The FIchleT Centra^ In Paris is a; confidential exchange founded by the American Red Cross, to co-ordinate al lied charity work and prevent duplica tion of effort.

Thirty-nine different agen cies have registered their cases with the Fichler Central. ..... Twelve wooden barracks recently built nt Leysele by the American Red Cross were used within a short period| of time as a refugee shelter, a chil dren’s colony and a inutemity hos pital. All of us who are members of the Red Cross will have a comfortable sense of having helped 'along In the many constructive activities that are engaging that great organization now. Measured by wnrtfmp achievements the work of relieving suffering and dis tress in the future will be better done by .the Red Cross than by any other means, for that is the business of the organization. It has a comprehensive outlook and knows what Is Reeded and Its methods have been tried by experi ence. Atthe request of the American Red Cross a toy manufacturing plant near Lyons Is now turning opt 'furniture for refugees. British armies hnve driven the Turks out- of tt^e_Holy land. The American Red Cross is helping to drive distress out oj the same territory. On an average of 18,000 queries are handled every week by the bureau of communications of the Red Cross. This bureau keeps soldiers in the field In touch with their fnmllies. The ideal waiter has been found.

Davison, chairman of the war council of the American Red Cross, on the oc casion of a recent visit by Mr. Davison to a local hospital where wounded Americans are being cared for. Mr. Davison tallied with scores of patients and asked them If there was anything his organization could do to make them more comfortable. He was deeply. touched with the fine spirit shown by the American boys and particularly *lth Filippo’s generous regard for his soldier companions. “If I leave my money to the Ameri can Ited Cross,” said Filippo. “I know that It will be used to help those who need It most. If I leave It to any other I cannot tell what will be done with It. I am In comfortable circumstances snd so are my people.

GOLDEN TEXT-For even Christ our psssover was sacrificed for us. 1 Corin thians 5:7. - ADDITIONAL MATERIAI-—Psalms 106: 36-38; Matthew 26:26-29: Hebrews 11:28. I. The Passover Instituted 1. The time qet (v. 2). With the in stitution of the Passover' came a change in the order of time. The com mon year was rolling on as usual, but with reference to tils chosen people the order Is Ihterrupted and everything is made to date from this. This signi fies that redemption Is the first step In real life. "Old things have passed away, all things have become new.” Before this the man was dead in tres- pass and sin; now' he has arisen to ’walk in newness of life. All before redemption counts for naught. The world thinks that real life ends when one nceepts Christ, but this Is a grave mistake. It is the beginning of rest wm*. Joining Y.arn. Much trouble has been caused in knittihg by Improperly Joining ths yarn. The fol T nwfng is a new and good way to splice it: Knit to within four or five Inches of the erd of the yarn. Thread file end of the new ball into a darning need!. - *. With the left hand hold the end of the yarn that remains on the work,'and darn the new yarn into It for three or four Inches. Slip off the darning needle, draw the yarn back until the end Is hidden, und knit as before, being careful not to pull the ends apart. The Joining can hard ly be found. 2. The lamb set apart (v. 2). This previous setting apart of the lamb typifies the foreordination of Christ to he t-ur Saviour. Redemption ,wns not an ufterthought of God (I Peter 1:18- 20). Tills hjnib must lie a male with- I out blemish. Indicating that it .must be both representative and perfect. , 3. The lamb was killed by the whole congregation (v. 6). This shows that It was not for the Individual only, hut for the entire assembly. The setting apart of the lamb was not sufficient. It must he killed, for*“without the shed ding of blond there Is no remission of *1na." The lamb might have been tled'to the door of the Israelites that “night, hut there would have been no salvation, notwithstanding Its perfec tion. Had Christ’s spotless life enn- ttntied till the present time and his matchless teaching gone on without Interruption, not a single soul would have been saved, for “Except a corn of wheat fall Into the ground and die It abldeth alone.” (John 12:24). 4. The blood of the slain lamb was to be placed upon the sideposts and lintel* of the door (v. 7). It Was not sprinkled upon the threshold, as it must not he trampled under foot (He brews 10:20). When the destroyer passed through the land he passed over the houses where the door posts were sprinkled with blood. This blood was the evidence that u substitute had been offered for them. They could rest absolutely secure, because the matter had been settled according to divine arrangement. The blood was tlte ground of peace. The assurance Is not when you feel your sins are pardoned, but “when I see the blood I will pass : over you.” 5. Israel feeding upon the lamb (vv. 8-10). This denotes fellowship. Judg ment must precede feasting. The eat ing of unleavened bread signifies that no sin Is connected or allowed In fel lowship with Christ. All who have-en tered Into the power of the cross will put away sin. — 6. They ate the passover ready for action (v. ,11). The loins being girt about, betokenk separation from sin and preparation and readiness for •serviep. The feet being shod Indicates ; their Willingness to leave the land. | The staff In the hand Indicates thetr I nature ns pilgrims leaning upon a sup port outside of themselves. They were to leave behind them the place of death and darkness and inarch toward the promised land. 7. The uncircumcised denied particl- ! nation In thp feast (vv. 43-49). Cir- rumcislon was typical of regeneration. The significance of the requirement is I that only those who have become new creatines' by the "power <>f the cross have a right to sit at the Passover feast. | ^ II.

For the articles to be replaced, choose material iiw garments which will harmonize , with the rest of your wardrobe. It is eco nomical to buy fewer garments at a time and to buy the best ma terial one can afford. In ready-made garments, choose conservative styles that they may be worn a long time. Select garments appropriate to the use they are Intended for and suitable to your individuality. It Is economical to limit the num ber and variety of colors in your wardrobe. Stundnrd materials of good grade, such as wool serge, broad cloth. flannel, crepe de chine, gingham, dimity, and percale, are economical because.... they wear well and are never out of style.
