LESSON THOUGHTS.
Mere promises. without action, do not
constitute obedience. The rainbow is
beautiful, but we value it most because
God has fulfilled the promise which it
| represents. So any promise OF obedience,
however beautiful in itself, needs fulfill
ment to give it value with God.
We cannot obey God unless we know
what his will is. II we wish to obey we
will seek to know his will.
SELECTIONS.
If the little things have a right to your
obedience, there is asgreat glory in obey
ing them as i'll obeylng greater things. A
ship that disregarded lis rudder because
a rddder is slight thing, would soon
come to ruin. Heed the smallest hint of
conscience.
He who has followed Gods mes
sages on earth has at last another mes
sage to follow, and according to the
faithiulness with which he has beard and
obeyed here will be the confidence and
gladness with which be will follow the
last. . God help us to follow every
voice of his providence which leads us to
his service here, that when the last voice
comes, before which the human spirit
naturally shrinks and sinks, we will rise
up and follow, doubting nothing, and
swiftly go up, casping the hand of the
angel until we clasp the hand of Christ
himself.
Obedience implies that someone else is
in charge. Then some one else is respon.
sible tor the result 1t may look to us
as if given course would mean failure;
| but the outcome rests with the one that
makes the plan and marks out our part
in it. If Gods WAYS are ways of wis,
| dom, then there is no cause for US to
worry about what will happen if we fol-
low his clear leading. His leadership en-
sures success, and our safety is in follow
| ing.

OF England and her colonies during near

the diplomatic service i'll 1854 as an at
tache to the British mission in Vieuna =,
and in 1896 his official life ended with
his retirement from the ambassadorship
to France. Aside from the posts men

dor to Russia, ambassador to Turkey,
ambassador to Italy, special commits.
sioner to Egypt and various other i'm
portant positions at home and abroad.
His last days have been saddened by the
death of his son Lord Ava in South

In the spring everybody needs and
should take spring medicine. Spring
is the time to be cured if you are sick
and the spring finds most of us in poor
condition, blood poor, nerves relaxed
weak, and unstrung, and the organs
clogged and sluggish in action.
DR.. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve
remedy is the best spring medicine in
the world, the best possible remedy for
you to take, the one sure spring restora-
tive which will build up your blood, in
vigorate your nerves, and give you your
old-time snap, vim, energy, strength,
and vigor,
DIR. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve
remedy is purely vegetable and perfect
ly harmless, and now is the time to
take it-now is the time you need it
most-now is the time to be cured.
