SAFEST FOOD
In Any Time of Trouble Is Grape-Nuts

In Any Time of Trouble Is Grape-Nuts
Food to rebuild the strength and
that is pre- digested must be selected
when one is convalescent. At this
time there is nothing so valuable as
Grape-Nuts for the reason that this
food is all nourishment and is also all
digestibIe nourishment. A woman
who used it says:
Some time ago I was very i'll with
typhoid fever, so i'll everyone thought
1 would die, even myself. 1t left me
so weak l could not properly digest
food of any kind and l also had much
bowel trouble which left me weak,
helpless wreck.
Il needed nourishment as badly as
anyone could, but none of the tonics
helped me until 1 finally tried Grape
Nuts food morning and evening. This
not only supplied food that thought
delicious as could be but it also made
me perfectly well and strong again SO
l can do all my homework, sleep well,
can eat anything without any trace of
bowel trouble. and for that reason
alone Grape-Nuts food is worth its
weight in gold" Name given by
Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
Typhoid fever like some other dis
eases attacks the bowels and frequent
ly sets up bleeding and makes them
for months incapable of digesting the
starches and therefore pre- digested
Grape-Nuts is invaluable for the we'll
known reason that in Grape-Nuts all
the starches have been transformed
into grape sugar. This means that the
first stage of digestion has been me-
chanically accomplished in Grape-Nuts
food at the factories and therefore
anyone. no matter how weak the stom-
ach, can handle it and grow strong.
for all the nourishment is still there
There's sound reason and 10 days
trial proves.

THE great initial truth is that light
1 has come into the world. This is
the center from which all other truth
radiates. Light in the world, and yet
how Indifferent we are to that Light.
How unresponsive to it's quickening
rays. The hard bare rock by the road
side lies under the rays of the sun, its
surface is warmed thereby, but how
unresponsive and Indifferent it is to the
great light holder glowing in the heav-
ems. But the little flower by the edge
of the great rock eagerly watches for the
first faint ray of light in the east and
then unfolds its petals to the advancing
light. 1t catches the rare tints of the
rainbow in its leaf and flower as it fol-
lows the sun in it's course. 1t is con-
scious of the light all the livelOng day.
and, responsive to that light, 1t grows in
stature and beauty. All, how like the
rock by the roadside is the human heart!
The Light that has come falls upon it,
and yet it feels no new impulses, it un-
dergoes no change, it remains the same,
hard unresponsive thing that it was be-
fore the Light came and shined upon 1t.
God does not want US to be like the
stone He wants us to be as the respon-
sive flower. He wants us to be cons ciOus
Of the Light by the quickening and de-
veloping processes which He would set
in motion. He wants us to grow up in
that Light. He wants us to catch the
coIorings and fragrance which come
from fellowship with the Christ. John
tells us that eff we walk in the Light
as He is in the Light. we have fellow
ship one with another, and the blood
of Jesus Christ. His Son, cleanseth us
from all sin" oh, how day by day we
ought to be conscious of this Light in
the world. How the message, Thy
Light is come. and the glory of the Lord
is risen upon theel" ought to stir our
hearts. and make US eager to have real
lied in us the declaration of the last
part of the text: His glory shall be
seen upon thee"

T HE Christ, the perfect Model the
Saviour of men, has been exalted to a
place in the Heavens, and His disciples
have been left in the world to reflect His
glory. 1t may be difficult, yea. impossi-
BILE, to get the worlds people to look up
and see the Christ, but His disciples may
be the mirrors in which the beautiful
graces and virtues of the Christ
life may be reflected, and men
beholding shall be impressed and
Influenced thereby. Let us, then, be
the mirrors in which the Light may be
sent into all the dark places of the earth.
1t was not long after the mirror was
placed in the floor of the cathedral that
1t was noted that more and more of thu
worshipers were turning their gaze
from the mirrored reflection to the orig
inal painting Having gained a vision
a dawning conception, of the beauty and
grandeur of the art treasure, they were
no longer content with only the mir
rored reflection. They wanted to study
and know the original. And so 1t Is
bound to be with the disciples of Christ
who have been set as lights in the world
If they faithfully reflect the life and
character of the Christ Whose they are
and Whom they serve, II will not be long
until there will be many longing to see
and know the Christ Himself. They will
no longer be satisfied with the reflection,
but will want to meet the blessed Christ
face to face, and heart to heart. Then
will a new mirror be set in the worlds
pavement; then will there be new light
shed in the dark places; then will there
be other souls blessed, and the Gospel
light will be spread. Arise! Shine! Oh,
Christian! Thy Light has comet You
realize it. You know it. Why. then, are
you not shining for Him? Arise!
Afise!i Arise!!! For there are perish
ing souls all about you who need the
light And true it is that the voice of the
prophet is the voice of God as he cries:
'Arisei Shinel" What shall our answer
be? Because of the Christ Who has come
as Light into the world; because of the
souls perishing in the darkness of the
worlds sin; because we have been set as
lights in the world, surely we can make
but one reply. We will say: I'VE will
let our lights so shine before men that
they may see our good works and
glorify our Saviour in Heaven"

