1t is the most Scientific" paint there
is, because it is made on the spot to
suit the particular purpose for which
1t is to be used. 1t is as scientific as
a good Doctors prescription. If the
painter did not mix it thus it would
be as unscientif1c as a patent medi-
cine. Moreover, the paint which q
good painter turns out is made Of
genuine white lead and pure linseed
Oil. If he does not mix it himself he
is not sure what is in it, and conse-
quently his client cannot be sure.
AS for not being thoroughly mixed
by machinery, that is simply a mis-
statement. White Lead as made by

Money spent for tones" and "brac-

poor old stomach is loaded with pas

pocketbook containing the money.
If the money only is lost it's bad

wrong eating, it is hard to make the
money back.
A Mich. young lady lost money on
drugs but is thankful she found a
way to get back her health by proper
food. She writes:
Il had been victim of nervous dys-
pepsia for six years and spent three
hundred dollars for treatment in the

me any good.

An Undesirable Article.

When Mr.. B. went to call upon some
friends the other afternoon, he was on
his way out of town and SO had his
travelling bag with him. This he
placed in a corner, and when he rose
to leave he overlooked it. His hostess
happened to notice it before he had
reached the door, and called to her
little daughter:
Marie, run after Mr.. B. and tell
him he has left his grip here!"
The little one gave her mother one
swift glance of surprise, but flew duti-
fully to obey orders.
"Oh, Mr.. B." they heard her say,
mother says you have forgotten to
take your grip with you" Then she
added, quickly, in a tone of polite
apology: "You see, most all of us
have had it this winter, and we'd
rather not have any more!"

THE STORY.

IN A certain village in the land OF
! Israel in the time Of Elisha the
prophet there lived widow and her
two sons upon whom great trouble
haG fallen. She was in debt and the
next day the creditor was coming to
drag her two sons into bondage be.
cause she was unable to pay him the
money that was due him, for it was
law in Israel that the creditor was
entitled to claim the person and the
children of the debtor,
Only the day before the widow had
been to the house of the creditor, and,
falling in anguish at his feet, had i'm
plored that he wait vet a little longer
and she would try to pay the debt.
But he had turned deaf ear to her
pleading and with brutal bluntness
had told her that on the morrow he
would come to take her boys to be his
bond-serVants.
Broken hearted and discouraged she
had returned to the little bare cot
tage. 1t was dear spot to her, for
there she had lived with her husband
and sons for many years. The husband
and father had belonged to the priest
ly order, and although in the low spsr-
itual condition of the nation he had
had hard work to secure a living. sill
by careful managing and subsisting
on the plainest and coarsest of food,
they had managed to get along. Then
had come the great sorrow into the
home, the death of the husband and
father, and with their only means of
support gone they soon found them
selves in sore straits, and gradually
heavy debts had accumulated until
new the creditor was about to take
her sons into bondage, to satisfy his
claims.
"Only one more night" she thought,
tearfully, as she gathered her two
boys about her and tried to tell them
as gently as possible that they must
leave her on the morrow.
"But we don't want to go, mother.
why can't we stay with your" ex-
claimed the older boy, while the
younger brother chung with his arms
about his mothers neck and sobbed
as though HIS heart would break.
Because, my son, the creditor viii
wait no longer for the money we owe
him, and the law Of Israel gives him
the right to take thee to satisfy the
debt"
'Then it's bad law" cries the
younger boy, lifting his head from his
mothers shoulder and stopping his |

Professors Son Translated Fathers
Speech Into the Vernaeuiar.

A college professor, in company
with his son, was enjoying a walk in
the country, when he met an old
farmer. 1t had been a very wet sea-
son, and the professor, thinking to
start the conversation in way that
would prove interesting to the farmer,
remarked:
There has been rather abnormal
precipitation of late"
The farmer seemed somewhat EN-.
barrassed, and the professors son,
who used different vernacular,
theessh he was a student In the college
to which his father was attached, at
tempted to straighten out the matter.
Drawing the farmer to one side, he
said in superior way:

been having devil of lot of rain"

1t Is our capacity to receive

The empty vessels of the

can supply.
Again the empty vessels may

haust the human ability to help
! before God could begin to do
his part.
1t lie only the empty vessel
for which God has need. Sup
! pose, now, that the widow,
whose poverty and need un-
I doubtedly were known, had been
offered vessels full of various
things to eat, and being content
with the possessions In sight,
she had not let faith look toward
the blessing which God had to
give, think how much she
would have missed. But is It
not 90 with US? We take the
vessels filled with the worlds
offerings and have not room for
that greater blessing which God
would give.
The widow in her need turned
to God first and then to her
neigilhors. How often in our
troubles we reverse the order,
exhausting every human appeal
for help before seeking God and
his blessing.
The cody life Of the departed
father was the best legacy
which he could leave to his wife
and two sons. The pathway Of
faith which he had Travelled
pointed out the way they should
go In time of need.
The devil, like the creditors
of this poor widow, is standing
waiting before the hearts door,
eager to seize upon it's dearest
treasures, but there is nothing
to fear as the soul looks up and
knows that Jesus has paid all
the debt.
