 And for you and me this morning there is only one thing for us to do in the light of our exposition, and that is to consider sorne of the req sons why today, so many of us are ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, and refuse to acknowledge it openly.

It would only be natural for him to feel shame at such colossal claims of Christ, partic- ularly, when the man who made them died such a shameful death and was re jected by his own people. among whom he lived and laborcd. Yet says Paul, 'I am not ashamed of the Cos pei, for it is the power of God unto Salvation to everyone that believeth!'

'I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ. for it is the Power of God unto Salvation to everyone that be- lieveth." And a question that strikes us forceably is this. Was there any reason why Paul should have been ashamed of the Gospel of Christ? And two reasons immediately present them selves,
 The fact that he was Jew
 His Greek education.
 Why. as Jew, should Paul have been ashamed of the Gospel? Because this Gospel did violence to the pet theories and traditions of this chosen race. His early training. he tells us, was after the straight est of thc Scots" of the Jews. He was a Pharisee brought up at the feet of Gamaliel. and his early rec ord shows the havoc he wrought against the church, binding and drag ging and hauling them to prison in his own words, He YVES exceed ing mad against them.

It is the duty of every expectant mother to prepare her system for the coming of her little one; to avoid as far as possible the suffering of such occasions, and endeavor to pass through the crisis with her health and strength unimpaired. This she may do through the use of Mothers Friend, a remedy that has been so long in use, and accomplished so much good, that it is in no sense an experiment, but a preparation which always produces the best results. It is for exernal application and so pen etrating in its nature as to thoroughly lubricate every muscle, nerve and ten don involved during the period before baby comes. It aids nature by ex- banding the skin and tissues, relieves tenderness and soreness, and perfectly prepares the system for natural and safe motherhood. Mothers Friend has been used and endorsed by thou sands of mothers, and its use will
 prove a comfort and a benefit to any woman in need of such a remedy.
