I A GOD READY TO PARDON Hosea 14—June 4 “For thoe art a God ready to pardon, pracionr and merciful, slow to anger."—Kek. t:tl. CODAY’S study is an exhortation by the Prophet Hosea to Israel, at that time distinct ? , from Judah; but it is applicable to our own nation as well as to every nation. Israel had become debauched through idolatry. Intermarriage with the royalty of heathen nations had introduced the idolatries es heathen religions and the sensualities which constituted their attractive features to the people. With the sensuality came a lack of moral sense—a general numbness of conscience respecting impurities. record indicates that Hosea’s.own wife was an adulteress, a debauchee, who finally left her husband and her false offspring. Later the Prophet took her back under his own roof, but not as his wife. He was compassionate toward her and her offspring. "Return Unto the Lord” No doubt the Prophet's own experiences had much to do with awaken-

ing him to a realization of the deplorable state of his own people. When the spirit of the Lord came upon him in prophecy, be could tbe*better from his own experiences enter into sympathy with them. The Israelites

were fatherless in the sense that they had denied the Heavenly Father, the Creator, and had become Children of the Adversary: even as Jesus said to some, "Ye are of your father the Devil, for his works ye do.” In their repentance, in their return to God, they were not only to abandon false hopes and false worship and iniquity, but they were to take with them words, and say unto the Lord, "Take away our iniquity and receive us graciously, that we may render unto Thee the fruit of our lips—our praise.” Then follows a prophecy which has not yet been fulfilled, but will, we believe, soon be realized. It tells of the turning away of God’s anger, of His blessing upon Israel. It will have fulfilment when Messiah begins His reign. "Receive Us Graciously” Be it noted that the people of Israel to this day have not accepted the Lord’s terms as stated by the Prophet. They have not asked to be received by grace —graciously. How God can be just and yet clear us was not made known in Hosea’s day, but is now clearly set forth as the very essence of the “good tidings” of God’s love. God himself has provided in Jesus this, the Ransom sacrifice, necessary to the satisfaction of Divine Justice, so that God can be both just and merciful, although these terms are antagonistic. <n order to have a clear understanding of God’s merciful provision it is necessary,’ first, that the transgressor shall come to a realization of his own needs—that he shall crave a recognition by the Creator and a share in His mercy and loving provisions. Such abandoning of sin to the extent of ability will be assisted of the Lord in connection with the exercise of faith in Him, which will bring rest and peace of soul and a realization that Divine mercy will make good all unintentional blemishes and cause all things to work together for good to him. But there is no place on the Highway of Holiness—the Highway of Divine mercy and love and forgiveness and peace—for transgressors, for those who knowingly and willingly go contrary to the Divine will.

lands, banks, stocks and bonds, name and fame. Only the comparatively few, a mere handful, know God as tbeir Father and are known of Him as His children. Their confidence is in the work of their own hands, and in 'lodges, unions, trusts, insurance, church membership, etc. “God is not in all their thoughts.” The condition of “Christendom” today is one of trust in armies and navies, soldiers and guns, aeroplanes and dynamite, great wealth and prosperity. Under the picture of Laodicea, the nominal church of today is described as saying, “I am rich and increased in goods and have need of nothing.” The Lord answers. “Thou knowest not that thou art poor and wretched and miserable and blind and naked. I counsel thee to buy of Me gold tried in the fire, and raiment, that thou ma vest be clothed and “that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear.”—Rev. 3;17, 18.

A WANING HONEYMOON

Love Came to the Rescue Before It Was Too Late.

