Means Fence Economy FIRST it is durable. Think of the time you have spent in the last five years repairing and rebuilding fences of other kinds. ALSO the time spent in watching your stock and the crops destroyed in spite of your carefulness. There are few farmers who have not lost valuable animals because poor fences taught them to jump. There are few communities where neighborhood disputes have not been the result of poor fencing. THE wire fence overcomes all of these troubles, enchances the appearance and the valine of your farm and instead of having a hard, profitless job to keep the fence corners clear of weeds, you cultivate the soil now worse than wasted. THINK this over, then come in and talk wire fencing with us. We will sell you the be§t and cheapest fencing there is. ' Eger’s Hardware Store Rensselaer, Indiana

THE SAVIOR'S TEACHINGS BROOKLYN TABERNACLE BIBLE STUDIES

“THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD." ■Il Quarterly Review—March 31. "The people tekich sal in darkness sow great light," and to them ichich sat «» the region and shadow of death light is sprung up."— Vatthew ir. IS.

IN the Bible< symbols light stands as the representative of God. of Christ, of the Church, of Truth, which by and by as “the Sun of Righteousness shall arise with healing

in its beams” for the cure of all the masses of the earth. It will scatter the darkness-oof sin. ignorance and superstition—the , works of the Prince of Darkness, who will then “be bound for a thousand years that he may deceive the nations no more until the thousand years are finished.” Of the heavenly Father we read. "God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all.” Jesus said, “I am the light of the world." Of the Church in her present condition we read, “Let your light so

shine before men that they maysee your good works and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” “Hide not your light under a bushel, but set it on a candlestick that it may give light nuto all that are in the house.” Nevertheless, “The darkness hatetb the light, neither

cometh to the light,” and “the whole world lieth ia the Wicked One”—in darkness.

This thought, pervades the Scriptures from first to last, namely, that for six thousand years, from the time of the entrance of sin to the second coining .of Jesus, the world will be subject to a reign of sin and death—under a pall of darkness, ignorance, superstition, siu. The only ones who will see the path 'of righteousness distinctly will be those guided by the “lantern”—God’s Word. They are represented as saying, “Thy word is a lamp to my feet and a lantern to my footsteps.”

Our text tells of it better day sure to come. But never might xve hope for the abolishment of darkness except in the way in which God has foretold it—through the establishment of Messiah’s Kingdom-i-through the shining forth of the Sun of Righteousness—the Church in glory.—Matthew xiii, 43. “Which Lighteth Every Man.”

The Apostle declares that Jesus Is the Time tight which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. (John i. 9.) The expression, “true light,” implies that there are false' or imitation lights, and of these we know that there are many—lights of heathendom and lights of Christendom. The only true light, however, is that which shone forth in our Savior’s teachings and example. It has thus far enlightened only a few, a “little flock." These are urged to let their light shine before men that they may take knowledge that they kaye been with Jesus. After eighteen centuries of the light battling with the darkness, and at times being almost quenched thereby, we might well ask, what hope is there that this prophecy will ever be fulflll-

Christendom's creedlights confusing.

enlightened, and be completed. Then, and not until then, will the Savior and His Church in glory be the great Sun of Righteousness which will arise over the earth, and shine forth for the healing of the people, for the scattering of the darkness of sin, And the lies of error—the bringing of life, peace, joy and blessing to all who will accept the favor in harmony with the Divine requirements, but ito utterly destroy the Night, and those who will still love darkneSs.

