-gEtissicme OENTENMIAL CHILDREN’S DAY. • The first notice of this proposed celebration was issued in the August Journal. This gave two full months for preparation for the occasion on Sunday, Oct. 2nd. It is to be re gretted that the time was so short, but this disadvantage could be over come by extra diligence. And now the time has lessened by half. Therefore all the diligence which each one of us can exercise will be required to press the matter upon the attention of superintendents who have not already begun preparations, and to stimulate the efforts of the young people, to whom we so confi dently look for large results. Results, yes, it is results which are needed now. Since January, effort has been making in one direction or another to educate, stimulate and en thuse. Eight months of this sort work ought to begin to show very •mgible results. Os course, money • not missions, nor can it take the place of prayer, or the work of the Holy Spirit. But given these last two, the fisst will follow. A Savior, who did not give himself, would be no Savior at all; a lover of missions who failed to give her money a contradiction. The reports from the treasurers of the Boards are most meagre. The quarterly reports from W. M. U. given in this department, are small compared with the terri tory from which they are drawn. We must bestir ourselves by every available means within our reach to attain practical immediate results. The Centennial Children’s Day offers this opportunity to each of us who are at work for missions. A mission worker is generally en gaged in the Sunday-school. Let our influence be there felt in keeping the day and its purposes before the minds of all. One earnest, consecra ted woman, who will not be discour aged, nor defeated, can insure the success of the undertaking in a Sun. day school. Surely we have more than one such in many schools, and such should feel herself a specially ap pointed’committee to secure the best posssble celebration. With the pro gram complete in all its details, none need hesitate to engage in the work. Some are leaders of mission bands. Need a mission-band leader be urged to interest her charge in the impor tant matter of falling into line with the great Centennial movement, be coming consciously a part of the grand history which God is working out for His Church ? And mothers, than whom none has more power or deeper interest, will not you make the observance of this occasion a matter of your care ful concern by praying for it in se cret and openly ? Could the chil dren of the household be indifferent to the object of a mother’s prayers ? Make the filling of the chapel cards a subject of family emulation; assist the young folks by plans for making money, and help them to understand the need for it. The program itself, with its beau tiful pictures illustrative of Wm. Ca rey’s interesting history, for which thanks are due the American Bap. tist Publication Society, will be an instructive and valuable memento of the occasion. Enough will be pro vided for each school observing the day that every scholar may have a copy for use on the occasion and for preservation. The condition for se curing the necessary supply is a promise to make a collection and forward to the Home and Foreign Boards, S. B. C., as a Centennial of fering. No time may now be lost. Get your superintendent to send his order at once to 9 West Lexington street, (new address), Baltimore, Maryland Baptist Mission Rooms, stating the average attendance of his school, with his post-office ad dress, and the order will be prompt ly filled.—Alice Armstrong, F. M. Journal. FROM JAPAN. From a letter from Brother McCol lum, which he unfortunately marked ‘Not for publication,” we take an extract. “We have baptized twenty one this year and of that number two have been excluded. [One an ex priest, who came in for money, but was summarily disposed of.—Ed.] The remaning nineteen, I think arc really and truly converted. ‘By their fruits ye shall know them.’ As we watch and pray and work with them, we find their hearts really go ing out to their heathen brethren and very zealously do they labor to lead men to Christ. They also give of their substance and, though very poor, are making contributions every week toward the expenses of our preaching stations. “There are about ten or twelve believers here in Kokura who are very anxious for a church building. They have raised a subscription of fifty yen yearly for five years (entire ly native) which will bo paid, I be lieve.” These Christians beg the Board to give them $ 500 for a church, of which they will pay back $ 250 by the pledges above mentioned. Will not some good brother make a Cen tennial gift of $ 250, to help this lit tle native church secure a house of worship. Brother McCollum says it is hard to rent a suitable house, as business men will not rent to mis sionaries - Brother M. adds, “I should like very much to see this done for them if possible. They are few, but very faithful, and a helping hand in time of need is a good thing, some good brethren to the contrary not withstanding.”