Cure to Cuticura.

Several months ago, my little boy
began to break out with itching sores.
l doctored him, but as soon as l got
them healed up in one place they
would break out in another. l was
almost in despair. l could not get
anything that would help him. Then
/ began to use Cuticura Soap and Cuti-
cura Ointment, and after using them
three times, the sores commenced to
heal. He is now well, and not a scar
is left on his body. They have never
returned nor left him with bad blood,
as one would think. Cuticura Rene
dies are the best l have ever tried,
and shall highly recommend them to
any one who is suffering likewise.

The Sailors Prayer Book.

This is what you call the sailors

as he kicked holystone out of the
way. why is it called that? Well, in
the first place it is called that because
in using it, in holystoning the deck
the sailor has to kneel down, and in
the second place, because all holy.
stoning is done on Sunday. Don't
you know the chantey?-
Six days shalt,thou work and do all that
thou art able,
And on the seventh holystone the decks
and scrape the cable.
'"The stone is called holystone be-
cause the first holystones were bits
of tombs stolen from cemeteries It's
got a pious, religious sound-holy, and
prayer book, and Sunday and all that
but it is when he is using this stone
that the seaman is most profane."

SERMONETTE.

After Nebuchadnezzar had
stripped Jerusalem of her treas
ure, and had taken the best of
the people captive to Babylon,
he placed Gedaliah over the few
who had been left to care for
the land and dress the vine
yards. A few months after this
Ishmael formed plot, muir
dered Gedalah and assumed
control, and then entered into
an agreement to deliver all the
people into the hands of the
Ammonites. Johanan and
band of men who had escaped
} lshmaePs murderous hand, bold
ly attacked the latter as he was
on his way to the Ammonites,
recovering the spoil and the
people and returning with them
} to Jerusalem. Johanan then
became governor over the city,
and fearing the wrath of Neb-
, uchadnezzar because of the
i things which had been hap
pening at Jerusalem, he de-
termined to flee into Egypt.
But before doing so he and the
people sought the advice of the
! Prophet Jeremiah, declaring SOL
EMMY: I'VE will obey the voice
of the Lord our God, to whom
we send thee" Ten days later
t jeremiah brings them Gods
message, commanding them to
remain in Jerusalem and prom
ising to protect and prosper
, them, but warning them that if
they went into Egypt, they
should perish by the sword,
famine and pestiIence. Then
! Johanan and the people repu-
, dated the prophet, charging
that he had spoken lie and
not Gods message, and forth
, with they seized him and forced
him to accompany them into
Egypt.
Such was the apparent re-
ward for standing with God and
t speaking his message. Did it
pay?
Temporarily, perhaps, no.
From the standpoint of eternity,
yes.
Hesitate, then, not to speak
Gods word, because you feel or
know it will not be received.
Speak it because it is Gods
truth, and must finally pre-.
i vail.
How many Johanans there
are in the world to-day. Con-
{, scious they are of the need of
) Divine wisdom and guidance,
) but wilIful. Pretending to be
} DESTROYS of knowing Gods mes
( sage until that message runs
counter to their own purposes
or ambitions, and then ready to
J justify their point of view by
repudiating Gods message. To
{ such there remains but one re-
5 suit. Human failure, and Dr.
vine judgment.

THE STORY.
lSTHOU speakest falsely"

UTHOU speakest falsely"
i Like the keen blade of a knife
the words cut through to the very
depths of Jeremiah's heart. Silently,
but with a look upon his face which
told of the depth of agony which
surged within, the prophet turned
from the group of men standing be-
fore him and walked away. Further
protest or pleading ON his part were
useless. 1t was very plain that Jo-
hanan, the governor of Jerusalem, and
the band Of men with him, had not
wanted Gods message, but rather in
dorsement of the course which they
had determined to follow, and when
the word of God had been directly
counter to these plans, they had
turned upon the prophet, fiercely de.
nouncing him as false prophet, and
declaring vehemently:
1.-The Lord our God hath not sent
thee to say, Go not into Egypt to so.
journ there But Baruch, the son of
Neriah, setteth thee on against us,
for to deliver us into the hand of the
Chaldeans, that they might put us to
death, and carry US away captives
into Babylon"
Ten days before the scene with
which our story opens there had come
to Jeremiah deputation headed by
Johanan earnestly beseeching him
that he, the prophet, should seek the
presence of their God and learn his
will concerning the remnant which
still remained in Jerusalem And when
he had assented to do this thing for
them they had solemnly pledged to
obey, saying:
Whether it be good or evil, we
will obey the voice of the Lord our
God, to whom we send thee; that it
may be well with us, when we obey
the voice of the Lord our God"
And with these reassuring words
ringing in his ears, jeremiah had
withdrawn to a quiet retreat outside
the walls Of Jerusalem, whittier he

Prophecies of Jeremiah.-They are not

iects viz: 1. Warning to the Jews. 2. Sur
vey of all nations, with a historical ap-
pendix. 8. Prediction of brighter days to
come, with a similar appendix. 4. Prophe
cies regarding Egypt. The concluding
chapters from 51:34 are supposed to have
been compiled from the latter portions of
Kings, and may have been added by
Ezra. jeremiah was contemporary with
Zephaniah, Habakkuk, Ezekiel and Dan
el He foretold the precise date of the
Captivity, the fate of Zedekiah the re-
turn of the Jews from Babylon, and the
decay of that city. Tradition credits him
with burying the ark. He predicted the
abrogation of the Law and the Inaugural
ton of spiritual worship centering
around a Christ. He pictured the bless
ngs of the atonement, the call of the
Sentiles through the gospel, and the final
acceptance of the Jews. Jeremiah has
been called the weeping prophet because
