Fifth avenue- has al ready capitulated and Danio Fashion has bowed her head beneath the yoko, ' of the' Orient. It's a lovely yoke, though all hand-embroidered with threads of gold 'and gorgeous silks, so you may well rejoice at this utter sur render to mode a la Chink. Possibly there is not a garment for the spring that does not show some Chinese tendency. Somotimos it is a lavish use of Chinese embroidery, and again it is merely the cut of a coat a la. mandarin or Satsuma button or two. Of course, you have been wear ing ono of these marvelously embroid ered coats' as an evening wrap for some time, but the now three-quarter coats that the smart shops are all showing aro Chinese in shape only and in ma terial simply dull shados of crepe broche, with an edging of self-toned ball fringe. In fact, they aro nearly an occidental version of an oriental original. If your sartorial income is limited, get one of these coats by all means. They aro good always and all ways. Thoir lovely drapery is equally adapt able to an afternoon gown, on evening Tobo or over tho filmy lace of your "warm weather lingerie frock. From coat to Blurt is but a short step. And, praise be, we will be through I -with short steps altogether if tho Chi- ncse skirt is as great a hit as it prom ises to be. It is cut on exactly the same 'graceful lines as the vivid-em-broidorcd affairs affected by the little yellow ladies across the China soa. As worn by Miss Now York or Mile.

With tho panols back and front and tho pleat ed fullness between, you c"an take a good long stride without a stumble. Puddles can bo crossed with impunity, and street cars can be boarded without the combined aid of the conductor and tho traffic squad.

Waist lines seem seized with the most reckless cases of wanderlust this season. You may find them skidding giddily from just below tho bust down to tho hip line, with stopoffs at the normal and semi-empire zonos.

Then, too, as is always the case in these freak fashions, it is being cheapened by too constant repeti tion. The very short empire waist is still the most artistic for evening gowns, it scorns, according to Paris models, but for street and afternoon wear, the pref erences are for normal or slightly raised waist linos, Some few of the newest bodices show a long pointed waist, like the old-fashioned basquo so 'take your choice.

THE HINDRANCE OF CREEDS Turning From the Creeds to the Bible Means a Return to Reasoning A Re fusal of Human Ipse Dixit Great er and Lesser Sins Punishments Proportionate The Sins Which God Styles Scarlet, Men Often Consider Merely White Lies The Scarlet Sine Theology Condemns Often Less Im portant With God. Richmond, Va., April 0.-Blble stu dents of all do-, nominations were deeply interested in Pastor Russell's visit today. A se ries of special Bi ble lectures has been in progress for some months; and I'astor Rus sell has been brought hero, evi dently for cllrnnc- teris results, nis two topics were, "BEYOND THE GRAVE," nnd "SCARLET SINS." We report the lat ter from the text, "Come now, nnd let us reason together, snltli tho Lord: though your sins be as scarlet tlioy shall be as white as snow." Isn. 1:18. Although thoroughly loyal to tho Bi ble uud very reverential, the Pastor has evidently cut loose from tho creeds uf nil tho churches. lie admitted that they nil contain kernels of Truth, but declared that the truths are burled In a muss of chaff, and worse, are hidden in (oddlshonorlng theologies so vio lently unreasonable that their best friends and. supporters are ashamed of them nnd prefer never to think of them. The I'astor claimed that the repul slveiiess of the creedul rubbish heaps binders people from looking for the grains of Truth which they contain. And this Is well, he said. Why should we. trouble and disgust . ourselves to search for the grains which the vari ous creeds contain, whllo we have In the Bible a whole garner full of Truth, clean and pure? lie urged all Chris tian people to abandon their creeds and to come together as Bible Btudents, In tent only on knowing the testimony of God's Word and obtaining tho guid ance of Ills Holy Spirit In the under standing of It. So doing, be declared, all true Christians would soon be so uulted In heart and spirit that outward forms of federation would be useless and as absolutely Ignored as In the days of Jesus and the Apostles. Jesus held. up to ridicule and scorn the Inconsistencies of Ills day. If He were here today, ne would similarly show us many Inconsistencies in our estimation of sin and righteousness, the Pastor believed. Jesus ridiculed the religious leaders of Ills time when He pointed out their ' caref ulness to give a tithe of thoir Increase, even to the smallest of seeds, and their showy