COTTON THAT RESISTS FIRE
Matter Should Interest Every Mother,
Considering Danger to Lit
tle Ones.
A cheap method of making cotton
permanently as resistant to fire as Is
wool is being sought by Inventors
and makers of cotton garments. Cot
ton clothing can be made fireproof by
being dipped In a solution of am
monium phosphate, and dried. The
treatment has to be repeated after
every washing, but it is estimated
that this would add only 16 cents a
week to the laundry expenses of the
average family.
But apart from the fact that there
are thousands of families which can
not afford to spend even an additional
16 cents a week, the bother is too
aTeat and the risk from fire too re
mote to make the system practicable.
Efforts are being made in some quar
ters to Induce mothers to apply the
treatment to the clothing of young
children, but even the most ardent
“safety-first” advocates see the im-
poPHlbility of making the system uni-
versa! in the interests of tire and burn
prevention.

01 as the Revised
Version reads,
'made perfect.”
^he verse preced-
speaks of the
lesurrection of
the dead, so that
his disavowal evi
dently has to do
with the perfec
tion which will come in the future,
may seem to soma unnecessary that
a man should disavow this final per
fection since he is evidently not yet
raised from the dead; but the human
mind is capable of very strange things,
and this same apostle Paul speaks of
some in bis day who taught that the
resurrection is past already. On
some sfich basis, it seems, that teach
ers arose who declared that even now
we may reach the perfection which be
longs to the resurrection state The
apostle is clearly against such a doc
trine.
Bishop Moule, one of the most saint
ly men the modern church has pro
duced, in commenting upon this pas
sage says; "As far as my own obser
vation goes, such views (1. e. of per
fection) are not uncommonly attended,
in those who hold them, by a certain
oblivion to personal shortcomings and
inconsistencies; by an obscuration of
consciousnesa, and of conscience,
more or less marked, towards the sin
fulness of ordinary, everyday viola
tions of the law of holiness In respect
of meekness, humbleness of mind, long
suffering, sympathy, and other quiet
graces.”
Indeed, the saints of all the ages
unite with Paul In declaring that they
are not already perfect. The apostle,
after suffering many things tor
Christ’s sake so that he bore in his
body the marks of the Lord Jesus,
writes of himself as “chief of sinners.”

TAUEHT LOVE ONLV Ult BUNDI
lesus Was Ever a Stranger to
Hate, as Should Be His
Followers.
Can religion subsist upon the husks
of hate after the grain of love has
been threshed out upon the floor of
class and racial prejudice? This Is
the great, looming question that is
showing its full proportions In these
days of rancor and of rage. The
litany of love runs through the New
Testament and finds its compelling
objectification in the cross-burdened
Stranger to. hate, as he travels the
way of devotion and of sacrifice. In
the supreme fact of the Christian re
ligion, the fact of Calvary, stands out
the answer to the great question of
today. It is not an optimistic answer,
for it sets forth as the principal fact
of human history that hate unceas
ingly challenges love. It parts the
garments of purity and of hope and
of holiness and of faith, and reduces
them to the tattered spoil of a gam
bler's throw of the dice Hate is the
hellish thing that sits at the loom of
the worker, that dribbles its malice
at the wheels and spindles of ente*-
prise. It is the devilish device by
which the wheels of society are run.
For love is ever under the cr' shlng
heels of hate. It Is never killed. It
ever arises anew. But the strength
of love as a motive force In society la
its startling revival in forms that
compel the admiration and that se
cure the devotion of great bodies of
mankind, and that even transform the
face of society Itself. *
Christ’s Teaching Plain.
Love is now in the Getbsemane
garden. Even many of its disciples,
those who stand in the pulpits, are
preaching the doctrine of class hatred.
They picture the woes of the worker
until they forget the One who bore
the burden of privation until he was
deprived of the holes of the fox and
the nests of the .T'rds. and had no
where to lay his heaJ. They forgot
that he entered upon the crena of hu
man living through a cattle smll, They
overlook the fact that he nevbi' en
tertained a social grievance. The/
neglect the great positive of his life,
never to pass by an opportunity to
do service. In the world ye shall have
tribulations, says be, and adds, Be of
good cheer, for I have overcome the
world. He has no patent of suprem
acy over the ills of lifj. He displayed
the source of the rejuvenating waters
of love that flow hard by the throne
of God. He pictured the state of
brotherhood that should not be se
cured by striving and by crying aloud
He pictured the ideals of life in the
light of a love-wrought soul. He de
picted the only way of true peace, and
even as he pictured it there fell
athwart that way the shadow of his
own cross, leading him to exclaim:
And if I be lifted up I shall diaw all
unto my^lf.

