A transient' te wave of efnotionalisra arouses, us from our apathy; and then our religion Imes life and movement again for another week,. to prove at lest as useless as a noxious swamp lit net by eters but. by t fireflies,and within whose bounds lato, thing sweet or inspiring can endure. Such dead souls and characters cannot praise the Lord., Some of us, however, make our reli- gion a living factor, which, finds not its sole satisfaction in formal worship,. but demands the translation of that religion into lite as well, so that in our daily work we may show its influence as a motive force for good.. Can it, not be said of such people that their life is a reli- gion and their religion is life—not merely a prayer, a, ceremony, a bending of the knee, a folding of the hands, nut a radiant, useful, con-sistent life, a bless- ing to God and man? 'THEY TRULY 'PRAISE THE LORD. For that, after all, is the test of aur religion. Does, it impel us to right thought and action and help us to rea- lize the highest ideals of manhood and womanhoocl? Does it make our charac, ter firm and genuine and mould into harmonious growth the hidden powers •of our inmost soul? All else is jargely sentimentalism, upon which no edifice tan- be securely built. Religion must not be limited to our relations to the Almighty, but it con- cerns , as. Vitally, Ottrrelattens ha our neighbor. Does' it enter our borne and makeIt more 'helpful and loving? .Does it*enter the- shopiith.e the mill, the market, and promote juStieereand mercy. between debtor and croditornemployer, aL1emiti0Y0, The humblest wage-earner and the' lordliest proPrietor? Does it aid in banishing trickery, distioneetY, graft? Does it help in enforcing right- eousness as a vital 'element in pociety ? If Men, and women would • regard re- ligion as a living force extending over thete whole range of -individual activity in -every relation there would be nothing visionary in such a readjustment of con- ditions as would make the atnaosphere of business as fragrant' as the atmos- phere of worship. Did not the monk who wrote that. . "TO WORK WAS TO PRA?" suggest the' ideal side of mut daily call- ing? There is something inspiring In a liv- ing religion that appeals hor breadth and synimetry, not narrowness and one -Sided growth, which makes .the church doors swing outward and sees through the synagogue 'window awider stretch of sky, which views all. life as its altar and every field of human effort the seed ground for highest endeavor. How the world would sweep exaltingly into the newer day With such religion exempli- fied and earth be, made the heaven of heavens, as justice, mercy and peace abide forever with men.

The art of making successful millin- ery bows is not to be learned in a mo- ment, and the amateur "chou") or bow of ribbon is likely to lack the deft touch which practice, in addition to natural aptitude, alone can give it. In accord- ance with present fashions, the bows 'Whin are used to trim' the crowns of the hats are upstanding, but must be soft and carelessly posed. When the ribbon is sufileiently stiff, wiring should be dispensed with, but in case of the soft eatin and washing ribbons, ome gupport is necessary and wire—fine and pliable—hes to be pressed into service.. One of the newest lows of the mo- ment is thatiefashioned of ten loops, re- gardless of any end. This bow, to be explicit, is, in reality, formed of . four large and six short loops, divided in the centre by a sin ist of ribbon, the loops being made to ,nd. out some- what etiffly, the taller nes grouped in the centre. Another fevarite ribbon arrangement ie. the butterfly bow, composed of two Imps and one end of broad null rib- bon 'aught in the centre with a gat buckle. Some of the newest of those buckles are frequently made of wire, covered with chenille and an intretae,- ing of rosebuds or other flowers, strikingly pretty, millinerial accessory which can easily be manufactured et home. - The new French sailors, with their ex- eggerated forward "tilt," require a high upward bow atthoside, the loops being well 'wired, so That the bow may assume the correct shape. e This bow is usual - made solely of loops, Somewhat af- ter -the efeie of a growing lettuce, melt lonii • elven a turn—inside entenaf. ter ine hew, is made. ha sewing the. bow to the bat, double eaten and a long Mit* darning needle Should be need, the latter in preference to the ordinary needle.