gency of the need, and the blessednesS
of the privilege of being light holders.
Isaiah sees before his vision the revived
and re-established nation of Israel. The
Christ. the One Whom the nation re-
jected when He first came to earth, has
returned and has been received by the
nation as its Messiah and King. And
the cry of the prophet comes to stir the
people to universal missionary activity
as the glory of her King is reflected upon
her and she goes forth to shine for Him.
AS one reads through the chapter the
glory, power and influence Of the ma
ton is unfolded. All nations are to
come under the influence and sway of
the restored nation of Israel, and all are
to come to know the Lord. This is the
great and ultimate fulfillment of this
prophecy. There Is, however, a nearer
message for the heart that knows and
loves the Lord. Israel is not ready yet
to receive her King. She is not prepared
to cry: Blessed is He Who cometh
IN the name of the Lord" But there are
individual hearts all over this land and
throughout the world who have beheld
the Light which has come into the
world; who have received that Light
as the beacon ray which could light
them back to God, and eternity with
Him. To such the cry of the prophet
comes as a present appeal, a present
blessed story of the Christ Who has
come into the world to save sinners, a
present glorious privilege of serving
that Christ to the saving of others
arise, then. shine; for thy Light is
come. and the glory of the Lord is risen
upon thee. Yea more, His glory
shall be seen upon thee"

Wv Christ, the Light of the world.
His glory to be seen upon us! But, oh,
how often it is far otherwisei No glory
of the Son shines through us. 1t is world
illness, and selfishness, and the multi
tude Of other things which find express
sion in our lives and shine forth to in
fiuence others away from Christ and
God. Lights in the world, and yet giving
out false light. Set by God as those
who should reflect the Christ and failing
absolutely SO to do. Think you there is
no need of the prophets plea? Think you
that to every heart into which the Light
has shined tnere should not come the
c@y: Arise! Sbipe!" Yes, arisei You
need to get upon higher plane. You
must rise out of your life of the flesh and
live in the Spirit. You must cruelty the
affections and lusts of the old man, and
rise and put on the graces of character of
the new man. 1t is a call to leave the
valley of the worlds life and to get up
upon the mountain top, where you may
be seen as a light in the world guiding
men to the true Light which is shining
through you. No man ever thinks OF
putting a beacon light on the low levels.
1t rises above every surrounding object.
1t stands away above the projecting
rocks of the coast, and the leaping bill
lows can only dash and foam in their
mad effort to mount the lofty pile Of
stone, while the faithful light shines out
unmoved far above. And so it should be
with the Christian. Arise! is the cry.
Carry the walls of the Christian graces
far upward where the light Christ has
given you may shine out upon the dark
ness of the world. Below the storm and
conflict of life may rage, the darkness
may be appalling, and the rocks watch
ing for their prey, but all unmoved the
light far above will shine out and guide
many soul to the safe haven of Christ'a
redeeming love. Think you that it does
not matter whether or no your light Is
shining? The command to all is to
shine.

NOU may read these words without
thrill stirring your heart. You may
hear the prophets words without being
conscious of their wondrous message,
but it is not the fault of the mighty
and glorious truth set forth, but the
result of the cold, unresponsive heart
which hears, yet is not conscious of the
marvellous music Divine; which sees,
yet does not appreciate the exquisite
coloring which God has placed here. The
story is told of the celebrated artist
Turner that one day as he was exhibiting
one of his masterpieces to a lady she
viewed it critically and then remarked,
unappreciatively: 'Ts not this coloring
a little unnatural and overdone? never
saw such sky as that" 'Ah, Madam"
replied the artist, but don't you wish
that you could?" She did not have the
artistic eye that could catch the ex-
quisite colorings that the artist was able
to see and put on canvas. But the tints
and colors were there just the same.
And the heart as it hears the message
IF our text may fail to feel the thrill of
Divine rapture. The lady critic of Tur-
ner's masterpiece could never know the
appreciation of the beauties of the pic
ture, but, thank God it need not be so
in regard to things spiritual Where the
hearing is dull and the eyesight is dim,
so that the message awakens no respon-
sive echoes in the heart, and no vision
comes with its inspiration and power, it
may all be changed under the gracious
operation of Gods spirit. The heart
may be quickened to hear and the blind
eyes may be opened to see. 1t need not
be said of you or me that it was impossi-
BILE to feel the thrill of Gods message,
or to catch the vision of glories beyond.
which would urge our tagging feet on

1T WAS a marvellous truth to which
= Christ gave expression when He de-,
clared to Philip, after he had asked to be
shown the Father: Have been so long
a time with you, and yet hast
thou not known Me, Philip? He
that hath seen Me hath seen
the Father; and how sayest thou,
then, Shew us the Father" And it is
equally as marvellous a truth that the
Christ is to be revealed to the world
through His followers. All, how Chris
tians by their imperfect, weak, wayward
lives dishonor and misrepresent the
Christ! But it is Gods purpose and de-
sire that His glory should be seen upon
the Christian. We are to be the mirrors
in which the Christ will be seen. 1t may
be difficult and often absolutely impos-
sible to get lost and perishing soul to
listen to sermon, but the Christian can
and ought to be living epistle, known
and read of all men" If he were such
the world would be speedily brought to
the feet of the Saviour of men. On the
ceiling of one of the magnificent old
churches of Europe is spread one of the
rare paintings of a celebrated master Of
the art Its striking beauty was ap-
preciated by all who would lift their eyes
upward and gaze upon it, but few en-
joyed it because of the tiresOme and I'M
natural position one was forced to take
in viewing 1t. This was unfortunate and
a real loss to the hundreds of worshipers
who passed to and fro under the master
piece, without taking the time or the
trouble to look up. This was source of
grief to the church dignitaries. and how
to place the beautiful painting within
the easy reach of all was the problem de-
solution. At last large and |
