Jesus, the name high over all
In hell, or earth, or sky,
Angels and men before it fall,
And devils fear and fly.
Jesus the pris'ners' fetters breaks,
And bruises satan's head;
Power into strengthless souls 1t
speaks,
And life into the dead.
o, that the world might taste and see
The riches of His grace!
The arms of love that compass me
Would all mankind embrace!
His only righteousness show.
His saving truth proclaim:
'Tis all my business here below
To cry, Behold the Lamb"

Was there ever such love as this!
History records instances of friends
dying for friends, but never before
this of a man dying for his enemies.
Christ is King over death and the
grave. 81 am the resurrection and
the life, he that believeth on me
though he were dead yet shall he
live." You who have sounded the
depths of sorrow and misery, and
you who are spiritually dead, look
up, there is hope even for you.
There is very curious plant call
ed the Resurrection Plant. Appar-
emily it was bit of dried grass, per-
fectly dead, no signs of life. Put it
in it's natural element, water, and it
will Immediately begin to turn green.
In a short while it will be all green
and tender, thing of beauty, bear
ing no resemblance to the dried bit
of grass. Do you not suppose God
has given us this plant in the natural
world as an object lesson of what can
be done in the spiritual? The sinner
has shut off Gods face by his evil
deeds, and spiritually he is dead.
Let the sinner get back into his
natural element, and, like the plant,
he can live again. May there be a
great shaking of dry bones this year
of our Lord, 1911. It cost Him the
agony of Gethsemane; you have only

How the People Of Russia and Rou
mania Try to Break tho
Drought.

Besides the use of bad language az
popular means of procuring rain,
there are various other tricks to which
members OF the human race have re-
course In time of drought. There Is
village In Russia, for instance, where
three men used to climb certain fir
trees In seasons of drought. one of
the three having vessel OF water
which he would sprinkle all around
One of the other two hammered on a
kettle or made some similar noise In
the hope OF thereby producing thun-
der. and the third scattered sparks
from frebrands as q warning to the
lightning to make haste.
In Roumania. Servfa and other coun-
tries the charm for rain is more pic.

leader of whom is naked save for a

goes in procession from house to
house through the village. and as they
pass singing for rain the householders
drench them with buckets of water
The ceremony. says writer in the
London Daily News. regularly takes
place all over Roumania on the third
Tuesday after Easter, but 1t may be
expected at any time Of drought dur
ing the summer.
There is yet another wetting Ron
manian custom described. Sometimes
when rain Is needed the Roumanians
make a clay figure to represent
drought, cover it with pail, and place
1t in an open coffin. Girls crouch
round the coffin and lament. say
ing Drought is dead! Lord, give us
rain!" Then the coffin is carried by
children in funeral procession. with q
burning wax candle before 1t. while
lamentations fill the air. Finally,
they throw the coffin and the candle
into stream or well.
In unspoilt parts of Russia the pop
ular methods of influencing the wealth
err are less funereal Sometimes. for
instance, after service in church the
priest In his robes has been thrown
down on the ground and drenched
with water by his parishioners. In
Kursk, a province of southern Russia,
when rain is much wanted the women
seize q passing stranger and throw
him into the river or souse him from
head to foot.

HOW TO TREAT
OLD SORES

The proper way---the only sue.
cesSfai way-- to treat an old sore
is to destroy its source. Not by
dangerous surgical operations or
irritating, "drawing" plasters, but
by Natures true method of purify
ing the blood and filling the circu-
lation with rich, nourishing proper
lies; then the cure will Be natural
and lasting. We can easily under
stand how impurities in the blood
will infect some weak point on our
bodies, and by continually dis
charging impurities into it keep the
place open and nfamed until a
chronic ulcer is formed. Nothing
then is so sure to produce a cure
of these old sores as S. S. S. This
medicine is Natures perfect blood
remedy, composed of the most heal
ing and at the same time the most
penetrating and bIood-puriiying
properties. II removes every par
iicIe Of impurity or morbid matter
from the circulation, and assists
nature in the increasing of healthful,
nutritious corpuscles in the blood.
SIS: S. makes pure blood, and pure
blood is Natures unfailing cure for
old sores. Every sufferer with an old
sore should use S. S. S., because 4
is the remedy they most need. Book

Not a Cheap Building.

II has been estimated that to r9
build the pyramid Of Cheops under
modern conditions an expenditure OF
500 900, 900 would be necessary and
the labor OF 10000 men for two years
required.
1t has been calculated that the work
really required the services OF 1000
men for thirty years.
The pyramid occupies a space OF
twelve and three-quarters acres, is 748
feet high and contains about 1880
900 cubic yards of stone and gram
lite. H Y#
The material alone represents nm
item of $36,000,000. while the labor
would increase this amount to VIZ
100000. To this must be added 49,
100000 for tools, transportation, and
similar items.
The pyramid is built on a solid rock
