TEXT—And we believe and are sure that
thou art that Christ, the Son ot the liv
ing God. John 6:69.
Possibly the
generation to
which the people
of the twentieth
century belong
has more to dis
turb its faith than
any preceding
one. There may
be no rejection qf
the„testhuony of
the senses, of in
tuition, or of faith
itself, but the ap
peals to faith
come from more
sources than for
merly.
The Appeal of Religion Has Changed.
In a former day, the appeal was to
the acceptance of the evangelical
teachings of the New Testament ac
cepted by all denominations, and
sometimes to the particular doctrines
of the denominations, but now it is
made to the acceptance of certain cari
catures of Christianity known as
Christian Science, Russellism. theoso
phy, etc., and sad to say. with a very
large response. This indicates that
man is naturally religious. He wants
something that will meet the demands
of the spiritual craving within, and he
is quite apt to take up with something
that takes on the name of Christian,
or that professes to be biblical, and
yet ridicules evangelical Christianity
and offers a substitute for it, however
fraudulent, it may be.
The Search for Certainty.
Many are asking for certitude, or
certainty, in the things of religion.
How is a man to gain this certainty?
In this consideration let us first note
that there are various spheres.. of
knowledge — physical, philosophical
and spiritual. In the physical sphere
the senses must be the witnesses, in
the philosophical reason, and in the
spiritual faith, although in the spir
itual faith does not reject the witness
ing of the senses and reason In the
physical sphere the testimony of the
senses may be misleading, as one man
may say an object is of one color,
while another man says it is of a dif
ferent color, the fact being that one
of these is certainly color blind, and
it may be that both of them are so
As far as philosophy is concerned
reason may take the reins In her
mouth and plunge into the abyss of
infidelity and atheism as was the case
In France a century ago.
Faith Must Not Be Blind.
While the senses or reason may not
apprehend what faith needs to appre
hend, yet faith makes recognition of
the testimony of history, personal ex
perience, and of any revelation that
God sees fit to make. In the case be
fore us the disciples said that they be
lieved and were sure that Jesus was
the Christ, the son of the living God,
the most important fact for man to
apprehend, the minimum of Christian
belief. We have said that faith rests :
on certain things that may not belong ,
to the supernatural. The many false ;
forms of religion to which we have re
ferred, make strong appeals, that is, in
the vehemence of them, and apparent
ly in their sincerity, but when we ask
for something In connection with them
for our faith to rest upon, they have
really nothing to give, except the ipse
dixlts of some man or woman who
has repudiated all that we have rev
ered and honored in the past. While
Proverb of Love.
Brotherly unity, not only in f^mi- i
lies and in churches, but in all the ,
business affairs of life, is the way in ,
which men should work together. i
"The first Christians were a proverb ■
of love.”
The unbelievers were led to ex-.
claim, "Behold how they love one an- ।
other,” and this-love was manifested
in their business transaction, as in :
their social relations with all about I
them. It recommended Christianity'
as nothing else could have done.
It will do the same today: but II;
Christians are unloving, spiteful and
grasping in their dealings with others,
men will sneeringly ask: "Is this your,
religion? What has it done for you’” |
Oh. that this reproach might be(
taken away! ’
But it will not be removed until
those who bear the Christian name are
controlled in their dealings by the
principles of fairness. Justice and fra-1
ternal love to all men.
Prodigality is the vice of a weak
nature, as avarice is of a strong one. .
—H. Taylor. 1
| there may be some facts presented, as
| in the alleged cases of healing, there
I is no appeal to that which is behind
I us, the experience of millions of Chris
j tian people through the centuries.
A Definite Faith.