—F. M. Journal. CENTENNIAL HELPERS. Will it not cheer, and also spur us, to know that the chapel cards have been adopted in some of our stations in Mexico, and the new Christians in that foreign field, poor though they are, purpose to have a share in this grand work. Mr. McCormick has taken ten for Zacatecas ; Mr. Powell twenty. Mr. Goldsmith and Mr. Moseley will also seek contributions through them. A converted China man in Baltimore, Charlie Sum Kee, has just returned $5.00 on a Home Mission card. Surely none need re fuse to take a card and go to work. A. A. F. M. Journal. Can we not have, all over Geor gia, in every Sunday School the ob servance of Children’s Day Oct. 2nd ? It is so earnestly desired by the Boards and should be observed not only for the result to be obtained just at this time but because it may be the means of interesting as never before teachers, scholars, and even superintendents, in missions for this year and for life. Here are unnum bered opportunities for turning ma ny hearts toward those who have never heard the Gospel. Let us not neglect them. (•The gmtfithxrlxL TWO LITTLE FEET. O life, so prodigal of life. O love and destiny at strife, O earth, so full of busy feet, O woods and hills and all things sweet. Was there no room amidst you all For two more feet so soft and small ? Didst envy me. where thousands sing, The one bird that made all my spring, My dove, that had so many ways Ot making beautiful life’s days ? Noroom! Or rather, it may bo Earth was too small t’mpnson thee. God only knows. I know I miss Thy sweet caress, thy loving kiss. The patter of thy dear small feet. Thy hand in mine through lane and street; While nil that now remains to me Is just a precious memory. Two little feet, ’neath earth’s brown sod, Two white wings somewhere safe with God. —Laura Harvey. OLD SILKS AND VELVETS. HOW TO CLEANSE AND FRESHEN THEN AS GOOD AS NEW. An old silk gown may -be cleansed at home and come out of the opera tion looking quite as fresh as if hav ing come from the scourer’s. The gown should be ripped apart, dipped into cold water, spread on a table and rubbed w’ell with a brush dipped into a mixture of five grammes of honey, as much soft soap and a gill of brandy. Then it should be thor oughly rinsed in a pail of water in which sixty-five grammes of gum have been dissolved. The gown should be allowed to drip without being wrung, and should be ironed while yet damp on the wrong side. Or a preparation of water and pota toes map be used. Grate five potatoes in clear, cold water and let the mixture stand a day before using. Then, after strain ing liquid, dip the silk in without crumpling it, spread it on a table, wipe both sides with a clean towel and iron on the wrong side. White brocade may be cleansed with bread crumbs. Grease may be removed with chalk, magnesia or with the yolk of an egg and water. Grease stains arc easily removed from black silk by rubbing with brown wrapping paper. Silk should never be brush ed but carefully wiped w - ith a piece of velvet. Velvet may be complete ly renewed at home. The garment should be ripped apart piece by piece. Put coals in a chafing dish and place on this dish a platter of thick brass. Cover it when hot with a thickly folded cloth dampened in hot water. Spread the velvet on this cloth, wrong side up. Pass a brush light ly over the velvet and let it dry on a tabic. White cashmere gowns or shawls should be washed in a soap suds of good, pure soap and rain wa ter, previously soaking them in warm and clear water. Press the garment with the hands without wringing. Pass it through frosh soapsuds and rinse again in soft water. Then dip the article in a preparation of THE CHRISTIAN INDEX: THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 15. 1892. warm water and pulverized gum ara bio, two spoonsful of the gum to three quarts of water. Wring the garment first with the hands, then in a towel. Dry it by fastening the whole length to a tablecloth and cov ering with another cloth. THE FASHIONS. Infants’ flannel shawls have a hem stitched hem. The height of fashion in Paris is dark blue used in combination with emerald green, so we may be prepar ed for the appearance of this some what incongruous combination in au tumn fabrics. An extremely novel garniture ap pears for ivory cloth evening gowns. It is fashioned of pale brown velvet and tan Russia leather, stamped with gold and bronze figures in relief. This is used upon the skirt and as a heading to the sleeves, collar and corselet of the bodice. Laces that are rather course in ef fect, indeed those that look almost like embroidery, are fancied on cot ton gowns for shoulder capes, cuffs, panels and foot trimmings. The finer laces, those that so admirably make jabots and frills, are only liked for gowns that are counted somewhat elaborate or are intended for evening wear. Comb and brush trays are such a convenience for the dressing table and saves the pretty embroidered covers so much, once using them no body can do without. An improv ment is the new comb and brush bas ket, a silver standard, with handle over the top and a long narrow dish fitting in it, either m Dresden or other choice porcelain. The handsome English mohairs have been greatly used in the forma tion of stylish, durable and lady-like traveling costumes for journeys by land and sea. Many varieties of col or have been added to the familiar standard shades and there are also pretty figures, bars, dots sprigs and stripes introduced on some of the newer weaves. Gowns made of these fabrics can be worn until the snow flies. To replace the airy garments of summer the importer has just pre sented to view some very light India wools in rich elegant tones. These are plain, or with woven embroidery in various shades of color matchina o the material, or in exquisitely con trasting tints, as, for example, a pat tern in leaf-green camel’s hair with very deep skirt embroidered in dark red, amber brown, rose, green and gold. This sounds like a peculiar color mixture, but the hues are as daintily blended in the fine flower and folliage designs as those in a bouquet of roses and mignonetts. The tint of brown in the design is the exact tone of the delicate shade of that color which crowns the spi ral tip of the pale reseda bloom. new arra’ngementbofbibbons. From Harper’s Bazaar. Some new arrangements of rib bons are on imported summer gowns. A large broad bow of ribbon set on the chest, and quite covering that part of the corsage is a late Parisian fancy. From this bow ribbons de scend on each side of the waist, and are taken up in th» back to form a similar bow to that in front, put just between the shotriders, from which fall long ends, making the Watteau effect. Another dress 'has tbe rib bons