Tilli SUNDA': SC110011 INTERNATIONAL LeSSON, JUNE 17. Lesson Ian The Transfiguration Golden Text: Luke 9, 05, THE LESSON WORD • STUDIES., Note.—The text oh the Revised Version Is used as beets for these Word Studies. : •• Retirement vvith hia Disciples—The events of to -days lesson like those of the la,st ° belong to the third period of the Galilean ministry, during the second northern journey. In the sparsely set- tled regions near the foot of Mount Her- mon and not far from Cresarea Philippf Jesus at last found the kingesought Mace where he might for a short. time at leaet be alone with his disciples. Here it was, then, that he revealed himself more fully unto the twelve. And here doubt- less he instructed them concerning malty things not recorded in ourtlGospel nar- ratives. Tradition fixes the site ef t the transfiguration. on Mount Tabor, a comparatively low mountain, regular in outline, about six elites from Nazareth on the north-eastern boundary of the Plain of Esdraelon. But Mount Tabor at this time was foirtitted on its summit, and being only -thirteen hundred feet higher than the surrounding plain, with. no projecting points, it hardly offered the seclusion necessary for such a Wye-. tattoo. Moreover, Jesus when last mentioned, was , in the vicinity o Cteearea .Philippi, near riViount Hermon, where,. in all probability, he had re- rnained with his disciple.s during the intervening period.- Mount Hermon - was more than nine thousand feet high, with tnany protuding. spure and lower focithillsi On one ' of 'these spurs. pf Mount Hermon, therefOre, we are in all probability to ithinle of the transfigure.. tion as having occurred. Verse •28. About eight day S after— Matthew and Mark each have the words after six days. Epth phrases are ap- proximate expressions, meaning about a week. The time from whIch the evangelists are 'reckoning is the time of the retirement' of Jesus into the vicinity of Ceesarea Philippi, mentioned in the last lesson. . Peter, and Aline and Jarite,s—Repre- seittative men and leaders of the apos- tolic group. Together they forth a sort of inner circle or sub -committee of the apostles. 29. Was altered—Matthew and Mark use the term "transfigured." Luke's word gives us more nearly the literal meaning. 30. Who were Moses and Elijah— Apparently the three disciples recog- nized the two heavenly visitors. It is not, however, necessary to assume that they did from the wording of the. narra- tive, since it is quite possible that. the identity. of the men was revealed to the disciples by Jesus. . 31. Appeared in glory—Similar to that which Jesus assimied. Decease --Lit. departure; i.e., his death and departure from this world. Which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem — The conversation between Testes. and Moses and Elijah was thus about his impending suffering and death; and doubtless concerning the significance of that suffering and death to hiniself and to the world. .32. Were heavy with sleep --Jesus had been praying, possibly by himself, a little apart from the disciples, as later he did in pethsemane. During this Hine the waiting disciples had. become drowsy, even as on that other yet more solemn occeeion in the garden. When they were fully .awake—Ap- parently they were aroused from their sleepiness by the vision of the trans- figured Christ before th.em. Saw his glory ---1t is to this event, in part, no doubt, that John refers in the first, chapter of his gospel in the worde "And we beheld this glory, glory as of the only begottenarom the Father (John 1. 14)." • 33. Its they were parting from him -- Their intention. to depart became' evit dent to the dinciples, avhereupon Peter tinterposed with his sliggestion to build three tabernacles or booths. 34. They feared as they entered into the' cloud—An explanatory remark given by Luke only. 35. My Son, My chosen—Or, as many anefent authorities read, My beloved ihnen (Comp. Matt, 17, 5; Mark 9. in. 36. Came --Or, \was past.

Special interest attaches to the Dun- more because hers is one of the com- paratively rare insta.nces where a metal derelict bas remained above water any length of time after Itting, abandoned, and because, moreover, she lies in the liner track and is thereby a more serious danger to transatlantic shiping than any other tenantless shell of mod- ern times.

