New York City.?The simple waisl
made with a becomingly shaped bertha
is the one always in demand, and il
is so becoming to the greater numbei
^ of womankind as to find ready acceptance.
This one, designed by May
Manton, is shown in ivory white
crepe messaline -with frills of the
material, and is exceedingly charming
and attractive, but can be utilized for
almost every material or tne season,
The list of soft and appropriate silk
is a long one, and there are also a great
many lovely wool and silk and wool
fabrics that are equally in vogue.
iWhen yoke and long sleeves are added
It becomes, of course, a much simpler
model and adapted to daytime wear.
These last are exceedingly handsomt
made of lace, but can be of tbe materia
trimmed or of embroidery or tuckec
taffeta or of almost any contiyistinj
material that may please the fancy.
The waist is made with a fitted lin
Ing, which is faced to form the yoke
and on which the full frouis and bacl
are arranged. The bertha is shapec

women spend their little all on the ac

a gown for a woman in moderate cir

times wearing, particularly if the gowi

Subject: " My Shepherd." ? ]
Brooklyn, N. Y.?At the Church of
he Messiah, the Right Rev. Bishop;
Seymour was the preacher Sunday J
norning. lie chose for his subject, J
My Shepherd," and his text was j'
'salm 1:23: "The Lord is my shepherd; :
herefore I can lack nothing," he said: |
We pass from the brightness of
Jhvistmas and Epiphany to the seaon
of Lent that closes with the darkless
of Good Friday. Ere we hid
Cpiphany goodby let us consider what
t tells us, namely, that our Saviour
ame to be the Saviour of all mankind.
Epiphany falls into two divisions: The
Jliristmas of the Jew and the Chrlstoas
of the Gentile. First, the Christoas
of the Jew, when the shepherds
ame as the representatives of the
hepherd nation; came called on by
n angel through whose dispensation
he law was given to the Jew;
ame to the manger; came to worship.
Lnd then the Gentile Christmas, called
3piphany, when the kings were led by
' ? A nrl
He Star 10 woramp mu cuiiu.
heu the fact that the Jew and the
Jentile alike fell down and worshiped
he little child, a baby, weaker than
he weakest, I mpy say, of all the
oung, and yet?Him by whom the
rorlds were made. It is indeed a wonlerful
spectacle to see the Jew and
he Gentile alike worshiping the babe.
Ve leave the angelic host that sang
ver Bethlehem and ; le brightness of
he star which brought the three kings
-at all events the kings of the East
vorshiped the little babe with approbate
gifts?for the transition period
if Lent.
Could I do better than ask yon, with
oySelf, to consider our personal reponsibility
in the w^-ds of the text:
The Lord is my shepherd; therefore
in T inek nothlne?" Here is a dec
nration which may make or not. as
re choose, for the possessive pronoun
s Intensive?"my," as though It were
omething that we loved, as jewels of
arth?"they are mine; I own them."
>o:"The Lord Is my shepherd." and
lased upon that declaration Is the
act; "therefore can I lack nothing."
?here 1s no word which more frequently
falls from our lisp than "I." It Is
he shortert word in human speech?
i single letter?becnuso it brings to
he surface personality. Go whither
ou will, on every side you will hear
oea, women and child uttering "I."
I" Is to each one the centre of the
iniverse; everything radiates from it
nd everything comes into it. Aud this
s right in its way, only sometimes it is
xagjrerated and we have what we
all selfishness. But I am not dislosed
to criticise that fust now, only
o say that this pronoun "my" grows
>ut of ttt persouiu pronoiu "I," beause
it deuotes ownership?"my."
^.nd we may say, the poorest of us,
Irst we own ourselves: "I, myself; 1
lelong to myself," and it is on the
>asis of that, claim t':at we have the
vars for independence, for liberty or
lersonal right, and men resist the idea
if being owned by the others, and premlnently
In .this land of freedom

