Text. Thun did God render tho wick
edneno of Ablmoleck and all the cvlt of
men of Encliem did God render upon their
head. Judges 9:GS. 69,
Our text roads, "ThUB did God ren
der the wickedness ot Ablmolock nnd
all tho ovll or tho men ot Shochcm did
Qod rondcr upon tholr hcodB."
"Tho mllla of tho gods grind alow
hut thoy crlnd exceedingly amall,"
Hlntory keeps on ropcatlntr this truth
Hack of all tho myotcry of human
dcedo 1b tho ruling of n mighty hand.
Ablmoleck learned this to his sorrow
Ho had gained his throno by inurdor
and ruled with hands dyed In blood.
But evil hunts for tho wicked to over
throw him. Ono of his own number
.conspired for his ruin and tho story
of his fall by a stono hurled from a
woman's hand 1b graphically told In
thin chapter. Qur text merely glvos
tho reason why: "God will bo God for
all that," Is hero sounded forth In
wordB that can not die.
Lot tin learn first that God rules
over all and no wrong shall ovor go
unpunished. All doallnga with men
havo nlso tholr deal with God. Thoro
arc throo parties to every transaction,
God.'mysolf and my brothor man and
nono can bo loft out. In wronging my
brotllor I wrong God and the wrong
shall not go unrequited. History re
ports thin story over and over. "Do
suro your sin will find you out."
Ablmolock was no oxcoptlon. Tho
blood of hts seventy brethren was cry
ing out for vengeance HIa fall was
Inevitable. This truth necd3 added
emphasis today. Many aro amassing
wealth by means foul or fair, regard
less of law clthor that of man or God.
Hut thoro shrill surely como a day ot
reckoning, not only from mon, but God
Himself shnll set right every wrong.
Vengeanco may bo slow, but It Is nev
ertheless suro.
Tho crlmo of murder Is fast on
the Increase. Statistics show that a
largo per cent ot tho guilty go frco.
But thero Is yot a storner Judge from
whoso law no guilty ono shall ob
capo. Then again our text shows how mon
reap what thoy sow. Ablmoleck had
gained his throno by murdering all
who stood In his way and now ho falls
by a murdorer'a hnnd. "He that sows
to tho wind shall reap tho whirlwind."
A life of sin must end In a Hfo of
shame. A man's conduct always cotnos
back to him. Jacob decolvcd his fath
er and in his old ago ho reaps tho sor
row of deceit and falsehood at tho
hands of lis eleven sons. Tho man
who swindles to mako his fortune will
most surely reap loss and ruin at tho
swindler's hand.
Noto also that God carries on His
purpoBO despite the sin ot thoso en
trusted with povor. God will still bo
God after all, nnd Ho is the last one
with whom we must reckon. Wo shall
not be able to foil His purposo nor
thwart His plan. Our resistance shall
only bocomo our ruin. Ablmolech
found It so. Might could not ranko
right and error shall not stand. That
man or nation that persists In wrong
doing God shall sot aside nnd It Bhnll
fnll. Wo cnll ours" n groat nation and
It is, but wo have some grlovous sins
laid to our charge. Our clylllzatlon Is
fast leaving God out and has Httlo' ro
gard for His eternal law. Wo often
weigh with a false weight and sell
with a false measuro. Right Is often
changed to suit tho occasion whllo
men In high places set up false stand
ards. Lot us bo sure that all this graft
and greed and wrong shall becomo our
undoing for wo nre dealing with God
as woll aa with man. If wo continue
to resist nnd break His law Ho shall
causo tho destroyer to rlso up In our
midst, and though wo fall His pur
poso shall go evenly on.
Then, again. I think this text clear
ly teaches that God will most surely
caro for Ills own. Thoso who trust
Him slall never-bo forsaken. In tho
end our causo shall triumph bocauso
It Is God's causo. Not so much It Is
becauso God Is on our side, but rather
becnuso wo aro on the side that God
upholds and makes to triumph. Ho
will caro for us though all clso shall
fall. Though, llko Elijah, wo seem all
alone, God's tender care shall' bo our
constant stay. While we trust and
obey Him tho cruso of oil Bhall not
fall nor shall tho brend bo exhausted.
Ho shall ever keep us In tho hollow of
His hand.
jvy " Church Attendance.
Tho best preparation fOV Hfo any
voung man enn have who, from col
lege or high school, or otherwise, en
tors tho wider arena of tho world's
life Is a church-going habit. Such a
habit Is a steadying forco In tho young
man's Hfo, nnd brings him periodically
Into contact with tho uplifting forces
and sweeter Influences, dlsBomlnntod
through tho church, which go to mako
oxlstonco intellectually lntelllglblo and
morally worth whllo. Fow young mon
will go uttorly to tho bad who keop up
tho church-going habit. Congregation

Let ub not bo satisfied with tho pet

Let us not spend our tlmo dreaming of

A gray suodo bag shaped llko a

plain in design, which does not inter

BLUE AND BROWN ARE SMART
These Are the Year's Popular Colors,
the Latter Especially In Its
Darker Shades. '
Certain colors never go out ot fash
ion and others aro doomed to a short
Hfo by tho very quality that makes
them popular. Navy bluo Is ono ot tho
colors whoso popularity never scorns
to Uuctuato from season to season,
probably becauso It Is so universally
becoming. Tho browns nro moro vari
able, but this year thoy aro consid
ered extromoly smnrt, especially in
tholr darker shades Kafflr, nutmeg,
seal and walnut.
In fact, all tho new colors aro per
ceptibly darker., Black 1b tho smart
est color ot tho season, but Its effect
Is far from being sober or somber,
becauso It Is always relieved by white
or by somo vivid color. It has had Its
effect on other colors; tho Bmnrt blues
nro almost black, tho now greens are
tho deep shades of toa-loaf and win
torgreon; nnd prune Is tho most popu
lar shado of purplo. Black used to bo
kept almost entirely for oldor womon,
but dressmakers aro beginning to ap
preciate tho fact that it is not becom
ing unless a woman has youth, health
and a good color. Even then It has to
bo broken with bluo, green, gold, otc,
to give it tho life it needs. Delin

Diet has much to do with tho condi

It food Is not suited to the Individ

try to throw it off by an exudation of
oil through tho pores. It is this
which causes oily complexion, and tho
first step, of couroo, Is to clinngo tho

Such foods should bo adoptod as
aro nutritious, easily dlgostcd, and

Tho list Includos milk, eggs, flan,
raro meats, rich spinach, beans nnd

Thick soupu, pastries and elaborato
dosserts should bo banished, and
plenty of fruit oaten.
Fresh air and careful washing of
tho face are, of courso, noccssary ac
companiments ot tho treatment.
Carry Few Toilet Artlclea.
Women frequently enrry many moro
toilet accessories than are needed. It
Is perfectly fair to assumo that the
hostess will have a dressing table
equipped, or that he will possess
dribugh pieces for the wants of her
"guests. Every woman wishes to carry
her own brush and comb, but a hand
mirror Is heavy, and it la expected
that one will be provided.
Irish Legislator Evtn Withdrew the
Wordo That Ho Was About

Thero la In congress a western rep

On ono occnslon ho roso to de

"Order, order!" exclaimed tho

It wan n critical moment. Ills col
leagues, for motives of policy, did not
wish him to bo put out of tho debate,
so thoy hinted so by tugging vigor
ously at his coat talis.
Now, it's a very dangerous matter
to trifle with tho tails of an Irishman's
coat, save in tho causo of friendship.
Nevertheless, tho Indignant yet good

mand of his party, and sat down after
