CURIOUS PICTURES Finger Nail Photographs Consid ered Correct in London. ARE USED IN SMART SOCIETY j Sermons of 1 Yesterday Yet man :i nude fur (!od, is this kinship that make- us incii. Rev. V. S. Grim, pastor of the First Methodist church, preached yeteday morning, upon the text: 'Tic Shall Not Fail," Isaiah, 42 4. Saying in part: "I wouder why there are so many . mistakes in Scripture! Is it that God has made mistakes in putting word into the mouths of prophets, or have these men wnwilv written what He fate? Oh, no! God has not made any mistake. Yet he has said, 'He Shall lfot Fail.' But we have all failed and miserably. 'AH have sinned, and come short of the (.'lory of God.' One has undertaken to be an arti-t who should have been a mechanic, and has tried to add beauty where God meant he should ive strength, and has been a failure. "Xow and then we see a man whom ire call a genius. What is he! Only a man who has found his place in the world; and we all might be such if we but find our real life work. Then some have failed because they have become soured on the world. They have loked into the glass and seen their own warped souls and have thought the world out of joint. j "Everywhere the fields and woods are carpeted with flowers full of honey; the bees know it and sip the nectar to store away for i winter: rinough for themselves and for mankind, too. ' "AH about us we may see in human souls the reflection of the divine beauties, and hear strains of heavenly music, and find some honey of kindness and love. And these soured souU have Liiled.

Then .nine have failed on the other -iile of the law as stated by l'liri-t, hue thy neighbor as thyself.' How many have failed as neighbor! Some great men have succeeded but to fail at the last. N'apoleon wished for Louis' scepter that he might show how to hold it firmly. He lived to sway it with power but in his island prison he grasp ed in vain for that scepter for it had vanished. F.ven some who have done most to lift the world to better things have failed somewhat. "Who, then, is meant in the text! Wherv is he who has not failed! I need not answer, it is the Christ. "Hut had he not all the burdens and trials Mich as we have? Yes, and added to them he lore the burden of our sins. Yet he did not fail. He conquered even in his death. The ero-s of his over throw has become the emblem of his victory and of ours. With that cros he hammered down the walls of death and builtled for us the hall of life. But we see not yet all things put under him.' No, but since he has not failed in anything that he ha done ive have faith in the words God gave to the pnmhet 'He shall cot fail' "He shall not fail in us, but will bring the divine life into our souls and make us 'more than conquerors.'

"It is quite a simple method to secure linger nail photograph," said a well known photographer this week. "It is best done bv what is known as the car bon process. "A photograph of the subject U first made in the ordinary way, and rvduced to a size suitable for the finger nail. A print is then made from the iiegn live on carbon paper, which is made in substantially every color. "After the print has been fixed and toned it is transferred to what is known as transter paper. .-U tins stage the linger nail must lie rublnd with pumice powder, to render it quite -niooth. Then the wet transfer paper i placed with the photograph on the linger nail. When dry, the transfer paper is stripped olT and a finished photograph is left on the finger nail. "Finally, a thin coat of tran-pnrrnt enamel is brushed over5 the photograph, rendering it perfectly safe to wah the hand without damaging the picture. "On the average person the photo graphed is partially destroyed by the cutting away of the nail in about three weeks."
