W^ast. New York City.?Fancy coats are greatly in vogue at this time and are to be noted made from a generous , variety of materials. All over lace !s a favorite, pongee is much in vogue, linen will be extensively worn ".hroughout the summer, and black silk and black satin are both smart ' tnd useful. This model is chic and ] jaunty while it includes seams to the shoulders, which mean simple and easy fit. It can be made with the ' sleeves as illustrated or sleeveless as 1 liked; and the sleeveless coat will be < much worn throughout the warm < weather. It is pretty, it is greatly in 1 vogue, while for the three-piece cos- i tume it makes an exceedingly grace- < ful adjunct to the toilette. In this instance lace or silk braid is arranged over a thin silk lining and is finished with plain silk braid with looped edges. The coat is made with the fronts ai?d side-fronts, backs and side-backs, and with straight sleeves which are gathered and inserted in the armholes. If the sleeveless effect is desired these last can be omitted and the armholes cut out on indicated lines. The quantity of material required for the medium size is four and onehalf yards eighteen or twenty-one, three and one-half yards twentyseven or two vards forty-four inches wide, one yard of fancy banding for the neck edge, four and one-quarter yards of braid and of looped edging. Use of Fringe. A Princess frock in mole-colored satin charmeuse is draped simply across the figure to one side and caught with a heavy, knotted, seveninch fringe forming a trimming on the right side. On the other is a lovely silken embroidery made of various neutral shades from faintest Wedgwood blue to the palest note of Bergundy and yellow. These all seem to harmonize with the shade of the frock, and compose a most glorious uuuiuiuawuu. ( Shoulder Trimming. Some of the new afternoon dresses are finished with bands of embroidery that meet in the back in a point at the line of the neck and extend over the shoulders, where they are loosely caught in the front and allowed to hang almost to the knees. Not a Wrinkle Permitted. It is imperative that the drop skirt be fitted carefully to the figure, as small hiDS are in style, and there | must be no extra fulness at the waist line or a sign of a wrinkle over the hips. Cotton Voiles. The cotton voiles strike one very forcibly this season, not because they are new, but because they are so plentiful and in such lovely colors, j JESl\ Inner Mourning Veil. The French are wearing an innor mourning veil of white chiffon. Silk Coats Again. At the races in Paris many coats jf taffeta sillc have been seen that may be worn with any kind of skirt. These are both long and short and generally very loose and soft, but not necessarily of somber black, so universal a few years ago. Sartorial Heresy. In past years who on earth would have dreamed of combining tulle and :loth for day dresses or of assembling lace and fur together for outdoor vestments? Heavy trimmings on materials of diaphanous texture; good ? *?Vi rrpsv! gracious, ~w~ncti ivi >ui Elaborate Underskirts. Underskirts are growing more and more elaborate, and broad ribbon plays an important part in them. Many are of peau de suede, while white batiste petticoats are much trimmed with insertions of lace and minutely pleated mousseline de soie. Handsome Evening Coat. Ornate braiding is a feature of a landsome imported evening coat. The entire garment consists ol panels, tvhich are scalloped at the bottom tnd braided deeply on all edges; within each panel is a trailing, leaf-like lesign, and the wide cuff and yokes ire covered solidly. The fastening is made by means of one handsome >raid ornament with long tassels. Girl's lircss. Simple little frocks made with straight full skirts are among tho most practical and the most desirable Df the warm weather season. Thia 3ne is pretty and attractive and can be made from almost any really childish material, the linens, batistes, Jimities and the like of the present II season and also challis, cashmere and similar light weight wools. In the illustration, however, dotted batiste is trimmed with embroidery. The dress is made with the waist and the skirt. The waist can be lined or unlined as material renders desirable and can be made with the yoke as illustrated or with the neck cut out on tne square ouuine as iinea. The skirt is straight and simply gathered at its upper edge. The quantity of material required for the medium size (ten years) ia four and five-eighth yards, three and three-quarter yards thirty-two ot three yards l'oity-four inches wide, one-half yard eighteen inches wide for the yoke, two and three-quarter yards of banding two inches wide for the skirt, one and three-quarter yards