Moral Courage Is the Great Need to
Avert Moral Ruin
And t,•evi(1 said unto Saul, 1 catlike
to with these, kr I have not proved
hen. And he took his sluff in his
band and chose him live smooth stoles
out of the brook and put theta in a
shepherd's bag which he had, even m
a scrip; and his sling was in his hand;
and he drew near to Iho Philistine. -
I. Samuel xvii., 30.40.
Thus early m his career did David
the shepherd boy assert the distinguish-
ing quality of his life. Ile must be him-
self. Ile was gracious, tactful, ready to
try means which other people wanted
Um to use. Ile was willing to put (n
5►,ul's armor. Ile vas always humble,
ready to acknowledge his faults, wil-
hng to receive advice, but the one clear
note which he always struck, a note
with the ring of a true coin, was sincer-
ity. When it comes to the battle he
crust have his own oft -used weapons;
he must fight his awn way.
All of us are sinners; all of us have
cut faults, but we venture to say that
'for all of us to -day there ill one etcan-
cut distinction that always retna.ns :n
our moral and intellectual judgment of
men -do they ring true? \\'hen we say,
"Chat man is square; he means what
h ! says; you can trust hien," how that
covers a multitude of sins.
Ile holds opinions with which we ut-
terly disagree, but we say ho Is -sin-
cere and we respect him. ile is stupid,
uninteresting, narrow, but ho is hon-
est, and
WE GLADLY TOLERATE I1IM.
Ile has many faults; he is weak in will,
perhaps intemperate, perhaps sensual,
swept on by forces of evil that have
oserwhelnled him, but ho fights against
Them and is honest and manly and
brave, and his words and deeds are full
of good meaning, and we forgive hint
end Love to help hire. He is irritable
and cursed with an unfortunate man-
ner; he is tactless and blundering, but
he is as trustworthy as lisle and as
straight as an arrow, and we believe
in hien.
And without it all the gifts of nature
and of grace are marred and value-
l(ss. Though he speaks with !he
tongues of amen and angels, the moment
we find hint out and know that it is
all honey words and glittering un-
ealities (he eloquence !weenies ns
se,undiug brass 1hr a tinkling cymbal.
Though he has faith and goes to church
and sings hymns aid utters prayers.
cud all the while is doing it for social
re:agmition or political influence or busi-
ness success, the moment we lind hhn
0111 we call him hypocrite and dismiss
hint.
Ile may feed the poor and build hos-
pitals and colleges and churches and
libraries, and yet, when we know, (.r
even imagine that we know, that he has
oppressed the poor and been hard us
flail and stingy and unmerciful to all
those whha-worked for hear or dealt with
hint, no amount of expinnution will
ever redeem his one irreparable taut!.
There Is something very remarkable
about our I-ord:s discrimination between
men. Ile has compassion on the mul-
titudes; Ile is most sympathetic with
physical suffering; Ile is Most nierciful
anti tender with sinners and outcasts.
Ilc is most tolerant with honest doubt-
ers. Ile takes into the wide embrace
of His arms outstretched upon the
cross, the whole tragic life of the sin -
sick world, but Ile turns with
ALMOST SAVAGE FURY
cel that mental and moral insincerity
which made many of the leading class-
es of His own day children of the devil.
Ile seems to say, be true to yourself;
bring better ideals into your life.
It is that kind of manhood, simple,
frank, open, true to itself, that alone
will save our politics and our society
from the demoralization of its unreali-
ties.
What we need supremely to -day is
moral courage. Thousands of young
men and women would be saved from
morel ruin if they are only brave
enough to be true to themselves and
the real convictions of their hearts. If
we know that gambling, intemperance.
sensunlity are dragging us down, the
first step to victory is to fling compro-
mise and all excuses aside and speak
out frankly to our friends. 1f we think
a thing is wrong, let us boldly say ro,
and then there will come to us the larg-
er courage to go on aid win a greater
victory.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL

A SIMPLE PLAN FOR TEACHING.
Every lesson in This quarter is a story:
c(:nscqu eptly on Review Sunday we hove
eleven stories to review. Two of thein
it and 11) are stories concerning Jacob,
four of then (Rt, iV, V, and VI) stories
about Joseph, and five of them (VII, V111,
IX X XI) stories about Moses ; for al-
though i.esson VII docs not mention
Moses, It is a description of the sad con-
ditions whet were the background of
\Moses's early lige. The morn' and spire
tun' instruction for which all these
stories are told Is surnsnrd up in our
Golden 'text, Isn. 43. Y, which, by a
beautiful figure. assures us that God will
be our Companion and Helper through
all difficulties and troubles.
Conduct your review in any way you
like, by questions, by word pictures, by
pictures cut out of quarterlies, fey assign-
ing each lesson to one pupil -any %way :
only make sure that the %logy of cu(•k
lesson is clearly recalled, and so recalled
as to enforce the (i(elden 'Pert for the
quarter. Show how (Ned befriended and
b'essed Jacob; how "the Lonl was with
Joseph," preserving Ids life, giving hint
strength of character, wisdom, charity.

