Bible Study. Lesson XLVH. Jere-
Iniah 3O-45. jeremiah Com

IL
With Samuel. Samuel mourned for
Saul, as jeremiah did for Josiah. But
1t was Samuel's privilege to anoint
David, a man after Gods own heart,
and lay the foundation for a much
more splendid kingdom. How slight
the sorrows of Samuel; how large his
encouragements, compared with those
of Jeremiah. During the twenty-five
years that interviewed between the
death of Josiah and the final cataStro-
phe, three of his sons and grandson
successfully disgraced the throne. Set
up and pulled down by foreign con-
querors, each was finally carried away
to die in captivity except Jehoiakim,
who was murdered and cast forth with
the burial of an ass. Each of these
weaklings during his brief abuse of
power had time enough to demonstrate
his incapacity, duplicity, vanity. obsti-
macy, rapacity and impiety. AS the full
strong current of the Nile or MiSSis-
divides across the mud flats of a delta,
so the royal dynasty of David, at the
end, was lost in contemplate branches.
Through all the slow, Misunderstanding
steps of its political decadence Jere-
miah went down with his nation into
the grave.
Elijah was thought to be the boldest
of the prophets, yet he fled. To him
it was revealed that things were not
so bad as they seemed. What Elijah
mistakenly supposed to be his lot was
really that of jeremiah. Still Jere-
miah was not permitted to flee away.
Firm at his post where Elijah had not
the courage to stand, Jeremiah stood
to the bitter end.
Paul wrote ''I have great sorrow
and unceasing pain in my heart" but
this was only a part of PauPs ex-
perience. He had the privilege of GO
ing far away from unready Jerusalem
to a work of magnificent constructive
ness among the Gentiles, where multi
tudes of converts became his Joy and
crown. jeremiah, through his long
ministry, had only the great sorrow
and unceasing pain in his heart and
nothing more. His duty was to stay
year after year in Jerusalem, rejected,
threatened, set in stocks, cast Into dun
geons and pit, repeating over and over
fearful message to unwilling ears,
with never the joy of a single success.
Neither Moses. nor Joshua, nor Sam
uel, nor Elijah, nor Paul, was ever sub
dured. AS a sufferer. he stands next
to the Christ. If he shrank from his
task, Moses and Isaiah did the same
If he yielded to disbursement in de-
feat, so did Joshua. If he longed for a
lodge in the wilderness, SO did Elijah.
If he cursed the day of his birth. Job
the great example of patience, did the
same. If he wept over Jerusalem, SO
did our Lord. That Jeremiah pre-
served the sweetness of his affections.
and the loyalty Of his piety, and the
holiness of his official testimony to the
end, argues a pre- eminently ardent
high-spirited, heroic nature.

1t is curious but satisfactory fact that
chronic Bright's Disease, which according
to medical authorities, is an incurable and
fatal disease, is now actually being cured.
We have not attached Importance to the
statements of recoveries we have seen in
the papers from the states. but that they
are not all rurnors is now evident from
several recoveries here.
A H Otis of the Honolulu Drug Co.
tells us of two interesting cases. One was
swollen with dropsy due to advanced
Bright's Disease, and both the patient and
his physician had given up hope. Otis
kept urging trial of the new specific un-
til the patient finally consented. Recov-
cry was complete, the patient leaving a
few months later for California, where he
now resides.
Another case was that of an officer on
one of the Island steamers. He was in a
hospital and considered hopeless when
put on the treatment. He has now been
back at his post for some time.
The specific that was employed Is called
F'ulton's Compound for Bright's Disease.
1t seems to be a genuine discovery. Otis
says there are very few failures, but that
it requires patiencs.-Honolulu Bulletin.
We are agents fer this Compound.
Kan.
When to suspect Bright's Disease
weakness or loss of weight; drOpsy; puffy
ankles. hands or eyelids; Kidney trouble
after the third month: urine may show
sediment; falling Vision; drowsiness- If

