blouse,' bloomers aDd skirt. The blotise is finished with the big roll-over collar benetfth which the shield or chemisette is attached and is closed at the left of the front. The bloomers are the usual ones that are generously full without excessive bulk and are gathered at their upper edges. The skirt is cut in seven gores and is laid In a backwardturning pleat at each seam, which is stitched flat for a portion of its length. The quantity of material required for the medium size is ten yards twentyseven, six and three-quarter yards forty-four or five and seven-eighth yards fifty-two inches wide with eight and a half yards of banding. A Street Gown. The street gown which seems to be taking better than any other model is the princess skirt and short bolero jacket. The princess skirt is the antithesis of the fashionable pleated skirt. It is tieht fitting and reveals the lines I of the figure over the hips. The boleros are the slightest little affairs, many of them hardly more than capes, and the effects are all loose and informal. For Evening Wear. A pale pink liberty silk gown for evening had a box-plea ted skirt, the spaces between the pleats shirred on cords. The skirt was trimmed with Inch-wide tracks set far apart, with one wide band of lace set about at the knees. The waist was low-necked, and had a lace fichu, the ends of which fell half way down the skirt front. Coats Are Atlractive. Coats and cloaks are very attractive his year, though some of them seem )ver-trimined. Such a criticism might vith justice be made of n iineu coat ?een the other day. It was entirely ?vered with eyelet holes, and trimmed with point d'esprit. "wide Valenciennes lace and heavy twine-eolored renais- j sanee lace in great profusion. Th? I sleeves were short and full, with deep ! /-vf !?/ ./? fivin fhn nnint flVsnrit I and the waist had throe or four rows! of shirring to mark the waist line iD the back. The Craze For Matching | The craze for matching every detail of the costume has extended to handkerchiefs, which are offered with dainty colored borders and decorations. Yearly these are shown in the shops, but modish women do not lake to them extensively, and the white embroidered or lace-trimmed handkerchief i6 still the favorite. Of White Tttffeta. A pretty cloak of white taffeta bad a yoke and waistcoat of -white cloth, embroidered in bluo. The material was stitched round the yoke in small, loose pleats, which gave just sufficient fulness to the coat. Flowered Organdie. A flowered org-andie with large clusters of pale hydrangeas was much admired. The effect was a warm lavender, with plenty of pink in the color scheme. The skirt was very full and quite plain. Are StvlJsh. Soft finished taffeta, louisine and weaves that have not been in evidence for some years, such as gros grains, soft twills and Oriental silks, are in stylo. Morning Jacket. A graceful and becoming morning jacket is always certain to find a welcome, for no matter how many the wardrobes may include, there is always sure to be room for one more. This one is in every way desirable yet is absolutely simple and involves the very least possible labor in the making. In the illustration the material is lawn j with trimming of Valenciennes Inser>y May Manton. tion, but everything seasonable is appropriate for the design, batiste, linen and all the thinner washable materials while for the slightly cooler days the Scotch flannel and albatross are "well liked, with any pretty banding as trimming. Thi> inr-l>pf- Is mrwlf with fronts and back, tbe fronts being laid in pleats which are pressed into place for their entire length, while those at the back are stitched to yoke depth. The sleeves are in flowing style, gathered at their upper edges, and the big collar finishes the neck. The Quantity of material required for the medium size is four and a quarter yards twenty-seven, three and threequarter yards forty-two or two and three-eighth yards forty-four inches wide, with seven and a quarter yards of banding and two and a quarter yards of lace for frills.

