Newspaper Page TextNew York City.—Such a simple little dress as this one is needed by every child. It can be made from lawn or batiste, from plain white or from prettily figured materials, from embroidered muslin if something very dainty is wanted, and it can be made from gingham and other inex pensive wash fabrics for the hours of play and hard usage. Also it is quite correct for cashmere, albatross, chai ns and the other simple wool ma terials that many mothers use for the cold weather frocks of the girls who have reached the mature age of six. The dress itself is tucked to form the yoke, and consequently making is a very simple matter and the sleeves can be in full or elbow length, while the dress can be trimmed with band ing or left plain, as liked. The dress is cut with front and back portions and is finished at the neck with a straight standing collar. Whether the sleeves are cut to the wrists or the elbows they are gath ered into bands. The quantity of material required for the medium size (four years) is three and one-fourth yards twenty four, two and one-fourth yards thir ty-two or two and cne-eighth yards forty-four inches wide, with three yards of insertion, one and three eighth yards of edging to trim as il lustrated. Wheat Pattern Fashionable. Everybody who designs is making use of the wheat pattern. Yellow Linen Suit. If you can find a pretty shade of yellow in a linen, you will have a suit that is considered very smart this season. Four-Piece Skirt. The skirt that provides slight flare at the lower edge is one of the very latest to have appeared, and this model shows that feature at its best. It is slightly high waisted and close fitting over the hips, and the pleated panels give long, becoming lines at' the same time that they provide ad ditional fulness. Pongee with trim ming of buttons and finish of stitch ing is the material illustrated. When made in round length the skirt is adapted to afternoon dress, when made in walking length for general morning and street wear. The skirt is made in four gores with four additional panels. The s.'de gores are lapped over onto the front and the back and the panels are joined to their edges. The closing is made invisibly. When walking length is desired both the gores and the panels are to be cut off on indicated lines. The quantity of material required for the medium size is nine and one half yards twenty-four or twenty seven, five and three-fourth yards for* ty-four or fifty-two inches wide, width of skirt at lower edge four and three-fourth yards, including pleats. e>unbaij-&cfiooF INTERNATIONAL LESSON COM MENTS FOR JUNE 20. Review of the Weekly Topics For the Second Quarter of the Yean— Golden Text, Acts 4:.lß—Ques tions For Individual Review. Golden Text—" With great power gave the apostles witness of the res urrection of the Lord Jesus.” Acts 4.33. The lessons of the quarter are very rich in truth. We classify some of the teachings: I. The Holy Spirit. In Acts 10:19 we havethe guidance of the Holy Spirit. In Acts 9:17 we have the filling with the Holy Spirit as a preparation for service. In Acta 11:24 we have the fulness of the Holy Spirit. In Acts 13:2, 4, we have the Holy Spirit guiding the church and calling men and sending them forth to definite work. In 13: 9-11 we have the Holy Spirit impart ing spiritual discernment and bold ness. In 15:28 we have the presiden cy of the Holy Spirit in the council of the church, bringing it Into unity and sound conclusions con.,?rning ques tions under debate. 11. Jesus Christ. The lessons of the quarter also con tain much precious truth concerning Jesus Christ. Indeed, He is the cen tre of all the teaching. In Acts 9:3-6 we have Jesus Christ in the glory, shining with a glory above that of the noontime sun. In verses 15 and 16 we have the Lord Jesus as the head of the church to be witnessed to before Gentiles, kings and children of Israel. Acts 11:20 we have the Lord Jesus as the centre of true preaching, and verse 21 we see the power of His hand. In Acta 13:38, 39, we see Jesus as the One through whom forgiveness of sin is preached and in whom all who be lieve are justified from all things. In Acts 14:1-3 we see Him as the Mighty Deliverer from sickness. In Acts 15: 1-29 we see Him as the One who ful fills and brings to an end the law of Moses. 111. Prayer. The lessons of the quarter are rich in teaching about thepower of prayer. In Acts 10:1-4 the prayer of Cor nelius for light and leading is an swered, and in verse 9 the prayer of Peter is also answered. In Acts 12: 1-11 prayer opens the doors of a Ro man prison, strikes the chains from the hands of a helpless captive and overthrows the skilfully laid plans of a powerful king. In Acts 9:11 prayer is seen as the proof of the genuineness of Saul’s conversion. In Acts 13:2-4 prayer brings the guidance of the Holy Spirit and preparation for mis sionary service.

