tency as to astonish even the most
skeptical, amongst that great class
known as the nervously exhausted.

dread. anxiety and general inability
to be happy or to act naturally and

A "Pot Luck" Dinner.

There is a housewife not far away
who calls herself the Cheerful Idiot"
because she is not feazed or put out
by emergencies.
o instance, one night last week a
guest, a comparative stranger. walked
in to dinner at six o'clock. The meal
was about to be put on the table-and
such a meal! Spare-ribs and sauer-
kraut.
Quickly these were taken from the
stove, coffee sprinkled on to disguise
the odOr of cabbage, and a minced
ham omelet made to take the place of
the awful spare-ribs. (There were. of
course, eggs and bacon in the house,
The despised cabbage was hidden and

place. There were potatoes, but no
dessert. The latter was quickly fixed
up with the following stale bread re-

To this day she wonders whether or
not the visitor smelled that cabbage.

TIE STORY.

For IS years now jeremiah the
/ prophet had been a keen observer
OF the reforms which the good King
Josiah had been carrying on. The lat
ter had vigorously purgcd Judah and
Jerusalem of the high places and the
groves and the carved images and the
molten images. He had broken down
the affairs Of Baalism and had made
dust of the craven images over the
graves of those who had sacrificed
unto them. He had burnt the bones
of the priests Of Baalim. And when
he had removed from the city and the
nation all traces of the idOlatrOus prac-
tees, he had caused the temple of
Jehovah to be repaired and had re
stored the priestly services there, and
then later he had caused a great eel
ebratiOn of the Passover feast to be
held, SO that it seemed that a great
revival was going to change the cur
rent of the life of the nation and
bring them back in loyalty to God.
Jeremiah the prophet, as we have
said, followed with keen interest all
those splendid reforms, and at their
beginning had been eager to throw
himself into the work until an incident
had occurred which had revealed to
him that both king and people were
building up q false hope of a restora-
ton of the nation to its old-time pow
er and greatness. Then i'll the seclu-
sion of his retreat Jeremiah sought
out the testimony of the Lord. and
there il had been revealed to him
that as Israel had gone into captivity,
SO Judah must ultimately be scat
tered as q nation.
And with such a message as this he
had gone to King Josiah. Strange,
indeed, would it have been had his
message been a welcome one. Strange
would it have been if the enthusiastic
young reformer had been willing to
accept the view that the work he
was performing for the nation must
necessarily be only Of a temporary
character, and that ultimately the ma
ton must suffer for the centuries of
evil which it hal wrought.
So it was that King Josiah chung
to his false hopes, and so it was that
jeremiah, really in sympathy with the
great work the king was doing. found
himself a student of the reform move
ment, rather than an active partici.
pant therein. Thus the years had
come and gone, and through those
years he had labored to bring the
king to see the truth as to the fate of
the nation as God had revealed it TO
him. But until the finding of the book
of the law during the repairing of the
temple The king would in no wise
listen 10 Jeremiah's words. How
ever, when he had heard the words
of the book he had been sore trou-
bled and had sent to Huldah, the
prophecies, to interpret the meaning
thereof. and she had sent back word,
saying:
