"Why speak we not word OF
bringing the king back?"-Sad
that the king has been forced to
flee; but sadder still is it that
the people are slow to bring him
back.
What a picture we have here
of the human heart and its re-
iations to its Lord and King,
Jesus Christ.
The alIuring voice of self-in-
diligence and sin speaks in the
ear and It steals away our
hearts from loyalty to the true
King.
The next step in the down.
ward course is open rebellion
against the rule Of the true and
riehtfuI King.
The king is driven forth. One
cannot read the chapter re-
counting David's departure from
Jerusalem without an over
whelming sense of the sadness
and shame of it all. But how
infinitely more tragic and sad
is it when the King of kings and
Lord Of lords is forced to flee
fror, the rebeilious heart!
And when the fires of sin
have burned themselves out and
the heart feels its desolation
and loss, what reproach it is
that there is no move to bring
the King back and reestablish
him upon the throne!
The King cannot come except
by invitation. He may not be
far away. Nay, Scripture giveth
the Kings own words:
"Behold, ! stand at the door
and knock" he says. He waits
on the threshold. The heart
must say: "Come in"
Think of what Jerusalem was
without its king. The palace
of cedar deserted, and the
city without ruler to whom
they could turn for advice and
help. ..
Think Of the human heart
without its King. The temple
which God has created as his
own peculiar dwelling place
empty, or worse, occupied by
self, and the whole life drifting
without the master hand of the
Pilot to steer clear of the rocks
and the shadows upon which so
many lives are shipwrecked.
Let US go, then, at once and
call back our King.
How many times daily are
we forced to do this very thing?
Neglect. or conduct that is
worse, drives forth the King,
and we must turn and invite
him again to enter, in order that
we may sup with him and he
with US.

TUMoRS CONQUERED
Overwhelming Proof that Lydia E. Pnkham's
Vegetable Compound Succeeds

One of the greatest triumphs Of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound is the conquering of womans
dread enemy Tumor.
The growth of tumor is so in
sidious that frequently it's presence
is wholly unsupported until it is well
advanced.
So called wandering pains" may
come from its early stages or the
presence of danger may be made
manifest by excessive monthly peri
DDS accompanied by unusual pain, from
the abdomen through the groin and
thigh.
If you have mysterious pains, if
there are indications of inflammation
or displacements, secure a bottle of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, made from native roots and
herbs, right away and begin it's use.
The following letters should con-
vince every suffering woman of it's
virtue, and that it actually does
conquer tumors.
Mrs. May Fry, of S36 w. Colfax
Ave, South Bend, Ind, writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
Il take great pleasure in writ
ing to thank you for what Lydia e.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has
done for me. l also took the Blood
Purifier in alternate doses with the
Compound. Your medicine removed a
cyst tumor of four years growth,
which three of the best physicians
declared I had. They had said that
only an operation could help me- I am
very thankful that followed friends
advice and took your medicine. 1t has
made me strong and we'll woman
and l shall recommend it as long as
l live"
Mrs. E. F. Hayes, of 26 Ruggles St.,
Boston, Mass. writes:

relief. They told me l had a4fibroid
tumor, my abdomen was swollen and

to you for advice, you replied and 1
followed your directions carefully and
to-day | am well woman. Lydia e.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound ex-
PEELED the tumor and strengthened my
whole system"
Mrs. S. ]. Barber, of Scott, NJ Y,
writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
Sometime ago l wrote you for
advice about tumor which the doc
tors thought would have to be removed
Instead l took Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and to-day am
well woman
Mrs. M. M. Funk, Vandergrift, Pa,
writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
Il had tumor and Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound removed
it for me after two doctors had given
me up. l was sick four years before /
began to take the Compound / now
recommend Lydia E. Pinkhams Veget-
able Compound far and near"
Such testimony as above is con-
vincing evidence that Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound stands
without peer as a remedy for Tumor
Growths as well as other distressing
ills of women, and such symptoms as
Bearing Sensations, Displace-
ments, Irregularities and Backache,
etc. Women should remember that it
is Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound that is curing so many women.
Don't forget to insist upon it when
some druggist asks you to accept
something else which he calls "just
as good"

Nut Growing Industry of the South.

