many Other attractive articles, all the

display of real merit. The metal work
adapted from Egyptian motives is es
pecially good.
The training in color appreciation
and In the ability to use colors well,
as In selecting clothes, furnishing a
house, etc., is particularly valuable for
the girls.
Course Is Comprehensive.
The course Is comprehensive and is
adapted as far as possible to the in
dividual. Because a girl Is poor In
"representation" and has "no talent for
drawing," as the old-fashioned phrase
went. It does not follow that she may
not have appreciation or Inventive
ability In connection with color and
form.
The modern art course recognizes
this and alms to develop not only a
sense of beauty, but also manual dex
terity and pleasure In good workman
ship and a thoughtful adaptation ot

The aim of manual arts In the ele

by M!ss Esther W. Wuest. general su
pervisor uf drawing and handwork In
the Cortland public schools:
"First, development of creative abil
ity: second, skill in the execution of
Ideas created: third, training in artis

manual arts course on the part of the
pupils should be the ability to plan and
work out a problem in good form. The
steps will Include the sketching of tbe
object from form. Idea or memory;
the drawing of exact patterns and the
construction of the article Itself. The
result should be the original idea of

LONDON'. April 20. (Special.) Much
of the activity In London at the presen
time Is concerned with arrangements
for forthcoming functions, and the bust
est woman of all Is Mrs. Oeorge Corn
wallis-West. who is bent on making
"Shakespeare's England" the finest ex
hlbltlon of the Summer season.
Her latest enterprise In this connec
tion is to take steps to estsllsh a club
In the grounds of Ear! s Court, which
she Intends to make a society rendes-

Tavern Club, and already many well-
known people have applied for member
ship. Including Mrs. John Astor. Lady
Cunard. Lady Essex, Lord Barrymore
the Duke of Rutland and the Earl of
Essex.
The season's subscription Is Axed

scheme of the club's Interior, and the
walls will be used to exhib't some of the
rare old prints and picture lent for this
purpose by newly-elected members.

The ruffle Is completed by a small
handbag of the same material, made
with the same frayed silk ruchlng round
the edges. In quaint shapes, these bags
are quite small and have cords of the
taffetas by which to carry them. The
cords, however, are comparatively short
and are not worn over the shoulder. In
stead, they are merely hung from the
wrist or carried in the hand.
The craze for shot taffetas Is finding
expression In every article of feminine
attire. Not only are women arraying
themselves In taffeta gowns, tailored
suits, lists, blouses and dress accessories

also Joining In popularizing the fabric

American Countess Endows Home
for Wornout Variety Performers.
LONDON. April 20 It is not gener
ally known that the Countess of Suf
folk was chiefly responsible for the
equipment of what has now become
known as "The Old Pros' Paradise."
This is a picturesque old mansion sit
uated on the upper reaches of the
Thames and acquired for the purpose
of providing a home for old perform
era on the variety stage who have
fallen on x'evll times."
The "Paradise" has been opened os
tensibly under the auspices of the Mu
sic Hall Benevolept Fund, but It Is
understood that more than one Amer
ican has had a hand In providing the
"needful." which amounts to a very
substantial sum.
Those who know what a fascination
the variety theater has for "Daisy Let
ter." as the Countess Is known to her
Intimate friends, will not be surprised
to hear that she has dipped her hand
deeply into her purse to make the old
"pros" happy in their declining years.
It Is well known by those In her
set that she gives. In one way and an
other, a big sum every year to phil
antlirophy of this kind, but the outside
public never hears of her benevolence.
This openhandedness Is said to be such
that If her powers of dealing with her
fortune were not somewhat curtailed
she would be in danger of Impoverish

SOCIETY EVENT SENSATION
Conntess of Craven Issues Invitation
to 1000 Londoners.
LONDON. April 20. (Special.) Side
by side with the rapidly-moving drama
In the political world, there Is consid
erable activity behind the social scenes.
where friendly rivalries for the pre
mier place of political hostess for the
government are hotly contested.
Contrary to the usual rule, Lady
Wlmborne has go far played a more or
less self-effacing part, doubtless In or
der to give her daughter-in-law, Mrs.
Frederick Guest, once Miss Phlpps, of
Pittsburg, the best possible chance of
distinguishing herself. As Mrs. Lewis
Harcourt, formerly Miss Burns, of New
York, now the wife of the popular Sec
retary for the Colonies, contented her
self with Tuesday afternoon at homes.

