TK matter is interesting to all married women for the thought it brings up about those “off times.” They are times that are fraught with danger. And the danger is not only in writing down something that will be damaging long after it is regretted, but the danger of saying something that will be remembered by others long after It is forgotten by the husband or wife involved.

IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY I chool Lesson By REV. p. B. FITZWATER. D. D_ Member of Faculty. Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. ©. Western Newspaper Union.

Lesson for September 1 PAUL THE APOSTLE LESSON TEXT—Acts 20:33-35; PhlUppians 4:4-14. GOLDEN TEXT—In all things I gave you an example, that so laboring ye ought to help the weak.—Acts 20:35. PRIMARY TOPIC—A Happy Worker for Jesus. JUNIOR TOPIC—PauI a Good Soldier for Jesus. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—How to Find Happiness in Work. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—The Church and the Toiler. The: explanatory title given by the lesson committee, “Paul (A Worker With Hand and Brain),” is unsatisfactory. His pursuit of a trade was incidental, as well as working with his brain. He was in deed and in truth the apostle of Jesus Christ and his entire person was dominated by his passion to serve his Lord. I. His Birth (Acts 22:3; cf. Phil. 3:17).. He was born in Tarsus of pure Hebrew stock. He could with lawful pride boast of a godly ancestry. 11. His Home Training (Phil. 3:5). His parents were pious people and carefully reared him according to Jewish standards. Most religious leaders spring out of such homes, as for example, Moses. Samuel, and Timothy. Stern principles of Integrity were Inculcated in him, thus , giving him strength of character to impress the world. 111. Hie Education (Acts 22:3). 1. His patriotism. He was brought up to love his nation. He proudly affirmed. “I am a Jew.” Paul was a nationalist of the true type. 2. A love for the Bible. The Scriptures were to him the very Word of God. What was found written therein was the final word for him. Loss of love for the Bible and implicit faith therein is a tragedy. 3. Zealous for God. He says, “I was zealous toward God.” The word “zealous" literally means “to boil/ It means that his life was inflamed with passion for God. 4. He was conscientious. His supreme aim was to have a Conscience void of offense. Conformity to the dictates of conscience is demanded. It is the law of life for every man, but because of the blight of sin the conscience needs to be taught by the Word of God. 5. He had a trade. Every Jewish boy, regardless of his father’s wealth, was taught a trade. It was a saying among them that he who failed to teach his son a trade taught him to steal, IV. His Conversion (Acts 22:6-10). L On the way to Damascus (v. 6). He *was filled with hatred of Christ and was on his way to Damascus with authority to bring to Jerusalem to be punished such Christians, men and women, as might be found. 2. A light from heaven (vv. 6-9). As this light burned through the sky he fell to the ground. Accompanying the light was a voice saying, “Saul, Saul, why persecutes! thou me?” In response to his Inquiry as to who was speaking, the Lord declared that it was Jesus of Nazareth whom he was persecuting, i 3. An honest Inquiry (v. 10). This is shown by his declaration of his willingness to do what the Lord willed. The Lord, therefore, instructed him to go to Damascus where fuller light would be given him. V. Paul’s Philosophy of Life (PhlL 4:4-13). What men do and say expresses their philosophy of life. In order to induce right living, there must be created right thinking, for truly, “As a man thinketb in his heart, so is be." L Unceasing joy In the Lord (v. 4). The one who knows the Lord Jesus Christ as a personal Saviour and who knows that in the providence of God all things work together for good to them who love God, cannot kelp but persistently rejoice in spite of personal circumstances. X Be careful for nothing (v. 6). The word “careful” means “concern which leads to distraction.” This does not mean that such a one will be hazardous in bis living or fail tn the exercise of common sense. He will not be disposed to depend upon himself, but cast himself upon bis Lord for everything. <L Think on right things (v. 8). The one who thinks on truth will be true; the one who thinks on honesty will be. honest; the one who thinks on lore will have love flowing from his person. Things honorable and of good reputation among the people will not be neglected. 4. All sufficiency is in Christ (rv. 10-13). The one who is thus tn harmony'with his Lord will be content in whatever circumstances he may be placed. He will know how to be abased and how to abound; be will know how to be hungry and to be full; and to abound even when suffering need. Enduranco In climbing a mountain there are three stages. The first is the pleasurable start, the second is the wearisome cUmb, and the third is the peaceful rest on the summit. At the second stage many quit and turn back. They never reach the top where a fine view and pure air are the rewards. Getting tired is a part of the game, and those who win must endure the strain with good grace. Tree Glory ° The glory consists in doing what deserves a place in history; writing what deserves to be read; and in ao living as to make the world happier and better for our living in it—Thoreau. Happiness “Happiness depends upon the taste, and not on the thing; and It is by having what we like that we are made happy, and not by having what others consider likeable.”—Rochefoucauld.

