Free Laxative
 Cured Legions

Realizing how difficult it is to con- vince the average person that one remedy is different from another, even though recommended for the same purpose, and that where one fails the other may still succeed, the dispensers of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, the great herb laxative com- pound, have for several years sent free trial bottles of the remedy to any person who would send name and address.
 Through this offer many hundred Dr. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin has never been recommended for anything but such conditions as constipation, liver trouble, biliousness, sour stomach, indigestion, heartburn and similar symptoms of stom- ach. liver and bowel disease. That 1t will cure such troubles is attested by the experience of Mrs. Lydia Dixon, of Mingo, Ky. Mrs. N. Cunningham, of Talent, Ore, s. R. Tucker. of Hattiesburg, Miss, and . host of others. They originally sent for the free trial bottle, and then, being convinced that the remedy was helping chem, they bought the regular 5o-cent or Sl size bottle of their druggist, and in short while were cured.
 While pr. Caldwel's Syrup Pepsin is sold by druggists with the guarantee that 1t will do as claimed or money will be refunded, yet any reader suffering from . stomach, liver or bowel complaint is invited to write to Dr. Caldwell at the address below for free test bottle, which will be cheerfully sent We doubt if there 1s a laxative in America that. has so Dr. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin Owing to lts special ingredients 1t has proven 8 great life-saver of children, women and old folks.

Sunday School Lesson for Tomorrow Morning

Hypocrisy in Prayer.

That such thing as hypocrisy in pray
Ter is possible is the clearest demonstra-
ton of the depravity of the human heart.
Prayer is personal. 1t is the upspringing
the outgoing Of the soul to it's God. By
prayer the soul may revel In the ecstasies
of communion, 1t may be bathed in the
tears of pentience; or it may be pleading
for strength to bear burden, or to
fight a battle: in any case it is the souls
supreme concern, and its highest priv
ilege. To counterfeit this is madness; it
is an approach to direst devltry.
TITS true, it's pity;
And pity it's tbs true
Nothing is more common than hypoc-
risy in prayer. True. the form changes
with the ages. The old Jews prayed
upon the street corner and to be seer
OF men. So the Mohammedan will paus
in the sale of his wares when the hou
for prayer strikes. and. prostrating him
self upon the ground. will repeat HI
formula: There is no God but Allah. and
Mohammed Is His prophet" And so, too,
the Roman Catholic. Indifferent to the
crowd, will count her beads, and repeat
her pater nOsters.
The Protestant. however is not given
ostentatious praying. Sin takes many
forms. He goes to the opposite extreme
The sin denounced by our Lord is not
that of open. public prayer. Worship is
intended to be public. 1t is for the peo-
pile: and prayer is a part Of worship.
The sin denounced so scathingly by our
Lord: is praying Ito be seen of men,"
To be ostentatious in prayer, and to be
ashamed of prayer is the same sin In
different forms. The one has it's reward
here and here only, in the praise of
men. The results of the other are
spiritual weakness. barrenness and death.
How many boys and girls are ashamed to

Beware of ostentation, in prayer; beware,

Vain Repetftions.

When We pray use not vain repetitions
as the heather do, for they think that
they shall be heard for their much speak
ing" What a strange misconception of
God is revealed in this sentence. God is
not far away. He is not Indifferent to
our needs. He does not have to be per-
suaded. He is the ever present. Every cry
of the sincere soul goes straight to His
heart. He waits to be gracious. 1t is
not the language Of the lips but the lam
guage of the heart that brings the an
swer to our prayer. The story is told of
a foreign woman who was deeply con-
victed of sin, and who was yearning for
pardon. She thought that she must pray
in English, but, poor creature, she knew
but three words of our language. These
had no connection with her spiritual con-
ditiOn, but these she repeated over and
over until the longed for peace took pos
session Of her soul. This was not using
vain repetition.

The Model Prayer.
after this manner pray ye."

After this manner pray ye."
This is model of directness, simplicity,
comprehensiveness and spirituality This
prayer has never been exhausted. Like
the horizon, it recedes as we advance. 1t
deserves our study. and it deserves our
imitation. 1t Is said Of the elder Booth
that when he recited this prayer the stoni-
est of his hearers would be bathed in
tears. This was because he had permitted
its great truths to enter into his heart.
Take it's opening phrase: How immeas-
ureable Its height, how incomprehensible
its breadth. Our Father! These two words
teach the two greatest truths of our the
ology. Our; to whom does tn 8 pro-
noun refer? Is there q waif Of all the
myriads Of our babbling tribes that is not
included in It? Then 1t teaches the broth

less. He Is my protector. helper,
friend.
..sonal! That truth smites down athe-
ism, polytheism and pantheiSm at a sin
gle blow.
The prayer consists Of two parts, in
each of which there are three petitions
The first, as is fitting, refers to God and
% His claim upon men. The second de-
scribes the needs Of man.
"Hallowed be Thy name
This is the first petition. How natural
and fitting it Is. The generation OF the
fathers name is instructive with every
child. 1t is a sad truth that there is no
sin more general than is that OF pro-
family It Is found In all languages and
it is the sin OF all peoples. To hallow the
Divine name is an evidence Of real piety.

Sin of DESTINATIONS Giving.

The folly and sin of ostentattous giving.
This is sin to which the ancients were
almost universally given. 1t is unfor-
tunately one that has been handed down
through all the generations to the pres
ent time with scrupulous exactness. But.
be they ancient or modern, our Lord
calls them hypocrites. They are acting
part They are passing off their baser
feelings for their noblest. And this is
species of moral counterfeiting. Such
men forget that Christ sits over against
the treasury; that it is not the gift, but
the thought and purpose of the glver that
is of value in His sight. The blarinS
trumpets in the synagogues, and the
glazing headlines in the modern news
paper call attention not SO much to the
gift as to the giver. His praises are
sounded until they become the echo OF
the nation. Sometimes they are told In
story and sung in song and perpetuated
bv the monument of brass or marble.
But, if that is all. honesty compels the
verdict; it is a miserable failure. Time
is short; eternity is long. Verify l say
unto YOU, they have their reward" The
debt is paid In full They have Simply
been singing paeans and raising monu-
ments to themselves, and when the song
dies away and the marble crumbles the
miserable farce has ended.
OF course. this structure applies to those
only who do such things that they May
have glory of men" Some things must be
done in the open. To endow college.
to assist a hospital. to relieve a family
in need, however quietly and unostenta-
tiously it may be done. will be whispered
from friend to friend until 1t is an open
secret. The generous giver may have
obeyed the Injunction: LET not thy left
hand know what thy right hand doeth. :
lbut what skill can conceal an act from
a keen-scented newspaper reporter? The
wireless may send it across the sea. but
the blessing rests upon the head of the
man who has sought to honor God with
his neanA.

me about as sorRber a story as I have
listened to for pnths. Yet there was
