"Wall-Surface
Satisfaction
DRESSING the walls is one of the
arts of today. More money is being
put into it by the average family
than, say for pictures or other wall deco
llation. From the mere covering of an
ursightly wall surface, it has grown to
the dignity of a decorative art.
Vlfc'
vi''
Can there be any surprise, therefore,
in the fact that the public is evincing a
greater interest in better wall decoration?
And having helped to lift wall deco
ration to its proper place in home beau
lincation, we feel this concerns the in
terest of every home owner who feels
justly satisfied with only the best in home
dccomlion.

SERMON RE
PLETE WITH
GOOD ADVICE
(Continued From First Page.)
lish? Because these people were
those who knew best how to do
things. Why is China lying supine
ly on her back while all the other
strong nations of the world are able
to treat her as they please? It is
because she has no control or mas-J
tery of herself; for she knows no
better. Th last war was a war of
brafns against brains. I
Christ knew enough law at twelve
to stump the authorities in the law;
Roosevelt at twenty-four was a lead
er in the New York state legislature.
Hut it was because they had studied
and learned.
Our public schools form one of the;
greatest national springs from which
our people quench their intellectual
thirst and gain both contentment
and power. Of our land the poet
speaks :
"Yet on 1 1 -1- links ami on her sands,
.nil wintry liills the school house
stan. Is.
An.l what lier infrared soil denies.
The harvest of the mind supplies.
The l it lies of the commonwealth
,re free strong minds and hearts of
health:
And more to her than gold or jrrain.
The running hand and cultured
hrain."
Another virtue very necessary for
life's mastery is a knowledge of the,
truth. It is one thing to know
things, but it is another thing to'
know the truth about things. It is'
necessary to know how to interpret
a knowledge of things rightly. A;
person may know all about flour,
baking powder, lard, salt, etc., but
he may not know the combination
that will make biscuits. The truth
is a higher knowledge that tells
when an action is right or wrong.
Christ said. "Know the truth and
the truth will make you free." That
word free means independent, so to
know the truth means to put your
self in control of yourself.
Pilot was a wise ruler and lawyer,
but he made a failure of himself be
cause he did not know the truth to
act accordingly. He admitted it
when he asked Christ. "What is the
truth?" The world has yet to see
any brainier men than Socrates,
Plato or Euclid. They knew much
about the aspirations of the soul, and
mathematical construction, but they
did not know the truth that would
assuadge the longing soul or build
into heaven. Jesus said: "If you
drink of the water I give you, you
will never thirst:" and "If you will,
come unto me all ye that labor and
are heavy laden; I will give you
rest." You can gain knowledge in
any part of the earth, among any
people, but truth can be found in ;
only one source, from one teacher,
and that is Christ. "I am the way,
the Truth, and the life."
Truth is the key that gives one
possession of the vast storehouse of
knowledge. Truth is the plan that
shows one how to put knowledge to
gether so that it makes a structure
of power. Truth is the price list
that gives one the value of know
ledge. If one has graduated from high
school, college, university, or post
graduate school, and has acquired
his A. P.. A. M.. Ph. D. and L.L.. D..
but in all that has not learned the
truth, he is to be pitied greatly. It
was such men as these who wrecked
and ruined "the German nation. Solo
mon said. "Buy the truth and sell it
not," but both he and Germany af
ter having brought the truth went
and sold it. No man who has not
applied the truth to his knowledge
of his business has ever succeeded.
The world has never honored a man
who gained wealth untruthfully. The
honored have rightly divided the
word of truth.
In the great triumvirate of virtues
that give the mastery in life, the
third to be found is love. Know
ledge gives the material; truth gives
the plan and love gives the incen
tive. There is a profane love and a
divine love. One is of the devil and
the other is of God. The Greek has
a word for both kinds, ems for the
profane and nynxjic for the divine.
So many murders have been com
mitted in the name of love, but it
was a selfish, worldly love which
springs from an evil heart. Put he
who has a spirit that will sacrifice
his own good before he will injure
the right of even an enemy, he has
the true element of love. "While we
were yet sinners, Christ died for us."
When they crucified Christ on the
cross, he said of his persecutors:
"Father forgive them for they know
not what they do." That was divine
love.
We secure knowledge from books
and experience; Ave gain truth from
the teachings of Christ, but we can
find love only at the throne of God
in repentence through the spirit of
God. It is the spirit that respects
the rights of others; it is the spirit
that protects the riglrts of others;
it revers the teachings of Christ; it
never climbs at the expense of oth
ers; it never depreciates one of God's
humblest creatures; it never hesi
tates to lend needed aid and does
not count the cost at length it is
a continual ferver of admiration for
God's creation, and is the only foun
dation upon which every construc
tive idea, plan or action has ever
been completed.
What innumerable instances of it
were seen during the war, but since
what a dearth of its manifestation
among the leaders of industry, the
capitalists, the senators, the legisla
tors, the labor leaders, tne diplomats,
the statesmen, the governors and the
rulers of the nations of me world.
Because of its lack, what turmoil,
what fears, what uncertainties, what
hunger, what distrust and suffering
has been the world's lot thru these
last few years when this principle
of love among Christian nations, so
called, could have avoided it all, did
they but love each other as they lov
ed themselves. What we really need
now is
"Patience to drudge In obscurity.
Patience to smile in adversity.
Patience to wait for prosperity;
Courase to do what you think you
can.
ourare to use aye the better plan,
"oiirane to yield to a better man:
l.ove for the work you attempt to do.
l.ove for the weak nis that cling
to you.
Love for the kind that is ever true
Patience, and courage and love."
These virtues are the virtues of
the Christian. In them is found suc
cess, happiness and life. In them
one is master of himself and is more,
than a conqueror. He then can do
all things. -What the world needs
today more than anything else is,
Christian leaders. We need men like
Gladstone, who missing a woman j
street sweeper, visited her home and
administered to her needs in sick
ness; men like Lincoln, whose heart
bubbled over in love for friend and
foe; men like Lloyd George, who
loves his Bible as he loves his meals;
men such as Hay, McKinley, Cleve
land. Roosevelt men of honor, in
tegrity and above all Christian love
for the most humble service. It is
such constructive statesmanshap as
this that we need. And any one who
plans to be a leader without the vir
tues we have named, but for selfish
motives, we do not want him. We
are overloaded and water-logged
from such leadership. But virtuous,
masterful Christian men and women
only will be able to solve the many
knotty problems that will free this
world today and permit it to live in
the freedom which it desires.
To attain the mastery of self and
become a master man, requires dil-
ligence and patience. "Ask and ye
shall receive, seek and ye shall find,
knock and it .shall be opened unto
you." Rubinstein, the great pianist,
having electrified his audience with
the rendition of the "Elf King." was
asked how he was able to do it, and
replied, "It is only by stoody." The
movies and auto addicts are not mak
ing master leaders today. It re
quires years of a buried life amidst
books, nature study, and good physi
cal development all regulated by a
strict adherence to Christ's teachings
and leadership. But it pays, and he
who does will be resurrected out of
such burial a person of power and
life.
Let me urge you, young people, to
use the fine start you have made for
the very best advantage. Do not
aim at anything low, but at the very
highest mark. We need your cour
age, your hope. Seek for the king
dom of God to come on earth. Never
was there a better opportunity for
your success. I know you can then
say
"I ain't leen alonsT tli' road as
Km- as some;
I'.ut she's kep" a fiittin' better
As I've come.
'Twill he Letter still next year.
Sure as I'm a set tin. here
Lookin' hack I'll see some mountains
I have dumb."
Remember, to he big and noble,
you cannot stoop to the petty things
of life. When Lincoln was called a
liar byecretary Seward, he replied,
to the secretary's surprise, "Perhaps
I am." You must not

