I The Pui/o/t i A SERMON" tAerb/w j\t I Subject: The Claims of Authority. Brooklyn, N. Y.?Preaching at the Irving Square Presbyterian Church, Hamburg avenue and Weirfield street, on the above theme, the pastor, Rev. Ira Wemmell Henderson, Jook as his text Ex. 20:12, "Honor .Thy Father and Thv Mother." He 9 said: m The recognition by society and the individual of the authority of parH entage is at the centre of all the H theory of social government. The agreement of society that parents 9 may and should control the youth of their offspring is the foundation upon .which our system of social authority 9 is reared. The individual recogni tion of the ruling right of parents is 9 expressed in a larger sense in this 9 Republic in the submission of the 9 minority to the decree of the majori9 ty- The command speaks the truth 9 when it enjoins honor to parents as 9 the sure means unto long life. Small 9 success would we enjoy did we not 9kpay some heed to the mandates of m\ur elders. Little power would the 9 law of city, State or Nation exert; 9 over our lives were the fundamental 9 ideas of obcdience eliminated from 9 family life. The individual and that 9 Nation which has a poor sense of the q need for obedience is sure to meet an early aeam. me iuau ?uu ?uu c learn from the past will not live long to instruct his descendants. The State within whose boundaries the recognition of the rights of the law has fallen into disrepute will soon totter, fall and be dashed to pieces. The text calls to our minds three things: First, that children should honor those who are over them by birtli. Secondly, that parents should be worthy of honor from their children. Lastly, that, broadly speaking, the principle of obedience?that is to say, respect for law?must be manifested in all our civic life. "Honor thy father ana tny motner," says the commandment. In urging the need for honor it implies that obedience, respect and deference be yielded to those who are above us In birth. The man who doesn't honor a good father and mother is not much of a man. The first law of family life is that we should give honor to those who have given us lifo and that meed of love which we enjoy at their hands. The man who works lovingly and long for the welfare of his child/en, the woman who strives with motherly affection to make her home the pleasant harbor cf her children, both are entitled to and should receive the honor of their children. Honor implies obedience. The youth who obeys the wise mandates of a Eood parent can never fail or fall. The parents who speak out of the fund of a true experience can teach any youth the way to the happiest life, and their words should be law. Honor implies respect. It is not dignified to belittle the place and dignity of a good parent'. The youth who essays to speak with dogmatic assurance upon the full range of human problems pronounces himself a fool at the start. The disrespectful youth who disdains wise counsel and claims to know it all 1 will ere long find out that his au-; cestors can tell him at ltast one or j two things of which he is ignorant. IlUilUl liupiico UCiti tuvt. who is to he the true being that e all should be must learn first to yield primacy in all departments in life to ripe years Tull of wisdom and noble experience. The man who pushes his way into places where reserve should, very properly, be shown will sooner or later find that cheek doesn't " ?v.v checks, but rather rebuffs. We must, in our youth, yield honor, respect, obedience and deference to those who lead us worthily in the home. He who would lead must learn to obey. He who would gain honor must grant honor. The man who wish the respect of other men must first of all be respectful. A little yielding of the point or place to age does no man any harm. Deference is delishtful either in young or old. It isn't at all necessary for me to point tt> our youth the wrecks upon the shores of life who are monuments to dishonorable actions in the home. The gutters and the jails are all too full of men and women who refused to honor, to obey, to respect ?or to listen. On the other hand, the commandment forces en ethical duty on the parent. Many times men become criminals because of parental mismanagement and lack of wise, bound aiid pure leadership in the home. Honor be to whom honor is due. The man or the woman who demands honor from a child must be honorable?that is to say, worthy of honor. Parents must be respectable before they shall merit or gain their chil area s respect. Obedietce Is the due of that man who doesn't contravene the moral law or the laws of common sense?and the due of him alone. Ace deserves deference not on the basis of years so much as on the basis of wisdom. Parents are. many times more responsible for the lack of honor that children show them than are the children themselves. Honor in many minds begins and stops with obedience. Many parents seem to think that the subjection of the individuality of a child to their whim and will is the sum and total of obedience. Obedience consists in becoming as wnnV> f>*omcolv6c fx o nAccihln some parents eeera to think. Children cannot b? held down in that matter. Freedom must be allowed lor the exerci&e of individuality and personal preference and bent. Obedience must be given aud required only when a moral principle is at stake or the best interests of a child make it necessary that parental authority be enforced. Eut the unreasonable exercise of undue authority which many people exhibit in their home life i? pitiful?and the more so because the consequences are quite sure. The whole of honor is not bound up in obedience, uoeaience should not stifle individuality. Children have rights to -wise leadership 1 and unceasing parental love. Many times they receive silly government and no love?and whom shall vis jblame for the consequences? The wise parent will realize that 'as we grow older our ideas chanr and our perceptive powers strength"o hov nf fnnr wUl till. \jruiauiiv_c iui ?. j v*. awm* ??*** i hardly ever be the sort of advice the youth of fourteen will need.