THE fPULfPlT. I A BRILLIANT SUNQAY SERMON BY THE REV. ROBERT H. CARSON. Subject: Paul the FrcR?lier? Brooklyn, N. Y?Sunday in Grace Presbyterian Churcb, the pastor, the Rev. Robert H. Carson, took for bis subject "Paul tbe Preacher." His text was Acts xxiv:2o: "And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance and judgment to come. Felix trembled and answered, Go thy way for this time; when 1 have a convenient season I will call for thee." Mr. Carson said: This book of apostolic labors gives us a glimpse of Paid in many attitudes. We have him pictured before his conversion and after, and whether we see him at his manual occupation of tent-making, or in his frequent perils by land and sea, or addressing cultured audiences in splendid cities, or individuals iu palaces or in prisons? everywhere we see n ma a whom we instinctively know to be one of earth's choicest and noblest souls. Just now he is standing before a wicked king and his no,less wicked wife, and there is that in bis demeanor and his action which makes us proud of Christianity and its power. Too frequently weakness, with a raise gentleness ana cnariry, are considered the proper attendants of a Christian spirit, and ofttimes a Christian is slow of speech, or altogether silent in the presence of evi! lest he should show a boldness unbecoming in one who proposes himself to be a follower of Him who was meek and lowly. But there is no warrant for any such conduct in the example of Christ, or in the teaching of His apostles. Indeed, what strikes a reader m?st in this book of apostolic acts is the boldness of spirit -which the first preachers of the gospel exhibited. We see Peter standing in the presence of his own enemies as well as in the presence of the enemies of the Christ, and boldly accusing them of the murder of the Lord. And what said Christ Himself: "I came not to send peace on earth, but a sword." He was Christianity's founder, and what He was, so should His followers be. T')e Christian is to speak the truth in Jove, but in the presence of evil he must never be 6ilent r through fenr, nor mince his "word" to suit men's ears, nor pander to tneir likings, nor drt.ad their criticism. Apostolic boldness, then, is the first point that we would note in the words which we have chosen as our text. Paul is in the presence of a man who is master of his life. He speaks to a ruler whose word is law, whose nod is enough to seal his doom, and yet he speaks so as to make that monarch tremble. Ah, friends, a . man who knows his cause to be right can always afford to be courageous and bold. > Truth at all times is wondrous fearless and dreads no sacrifice, whether of ease or fame or even of life itself, if only God be honored and righteousness crowned. Look back on that sacred line of fearless witnesses for God and see liOw strongly this element of courage predominated. Of such was r Moses in the presence of Pharaoh, of j 6uch was Nathan in the presence of , David, of such was Elijah before r Ahab, of such was John the Baptist r before Herod, of such were the apos- A %les and martyrs and glorious company t of the reformers, Luther would go to the Diet of Worms and vindicate his r faith, though as many devils hindered t him as there were slates on the house- ( tops of Erfurt. When they laid John t Knox, the man who made Scotland, j in his grave they said: "There lies one y who never feared the face of man." And this fearlessness, this courage, need not be confined to the leaders alone. The humblest Christian may share, and should share, in this precious heritage. To this line of chosen souls?the very chivalry of the saintsbelong every man and woman who. like Ne*emia.>a, dares to say: "So will rot I, because of the fear of the Lord; who is willing in obedience to the dictates of an enlightened conscience to brave public opinion and even the loss of friendship in standing by what they consider right. Such are the salt of the earth. Such is the leaven that is yet going to leaven the whole mass. , Such are the men whom God and man pan trust, and such men are the liope ( of the world. Herein, indeed, is the t boldness of Christianity seen, and, , thank God. in all the ages of Christendom and in all the ranks of life men and women with their fearless courage have been found. It is comparatively easy to bear witness to truth when a large public sympathizes with you. When on all sides you are surrounded by thote who en- ' courage you with cheering words; when you have nothing to lose and everything to gain; when^the "offense of the cross." as Paul puts It, "has ceased." But when the public Is unsympathetic, when friends are lacking, when there is everything to lose and nothing earthly to'gain, then it is a Tjery different matter. Ob, beloved, bj our own strength and relying on our own arm we cant not stand. It is easy to say r.esist ' and stand fast, but Ave can do neither the one nor the other unless "We are 1 Dieauiuai in uitf laiuj, Hi xue IUIUS1 , of this wicked and untoward generation. when evils, both social and poli- 7 tical, are eating out the very life of 1 our nation, how shall we be courageous i and bold, how shall we do our part * to stem the torrent? .Surrounded by sin both in high places and in low, how shall we as followers of Jesus Christ get strength to do our duty? Confronted by temptation at every turn in the pathway of life, where shall we get courage to face the tempter and to say with boldness and with majesty, "get thee behind me, Satan?" In our own strength we cannot do It. To be a power for good, to be a factor in the upbuilding of righteousness, to overcome in the conflict with