There was no lack of religion and
worship in the land Every high hill
had its grove Of trees with an altar in
the midst, surrounded by obelisks OF
stone or columns of wood. On every
street in the city was a shrine for Of
ferings. Sacrifices were frequent, and
all the life Of the people was interwo-
ven with acts of devotion They could
undertake no task without invoking the
favor and help of the divine powers
and asking some sign or omen to guide
them. Nor was this merely outward
show. In the very soul itself the peo-
pie stood in awe of the unseen powers.
All was mystery impenetrable, and
while they sought liee health and prop
erty they feared the powers which
ruled over all things and by offerings
tried to buy their help.
The times were troublous. The ma
ton must maintain its existence by
constant war. The lust for power and
luxury infected all Right was not a
matter of reason. but of strength.
Into such times Isaiah found himself
born and growing TO manhood. Yet in
the midst OF the corruption, violence
and dissoluteness Of society there was
a small band of rare spirits who saw
beyond the evils Of the time and had
strong faith IN a divine force which
was shaping events according to wise
and beneficent purpose. The vice Of the
people must be checked or disaster
would overwhelm all in ruin. To these
men religion was not a routine of sacri-
fee and feasting and burning Of in
cense, not an orgy Of debauchery and
blood God to them was a Lord Of
righteousness who demanded honest
dealing and purity of soul. He was to
be proptiated not by offerings of
beasts, but by genuine piety and peni-
tenee of heart They reyerenced Him
as protector and avenger of the limo
cent and as punisher of wrongdoers.
High above all rulers was this Jeho
yah. ruling nations and their kings
righteously. They were His messen-
gers not priests to offer sacrifices. but
heralds to proclaim His laws and de-
crees and call men to obedience. The
crimes and religious corruption of the
people terrified them not for their own
safety, but because of the punishment
which must follow the evil.
Such a one was Isaiah. Day and
night meditating the will of Jehovah
and the times. he sees and hears the
Jehovah surrounded by heavenly hosts
in awful majesty. He feels his own
uncleanness of soul and the thrill of
the divine incoming The commission
to go to the people rs the messenger of
Jehovah is received and accepted with
bounding heart
This Is the clew to the wonderful
after life of Isaiah He is counselor to
kings He Is preacher of Righteousness,
recorder of history, expounder of Gods
will, the prophet of true religion in
the midst of every kind of falsity.
He sees with clear vision what no
man had ever before seen. He speaks
to the men of his own time and of all
after time the divine message that Je
hovah is ruler of all men and com
mands to righteousness and brother
love. He calls to men because God has
called him.

The black pirates lieutenant was
climbing up the side of the ship, with
his knife in his teeth
Suddenly he took deep breath and
swallowed the keen blade.

checked Thurstons who with quaking
hearts smiled affably at her.

politely.
''She's in fast enough" returned the
woman; Gin bed with rheumatism and
nooralgy from cleanin' house before 1t
was warm enough weather"
WED just as lief go up and see
her." suggested Molly, with desire to
be agreeable.
The woman shifted. ITS not compa-
ny she's wantin'," she began. when a
deep voice from the upper regions was
heard:
"How do you know what | want,
Jane Thornton? Who is itT'
"They can come and tell you" re
piled Jane in caustic tone. and,
standing aside, she opened the door
wider. Six pairs of feet rubbed them
selves on the mat and tiptoed through
the oileloth covered hall and up the
stairs. Following the direction of the
voice. they presently stood a fascnat-
ed, speeches. row at the side of her
bed
Mrs. Smithers ordinarily was an un'
common personality, and now. with
her face swathed in bandages she
looked out at the astonished Thurstons
with twinkle of amusement in her
sharp, deep set eyes
Dummy Dee was the first to recover
his tongue.
I'm sorry you're sick, Mrs. Smith
ers," he said Daddy told us to come
and see how poor you are. Il think"
he went on. ''it's because he wants you
to take baby to raise"
"Whose mother has died, and she
wanted father to find place for Il"
said Molly.
"We'd love to take it," said Dummy,
SELLING his turn, but we are poor our
selves, and such lot of US and little
house."
81 suppose that's what made him
think of you. there's so few of you and
so much house, you know" said Tom.
Mrs Smithers proceeded to unite
bandages and to lie back on the pill
lows and laugh.
''Do you think could stand young
ster cluttering up this house and both
ering the life out of mey she asked
when she could speak.
Then Polly, who had been looking
around the great square, cheerless
looking room, came nearer. Mother
says children are comfort anyway"
she said Even If they do cost lot
and make lot Of noise they fill up all
the empty places"
Mrs. Smithers' lone childless heart
bounded and her face softened as she
looked at the six sturdy faces SO ear
nestly regarding her.
She had been called, and rightly per
haps, a hard business woman, made 50

SEVERE ATTACK OF GRIP

cured myself with one bottle of Cham

vile, n. Y. This is the honest truth.
at times kept from coughing myself to
pieces by taking teaspoonful of this
remedy, and when the coughing spell
would come on at night | would take
dose and it seemed that in the briefest
interval the cough would pass off and
would go to sleep perfectly free from
cough and it's accompanying pains. To
say that the remedy acted as most
agreeable surprise is putting 1t very
mildly. | had no idea that it would or
could knock out the grip, simply because
| had never tried it for such purpose,
but it did, and it seemed with the second
attack of coughing the remedy caused it
to not only be of less duration, but the
pains were far less severe, and | had not
used the contents of one bottle before
Mr.. Grip had bid me adieu." For sale by
