Quite the latest teacloth shows a
plain rather than a lace border. With

tion, the center of the cloth having a
hand embroidered design. The linen
is hand woven in the more expensive
cloths.
Another has a heraldic design of
lions, in a heavy stitch, contrasting
with fine hand-drawn work.
The usual size of these fine cloths is
a yard and a quarter. The best work
ers are put on them, and the satiny ef
fect of the embroidery on some, 6uch
as a shamrock, "thistle and rose raised
design, is produced by the merceriz
ing of the embroidery. The simple de
signs are as perfectly worked and cost
much less, according to the Indianapo
lis News.
Lovely bits of cluny and insets of
creamy filet work wer seen on an
other kind of table linen. There were
much more elatiorate designs, applied
to deep, ivory toned teacloths, round
table covers and cushion covers. They
are somewhat wanting in neatness
and simplicity for good taste, but
there is a demand for them.
FOR THE LINEN
READING LESSOI -' f . -
Heb. 11:20-22. i JK. A
GOLDEN TEXT "This L -ne victory
that hath overcome the world, even our
faith." IJohn 5:4. " . '
. The reading lessons for today are a
New Testament commentary upon the
past quarter's work. The first lesson
is taken from that marvelous defensor
ot Stephen the first martyr. As he
traces the history of the people of
Israel, he shows God's continued ac
tivities and purpdses from the hour he '
called Abraham until the holy one of
Israel came to fill to their fulness all
of these same activities and purposes.
Stephen also shows us that alongside
God's activities was the equally per
sistent disobedienae of the people
which culminated In the betrayal arid
murder of that holy one. In the por
tion selected he sets before us how
Joseph is sold into Egypt, yet God was
with him and delivered him; how the
famine came and Jacob is thereby
brought into Egypt only later to. be
carried back into the land of promise.
Teach Faith.
The second lesson is taken from
that great catalogue of heroes as re
corded in the Epistle to the Hebrews.
Here we have set before us the fact
that God's eternal purpose with man
is ever that of faith. Isaac, Jacob
and Joseph are here mentioned and
the faith of each set before us.
. Leaving out the Easter lesson we
have covered a period of about 50
years, eight lessons dealing with Jo
seph, and four with Jacob.
Attention has been called to Jo
seph as one of the most remarkable
types of Christ to be found in the Old
Testament (see comments on lesson
of April 27). As we have also sug
gested Jacob is not so grand a char
acter as Abraham yet is much more.
like the average man.
It is interesting to go over these
lessons and follow God's purposes and
to observe how like Christ Joseph was..
In LESSON I. we behold Jacob at the
instigation of his mother deceiving his
poor old father and being compelled
to fly that he might save his life. Re
bekah thought she could execute God's
purposes; but it is never right to da
evil that good may result.

LESSON VII. shows us God's con

the .fulfil lment of his word that the
descendants of Abraham were to.,

LESSON VIII. is a continuation or
Joseph's dealings with his brothers in.

still further pricked and God reveals,
to us his immutable purpose.
LESSON DC is a tender one of the
meeting of Joseph and Benjamin whilo
at the same time it suggests to us the
certainty of the fact that we may "be
sure your sin will find you out." Un-.

sin is mercilessly upon our track:
