LATE SMARTNESS
IN PARIS FROCKS.
The dominant note of the coming sett.
son in Paris will be elegant simplicity,
reached by the medium of most vete
ous materials. I have seen the colleo
tions of Worth, Beer, neanne Hance,
Dreeoll, Zimmennann and Weeks. Each
has a certain individuality, yet all tend
toward the same lines. Worth is state,
ly in all he designs, and one knows that
the influence of Royal circles is always
upon him.
Liberty, brocade, velvet and handsome
embroideries are his favorite mediums,
Beer is ft, devotee of color; exquisite,
elusive, faseihating and utterly beautifal
are the materials with which he works
Whistler of Dress.
Jeanne Halle is very daring and at the
same time very discreet; and if I were
not afraid of Whistler's ghost, I should
call her the Whistler of the art of dress,

of models ranging from simple tailor

A good model which I saw this week
at the last-named house is worth men-
tioning, as it expresses the best. It was
of a dinner gown in fuchsiht tones, red

Another was in black velvet and \Oita

velvet were About an inch wide, and
were set far enough apart to show
plenty of white. The lines of this gown
were ()elite perfect, and the rich effect
of the lace was very striking.
FASHION NOTES FROM PARIS
SHOPS.
Raccoon was never so fashionable am-
ong furs.
Short haired furs will be freely used
for trimming hats..
Brocades and fine velvets are the lead-
ers among silks.
Satin, in black and navy blue, is worn
more than ever.
The peasant style remains the zest
fashionable for separate blouses.
Many of the blouses for wear with the
early fall suits are of striped linen.
Many misses will wear military tur-
bans of the hussar typo. They are brim-
less, of januty style and have looped
braid and cord. ornaments.
Most fashionable new shoes are high
cut, and heels are higher than ever.
Bracelets, in plain and chased geld,
will be much worn, but few will be jew-
eled.

POCKETS.
Many clever ideas are also manifested
n the arrangement of pockets, easily to
e found and of real practical service.
ockets in the sleeves are very useful
or the small handkerchief or a tiny
urse, and the slit side, with its hidden
oeket is another contrivance that is
1 service.

PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS,
The great confession. "Thou art the
Christ, the Son of the living God" (Matt
10. 10). In these days of caviling and
quibbling %bout the nature of
Christ' it is refreshing to read
the -clear and powerful utterance
of Peter upon that subject. The prog-
ress of Bible salvation in the world and
in the individual heart is always ao.
companied by.a positive faith in the di-
vinity ymarc moaafkne,C3 I ialciollivtre.i fivIte,r iitse:sxecieol'iluvenenadtlactiiiroeent,img religion
be called. This declaration of Peter's
teas a hearty expression of his faith, as
was Thomas', "My Lord and my God"
(John 20. 28), when he was convinced
that he was in the presence of his Aeon
Lord. He who in the fullest sense eon.
fesses. that Jesus is the Christ is not far
front the kingdom, if he is not already
in it. The iinportance of riaht doctrine
respecting the divinity of Christ can
scarcely be too strongly emphasized.
The great lack, "One thing thou lacks,
est" (Mane 10, 211, There is some ono
sinful or worldly object or practiee that
has a stronger hold upon the individual
than any other. With one it may be the
love of wealth, with smother some form
of sensuality and with enother pride of
person, apparel, acquirements or peel -
tion. The "one thine" to which the heart
persistently clings ebffectually blocks the
entrance to eternal life. As Jesus show-
ed the rich young ruler the plague of
his heart, so the Holy Spirit shows to
us the conditions we must meet in or-
der to be saved.
The greatness of service. "Not to be
ministered unto, but to minister" (Matt.,
20:e8). Jesus declared the commonly
accepted idea of greatness tOtbe wrong.
Ile declared it not only in words, but
also in deeds, for his life was one of
service for others, dames and John
with their mother, were shown by the
Master how insignificantly small were
their little selves whom they had con-
sidered so very important. What we do
for ourselves counts but little, but what
we do for others Is made a blessing both
to us and them. There is true blessed-
ness in learning the lesson of servlee
for others and practising itt.
Great blessings despised. "They made
light of it" (Matt. 22:5). We look upon
ingratitude as something base. Great
preparations have been made for man's
spiritual needs at infinite cost, yet the
provisions are by most people lightly es-
teemed. A thousand things appeal to
the mural hearts as being more import-
ant than the Beene interests. Property,
business and social affairs claim the at-
tention to the exclusion of spiritual
good. Satan has blinded men's eyes to
the highest good. The gospel feast is
spread. It is inviting. Will you despise
it?
A great test. "The ,things winch are
Caesar's...the things that are God's
(Matt. 22:21). We are face to face with
obligations of -various sorts. We live
iu society and under government, and
to both we owe duties. We owe to
society those tights and benefits which
we expect from society. We owe to
the government which protetts us re-
spect, support and. defenee. We owe to
God all the love and service of which tve
are capable. We owe to him submission,
obedience, faith, worship. We are bless-
ed in recognizing and fulfilling these ob-
ligations.
Great reward. "Well doue enter
thou" (Matt. 25:21, 23). 1. Approval.
nTothing can take the 'place of the divine
approval, not even life itself "In his
favor is life" (Psa. 30:5; 63:3). 2. Joy.
"The joy of thy Lord" (Matt. 25:21).
Here is participation in the joy that he
gives, as well as the joy that flows from
bis presence.

