MY baby was about nine months
old when she had rash on her face
and feet. Her feet seemed to irritate
her most. especially nights. They
would cause her to be broken in her
rest, and sometimes she would cry
until she was tired out. / had always
used Cuticura Soap myself. and had
heard Of Sc many cures by the Cuti-
cura Remedies that / thought I would
give them a trial. The Improvement
was noticeable in a few hours, and
before ! had used one box of the Gu

and have never troubled her since. l
also used 1t TO remove what is known
as cradle cap" from her head. and
II worked like a charm. as It
cleansed and healed the scalp at the
same time. Now I keep Cuticura
Ointment on hand in case OF any
little rash or insect bites. as 1t takes

THE STORY.

GIN Is a treacherous guide. q mighty

ter. He leads by pleasant paths at
first to the ambuscade where the
soul is enmeshed and overthrow,
and then he turns as the hard task.
master and exacts his tribute.
Thus 1t was with the children OF
Israel. They did evil in the sight OF
the Lord and served Baalim. and for
sock the Lord God OF their fathers.
so that the Lord delivered them into
the hands of spoilers that spoiled
them and into the hands OF their
enemies round about. so that they
could not any longer stand before
them. and they were in great dis
tress.
Things had gone from bad to
worse until at last the king of Meso-
potamia had descended upon the land,
had %subdued the cities, and had ex-
acted a large tribute. which was
%grievous burden for the people TO
bear, And If the full mount Of the
treasure was not forthcoming he sent
his soldiers to force payment.
Now when the people OF Israel be-
gan first to mingle with the people
about them. there We're those in Is.
rael who raised the voice of warn.
ing and protest, that God had said
that they should have no Dealings
with the nations about them. but the
cry Of bigotry and narrow-mindedness
was raised, and the few found them
selves standing alone in their 10y
atty to God. They were branded as
cranks n enemies of the true prog.
ress Of the nation. and the progress.
i've and liberal element pointed to
the growing prosperity OF the nation
to prove that the free intercourse
with the neighboring nations was a
boon which 1t would be folly to cut
on.
Why should they be so short-sigh,.
ed as to lose the opportunities living
right at their door Of profitable
trade? Why should they not sell
to them what they could and buy
in return those things which seemed
desirable? Why should they hs so
straight-laced and exclusive? Had
not Moses and Joshua been altogeth.
er too strict? The nations about
were disposed to be friendly, and
why should they be any the less
kindly disposed towards them?
Thus the people reasoned, and
would not listen to the certain few
who strove TO stem the popular wide.
open policy. And not only did the
leaders among the liberals speak dis
p~aragingly OF these. but in various
ways they caused prosecutions to be
made upon them.
Now among those who had re-
NAMED true to the precepts and
teachings OF Moses and Joshua
and opposed the popular movement
was othniel, who in the days OF
Joshua had so bravely fought against
the strong cities of Canaan and had
overthrow by his W prowess Kir
