of Darkness
Let is therfore east oil the works

enjoy fully tlie fruete of the re-
demption we should realize that
"the night is past arid day is at
band." We in•e view prone to for-
get that "the light shines in the
darkness" and that it depends en-
tirely on ourselves whether the dark
is shall comprehend it. •
Tim Apostle urges its to pierce thie
ditekeess, which is sin—in in
aeought and desire, in words and
works. lie calls sin the works of
clareness because it is the work of
;eaten, who is the spirit of darkness.

works, for the work of the devil Is
wrought la secret and hidden from
the light. "They loved darkeess ra-
ther than the light, for their works
were evil."
This sense of evildoing causes the
greatest criminal to feel ashamed of
his actions. Hence he hies in secret
to sin and strives to cover his vic-
ious life from the eyes of his fellow
ex'eatures. How maxiy, if their
souls were uncovered, would care to
harbor ',route unchaste, envious; un-•
charitable thoughts and desires? If
the world's eye were constantly Ax-
ed upon us would we be guilty of
theft, fornication, adultery, rioting,
drunkenness, Sic.? :end yet the
warning that "the fearful, and the
unbelieving, and the abominable,
and murderers, and fornicators, and
sorcerers, and idolaters, and all
liars shall have their portion in the
pool burning With ere and brim-
stone" does not seeui to deter us:
To escape the terrible penalty,
"the wages of sin," St. Paul exe
harts us to "put on the armor of
light." Thi e armor is simply the
many 'virtues which, when acquired,
become our strong defence in the
combats with the powers of dark-
ness. But to acquire this armor is
no easy task, because we have to
exert ourselves to the sticking point.

its brilliancy, that looking thereon

NEW MODES,
Fashion is devoting herself e.xelu-
sively to the beautifying of tall,
slirn figteres; there seems to be no con-
sideration for the many of us who
do not boast of "Lady Jane" de-
portment. Three-quarter and "sev-
en -eighths" coats are the inevitable
style, even for "coat -and -skirt" wear,
this season. These are strictly tail-
or -matte and fitting, a striking con-
trast, indeed, to the loose saes that
have had such a long vogue. We are
also adopting "picture" dress to a
lio•ge degree; even the street dress
has reached such a degree of charm
and perfection as to reconauensl it
very strongly to all lovers of femin-
ine grace. The soft materials, the
ample skirts and full sleeves, the
dt•ooping collars, the large, simply -
trimmed hats all coin:bine to give
the modern woman the same roman-
tic, enchanting appearance as the
grandes -dames of .bygone days. And
the infinite variety permissible in
styles, materials and colors makes

PARIS TOILETS.
In rariS taste is inclining to reds,
chiefly tomato and terra-cotta
shades. Same of the toilets are real-
ly beautiful ;harmonies 1.n color, and
seem to blend admirably with the au-
tumnal tints. 'With such frocks tbe
millinery is invariably slia.ded to ear -
reveled. Tim severely -plain gerges
and cloths are simply braided or
piped with velvet.
Touches of black seem to be the
neeessary finish to a smart gown of
the moment—not the dab of black
in form of a ehou or a bow with
drooping ends, .whicli was once the
acme of good taste, but so disposed
as to look like a necessary part in
the tont ensemble •of the trimming.
Very cobwebby black lace, veiling'
white, is a, pretty idea., and another
plan is to arrange a sort of double
ladder of satin bows of graduated
=es on the corsage. This last is
the latest revival of a very old mo:cle,
and it looks extremely- well on some
of the beconaing blouses and bodices
of to -clay.
• Bright shades of electric and peri-
winkle blue are giving place to ' the
more subdued eavy—always the best
tone for the orthodox country coat

conspicuous than the use of kid,

in this m.amier it is most effective,
and one of the smartest tweed cos-
tumes made for the shooting season
was of rough grey. homespun orna-
mented with revers and pipings of
brig•lit green leather. Soft suede
vests, often elaborately embroidered,
are being used for cloth costumes;
while for serviceable wear blouses
made of Md, of the very finest qual-
ity and lined with silk, are the lat-
est thing; and form an expensive
item in the wardrobe of the woman
of fashion.
13y -the -by, for morning wear our
tailor bodices have a point back and
front, sometimes a habit back, and
they are made both single and dou-
ble-breasted; in the latter case there
sliould be a V-shaped opening and
revers to show a smart little vest
and cravat. Newmarket bodices with
'deep basques frequently accompany
the favorite short skirt.
Jaunty little coats • with tight -fit-
ting backs, but perfectly straight
fronts, with the axeeption that down
the centre of each front is a lapped
seam which runs into the shoulder
are very smart. These usually have
a velvet collar, and are fastened
Chesterfield style.
A prevailing autumnal fashion are
the elosely-etting waistcoats. They
are seen in delicately -embroidered
tauslins and eambries, and as the sea-
son advances silk and brocade will
be seen in conjunction with smart
little cutaway coats,
NEW FURS
-
As for furs, the new coats are
quite altered in .style to previous
seasons, Every possible skin is now
converted into wearable 111aterial,
and webave many fresh furs on the
market from which to choose our
cold -weather coats. A quite up-to-
date model we recently saw was of
sable trimmed with chinchilla. It
was closelyeitting as the now vogue
demands, while the back tailed off
into a point, shawl shape, like a
man's "morning" coat.
One that we liked much better urns

Amos, in his third, fourth, and

this time prevailed in Samaria,. The
words whose glorious beauty is a
fading flower are connected by the
Revision with the preceding clause—
"and to the fadieg flower of his
glorious beauty." Both "flower" and
"crown" refer to the garlands With
which guests at banquets wore
crowned. Aro on the head of the fat

Revision make this passage plain. in
meaning.The king of 'Assyria is to
clean out the land like a great over-
flow of waters in a time of storm.
No modern war, presents an analogy
to the conquest of an ancient king-
dom by Assyrians. Everything was
ovetswept by them. Cities were
levelled, populations were carried to
remote regions, and mercantile and
social family relatioes were annihil-
ated.

aria.

those who were mercifully permitted
to remain in the land, and especially
to Judith, Jehovah was still ready
to be a Crown and diadem. This
residue was made up in part of tilos*

the crown of Israel is spoken of as a.
fading garland, the crown of Judah
is made of gold and jewels. Many
