RARVs ECZEMA GREW WORSE.
Hospitals and Doctors Could Not Re-
Iieve Him-But Cuticura Remedies
a Speedy, Permanent Cure.

Eczema appeared when our baby
was three months old. We applied to
several doctors and hospitals, each of
which gave us something different
every time, but nothing brought relief.
At last, one of our friends recommend
ed to us Cuticura Soap and Cuticura
Ointment. A few days afterwards i'm
provement could be noted. Since then
we have used nothing but Cutieura
Soap and Cuticura Ointment, and now
the baby is six months old and is quite
cured. All that we used was enc cake
of Cuticura Soap and two boxes Cuti-
cura Ointment, costing in all $125. c..

An Indians View Of an Organ.

After while curiosity led me back
to the sod house, and saw for the
first time how the white woman pumps
so much air into box that when she
presses on the top board it howls con-
vulsively. I forgot my bashfulness so
far as to listen openly and enjoy the
operation, wondering much how the
white man puts pair of lungs into a
box, which is furnished with whole
set of black and white teeth, and
when he sings to it it appears to an
swer him. This-i how the white peo-
pie teach their children to do things,

PAUL HAD HIS OWN IDEA.
Fathers Explanation of Lightning Not
Satisfactory to Him.

Little Paul was four years old when
the western city in which he lived was
swept one night by terrible storm
Wind, thunder and lightning played
havoc, and, while other members OF
the family were huddled in dark cor
ners. Paul watched the illumination OF
the sky with great delight. The next
morning at breakfast he asked his
father what caused the streaks OF f1re
across the sky, and his father, with
great pains, essayed to explain. Paul
listened attentively and apparently
accepted what was told him, but, when
he found attention diverted from him
self, he leaned over to his aunt, VINO
sat beside him, and whispered:
'Tt wasn't that, auntie. 1t was God

SERMONETTE.

A Choice That Determined a
Destiny.-orpha on the road
that led to the land of Israel
came face to face with the turn
ing point of her life. The vision
had come to her of new home
and a place among Gods people
and obedient to the aspirations
for a better life and holier
things, she started with her
mother-in-IaW, Naomi, and sister
ter-in-Iaw, Ruth, for the Prom
ised Land. Perhaps she and
Ruth during the sad days OF
their widowhood had talked over
together their plans. While
their hearts were bleeding and
tender there had come a yearn-
ing to know the God whom their
husbands had known, and
served, and with 1t had come
the resolve that they would
cEeave unto the mother-in-law,
Naomi, as the one who could
guide their feet into the way
and blessing of God.
; So they had gone forth with
Naomi and had come to the bor-
; derIand of Israel. There Naomi
paused and wisely tested the
sincerity of purpose of the two
young women. They must count
the cost. 1t was no light thing
to choose God and Gods people
as future destiny. They must
realize that it meant separation
from the old life and hardships
in the new. In substance, Naomi
said to Ruth and orpha what
Jesus said to those who would
become his disciples. (which of
you," he exclaimed, after he had
declared that discipleship meant
cross-bearing and fellowship in
hardship and suffering, "intend-
ing to build tower, stitch not
down first, and counteth the
cost, whether he have sufficient
to finish it. Lest hapIy, after
he hath laid the foundation, and
. he is not able to finish it, all
: that behold il begin to mock him,
saying: This man began to build,
and was not able to finish"
And orpha bid her m2ther-in-
law fearful adieu and turned
back. Turned back from the
lioht of which she had caught
!. a uIinmering. Turned back from
the higher purpose and destiny.
: Quenched the fIickering flame Of
spiritual aspirations, and turn
ed back to the old life and the
! old gods. Turned back TO be
: swallowed up by the world and
: the things of the world. This
: is the last word we ever hear of
: orpha. From that time forth
; she was counted out of Gods
. reckoning. We can imagine
what her life may have been
! after her return, and how when
the tidings came of the blessing
: and prosperity which had come
I to Ruth in the, to her, strange,
I far-off land of Israel, there must
} have come the smartings of dis
appointment and regret that she
had once been so near the bless
ing and had thoughtIessIy and
carelessIy let the treasure slip
! from her. "For of all sad words
: of tongue or pen, the saddest are
: these: 1T might have been!'"
; Orpha and Ruth stood side by
side that day at the dividing
; line between the world and God.
Orpha turned back, there ends
; the tale. Ruth went on, and to-
day we are rejoicing in the
; Christ who was of the house
and lineage of David, whose
; grandfather Obed was the son
of Ruth and Boaz.