doubtless feeling her position as a
political hostess secure. It seemed at
first that the rapid strides Mrs. "Fred
dy" Guest was taking in the limelight
luight land her into the coveted posi
tion, especially as the Countess of Gra
nard has been resting on her laurels.
Suddenly, however, the Countess of
Craven has sprung to the front, large
ly through the co-operation of her par.
ents, Mr. and Mrs. Bradley Martin, who
live next door to their daughter In
Chesterfield Gardens.
That part of the social world whose
Interests are political have not hither
to looked upon the Countess of Cra
ven as a competitor for fame and pres
tige in any but the purely social stakes.
So when she Issued invitations to more
than 1000 guests to a political recep
tion a profound sensation was caused.
As the attendance Included Prime Min
ister and Mrs. Asquith, the American
Ambassador and Mrs. Whitelaw Reld
and a large sprinkling of the Diplo

sides that she achieved in a few hours
what other ambitious women fail to
bring about by means of many well
planned receptions.
DEITY OF JESUS CHRIST PROVED BY GOSPELS, SAYS PORTLAND PREACHER
Rev. Walter B. Hinson Declarer Divinity of Nazarene Recognized by Alleged Associates.
Vara I I. "Tbe ti!nnlnc of the gosptl
ef Jnu Christ, tbe fcvn uf God."
FROM a clergyman I have received a
twofold objection to the deity of
Jesus, with which I deal this
morning. The first suggested the text,
for In Ms objection he says the gospels
or Mark. Matthew and Luke teach that
Jesus was a man. and Just like other
men.
Mark he mentions first. So to Mark
let the appeal be made. In the first
chapter ot this gospel, and In the open
Ing sentence, we are told It Is the "be
ginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ,
the Son of God." One can hardly Im
agine the deity of Jesus being more
fitly or forcibly expressed than In that
sentence. In the second chapter It Is
stated that Jesus saw a man sick ot
the palsy, and to the man he said.
"Son. thy sins are forgiven thee." And
the Jews murmured, saying. "Who can
forgive sins save God alone?" And he,
conscious of their murmuring, an
. swered. "The Son of Man hath power
on earth to forgive sins." And to
show that he could do the double work
of saving the soul and healing tha
body, be said unto the man who was
palsjed. "Take up thy bed. and walk."
Here Is Jesus deliberately asserting
of himself that he can do what God
alone has power to do: he ran forgive
sin. In the third chapter we find the
Master healing the sick and casting out
evil spirits; and the evil spirits say to
him. "We know thou art the Son of
God." Ad Instead of rebuking them
for their blasphemy, he merely lays
upon them the charge that they pub
lish nought regarding hlx: but there
Is his acceptance of the fact that he
Is the Christ of God.
Mlrarlea hw IMvaatty of Jeaaa.
In the fourth chapter we see Jesus
asleep in a boat. And a great atorm
sweeps down from the hills and the
affrighted disciples arouse him saying.
"Master, carest thou not that we
perish?" And ha arose and rebuked
the winds and the waves.' And the
Ulsclplea marvcltd wilb a great marvel.
as well they might; for while man has
achieved much, he still lacks the power
to hush the fury of the tempest and
allay the hurricane when It Is angered.
In the fifth chapter the demoniac cries:
"What have I to do with hee, Jesus,
thou Son of the most high God?" And
Jairus' danghter Is raised from Tleath
by the Master'a word of power: "Dam
sel, I say unto thee arise." Thus does
Christ display the Itfe-glvlng energy,
which he said he possessed In common
with His Father.
In the sixth chapter he beholds a
vast crowd of people surrounding him
including S000 men. And the disciples
say, "Send them away." But he, being
moved with compassion, said. "Cause
them to sit down." And they sat down
upon the green grass, and be fed tOOO
men. besides the women and the chil
dren, with five loaves and two flshea.
And when the meal was ended, they
took up of the fragments that re
mained. It baskets full. Here again la
the outputtlng of the marvelous power
of Jesus. In the seventh chapter a
Syrophenlclan woman came to Christ,
on behalf of her demon-possessed
daughter, and he said. "Woman, know
you not that I am sent to t"e house
of Israel? And the dogs may not eat
of the children's bread?" And with a
faith that would not take "No" for an
answer, she says, "Lord, even dogs eat 1
the crumbs that fall from the Master's
table. I name myself a dog. and I name
thee Lord." And he aald, "Woman,
great is thy faith; thy daughter la
healed."
Teatlaaay mi Peter Add seed.
In the eighth chapter Simon Peter,
being asked what he thinks ot Jesus
Christ replied, that he and his fellow
disciples believed Christ to be the Son
of God. And he did not rebuke them;
In which he sinned. If he were not
God. And In the ninth chapter he took
three of his disciples up Into the moun
tain and was transfigured before
them; and Moses and Elijah talked
with Illra; and God the Father iald:
"Tlils Is my beloved Son; hear blra."
In the 10th chapter. Bartlmeus. the
blind man. cries, "Jesus, son of David,
have mercy on me." And when the
Savior asked what the blind man
wanted, he, said, "Lord, that I may re
ceive my sight." And the faith of
