The Locket's Return. The sentimental girl, Fhe who i! addicted to tying her letters witl blue ribbons and secreting locks o hair in her top bureau drawers, wil be glad to hear of the renaissance o the old-fashioned locket. This pen dant, in submission to the style o twenty years ago, is either heart shaped or oval and generally has i small drop of gold attached, whicl makes it look like our grand J1 mother's earrings. Best of all, i is commodious enough to accommo date a cabinet photograph and ! wig-makers' shop. A Parisian Fad. .

In Paris long lace cuffs are being flsed with short sleeves when a long glove is not desirable. The firsl choice in them is the plain filet cufl of the same tone as the gown. Elastics are run in the tops so that they ?a& be put on and taken off quickly. * \ Lace? Lnce, Lace. Never has there been a season f when lace was so extensively used for trimming.

Some charming examples of this lace have coarse em-. broidery done in color on a white ground. The Newest Earrings. In spite of the predictions to the contrary, the rage for the earring continues, and their length and general size keep apace with their popu- , larity.

BY T/1E rb/~ 1 ^V^/kNDEKo.Nl^p?^" ! v i ] i Subject: The First Commandment. : i ] Brooklyn, N. Y.?Preaching at the i Irving Square Presbyterian Church, ' Hamburg avenue and Weirfield ' street, on the theme, "The First Com- ' mandment," the pastor, Rev. Ira Wemmell Henderson, took as his text Ex. 20:3, "Thou shalt have no other gods before Me." He said: Given to a people who lived amid polytheistic surroundings and hedged in by the worshipers of the many gods this commandment has as much force in this day as it had then. The call of Jehovah for undivided loyalty at the 'hands of His people is but the demand of reason. "No man can : serve two masters," and he who : would* try so to do finds out, in what- 1 soever department of life he may elect the test, that this is a great truth. Granting God only the aver- i age of human intellectuality we mu9t agree that the Almighty knjw what i He was about when He laid fast claim upon the unified service of His chosen people. The history of poly- : theism is the record of the deadening ' of the best religious instincts and ; capabilities in man, and the story of ; the strife of the deities to secure i human patronage. Grant, if you wish, that the first word is but the appreciation by Moses of the fundamental truths which God < had put into the hearts of the best ; men of the Hebrew nation, rather than a specific, face-to-face, objective revelation of Jehovah's will to Moses alono, and the truth is not quenched. The particular doctrines you may hold as to just what are the means of divine self-revelation 1 and inspiration do not in any way affect the facts. Moses got the truth. 1 That is the point. It is of secondary importance what view you may hold 1 as to how the truth sank into his 1 heart. But this is a digression. 1 "Thou shalt have no other gods 1 before Me," said" Jehovah. And the darkest days of Israel were those : when she served the no-gods of the heathens. In this day and generation many peoples are m tne miast 01 me blackness of thick darkness because they serve too many and unworthy gods. The religious activities and spiritual sensibilities of any nation have more to do with its material success than shallow thinkers and cursory students of history are ready ] to admit. A high religious life has fruit in a fine morality. A deep moral consciousness finds expression in clean and benificent conduct. And good conduct concerns the health , of all the departments of life wherein human energy is expended. A nation of many gods will, for reasons that are easily perceived, soon degenerate. When men may play the gods against each other for personal gain It is easy to compute how long it will be before all social life will become corrupt. But much as we may be interested In the study of the effects of polytheistic religions upon the conduct of *: ?- J ?< 11; n ~ V>a I littHUUD, aiiu n JiuiJg a.a wc ulclj uc to contemplate the evil and disastrous consequences of such religions upon the entire life of a people, there 1s yet a more pointed application of the : text that very properly may command our attention. You remember the story of the rich young man! Well, the trouble with him was not that he was rich, but that money was his god. Riches are no sin?if they are righteously ; acquired. To be rich is to be tried? fearfully tried. Money as a means to the service of God is unmixed good. "loney as Mammon is damnation t?_ heart and mind and soul alike. Cash, considered as so much credit from the eternal storehouse of Gcd's wealth, is capable of much good. Gold, as greed and the gainer UJ. peiSUUUl ScJii-SlttLlSiUUClUil tWUUC, 16> a curse. As the young man, who so touched ( the heart of Jesus, allowed his bank : account to deter him from the ser- , vice God demanded of him, so many of us serve money, ambition, social , demands and social preferment, in- , stead of Jehovah. The man who sacrifices all that is best within him upon the altar of money is a fool. The next panic may sweep him away and drag his wealth from him. The woman who works herself almost to death and makes a slave of her husband that they may have only clear water ahead of them In the social swim, will, when the end is come, find that it is all a farce and that a vouneer. better lookinc. richer woman, whose husband has more cash, now leads the social race. No man can serve ambition for ambition's sake and keep his peace with God. "Ambition, selfish ambition, I mean, knows not God and respects no man. The rush for a place at the top, either in politics or society, is largely responsible for that deadening of the finer Impulses and that stultification of conscience that, in many