PRICE. D.D. Thus far during the quarter of topical studies we have considered the Trinity, Scriptures and Sin. Now we give attention to human experiences and observe how the Scriptures reveal the ways by means of which the needs of man are met in the provisions of God. How shall man act when conscious of the deadly work of sin? The answer is in the present title “Repentence and Faith.” Passages for very careful study are again indicated: Isaiah 1:10-20; Ezekiel 18:20-23, 27-32; Mark 2:1-12; Luke 3:1-14; 15:11-24; Acts 2:32 39; Hebrews 11:1-10. Further back in the Old Testament than Isaiah are almost countless references to sin and its consequences. Also from the first were similar encouragements like the message from Jehovah through the prophet Isaiah: “Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as. white as snow.” Ezekiel shows the need of some radical action on the part of man when he declares “The soul that sinneth, it shall die.’’ John the Baptist, an Old Testament prophet, though recorded in the New Testa ment. calls upon all classes in society to change their lives. An incident of repentance, that is typical of the exercise of divine love, is given under the guise of a parable as we have the fascinating story of the .Two Sons. The younger was away from home in spirit even while he was there in flesh. He was eager to get where he would be without those safeguarding, restraining influences that can mean so much to every child. He asked for his share of the money and went away to»*pend it in the wrong things he had been thinking about. Soon he was hopelessly stranded and had no asset but misery from his experience. Then he thought things through and made the worthy resolve to seek a servant s place with his father., He changed his whole view on life. He was not merely, sorry bcause he was stranded but was heart-sick because of his wrong doing and resolved that such sins would never again have any place in his life. Further, he would go hack home and tell his father that he, a son. had not only sinned against him but also against the love of (iod. There would be no excuse—just a humble and sincere confes sion. Read that parable in Luke again and note the gracious reception by the father. This act is just a type of divine love and forgiveness. l aith is presented in the Golden Text. “Repent ye, and believe in the gospel.' The promise of pardon is offered to the repentant sinner. We believe in the Divine offer, accept it and full forgiveness is grained through the sacrifice of the lamb of God. This was part of the content* 6f the preaching on the Day of Pentecost as set forth in the Scripture from Acta TREASURER’S TAX NOTICE The County Treasurer’s office will be open for the purpose of receiving taxes from October 15th, 1928, to March 15th, 1929.

CO t mfflitvts Ojr Helena fcuirinstm ’As I shall show you may— Prove best of beauty there. —Browning Today I shall talk about the various kinds of skins, and in describing them I can perhaps help you to visualize them more dearly if I give you a concrete comparison. So 1 am going to compare the thin, fragile skin to the texture of the Japanese silk, and the thick skin 1 shall liken to the coarser weave of a piece of woolen material. Some skins are of such a delicate texture that it is impossible for the naked eye to see the pores, just as it is impossible to see the weave of a fine piece of silk; whereas in the thicker skin the pores are discernible to the eye as in the weave of a woolen material. Many women seem to have the im pression that it is nicer to possess a thin skin and are sensitive about hav ing their skins called thick. But in reality they are fortunate. Those who have thin or dry skin have a far greater beauty problem on their hands than die thick-skinned women, for thick skins are far more “beauty- proof” and will bear up under stress and strain to a* much greater degree than will thin or fragile skins. If you are in doubt as to the tex ture of your skin, you can usually decide the question^ by examining your hair. If the hair is fine and silky, the skin is of a thin tendency, whereas if the hair is inclined to coarseness, the skin will in all probability be thick. Hair and skin usually run along the same lines. A thin skin seems to have actual color and depth and possesses a transparent inner clearness, while the thick skin is stronger and more opaque. In heavier skin textures the oil glands are more active, and in con sequence oiliness and open pores often develop. Dirt lodges in this type of skin, and often results in blackheads. The thin skin, as I said before, is finer in texture and more delicate in construction. It is the skin that needs building up, and for that reason the lavish use of creams is recommended. However, I will go into more detail upon that point later on, when I shall devote an entire article to the manner in which the dry skin should be treated daily. If your skin is neither thick nor thin, but strikes a happy balance, you have what is called the normal skin. This is *he simplest of all to care for, and I will also devote one article to telling you exactly what is necessary to keep the normal skin in good condi tion. But the important decision to reach in the examination of your skin is to find which type you possess %nd then to treat it accordingly. Next week I shall tell you how to treat the thick or oily skin.
