LESSON IAN. 8, 1911,
Is the snore elat.orate style of dowel
gaining in favor? is a„question often
asked this season, and, strange! to,;,say.
there has been aeyet tui definite attthosi
tative statement i:t reply gMen to the
general palette. ',.'here ate eertain1;• may
different styles of dress included in the
winter trossseeau, but -each and .ever;
one is for a different occasion. The eine
mpler street gown, for the morning walk
or shopping. ib a srntielly practical; for
afternoon the -more elaborate, though
no less costly, velveteen corduroy or vet -
vet costume is correct,. and this can be
simple or elaborate; but this is .a cos -
time with enat to snatch, made short,
and if there be a waist like the skirt it
is made to loos like a. sepaeate wake.,
not as though it were all in one piece.
For luncheon and bridge and the after-
noon eeceptioa there is again quite n
different model- a gown complete in
itself, too light in color and texture to
be worn in the street excepting under
an all 'erveioping coat or cloak; hut then
these sante long eloal:s are extremely
smart this reason. There is much that
is practical in this fashion. The present
craze for overheating houses makes a
gown that is at alt heavy or warns
most uncomfotb
•ta �te to wear indoors,
and the light transparent fabrics are
faseinating in their contrkst to the
heavy fur or velvet wraps and outer -
garments. Tide is a winter when velvet
is most popular. Satin, the new fabric
with the heavy wool back, is also in
great demand, but both these materiels
•are better suited to the coat costume
than to the gown. Combining either with
the thin, sheer fabrics is most suecess-
ful. One attractive model )las the tipper
part of the skirt and the lower part of
file waist of fine marquisette or chiffon.
The lower part of the .skirt is ftniehed
with a deep shirred flounce of velvet,
that again is finished . with a narrow
fringe. The entire gown is lined with
cloth of silver, which shows. through the
mesh. It is not the plain but the figur-
ed cloth of silver, which -le far newer,
Attractive Belts.
Much attention this season is paid
to the belt of the waist—just where it
shall be placed, whether it shall be nar-
row or wide and whether there shall be
a bow with sash ends or merely the bow
at the back. The Empire .style is not
new, and every effort apparently is be-
ing made to put the wisest line in its
normal position; but there are many -ex-
tremely smart gowns with the decidedly
high waisted effect, and,the belt on the
majority of the gowns ,is .so fashioned
or trimmed that it is - quite high. A
narrow band of black velvet or satin is
o favorite trimming alefrve the belt,
while just in front a kept of the same
black is thrust through'the fancy buckle
that is such a marked feature in the
newest fashions. ,
Bows and sashes and fiery •smart, and
fat must be conceded tiutt the long ends
break the two severe lilies that the pre-
sent fashion gives at the back. It is re-
markable tow much :more becoming a
gown is made with the addition of a
bot- and ends. Of course, care must be
. taken that the bow is becomingly plated.

ion is noticeably distinctive and original
then it is most foolish to attempt to
change the style. Better have he gown
cleaned. and freshened and tben wear it
as it 19.
A winter gown is often much more
practical to remodel than a summer one,
for all summer clothes have a certain in-
dividuality, and the fashions do not vary
so nmehs as in the darker colors and
fcibtirs that are relegated to the winter
seem:. This year the .combining of ma-
terials make life much simpler for any
woman who has to struggle with the
elothes question with only the aid of a
seamserett, Velvet combined with sat-
in will often transform an old gown that
has seemed too shabby to be worn an-
other winter; the new trimmings also --
ands .so much ttimming is used now—
have a good effect and the introduction
of a bit of contrast makes the gown
look quite unlike its former self.
.An embroidered chiffon or snessaline
de sole overblouse will not only make an
old waist look like new, but if trimmed
with a different color will make the
greatest difference in a gown that bas
been thought to have seen its best days.
The satin or velvet belt or "girdle, Josh-
ed with fancy buckle, is also a marvel-
lous restorer to a gown.that in the Em-
pire or princess style had begun to look
old fashioned. It not necessary to

To one who knows the rudiments of
dressmaking or has some reliable pat-
terns the =making of a sleeve is very
simple. There will probably bo enough
material left from the skirt of the
chemise to form the up -to -Elate small
sleeves, and if not it is an easy and in-
expensive matter to match it. A lace
cuff and a row or two of lace inserted'
in the lower or upper part of the sleeve
make an attractive finish,