save not time to analyze the worth of
he claim, for it is immense: '.'Mine,

o studying it and yet has not fathomed
ts secrets. The medical profession is
argely experimental to-day. It has
oade wonderfql discoveries in fifty
'ears, and still it has not yet probed
his little mass of matter, the body, to
ts depths. And back of it is the mind,
he intellect, the memory that holds
he past and hope that grasps the fuure;
the mind that deals with premses
and conclusions and reasons. It
las no moral quality, it is pure intelt;ct.
Deeper down than it is the spirit,
he seat of conscience, the moral sense,
narvelous beyond expression! that eniihasizes
our nearness to God. Body,
uind and spirit bound up together and
tach of us claim to own that trinity
>lended into unity. "I, myself, I own
nyself."
Let us pass on. "My time;" that is.
'my life. These hours and days and
veeks are mine," and, hence, the wage
luestion, when men claim the right to
;ell their time for so much. So, you
tee, we claim the ownership of time.
)f course, it is not really ours. "Our
imes are in His hand." Still, we
:laim it. < "My years are so many."
3ence, we see another element of
yea 1th?time, opportunity. Then,
igain, character, "my character," emjhasized
by the name. A good name
s worth a good deal. We pass still
'urther: "My position in life, in so:iety,
my parentage, my surroundings,
ny friends and relative^-these belong
o me." And they are worth a great
leal sometimes. Then we come down
o that with which we are most faniliar:
"My material wealth, my stocks
tnd bonds, Jewels, wardrobe. They be
ong to me."
Now, that brings us to David's
;laim: "The Lord is my shepherd."
Fou do not give up the other things,
jut you make another claim, and that
rou can only make through Him -who
illows it, and He allows it by coming
lere to be reached and embraced, if
,'ou will, and loved. He revealed Himself
as one of us in order that through
ETim we, by the Holy Ghosr, might
each the Father, for He romes out
;rom the invisible to be visible. He
;an be touched and handled and seen
lere. H6 was here with a certain generation
when this was the case. We
nust not envy them, for we have a
jreater privilege than they. You renember
Thomas. Jesus said to him
ifter he had been so obstinate, "Bemuse
thou hast seen Me thou hast beieved;
blessed are they that have not
seen and yet have believed." We may
lelieve if we will, on the undoubted
:estimony of the ages, that Jesus after
leath was on this earth. He had
jassed through the graven gate of
leath and had consummated for man
he glory of the resurrection, and took
>ur nature through into heaven and
ilessed it on the throne of God, where
He ever remains as a magnet to draw
nen in love, so that we may say with
David, "The Lord is my shepherd,
Jierefore can I lack nothing."
Now, my friends. I wish to sny that
io other element of wealth can enable
js to say, "Therefore can I lack notling."
Try the experiment with which
ive are most familiar as a world rower,
tvealth in any form. I have been with
some of tlie wealthiest men that the
ast generation knew. I have seen
;hem in the hour of death and as they
lied the bonds and stocks o? wealth
fell down and passed hands. It could
lot buy an entrance ticket to Faradise
jor to heaven. If you would be wise
consider the end and nothing between.
Forecast the frture, not as bounded
jy the horizon of earth, but by Jhe
tvlth as, nay, conceived witn us, and
He goes through life's journey with us
is our friends do who survive us, but
they must part wRh uc as we bid them
the Inst farewell; but He, of whom
the Psalmist speaks, "The Lord my
Bhepherd," He dies with me, is buried
with me; He goes to Paradise with
my soul; He will be with me at the
last great day, and if I have been
loyal and true to Him, He will welcome
me to His everlasting blessing;
He will be my advocate and plead His
sacrifice to take away my sins.
Observe that the religion which
Jesus gives us embraces the whole of
life. There is no other religion that
does. You may divide them into religions
that appeal to pleasure, "the lusts
of the flesh," and the religions that appeal
to the pride of intellect. Take
the ancient Saduceeism, the medieval
Mohammedanism, and the present-day
Mormouism. They are the flesh in
religions. They cannot begin to tell
upon mankind until passion shall develop
In manhood and womanhood.
Take the intellectual systems of Greece
and the philosophies of the present day
that appeal to the Intellect, and a
man is almost half way upon the
journey of life before they touch him.
Take Christianity; where does it begin
y With conception, with birth, infancy,
childhood, youth, manhood, In
health, in sickness, in death and the
resurrection and the life eternal In
the nrpcpnrp of the ereat White
Tiirone. Christianity embraces the
religion of life. Does It appeal simply
to the body? No. But It appeals
to the body, the intellect and the eoul.
Remember the declaration of St
John, "the disciple whom Jesus loved."
