ItD EYOND Jordan will I meet thee
ID and take thee from earth to
heaven"
Elijah started up and lsoked about
to see from whence the voice came,
and then az his spiritual perceptions
asserted themselves and he realized
the import of that voice, he sank back
into his seat, and listened eagerly,
every faculty quickened into nervous
expectancy.
Again came the voice. repeating the
message:
Beyond Jordan will I meet thee
and take thee from earth TO heaven"
Then all was still and to the
startled prophets ear there came no
further word. As the tenseness Of
his faculties relaxed, he bowed his
head and whispered:
"It is the same voice which spoke
to me on Mount Horeb."
beyond Jordan win meet thee
and take thee from earth to heaven,
softly repeated Elijah, struggling to
grasp the meaning Of the words. AT
last after all the years Of waiting
since God had said that his mission
should end and Elisha should be
prophet in his room the final sum
mons had come.
He was going to meet his God.
Nearly ten years had passed now
since In discouragement and doubt
and fear he had fed into the wilder
ness and then been led by God to the
mount where God had spoken will
him. Never for . moment since ther
| had the consciousness left him OF th'
| immanence Of God and Of the un
certainty and temporarily Of his posi-
tion as prophet in Israel. 1t was Al

termination Of his mission and wa

authority to the one who should be

n one were disposed to doubt
the reality Of the translation Of
Enoch concerning whom Scrip
ture saith "that he walked with
God and God took him." we have
In this incident Of the transia-
tIon Of Elijah undIsputable evil
dence Of the supernatural ex-
odus Of the prophet from this
life to the life beyond, for Elisha
was not only an eye witness to
the glorious event, but the so
strong men sent out by the sons
Of the prophets at Jericho
searched carefully for three
days and were unable to find the
least trace Of the missing
prophet.
This Incident offers clear and
satisfactory evidence Of three
wonderful truths taught by Gods
word:
First. That heaven 10 . real
place, more real and enduring
than the earth upon which man
lives and moves, for body OF
flesh and blood such as Elijah
took with him out Of this life
into tho life beyond must oc-
cupy space and must have
realm In which to continue It's
life and activity.
Second. That this life does
not end all but that beyond the
span OF the human life there Is
q gIorIfied existence with God
which Is without end, for over
900 years after Elijah was
caught UP Into heaven we find
him coming with Moses to the
mount Of TRANSPORTATION there
to talk with Jesus the Christ
concerning the supreme sacrl-
flee which he was to mako for
the sin OF the world.
Third. That tho resurrection
Of the body taught so positively
by Scripture 10 TO be literal.
There are at least three In
heaven to-day who have their
giorIfied bodies, Enoeh, Elijah
and Jesus. Enoch and Elijah
never tasted death nor passed
through the grave, which was a
miraculous exception to the nat
urai processes Of the human life.
But In Jesus we find one who
has gone down Into the grave
and has come up out OF the
grave. having the body Of flesh
and blood transformed and glori-
fled for entrance to the realm Of
the blessed Of God. And that
II was the same body which he
had had before death, only
changed, was proven over and
over again during those 40 days
In which Jesus walked, and
talked, and ate with his dis
cipIes.
Let us hold to these three pre-
clous truths. Let US In faith
rejoice In their most blessed
reality, and let US live as though
we really believed that heaven
Is our home, that we are TO live
In Gods presence eternaIly and
that for that heavenly existence
we are to have tho changed and
oIorifIed bodies Of this life.

TORTURED SIX MONTHS
BY Terrible itching Eczema-eaby's
Suffering Was Terrible Soon
Entirely Cured by Cuticura.

Eczema appeared on my sons face.
We went to a doctor who treated him
for three months. Then he was so bad
that his face and head were nothing
but one sore and his ears looked as il
they were going to fall off, SO we tried
another doctor for four months, tho
baby never getting any better. His
hand and legs had big sores on them
and the poor little fellow suffered so
terribly that he could not sleep. After
he had suffered six months we tried
a set of the Cuticura Remedies and
the first treatment let him sleep and
rest we'll; in one week the sores were
gone and in two months he had a clear
face. Now he is two years and has
never had eczema again. Mrs. Louis

DeviIed Kidneys,

Hoping to give variety in meats, the
housewife will try to make her fam
lily eat kidney-generally without sue
cess. The following is, perhaps, the
best way to serve them:
Put two ounces of butter in the
saucepan, and when hot add the meat,
chopped fine and busted with pepper.
Cook quickly. Pour over this a table
spoon of Worcestershire sauce, one of
onion juice and a dash of sherry.
Garnish with cheese-the latter to be
served directly on the meat. This
preparation sounds troublesome, and
a trlfe expensive, but kidneys are
cheap and nourishing and afford a
much desired variety.

CAUSE AND EFFECT
Good Digestion Follows Right Food.

Indigestion and the attendant dis
comforts of mind and body are GER
tain to follow continued use of improp-
er food.
Those who are still young and
robust are likely to overlook the fact
that, as dropping water will wear a
stone away at last, SO will the use of
heavy, greasy, rich food, finally cause
loss of appetite and indigestion.
Fortunately many are thoughtful
enough to study themselves and note
the principle of Cause and Effect in
their daily food. A N. Y. young wom-
an writes her experience thus:
Sometime ago I had a lot of trouble
from indigestion, caused by too rich
food. / got SO I. was unable to di-
gest scarcely anything, and medicines
seemed useless.
"A friend advised me to try Grape
Nuts food, praising it highly, and as

French M ustard.

The ordinary bottled mustard spoils
so easily that even the cheap bottles
are expensive, and certainly not SO
good as the homemade article. Yet
if mixed in a hurry, just the mustard
and vinegar, it is too strong, with no
flavor. The French recipe is as fol-

teaspoon vinegar, put on the stove
and stir until it thickens.

little collection of novels, with about
most south of any community on this
globe. 1t is situated In the straits OF
Magellan. a narrow channel about $40
miles long. between the bleak and bar
ren shores of Patagonia and Terra

is generally believed by naval author
tiles to be the most hazardous portion
of the long journey of the fleet. Rum
ors of secret attempt to destroy the
battleships, which apparently had
origin in England. give the straits as
the place where the attempt would
most likely be made. These rumors
are discredited by naval men, who de-
clare that all such stories were man
ufactured out of whole cloth by sen
sational Partisan newspapers.