one and one-quarter inches wido for the belt and cuffs. THE PULPIT. ~~ A BRILLIANT SUNDAY SERMON BY THE REV. S. H. COX. Subject: Church of (lie Future. I Brooklyn, N. Y.?The Rev. Sydney Herbert Cox, in an address to the people of the Congregational Church of the Evangel, of which he is pastor, j spoke of "The Church of the Future," ! such a church as he would like to see j built and sustained. Among other j things he said: The Church of the Evangel?Con! gregational?is free in Its offer of ' nKnrrth moTYihorohin tn ntiv norennq who, without accepting its creed as a test, will make a single and simple confession, that they believe Jesus to ! be the supreme expression to men, in j human form, of what God is like, and what He would have us become. This is what we mean by modernism. That the life of a church depends not upon its creed, but upon its spirit. Therefore we do not insist that any one else shall accept our creed in the exact terms in which we interpret it. It is impossible for a thinking man not to have a creed of some sort. But as Congregationalists we agree to differ upon all matters that we deem unessential. We believe that the example of the life of Jesus as we have it in the four gospels is sufficient to make any man who will try it such a man as God would accept as His eternal friend, and help toward perfection of character. Therefore we ask of a man who | wishes vo join our church, not what j does he think concerning the leadj ing religious doctrines of his day, but j does he believe in following Jesus as ' the Master of men and is he honesti ly trying to do so? His creed only i interests us as the intellectual expressions of his moral and religious character. He depends for his authority in religion exactly as we do, upon direct communication with God's spirit. So, in this intellectual attitude toward religion, we do not decry or unkindly criticise those other religious bodies whose adherents differ very widely from our vie.v. We believe firmly and grate lujiy txiat vjreeK. ?uu xvuuian vu.uiuucism, all forms of Protestantism, Unitarian and Trinitarian, as well as Judaism, have each contributed much to the world's religious life, and that even the faiths of the Orient, both ancient and modern, have been a part of God's growing revelation to the world. The social message of Christianity has long been misunderstood or neglected. Now it is being proclaimed sverywhere, and no live church can escape its appeal. In the church we are to build, and the work we seek to do, we must recognize its place. I have spent ten years amid social j problems, six years in the Hell's Kitchen section of Manhattan Island. I I believe that my experience has equipped me in some humble way to nreach the cosnel of Jesus, and build ! up a church that shall represent the life of Go! in the souls of men. I do not need to proclaim myself a Socialist of any brand, nor to join some new ism, in order to love my fellow men and serve them. To me the biggest opportunity in life is to be a Christian?a Christ's man, to serve men. What kind of a church, then, do I hope to see built and fur what work? Christianity and Socialism alike seek the development of an efficient society, a social order of stable equilibrium. But Christianity insists that there can be no perfected society, except by the regeneration of each individual. It is not enough to provide a perfect environment of lustice and live by the most beautiful socialistic legislation; there must I be a moral power in each person, causing him to fit in to such a perfect society! Such a moral power can never be produced by perfect economic and social legislation, but by the making of a new moral man in each individual by some Divine power outside himself. Such a power has not been found outside Jesus Christ, however Ho is to be interpreted. If the Christian religion is to make each individual an efficient member of society, it can only do so as it perfects each function of that individual man. The Christian religion must improve his body as well as his mind and soul. It cannot i achieve one and neglect either or both of the others. Our supreme work, however, is the culture of the soul. Few of us can define what we mean by the soul. But all of us understand what is meant by the culture of the soul. TV?q r\V?fnor? onnoalc to mo mnro rmrl j more powerfully as I grow older. | The development and enrichment of the highest powers within us so that we feel our personality ennobled by the kindling of sacred fires and the consciousness of divine passions over which we know this transitory world has no ultimate dominion. The culture of the sou? involves for me three elements: won-uip, education and work. What is worship? It is