Theme: The Habit and Kindness and Consideration For Others. Who went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed.— Acts, 10:38. The tendency of business life is to make men calculating, selfish, limited in their sympathies. Thi3 disposition, stressed each work day and empha sized by competition, becomes a habit of the soul, which takes control sf life. The tendency of the life of pleasure is Jhe same. Those whose eyes are single to their own enjoyment, who are intent upon every opportunity for amusement, become superficial, cold and limited in sympathy. Selfishness with them likewise becomes a habit. Qualities that we admire, nobility, kindness, sympathy, service, are to be secured like the practical qualities of life by making them habits of the soul. They will not come as the re sult of spasmodic action or sentimen tal day dreams. Acts performed dally ripen into habits. Do you want to keep from being the mean and selfish individual the practical life of busi ness would make you? Plan to do some deed of kindness every day, some act which has no relation to your business, your own happiness or success. I)o your own work faithfully and well, but see if there is not an oppor tunity to lend a helping hand to an other, to say a kind word, do an en couraging deed. In the midst of the hurly-burly of life, in the daily con tact with men, take time for a look now and again for the weaker man, for the man fighting bravely against great odds, for the wounded and bruised In the battle of life. Culti vate the habit of kindness, of consid eration for others with whom you come in contact. But not only for those with whom you come in contact, but others you do not see, a countless host in this great city, who daily stare with what courage they can muster, but with dread as well, into the raging eyes of the wolf of Poverty. Our city abounds in distress and suffering and misery which men might see if they would step out of their selfish routine. Do some deed of kindness each day until it sets into a habit of the soul. This is practical Christianity. A good way to create such a habit is to commit one’s self to some form of Christian or altruistic service. One of the objections urged by our pleas ure loving natures against definite service of any kind is that it ties us down. This is really one of its ad vantages. When you commit your self to the service of others, or make engagements with yourself to per form some duty, your good Intentions do not dissipate into thin air, but are harnessed into practical work, and the disposition to be of use to your fellow-men becomes yours at last as the result of the habit of definite Christian activity. Moody’s Testimony. Two months before his death, Mr. Moody, while at Central Church, at Brooklyn, gave the following testi mony: - sit .53 “I know if I should be asked to be a witness in a court my testimony would be taken; and I ivant you to take my testimony as to what it is to h$ with the Spirit. There are two epochs in my life which stand out clear.' One is w£ci}. I W 33 be tween sixteen and sovente'enT I was born of the Spirit. There can never comq a greater blessing to any man on fhls earth than to be born again “born from above—to have the God natqre planted in him. God hjis been good to me, He has showered bless ing after blessing ujpon me, but the greatest blessing—next to belpg born of the Spirit—came sixteen years af terwards, when I was filled with the Spirit; and He has never left me to this day. He is for all—women, as well as men. When Pentecost was fully come, the whole church was qualified for work in God’s cause.” —R. A. Torrey. Home Herald Aphorisms. The Chris Man who feels no interest in fallen men soon falls himself. Hold fast that which is good and then get some more of the same kind. Getting out of bed backward Isn’t half as unlucky as getting off a mov ing car that way. The pocket which contains a bad man’s pistol is utilized by a gentle man for a notebook. The Bible is so plain that every body understands it but a fool, and he need not err therein, but somehow he always does. Some men are bachelors because they think marriage is a failure, and some because their attempt to get married was a failure. It Is a mean man who after stick ing his head out of the coach window wanti to sue the railroad company for getting a cinder in his eye. The rich hustle to get richer—or, to get away from where they are. The poor hustle just as much to keep from getting poorer—or, stay where they are. It has been held by a court ttiat an engagement ring is a gift and can not be recovered by the jilted man. It seems, to the N’ew York Ameri can. a cheap enough way to get off at that. Now it is Carrie Nation, notes the New York Sun. who joins that great army of uplifters that Mve made enough out of reform to retire. Do You Get Up With a Lame Back?
