ACTION AND REACTION OP HEARTAND LIPS

"Ye offspring of vipers, .how can ye,being' evil, speak good things? for outof the abundance of the heartmouth speaketh." (Mat. 12:34.) Theheart is the mainspring of the body,and it was spoken of in ancient times,as it is now, as the source of emo-lons and of tile thoughts, words and

acts- which spring from the emotions.Whether it Is in reality anything moreban a pump, or not, is a matter of no

consequence; we all know what ismeant when one says that a man hasa good heart or a bad heart. Jesus al-ways used the forms of expression ofhe people about Him, because that

was the only way He could make Him-;elf understood.

"Out of the heart" Jesus said "comeorth evil thoughts, murders, adulter-es, fornications, thefts, • false witness,

railings: these are the things whichdefile the man." (Mat. 15:19, 20.) Onemight naturally reason that if thesehings come out.of the heart, they dp

not cause its defilement,-but only givevidence of Its defilement, but in factvery word or act, yes, and everybought or look, that springs from sinn the "heart confirms and strengthens

the evil tendency from which it origi-nated. A lustful look is not only a

In in itself, as Jesus taught (Mat.:28); it tends, to set_ on fire ; "the

wheel of nature." And a spoken wordas a more powerful influence on theharacter of the person who utters 'itban a mere look; although even, a

momentary look may bring on '^'well-temptation. (James 3:

The terrible truth Is that our heartsare so ready to open the door to temp-tation that U we let the Devil get somuch 'as his little finger in he'll-soonbo all In. '

• The great Chalmers engine, now featuring the cur-rent Chalmers car, arrived at a rare time in history.

With war on, and gasoline in use now as neverbefore, there has been one result evident probably to.,most every man that drives a car— the rapid decline inthe grade of gasoline.

Engineers neverexpecttpseeahigh-gradegasagain.In the face of this condition now comes the great

Chalmers engine, which makes high power out of low-grade gas.

It makes "one drop of gas now (lo the work of two/'It makes gasoline work as gasoline has never worked

The secret here is in what are known as "easy airbends."

The result is that at the time when the gas5 istouched off by the spark plug it is "cracked up" into aperfect vapor for 100 ?£ results.

This device in particular is one of the most notableachievements in automobile engineering in many years.

Not only do these improvements on the enginecreate more power out of less gas, but they also makepossible a quick starting engine on a cold day.

When you step on the starter button in a currentChalmers, you get results right off. And your enginebegins, to run with midsummer smoothness—no mis&ring cylinders—no spitting—no hesitating—no backfire.

So noteworthy is this great Chalmers engine thatone is tempted to overlook other notable improve-ments and perfections in the current Chalmers.

They are numberless, and once evident to the eyeof a wise buyer, they win him.

To miss seeing the current Chalmers at our show-rooms is. to miss the most recent and most talked-ofcar of the day.

DRESSING THEMINISTE FAMILY

HE minister's wife shiv-ered when she heard herhusband announce fromthe pulpit, on that No-vember Sunday morning,that there would be aa donation party at tne

parsonage on the following Thursdayevening. '• j

"I wonder what they'll bring thistime," she.thought:—"bast spring/theybrought beans. We'saw beans, thoughtbeans, and ate :beans for months, andthere's still enough on hand to- last anordinary lifetime. If ii should be beansthis time, Henry'll have to.quit theministry and go into the produce bus-iness," -. _ .

"What do you intend to take?" thedoctor's wife asked of,.,RJrs. DeaconJones, after service.

"I think I'll take clothing," answer-ed Mrs. Jones. "The • children look

. rather shabby, lately, seems to-me.-I don't know whether Mrs. Powers hasgumption enough to make over thingsas Mrs. Peters used to; but if we give•the clothes,an' she don't make gooduse of 'em 'taln't our fault"

"I guess I'll do the same," said the: doctor's wife.' "The" children haveoutgrown' some of their clothes, but

. they'll do for the minister's family."1

"Mebbe Mrs. Powers won't thank usfor our old clo'es," suggested little

. Mrs. Thorno.-"I-don't-bollove-I-would;—"She ought to bo thankful for what

ebe can get," said Mrs. Deacon Jones,severely. "Ministers' wives mustn'tbe too particular."