temptation, we must know God and trust God and love God as He is revealed in the face of Jesus Christ, and then we will be able to stand fast in the evil day. Such knowledge is the knowledge that we want, and it alone will make us bold and courageous as this poor prisoner who makes the monarch tremble. . So, in the words of our text we have, in the first place, a sample of ^ apostolic boldness, and in the second t place we have a sample of apostolic f preaching. s The wife of Felix was a Jewess J, whom he had persuaded to leave her \ lawful husband. She, doubtless, was a anxious to learn of this Jesus who j. had caused such a commotion among the people of her nation, and herein may have been the cause of the apostle's first invitation to the palace. It is said that the greatest wonder on ' earth is man himself, and indeed 1 J believe this to be true. Take, for in- j1 stance, this man, Felix, and lie is but ^ the type of a numerous family. No * man who walks the earth to-day who s may not find a representative in some Bible character, and if you diligently study the different characters recorded in the sacred book you can easily prove the truth of this statement, t Felix lived in gin. Paul hnew his man, a . i 1 i * *" 'ti*' ifi'if titi ifiVfoVh md lie suited liie sermon to his audi* mce. I nm not sure that tiiat sermon vould escape criticism in tliese days. am of the opinion that many good 'ouis would say it was not evangeli:al. He was invited to preach con erning the faith in Christ, and his ;erni(j!i was on righteousness, temperince and judgment to come?topics j hat any good man of any faith might veil discuss. Many might say, is that Christian preaching? i say it is. and iiore lhan that, it is the kind that this ige needs, and we need it every day. f Paul had begun an argument respecting Christ's divinity, or resurrecion, or any kindred topic, he would irobnbly have had a most interesting liseussion with Felix, but think you hat he would have made him tivrable? Most men think that Christianity is heology. No: Christianity is morality n the light of eternity. And thru is lot the best preaching which delights is with its close reasoning and high peculation and profound theology: hat is the best preaching which makes is, if we are living in sin, turn uneasily n our seats and tremble as we listen o its truths. The law is our'sehoolnaster to bring us to Christ, and it is mly when conscience is aroused within is that we seek the grace which is in Christ and which cainc by Christ. The md of preaching is not to make men heologians. the end of preaching is to I mild up character, and while some of is may be far enough on the road to lear sermons on the deep things of -nrl T rim im+ noccimietip ivhpn T SflV hat. taking the world in Its totality, nost of us are still where we need to k; reasoned with concerning righteousless. temperance and judgment to :ome. "Preaching to the times" is a favorte expression nowadays. Its purpose ;eems to be that men are to be amused, is Felix had Paul in from the prison o amuse him. He and he alone >reaches to the times who makes us estless by showing us the demands of jiod's eternal law and then points the vay clear up to Calvary and to Him coi/l "fnm a nnfn \T<? nit T<> +hflt abor and are lieavy laden and I will rive you rest." These are eternal verlies and they fit all times. All others hange and pass away with the ehangng hour; social, political, aye, even heologieal questions have their days md cease to be, but the eternal need s forgiveness and the everlasting vant. rest for the soul. And so Paul reasoned of righteousless to a man living in sin. of teraperince to a woman who lived to gratify very desire and wicked passion, and >f judgment to come to two who never ooked beyond the present world?the ir.?.t steps, the first necessary steps to he pointing out of Him in whom alone s forgiveness and from whom alone ve have the power to live so that at -lis coming in glorious ma jest)' to udge the world we may not be put to ihame. And now, in the last place, we notice hat tills preacmng was convmcius* rhat is clear enough, for a man does lot tremble without occasion. A man loes not tremble in the presence of ipiritual truth except his intellect has >een reached and his conscience ouched. Paul did his duty, but Felix ihirked his and 'turned his back upon he truth. He trembled, but he did lot move. Are there not many men ike him with us to-day? "Go thy vay," said he. "when I have a convelient season I will send for thee." Is lot that what we often hear. But vben do those who say so And that hat convenient season ever comes? tVhat do we think of the man who in natters of this world, is given to puting off and waiting to another time? )ur worldly wisdom tells us that such t man will never come to any good md no one has any confidence in him. t'ou see through him, and smile at ail lis excuses for delay, and think you hat if a man cannot deceive his felows in this respect he can deceive Gcd ind his own soul? The Bible knows of 10 time DUt now. " \i>OW IS iue ua-eincu ime." And this is true not oniy of he greatest of all transactions?our cc optance of Jesus Christ?but of all the luties. that devolve upon us as Chrisian men and women. We may have o-day an opportunity of doing good, or >f receiving good. If we let it slip that loor that opened to us will shut, tnd it will never be opened again. Lost ipportunities do not return. Others nay come, but the lost ones come not igain. Let us, then, seize every opporunity. let us realize that the present inly is ours, and as we hear thp word >f life let us embrace it in its fulness ind live in its strength.