Finally, let me advise you never
to hse sight of God, the almighty
Father. He said, "Without Me, ye
can do nothing," and Paul said, "I
can do all things through Christ,
who strengthened me." Peter tried
to walk on the water but sank as
soon as he took his eyes off Christ.
Napoleon and William tried to rule
the world in spite of God, but you
know their end. Without Him you
will fail and come to the end of
your life with nothing but leaves in
your hands and He will say to you:
"Depart from Me; I know you not."
"To make a little golden grain,
T:eiuires the sunshine and the rain.
The hoarded richness of the sod,
And CJod.
To form and tint one dainty llower.
That blossoms to bless one lleeting
hour.
Doth need the clouds, the skies above
And love.
To make one life that's white and
good ;
Fit for this human brotherhood.
Demands the toil of wearv vears,
And tears."
The fact that President Deschanel,
of France, has toured France official
ly, appearing in a lounging suit, and
has come out boldly and declared for
the abolition of strong drink is one
of the brightest lights in the history
of France and shows that President
Deschanel has placed his hand in
the hand of God and is leading thru
Him. You, too, may lead a multi
tude to tho light of power, happiness
and life, if you will place your hand
in the hand of God, and labor for
the meat the perisheth not and peo
ple will arise and call you blessed
and strong and a master man.
"They call me strong because my
tears 1 shed where none may see;
Because I smile, tell merry tales,
and win the crowd to me;
They call me strong because I laugh
to ease an aching heart.
Because I keep the sweet side out
and hide the bitter part.
But, Oli. could they who call me
strong, live but a" houre with me.
When 1 am wrunk with awful grief
in my Jetliseina lie.
They call me strong because I toil
from early morn till late,
Wei! knowing- there will ie no smile
to giect me at the gate;
They call me strong' because I hide
an inward pain with jest.
And drive away the care that comes
unbidden to ray breast.

Don't you want to try this fascinating test of the
New Edison's realism, which caused distinguished
psychologists to :usk in amazement: "What's behind
us, living singer or New Edison ?
Come in and hear Mr. Edison's Realism Test. See
what sensations you'll get, and determine for your
self whether listening to the New Edison produces
the same emotions as listening to the living singer.
The three distinguished men of art and science in
the picture are Dr. W. V. Ringham, Director of the
Department of Applied Psychologj, Carnegie Insti
tute of Technology; Prof. C. II. Farnsworth, Direc
tor of the Department of Music, Teachers' College,
Columbia University, and Wilson Follett, Esq.,
noted author and music critic They tried the Real
ism Test at the Edison Shop, New York. They
found that it brought into play their whole capacity to
feci and to enjoy. They got sensations that were
vivid and unique.
Jk
proved in this vital demonstration, before scientists of inter
national repute, that it is an ideal way for yon to judge tho
New Edison.
It tells you' precisely how effective is the New Edison
realism, and what this realism means in terms of your own
musical enjoyment.
' Please feel free to come in at any time, and make this unique
experiment for yourself.