The faith of the disciples was very
, definite. “We believe and are sure
that thou art that Christ, the son of
the living God.” The evidence of this
definite faith Is abundant as may be
proved by the men who expressed It
being perfectly willing to certify it by
the sacrifice of wealth, position, and
even life itself. That adherents of
false forms of Christianity have made
great sacrifices will not be questioned,
but in connection with Christian sac
rifice we have a law that has existed
through twenty centuries, and the
blessings that have come out of this
spirit of sacrifice and realized by the
individual have certified to the genu
ineness of the faith —they have hew
wealth, new position, and foretastes
of the life that is not only eternal but
in harmony "with the life of God.
The agent in this; assurance is noth
ing less than the holy spirit of God,
which indicates supernatural origin.
“No man can say that Jesus Is the
Lord, but by the holy ghost.” Here
is where the religion of Jesus Christ
and the apostles is to be differentiated
from any other religion. Notwith
standing that it is from above It does
not relieve from personal responsibll
ity, but the blessings in bearing the
responsibility are so infinitely above
anything that the world has to offer,
that the responsibility may be forgot
ten
RIGHT KIND OF TEACHER
Excellent Example of the Man Who
Makes a Success of Building Up
a Sabbath School.
“in my 26 years’ experience as a
teacher in the Sunday school, every
boy I taught has become a member of
the church.” These words were spoken
to me by a teacher of boys. As I talked
with him I found his method so un
usual and so successful that I thought
it worthy of notice. He did not wait
for a class to come to him, but he
found boys outside the school, lie
brought a new class into the school. He
first labor was to visit, the home of
every boy, finding out all he could
about each one. He retained a class
until every boy united with the church,
then he organized another new class.
The time he remained with one class
varied from two to five years. As he
looked over his teaching life, he was
proud of his boys, and the work they
were now doing as men. I endeavored
to discover the secret of his strong
hold upon the Hie of a boy. He said:
"1 love boys; I study boys; 1 live with
and for boys. Say, don’t you think a
boy is worth while?"—The Christian
Advocate.
Ancestry and Posterity.
Any man who comes of good stock,
and especially an Individual whose
forbears were God-fearing and intelli
gent people, may well take a satisfac
tion in his family line, but such a
heredity creates an extra obligation
to walk worthy of the traditional faith.
It is a good thing to have ancestors
to one's credit,” some one lias said,
“but better to be a credit to our an
cestors.” It ought to be the earnest
alm and endeavor of each successive
generation not only to equal, but, if
ft be possible, to surpass, the mental
and moral attainments of its predeces
i sors. —Zion’s Herald.
His Will.
We shall see him, and want to serve.
; Wo shall be like him, and be able to
serve. We shall know and be pre
pared to serve. Inspiration for serv
ice is vision; equipment for service
In correspondence; preparation for
service In knowledge! Thus himself
will be the reason of all the service of
the new life, and therefore his will
will be the plane of heaven’s activity.
--Rev. G. Campbell Morgan.
; Unselfishness.
The man who is not giving of him
' self every day to his neighbor will be
I like the characterju “Rosmersholm,”
i Ibsen's play; ‘‘who all his life had
■ been storing his mind with the riches
■of ages, and had never given any
■ thing forth. At length, stirred by
‘ some sudden desire, he tried to give
' to the people of his city his wealth of
। wisdom. He stood before them, mute,
IHe had nothing to give. ‘lt was as if,’
' he said later, 'I had been all my life
storing rare things in chests, never
giving anything away; and, when I
wished to give, I found that moths
and rust had entered and destroyed
all ’ ” —Selected.
Set a Good Example.
Goodness, like charity, begins at
home. No one is excepted from its re
quirements, and no one can fairly find
fault with the world unless his or her
own part is thoroughly fulfilled. “Live
such a life that if everybody in the
world lived In the same way, this worM
of ours would be a complete and per
fect one is a Just as well as a wise say-
■ Ing.”

MILLINERY FOR FALL
ADVANCE MODELS ARE ALREADY
BEING DISPLAYED.
Black Velvet and Satin, White Satin,
or Black and White in Combina
tion Seem Destined to Be
Popular Materials.