New Autumn Woolens Are Striking

t.-J r *•? a-4L Is 1 r

WOOLENS to “suit” the smart woman this fall are that fascinating we are not go-

ing to be able to resist them and you wouldn’t if you could after once glimpsing them. From every inch of their woof and their warp the woolens brought out this season radiate a beauty of coloring, of texture, of novelty in patterning an,d weave which is simply taking the world of fashion by x storm. Seeing that the American mills and the mills abroad are giving us the most amazing, the-most beautiful woolens fancy can picture, it is to rejoice that the English habit of wearing sportsy or tailored costumes for all daytime occasions in contrast to most resplendent and glorious formal fashions for evening has spread to America. Now that the smart thing to do this fall is to go very colorfully and handsomely tailored In the daytime, It is safe to predict that dresses, suits, swagger costumes together with threepiece ensembles made of stunning woolens will predominate by a large majority in the wardrobe of every fash-ion-wise woman. One of the most dramatic gestures which has to do with this sweeping vogue for grand woolens is the costume which goes fifty-fifty gorgeous cloth and high-colored suede. That is to say, a skirt of rich woolen is topped with a jacket or, sweater of suede or leather which carries the key color of the plaid or striped material. To climax the scheme of design, the newest thing is the blouse which is knitted of the identical yarn in which the wool material is woven. Thus a perfect color harmony is achieved. Another thing likable about the new woolens is that they are so delightfully soft and caressing to the touch, and give ear to this bit of good news—they are so woven in combination of yarns, they do not wrinkle.

What Designers Are Planning for Autumn

Fine organdies and laces may be stiffened with gum arable solution. Some natural color peasant linen frocks with raspberry accents are interesting. If you have decided to wear white and pastel linens, better pick the heavier varieties. There’s something piquant and youthful about the Jockey suits for sprightly misses.

Just to mention a few of the smartest and newest of new woolens —there are kemp tweeds, bright nubbed tweeds of unusual treatment, sawtooth checks, broken plaids, marl tweeds, chevron stripes, ribbed diagonals, ombre plaids and others too numerous to cite. — The colorings of the versatile woolens brought out this season are a triunips both in art and of science. A complete wardrobe may be planned to x include several colors, none of which conflict because the most vivid plaids and gay hues are given dusky overtones which bleud into one grand symphony via misty interweavings of grayish or brownish yarns. The attractive Seton Cotterill collection of London which was recently shown in America by the Chicago wholesale market council stressed particularly this feature of color blend in smart woolens. The trio of high-style woolen fashions here pictured were displayed in this exhibit See illustrated to the left in the group a perfect travel costume. The Scotchy plaid in black and white, of which it is made, has a heavy nub yarn Interwoven to give highlights of canary yellow. A new chevron-stripe wool in tones of amber, rustique and brown makes the suit with tuxedo topcoat (centered in the illustration.) Note the smart cross-scarf of the jacket Semi-fltted lines and woolen buttons giye a new smaft air, also the front fullness of the skirt The new skirts are marvelously built They are most deceptive. They look as innocently pleated and paneled as you please, while in reality they are concealing slits which allow for perfect freedom of action. Such a skirt is the one to the right in the picture. “Swagger collegienne" describes this ombre plaid suit In rich tones of dubonnet red and ivory. It has a snug collar and stock scarf and is worn with matching sweater. . © Western Newspaper Union.
