FOR THE QUIET HOUR.
o
THE PEOPLES FRIEND.

The common people heard Him gladly.
Three Syrian summers on the lake
And on the mountain side,
Men watched and weighed and tested Him
Whom last they crucihed;
The great men of the cities scorned
His mission and His claim
Who was this Christ of Nazareth?
This Man Of lowly name?
But when He walked amid the corn,
Or rested by the well,
Or paced the hot ways of their town
With ~wondrous things to tell,
Pathetic eyes were turned to Him
As careworn men passed by,
And when His gentle voice was heard, p
The wayfarers drew nigh.
They listened, and the darkened world
Grew fair with morning light;
From weary shoulders burdens rolled,
And life's dim ways were bright;
Hope touched the weary, wistful souls,
Darkened with sin and care,
And goodness was the hearts desire,
And speech was tuned to prayer.
Eyes, lighted with the new-found joy,
Were turned toward His face;
The common people had not known
Such dignity of grace;
And when He smiled and looked at them,
Seeing them sick and sad,
he loved. and healed, and pardoned theH,
Till they were strangely glad.
All. gracious Saviour of the world,
The people are the same,
The wistful, weary common-folk
Still need to know Thy name.
Why fail Thy messengers to cheer
The sin-sick and sad?
o.. teach them how to love, and make
The COMMON people glad!

themselves vigorously in the cam

Will You Take God at His Word?

Will you set to your seal that God
is true? Unbelief says, II won't"
Faith says, II will" Oh, may God
help you now to say, II will set to
my seal that God is true" this very
hour, and the moment you do that,
and put your faith in God, then
comes the peace, the happiness you
have been looking for so long!
1t is recorded in history that some
years ago a man was condemned to
be put to death. When he came to
lay his head on the block, the prince
who had charge of the execution
asked him If there was any one petit
ton that he could grant him. All
that the condemned man asked for
was a glass of water. They went and
got him a tumbler OF water, but his
hand trembled so that he could not
get the water to his mouth. The
prince said to him, Your life Is safe
until you drink that water" He took
the prince at his word and dashed
the water to the ground. They could
not gather it up, and so he saved his
life.
My friend, you "a be saved now
by taking God at His word. The wat
er Of life is offered to "whosoever
will" Take it now, and live. May
God give you grace to do so this mo-
ment! Let feelings go! Say in your
heart, 81 do believe, I will believe. l
now believe on the Lord Jesus Christ
with all my heart" and life everlast-
ing j; yours!-D. l.. Moody.

a long time than the words Of Charles

declining his second election to the
Episcopal bishopric Of Washington,

imbued with such sentiments and no.
BILE ideals surely has g mission to the
world:
1T is not that I fail to recognize
the splendor of the missionary oppor-
tunity in Washington, and the dignity
of the heritage which you bid me en-
ter-they inspire me; nor that I
shrink from the tasks and problems
of leadership which you invite me to
face in company with you-they chal-
lenge me; mol that I do not often
times yearn to serve the church in
the homeland again. am human.
But God charges me to-day-the NOR

tinue my witness to the high impor-
lance of the far-off mission Of the
church and the gravity of the nations

ing on the spot where I am"
This Is what makes men believe.
when they see the capacity for 'sacri-
fee that is ignorant of its own nobil-
1ty in the fervent love Of Christ. We
have had a few men in our Method
ism who have made the great renun-
citation, and we have been gazing
upon them in open-mouthed wonder.
It Is not well that sacrifice should call
for surprise. So usual is place-hunt-
ing, the quest of honors and emolu-
ments, that such reversion to the
Pauline type is uplifting and fine.
1t is a noble heritage and a splen-
did opportunity that invited him to
Washington. There Is indeed need
for leadership and high quality of
Guardianship at the nations capt.
tai, but doubtless he is right in his
estimate of the strategic value of the
Orient. Constructive Christian civiIi-
cation is possible as is evidenced by
Bishop Brent. At last the world
knows that in the Philippines Is a
man and the church; and the world
will not forget his splendid devotion
to duty in an age when the dollar has
dulled so terribly the ideals Of real

Middlebury women know how the
aches and pains that come when the kid

ache, hip pains, headaches, dizzy spells
distressing urinary troubles, all tell of
sick kidneys and warn you of the
stealthy approach of diabetes, dropsy
and Bright's disease. Doan's Kidney
Pills permanently cure all these disor-
ders. Here's proof of it in a Middlebury
womans words:
Mrs. o. A. Comstock, Green Street,
Middleburv, VT, says: "a few months
ago noticed that my kidneys were in a
disordered condition. There was con-
siderable pain in my back and various
other symptoms of kidney trouble.
Knowing of several people who had been
cured of this complaint by Doan's Kid
ney Pills, l resolved to try the remedy
and procured supply. Three boxes of
Doan's Kidney Pills effected such a
change in my condition that l did not
consider it necessary to continue their
use. l consider this preparation an ex-
cellent one for disordered Kidneys

SIMPLE WASH CURES
ECZEMA.
Why Salves Fail While a Simple
Liquid Has Accomplished
Thousands of Cures.

1t is now thoroughly established among
the best me dical authorities that eczema
is purely a skin disease, due to germ
and durable only through the skin. 1t is
not blood disease at all; in fact thou
sands of people suffer with skin disease
and are perfectly healthy otherwise, and
thereby prove they have no diseased
blood.
Simeary salves cannot reach the germs
because they do not penetrate the skin.
The only way to reach the germs is by
means of penetrating liquid.
Such liquid can be obtained by SIM
ply mixing ordinary oil of wintergreen
with thymol, glycerine and other healing
agents. This compound, known as D. D.
d. Prescription, stops the itch instantly
and the cures all appear to be permanent.
In fact, it took thousands of cures, case
after case, before the best scientific au.
thorities were convinced of the absolute
merit of this remedy. D. d. D. Pre-
scriptlon kills the germs in the itching
skin. It's effect is seen within one min.
ute after the first application. We es-
pecially recommend d. d. ID. Soap in
connection with this treatment.