By MARY DEAN.
As a rule, the first showing of au
tumn millinery is neither attractive
nor illuminating. It does not tempt
one to buy nor does it indicate clear
ly what will be pre-eminently modish
later in the season, and it consists
chiefly of non-committal models, made
up to supply the demand for first hats
that will replace the battered and
faded summer straws without being
radical enough to have an 'important
place in the new season’s outfit.
However, the advance displays, both
of spring and fall fashions are much
Wr-r
p
I to wait a few weeks before making
her choice, there have been attractive
models on view ever since tho first
of August, and Hie number of these
models has Increased day by day.
Black velvet, black satin, white sat
in, or black and white satin are the ,
materials most often used for the ,
fashioning of the first fall millinery.
These models are, of course, built
up on the lines of ffiose made of straw
and are trimmed with flowers or
feathers. »
Flowers and feathers also trim the
bats shown as advance fall models.
The hats in the fall are prone to
smallness -comfortable, practical lit
tie shapes, not too pretentious —and,
as usual, a goodly supply of small
hats is in evidence; but. from the
first, there have been shown, side by
side with the small shapes, an unusual
number of large hats and medium
sized hats such as have been worn
during the late summer season. And
it is predicted that the larger hat will
not. lose its prestige.
A majority of the large models are
made of velvet, though very fre
quently the velvet ends a few inches
■ from the edge of the brim, and the
border is of maline or lace.
Some very stunning black and white
hats are also on the sailor Unes. A
model built upon the sailor lino was
of black and white satin.. White satin
formed the crown and brim while the
facing was of
black satin. There
was a trimming
directly at the
back of delicate
clusters of white
parad is e, one
spray upstanding
while another fell
over the brim at
the left side.
Shown in tho
sumo shop with
the two above de
scribed were
some smaller,
shapes. Some
were extremely
eccentric while
others were lik-
i able little hats.
One model was a close fitting turban
of black velvet with a long point
shooting out and up at the back. The
model was trimmed with sprays of
grayish-colored feathers.
Another was a Napoleon shape of'
black velvet and maline. Shirred ma
line formed the crown and brim, while
the facing was of black velvet. The
hat was trimmed with a single scarlet
| rose at the left side front on the up
, turned brim.
One remarkably' attractive small
model of black also shown in large
| drawing was trimmed with two large
। white feather ornaments.
DANGER IN BATHING SEASON
! For Many Reasons Girls Make a Mis
take in Seeking to Acquire a
Coat of Tan.
The girl who wishes to keep her skin
and hair beautiful will exert the great
est care of it during the salt water
bathing season. She should not linger
on the beach after she comes out of
the water, but should wash off all salt
from her skin before exposing herself
to the sunshine again.. If the salt w-a
ter reaches her hair at all, it should be
waehed off at once. She should not
neglect this at any cost, for the brine
is very harmful to her hair and scalp,
forming a hard crust on the head as it
dries.
To protect the complexion from the
salt water, It is a good idea to rub
plenty of cold cream into the face be
fore going in. The girl may dust it
over with powder, if she does not. care
to pass out before the other bathers
with her face all shiny from the cream.
The grease will keep out the salt water
in some degree and will serve as a pro
tection against the sun.
Girls cannot be too strongly urged
to do everything in their power to care
for thdlr skin and hair. They should
try to avoid a tan as they would poison
ivy. It may seem desirable at the mo
ment, but when they wear low-necked
frocks the tan on’ their .throats, shaped
like the necks of their bathing suits,
will look so ugly that they will sin
cerely regret ever having acquired it.
Then they will- be even more sorry
when the tan begins to fade and they
look like victims of the Jaundice, to
say nothing of having skin like
leather.
COMFORT ON WASHING DAY
Simple Device Does Away With the
Constant Stooping That Is Pain
ful and Injurious.