,DR. THOMAS E. GREEN. Successor to Dr
‘1. H. Greea'a Soas, Bei A Ckauworlfa, Ga.
The same spiVlt was manifested by
Charles Spurgeon, who said during the
serious illness, jjiat If he got well he
would have many things to preach,
but just at thatltlme four words were
enough for him,I “Jesus died for me."
Dr. A. J. GordoA was a man of such
saintly character that his very face
gave evidence o(j the indwelling light.
A servant girl -iyho met him at the
door one day tcud her mistress that
she did not know his name, but he
had the face of jan angel. Yet when
he came to his list hours, his expres
sions of unworthfnesB and of absolute
dependance uponithe mercy and grace
of God were so affecting, that bis fam
ily could not bes^r to remain In the
room. These men all agree in saying,
“Not as though I lliad already attained,
either were alrea(dy perfect."
But the other portion of our text
speaks of a sense in which we may
be perfect. The [context shows that
the apostle is usln^ the figure of a run
ner In a race. He has not yet at
tained the prize, Ibut forgetting the
things which are biehind and reaching
forth unto those wlhlch are before, he
presses toward tha mark. It is this
attitude to which the word “perfect"
is applied. The nWn has laid aside
the weights and [the easily besetting

has attained, but forgetting that which

finality. It onl>..a»iyire8 us to be
made perfect in the day of Christ's
coming. Nevertheless we are bound
by the grace of Chsist to fulfill this
ideal and not to put |him to shame.
Two matters are itivolved in the ex
hortation to be “thuB minded." First

pride; on the contrar
very essence. Again], if we are per
feet in the sense of 'sjhich the apostle
speaks, we will emulate him in
pressing forward for the prize of final
glory. This is the v 5ry opposite of
complacency as to our attainment. It
is said that Thorwalc sen once wept
because he was satlsflffid with a statue
_ 'here may be some other person
ality more potent than that of Jesus
Christ, some other teachings more
satisfying, some other life more in
wrought with the persuasives of love.
But until such has been revealed the
one supreme exponent of the teach
ings of love must be looked to as the
security of the tollers from those who
would exploit them in terms of exag
gerated suffering and discontent.
Material panaceas for the ills of
life there are many. There is but
one spiritual corollary to the condi
tions of human distress, and this is
God. Jesus Christ has the function
of illustrating by life and teachings
the possibilities of human reconstruc
tion and blessedness when the indi
vidual is brought into conformity
with the spiritual life of the Almighty.
Unfortunately, the war abroad is sow
ing myriad harvests of hate, and at Its
close the workers of those devastated
countries will be readily ranged in the
class of those who pour contempt
upon religion. Love is passing
through the valley of the shadow of
death, but the rod and staff of the
Almighty will sustain it. There can
be no religion to which love is lost,
and those pulpits that placard the
catchwords of schism and bate, of
classes and crusades, are perverters
of the pure doctrines of humanity and
enemies of the law of love. If a man
love not his brother, whom he hath
seen, how can he love God, whom he
hath not seen? This is a motto for
the so-styled capitalistic classes and
as positively for the so-styled working
classes.

Relief In the Lord.
Many a time we unburden our heart
by telling its trouble to some sympa

which to speak our woe. But he does
more than simply hear. He puts
strength In us to bear the burden un

by his promised spirit to the course
that will bring relief.—Selected.

Giving Thanks.
To “give thanks to him for al!
things” is, Indeed, a very difficult
duty: for It Includes giving thanks for
trl.als of all kinds; for suffering and
pain; for languor and weariness; for
the crossing of our wills-, for contra
diction; for reproaches: for loneli
ness; for privations. Yet they who
have learned submission will not find
It a hard duty; for they will so entirely
love all that God wills and appoints
that they will see it is the very best
thing for them. Hereafter they will
see all the links of the chain, and how
wonderfully even those have fitted,
which at the time seemed to have no
adaptation or agreement. This belief
enables them to praise him, and give
thanks now for each thing, assured
that as it has been sc it will be—that
the God of love will do all things well.
