THE STORY.

IT HE years following the conquest
/ of Canaan and the division of the
land among the various tribes, bring
ing as they did their peace, and Sc
curity and prosperity-for the land
brought forth abundantly gave
Joshua the rest he longed for and
needed, for with the advancing years
he had felt more and more the bur
dens of leadership A feeling of con-
tentment and satisfaction filled his
heart as he beheld each tribe content
edly settled upon it's inheritance. The
tabernacle had been set up in Shiloh,
and the priests and Levites minis
tered before the Lord, while the peo-
ple worshiped without at the ap-
pointed seasons. The mercies and
blessings of the Lord were so fresh
in mind, and the mighty victories
which the Lord had given them were
of such recent occurrence that there
was no thought or desire to mingle
with the heather nations about them
or tc be even. so much as drawn away
by IDLE curiosity in the worship of
their idols.
All this, as we have said, brought
cheer and satisfaction to the aged
leaders heart, and encouraged the
hope that whatever had been the fail
ures in the past, however grievous
had been their disobedience and lack
of faith, the people had at last learned
the wisdom and reward Of serving
the true God and would not again de-
part from him. This confidence
served to blind Joshua to any ten
dency towards waywardness on the
part of the people, and for some time
now he had ceased to require the de-
tailed report from the elders. Thus
the weeks and months slipped by, and
more and more Joshua and those
about him realized that the infirmi-
ties of age were telling upon him.

Prey of the Sparrow Hawk.

The fact is that the sparrow hawk al
most invariably catches a flying bird
for it's meal even striking down birds
as large as the wood pigeon, though
usually going no higher than a black
bird. If it does not exactly swoop
like the larger hawks, yet it must
have conditions of chase of its own
choosing.
This is why the small birds usually
mob it with impunity when they are
enough to bewilder it.
Once, however, / saw a sparrow
hawk that had been molested for
some minutes by a perfect cloud of
green inches dart among them and
secure a victim. The other day l had
one of these birds pointed Out as the
one which a few days earlier had

and caught a bat on the wing. That.

MIX THIS AT HOME.
Valuable Prescription Which Anyone
Can Easily Prepare.

The following simple homemade
| mixture is said to readily relieve and
| overcome any form of Rheumatism by
| forcing the Kidneys to filter from the
| blood and system all the uric acid and
| poisonous waste matter, relieving at
! once such symptoms as backache,
| weak kidneys and bladder and blood
| diseases.
Try it, as it doesn't cost much to
make, and is said to be absolutely
harmless to the stomach.
Get the following harmless ingredi-
ents from any good pharmacy: Fluid
Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce;
Compound Kargon, one ounce; Com
pound Syrup of Sarsaparilla, three
unces. Mix by shaking well in a bot
! tie, and take a teaspoonful after each
meal and again at bedtime.
This simple mixture is said to give
| prompt relief, and there are very few
cases of Rheumatism and Kidney
troubles it will fail to cure perma-
nently.
These are all harmless, everyday
drugs, and your druggist should keep
them in the prescription department;
If not, have him order them from the
wholesale drug houses for you, rather
than fail to use this, if you are af-
ficted.

MRS. ELvA BARBER EDWARDS

There are three critical stages in a
in her career. The first Of these stages
is womanhood, or the change from a
care free girl to budding womanhood,
The second is motherhood, and the
third is Change of Life.
Perils surround each of these stages,
and most of the misery that comes
to women through ill health dates
from one or another of these inn
portant crises.
Women should remember that Lydia
e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
made from native roots and herbs has
carried thousands of young girls over
the critical period of puberty, has
prepared mothers for childbirth, and
in later years carried them safely
through the change of life more sue
cessfully than any other remedy in
the world. Thousands of testimonials
from grateful persons, two of which
are here published, substantiate this
fact beyond contradiction.

Joshua, the servant OF tho
Lord."-Such is the testimony
of the writer of the sacred mar
rative at the close Of the life Of
Joshua. No costly monument
was reared to the memory OF
the great leader, but there has
come down the ages this record
that he served God.
And what greater or more
enduring record could be writ
ten of any man? 1t at once de-
clares the character of such a
man; it testifies to the perma-
nency of his life work; 1t gives
assurance of the abiding infiu-
ence of such a life upon the
lives of others.
Let US consider these points.
First, the character of the
servant. He who is truly a
servant of God, must be God
like. More is needed than the
title and the earb of outward
seeming. The right to the title,
Servant of the Lord must be
tested by what a man is and
does. Not every m that saith,
"Lord, Lord" is entitled to the
name and livery of Servant of
the Most High" The true serv-
ant is one with his master in
purpose and desire. He studies
to know and do the will of his
master. He delights to be like
his master and to be identified
with him.. How perfectly was
this expressed in the life OF
Jesus. AS servant of God he
lived the God life on earth. The
life of God flowed through him
Just as he would have it flow
through us. The true servant
is the branch which abides in
the vine and obtains it's life
therefrom.
And now as to what the SER
want does. The true servant is
busy about his Lords business.
1t must be so, else is he disloy-
al and unfaithfui. To be a SER
want implies service. The idle,
careless, Indifferent, neglectful
servant is no servant at all, and
not worthy of the lame. But
what may we know of the life
work of the true servant of the
Lord7 We may know first that
it has helped work out the eter-
nal purposes of God in the
world. We may know in the
second place that the measur-
ing rod of eternity, not that OF
time, must be used to declare
the quantity and quality of the
work. We may know also that
the service rendered on earth
was but the beginning of the
service to be rendered in
Heaven. What an inspiration
in the thought that he who
works and builds with God here
works and builds with God for
eternity.
And then there is the abiding
influence of the true servant of
God, which goes or and on in
ever widening circles among
men. This thought is expressed
in the declaration concerning
Abel, who offered acceptable
sacrifice to God, that "being
dead, he yet speaketh." And
from Abel down take the record
of the true servants of the Lord
as set forth in the Word Of
God, and who can estimate the
influence which has gone out
from those lives. Though dead,
they continue to speak their
message to the hearts of men.
Joshua, the servant of the
Lord. What a glorious com
ment on his life. Servant of the
Lord! May we all strive to be
worthy of the name and rela-
tionship.