The busy housewife often complains
of backache after washing day; this
is, as a rule, not due to the washing
of the clothes, but to the continual
stooping down to the clothes-basket
when putting out or gathering In the
clothes. This disagreeable pain could
be saved by simply tying the basket
to an old small table with four legs,
the basket could be nailed down, but
if tied it could then be used without
the lege by simply untying the string
at both sides.
The strings will easily thread
through the wicker of the basket, and
a hook could be screwed at each side
of the table ami lhe string attached;
It can be carried about quite easily,
and no stooping whatever need be
done. If no small ti^hlo is available,
the handy man can make supports on
the basket itself; this is done as fol
lows: On the bottom fix two pieces
of wood, one at each side; at each
end of the wood fix bamboo rods, all
of equal size, of course. This will
make four legs, and answers exactly
the same purpose as the table.
Bamboo rods may be bought at
most hardware stoyes for very lit
tle; one rod would make two legs, so
that the cost Is very trivial; the rods
are very strong and firm.
THANKFUL FOR THE BLOUSE
Women Would Find It Hard to Get
Along Without This Very Serv
iceable Garment.
What did unfortunate woman do be
fore the blouse, pure and simple, ex
isted?
One forgets if we ever knew. Life
seems always to have been fufi of
blouses, and though we may scoff at
them occasionally, and insist on the
one-piece gown, all women know we
want them in our wardrobe. Their
price is above rubies^ sometimes.
The success of the Parisian fashion
of blouses of vivid colors to be worn
with white pique and duck or putty
and maize-colored linen skirt is in
doubt.
A pretty muslin blouse has a fichu
edged with the frills we love so dear
ly this season—those of the picot
edged variety—and the turn-over cuffs
of the elbow sleeves show the same
dainty frillings.
You can get a cool frock in black
and white for summer wear and know
you are absolutely in the approved
fashion. The magpie blouse can be In
black and white handkerchief linens
or in the chiffons. One is of snowy
chiffon, with a pinafore bodice effect
of black moire charmeuse tied at the
waist with a large bow.
Perfume Bottle With Long Stopper.
The latest in perfume bottles is one
whose stopper fits to the bottom of the
bottle. With this stopper the Trench
women, it is said, touch the eyebrows,
the lobes of the ears, the lips, brush
the hair lightly, and finish with a pat
or two on the throat.
Tiny Handkerchiefs.
The smartest handkerchiefs are
very small and of fine batiste or linen,
and edged with a tiny tulle frill.
Sometimes the Initials are embroid
ered on the tulle and sometimes on
the batiste.
earlier than they
were even a very
’ few years ago,
and now we get a
view of some chic
French hats long
before the strict
ly smart folk
come back to the
city's haunts.
Buyers send over
at least a few
models well In
advance of their
own return, and
though tho wom
an who does not
absolutely need a
hat will do well

Milledgeville.—The warehouses of
this city are keenly alive to the pres
ent crisis in the cotton market and
they are leaving nothing undone to
advance the market and properly care
for the farmer. Those here who are
closest in touch with the situation be
lieve that satisfactory arrangements
will be made to care for the’erop. The
Samuel Evans Sons company ware
house and the Horne-Andrews Commis
sion company, both large concerns in
this city, issued a statement to their
patrons in which they assure them that
they are ready to protect the interests
of their customers, enabling them to
hold their cotton until the marK&t be
comes right. With the local ware
houses behind the local conditions and
the national government actively at
work for the maintenance of price and
the protection of the cotton crop, it is
a safe conclusion that the grower will
not suffer from inability to market his
crop or from any very serious loss
from low prices.
Augusta. —A local house has receiv
ed the first export order for 500 bales
of cotton to be sent to Barcelona. The
local market was particularly interest
ed in the order, seeing in it an indica-.
tion that the foreign mills will not all
top exporting cotton, and that the
Liverpool buying houses feel reason
ably safe in ordering cotton sent to
the other side.'