A Better Day Coming. For a. thousand years the glorious of Righteousness (Christ and the Church. Ilis Bride), will shine out The work will be thorough and complete Adam and his every child will be fully brought to a knowledge of the Truth, and will enjoy the blessed opportunity of coming, back Into "harmony with God, by the restitution processes. Aets iii, 10-23. Then our text will have most ample fulfilment—all mankind shall see the great Light which God has provided; even those “in the shadow, of death” must come, forth, that all may be enlightened by this “True Light which lighteth every man that cometb into the world.” O, the happy day that Is Coming to pur *poor. sin-cursed earth! There shall be no more curse, thank God! Instead of the curse shall be the Divine blessing; “and every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth shall be beard saying. ‘Praise and glory and honor and dominion be unto Him that sitteth upon the Throne, and unto the Lamb, forever!’ ” . 7 ' ' i •-

“Thy word is a light to my path.”

ed—that Jesus, as the Light of the world, will enlighten every man born into the world? The Bible answers that God will hasten this very matter in His own time; but before the world .will be enlightened, a saintly

class, the Church, the Bride of Christ, must be

Woman Her Home, Her Interests.

A Clothes-Pin Party.

A mother of a twelve-year-old daughter was at a loss just how to entertain for her. The doll and playing at house and “Come to See’’ period was past and she was too young for a card party, so her clever brain evolved the clothes-pin party, which I am about to describe. The invitations were written and folded, held fast by a wee gilded clothes-pin and delivered by an obliging SQung brother. When all had arrived, a big basket of ordinary clothes, pins was placed In the middle of the room and all were told they could have, ten minutes In which to build a block house on the floor, following these instructions, which the mother read aloud:

Start the house foundation with two clothespins laid down parallel and sufficiently far apart for tw'o more clothespins to bridge over the intervening space. Be sure to place the clothespins so that they jreßt on the open edge of the prongs and He steady, for the round edge is apt to roll and slide. Lay the second two pieces across with their ends on the first two pins. Build up the lower part of the house in this way, eight layers high. The upper part of the building will heed longer logs, which may be made by taking two pins and fitting the prongs together; with these cross the top of the house so the edge projects an equal distance on both sides. After the four logs are adjusted proceed with the second story the same as the first. Use all long logs and continue until it’s ten “pins” high, then make a brown paper or pasteboard roof.

Next take clothespins, dress them like “early settlers” and see how good and lifelife they appear. Plenty or black, white and colored tissue paper must be provided, and paste, scissors and thread. Prizes awarded for the best little men and women manufactured by the young artists. The table centerpiece was a clothespin house in a yard with miniature “pin” figures; small trees, animals and chickens completed this most realistic scene. _The napkins were pinned together with gilded “pins,” the name card tied to the top.

Bee-hive Festival.

Of charity affairs there are many, and I want to tell you of this one, which is perhaps seasonable at any time of the year. Posters decorated with an enormous bee hive at the top, in and out of which b<es were flying, the heads were all !a« >s of girls and

On the right is a dainty cap of dewdrop chiffon, edged with tiny mossrose buds, and with a frill of Valenciennes lace. In the center the child Is wearing a Liberty velveteen dress made in one piece with a tasselled yoke in Berlin canvas embroidered in red, blue, and yellow wqol. In the dress worn by the girl in the left-hand corner, the chief features are the gauged Magyar sleeve and the tablier overdress of green cashmere embroidered }n floss silk. The underdress Is a pale shade of green Liberty silk.

Brain Contest—Beauty and Beast ' Beheld Beginning Fee—ten cents. Be Betimes. In making up the committees, they were classed under four heads: Boys, beauties, benedicts and bachelors. The various booths were all flower decorated. At one bon-bons and blossoms; over one counter was this sign, "Bargains to be Bartered.” At a "Lost and Found” department this placard attracted attention and nickels: "Bundles, boxes and baskets checked, or delivered.” At a table for children in charge of the “busy bees,” toyß, books, bears and bunnies werei on sale. In the refreshment bee-hive the following menu was served, also just light refreshments, consisting of hot biscuit and honey with a cup of tea:

IN VOGUE

Some of the latest gowns from Paris smack strongly of the dlrectolro. Expensive afternoon gowns are trimmed with large quantities of rich lace. «

Itich velvet corduroys will make many of the most fashionable tailored suits. -

White lace waists will undoubtedly have a great vogue throughout the winter.

Ostricn feathers are dyed in every modish shade —green, red, gray and the like.

Still increases the favor to waists having the pep him or girdle finish to wear outside the skirt.