Bartlmeus In the lordship of Jesus was
so wonderfully honored that the man
was blind no longer.
In the 11th chapter of this gospel
Jesus says, "Go Into the Village yon
der and you will find a man who can
be of service to me: and when you ap
proach him and ak for the little favor,
you will be sura to say this: The Lord
hath need of him." And they went
on their way and when they came to
the man and said, "The Master has
need of this colt." the humble disciple
whose name Is unknown, said, "If the
Lord has need ot anything of mine,
all that is mine belongs to him."
In the 12th chapter, when the scribes,
those old-time enemies of Jesus, said,
"You are only on a level with David,"
he replied. "Remember you not evhat
David said. 'The Lord said unto my
Lord, alt thou at my right hand till I
make thine enemies thy footstool.' "
And Jesus went on to say, "If I am the
Son of David alone, how Is It that
David calls me his Lord?" In the 13th
chapter Jesus Christ tells how the day
Is coming when man shall see the Son
ot Man In the clouds of heaven and
with the great glory of the ever-lasting
kingdom about Him the Son of Man
and the Lord of eternity! Then in the
14th chapter the scene change and the
Savior stands before Calaphas the high
priest, who said. "Art thou the Christ,
the Son of the Blessed?" And under
oath, Jesus said, "I am."
Rous Crstarloi Convinced.
In the loth chapter the Savior dies;
and the Roman centurion declared.
"This was the Son of God." And In
the ltth chapter you find this man
Mark who teaches nothing about the
deity of Jesus according to my' critic
saying. "So then, after the Lord had
spoken unto them, he was received up
Into heaven: and sat on the rlaht hand
of God; and they went forth and
preached everywhere, the Lord work
ing with them." Mark does not teach
the deity of Jesus? Why he teaches
It In every chapter! Will you tell me
what he does teach. If he does lot
teach the deity of Jesus Christ? There
he stands, this Master of mine. In
Mark's great picture, as the Lord of
the winds, of the waves and of all
material things: the Lord of disease
and the Lord of death: the God who
forgives sin; and the God who a scenes
unto the right hand of Jehovah, and
yet Is still with the disciples as they
live and labor on the earth. If this
Is not the divine Son of God, give me
some name to call him by!
The second objection from this
brother runs thus: "If Christ were
God, more would have resulted from
his visit to the world: for very little
has come of It yet!" To the law and
the testimony again! The historian.
Lecky. In his "History of European
Morals," says: "The three short years
of the active life of Jesus have done
more to regenerate and to soften man
kind, than all tha disquisitions of all
the philosophers and all the exhorta
tions of all the moralists." Think of
It! All the philosophers and all the
moralists of all the ages shall do their
work, and put it all together and Jesus
Christ shall eclipse all they have done!
And yet a man had the effrontery to
say little has come of It.
Great Character Show a.
Simpson says there are two ways
of Judging a life, namely, the dignity
of the character possessed; and sec
ondly, by the range of the Influence
exerted. O, my Lord Christ, let me
measure thee thus! The dignity of the
character. Who will stand alongside
him, that I may see how tall he Is?
Will Moses? But Moses says, "A great
er than I Is coming." Will David, or
Isaiah, or Peter, or John, or Paul? Who
will stand alongside Christ In point
of character? Or who Is there that
can stand alongside Christ and be
found equal In moral grandeur? O, it
Is a moral Indecency, as well as an
Intellectual Inaccuracy, to name Christ
In a list with names of any others
who have ever lived. And in range
of Influence! May I Judge him by that?
Then I call the great thinker of Ger
many, and hear him say, "The holiest
anions the mighty" and the number of
the mighty Is leirlon "and the mighti
est among the holy" and multitudinous
are the holy, "the holiest among the
mighty, and mightiest among the holy,'
Is Jesus, who with his nail-pierced
hand has wrenched the gates of empire
off their hinges and who still governs
the world."
Only little has come of it, said the
critic! Well here they stand. Andrew
and Peter and Philip and Nathaniel
and Thomas and James and John and
the holy band of the Apostles, and I
say unto them, - "Little has come of
Christ's life!" But what is the matter
with the men! For suddenly they
are caught up as in a gale of holy
emotion, and with eyes aflama and
countenancea tense with strong feel
ing, they say; "Little, you say; why
much has come of It!" And Paul the
Apostle to the Gentiles appears. Tha
man who formerly was a persecutor,
but who on the Damascus Road said
"Who art thou?" And Jesus aid. "I
am Jesus whom thou persecutest!" And
Saul answered, "What wilt thou have
me to do. Lord?"- And the Lord told
him. and then Paul went out to look
on all the prizes of the whole world
and declared they were dung, compared
with the service of Christ. And look
ing at position and advantage of every
Kind, he said, "I am determined to
know nothing save Christ and him
crucified." And whether he approaches
Rome, or Corinth, or Ephesus, the same
cry Is ever on his lip, the cry in which