Her crew were taken off and she was left adrift, remaining above water for three montlie; beiag. sighted by more • than twenty passing steamers thus far. ' The. complaints of owners of • other Ships spurred the British. admiralty to action and 'they ordered cruisers efrom Bermuda to proceed in quest of her, while the underwriters had the Adven- ture sent out from this port on a eimi- lar quest, to tow her to port. The Ad- venture failed to locate her, not possess- ing wireless telegraphy, and, therefore, being unable to learn- where the wreck was last seen, and the two cruisers scoured the ocean for 'a long, while, in the endeavor to bring her aimless voy- age to an end. The most common . derelicts are Inm- ber-carrying vessels of wooden build and moderate size which "meet bad weather, become dismantled; and hay- ing no steam power are .helpless waifs in the Atlantic fairway, sometimes drifting about for months,, if not for years, because their buoyant cargoes will not let them sink. • • One of these, i[he Mma Cummings, .tin American schooner from, Boston, made a record voyage of 54 days, during which she covered 5,000 miles, and, was sighted over 50 times. She was caught in. a blizzard off Cape May in Febru- ary, 1896, arid her masts and rigging Were carried overboard, the jagged stumps of the spars battering her sides apart. The, seas swept everything overboard, "flooded her hell and cabin, dreeched her food stuffs with brine and termed a coating over the. deck three fet thick. The wretched crew, tho matches being all soaked, could not make a fire to wafer' -themselves until they fired a rifle into a can of kerosene or that set the hull on fire, and the blaze attracted the steamer Queens - more, which rescued the crew, the idea being that she would burn so that the seas would . • m EASILY TEAR HER APART. But the wOod of the cargo was too - wet,, the fire failed and she started on her long voyage around the Atlantic. At various times she Was seen; till she nearly reached England; then she drove south past the French coast; rext she was sighted off the Azores; lat- h' she appeared -near ,the equator and, finally, after eighteen months she dila- ed ashore at San Blas Island, near C:olonin' Panama Isthmus.. During her amazing cruise at least six ships tried to set lire to her, but without • avail and though she was ce-iburned to the eater's edge, she remained afloat. A derelict' lumber carrier with an al. most ovally curious record was the Fannie Wolston, which -was afloat for 1.107 days and covered more than 9,000 miles but her voyage whichtwas apparent- ly rrinchlonger than that of the Cum.ndng, was really not so, because she spent much of her tithe crossing and recrossing her own tracks, moving Around in circles about 200 miles, off the Atlantic coast, being sighted by noefew- er than :46 ships during, her aimless anderiags. tat iler 'lenge wen knit the Delaware c4ies south to the lonely Sargossa Sea, her swinging round this circle occupy- ing about hero Years.

'Then on the 2nOth day, March 22, 1897, she was breught up in New York, having been toeved in by the oil tank steamer Kasbelt, which came upon her .800 miles east of Sandy ffook, the steamer being outward bound from Phil- adelphia.

The hawser was worked clear of the propel- ler and then the steamer 'started off in quest eaf .the Oakes, sighting her again some hours later in a worse storm, what lasted for .two days, during which time it was impossible to send a boat to her, but the steamer lay by her till the weenier abated and then took the effective steps to succor the crew and get the craft under control.

In -the China Sea two typhoons drove We ship out of her course, and, thouth intending to round the Cane of Gilt Hope, she had to make. for Cape Horn. Another remarkable oese Was that of the steamerPerthshire, off the Austral- ian comet in 1899, which:. drifted about for 45 • days helplessly, covering 1,400 miles before 'being reecuede On April 26t1 she left Sydney for 131uff Head a four-day voyage.

As she had neatly 70 persons aboard and was drifting north toward some evil reefs, everynanailable craft was sent in quest of her, including two war- ships, several liners and a flotilla • of tugs. .eventually, the steamer Tolune came upon her before daylight on June 13th, some 750 miles off her course, the Perthshire being described just an hour before the Tolune's captain had deter mined to abandon the search. A. tow line was passed and for 30 hours the Tolune got her along. Then a heavy sea tore them apart and to get them coupled again rockets, with lines *at- tached, had to be fired from one ship to the other. - Another almost incredible story of a derelict is that of the woden bark Sid - derelict is that of the wooden bark Sid- ary 16, 1899, lumber laden, for Liver pool, and becerne dismasted in a gale, a heavy sea then drenching her from stem to stern, destroying all the pro- visions • and carrying away the galley. For twenty days her crew of twelve subsisted ON RAW POTATOES. The captain had his forehead laid open and one eye blinded by a blow from a stanchion; the boatswain had an arm broken, the chief mate and two sea- men were stricken with serious illness due to their weakened condition, ' and as day succeeded. day, without prospect of rescue despair settled upon all.