Vi liicili )UU. X acu UXUOb jr vu HMVVU out. For If you do uot grow with and adjust yourself to the changing point of view and the increased vision of your child you soon will find you ore fast losing his respect. Give a child wise guidance! Study not how to make him a replica, a reproduction of yourself; but to lead him to be a distinct personality, possessed of strong individuality, molding by his own actions his being into the stature of the Son of God! Some one has said: "Who is to blame for the pitiable mite which children give in return for a parents' flood of love?" I do not know; but of this I am sure: if parents would cease to feel that they own their children in common with their horses, their pstates and their cat - 'r jr\r\+ oe m Q n V do lit!, 11 lUCJf nuuiu iiuvt u?, in varying degrees, treat their children as their property, the return of love would be far more adequate than it is." We know how true that is. And yet I fear that many of us do not know how to handle our own children. A good child asks not for more pocket money, or newer clothes, or a more sumptuous supply at the table?but for a richer love. It is useless to try to hold children with gifts. Children should be taught to yield honor through parental love. A man who attempts to bind his children to him with material possessions must surely fail. But the father and the mother?be they ever so unlearned and be they ever so poor?who give their wisest experience and richest love to the cultivation of the personalities of their children will find that a bond that neither time nor eternity can sever holds their children to their | sides. And if that won't?nothing | else win. i^ove is me luutueiuuc of life, the law ard the measure of values. Love is the force that draws soul to soul. The home that is ruled by love will be the seat of honor. For it is the abode of everything that is honorable, respectable, worthy of obedience and deference. But to carry the principle into its broadest application we must glance for a moment at the duty of honor and obedience to lav/, civil and moral. Here, as with the individual, the law mu^t be worthy of honor. The civil law to-day is not so highly respected as it should be. From ail parts of our country we read of lynchings, riots and miniature civiC wars all due to disrespect for law. And yet the laws are largely at fault ?and the enforcers of the law with them. When a murderer, guilty before men and God of heinous sin, mnv iiro the Inw to cheat the law. and prevent the execution of justice; when one man may buy off the law that sends another citizen to jail; when those who are sworn to enforce the law neglect their duty; we cannot say that individuals are entirely to blame for lack of deference to the law. The laws should be wise, sane, quick to act, equal in meting justice to all offenders. Thus only can it retain the respect of the governed. And we on our part are not to turn to "wild justice" when [the laws'are not to our taste, but 1 rather to the ballot box, there to see to it that good laws and the right men are set up over us to rule. But all honor for law is bound up with our early ideas and teachings, and in the home should be found the source of respect for law. Our Imperfect Consecration. "Ye are not your own" (I Cor. C: 2 0). The facts of wavering faith and cold affection, of imperfect consecration, show how little we have of God, and how little God has of us. We say that we are His, and live to please others. We profess to belong to another, and to that other we render fragments of our time and of our efforts. Hfs! and yet all day long never thinking of Him. His! and yet from morning till night never refraining from a thing because we know it is contrary to His will, nor spurred to do a thing that is contrary to ours because we know it is His. His! and yet we wallow in selfishness. His! and yet we life Godless! Christian men and women! it is only a little corner of your souls that really belongs to God. Alas! for the imperfections and incompleteness of our possession of God, of whom we hold but the merest shred, and of His possession of us. who has conquered