THE NORTH PLATTE SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE. V $ it $3$$$" A New Y earl Evangel X Br RCV. PARLEY C ZARTMANN. D. D. Scrflrjr ol F.ltrntion Drjwttmrnt Moody Bible Imtitule, Cliictto TKXT-Delng confident of this very thing, that ho which linth begun a good work In you will perfect It until tlio day of Jesus Christ. Tho blessed as bu ran co pro claimed In the toxt Is Indeed nn evan gel for tho now year; It open3 a door Into a largo place, In which Christ is every thing to tho soul; and Its appropria tion will mean a hnppy New Year for saint and sin ner. Two recent ex periences have fixed the text In my mind and heart for tho work and need of tho yar. One day I wa3 In the office of a Christian business man and when ho told mo of his up-and-down experiences and his fear of fail ure I gave him this verse and asked him to put it on his desk. Before the day was over I was engaging in per sonal work in an evangelistic meeting and to a man who said ho was afraid to confess Christ for fear ho could not hold out, I said, Take Philipplans 1:0, and count on God holding out. He mndo tho venture on faith, and finds Christ meeting every need w,lth suffi cient grace. How Can I Get Through7 How many Christians aro fearful and doubtful about the continuance and completion of that now life which began In them when thoy took Christ as their Savior. To them tho Christian llfo is not only difficult, it is a dally struggle, and a dally fear of collapse and defeat. They began well, but something has hindered them, or they stand in dread of somo spiritual ca lamity. Service for Christ is irksome. Prayer, has little meaning nnd lesa blessing or power. The Biblo Is neg lected or forgotten. Joy has fled from tho soul, and gladness from tho life. Somo days aro bright and others gloomy. Somo days aro happy, but on others you wonder whether God Is still alive. You begin to question the real ity of your conversion, you wonder how you will over get through, and you despair of winning heaven at last. Remember the assurance of the text. It takes two to live tho Christian life Christ and the believer; and every day you may have all of him you need. Always remember that the Christian life is not a matter of attainment, but obtainment takajlt from Christ This Is a truth that needs to bo magnified. When God moves into tho heart of a man, and a man yields up his life to tho instruction and guidance of God, God will take him through. There may be disappointments days whon every thing goes wrong; there may bo tomp tatlons days when tho dovll presents tho strongest and most alluring ap peals to eye-gate or ear-gato or to other avenues of tho life, seeking to got your consent to somo enticement and to bring you into subjection to the powers of darkness; thero will bo days of sorrow days when friends fail you, when loved ones leave you, when you look Into an open grace and roach out after help; thero will bo days whon you douht when you think your Christian life is a thing of no conse quence to yourself and no contribution to tho cnu'so of Christ or the coming of his kingdom. B"ut and bo sure of this God will see that ho wins In tho end. This Is his will; this is what ho " loves to do; this Is what ho has begun in you; and nothing Is too hard for him he will perfect It. Always ho is working to porfect in us tho very Imago of Jesus Christ. In all our need wo may count upon the persistence, patlenco nnd perfec tion of Christ's work. The All-Svfficlent Savior. Tho text is also an evangel for tho sinner, and he who hesitates to begin the Chrlstiun life may be assured hero and now that "ho which hath begun . . . will perfect." All ho waits for is your faith, your surrender, your obedience; then you will enter upon a now year which by tho grace of tho mighty God of Jacob will go on Into nn eternal life, nnd this llfo is In his Son. Ho enys, "My son, give mo thine heart." Whon you do that he will enter In and take possession of thnt throno and from it rulo every region of the llfo just so far as you yield It to him. Do not hesitate to do it. You will find Christ an all-sufficient Savior As your substitute ho will deal with tho guilt of sin; as your Righteousness he will deal with tho defilement of Bin; and as your Lord ho will deal with the power of sin. Nothing Is too hard for God. Thero Is a threefold card In tho Now Year evangel. 1. Prophecy "Until the day of Christ" when you will bo complete In him. 2. Promise "Ho which hath begun a good work In you will perfect it." God will not rest until his work is done; and when it la done ho will call it good. 3. Persua sion "Being confident of this very thing." May you have tho confidence which says, "I know whon I havo bo lioved, and am persuaded that ho Is able to keep that which I havo com mitted unto htm, against that day." i Dinner Gown in Brnnade and Chiffon. i - ITT.?TVl.jfi.WEl,aK531KP31lJ',.M.WISXit"' lrtftO;r.iT rmf JWjTiBf WT: THREE views of a handsome dinner or reception gown are made pos sible by the clover triplicate minor ar rangement, In front of which it was poeed. Tho straight skirt, with a demi-train, Is mado of cropo having raised velvet roses and foliage scat tered over the surface. Tho rosea are very largo and In a