He jsays: "The Word was made flesh,
and dwelt among us, and we beheld
His glory, as of the glory of the only
begotten of the Father, full of grace
and truth." He embraced the whole
of man. The Word was made flesh,
but with that was Intellect and spirit,
and so He was a complete and perfect
man. This morning we were joined together
hand In hand in the prayers offered
by your rector, but when we
come to the creed, how is It? The husband
drops the hand of the wife, the
father of the child, the friend of the
friend, and each for himself, as In
th? Day of Judgment, stands on his
own feet and says, "I believe." It Is
a personal act. "me i^oru is my
shepherd; therefore can I'lack nothing."
There Is one element of wealth
on which we can rest, and which will
enable us to say "We shall lack nothing."
Without our Saviour we shall
lack everything when we come to die.
I care not who we are or whether we
have been clad in the purple of kings
or the splendor of jewels, we shall be
stripped stark naked and go up naked
into the presence of God. We shall
lack nothing if we can say from the
depths of our soul, "The Lord is my
shepherd." Then when the end comes
we shall be able to say: "Thy mercy
and loving kindness?Thy mercy for
forgiveness; Thy loving kindness for
my needs?shall follow me all the days
of my life, and I shall dwell in the
house of the Lord forever." There is
no dwelling place here. I was once a
rector in Brooklyn, but where are my
parishioners now? Most of them are
gone. Within the last two months
two of my classmates in Columbia are
gone. And there are but few of those
I knew In the lecture room left. There
Is no dwelling place here. It is a cheat
we put upon ourselves when we talk
of houses as dwelling places. They
are not. Qod grant, my brothers, that
it may be our lot to "Dwell together
forever in the house of the Lord,"
which will be our eternal home.
The Power of Couiclenee.
It is a strange and solemn power
which cor.science wields. In your secret
soul you commit a sin. It is a
mere passing thought, perhaps. No
hnmon ptb hna rppti It. no tnntrne will
ever speak of it, yet even in the dark
you blush at it You are degraded in
your own eyes. You feel guilty and
wretched.
And this guilty -wretchedness does
not pass away. It may at any time revive.
Conscience comes to us in lonely
hours. Wakens us in the night. It
stands at the side of our beds and says,
"Come, wake up and listen to me!"
And there it holds us with its remorseful
eye and buried sins rise out of the
grave of the past. They march by in
melancholy procession, and we lie in
terror looking at them. Nobody knows
but ourselves. Next morning we go
forth to business with a smiling face,
but conscience has had its revenge.?
Itev. James Stalker.
The Busy Watchmaker.
A watchmaker who enlisted for the
war thinking that he might earn a little
when off duty, took some of his
tools along with him. But he found
so many watches to mend that he forgot
he was a soldier. One day he was
ordered into battle. He looked rbout
him in consternation "and exclaimed:
"Why, how can I go? I have ten
watches to mend?" Many of our excuses
and sometimes our reasons,
which we try so hard to be conscientious
about, If correctly translated,
would read: "Why, how can I read
my Bible and pray every day? How
can I be true to my religious duties!
I have something else to do."
What We Can Do.
God has not given us vast learning
to 6olve all the problems, or unfailing
wisdom to direct all the wanderings
of our brothers' lives; but He has given
to every one of us the power to be
spiritual and by our spirituality to
lift and enlarge and enlighten the
lives we touch.?Phillips Brooks.
Spiritual Life,
A soft snap is Satan's trap.
A failure to make a living is not a
fitting .to preach the gospel of poverty.
Some men win ieei cneHp ?ueu ujcj
read tlieir own advertisements at the
Judgment,
Preaching dogmas is fighting the
devil with the scabbard instead of with
the sword.
The modern idolator falls down before
the work of his own imagination
instead of that of his hands.
The mighty God is a tireless God;
He faintcth not, neither is weary.
This is brave doctrine, then, that a
tireless deity attends humanity amid
all its struggles and hardships, and attends
it to aid, to soothe, to cheer, to
purify, to redeem, to save.?C. Silvester
Home.
I found something within me that
would not be sweet and patient and
kind. I did what I could to keep it
down, but it was there. I besought
Jesus to do something for me, and
when I gave Him my will He came
into my heart, and took out all that
would not be patient, and then H?
shut the door?George Jb'oi.
There is a powerlessness of utterance
in our blood that we should Gght
against, and struggle onward towards
expression. We can educate ourselves
to it if we know and feel the necessity;
we can make it a Christian duty,
not only to love, but to be loving; not
only to be true friends, but to show
ourselves friendly. ? Harriet Beecher