Or, Carman Opposed to Prof, Bowles -
on a Commission.
Looked Like "Modernism" and the
Reverend Superintendent Objected.
Toronto, Oct. 17. ---In the expraesive
terminology of a western delegate,
the General BUM of Ilifill8/0118 off/ the
Methodist Church on naturday `struck
a snag," which caused a flutter among
the members and suggested that the
rough paths of recent theological 0011-
troversy had not yet been made
smooth.
Everything was gatng along smooth-
ly Wben Mr, W. Larrthly rose to.
resent the report .of the Foreign De -
pertinent Committee concerning var-
tons mattera winch hied been con-
Sidered on Friday afternoon.
"The committee recommend the fol-
lowing 48 MeniberS of tale West China
Education Commission," no en-
nounced, and then came the names-.
Mr. N. W. Royell„ KC., Mr. C. D.
Massey, Mr. J. W. Flavelle„ Rev. Dr,
J. A. Rankin and rofeesor R. P.
Bowles, 'Tarried," eXclairned several
members in unison.
"Board of GOvernOr$ of the West
China Union University," proceeded
Mr. Lambly; "the cOrnmittee recom-
mend the appointment of Rev, T, E.
Egerton, Shore, Mr. N. W. Rowell, K.
0,, and Prof. R, P. Bowles"
"Carried," again came from ctome of
the Inembers, nut tide time not with
the earne result.
"Would you kindly read these
names • over again'?" requested the
Chairman, Rev, Dr. Carman, Mr.
Lambly did so, and then the Chair-
man quietly remarked ;"On the West
China Educational Commission, Prof.
Bowles, and on the Board of Gov-
ernors of the West China Universitn,
Prof. Bowles. Why have one man on
both bodies? Why not Prof, Wallace?"
Rev. Mr. Shore, the Secretary: of
the Foreign Department, explained.
that Professor Wallace would, be away
for it year, and that Professor Bowlee
had taken a very deep interest in the
establishment of the Union University
at Chengtu, and in mission affairs
generally in. West China.
OPPOSED TO MODERNIS1VI.
But Dr. Carman was not satisfied.
"Let us be frank," he said. be-
lieve in our theology, and I do not be.
lieve in forweeding anything that may
threaten our safe and solid theology.
f would be perfectly willing to bane
such a representation on this board
as would give the largest liberty. I
would ohallenge any man to raise any
objeetion to my thought of the liberty
of men, but I would not like to see
the board forward that modernism.
Candidly, I do not."
"It will be twenty yeas before any
question of theoltgy will come up for
adjustment in that university," in,
terposed Rev. Mr. Shore. "It is a
university established in the main for
academie or educational work."
"quite so," dryly retorted Dr. Car-
man. "The Mississippi rises in a lit-
tle pond of eyelet, We are at the
fountain head now au this matter, and
the responsibility is with the board.
I am perfectly willing to have either
of those brethren (Professors Wallace
and Bowles), but I think the matter
is being forwarded in the direction
I have mentioned."
Rev. Mr. Shore suggested that as
Mr. Rowell, who had advised Profes-
sor Bowles' appointment, was absent,
consideration of the committee's re-
commendation be postponed until
Monday.
"This should be discussed. in the
quietness of committee.," observed
Rev. Dr, Briggs.
On, the recommendation of the For-
eign Committee the board approved
of steps being taken to establish med-
ical training in connection with the
West China Union University, and.
agreed to extend an invitation to the'
Foreign Mission Boards Conference
to meet in Toronto in January, 1910.
It was also decided to support the
invitation to the Continuation Com-,
mittee of the World's lVfissionary Con -
Defence to hold the next World Mis-
sionary Conference in Canada.
The board authorized the Executive
to appoint now missionaries to Japan
not exceeding five in number,. provid-
ing that the income and provision for
mission plant warrant euch apnoint-
ments, and to gran t euperannuation
to certain mato pastors.
