The Doctors Fee.

The average man will give a lawyer
$500 to $500, together with a lifetime's
praise, to keep him out of the peniten-
tiary for from two to ten years, and at
the same time he will raise a phos-
phorescent glow and a kick that can
be heard around the world if a doctor
charges him $50 to 500 to keep him
out of hell for lifetime. We are the
only people under Gods ethereal tent
to-day who keep open shop "a hours
each day and 365 days in each year.
We are also the only laborers to keep
on working for people who do not pay.

THE STORY.

IF JEREMIAH had hoped when he
4 was carried down into Egypt with
the people under Johanan that there
would be a turning of the people back
to God and longing for return to
Jerusalem, he was forced to abandon
such thought after few months So
journ in the land of the Pharaohs. On
utter abandon of the Jews to the
Egyptian influences. Partly to ingrati-
ate themselves into the favorable con-
sideration of the Egyptians and partly
to crafty an intensely religious ma
ture which demanded some form of

gods Of the Egyptians and they be-

of these gods, burning incense and

ros, where the Jews had settled, the
same conditions prevailed, as Jeremi-
nh the prophet discovered as he
passed from place to place and beheld
the idolatrous practices of the Jews.
1t seemed as though the heart of the
prophet would break with it's burden
of sorrow at the sights which he be-
held-God seemingly was utterly for
gotten, and only the names of the gods
of the Egyptians were upon the lips of
the Jews.
Perhaps we shall yet be able to
turn them from their EVIL ways and
bring them back to the worship of the
true Cod" he urged wistfully to him
self one day as he pondered over the
situation. After all, / am glad that
Johanan laid violent hands upon me
and dragged me thither, for alone

would give me his message to speak"
But of what use is it to speak?"

Outline of the Prophecies of jeremiah
The natural grouping of the prophecies
as suggested by Bunsen and Ewald is
that which Is marked by the recurrence
of the formula, THE word of the Lord
came to jeremiah" and is as follows:
Chapter 1-1ntroduction. Chapters 2-21-
Probably the roll written by Baruch
t36:S2) after the roll read in the ears of
Jehoiakim had been burnt by him. Chap
tiers 22-25-Shorter prophecies delivered
against the kings of Judah and false
prophets. Chapters 25-2S-Two great
prophecies of the fall of Jerusalem.
Chapters 29-31-The message of comfort
for the eXfles In Babylon. Chapters 32-44
History of the last two years before the
capture of Jerusalem. Chapters 46-5l-
Prophecies against foreign nations, end
ing with the great predictions against
Babylon. Chapter 52-Supplementary mar
rative which is also a preface to Lamen-
tations. which book is an appendix to the
book of jeremiah in the shape of an ode
full of pathetic tenderness. The genu-
ineness of the book of jeremiah has
never been seriously questioned, neither
can the date be doubted

SERM ONETTE.

Disloyal to their God in their
own land, the Jews fell easy vic
Tins to the influences with
which they found themselves
surrounded in Egypt, and it was
not long before they were in
duIging in all the dolatrous
practices of the Egyptians, burn
ing incense to the queen of
heaven and pouring out drink
offerings unto her.
Then the word of the Lord
came to jeremiah concerning
all of the Jews that dwelt in
Egypt.
Note two things:
First. The mercy and long,
suffering kindness of God in
seeking to turn his people from
their evil ways. Despite their
wicked refusal to listen to his
voice and not go down into
Egypt, he goes after the wan
dering sheep there and strives
to bring them back to himself.
God never gives up soul until
the utmost effort on his part
has been exhausted to win it
} back to the paths Of righteous
ness. Remember that.
Second. Johanan's evil pur-
pose in dragging jeremiah off
to Egypt turns to the bringing
about of good. Jeremiah in
Egypt will not be silent, and
there amidst the wickedness of
the Jews he lifts his voice
against their idolatrous prac-
tees, and warns them of the
awful evils that are to come
upon them because of their
wrong doing.
Notice, also, as you read this
forty-fourth chapter, the reply
which the people make to Jere-
miah, betokening the depths
spiritually to which they had
fallen. Before they had come
into Egypt they had spoken of
"our God" and had excused
their refusal to obey the words
of Jeremiah by declaring that
he, the prophet, had spoken
falsely. But now, after per-
haps years sojourn in Egypt,
they go many lengths farther
and bIasphemousIy declare
that blessing came not from
God, but from the queen of
heaven. Thus regulating God,
they step over the line, where
it only remains for God to bring
final Judgment upon them.
1t is a solemn fact that there
does come time in Gods deal
ings with every heart when the
Spirit of God speaks it's final
word of entreaty. When such
time comes, then nothing re-
mains for that soul but the day
of judgment and the condemna-
ton of God, as he shall say:
depart from me-"

Eczema is Now Durable.

A ST. Louis chemist, after many
years of careful experimenting and in
vestigation, has discovered simple
remedy that has cured hundreds of
cases of eczema that had been pro-
nounced incurable. This chemist be-
lieved that eczema and all itching
skin diseases were of local origin and
were caused by germs which attacked
and fed on the skin. He began to
search for remedy that would de-
stroy these germs, ana found that by
combining the active principles of GER
tain well known vegetable drugs, and
applying them locally, the first appli
cation stopped the itching and burn
ing, and if used persistently would
drive all germs and their poisons to
the surface of the Skin, and destroy
them, leaving a nice, clear, healthy
skin. He gave this remarkable rem.
edy the suggestive name of Zemo
and since its introduction to the pub
|lic Zemo has proved a very popular
remedy and is today recognized the
most successful and meritorious rem
edy ever produced for the relief and
cure of eczema and all diseases Of
the skin and scalp.
Harper House pharmacy endorses
and recommends Zemo and says thai
they believe Zemo to be an homes
medicine. and will do all that is claim
ed for it.