re ligious performances to be seen of men. Our Lord declared that while so do ing, they practised the grentest out rages against the very spirit of God's Law of righteousness; that In mean ways they took the bread from the poor, the orphan, the widow, nnd to divert attention from their course, they hypocritically lengthened their pray ers. It was not that praying was wrong, or that tithing was objection able, but that their recognition of theso showed them to be all the more responsible In their gross violations, In "devouring widows' houses," and other sharp practices whereby they took advantage of those within their power through adversity or otherwise. This principle still operates, said Pastor Russell. Tho same sins Ho at the door of many professing godliness and holding church membership. To day, as In our Master's time, there Is a way of keeping within the limits of the law, a way of keeping out of the penitentiary, while at the same time the spirit of the law Is outraged and trampled In the dust of avaricious money-getting. And now, as then, these money-lovers often pose as phi lanthropists, nnd hold high places of honor and churchlanlty. The Taster spared not this rlnss. lie declared re ligious hypocrites the worst of sinners In the sight of Heaven. Of all sins theirs were the most scarlet la God's sight he believed. Greater and Lesser Sins, Today wen It h covers a multitude of sins. To be financially unsuccessful Is a crime, on account of whic h many will consider that a wife Is Justified In breaking the obligation of her marriage vow and seeking a divorce n crime on account of which some churches would feel Justified In rejecting the culprit as undesirable and striking his tin me from the list of memtM'rs w lint unit ters It that Jesus addressed mime of His most comforting words to the weary and henvy-lndcn and unsuccps' fill?

It is the same amongst Catholics as amongst Protestants. Ho long as the tinner remains a member of the church, almost every crime can be ab- m (PASTOR. RllSSELLl lolred.

Sins Scarlet and Crimson. The Prophet lsaiitli discriminates be tween scnrlet, a bright red, and crim son, a deeper red. as liiiliaiiing shades uf guilt In the same kind of sin. Eor Instance, murder would lie u scarlet sin, if committed by n worldly person; but 'Mitred would be a crimson stain a sin it deeper dye--If cherished by tho ?hlld of God. As love would bo the fulfilling of the Divine Law, so hatred, which Is tho most violent form of self ishness, implies its flagrant violation. The Ten Commandments mention cov itousness of our neighbor's posses sions nnd happiness, theft of bis prop erty or good name or influence, and murder, the taking of bis life, as the culmination of selfish disregard for his rights. In olden times, when chemis try was less appreciated, less under stood, scarlet nnd crimson dyes were estimated the most durable, the most difficult to remove; hence In our text these are used to symbolize sins of .greater selfishness and depravity. All mauklud bnve inherited sin tainted blood from Father Adam. Self ishness of varying hues Is found In ev ery member of our race. One difficulty with many is that they do not have tho proper focus upon the Divine Law. They know that any transgression of God's Law Is sin. Taking the letter of that Lnw they try to avoid the cruder forms of theft, adultery, mur der. This Is the samo mistake that the Jews made. It was Jesus, tho grent Teener, who gave the clearer conception of the spir it of tho Law. According to Ills In terpretation, theft could bo committed In tho heart, by coveting In a most desperate way, by stealing the good name or the business or the reputation or tho trade-mark of another. Simi larly, nccordlng to Jeaus, the crime of adultery might In God's sight be com mitted without the overt act Jesus declared, "Whosoever lookcth on a woman to lust after her hath commit ted adultery with her already, In his heart" If he lacked merely the oppor-tunlty.-Mnttbew 6:28. Whoever accepts these definitions In telligently realizes that tho world's In crease of knowledge hns brought in erense of responsibilities; nnd that If open crimes today were much less fre quent than formerly, the responsibility of today .would still be greater tlinn formerly, But this Is not so. Every thing Indicates to us that bumnu self ishness has kept pace with the Increase of knpwledge. The thievish spirit abounds everywhere, not only amongst the poor, but also amongst the wealthy. Not all of the vast fortunes of our day were honestly obtained, o far as we may be able to Judge. ' And although there are noble rich men. It Is, alasl too evident that the love of money, a root of ull evil, has made thieves and robbers of some In high stations. The