such a little strip of the whole field of our nature.?Dr. Alexander Maclaren. Forgetfulncss and Forgiveness. An old man lay on his dying bed. Beside him were three of his sons. The father had taken each of his boys by the hand, and had spoken his last words of loving advice and farewell. When he had finished, one of the boys leaned over the dying man and, with much emotion, asked forgiveness for any harsh words spoken in the past. With a look of unutterable love, the father replied: "Oh, my boy, I forgot it all long ago!" When the prodigal (you and I) returns and confesses his sin, he find3 that his Faiher has forgotten it all long ago. While the confession is still on the penitent's lips, he is restored to sonship. " ? A Little at a Time. How often do we sigh for opportunities of doing good, whilst we neglect the openings of providence in little thing?, which would frequently lead to the accomplishment of most important usefulness! Dr. Johnson used to say, "He who waits to do a great deal of good at once will never do any." Good is done by degrees. However small in proportion the benefits which follow individual attempts to do good, a /Inol rnov fVino "ho I cai Utai UJt*; viaum wv wv. by perseverance, even in the midst of discouragements and disappointments. ?Crabb. The Invisible Force. God hates the sin but loves the sinner?loves him that is, as a man, not in his character of a sinner. God loves humanity in spite of, not because of its wrongdoing. He would, if possible, love the wrongdoer out of his sin, love him into decency, sanity, rigrueousness. ine love 01 uuu js not a mere empty sentiment, but is an invisible force which makes for holiness, and ultimately for happiness.?Ram's Horn.

New ^ York City.?The guimpe' waist js unquestionably the favorite one of the season and many and charming are the variations thereof. Here is an exceedingly attractive and dainty design that as illustrated is made from chiffon taffeta trimmed with narrow soutache braid and with guimpe portions of filet net, but which can be utilized for almost | every fashionable and seasonable ma! terial. The waist itself is full enough j to be becoming without being bulky : and is adapted to silk, to voile, to i marquisette and also the simple silk j and cotton mixtures, that are so exj ceptionally beautiful this year and j that make such attractive warm i weather gowns, while the yoke and the guimpe sleeves appropriately can be made from all-over lace, embroidery, net or lingerie material. Indeed, embroidered muslin is especially well liked for this purpose by French designers and always gives an air of daintiness to any gown. The trimming in this instance is bands I of taffeta with the Greek fret exe^ i cuted in seutache braid and with t finish of the braid but applique oi embroidery can be substituted. In deed, trimming is always a mattei of individual taste and preference and can be varied again and again. The waist is made with a fittec lining, which is laced to iorm tn< yoke, and itself consists of front anc back. These last are tucked at theii upper edge$ aQd are softly full be low while there is a trimming banc arranged over the upper edge. The guimpe sleeves are simply full gathered into straight cuffs while the sleeves of the waist give a sug i gestlon of the kimono style. If de ' sired the blouse can be made entirely separate and worn over any guimpe i or the lining can be used as a guimpe I and the two finished separately. The quantity of material requirec for the medium size is three yard: J twenty-one, two and a quarter yard: thirty-two or one ana a nau yaras forty-four inches wide with two anc one-eight yards eighteen inches wid< for the guimpe portions, soutache ac cording to design. Big, Loose Sleeves. A fashion which is making a grea i headway is the big, loose sleeve, 01 I to describe it differently, a bij ! drapery about the armhole whict answers as a sleeve. It is a wonder fully graceful fashion and seems al most universally becoming. Thi: idea is simply a development of tlx J shoulder drapery. It has now growr voluminous and is pushed farther of I the shoulder. Bordered Foulards.