“I can stand this no longer. Just think—the honeymoon scarcely over and to be subjected to such treatment!" She stamped her foot. “Honeymoon!” he replied. There's mighty little honey in it. If that’s all the moon has to eat 1 don’t wonder it wanes so soon.” “How could it help waning, with you dying to get back to those horrid men who sent you home stupefied the night before —I was going to say the wedding—l mean my covenant with Satan?” “You mean that our hoiieymoon waned because I got ‘full’ at .my bachelor dinner?” “This is no time for your witticisms. I didn’t know that 1 was placing my life in the bands of one who could lose his self respect by pouring wine down his throat.” “I thought all bachelors were privileged to drink a last cupful of happiness before submitting to a life of misery.” "Before dragging a wife into a life of misery, you should say. Oh, that 1 should have put my neck in a halter!” "And mine in chancery.” "I’m going back to my mother.” "And I to my club. My room there is not yet taken.” "I suppose you sent to find out before your promise to love and cherish was a day old." "No; as soon as yours to honor and obey was broken.” “I was a fool to promise to honor. I never promised to obey." “They should change the words for women to ‘not to scratch.’ ” ‘“Not to be devils’ would do very well for the men. only men could not keep a promise to change their natures.” » y “Singular that you didn’t see the hoof under my stocking when we were courting.” - “Oh, the devil knows how to wear gaiters.” During the latter part of this dialogue the young wife was putting on her “things” to go. She looked very pretty as she stood before a mirror thrusting pins through hat and hair. The anger in ber cheeks and eyes was very becoming. “Better not jab that spike In when you’re mad,” said the husband, with brutal plainness. “You might pierce your brain.” “Little you'd care If I did.” There was more tremolo, which would have led any but a sulky man to seek a reconciliation. “I might get a new honeymoon.” sald the husband tauntingly. To this there was no reply except a new flash of, the eye. She was opening boxes on the dresser and shutting them with an angry bang. “Looking for your gloves?” No answer. “If it’s your gloves you’re looking for I’ve got them in my pocket. You remember last night when we were walking home and you were tellifig me how happy you were because you had such an admirable husband. Your hands were cold, and you took off your gloves so that I could warm your fingers.” He tossed the gloves on the dresser. His wife picked them up and walked out of the room. He heard the front door bang, then betook himself to his club. Looking about for some of his former associates to dine with him. he found they had all made engagements, and he was obliged to dine alone. After dinner be drank his coffee and smoked his cigar in the case. It didn't look so attractive as it had once looked. He was bored—in fact, he was troubled. Lovers who try to make up their minds that they are haters always feel troubled. It was not long before this one began to worry, thinking he might have gone too far and that he should have given his wife a chance to make up. At 9 o’clock he concluded to go to his desolate home. As he was approaching he saw tHe figure of a woman turn the corner. She looked up at the bouse, paused, turned away, looked back, turned again and walked slowly to the house. The husband stepped behind a tree. The woman went to the front door, stood Irresolute, inserted a key, opened the door and went in. “Oh, she took a key, did she?” He concluded to take a short walk. It would help matters for her to find him absent The house would look as lonely to her as his club had looked to him. In an hour he returned and went in, humming a merry tune. His wife was not downstairs, so he sailed up into their bedroom. She was standing before the mirror in her nightdress combing her hair. “Hello!” he said, with feigned surprise. “Tired of your mother already?’ There was no answer. “Oh, I thought perhaps you might be penitent!” He could see a flash In her reflection In the mirror. She put her hair up in a knot, walked to where she Had left her clothes and began to put them on.' He was a very mean fellow and, "permltted her to dress herself, even to putting on her hat. But when she started to leave he caught her In his arms, her head fell on his shoulder, and that was the end of ft—for that time.

Woman s World

Rich Society Women Befriend Poor. Babies.

MRS. J. BORDEN HARRIMAH.

There are fads in'philanthropy, just as In everything else where the fashionable woman is concerned. Last year and the year before it was woman suffrage, but this season it seems to be babies. In New York city a coterie of the exclusive society women have banded together to help ths mothers of the poor save their babies* lives during the summer. Milk stations are to be established, and tile $300,000 which these rich .women have collected will be devoted to the work. Mrs. J. Borden Harriman, who has been identified with many of the philanthropic movements of the smart set, is at the head of this project Over sixty depots are to be opened, where milk will be distributed to the poor and whence doctors and nurses will be sent to Instruct tenement mothers how to bring up their children. The secretary of the milk committee, Mrs. Ida White Parker, said: “Women of foreign lands in New York do not understand caring for children here under totally different climatic conditions. “Out of 125,000 babies born in New York city annually 16,000 die under one year of age. Of these more than 8,000 waste away for lack of proper food and care. During a two weeks’ heated period last summer 1.005 babies died. It has been proved that this waste of life could be much reduced if mothers were taught how to feed and care for babies and if pure and properly prepared milk were supplied at prices which they could afford to pay.”

Italian Beads.

A girl who has just come back from Italy wore around her neck over a dark blouse a necklace of rope gold tied loosely at the bust line and finished with two long tassels. ■ Every one who saw this chain spoke of its beauty, thinking it an heirloom. The chain was nothing but a rope of tiny gilt glass beads bought in Venice for about 40 cents. “I am sorry now,” she said, “that I did not get more of them. I brought one for a friend, and we have both had the same experience. Every one thinks it one of the old gold chains of colonial days. Over there they are so plentiful that it cheapened the chain to my/own mind.” The friend.’ who was up in bead work, straightway copied this chain for herself. She strung twelve strands of coarse yellow silk with the tiniest gilt beads to be found in this country, twisted them into a tightly coiled rope and finished the end with a big gold bead, from which bung tassels of the small ones. The effect was not so good as in the Venetian chain, for the same delicate beads could not be found, but a showy and unusual ornament was achieved to brighten a dark blouse.

Fashion’s Fads.

The long seamless shoulder remains in excellent vogue Handkerchiefs of the finest linen are edged with black chantilly lace. Exceedingly handsoihe are the ribbons of metal net, edged with an inch band of satin or Persian silk. The true empire suit has yet to be evolved, and it is doubtful if it would prove worth while, should it ever be represented among fashionable models. Cut ostrich feathers are now being made into braids for trimming hats and dresses. These come in all colors that are adapted for street and house wear. Many overskirts come within a few inches of the bottom of the skirt and are edged with a trimming which does not catch in the skirt, but merely gives a finish to the tunic. The touch of red so dominant in the winter’s fashions has spread to the artificial flower, and the deep tone of the old fashioned fuchsia now adds warmth to a corsage bouquet of violets. Beautiful bags with ornate frames, heavy with repousse work, are seen in silk, satin, velvet, suede or other fine leather. The frames are often oval or pointed at the tops, and the bags more often than not are rounded at the bottom.