"Nut growing is comparatively
new industry in the south Atlantic
and Gulf states, but it promises to de-
velop into one of the most important
in that section" said ]. 2. Reid, a
prosperous planter of Florida. 1.-The
most popular nut is the pecan, and its
popularity is probably due to the de-
velopment of systematic methods of
grading it and cracking it with ma
chinery operated by steam or electric
power. This makes possible the mar
keting of the meats of the nut ready
for use.
'The demand is always much great
er than the supply and many planters
are now turning their attention to the
nut raising industry. 1t is not I'M
common for tree to bear as high as
200 pounds of nuts in one season and
most of these sell at from 60 to 70
cents a pound 1t does not require
much figuring to show that the pecan
orchards which abound in some sec.
tons are paying investments"

THE STORY.

MOT until after the news of the death
Nv of Absalom and the utter failure
of the rebellion which had at the first
been managed so brilliantly and sue
cessfully did the people of Israel and
Judah realize the enormity of their
wrong doing. Then they wondered
how they could have been SO easily led
astray, and contention arose among
the people, each charging the other
with responsibility for the misstep
They saw now how vain and ambitious
fellow the man Absalom had been:
how little of real worth there was to
be found in him, and they saw also
as never before the sterling qualities
of their aged king, and appreciated
how much was owing to him for the
nations greatness and prosperity.
During those days of darkness, and
doubt, and uncertainty, memory was
busy, and the people recalled Davids
mighty deeds, from the first encounter
with the giant Goliath to the many
brilliant campaigns through which he
had led his armies. When had the
nation had such a deliverer as David
had been? When had they ever had
such leader as David, since the time
of Moses and Joshua? Where was
there a ruler in all the nations about
so faithful to his people, and so loyal
to God? He had kept the nation free
from idolatrous practices of the ma
tons about. He had organized and
solidified the nation as a whole as it
had never been before. He had made
the name of Israel to be honored and
feared among the nations about.
And with the reaction which began
in the nation following the collapse
of Absalom's rebellion the memory of
all these things swept over the minds
of the people, and the question arose
on every hand:
What shall be done?'
The king had been driven forth.
What was now to be done? Shame at
their disloyalty, and anxiety over the
consequences of their wrong doing
gave rise to wranglings and disputings
among themselves, and added to the
confusion of the situation.
Some there were-perverse and re-
bellious spirits-who set themselves to
plotting further mischief. Absalom
was dead, to be sure, but the spirit
of Absalom still was at work in their
hearts and far from longing for the re-
turn of King David, they secretly set
themselves to further insurrection. The
king was old, and could not be with
them many years longer. He had
lost his grip on things. He had been
driven out of the royal city. Why
again saddle the aged king upon
them? Let him remain in exile.
They would seek out another who
should rule
This new conspiracy was strongest
among certain of the tribes of Ben
jamin, prominent among whom was
Sheba. the son of Bichri. But among
all the tribes of Israel there were NAL
contents, who were only waiting the
call of leader to make fresh rupture
in the nation.
Such was the chaotic state of the
nation while the old and sorrow-strick-

team went to Newark last night,
where It met the high school team
OF that city and in one of the fastest
games of the season went down IN
defeat by the score of % TO so. The
defeat of the local champions was
solely due TO the size of tho hall
where the game was pulled of. 1t
was so small that there was abso-
lutely no chance for team work and
as there was no out-of bound lines,
the Newark lads easily worked the
wall-blocking tricks and in this way
managed to gain possession of the
ball most Of the time.
Marions losing to Newark last
night will not lose them the cham
pionship as that aggregation hasn't
defeated scarcely any OF the fast
teams and has proved easy money

has defeated. Marion has challenged
Newark TO a game TO be played here