civilized world needs to awaken Its conscience to tho high Ideals of the Master the Golden ftulo, which does to a neighbor as It would that the neighbor would do to him if the condi tions were reversed, it . cems not pos sible for human law to reach such cases. Those who canuot be Influenc ed by the Scriptures must wait for tbelr lessons and chastisements till the New Age of Messiah's Kingdom. The vice crusnders have recently been telling us that millions of dollars are spent In New York City nloue ev ery yenr In the white slave trafllc. What au awful picture of Intrenched sin! When wo read such reports and remember our Master's definition of adultery, we stand appalled! That the great Western Metropolis, nevertheless, presents a fair outward appearance w4ilch belles such a condition of heart Is a matter for congratulation! All pure-mlnde'd people should be glad that, if sin ennnot be fully stamped out It can at least be kept to some extent un der cover! The stench of the public, reports Is something terrible! Tho murders of the past year are terribly significant. But If we take the viewpoint of the grent Teacher nnd consider that all who entertain murderous thoughts are really murder ers In God's sliiht we feci constrain ed to ask, "How does God regard the conditions now prevailing In the world? They ore not only worse tbon at any previous tlmo, but still more evil because of our increased light our Increased realization of the principles of Justice. It would not seem to bo putting tho matter too strongly to sny that from tho Divine standpoint the world Is practically full of thieves, li centious persons nnd murderers. Sins Made White at Snow, What magic power Is this thnt could transform a sinful heart and course of life Into a pure one? "Education will do It" says the Professor. But no! Many college-bred men ore as sinful as others. "Joining the ministry or the priesthood will do It" says another Hut no! Proofs are abundant that sin may bo found In the monastery nnd the pulpit as well ns In the pew and In the ordinary walks of llfg t)nr test declnri'M God's reasonable ness, nnd Indicates that He has made It possible for Hie sinner to escape from his sins. The Prophet does not tell the process liy which Divine Jus tire will clear the guilty. But tho New Testament gives the explanation. Christ has died, the Just for the un just. Human sin. the penalty of which Is dentil, the great Redeemer Is prepared to cancel for all those who forsake sin, become pupils In Ills School and are taught of (Sod At the present time God's mercy In tho forgiveness of sin Is exercised to ward those only who hear of His re deeming Lore, and are moved to fnlth. repentance and reformation. Nor la this enough at the present tlmo. God's :nll of this Gospel Age is for those who uot only desire to resist sin and to escape from slavery to it, but who, being made free, will enlist with all their powers to oppose sin. under the leadership of Josus-umlcr the banner jf the cross. To these comes the ns mrunce of passing from sin to right eousness, from death to life, through the Redeemer. For these, all the back charges of condemnation to death on account of sin aro sot aside. A new page of tho ledger of God is opened fur them. Thenceforth the record of their past Is cnuceled through the blood of Christ. Their sins of searlet are removed. Their hearts, figuratively speaking, are as white as snow. They are pure in heart, although they have the treasure of this new heurt In an imperfect body. The imperfections of their flosb. ever present, will seek to assert themselves; but they ns New Creatures and sons of God through Christ are to resist these steadfastly. "Unspotted From the World." Do you tell me that I am setting too high a standard, and that the millions who read my sermons weekly will be discouraged Instead of being helped? I answer that one with Cod is" a majority; and that the Scriptures call upon me to "Cry uloud and spare not; show My pcoplo their sins!" There aro approximately four hundred mlllons of nominal Christians In the world; yet nowhere on earth are theso sins to be found in so rank a development, of so deep a crimson, as amongst the pro fessed followers of Christ. God knows, tho Bible declares, that none can do perfectly. But is this nn excuse for any of us? Should we not do the best Unit we can to approximate the Divine standard In our actions, words and thoughts? Idiot ice enn do Is what God requires of us. All the remainder, ns we have seen, hns been fully provided for in the Savior, and the mercy and forgiveness which lie can properly bestow upon the willing and obedient of heart, whose shortcomings are merely thoRe of ueredltary weak ness nnd unfuvorublo environment it Is the purity