from the chest fibw going down to a point at the waist-line in the back, then knotted iu upright loops. A third fancy is that of making the ribbon outline a deep apron, having a large square bow of four loops tied almost at the foot of the front breadth, each loop tacked to the skirt to keep it well spread in shape. The ribbon then curls up on each side of the skirt to meet at the waist line in the back, and drops thence in long sash ends. Velvet ribbon, moire and satin are used for these decorations, and it is necessary that the ribbon be double faced, as both sides arc shown in different parts of the trimming. A NOVEL WINDOWOLEANFR. A new w'indow cleaner has been suggested, as an improvement to the old-fashioned strip of rubber, fasten ed on a band of w - ood or metal. The great trouble experienced with these bands seems to bo the difficul ty of applying water. The new sug gestion is to attach a rubber ball for holding water to the handle of the window cleaner by means of which the windows may bo vigorously sprayed. Snch an arrangement as this would certainly save trouble, though the average house-servant prefers a chamois to any rubber win dow cleaner. If by any means the cleaning of windows could be sim plified so that ono could engage a man to do the w’ork, as we do to clean carpets or make over mat tresses, at a trifling sum, it would take a heavy burden from the hands of the house-keeper who is too con scientious to allow such work to be neglected, and often finds it difficult to get the servants to attend to it as systematically as they should. HOME HAS THF FIKST CLAIM. The first thought of a wife or mother should be her home; all things, no matter how important, are secondary to that. No matter how rampant may become certain public evils, let her see to it that she keeps the evil out of her home, and she performs her greatest duty to her God, her family and mankind. Beaten Biscuit.—Sift one quart of flour, mix with it a teaspoonful of salt, a tablespoonful of lard and sweet milk enough to make a dough. Beat hard for twenty minutes, cut out, prick with a fork and bake in a very hot oven. Whipped Cream Pudding.—Cov er half an ounce of gelatine with cold water and let it soak an hour Whip a pint of cream. Put a pint of milk on to boil, to which add the gelatine, and strain. Beat the yolks of four eggs and a cupful of sugar together ; stir in the boiling milk Remove from the fire and flavor. When cool place on ice and stir un til thick; then add the whipped cream ; mix and set on ice to harden. Serve with whipped cream. Mayonnaise of Sweetbreads.— Clean and parboil one pair of sweet breads, throw them in cold water for half an hour; remove tho fat and skin and cover with fresh boiling wa ter ; add a teaspoonful of salt and simmer gently for half an hour. When done, stand aside and coob and when cold cut into thin slices. Rub the bottom of the dish with an onion and pour in half a pint of mayonnaise. Place a thin slice of onion in the middle of the bowl, ar range lettuce leaves around it; mix the sweetbreads carefully -with the mayonnaise and put in the centre of the dish. (•Sinner* THE OLD MAN’S SONG. * The apple’s cheeks, like yours were red, Heigliol long ago! The folks had all crept off to bed, Heiglio! the tire did glow; And by the kitchen stove we sat, You and 1, to smile and chat. Two seeds wo from the apple took, Heiglio! long ago! I still can see your bashful look, Heiglio! with cheeks aglow, As on the stove the seeds 1 placed And slipped my arm around your waist. The seeds together jumped away, Heiglio! long ago! An<l on tho spot yon named the day, Heigho! how love doth grow ! We dearly loved each other then, But not as at three score and ten. —P. McArthur, in Now England Magazine. Did you ever feel, when you have dropped a letter in the box, that you would give anything to recall it? There is something positively sol emn in this little every-day action, and yet how much more important is the unkind word that once past our lips, is beyond recall forever. No matter how we may try to smooth matters over the sting re mains and the memory of bitterness lingers long after the sugar coating has been applied. Guard against these slips of the tongue that wound so cruelly, the stabs that cut deeply. It is so much easier to bite the lips and hold back the cutting reply than to let it go beyond redemption, only to be a source of constant worry and rebuke. The indentation of sharp teeth will heal, the lips will lose the pain of that quick repression,but the wound in the heart bleeds unceasing ly. What good does it do to lose your temper ? Like the boomerang it recoils only on yourself. You will feel tho humiliation and the sting worse than the one meant to suffer and .there will creep in a lack of self-respect at the knowledge of your own weakness. Think what you have a mind to. No one can be hung for their thoughts, hut watch the words, that are drops of sure poison, to lie kept corked and label ed far from the chance of everyday use. Righteous indignation is prais worthy, but do not mistake ungov ernable and hasty temper for this phase of self-appreciation. Remem ber, once said, words cannot be un said, therefore look to it that only those meant to go out into the heart of the world without a sting are permitted to escape your lips. THE BOY WAS PUZZLED. “Mamma,” said a small boy last Sunday, looking up from his contem plation of a picture of Jacob’s dream, “angels always wear clothes, don’t they?” “Why, yes,my dear, I suppose so,” said the mother, with a little hesita tion. “And they have wings, don’t they?” “Yes, my son,” with more confi dence. “And the wings are growing on them aren’t they?” “So far as I know they are, my boy - ” “Well now,” said the juvenile So crates with the air of putting a poser, “what I want to know is this ; How do tho angels get their clothes on and off ovpr the wings?” gtrnuTaiwrlxnul* MISSIONARY LESSON.
