CRYING NEED, AS He SEES II.
Companion Of irritated Divines Came
to the Front with Order to
the Waiter.

Joaquin Miller is to establish a
colony of poets in Fruitvale, Cal. Mr..
Miller, discussing this colony recently,
said:
1--WE poets will, Of course, argue
and squabble. That will be delight
full. Arguments and sQuabbles over
Matthew Arnold, Swinburne, Tenny-
son, and Keats are pleasant and SEN
sible thinga, you know. They are
not like political or religious argu-
ments, which in their bitter rancor al
ways make me think of three Maine
divines.
while three Maine divines
supping together, two of them be-
gan to argue about the comparative
religious merit of the royal houses
of Stuart and Orange. The argument
became heated. The divines grew ex-
cited and angry.
civilian III. was a great rascal
roared the first, Is he struck the table
with his fist. "A great rascal, and /
spit upon his memory
"The second divine turning very
red, shouted:
"'No, it's James II. that was the
rascal. / spit upon his memory
"At this point the third divine rang
the bell, and said gently to the waiter:
"t%Spittoons for two, please"

The Melody of Life.

The desire of happiness, beyond all
doubt, Is a natural desire. 1t is the
law of life itself that every being
seeks and strives toward the perfection
of it's kind, the realization of its own
specific ideal in form and function.
and a true harmony with it's environ.
ment. Every drop of sap in the tree
flows toward foliage and fruit. Every
drop of blood in the bird beats toward
flight and song. In a conscious being
this movement toward perfection must
take a conscious form. This conscious
form is happiness-the satisfaction of
the vital impulse, the rhythm of the
inward life, the melody of a heart that
has found it's keynote. To say that
all men long for this is simply to con-
fess that all men are human, and that
their thoughts and feelings are an es-
sential part of their life. Virtue means
a completed manhood. The joyful
welfare of the soul belongs to the full
ness of that ideal. Holiness is whole
some. In striving to realize the true
aim of our being, we find the wish for
happiness implanted in the very heart
of our effort.-Henry van Dyke, D. d.

Scriptural Authority. q Chron..
chapter S3 and Apocryphal Book OF
Manassas Prayer.
Manasseh.-Or Manassas, as the name
Is given in the prayer of Manassas which
constitutes the twelfth book OF the
A~pocrypha, was noted in Jewish history
not only as having the longest reign OF
any monarch of the line of David. but
also as the most wicked. and although
we have the record of his repentance and
restoration by God to Jerusalem. he was
not buried in the sepulchers of the kings
but like Ahaz was buried in the garden
of Uzza and his name held in abhor-
renee because Of the b~lackness OF his
deeds, among the recorded sins being the
awful wickedness of giving his sons as
an offering to the fire god Moioch. me
record of his life is found in the 3Srd
chapter of Second Chronicles and In z
Kings. Idolatrous worship and prac-
tees were encouraged. The fires were
rekindled in the valley of Ben-Hinnom
The Baal and Ashtaroth ritual, which
had been imported under Solomon from
the Phoenicians, was revived with Iresh
%splendor. All this was accompanied py
the EXTREMIST moral degradation. EVERY
faith was tolerated but the old faith OF
Israel.

Our Eternal Possession.

Worldly fame must be cast away at
death. But there are some things that
we shall carry with us when we leave
friendships that we shall take. If we
are instrumental in the salvation of
some people, doubtless they will be
our especial friends in Heaven. If we
make Jesus Christ our friend, he will
meet us at death and take us to be
forever his guests, John 14:1-3. And
we shall take our characters with us,
whatever they may be. If a person
forms a character of selfshness, of
hatred of God and man and of the re-
straints of righteous law, OF If he
forms a character Of unselfshness, of
love for God and man, of thorough
obedience to the law of right, the law
of God, he shall take this character
with him when he departs this world.
Be it ours to make the latter our eter-
nal possession.

IN AGONY WITH ECZEMA.
Whole Body a Mass of Raw, Bleeding,
Torturing Humor- Hoped Death
Would End Fearful Suffering.
In Despair; Cured by cuticura.

"Words cannot describe the terrible
eczema / suffered with. 1t broke out
on my head and kept spreading until
it covered my whole body. l
was almost a solid mass of sores from
head to foot. I looked more like a
piece of raw beef than a human be-
ing. The pain and agony endured
seemed more than I could bear. Blood
and pus oozed from the great sore on
my scalp, from under my finger nails,
and nearly all over my body. My
ears were so crusted and swollen I
was afraid they would break OF.
Every hair in my head fell out. I
could not sit down, for my clothes
would stick to the ray and bleeding
flesh, making me cry out from the
pain. My family doctor did all he
could, but l got worse and worse. My
condition was awful. / did not think
l could live, and wanted death to
come and end my frightful su~fferings.
I'm this condition my ~mother-in-law
begged me to try the Cuticura Rem
edies. I said / would, but had no hope
of recovery. But oh, what blessed re-
lief I experienced after applying Cuti-
cura Ointment. 1t cooled the bleeding
and itching flesh and brought me the
first real sleep I had had in weeks. 1t
was as grateful as ice to a burning
tongue. / would battle with warm
water and Cuticura Soap, then apply
the Ointment freely. I also took Cuti-
cura Resolvent for the blood. In a
short time the sores stopped running,
the flesh began to heal, and / knew I
was to get well again. Then the hair
on my head began to grow, and in a
short time I was completely cured.
/ wish I could tell everybody who has
eczema to use C%uticura. Mrs. VIM.

THE STORY.
NYoT a friend was left to the king in
IN that dark hour.

ATOT a friend was left to the king in
IN that dark hour.
The strong army of the Assyrian
king had invested the city of Jerusa-
lem and assault after assault had
weakened the defense until it needed
but one more determined attack to
force the wall and take possession of
the city.
And the king?
Alone!
Not even did the priestly attend
ants of the gods he had so zealously
served stay to encourage or direct
him in his sore straits.
Whittier should he turn? Even
now from his palace windows he could
hear the fierce cries of the investing
army as they drew in closer and
closer about the walls and prepared
m concentrate their efforts against
the one weak point.
In desperation the king rushed from
one end of the palace to the other,
seeking first for some one to whom he
could look for guidance and help, and
then finding no one. searching each
nook and corner for a likely hiding
place.
mo, MOI impatiently he cried, after
irving a half dozen places, this will
never do. / will surely perish If
tarry here. But whittier shall ! go?"
and wringing his hands as he paced
to and fro he gave place to his de-
pair.
NAY, / cannot go forth in these
robes" he exclaimed as his glance
CHANGED to be directed downward and
he became conscious of the royal
robes he was wearing. Suitsng the
action to the words he began to strip
himself of his garments, and as he

"Be not deceived; God is MOI
mocked: for whatsoever a man
I soweth, that shall he also reap"
The story of Manassas sins,
; his severe punishment and his
} ultimate repentance and resto-
|. ration to Jerusalem Is but a
. repetition of the history OF the
} Jewish nation. Sin, punishment,
; repentance, forgiveness.
The rehearsal In Psalm 1o6 OF
the successive sins of the chill

; "They made a calf in Horeb,

: "Thus they changed their
I glory into the simiIitude of an

"Trey forgot God, their

"Yea, they despised tho pleas

Therefore he lifted up his

Acceptino our Crosses.

We may often think that if only we
are trying to be on Gods side we have
! right to be exempted from crosses,
Or at least, from spiritual temptations,
from GOODNESS in prayer, and from
evil imaginations. Why should we
think so? Gods love does not ex-
smpt us, any more than it did Christ.