o heart, of intention, of will, thnt constitutes salntshlp from the Divine standpoint and not actual perfection; for, as we read', "There is none righteous, no, not one." Romans 3:10. It is a part of my duty, dear hearers, as a minister of God, to Bpenk Ills Word, to awaken the consciences of all those with whom 1 have any Influ ence. It Is my duty to lift high the Royal Standnrd of perfectloD, that nil may see as In a mirror their own shortcomings, and that, seeing theso. they may flee to the Master and lay hold upon the grace of t5od provided for all In Him. Tho Apostlo speaks of the Church class ns keeping them selves unspotted from the world. From what we hove seen, dear friends, tho term "world" Includes nenrly everybody claiming to be a Christian. The real Christiana are few and far between. But I bold that many more would be renl Christians If the Truth were prop erly presented to .their minds. In stead, millions come under the delu sion thnt they are Christians, when they have not taken even tho first step of repentance und reformation. And of thoso who have repented and re formed, comparatively few have taken tho next step necessary to their Induc tion Into the family of God. The sec ond step Is the acceptance of the merit of Christ's sacrifice as that which atones for their sins. 'More than thin, to attain the full blessed privileges of the "Body of Christ, which Is the Church" of the "First-borns" (Epbe slans 1:22, 23: Hebrews 12:23), It Is necessary to make a full consecration of heart and life, tlmo and talent In fluence, everything, to the Lord tobe Ills footstep followers. This In the only call of this Gospel Ago. Only those who hear It ftrffl ac cept It enter Into present opportunities and full privileges of soiiMiip. Only these have opportunity of becoming members of the Itoyal Priesthood of glory, member of "the Bride, the Lamb's Wife." Hut others, as wo have seen, hove a measure of responsibility for their conduct, even If they do not come to Christ: and each will receive stripes In proportion as he has done wrong, or blessings In proportion as be has given even a cup of cold water to one of the Lord'a faithful saints. It Will Be Different By and By. After the elect class of this Age shall hove been ierfected In the First Resurrection, Messiah's Kingdom will lie set up. For this wo pray, "Thy Kingdom come: Thy will be done on earth, even nn It Is dono In Heaven." Then ninttern will be different. No longer will It be possible for men to profit by wrongdoing, and no longer will any suffer for right doing. Then every doer of righteousness will have n blessing, tin uplifting, a strengthen ing. And every one following sin, un righteousness, We nre assured, will have stripes, punishments, Inieinled to correct his wrong course and point hlin to the rlirht wny. The Lord llgunitlvely points to Unit New Era and explains the ftui nu thnt will then eoiNx. Having In ri'spcct in nil who desire to b In harmony with Film, "I will take sway the stony heart (selfishness out of your flesh, nnd will give you n heart of flesh" kind, sympathetic, loving. (Ezeklcl .'(l:2."27l This work will progress amongst men during the thoiisnnd years of Messiah's Kingdom, The. if rami result will he that nil lovers of sin and unrighteousness will eventual ly bo destroyed In the Second Death as natural brute beasts (2 Peter 2:12i, and nil the willing and obedient will he lifted up from the Imperfections and llemlhe of heredity, and again become Images of God In the flmh. Rosedalo News. Tho rain effectually stopped outdoor work for several days, but everybody is making up for lost time. So far thero is every indication of a heavy prmio crop. A horso driven bv Mrs. Albert Hates took fright at ono of the " noiso-nmk-ers" (motorcycles) last Sunday ami became uiimnmigciiblo for a time. Mrs. Clinton Hates, who, with her baby boy and little niece, was with Mrs. ISntos, was completely unnerved, and was car ried unconscious into a neighbor's house. Wo aro glad to say that she has fully recovered. Right horo it might not como amiss to ask tho gentlemen of tho motorcycle scpiad to use a little more common sense when they aro taking in tho coun try. It is really littlo short of a mir acle that Bomoono lias not boon se riously hurt, for tho speed, tho supremo disregard of right of waj, and the ut ter selfishness exhibited by tho aver ago rider pnssing nervous teaniB, makes a fellow hold his broath with appro heusion, But really, what is tho use in asking gently for common, souse to be exhibited in this mnttor. Thoso rare few ones who keep thoir reason after tho spood-dovil outers into them, do not havo to bo asked, and tho others ought to have their licenses revoked, until they aro fit to bo at largo.