Jeroboam Makes Idols For Israel to
Worship. --1 Flings 12. 25.33.
Commentary, 1. Jeroboam's r,trength-
eniug the kingdom vs. 25-27). '3. Built
Sheehent, Jeroboam selected Shechem
as the capital of his kindont, .ale erected
buildiuga necessary for that purpose
and fortified the city. The location
was favorable, being central, and the
place had many historic events cluster-
ing
lustering about it, Abraham pitched his tent
there upon entering Canaan for the
Met. time. There demob bought a por-
tion of land. which he gave to Joseph.
Shechem Alla situated between (lore•
:rite and Ebel from whieh blessings and
curses, respeetively, were pronounced
upon Israel. It ',las one of the six cit-
ies of refuge. There Joshua gathered
the people shortly before his death and
delivered to them his parting. words.
At Shechem all Israel assembled to re•
ceivo Behcheam as king, but upon hire
failure to yield to reasonable demands
ten tribes went over to Jeroboam. A few
years later the king removed his capital
to Thant, a place a little north of
9echenr, 'fount l.phrahu, In the hill -
country, or upon the mountainous ridge
which extends for fifty miles north and
soetli through the central part of Pales-
tine. Jeroboam belonged to the tribe
of Ephraim, Went out from thence.
With Shechem as a fortified centre bo
built other fortifications at important
points to keep out his enemies. Built
Penuel. This is the Penuel of Genesis
32:24-32 and means "face of God” It
was hero that Jacob wrestled all night
with the angel of God, and gained the
victory, his name being changed from
Jacob to Israel. Penuel was situated
on the river Jabbok, about twenty
miles east of where it flows into the
,Jordan, It was fortified to proteet the
kingdom from Assyrian invasion, since
Peuuel was on the great caravan road
to the East.
26. Jeroboam said in his heart. He
said one thing in his heart and quitet
another to his people, It is no uncom-
mon thing for ono to say in his heart
what he would not for the world say
to others. Wo are judged by men large-
ly by what we say with our lips, but
God judges us by what we say in our
hearts. Kingdom return. The king
realized that the people who had so eag-
erly pledged allegiance to him were
liable to forsake him and return to the
kinglom from whicli they had revolted;
should some provocation arise. He knew
the temper of his people, and as a sag-
acious ruler ho foresaw what might oc-
eur. 27. If this people...sacrifice...at;
Jesusalem. Jeroboam recognized the
fact that the tribes that had seeeded
wind come over to sins had not in so do-
ing forsake the God and the religion of
their fathom, They would continue to
Worship the (rod of Israel, and Jerusa-
lem was the true centre of that woreldp.
IIe was wise enough not to attempt to,
establish at once a new religion, al•
tough he knew that the repeated visits
of his people to Jerusalem for worship
es the law required (Dent. 16:16) would
bo likely to win them back -to the par-
ent kingdom. The religion instinct in
man is deeteseated and is easily able
to overcome even national and patrio-
,tic considerations. Their lord...Ileho-
boam. This was a confession that Re-
hoboam was their lawful sovereign. Jer-
oboam felt that his hold upon the peo-
ple was, at best, insecure. Shall kill
me. Jeroboam was influenced in his
course by fear for his personal safety
at well as by his ambition. Tx; compar-
ing the motives which actuated- the
two kings but little difference is found.

F•'a.=1 in the eighth month -The king
wished to provide a feast for his people
to ere respond with the feast of Webek-
naelea, but in :order to make it unlike
that feast he appointed it in the eighth
month instead of the seventh. He offer-
ed upon the altar* -•Either personally or
through the priests of his own appoint-

3J. Devised of hie own heart --- The
king left God out of hie counsels, Ile
":arid in his heart" (v. 26), and "devised
of his own heart" an order of worship
which was far from pleasing to the
Lord,
W. Warned by a prophet (vs. 1-6.)
Goa did not leave Jeroboam wholly to
ltiniself,;.for while the king was offering
a sacrifee upon the altar the prophet of
the Lord foretold the saerifico of priests
upon that altar, and gave such unmie-
takable signs to sulestantlato hie author-
ity, as a prophet that at would have
been mero presumption to attempt to
pass it off lightly. The outlook for the
system of religion that the king had "de-
vised of his own heart" was for from
euceuraging, yet be persevered in bis
course and won the title often repeated
in the sacred history, "Jeraboam the
sou of a ebat, who made Israel to sin."
Questions. What cities did Jeroboam
build, and why? W1eat did the king say
in his heart? 'What is meant by the
house of David? At what places did
Jeroboam establish plaecs of worship?
What reason did he give for setting up
the golden valves in those.plaees,? What
was the real reason for appointing those
two places of worship? Whom did he
make priests? What feast did he ap-
point and how did it differ from the
feast in Judah? What commandments
did Jeroboam violate? What warning
was sent to him?
PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS,
"Jeroboam was in his heart" (v. 26.)
IIe thought and planned before he exe-
cuted. Out of the heart proceed evil
thoughts (Matt. 13: le.) Out of the
abundance of the heart the mouth
speaketh (Matt. 12: 34,). The devil put
it into the heart of Judas to betray Je-
sus (John 13; 2,) God has condemned
every human heart as being "deceitful
above all things and desperately wink
ed" (Jer. 17: 9).
"If th:r people go up... then shall the
heart of this people turn again" (v. 27),
The promise bad been given to Jere -
beam: "I will take thee and thou shalt
reign according to all that thy soul de-
siretli. and shalt be king over Israel, apo
it shall be, if thou wilt walk in my ways
I will bo_with thee and build thee a sure
house, as I built for David, and I will
give Israel unto thee" 'f f. Kings x.
37, 38). Jeroleoam doubted and devised
mane for his: own safety. Faith would
have said, "god has promised, I ate
safer to Inoul the apparent danger of
losing my throne, by going In the plain
path of duty than to seek to keep it by
the use of unlawful means," Doubt of
God's all -sufficiency is the beginning of
all our sinful planning. We want a cer-
tain position. We can obtain it bya
little tricky manoeuvring. We desire
success in a business transaotion and
prevarication seems the sure road to it.
Doubt that God. can give us these with-
out our interference Is the first tempta-
tion. Just here Jacob fell. He was
promised- the birthright, Instead of
waiting for God to bestow the gifb, Ito
vi;taiued it by deoelt and fraud,
"Tire lying took counsel" (v. 28). Jerb=