circles, we see to-day. But lest we become too destructive, let us consider the constructive and positive aspects of the commandment. To answer the query of those who tried Him in His exegesis of the ten words Jesus promulgated the clinch ing and summarizing commandment.. "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength." From the entirety of the heart and in its unity; with the central and soul life; intellectually and in the fulness of spiritual strength; in short, with the whole of his being man is to serve the one true God, the Father of our Lord and of us. There are three reasons?to enumerate no more?why we should servo Jehovah. The first is that service is obligatory; the second is that it is necessary; the third is that it is satisfactory. At the centre of all life stands God, the personal loving Father of every man, the Creator of the material world. Back of I-Iim we cannot legitimately go, nor is there any necessity or valid reason to do so. As our Father, He is the source and giver of our lives. To serve Him is obligatory upon all men. His demand that He be given pre-eminence in every man's life is not unreasonable. If obedience be the duty of every child to a loving earthly parent. who shall (iuestlon the right of God to make obedienc-j to Himself alone the obligation of every soul? No man of perception will remove God from the world. No man can. The one great, obtrusive fact in life, that constantly forccs itself upon our attention, is that God is. Harmony with His laws brings us happiness. Discord with the verities of God puts a man into bell. Krom the fact that God is the ruler and life of the universe we are bound lo conclude that for the preservation of 'His own in tegrity and for our own best dsvel apment it is obligatory that we serv the Lord our God and Him only. Then, too, it is necessory that mei shall give God the prime position ii 7 ? in .... ? LlACIi uvea. ill U1UCI \.vi UIC frlSJl J u the Father?which is the chief end o man?and in order to the cultivatioi of all that is noblest within them men must ally themselves with thosi spiritual and godly elements an: ideals in life that make for the high est and the best. No man is so wel rounded a man as he who measure hie life-work by spiritual and eterna standards. The opportunist has m chance in God's Kingdom. The ca reer that is most a blessing to the in dividual and to mankind is the on that is grounded in godliness am whose works of righteousness ar the result of the inward work ings of a holy love. The effort o the rightly balanced man is to b most of use and to have the worh mark and remember him as wort] while. The man who is most of ac count and whose memory will b longest cherished is that man whos life is squared to the measure of god liness revealed in Jesus Christ. Good ness is necessary to a lasting success The man who is the best man am ama m oUlnn/NrMAnf ( o n/n?m O T1 f 1 wuuse acuicvcwcui id i^iujaucui j the man who serves God in the unit of love. In the last place, the fruits of sue] service are satisfactory. A man ma till the soil and reap many harvest till his barns be full, but if he hav no communion with God he will g hungry in the after life. What t you is your money when God call you to the heavenly places? Th amoivit of Christian character yoi possess, not the coins that crowd you purse, will be the measure of you value then and there. What are you clothes when death's shroud enclose you? What are you?you who hav worshiped at the altar of your ow wisdom?when God puts you in th balance? All these things are ad mittedly unsubstantial. But th wealth of God endures. The Chrit tian who is clothed upon by Jesu Christ shall ever be prepared to stan within the presence of Almighty Goc The wisdom of God is sufficient unt the saving of the soul and lasts foi ever. If we would but reverse thing and make all the material element and all our intellectual abilities sut servient and subsidiary and subord! nate to the prime work of the spii Itual service of Jehovah life would b more satisfactory. He who serve God gets money enough and eterna life. The striver for eminence i godliness and uprightness will b well in the front of Heaven's societ and will not want for recognitionamong people whose approval i worth anything?here. The deepes knowledge and the hardest task th mind of man can attack is to be foun in the appropriation of the eternf wisdom of our God. The fruits c God-serving are peace, joy, contenl ment, purity, eternal life. The prize of the world are fleeting. The sen ing of God is satisfactory. To hii who is faithful the reward is sure. Thoroughness in Religion. "How long halt ye between tw opinions? ' If the Lord be God fo! low Him; but if Baal, then follow him." (1 Kings 18 :21.) "Thoi ougb," then, is the law here.

After weeks of abo sence he returned, but his position had been filled. "Why did you go?" g asked a friend. s "Whisky," was the only reply. A few weeks he struggled to free [_ himself from his deadly foe, and _ then again disappeared finally. e "What will Mrs. Carr do?" was ,8 the question.

There is a beauty and attractive' ness in health which is far greater I than mere regularity ol feature. A sickly, irritable, and complaining' woman always carries a cloud of depression with her; she is ,not only unhappy herself but is a damper to all joy and happiness when with her family and friends. It is the bright, healthy, vivacious woman who always charms and carries sunshine wherever she goes. If a woman finds that her energies are flagging and that everything tires her; if her feminine system fails to perform its allotted duties, there is nervousness, sleeplessness, faintness, backache, headache, bearing-down pains, and irregularities, causing constant misery and melancholia, she should remember that Lydla E.
