GOLDEN TEXT?But seek ye Hrst the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.?Matt. 6:33. REFERENCE MATERIAL?Ex. 16; 1 Kings 16:29-33; Matt. 6:19-34. PRIMARY TOPIC?God Cares for Elijah. JUNIOR TOPIC ? Elijah, the Brave Prophet. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC ?Jehovnh's Champion Preserved. * YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC ?Obeying the Word of Jehovah. I. Elijah's Message to Ahab (v. 1). This was u sturtling message, for Ahab had not only led Israel into hlolntrv. hut Into a repudiation of the living God. This condition was not brought on because he married a heathen woman, for he married Jezebel in order/ tliat she might help him complete the apostasy (see ch. 1G:31). Note the content of the prophet's message: 1. "As the Lord God of Isrnel liveth." Elijah knew the source of his message. He knew that he represented the llYiug God, therefore had no fear to come into the presence of the king in llis name. 2. "Before whom I stand." Because Elijah stood before God, he could stand before Ahab. His "standing" before God indicates his Constant readiness to go on His errands. 8. "There shall not be dew nor rain these years but according to my word." This suspension of lhoisture continued for three and a half years (Jas. 5:17), and was given In answer to Elijah's prayer (Jas. 5:17). Drouth was predicted as the punishment for Idolatry (Deut. 11:16, 17). and the prophet was now applying the divine Judgment. II. Elijah's Retirement (vv. 2-10). As soon as he had delivered his message he retired from ,the king's sight, while the penalty of the king's sin should l>e visited upon the land When the famine was sore in the land. lA"" net nnrtK lilt: MII^ rr.^i miu uroi, ?iu? u and south for Elijah, hut God hud con eenled him.

I Wherever dress is discussed one 1 hears the assertion, "There Is nothing . new." To the casual observer, observes ( a Purls fashion writer, there Is little that Is new. Faoin a walk nlong a fusldonable thoroughfare one gathers ( the impression that clothes are much ( the same as they were last year. , But the close observer,- the one who i reully Is interested in the fashions will i see that there are changes?many of them?und that these changes are i clever and subtle. They do not lie In ( t? r y : i The Black Suit Witn inserts or White Fur in the Sleeves. the outline of the gnrments, but In unusual trimmings. It requires much less effort and Ingenuity to bring out I a silhouette that Is attention attracting ( than to evolve a beautiful and original 1 decoration. , Today the clever dressmaker buys ' | only a small percentage of her trim- , 1 mi tigs ready tuade; she creates deco' ! rations suitable to the model she is designing, often using nothing but . | the niuterial from which the dress ! is made. Tills is an old idea. Our grandmothers depended lurgely upon rufi,flings, [dealings and ilutings to eu- ' j hance tlie beauty oj^tlielr costumes, j and it Is from these old-time trim- i ming ideas that tlie present day selftrimming. as it Is called, emanates. Trimmings of Self Material. There was nothing artistic about tlie evenly pleated or fluted ruffles. I Every dressmaker used them and, stitched them to tlie dress with great ' exactness. Vastly different are the 1 delicate hand-made trimmings of today, I carelessly tacked hero and there. Dressmakers now excel in intricate i n i v i* i orams unnven t 1 j Tliore 'Is a penchant for sparkling effects In dress and. consequently, these cloth motifs often are covered with a cut-work of steel heads, or embroidered In glistening metallic ! threads. 1 tnher glinting trimmings are the' braids that have the glistening white I appearance of bright new sliver. Even furs are enlivened by Inserts of such < braids. Perhaps It <is the liking for i glistening ornamentation that has brought materials shot with gold Into I so much nrnminence. Foliage Trims Mid-Winter Dresses. On black dresses star trimmings are | made by glistening points of jet, and simple black velvet gowns have sashes, > trains ami paneJs lined with sliver and ! hiighflv tinted metal cloths. Incrustn- ! tlons of rlilnestones also are used on black velvets. Tills combination is eg- j pceinlly popular at the house of , Worth.

COLOR COMBINAI #White and Tints Are to Be in Lime- ^ light, Advance Spring Models s Indicate. r Advance spring models shown by , some of the houses, stress white and color. It is sold by those who are accustomed to forecasting the season's mode, that all white will not have the popularity that white and color is ex- k pected to receive. ^ Another feature worthy of note is ( the texture of the fabric. In many instances it is the coarser weaves, such as cord, mesh or those with ribbed surfaces, that are In evidence. ( Trimmings are different, in that they f are made from the material itself, by cut-out motifs that are backed with i color, or in the case of firmly woven materials, the finishing touch Is giv- v >n by cutting the hem into fringe, and n ilie same trim will appear on the a cuffed pockeis. j e A new note was sounded by one firm i i 'bowing iuodels trimmed with Moka- | t iuck, a dark gray suede with printed f ? Plays / tant Part land-made decorations, most of which :ons!st of novel ways of working the naterials composing the dress. A ? :reut deal of this sort of trimming is ised, and it gives a look of elaboration o simply cut models. Sometimes It akes the form of upright folds sewn n patterns to form panels on skirts ind plastrons on bodices. Again It akes the form of geometrical pieces icwn to the i'"ess In a distinct pattern. Another unusual form of trimming , insists of narrow tabs embroidered n self-tone, and still unother Interestng effect Is produced by small leaflike joints and narrow strips cut from two layers of material pasted together. Hils makes It possible to use the raw L'dge. These tabs and strips are massed to form a design.

This frock Is i confirmation of the tendency to relieve dark clothes with bright colors, the model being a black s broadcloth, with the cascading side panels nnd the sleeve tabs of Chinese . *j green silk, a shade which is one of fashion's favoultes Just now.