slightly darker shade than tho crepe. Tho chiffon overdross and bodice re peat tho color In tho crepe. The un der bodlco Is of thin silk in a light color. Thero is a beaded girdle, nar row, and edged with ttio narrowest border of fur. This tiny edge of dark fur appears again on a small pleco of drapery mado of tho brocade, which is posed on tho bodice, extending from under tho arms at tho belt to tho be ginning of tho bust. Tho neck of tho bodice Ib slightly pointed at tho back, but Is cut Bquare In front. It is Bhlrred over tho founda tion and la very simple. Tho short, full sleeves aro set in and edged with a narrow band of tho brocade. A but terfly bow of ribbon is posed at tho front finished with silk pendents. Thero ie a frill of boxplaltod mallno nbout tho neck of tho bodico which does not extend across the front. Un der this is a laco edging which lies flat to the neck all round and la very at tractive and becoming. Unllko many overdresseB, which aro wired into tho lampshado effect, this NEAT AND DURABLE SERVING APRON IS NOT HARD TO MAKE SERVING apron must bo mado to stand weekly tubbing at least, and BUbstantlal materials aro tho only kind worth making up. A good and not very sheer India llnon Is used In tho apron which appears in tho illustra tion, and the laco Is a strong cotton weave with squaro mesh and figure. Tho bib and apron aro put in ono piece, with tho shoulder pieces cut long enough to reach to tho belt In tho back. Tho ties aro long enough to make a bow with short endB. After the apron has been cut out tho insertion Ib basted to tho right side. Then tho fabric underneath It Ib split nnd turned back. Over tho raw edgos bias tape la basted and then machine Btitched down. This covers tho raw edges and strengthens tho npron. Tho tape, showing through tho material, and the evon rows of machine Btltch. BaHMK2SKBnFHHUBMKnBj overdress is drawn in at tho bottom with shirring thread. It slopes down to a point at tho middle of tho back and is finished with a narrow band of satin ribbon tied in a slmplo bow at tho front with ends finished with pen dents llko those on the bodlco. Tho undersleovo of tho bodice Is fin ished with a band of lace llko that In tho nock, and it Is put on without full ness. Thero is a crushed turn-back cuff above tho band of lace, mado of the chiffon. A novel feature in the bodlco Is tho introduction of a narrow casing in tho mallno ruff which holds a tiny support ing wire. This is for tho purpose of holding the ruff In an upstanding posi tion away from tho neck. Thero is nothing intricate orv diffi cult In tho shaping of this dinner gown. Tho materials aro not unusual, and altogether It Is ono of the most practical and graceful models which Paris has furnished for tho present season. In spite of tho curious and sometimes freakish departures from tho conventional which ono sees so often pictured, it is the practical gowns of this character which havo pleased discriminating women of fash ion. Thero la plenty of distinction in tho wonderful materials and in tho use of color, not to mention tassels and bead work, without resorting to bizarre designs to got chic effects. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. Ing which faston it to place mako an additional ornamentation to the apron. Hems at tho bottom and at tho ends of the ties look best whon sewed by hand, but fow people fool llko giving so much time to a detail that is not Important. Careful, oven machlno stitching Is decorative and quite good enough. A wldo binding of tho fabrlo Is placed on tho apron at each side and starts at tho rows of insertion. Tho ties, which are mado separately, aro sowed to this binding. All theso details of construction are planned to add strongth to the apron, becauso ita freshness Is its best featuro and that raeanB soap and water and rubbing and ironing many a time before tho apron begins to go to pieces. Thero aro qulto a number of do signs for serving aprons. It is best to solect ono and stick to it. Tho exam plo hero 13 largo enough for any maid, and Is as easy to launder an n hand. kerchief. Four such aprons ought to insure freshness in tho maid's appear anco at all times. For ladles who oorvo their guests, smaller, moro lacy and much more olaborato aprons, ribbon-trimmed, in fact much fussed up with bow3 nnd furbelows, aro mado. Friends mako them for ono another, and they aro dainty bits of finery. Such aprons are usually mado by hand. Cross-barred muslins and other sheer materials aro used for thorn, with val or cluny laces In trimming. Little pocketB aro Intro duced and many sprightly bows' and rosottes of gay ribbon. Pretty figured voiles, white ground, covored with scattered flowers, and figured lawns, aro Ono for such nprono. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. Fashlon'o Fickleness. In tho present day thero aro many things needed to mako tho wardrobe comploto, and as fashions in theso Itoms change with such rapidity it means thero must bo a constant ro nowal of veils, collars and such llko If tho appearnnco is to bo kept en tirely up to dato. Thoro have been many novelties In troduced this season, somo of which aro both practical and pretty, othoro again merely eccentric. (?A?JK1 ICiliil i i ii - i i .
