VISITORS THRONG MEETING OFE. M. . Delegation of 87 From Springlield ~Thres From Scotland *To know the character of a man, you cannot take one day's experience out of his life, says Rev. John L. Davis yesterday morning when 690 men assembled at the session of Everyman's Bible class, There were more than 100 visitors including a delegation of 97 from Springfeld, four from Wallingford, F. A. Harrls, of Niantlc; L. Baker, of Glastonbury; R. A. Forrester, A. Westwood and James R, Forsythe of Bcotland; Clarence B. Cooley, of ‘East Longmeadow, Mass.; A. M. Bishop, of New Haven and M. L. Jones of Auro- ra, Scotland. There were 21 members of Phoenix Temple of Honor present. Rev. Mr, Davis took as his theme the story of David's sin, from the G1st psalm, He sald: “We do not judge any man by our standards who lived in that day but we have a perfect right to condemn anybody who did not live up to the standards of his day. David fell far below the stand- ard by sinning but he finally repented. To know the character of a man you cannot tuke one day's experience out of his life. You cannot take the worst day of a man's existence and say this is a picture of him. You have to know the fights and struggles of that man. When you know his daily life, you know the man, No- body can do this but God. Judge David by the same standard.. This is only one of the days of his life, the one that caused him great sorrow. “Three words describe sin. The first is iniquity, second trangressions and the third is sin. They have dif- ferent meanings. The first, iniquity means that which is twisted or bent, having a tendency for things that are wrong. “My nature is twisted in the mak- ing. I commit transgression or re- Lellion. Every one of us left to our- selves would go wrong. A bird will fly without any preparations. * A duck will go into water and swim as soon as it is hatched out. Give a man all he wants and everything he wants and he will fall from the plane of a man to the plane of a hog. We just won't go right. There is something wrong with us. Call it whatever you want, Leave a boy to himself. He doesn't want to get an education, “Of that twisted nature David said: ‘Behold, I was shapen in iniquity: and in sin did my mother conceive me.’ The word sin means to miss the mark. Whoever rebels against God is cers tainly going to miss the mark. A young man spends his time in sin when he could be a leading figure in business. He may go down to a drunkard's grave if he misses the mark. There's the fellow who spends his Sunday racing and gambling when he might be leading in society. He misses the mark. David said: T have a twisted nature and when I rebel against God I miss the mark. Go get something ‘and wash the stain out of my life. Blot it out’ said David. When he said ‘wash me' he did not have in mind the modern devices called washing machines. He had in mind the women who beat the clothes against the stones on the river bank such as they do in Tndia now. He sald, ‘Take me and beat me on a rock and dash me until all the sin is out of me'.” ‘““There is not a man in this town who would look God In the face. Where is the man who would say to God, ‘I am wrong, I have sinned. God take me and beat me and dash me until all the sin is out of me.’ Sup- posing you went bankrupt, something went wrong in your home, how long could you stand the beating. Tt is one thing to want purity, another thing to go through the process by| which it is obtained. There is only one cure for sin and that is God's cure. You cannot cure by resolutions.” T0 DARKEN HAIR APPLY SAGE TEA Yook Young! Bring Back Jts Natural Color, Gloss and Attractiveness. Common garden sage brewed into a heavy tea with sulphur added, will tugn gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and luxuriant, Just a few. applications will prove a revel- ation 'if your hair is fading, streaked or gray.

L I THE WRONG MOVE by Anna Robe- son Burr. PRINCESS’ TROUSSEAU HAS TWENTY-FOUR DUPLICATES Most of the Embroidery in Her Gown | ‘Was Done in Convents and Delicately Worked. Rome, April 9 (By the Associated Press)-—The greater part of Princess Yolanda's trousseau was collected long before her engagement was an- nounced. Following the custom or the old Itallan familles and traditions | of the House of Savoy she has made 24 duplicates of each garment, all tn| the finest handwork and most exqul- sitely trimmed. Much of the embroid- ery was done in convents and was delicately worked. Italy is one of the few countries of the modern world where hand made lace is still produced in great quanti- ties. Beautiful Venetian point Abruz- zi lace, filet and pillow lace are to be found in the princess’ trousseau as she said that not one stitch of her wedding outfit should come from any e¢ountry but her own beloved Italy. Her gloves have been made especial- 1y for her in Naples, while all her silkx | stockings are the work of Itallan hands. The young princess has been most | practical in chosing her trousseat. She went to a well known Roman jeweler and chose a string of pearls, but told him with great frankness that she could not possibly pay more than 50,000 lire for it.