devotion. Instruction, evangelism. In devotion man's soul expresses his -gratitude to God for life and its hones, his contrition for conscious sin, and his prayer for strength to endure the discipline of his spiritual education, and to achieve his final spiritual victory over the lower and sinful self. By instruction man sesks to acquire In orderly possession by sure knowledge those doctrines of faith which describe in his own language the experiences through which he has passed, or those which he hopes to possess and believes to be a part of his eternal inheritance from his Father, God. Next to the importance of the auditorium for worship, which is our most important room, we must build a church equipped for religious education. The preacher's sermons should do this in part, and do it systematically, else he is a poorly trained preacher, though sometimes he may be a great preacher in spite of his poor training and not because of it. But the church is more than a pulpit lor preacmng. it is ana always ought to be a great school for religious education. And this means chiefly a great school for Jible ritudy. Men who do not coness Jesus as Christ, or seek to foluw Him as Lord, admit that the world has no other literature comparable to the Hebrew Scriptures the Old Testament and the Chrisdan writings of the New Testament. These writings, a library of sixtysix books, commonly called by us the Bible, constitute a marvelouc book of life, with every variety of human experience, written in every type of literary presentation, and possessed all through by a marvelous moral power, a spiritual illumination and a grip on man's moral being which make this Bible something in man's life which he cannot avoid without moral loss, and cannot read without spiritual reproof and ren)t?r?e or defiance or repentance, The Bible must be reckoned with. Li.;:, has a right to its constant perusal and self-Interpretation which some , churches deny to him. Millions of ] our fellow men go through life unconscious of this priceless possession, which, if they once realized its existence and value, they would give ' all1 else to be able to enjoy and possess. Millions more in Protestant j Christendom come to years of maturity utterly ignorant of the real value and moral vitality of this grc?at ! f book of God, and though nominally j L accepting its contents at their pre; sumed face value, place no actual reliance upon it as a source of life. 1 This is partly due to an unreal method of interpretation, partly to an unreal theological authority, and ; partly due to its exclusion from our public system of education as a literature for literary analysis and examination, and as a great treasure house of moral information capable of being memorized without recourse to sectarian explanation or ecclesiastical influence of sinister design. No Congregationalist believes in State aid to religious communities or ecclesiastical objects. Let every religious organization stand or fall, live or die, according as it exfall, live or die, according as it gives it a right to live in a free atmosphere which is guaranteed as a necessity of life. How then is Bible study to be pursued? By 'quipping every church as a thorough Bible school with every modern facility known to pedagogy, philosophy, psychology and religious administration. The churches of the future centuries will only live as they are worthy to live with the advancing sciences of government, industry and education. We are to do the work of build ing up men in Christian character. 1 Not merely moral men, or educated ; men, or civilized men, but men re- j deemed and reconstructed in charac- 1 ter by the power of a Person whom we love and worship as the Christ of ' God, and apart from whom we do j not believe this spiritual life of regeneration is possible. This work demands that each member of the Christian church shall do his share. It demands that ; we shall live and work for the com munity all the time. Not for ourselves?the community and the community Father will care for us. j i Some souls need worship, some need ' social life, some need good books, [ some need physical culture, as the starting point of a new intellectual life or spiritual passion. The Chris- ' tian church can sanctify all these modes of renewing men's life. It < j must be a working institution. Open < j at all reasonable hours, for all ra- ] i tional nurposes that aid in religious . development. It must be the great i spiritual centre from which radiates j the religious st/ength of the homes i that stand around it and to which , comes the spiritual response that mul- ] tiplies and maintains its power and j resources. . j IJeconcilod. A young husband and wife were walking, one summer