Uiolr employes to attend It during
what would otberwlBo bo working
hours, not only paying their salaries
tor tho wholo time, but also paying
(heir carfare to and from tho school
This Is llko tho work which Is being
dono In technical schools In parts of
Germany, whero boys and girls havo
a certain number of hours a week
frco from work nnd recclvo Instruci
lion In tho work at which they aro
employed. Employers In Germany,
whero tho system haa been establish
ed for somo tlmo, cooncrnto Just as
gladly as Chicago employers aro said
to bo co-operating In tho present ex
periment. They nro reported as find
ing It to their ndvantago to do so. It
Is easy to boo why a good many, es
pecially of tho larger employers of la
bor, should find It to their ndvantago
hero as well ns there Tako tho caso
of salesmanship, which Is being
taught In Chicago. Somo largo stores

Making a Holy Man
or Salvation from
the Subjective Side
By Rev. James M. Gray, D. D.,
Dcin of Mood Diblc IruCtute, Oiato
TEXT- Tor thoy that nro after the flesh
tlo mind the thing" of tho flenh, hut they
thnt aro after tho Spirit tho tlilnga of tho
Spirit. Romans 8:5.
Thero nro several things which God
docs for tho Christian believer In an
objectivo sense,
that Is, In tho
Hcnso that they
proceed from him
self without bo
1 n g necessarily
known to or expe
rienced In tho be
liever's life. In
other words, he
reconciles him, ho
saveB him, ho Jus
tifies him, ho
blesses him with
all Bplrltual bless
ings in Christ
Jesus. Those
things nil speak
of tho bcllover'fl
state or position before God, nnd con
Btituto what might bo called his legal
standing.
In this sermon, however, wo aro to
think about what God graciously docs
to transmute this legal standing of
tho believer before him into tho nctuul
cxpcrlenco and conduct of tho believ
er himself. This Is what wo mean by
"salvation from tho subjective side."
If tho other things touch on Christ's
work "for" us, these relate to Christ's
work "In" us, on tho supposition that
wo havo received him as our Savior,
nnd confessed him ns our Lord.
In other words, he, through the Holy
Spirit, does several things which go
to mnko tho true believer a holy man,
nnd which are enumerated In this
eighth chapter of Paul's letter to tho
Romans; for although our text is lim
ited to but ono verse, wo intend to
speak of more than one.
In tho first place, tho Holy Spirit
sets tho believer freo from tho law
of sin and death, verses 2 to -1.
Prior to IiIb regeneration through
faith In Christ, tho believer was un
der the power of a tendency or law
In tho direction of sin, the outcome
of which, wns death, eternal death;
but tlil incoming of tht Holy Spirit to
him means that a now tendency or law
has been set up within him whose di
rection Is just tho opposite to this.
In tho second place, tho Holy Spirit
gives him tho spiritual "mind" or dis
position to obey and follow out this
tendency Jn tho direction of holiness
and eternal life verses C-10.
In tho third place, ho not only gives
him tho Bplrltunl mind, but goes far
ther nnd gives tno spiritual power to
exorclso that mind, verses 11-13, so
thnt tho Christian liaB no cxcubo for
committing sin.
A Life of Victory.
Tho Now Tcstnment does not teach
a doctrlno of slnlcBS perfection, or tha
orndlcntlon of evil from our hearts,
ns long ns wo remain In tho flesh, but
It does teach that thero 1b such a
thing as living n llfo of victory over
every known sin every dny. Chris
tians hnvo no juustiflcntlon for apol
ogizing for quick tempers and irrltnblo
speeches ami envy and Jealousy not
to spenk of grosser sins of the llesh
on tho ground that such things nro
part of their temperament nnd can't
1)0 holnod. It. In tVl!f flmt llmv rnn't
help them so fnr as their old naturo '
Is concerned, but tho very purposo of
tho Indwelling of tho Holy Spirit Is
to cnnblo thorn to live n supernatural
llfo or power over them if they yield
their wIUb to him.
In tho fourth place, tho Holy Spirit
gives thbollevor spiritual encourage
ment to exorclso this power, for ho
bears witness within him to his Son
ship to God and heirship ns well
through Josus Christ verses 14-17.
What stronger motive could thero bo
to stir a. man to put away sin nnd
Hvo n holy llfo comparable to tho
appiehonalon of the fnct that ho la
Indeed a child or God and a joint holr
with Jesus Christ? People of tho
world nro inclined to smilo at these
things and consider thorn otherenl and
visionary, becauso they cannot under-
Btnml them, lacking tho spiritual dls
'.comment, but these nre, after all, tho
real things, tho substanco of life, while
tho phenomena thnt occupy so much
of man's nttentlon now nro only tho
shndow of tho truo.
Change In President Arthur's Life.
I remember tho great change thnt
camo about In tho character nnd In
tho outward llfo or President CheBtcr
A. Arthur. As n Now York politician
nnd collector of tho port, ho had been
ono or tho "boys," tho higher and liner
class or "boys," and yet ono or them.
Hut when a. strange providence placed
hfan In tho presidential olllco nftor
tho murder of President Gnrtlold, what
a change camo ovor him! What a
steady, sedate, wlso, successful, honor
nblo nnd puro chief magistrate ho
made! All speak well of his memory.
Tho dignity, tho exultation, tho priv
ileges which had come to him contrlb
uted to mnko him. over. It is much
tho samo with tho Christian who
knowB who ho 1b nnd what ho hns in
Christ.
Filially, tho Holy Spirit gives tho be
liever spiritual access unto God In
prayer vorses 20-28. This is tho
crowulng act of grnoo and power.
You know what a man is when you
know what ho loves.

CLING TO BLACKS AND WHITES

Show Little Falling Off In
Favor.
In spite of tho rage for color which
threatened our peace of eyo so seri

RATHER STUPID PARIS FANCY
Zebra Rip Could Only Attract the
Gazo Because of the Extreme
Ugliness.
Very odd, Indeed, aro Bomo of tho
new tailor-mades, writes a Paris cor
respondent. In fact, a few of them ir
resistibly suggest that the wearer, de
spairing of finding any new ways of
being beautiful, is as a last resource
falling back on ways of being ugly.
How otherwise could ono account
for a coat liko an Early Victorian dress
ing jacket, than which nothing moro
shapeless has yet been discovered In
tho history of costume, made of stone
colored cloth, nnd suddenly bursting
into an orgy of black nnd stone-colored
zebra strlpings, just on a level with
tho cuffs, which aro of tho samo ar
rangement? Tho skirt, up to tho bottom edge of
tho coat, has also tho horizontal strlp
ings, so that the general effect is of
a biego jacket standing up in a black
and biego basket.

and through theso tie tho ribbons.

Picturesque Tunic Frocks.
Despite tho success of taffetas

will bo adopted by the district au
thorities a system of finger print
Identification of nil infants born in
public institutions. Such a system is
now in use in New York, and other
cities aro contemplating its adoption.
The results have proved encouraging.
The system has tho indorsement of
Dr. William C. Woodward, district
health officer, and George S. Wilson,
secretary of the board of charities.
Tho only thing which stands in tho
path of the adoption of the finger print
identification system in tho national
capital Is tho small number of cases
of abandoned children. It is hardly be
lieved that tho number would justify
tho introduction of tho Bcherao, which,
would entail the expenditure of a rath
er largo amount of money.
"The plan is an excellent one," said
Dr. Woodward. "It has been given an
extensive trial in New, York city. Re

of that timo less than half of them