vli,, 13-29?GoMen Text, James S.?
22? Memory Ver?e?, 24-25?Topic:
Counsels in Character Bmldlnc*
I. The false and the true (vs. 15-20).
Jesus has just been speaking of the
narrow entrance into His kingdom #nd
the broad way which leads do?rn to
death; He now turns His attention to
the false guides which lead men astray.
15. "Beware." Be on your guard;
look out for. "False prophets." Who
will deceive you and lead you into the
broad way. "Sheep's clothing." A
symbol of deceptive, wicked men putting
ou the garb of piety. See 2 Cor.
11:13-15. "Inwardly," etc. Under their
outer covering they hide hearts like
wolves, and are ready to tear and destroy.
16. "Know them." Their real
nature will soon appear, and their false
doctrines will be detected. "Their
fruits." The moral tendency of their
lives and doctrines.
17, 18. "Good tree?corrupt tree."
The comparison of men to trees frequently
occurs in the Bible. '
19. "Hewn down." To this day in
the East trees are valued only so far
as they produce fruit. "Cast into the
fire." Fire is the symbol of utter'destruction.
II. Mere profession not sufficient
(vs. 21-33). 21. "Not every one."
Christ is here laying down the trur.
tost of nr?mitt!>r><"><i tho kfnn'rirnil
of God. He lias just told them that
they must enter in through a narrow
gate and walk a narrow way, and now
He intimates that many will seek to
gain admittance on the ground of mere
profession. "That saith?Lord, Lord."
True religion is more than a profession.
We may acknowledge the authority of
Christ, believe in His divinity and accept
His teachings as truth, and still
without the love of God in the heart
we shall be shut out of heaven. "Kingdom
of heaven." God's spiritual kingdom
where Christ reigns in the hearts
and lives of men. 22. "Many." Not
merely an occasional one, but the number
will be astonishingly large. "In
that day." The judgment day. The
day when the final accounts shall be
brought in, and when each shall receive
his just desert. See Acts 17:31;
Rom. 14:10; 2 Cor. 5:10. "Prophesied."
As the whole gospel is a real prophecy,
foretelling the vast future of the human
race?death, judgment and eternity,
so every preacher is a prophet.
23. "I never knew you." As My
disciples. How sad! From this, we
see how easy it is to be deceived. Many
are trusting in the church, their good
iwme, their generosity, their great
gifts, their employment In the ministry.
their self-sacrifice, their devotion
to the cause, etc., etc., while at heart
they are not rieht with God and at the
last great day will be cast to the left
hand. They are destitute of the love of
God, wnich is the all-essential (1 Cor.
13:1-3). "Depart from Me." Such belong
to the left hand?consigned to the
regions of darkness and despair.
III. The two builders (vs. 24-27. 24.
"Therefore." Jesus now proceeds to
Impress the truth by a very striking illustration.
"Whosoever hearetb." See
R. V. "Both classes of men hear the
' word. So far they are alike. In like
manner the two houses have externally
the same appearanpe, but the great
day of trial shows the difference."
"Doeth them." Thus making them the
real foundation of his life. "Will liken
him." St. Matthew who, living
near the lake, had often witnessed
such sudden floods as are described,
uses vigorous language and draws the
picture vividly. "A wise man." Prudent,
far-sighted?a man of understanding
who looks ahead and sees the danger
and makes use of the best means
of avoiding it. The wise builder is the
one who hears and obeys the words of
i Christ. "Built his house." His char,
acter: himself. Each man possesses a
house which is his absolutely, and for
trhlr?h Iid qIaha 4c mcnnriciV*1a TTr>n??
I <*f uioi uv iiivu^ JO icopv/uiaiuiCi upuu
I a rock." Our rock is Jesus Clirlst (Psa.
1 | 118:22; Isa. 28:1(5; 1 Cor. 3:11). He is
I the sure foundation. As we centre
i | our faith in Him, and build according
. 1 to the maxims which He has laid
i down we shall be safe. 25. "The raiu
i ?beat." So tempests and storms of
i afflictions, persecutions^ temptations
and all sorts of trials beat against the
! soul. "It fell not." The religion o'
Jesus Christ in the soul will stand
every test. The emblem of a house to
represent the religious life is very appropriate.
2U. "DoeMi them not." Fails to do
, what he knows he ought to do; neglects
them; or professes to do and do5s not.
| "Foolish inau." He was short-sighted
! ! and allowed present pleasure, gratiti.
cation and profit to so fill his life that
J he failed to look beyond to the result
J of his course. "The sand." The sand
represents the self-life. 27. "It fell."
So falls the sinner. The floods arc
| wearing away his sandy foundation,
and soon one tremendous storm shall
[ beat upon him and he and his hopes
,.1-filial! forever fall. "Great was tht
i fall." How great is the loss of th*
soul! What a terrible fall for a soul
created in the image of Cod, and witli
all the glorious possibilities before it ot
? a life of bliss forever with Christ, ti
; be cast to the left hand at the last day.
IV. The people astonished (vs. 28,
29). 28. "These ssivinsrs." The ser
J nion just preached. ""Astonished."
, The teachings ot' .Tesus nil through His
, life excited admiration, wonder am1
amazement. -.J. "Having authority.'
His power Ja.v in Himself (ind in His
life. By His speaking with authoritj
may be meant. 1. That the truth Hi
spake came with authority. -J. Thai
the majesty and power with which lit
spake gave Him authority. "Not a.<
the scribes." He did not speak like a
i common interpreter, but with the aii
of a prophet.
