Side Lights on Next Sundays Les
son for Teachers and Pupils.
BY CHAS. X. MEYERS

January THE Birth of John the
Baptist Foretold. Luke i; 5-23.
The lesson verses take us back to
the days before the birth of Jesus. 1t
will be remembered that the male
members of the tribe of Levi were
set apart for the priesthood. The old
Jewish method of worship, the way
the temple, was divided into courts,
holy places, holy of holes, the altar,
the burning lamps, the great angel
figures with wings over the mercy
seat, can all be studied about from
the Old Testament at this time, by
those wishing sidelights on this les
son. The bible record before us ex-
plains that at certain time one of
the priests whose turn it was to act
was man named Zacharias, that he
was a good person and his wife, Eliza
beth, was also righteous before God,
walking blameless. These people
were to be the parents of John the
Baptist
1t fell to the duty of Zacharias as
priest to go into the holy place to
burn the incense. This took him out
Of sight Of the people and gave him
for that day the most honorable posi-
ton. While thus engaged an angel of
the Lord appeared to tell him that he
and his wife were to be the parents
of boy whose name should be John,
and who would have a remarkable
career in the world. 1t was told that
John would be preacher with great
message, and therefore he must be
most pure in body, drinking no wine
and brought up as God would want
him to be in every way. The priest
expressed his doubts as to whether
this could come to pass, as he never
expected have any children at his
home. For this unbelief of the state
ment of the angel it was further told
him that he would lose the power to
talk until the child was born. He did
find himself dumb when he came out
from the holy place. and had to make
signs. He must have felt that the ap-
pearance of the angel was no dream,
but strict reality.
A host of things can be learned
from this lesson. God had many years
before promised the faithful Jews that
the Messiah should come and this
promise like all others was to be full
filled to the very letter. Zacharias and
Elizabeth, Cody people, were honored

by having the bringing up of John
who was to have so important place
in the plan of salvation. Happy are
the parents who can rear boy or
girl for Gods service. There is a
temperance lesson in the command
that this good young man was never
to drink strong drink" We should
be stronger in faith than Zacharias
and not stagger at the promises God
makes to us in the bible, but rather
believe and act on the belief. The
golden text says, Without faith it is
impossible to please God" So the les
son is interesting, important and full
of good things to follow after.

The Passing Of Tom Heffernan.

Brief mention was made in our
last issue of the sudden death of Mr..
Thomas Heffernan, who died at his
home south of Charter Oak and was
buried Tuesday. We take the follow
ing obituary from the Charter Oak
Times:
Mr.. Heffernan was an older man
than most people supposed him to be.
He was born in Ireland about IS years
ago and was raised in County Kerry
in the troublOus times OF lreland's
poverty and shame, before she was
given a chance to be anybody or have
anything. When a young man about
twenty-five or twenty-six years old
he left the boys of his native land
and came to America, making his
first stop at Preston, in Jackson coun-
ty, Iowa. Soon after that he came
farther west and became resident
of Crawford county near AspinWall.
Here his brother, John, and wife kept
house for him while he struggled to
get start in life. John Thomas re-
calls going to the Heffernan house
many years ago when Thomas and
John and the latter's family and their
brother-in-law and his family were all
being sheltered by the same roof.
Even that was better than Ireland in
those days, and the Heffernan boys
did not complain. They worked hard
and took what life gave them. Mr..
Heffernan has been a resident Of
Crawford county nearly all of the
years since then.
Late years were more kindly. By
hard work and close economy neat
little sum was laid by, and last fall
a small farm Of eighty acres was pur-
chased. Mr.. and Mrs. Heffernan have
titled rented farms for many years,
and they enjoyed the sensation OF
owning a farm of their own. Never
theless, they had arranged to remain
OIL ll0 1oi La AAS-NS JS''A
while their own land they rented to
Emil Norman. After a lifetime Of un.
yielding toll, Mr.. Heffernan was called
home before he had time to enjoy
the fruits of his handiwork.
1.-The Heffernan family in Ireland
was not a small one. Eleven are still
living-nine brothers and two sisters,
seven brothers and one sister in
America and a brother and a sister
in Ireland. Thomas Heffernan left a
family of seven-four sons and three
daughters, part of them grown and
part of them still small. The work
of the farm will be carried on as be-
fore, but the workers will miss the
kindly counsel of the foreman.
"The funeral services were held on
Tuesday morning in the Catholic
church in Charter Oak, conducted by
Rev. Father Schenkelburg."

GET TO THE CAUSE.
Denison People Are Learning the Wa,

There is but little peace or comfort
for the man or woman with bad
back. The distress begins in early
morning-keeps up throughout the
day. It's hard to get out of bed, it's
torture to stoop or straighten. Plasters
and liniments may relieve, but cannot
cure. The cause is inside-the kid
neys. When suffering so, use Doan's
Kidney Pills, the tested and proven
kidney remedy, used in kidney trou-
bles for over rs years. Doan's Kid
ney Pills have cured thousands of
such cases. Proof in the testimony of
a nearby resident:
William NJ. Melton, 10S E. fremont
street, Denison, Iowa. says: 81 have
given Doan's Kidney Pills thorough
trial and have not found them want
ing. About two months ago l pro-
cured this remedy from the Lamborn
Drug Co., and it relieved me of lum-
bago and lameness through my loins
that had made it difficult for me to
get about. 1t is a pleasure to give

NIN' 7 PULL OUT
THE CRAY HAIRS
A Few Applications Of a Simple
Remedy VIII Bring Back
the Natural Color.

"Pull out one gray hair and a dozen

which is, to great extent, true, if no
,Jeps are taken to stop the cause. When
xfay hairs appear it is sign that Ma
cure needs assistance. 1t is Nature 8
call FOR help. Gray hair, dull, lifeless
hair, or hair that is falling out, is not
necessarily sign of advancing age, for
there are thousands of elderly people
with perfect heads of hair without a
single streak Of gray.
When gray hairs come, or when the
nair seems TO be lifeless or dead, some
good, reliable hair-restoring treatment
should be resorted to at once. Special
lists say that one of the best prepara-
tons to use is the old fashioned 'sage
tea" which our grandparents used. The
best preparation of this kind is Wyeth s
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy, prep
aration of domestic sage and sulphur,
scientifically compounded with later dis
covered hair tonics and stimulants, the
whole mixture being carefully balanced
and tested by experts.
Wyeth Sage and Sulphur is clean and
wholesome and perfectly harmless. 1t

THE SUPERIOR COURT LAW.


The senator from this county viii
present bill to amend the superior
court law so that these courts can
be established or abolished in coun-
ties having a certain population ~
a vote of the people in that county.
That ought to satisfy both the tax
payer and the governor The people
can have these courts if they want
them under such measure and
they do not have to keep them IL
they do not want them. 1t would
be possible with such provision
about superior courts to reduce the
number Of district courts, but if the
superior courts are abolished by
the repeal of the law then there
will be a demand for an increase
of district courts that will have the
best of the argument.
A local option provision in the
superior court law viii eliminate
five or six superior courts ana clear
the way to reduce the number OF
district court judges by six or seven;
and that is a good deal OF reform
for one session of the legislature.
