glorious principles of the Christian religion.
That we may recognize, admire and adopt this exceedingly beau
tnul example as our mode, st. Luke has presented in the text, for our
prayerful consideration and careful emulation, five elements Of Gods
ideal of human life, viz:
Frst-Fiial obedience. Jesus of Nazareth was subject unto his
parents, Joseph and Mary, and thus from the very divinity of his nature
he has furnished the world the most marvellous example of fhal ODE
dience conceivable.
God has planted in every human heart a reverenhal feeling toward
those to whom we owe our lives, in consequence of birth and the preser-
walton of our natural lives.
Second-Growth in wisdom. Jesus advanced in wisdom. The au-
thontes tell us that wisdom is the quality of being wise; knowledge, and
the capacity to make due use of it; the use of the best means for the
accomplishment of the greatest good.
1t is a lamentable fact that a great part of the lives of the great
majority of the young people of to-day are spent in folly and frivolty,
and multiplied thousands that are building their hopes of happiness for
this life and heaven in eternity re building on foundations of sand.
Third-Physcal development. Jesus advanced in stature He COM
piled with the conditions of physical growth and grew up to be a per-
feet man.
A child properly placed, living in harmony with divine law, appro-
priahng his privileges of development, as the lilies of the field appro-
pirate the sunshine, rain, dewdrops, gases of the atmosphere and fer
tilHy of the soil, converting them into beauty and fragrance, will never
fail to increase in stature. ,g
y Fourth-Development of character. And Jesus advanced in favor
with God.
Dr. Wheeden appropriately remarked that, Though the entire be-
ing of Jesus was in favor of God, yet as that being increased in amount
the amount of favor increased proportonatey"
Fifth-Growth in reputation. And Jesus advanced in favor with
His reputation was what others thought of him Even the rude
and rugged hghlanders of Nazareth and the regions roundabout were
constrained to feel sofened toward him, in consequence of his genial
nature and lovely disposition. He let his divine light shine, and men
saw his good works and were convinced that never man spake like the
young Nazarene and that no character within their knowledge approx
mated the charming character of the unassuming, sweetspirited son 81
Mary. The common people heard him gladly.

her hands, came in. 1.-THE cook" whis.
pered Fannie.
"Oh, the blessed Aister!" exclaimed
the woman. I'D clean forgot 1t till
l see the flowers; would yez give
me n or two to keep me moinded
of it?"
Trims s%plindid," she continued
when Martha had given her some
snowy clusters; I'll lave EN- have a
mug of water on the kitchen shelf,
and I'll put a bit of short'nen in the
bread this mint, to CELEBRATE the day
jist. The paupers'll be glad of that, l
ken tell yez."
Cherry had finished washing the
plates, and she conducted them to a
fight of stairs and along a corridor
Curious faces looked at them from
the little rooms on each side. Egbert
and Fannie stopped at each to distrib-
ute flowers and Easter eggs.
In the hall near the consumptives'
room they passed a group of sallow,
wretched looking women, N of them
holding in her arms a curly-haired
child, She's nigh about gone" said
one; she don't know the child"
Doctor says she can't last long"
said another. Hear how she keeps
calling Jennie"
A feeble voice was indeed repeating
that name Owe and over-the voice
of a wasted woman stretched on a low
bed.
Martha had never known that the
human frame could become so attenu-
ated and life remain.
Don't come in," she said, turning
quickly to Egbert and Fannie. There,
go out in the yard and teach Cherry
an Easter hymn" a
The children obeyed and she en-
tered the sick-room alone. Never had
she so longed to comfort a fellow
creature, SO felt herself so powerless.
1t wrung her heart to hear that plead
ing, oft-repeated cry for Jennie"
Moved by a sudden impulse, she
kneeled by the bed, took the thin hand
in hers, and whispered: Yes, yes,
what is it? What can l do?"
The soft touch more than the whis-
per seemed to soothe the sufferer.
ooh. Jennie" she said, have you
come at last? l knew God would send
you, I prayed so long"
Martha only replied by a gentle
pressure of the hand, and after a lit
tie rest the woman went on:
ut was the water, dear; the cruel
flood that took our home away. John

CATARRH MADE LIFE
A BURDEN TO Me-.

MISS ANNIE CATRON, 927 Main
AVA St., Cincinnati. Ohio, writes:
"As l have found Peruna n blessing
for a severe case Of catarrh Of the head
and throat which l suffered from for q
number of years, I am only too pleased
to give it my personal endorsement.
"Catarrh, \snch as l suffered from,
made life a burden to me, my breath
was offensive, stomach bad, and my
head stopped up SO that / was usually
troubled with a headache, and although
l tried many so-called remedies, moth
Ing gave me permanent relief. l was
rather discouraged with all medicines
when Peruna vas suggested to me.
However, l did buy u bottle, and be-
fore that was finished there was q
marked change in my condition. Much
encouraged l kept on until l was com.
piefeiy cured in a months time, and I
find that my general health is also ex-
cellent."
People who prefer solid medicines
should tryPeruna tablets. Each tablet
represents one average dose of Peruna.
