ordinarily good shot 1t is treat to note the

chuckles which only darky can do justice
to, as much as to say that he, and he alone,
had done the trick, to the utter confusion Of
the rival caddies. Some of these darkies
make good caddies, but the majority are too
indolent or uninterested to be more than
mere beasts of burden, knowing little OF the
game and caring less. They tell a story Of

OF Wide Interest.

Peterson, Justice Of the Peace for Oconto
Co., has delivered judgment that is of in
terest to the whole United States: Put
briefly, that Judgment is, 'D0dd's Kidney
Pills are the best Kidney medicine on the
market to-day"
And Mr. Peterson gives his reason for
this judgment. He says: Last winter l
had an aching pain in my back which
troubled me very much. In the, morning
1 could hardly straighten my back: did
not know what it was but an advertisement
led me to try Dodd's Kidney Pills. After
taking one box can only say they have done
more for me than expected as feel as well
now as ever did before"
Pain in the back is one of the first symp-
toms of Kidney disease. If not cured by
Dodd's Kidney Pills it may develop into
Bright's Disease, Diabetes, Rheumatism or
some of the other deadly forms of Kidney

RACE DONE?
Not a Bit of It.

A man who thought his race was
run made food find that brought him
back to perfect health.
Zone year ago 1 was unable to per-
form any labor, in fact 1 was told by
my physicians that they could do moth
ing further for me. 1 was fast sink
ing away, for an attack of grip had left
my stomach SO weak it could not di-
gest any food sufficient to keep me
alive.
There l was just wasting away,
growing thinner every day and weak
er, really being snuffed out simply be-
cause 1 could not get any nourishment
from food.
Then my sister got after me to
try Grape-Nuts food which had done
much good for her, and she finally
persuaded me, and although no other
food had done me the least bit of
good, my stomach handled the Grape
Nuts from the first, and this food sup
piled the nourishment 1 had needed.
In three months 1 was so strong I
moved from Albany to San Francisco
and now on my three meals of Grape
Nuts and cream every day 1 am strong
and vigorous and do fifteen hours
work
81 believe the sickest person IN
the world could do as / do, eat three
meals of nothing but Grape-Nuts and
cream, and soon be on their feet again
in the flush of best health like me.
Not only am l in perfect physical
health again, but my brain is stronger
and clearer than 1t ever was on the
old diet. 1 hope you will write to the
names 1 send you about Grape-Nuts,
for want to see my friends well and
strong.
Just think that a year ago l was

D UT Rahab was not content to enjoy
u her security and peace alone. She
thought OF her father and mother, her
brother and friends. During those days
and nights which interviewed between
the visit of the spies and the destruc-
ton of Jericho she in eager haste
warned them of their danger and
sought to bring them under the protec-
ton of the scarlet thread. We would
think it strange had she done other
wise, and yet how many there are who
are resting under the sheltering blood
of Christ, who are Indifferent to the
danger of loved ones and friends?
Saved, but careless about the salvation
of others. Abiding under the shelter
ing blood, but Indifferent whether 9TH
ers find that shelter or not. Oh, isitnOt
awful, The careless, thoughtless in
difference of Christians? Awake! On
Christians! Jericho is to be destroyed
The unrepentant sinners are to perish
in the awful destruction. Do you real
ize it? Loved ones, friends are going
down to death You are behind the
sheltering blood. you are safe, but they
are lost They are abiding out in the
streets of the worlds sin. Destruction

them into the ark Of Christi Go out
and plead with them, as you value

stance which brought those spies to her

there is soul which yearns to know God,
there it is that God is sending His mes

The soul cannot escape the conscious
ness of God. You realize that, my
friend. You know there is living and
true God, even as did those people of
Jericho, but is your belief living faith
such as Rahab had? A faith which
brought with it a holy fear of God and
desire to know Him better? And If you
have such faith you need not perish in
the fated city of Jericho. but you may
be delivered even as was Rahab. Her faith
led to obedience, and saving faith is al
ways obedient faith. by faith" we are
told, "Rahab the harlot persisted not
with them that were disobedient, having
received the spies with peace" Her
faith led her to receive Gods messengers
and to obey their instructions. James
calls it a working faith. And saving
God. Scripture declares that the Devils
believe and shudder." And mere idle,
inactive faith in God will never prepare
you to meet Him. You believe in God,
you say. Are you willing to receive His
message? Are you anxious to know Him
and His will concerning you? If not,
you have no saving faith in Him.