the Christ Is supreme.
Christ! I am Christ's, and 1st the name suf
fice you.
As for me. too. It always hath sufficed.
So with no winning- words would 1 entlcs
you,
Paul has no honor, and no friend but Christ.
Yea. without cbeer of sister or of daughter;
Tea without stay of father or of son;
Lone on the land, and homeless on tha
water.
Pass I in patience till the work 'Is dona.
Then there were the early Christians.
The Christiana -whom Nero in his am
phitheater, at night, placed In barrels
of tar; and setting them on Are, by the
light of those human torches pursued
his wild Iniquities. And there they
hung, and blazed, and died. But there
was little In that! And century after
century went by, and always the great
beacon lights of faith were biasing; and
always the saintly chorus ascended the
heavens; and always by the thousand,
heroic men and gentle women testified
even to the shedding of blood, that
Jesus Christ was their Lord and their
God. But there was little in it! And
out of those dark ages, as we call them,
comes a great volley of sound, that
prefigures the song of the redeemed,
and by the million the saints of God,
who believed in Jesus Christ, rally
round old Bernard as he sings:
Jesus, the very thought of thee
With sweetness nils tha breast;
But sweter far thy face to see.
And in thy presence rest.
Jesus, our only Joy bo thou.
As thou our prise wilt be;
Jeuus, bo thou our glory now.
And through eternity.
And but little has come of it sayest
thou, my friend?
Why he came, my Lord Christ, and
he so changed time that there Is not a
calendar on the American continent
1 this morning but dates from the year
of his birth. Our children gathered
around the tables a few weeks ago, and
their little eyes glistened as they saw
the twinkling lights of the Christmas
tree. But they had no Christmas tree
12 months before Jesus was born!
"Preach." said somebody to me last
week, "preach on Easter Sunday about
the resurrection of Jesus." But there
la no Easter where there is no Christ.
And not only so. but he entered Into the
realm of art, also, and if you destroy
the pictures in the great galleries that
have Christ enshrined in them, you will
destroy the best part of that art In
which the 20th century rejoices. And he
entered Into music, and the great ora
torios throb ' and thunder around his
stable, his cross, and his throne. And
he entered into literature, and the
books that mention Jesus Christ are
numbered by the million. He entered
Into poetry, and Shakespeare and the
Brownings and the Tennysons tell of
the Son of man.
Hrsnna Show Iaaplratloau
And he entered Into the hymnology
of the church, and you can find no
name in the world so enshrined in
hymnsas is the name of Christ. And
he entered into the Bible, and there are
more copies of It issued today than
any other book In the world; and it
Is all about Christ. He walks into the
nursery, where the little children are
being made ready for bed, and through
the lips of Christian mothers he teaches
the first prayer. And he walks Into
the cemeteries, so that on the marble
you have to read. "Come unto me and
1 will give you rest; of such is the
kingdom of heaven; In my Father's
house are many mansions." And every
single word of those epitaphs was
spoken by my Lord Christ. He stands
In the death chamber by the side of
the soul departing:, as the Christian
friend reads: "1 go to prepare a place
for you" the language of the Christ;
and "when the body is brought into the
church, the preacher rises and says,
"O. death where is thy sting? O,
grave, where is thy victory? Thanks
be to God who glveth us victory
through our Lord Jesus Christ." And
the hope of all the weary wjorld Is tha
glorious appearing of the true God,
and our Saviour. Jesus Christ. But
little has come of it!
Own Conversions Recalled.
O. I thought this morning how in the
days of the past five of us sat around
the table In my little English home.
How there Is one left here; and one
over there in Canada. And the brother
I idolized, went Into the eternities with
his hand in the hand of Christ; and
the father ever looming grandly in
my Imagination was singing of the
Christ, as he passed over Jordan; and
the old mother, believing in the same
Jesus, entered the kingdom. Maybe
there is nothing in it! And maybe
there has little come from it! But they
did not think so: nor do I.
For I am growing more and more
to love a sentence in that book that
says. "Ye are my witnesses." And that
la what I am. a witness. You say little
has come of it. Well, on a June night
long years ago, I, for the first timu,
heard him say to me, "I am thy Sav
iour;" and I believed him. And my
people, this morning I tried, in thought,
to cut from my life all that has been
imparted by Jesus Christ, during these
25 years since I was converted. O how
he blessed my life, and dominated it,
and possessed it. And I look at this
life of mine swiftly moving toward
eternity, and what have I apart from
Christ? For whenever the moment
comes when I hear the friends say, "He
Is going," I shall reach out my hand
for the hand that has got the scar In
it, and I shall go to whatever future
awaits me, in humble sincere trust in
Jesus Christ, my Saviour, and my Lord,
and my exceeding great reward.