MAKING LINGERIE WAISTS.
The (act is aptly proven by the fash-
ion of this year MIA there is nothing
new under the sun. None of them really
are new ; they are only revivals, but re-
%ivaLs of such consummate art and such
infinite variety they Como to ns ander
lh.e most welcome guise of novelly, and
in many ways are so different to %vthat
we have been accnslonled to that we use
quite safe in calling Then' new. What
will be worn? Why, everything, al-
most. But there are a few broad rules
to be observed. Nothing louse or
bloused is permitted anywhere about
Me dress except in the sleeves; lines
must be preserved in all their natural
beat.Iy. The waist line is high and
round. The kimono sleeve and the wide,
draped armhole is a marked develop-
ment, but, pretty as it is for summer
materials, it looks as if it might bo
killed by kindness at present.
The dainty lingerie, lace, embroidery,
and net waists still are to be worn, and,
while the.rcally good ones are expensive
to buy or have made, the woman who
does her own sewing can have a dozen
o- more if she clv,uses without incur-
ring any extiorbilant expense. A num-
be. of pretty ones are illustrated in this
article, and can Le made readily with
Me aid of a plain shirt waist pattern.
When you have a design to follow
murk off the widths to be taken up with
tucks, insertion, etc., on your pnitern,
always working from the middle, both
in the back and front. if the material is
to be tucked or box plaited in any way
cut e" tear off lengths for the front, back
and sleeves, and do the tucking before
cutting the garment out ; then lay your
pattern on the tucked cloth and lay on
the insertion, medallions, or whatever
form of trimming is to be used. This is
basted carefully, sewed, and cut out
underneath, and finished as notes pl last
week directed.
A great ►nany women are ]earning to
de the Irisin crochet work, and for those
who do This work the waist diescrited
below will not bo difficult. The entiro
wnls!, except collar and cuff hands, is
mode of three-inch squares of medal -
liens of the lace alternated with squares
of the material laid in Cine tucks. The
edges of the lucked squares are hemmed
-rolled, if possible -and overhanded on
to the Ince. Plan to have the middle of
a row of the squares for the middle• of
the front ; fasten the waist in the back,
Craving tete buttonholes made on a fly -
piece, which Is attached to the under side,
of the waist, right side. The bands for
the neck and sleeves are of strips of in-
sertion with a lace edge. This lace work
is nice for "pickup" work, and it is sur-
prising how rapidly it grows. 11 is
taught in some of the downtown stores.
One of the prettiest waists seen lately
was made almost entirely of strips of
Cluny Inco insertion, put together with
a small fagoting stitch. i'or a waist of
this kind ten yards of two and one-half
or throe -inch insertion are needed, and
the strips are joined so as to run length-
wise on the waist. A good-sized shoulder
plait is laid, so as to guarantee plenty of
fullness.
There is a shallow yoke with square
corners, put in on both front and back.
T. make this yoke lay the front and
back of your patterns together eat Mei
shoulder seats and truce out the shape'
of the yoke, snaking it five inches deep
in the front, three and one-half or four
inches deep in the back, and seven or,
seven and one-half inches wide across
the bottom. Cut out a pattern of the
yoke (it has no shoulder seen), and on
tins pattern baste alternate slops of
linen tape one-(ptarler of an inch wide
and strips of Cluny insertion one ins!)
wide, and leave an eighth -inch space
between the rows of linpe and insertion.
These eighth -inch spaces are filled in Hiking na• something
with the fugoling stitch. Lay this yoke el cine nut what --but
et place on the tree waist, baste down .
carefully, and cul out the lace under-'
nenlh. The outline of the yoke may be
finished In any desired way. One way
which looks well is to Glitch the yeke
down, after having turned all the edges
to and carefully bs,sI1ng down, then
whipping n narrow lace edge on, so it
slants out prettily.
The cuffs and collars are runde to
match the yoke, and the holey of the
sleeves is made like the body of the
wast. Both Mete waists should have a
foundnlion of china silk, which keeps it
well in place. These are stylish as well
as practical waists, anti look excceeding-

of Valenciennes lace and hairpin work,
bordered by guipure madahons with tiny
rit bon rosettes in the centre of each, and
below this are puinted pieces bordered
with a narrow insertion and finished
ktltaig of the net. '1'Ito illuetraton will
show the proper lengths and slant which
should be given to each piece. The
sleeves arc a little fuller than any other
described so far, and are prettily trim-
med with ribbon and the net killing.
The waist is lined with chiffon.
And now conies one a little more cla-
berate than any of the Deters. The
material used is a fine allover lace, with
tee smallest sort of an inset down the
middle of the front and beautifully
shaped of Irish point, This lice also form-
ing the collar. The sleeves easily can be
copied from the picture, and the entire
waist is chiffon lined. The modeled
jumper effect is made of soft satin or
silk, cut on the bias. in this instance
the satin is a delicate green, edged with
a tiny chiffon ruching, and from this
point up there are Iwo additional ruch-
ings, as can be seen. The design is
carried out on the hack to match the
front. The waist is finished at the bot-
tom with u crush girdle of the satin.
'There was an article: given last week tell-
ing clearly ihew to attach a girdle or

Paris goes to bed early. says a Ger-
man newspaper writer who has been
making a study of its night hie. For
the few who sit up -a handful of foolish
and dissipated persons and somo sight-
seeing strangers --there is little excite-
ment and still less teal amusement.
From 10 o'clock or so, when the gen-
eral crowd deserts the cafes for honllb'
and bed, down to midnight, the streets
are dreary and almost deserted. 'Then
there is a brief renewal of lite as the
theatres are turned out.
At one cafe to which after Theatre
crowds resort soft boiled eggs, rolls and
chocolate are n specialty. The chocolate
es what a great majority of all the vise
less to all the cafes want. The after
theatre supper is the exception in Paris.
Clot chocolate is the rule. The I'eri-
sian drinks it as hot and as fast 88 pos-
sible. The women de not remove their
wraps nor the amen (heir overcoats. The
whole proceeding is summary. They
are in a hurry to get home. For the
vast majority even of pleasure seekers
the Paris night is ail over at 2 a.ni.
As for the foolish people who insist on
sitting up they all drift out to Mont-
martre with its traditions,
REAL AND IMAGINARY,
of revels in which artists and their
models took part, supplying their own
entertainment in singing, playing and
declaiming poetry. \\hotever may have
