Thou shalt not take the name of the
Lord thv God in vain, for the Lord will
not hold him guiltless that taketh his
name in vain.—Ex. xxtvii.
Frances Willard not only loved the
sentiments of the alxive hymn but lived
it our. in all her beautiful life. Too tnanv
Christians sing the hymn without ever
giving a thought that it should be the
controlling principle of life from day to
day.
Evergreens were first used for decora-
tions, at feasts, by pagan Rome. When
Rome became Christian the pagan festi
vals were changed to Christian feasts,
decorations and all. In some parts of
the world the holly is called Chrisl’s-
thorn. and has been used for Christmas
decorations from time immemorial.
Emperor William’s journey to the
Holy Land ha3 been marked throughout
by his loyalty and devotion to Christian
ity.
On Sunday morning the royal
party dedicated a new orphan asylum.
In the afternoon the royal knees pressed
the earth of that sacred spot on the sum
mit of the Mount of Olives, while tears
coursed down the cheeks of the emperor
and empress in contemplation of the last
days of the Master and the ascension of
the glorified Christ from that spot.
Monday following was the grandest day
for Protestantism that Jerusalem has
ever seen, when the emperor took part i
in the consecrating services of the Evan
gelical church, now the finest and larg
est church in Jerusalem, which was
filled to its utmost capacity. At the
conclusion of the services the emperor
in a clear, strong voice addressed the
audience, expressing his firm belief in
the Gospel of Christ for the salvation of
a sinful world. Let Cristians rejoice
and praise God that the foremost reDre-
sentative of an intelligent nation should
stand before the world as a witness for
our Lord and Master.

—The Appeal.
At this season the health of the baby
beoomes a matter of much care and
should engage the most intelligent
thought of every mother. A well known
physician was recently discussing the
subject with a well meaning but flighty
young mother and expressed himself
thus: “Just leave him alone. Don’t
worry bis temper into a passion and his
nerves into fiddlestrings by fussing.
Have plain clothes—noruflies and laces
that will have to be changed four times
a day. If he belonged to me, he would
have a gingham gown and a sunbonnet
and be turned loose in the garden, there
to stay until the Bun got too hot or
meal or nap time came around. Have
him sleep on a hair mattress and a hair
pillow—no feathers or eider down to
make him agoodsujbect for pneumonia
and sore throat, croup and fever. Don’t
let every woman in the hotel kiss him.
Don’t wheel him around in his carriage
all day. Let him dig and get close to
Mother Earth, and don’t think he will
be quite as white or quite as thin as he
is now when you come back in Septem
ber. ”

"In case the government weather
breeder continues to give us this horrid,
sticky weather that would take the kink
out of a poodle’s hair, ” said a clever
girl, “I’ll tell you a secret which will
keep the curl in the most hopelessly
straight uair. But it involves a return
to the barbario curl paper, I warn you.
Well, first of all the hair must be thor
oughly shampooed, and, by the way,
this should not lie done oftener than
onoe In three weeks even in summer. It
not only injures woman’s crowning
glory, but also makes it unmanageable.
At night when retiring that part of the
hair which is worn waved or curled
Bhould be wet in wauir in which a lit
tle borax has been dissolved and then
rolled up on curl papers. Care should
be taken not to have the hair too wet.
Next morning there is a natural look
ing, light, dry, fluffy curl in the hair
which defies even this sticky, muggy,
curl destructive weather. Even this,
with the intense heat, will not change
the curls into strings before it is time
to confine them in papers again. ”