"A MODERN OBJECT OF CHURCH
There was a time when the saliva
| ton Of individual souls from torments
in the next world was generally con-
| sidered the main, If not the sole, OBJ
| Ject OF the church. but that time Is
| past, and topics pertaining to human
welfare now and here are becoming
more and more frequently discussed
in the pulpit, at least in this country.
The church can greatly aid in the So
luton of the labor question without
going into the details thereOf-drSt,5 by
calling forth in as many as it may
that good will which is necessary even
to correct understanding Of the sit
uation; second, by emphasizing the
truth that even though it may seem
otherwise, justice can never really
fnjure any one and injustice never
really benefit any one in Gods uni
verse.-Rev. August Dellgren, Swedish
Unitarian, Chicago.
RELIGION THAT IS GENUINE.
A genuine religion is based on right
doctrine. Right practice is right doc
trine in operation. Right life is right
creed lived. A man must first learn
He must master the doctrine before he
thing more is needed. Many who are
orthodox in creed are heterodox in life;
though well taught, they do not well;
right in creed, they are wrong in con-
"
the determination to practice it at
whatever cost. These youthful heroes
not only knew the will of God, but
they resolved to on the viii of God.
BE it known unto thee, o king, that
we will not serve thy gods nor worship
the golden image which thou hast set
up" Right doctrine and right resolve
are the foundations on which genuine
religion stands mistaken and unshak-
able. Genuine religion asks not, Is it
expedient, or popular, or lucrative, or
pleasant? 1t asks the one question, Is
1t right? Genuine religion will do the
right though the heavens faH.-Rey. DR..
A; Lincoln Moore, Baptist, New York.
CULTIVATING HUMAN NATURE.
One way to cultivate human nature
is by infusing into that nature kindred
natures. All unconsciously we are do
Ing this. You are protesting Chris
tan and have weakness for some
pleasure which you yield to when you
ought not to yield; some one is watch
ing who has not yet made a decision
for Christ and is Influenced by your &C
ton. You are of a cheerful DISPOSE
ton, trying whenever possible to look
on the right side of things; you natu-
rally cause those around you to be
more cheerful You are cross and
surly; those around you become petu-
liant. You have a character for hon
esty and integrity; your influence
among your associates and in the COM
munity is healthful; the spirit Of your
life is infused into others. Thank God
for the good mothers who reared their
children in the fear and admonition of
the Lord, for the godly men who stood
firm in times of sorest trial and who
gave their lives for the gospels sakei
They started influences that have gone
down the ages a goodly heritage, and
1t is ours to see that, unsullied by us,
1t is passed on to posterity.-Rev DR..
S. Edward Young, Presbyterian, Pitts
burg.

RELIGIOUS THOUGHT.
Gems Cleaned From the Teachings OF
All Denominations.

There never was an ideal man who
was not courageous. Life is cease
less conflict, ana without courage no
one can live manly life.-Rev. G. B.
vosburgh. Baptist, Denver.
CREED.
1t is better to have a good human
creed than to have no creed, but bet
ter still to have divine creed which
is a personal faith in a personal Christ.
Rev. NJ. E. Harlan, Disciple, Brook
Ign.
Temptation is not sin. Good men are
tempted; children are tempted; angels
arc tempted; Jesus was tempted. 1t is
not a sign that you are bad that you
have temptations.-Rev. N. NJ. Wa
tiers, Congregationalist, Brooklyn.
A GOOD SERVICE.
Quietly and steadfastly stand for
honesty and purity in public and in
private, and you shall serve your gen.
Grafton more than by steamships or
railways or all material wealth.-Rev.
w. H. Faunce, Presbyterian, Provi-
GODS ESTIMATE.
Nothing is lost with God. The noble
aspirations for the better life and the
wish to do something for others.
though circumstances may thwart its
accomplishment, still have their merit
in Gods estimate.-Rev. J. r. White,
Disciple, Atlanta, Ga.
OUR EARTHLY LOT.
To a sincere and noble mind his
earthly lot matters little. His joys
and sorrows will be very much the
same whether he receive from fate
the heritage of toll or the trust of
wealth--Rev. DIR. Frank Crane, Con-
gregationalist, worcester. Mass.
NEED OF JOY.
Joy Is a vital and worthy element in
every life. Our rugged and rushing
age is so serious minded that we have
almost forgotten to be merry and ring
out hearty peals Of laughter. Yet no
one Is at his best until deeply and di-
ytuely happy.-Rev w. P. Ferguson,
Metho dist, Los Angeles.
A GREAT TRUTH.
Let us believe with all our heart
and mind that John reported the exact
language of Jesus when he said, ct go
to prepare a place for you" We need
this great truth. Men grow to be like
the things they love and think much
about. Love of money runs to nliser-
illness Love of society runs to vanity
and shallowness. Love of victory runs
to cruel ambition. Love of the world
runs to death. But love of heaven
runs to life and health and peace