I ERICHO is to be destroyed. Rahab
y as a resident of that city is in aw-
full peril. She, with the other inhabi-
tants, is under judgment for sin The
city and all therein are to be de-
strOyed. Rahab is in peril; she is face
to face with death. See her within
that doomed city. Each day as it
passes brings the day of judgment
nearer. Destruction is sure to fall.
No human power can deliver. And
here we have a perfect picture of the
world and the people of the world to-
day, for the world is under condemna-
ton for sin. The people of Jericho
are characterized in our text as DISC
bedient, and Paul in the fifth of Ephe-
slams calls the people OF the world the
children of disobedience." And be
cause of these things cometh the wrath
Of Coo" upon them. God hath de-
clared all under sin, for among men
there is none that dOeth good, no not
one" "All have sinned and come
short of the glory of God" As you turn

n BEDIENCE involves the scarlet
~ thread. 1t let the two spies down
to safety, aid it became the sign in
the window which sheltered the house
OF Rahab when the judgment of God fell
upon the city. The scarlet thread, the
type of the blood of Christ, protecting
the saint and saving the sinner. AS
obedience for Rahab involved the scar
let thread, so obedience for the sinner
involves the blood of Christ. The blood
Of Christ, Gods sacrifice for sin, must
be accepted as the sign of deliverance.
There was salvation for Rahab in no
other way than by the display of the
scarlet token in her window. There is
salvation for the sinner in no other
way than in the blood of Jesus Christ
Gods Word declares that without
the shedding of blood there is no re-
mission" and again, Neither is there
salvation in any other, for there is
none other name under Heaven given
among men whereby we must be
saved" Christ is the only door of es-
cape. Jericho is to be destroyed. There
is safety in no other place in that
doomed city but in the house of Rahab,
where the scarlet thread may be seen
floating from the window easement.
The world is to be destroyed. The sim
ner is to perish There is safety no.
where except behind the sheltering
blood. The sinner must become obedi-
ent to that blood. His faith must re-
veal his lost and helpless condition be-
cause Of sin, and his faith must accept
the Christ who has offered Himself as
the sacrifice for sin. In that He has
suffered death upon the cross and thus
paid the penalty for sin, He is able to
deliver from death them that are IN

81 ND she bound the scarlet line in
n the window" Dear friend. have
you bound the scarlet line of Jesus blood
in the window of your soul? The only
place of peace in all that great city OF
Jericho was in the house of Rahab,
and it was all because of that bit OF
scarlet thread, which was a sign be-
tween her and God that she was not
to perish in the coming destruction
There is no place of peace outside the
sheltering blood of Christ. You dare
not meet God without it. Why does
the presence of death make men trem-
BILE and fear? Why is it that in the
presence of awful danger, men who
have never before known a fear will
tremble and call upon God in agony of
soul? All, friend, it is because the
soul is not prepared to meet its God!
There was awful fear and terror in
that city of Jericho. Rahab tells the
story when she says: Our hearts did
melt, neither did there remain any
more spirit in any man" And when
the sense of security of this life is
brushed aside and man is brought face
to face with God then the stubborn
heart melts in fear and the proud, I'M
bending knees smite together in help
less weakness. But in the house of
Rahab was perfect peace, for the scar
let thread was in the window. And in
the heart of the Christian there is
sweet abiding peace, for the blood OF
Christ is there as an everlasting sign
to God. And nowhere else in all the
world is there real peace known. Will
you not enter into that peace? Take
the blood of Jesus and bind it as a pre-
cious token within your heart, and
peace, sweet peace, will food your
soul

a ND note, now, the attitude of Rahab
u and OF the inhabitants of Jericho in
the face OF the peril which threatened
them. Reports had reached the city of
the movements OF the people whose God
was able to dry up the water of the Red
sea before them" They had heard with
increasing terror of how their God had
delivered into their hands the mighty
kings OF the AmOrites. Their heather
gods were never able so to Co But here
was a people with a God who was Iiv-
ing presence, One who was powerful to
overcome every obstacle and mighty to
crush every foe. The consciousness of
the true God was being crowded home
upon them. Surely, this must be the
true God, the one great God. And to-day
the thought of God is being crowded
home upon the world. A thousand prov
licences are compelling people to think.
An IrOquOis fire in Chicago, steamb boat
disaster in New York, and the multitude
OF incidents which are occurring daily
in the lives of individuals everywhere
are bringing people face to face with
God. In Jericho there was only one per-
son who wanted to know the true God
and to obey Him, and in the world to-
day the proportion is nearly the same.
One listening to Gods voice and turning
to Him, where there are thousands who
are in disobedience and unbelief going
down to death and destruction. When
two OF Gods messengers came to Jeri-
Cho the people were eager and fierce to
kill them. There was only one person.
and that woman who was willing to re-
ceive them. And how Jericho is a pic
ture of the world to-day. Multitudes,
multitudes in disobedience and unbelief
going down to death, while the few like
Rahab are being saved. Many are
called, but few are chosen" How is it
with you? oh, soul! You who are in the
Jericho Of sin and rebellion against God,
are you anxious. like Rahab, to know
the true God and TO be saved from your
awful peril of soul death, or are you, as