The minister of Stony < Creek hadheon considering the advisability ofmaking a change at tho end of thepastoral year. The fact was his con-gregation was, collectively, a stingyono. It Included men who could wellafford to pay liberally toward a pas-tor's 'support, but they had formedtho habit of contributing to tho sal-ary in a niggardly fashion, and theresult was that 'tho minister's fam-ily really suffered for tho necessitiesof life, at times, whllo ho was expect-ed to consider everything that wasgiven in tho light of an especial favor,and bo thankful that ho got as muchas ho did. It did not Boom to oc-cur to them that ho earned more thanho received. They had boon broughtup to think religion as being "free."It was only by tl^'exorclso of themost rigid ocotrofny that both endscould bo madx/to moot, at tho minis-ter's liOAuM. It wan vory dlscourag-lnt.''f(/r him; but ho was carncut In

'"his work, nnd willing to make iiacrl-flcca for tho ponnlblo good that mightgrow out of. his mlnlHtry among thoU|,ony Croak pooplo. Ills wlfo often gotout of piUlenco with him for not ro-Hontlng the treatment hu rocolvod attho hands of tho church, and being9110 of tho outspoken Kind, nho nnldexactly what uho t lmunht, and mild Itvery forcibly, noinollmeu,

"Thoy ought to lio told Iho plaintruth nhont tholr mrunminn," nho do-clurod. "If I proiichoil to thoni, V'liiny nomethlng, ov«n If It did mnkotlmm mud, You work hard for tlio mil-ury thoy'ro nuppoHod to pny you , , and!It ought to ho paid In ciutli, Thn Idouof paying n good nhnro of It in H l i i f Tthat w« don't mind, or waul , J i int lio-ciumo thny wui't got rid of II forinonoyl H'n n nhnino, and Ihoy o u g h t ,to ho fold that, wo connldor It nn. I'dnot my foot down, If I could huvo myway about It, nnd tol l Ilium Hint 11wouldn't l invo nnothor doiinllon If t lmv 'proponed It, Wo nron't objorln ofclmrlty, If lhuy,di> t h i n k wnaro. I'roiuih(limn n nnrinoii, John, from tho loxlthat <ho liilniror In wor thy of bin him,and make It good and Hlroiig, Tlmy'ilrononl It, of cliurno, but whnt If theydo? Thoy need lo havo thn t ru th llroilat thorn Him hot nlint, oncn In u -whllo,"

"We'll wait and MOO how thin doiin-tlon parly tiirnn out," »ald tho mlnln-tor. "If It Inn't morn of it niiooonn than

the one last spring, we'll get out ofStony Creek when my year Is up."

"It's settled, then," saiol the min-ister's wife, with a laugh. "I mtgfitjust as well begin packing up, first aslast." *'*

The evening of the donation partycame. Mrs. Deacon Jones was rthefirst arrival. . She brought a big bun-dle of old garments.

"You'll flnd It real easy to make'em over,'''she said. "They'll do yourfamily just as well as new ones."

Presently Mrs. Doctor Wade -gppear-|ed upon the scene. She also broughtia good-sized bundle of miscellaneousclothing. . , '

"Some of the things are almost asgood as new." she said. "They won'tneed making over, I guess. If theyshould it won't require much work tofix them." -

Before long it seemed..as if.all ;'•old clothes of the. neighborhood werebeing unloaded on the ministerrs-fam-lly. There were garments of all sorts,and sizes, and colors, and some forevery member of it. Mrs. Powersfound it hard work to keep from ex-pressing her indignation as her atten-tion was- called-to dresses that-wouldlikely, be a "good fit" for her, andjackets ten years out of date "that hadreal good stuff in them" and hatswhose -merits were dwelt upon atgreat length, and only needed "theleast bit of change to be right instyle."

The Impulse came, more than once,to tell the donors of these articles,frankly, that she felt it an insult' to begiven that which they had no furtheruse- for,-nnd were only too glad to getrid of. But, for her husband's sake,she held her peace.

"I think we ought to move to thocity and open a second hand clothingstore," she said,' as they looked overthe miscellaneous . collection, aftertheir visitors were gone. "We've cer-tainly got stock enough to keep us Intrade for a year, at least. Tho Ideaof giving, us to understand that tholrcast-off thlnga are good enough forus! I consider It a downright imposi-tion.- Half tho stuff they brought isutterly 'Useless unless ono cared towork It up Into a rag carpet. I won-der what they'd say If I wore to an-nounce that I was going' to make acarpet out of It? They'd say I was'BhiricsB,' nnd wnstefu! for ono thing,after having rung tho pralnos of theirgifts In tho way most of them did."

Tho minister sot to work next dayon his sormon for Thanksgiving. "I'vechosen a rather peculiar text," hosold. "I don't know what I shall boable to make out of It. It's this; 'AndI say unto you, oven Solomon In allhis glory wan not nrrayod Hko one ofthoHO.' Of course, tho contra! IdeaIn to bo that bountiful character IHpreferable to a king's raiment. I thinkI'll ho able to muko my sermon IU It."

An Idea that Boomed akin lo an Inuplratlon fliinhod acroun Mrs. 1'oworn'brain, but nho nnld nothing to hor IIUH-Imiid about It. At lutorvnls, liowovorall tha t , day nnd tho iioxt, Hho hnd

And the children worospectacles fit to provoke the laughterof the gods, arrayed as thoy wore ingarments that represented half thefamilies of tho congregation. Somoworo too small, and some woro toolargo. No two of them harmonized Instylo or color. The general effect washighly dramatic an tho words of thominister's toxt still rang In the earnof those who looked on tho processionmaking Its way up tho aisle. Thoyoung people tittered audibly.