evening, through a country churchyard, and J they were attracted l>y two little j graves, side by side, on which were laid wreaths and crosses of fresh ] flowers. The date of the little ones' death was seen by the headstone, some years back. The names were ' those of two children, only two and j three years old, and underneath were 1 the words, "Thy will be done." "How dreadfully sad!" said tht> jyoung husband. I "If our baby were to die I could 1 i never say that," said the young wife, 1 pointing to the text. "Let us hope you will not be tried," j 1 ! said the young husband. But when they returned home that j 1 night they found the baby ailing, and , before very long, a little grave?such { a little grave!?had to be dug for it, 1 1 too. 1 For a time the poor mother's heart rebelled terribly. She mourned as ' ' one who had no hope, and on the tombstone of her little one she had i 1 inscribed the words: "I am bereaved ' ] of my children, I am bereaved." Later on, through years of trial j ?nd suffering, God led her to a better I Tiling* nnri whpn.awomnn old in sor- I ' row and years, she visited the grave where her child and husband were both lying, she resolved to have that mur- 1 ? muring inscription altered, and in- j stead of it was written, "Where the j treasure is, the heart is also;" and ; beneath again, the text which once ! she thought she could not say, "Thy ! ! ; will be done."?Home Herald. Sincerity is Not Enough. Here is a man who is sowing what appears to be black ashes. A friend accosts him, saying: "What have you got in your bag?" He learns that it is the hulls of buckwheat? the chaff of old wheat; and he says: | "What are you sowing chaff for?" "Why," the man replies, "I have the impression that if a man ;.s only f si I Hi fnl nnH sfnr>f>rf> it makes no difference what he sows." ' Does it not make a difference? J Suppose a man should sow couchgrass. thinking he was going to get timothy hay; would he? Suppose a man should set out crab-apple-trees i in his orchard, and think he was j 3 going to get fall pippins; would he? | Suppose a man should sow that most 1 detestable of all detestable seeds, the J Canadian thistle, and say it was 1 wheat; would any amount of botani- ' cal sincerity on the part of this fool I secure to him a harvest of anything ! better than the seed sown? If he ( J ? W V-. nnf ovon suweu t'uaii, nv rruuiu uub reap chaff. If he sowed weeds, he would reap weeds. "For what a man sows" in natural husbandry, ( "that shall he reap."?Henry Ward j Beecher. , A Prayer. ' 0 my God, Thou and Thou alone art all-wise and all-knowing! I believe that Thou knowest just what is best for me. I believe that Thou lovest me better than I love myself, 1 that Thou ire all-wise in Thy provi- j dence and all-powerful in Thy pro- s tection. I thank Thee, with all my heart, that Thou hast taken me out 1 of my own keeping, and hast bidden J me to put myself in Thy hands. I t can ask nothing better than this, tc be Thy care, not my own.

REPORTS OF PROGRESS OF THE BATTLE AGAINST RUM. rhe Wine Cup Mightier Than the Sword?A Warrior Whom No Victory Can Satisfy, No Ruin Satiate. It is a warrior whom no victory ;an satisfy; no ruin satiate. It pauses it no Rubicon to consider, it pitches ao tents at night, goes into no quarters for winter. It conquers amid the burning plains of the South where the phalanx of Alexander halted in mutiny, it conquers amiu iue buow Jrifts of the North where the Grand Army of Napoleon found Its winding sheet. Its monuments are in every burial ground. Its badges of triumph are the weeds which mourners wear. Its song of victory is the evall that was heard in Ramah: "Raihel crying for her children and weeping because they are not." Tho sword is mighty, and its iloodjr traces reach across time, from Nineveh to Gravelotte, from Marathon (o Gettysburg. Yet mightier Is its brother, the wine cup. I say "brother," and history says "brother." Castor and Pollux never fought together in more fraternal harmony. David and Jonathan never joined in more generous rivalry. Hand in hand, they have come down the centuries, like vulture and shadow, they have met and feasted. Yea; s, pair of giants, but tin greater fs the wine cup. The sword has a scabbard, and is sheathed: has i conscience, and becomes glutted with havoc: has Ditv. and eives auar ter to the vanquished. The wine cup has no scabbaid and no conscience; its appetite is a cancer which grows is you feed it; to pity it is deaf; to suffering it Is blind. The sword is the lieutenant of death, but the wine cup his captain; md if ever they come home to him :he wars bringing their trophies, aoasting of their achievements, I can imagine that death, their master, will meet them with garlands and song, as the maidens of Judea met Saul and David. But as he numbers the-.victories of each, his paean, will be: "The sword is my Saul, who has slain his thousands; but the wine cup is my David, who has slain his tens 3f thousands."?Tom Watson, in the Weekly Jeffersonian. rhe Farmer's and Laborer's Portion. A farmer sold twenty-five bushels jf corn to a distillery for ten dollars. Dut of that corn was made 100 gallons of whisky, worth $18; that ten gallons of whisky is taxed until its ^aiue is raised to ?i3o; at xnat price It is sold to a liquor dealer. It is Shen shown in advertisements in the laily papers, displaying a man mounted on a bob-tailed horse, waving the devil's colors, and proclaiming the devil's message, that it is 'Hunter's Old Baltimore Rye," "Old Lexington Club," "Old Dearborn," 'Old Crow," and many other popular brands. All "bottled in bond," will lure any disease, secure good health ind prolong life. Selling at one dollar a quart. This 100 gallons of whisky sold to whisky drinkers for $400. rhe farmer's portion was $10, the laborers', who manufacture the whisky, received as their portion $8. Who ?ot the other $382? It must have been the devil himself, for one man who bought of it, got drunk and whipped his wife, was fined $25 and thirty days in the workhouse. The - a * it.. ?U 41 ^ t, ^ care 01 nis la-uniy, wuhb ue oeivcu time, cost the public $50. And yet we swe a defence set up for it in 3ome newspapers, that wish to enter family circles as teachers, saying that to suppress it would be the ruin Df the family and laboring interests Df the country. The papers that will show it up in its true light are the 3ort for the family table. " The farmer that would say that he was benefited by such a traffic would sell his veracity for a small fee.?M. B.

"Ttio PfnViihitlnniBts hflVB MTltlired a larje part of the country, and they will soon vote us out of the rest, ii we do not make some very decided changes in the goods we sell and the way we buy them," is the startling wail of a confidential letter to the "trade," dated April 15, 1907, and just sent out to their members by the St. Louis Wholesale Liquor Association. "We have unwittingly sold this accursed poison to the youth and the flower of our manhood, many ol whom have been crazed, have lost their manhood, their honor and their all, because they drank it. Theii mothers, their sisters, their fathers, their brothers and their parents are driving us retailers out of business. The only salvation left for the liquor business lies in a firm resolve on the part of all retailers to be sure that they sell nothing but the purest and best goods that can be had for their money." Unsupported Idea. The belief of the drunkard that he has an hereditary devil whom he cannot resist is, we believe, invariably unsupported by the facts. A man may inherit an unstable nervous organization, but whether he shall take Lo drink, or opium, or stealing, or 3ome other form of vicious indulgence will depend more upon himself than upon his ancestors.?

" For some years they have been depending more upon hunting the j j hair seal than anything else to pay | for the supplies that Denmark sends I to them. But the quantity of sea oil the natives have to sell is declining every year. The herds of reindeer In Alaska are thriving so well that the Danes hope-A to make the introduction of I these animals into Danish Greenland ' a source of profit to the Esquimaux. The experiment, however, has failed. Tne animais aia not move, a.uu uu y further effort will be made to introduce them. The Esquimaux catch many fish, but their methods are primitive. They ^ depend, for example, upon their har- r( poons to capture herrings. If they _ were skilled in the use of nets they would increase the amount of their catch a hundredfold. The Danish visitors intend to col- u lect practical facts about the coast c fisheries and to study the problem of making them more valuable to the ? natives. Experienced fishermen are in the expedition and the ship is d equipped with every appliance for P study of the fishing grounds. " When all the facts have been collected the Danish Government pro- fi poses to train the natives in the best tl modern methods and to provide them 0 with the latest appliances used in C European fisheries, including motor Ci boats to replace the native skin boats. The expedition will also inquire C into the question whether it is worth si while to establish a whaling station on the Greenland coast. The Danes j are inclined to think it will pay to re, establish a whalery in South Green' land, especially as the Scotch are Q finding it very profitable to hunt for tx whales on that coast a little north of the Danish colony.?New York ii Sun.