THE AItT OF AlUUJfGDfOFUB1VITUBE

In the art of arranging a home f jIn a bense, It Is.an art, the placing'3the furniture has as much to do vrltiIts homelike feeling as the tiurnlturlland decorative accessories themselves!Indeed, no abode ' can! be a succeJwithout this homelike quality and yehow often we do enter a house tha<althouglr niled with, beautiful turnture, yet it lacks this o_ne_jthat makes a house a homel

In tho more pretentious interior oth)s kind, when only "period" has beeconsidered rather than.the personalIty of the owner, the effect Is that ca very finely, appointed hotel rathethan a home. • -\,.._.,,

Often, however, to give suchTa Vowia "lived-in" feeling all that is.n'eediIs to have the furniture rearrange*push here and a. "turning aroundthere will work wonders. .

Take, for instance, a living-room. Iithis, as in the library, one of the inosiImportant pieces-of furniture ia'a'tabi!of generous proportions, preferably .long, oblong table, on which bookand magazines can be placed and'tloaup to U, nt either end and by thside, comfortable-chajrs which Invltone to sit down and re^td. '

Such a table Is often sefln-staaaieither alone In tho center of the r*wn-chalr with Its back turned ».ward It. Such nn arrangement. It wl,be seen. Is forbidding and wrong, fo1

It destroys the relations that. tWtable has to tho chair and to the otholpieces of furniture In tho room.

On .tho other haqd aI have lust described anil knowZas a "refectory" table, because IIhas boon copied from tho oak table!

halls of tho monasteries In oldetimes, throughout England, is wd.placed nt a. reasonable distance frontho fireplace and close up agalnatlong Davenport or sofa, whtch ''tho flro and which should bo ap_,.,vImntoly tho same length as tho tabu!

About this table clmlrn can bjplaced and in tho Davenport at leasfthrco people can alt comfortably anlenjoy tho flro. and If they desire, car!,road with caso by tho lamp, whlcl|Hhoiild bo placed' in tho center of thtltable and BO shine down.upon thflprinted pages of tholr books or panorulLA pair of lamps—exactly tho sinno;|lalso look woll, one lamp at either cnd|of tho tablo and of equal convenience iA pair of book ends can also bfSadded to tho table's decoration nndtilwhon Inmpn aro unod at either end, ellblotter pad and writing paraphernalia.i|

Why Not a Humidor!A,humidor cabinet'makes a splendid

addition to a man's den. It Is Just largo/enough to allp Into a corner, and stand-ing- at a convenient, height-of'about fouror five feet from the ground, the top of Itcan be used for holding the collection offavorite, pipes, nests of ash trays andall the other smoking, accessories that

,,_Jnust-.,flrid.,,a,- rest Ing- place »• somewhere;" ~The cabinet Itself la furnished with dou-ble doors, tha inner one arranged to holda moist sponge, the outer ona makingthe chamber airtight. A little drawerholds matches, cigar cutter, etc. The.cabinet can be had in almost any kindof wood, to match either the furnitureIn the room of the woodwork, and cootsJ16.75 and J20.

/ Or An Unninal Smoking Set./"XF course, there are many differentVy kinds of smoking sets, but It Is al-ways a pleasure to come upon some-thing distinctive and a bit unusual. Ina Japanese art shop, a -charming itttlt'lacquered tray, oblong in shape with in-lays of mother-of-pearl can bo had for*L This would make a quaint cigar orcigarette tray and a small lacqueredbowl lined with gloss could be utilizedfor an ash tray, making a set qulta outof the ordinary.

A Combination tamp and Inkstand.A man should flnd true privacy In

something that la different from theslbillties for gift giving. A novelty thaiis quite new la a combination lamp andInkstand that is perhaps more conveni-ent and compact than the many singlepieces that ao often clutter a desk un-necessarily. It is composed of two Inkwells; a pen try and a pen brush at-tached to an' adjustable desk lamp, andone design was carried, out in a metalcalled "'bronie de luxe," but the moreartistic one that costs »20 was shownIn Japanese lacquer. Indeed, .the warhas brought into greater popularity thanever wares from the Orient.-and thoughmany of the modern productions showthe baleful Influence of commercialismand the monotony of machine-made ob-jects, there Is still Inherent in many ofthese creations a flne feeling for decora,tlon and beauty.

And Then There Are Knoekeri.Quaint .old knockers, or those reprc

duced from old designs make interest-Ing gifts for -those who care for indi-vidual things. The small ones are useuon the doors of Bopo-auj rooms In coun-try houses, but a flue massive oneshould adorn the outer door of a lovelyold country house that would welcomeIt gladly this Chris jnaa.

After the usual formula as to thepajment_bf_debt8 and so on, and themention of a few smainegaclbs tocharitable (objects, it proceeded:
