their eyes which were moistened with
tears of JOY, was Mt. Hermon, with its
snow capped peaks. where old Elijah
defeated the prophets of BaaL.
The prophet, Isaiah, had foretold
their coming. and sentinels stood day
and night in the outpOsts of Israel
to note their earliest approach How
zealOusly they watched, that they might
carry back to Jerusalem the glad It'd
ings.
Are we watching the return of the
prOdigals? Are we glad when sinners
come from the fields of sin to Zion
with a new song upon their lips and
in their hearts, As I look back over
more than % centuries 1 see those lib
Grated slaves tOil1nS up the slopes OF
AIesopOtamia. I look again. and Her
mons sentinel has caught a glimpse
of the advancing host and signal flres
blaze out from mountain peak to noun
tain peak, until Jerusalem catches the
far off CLEAN and proclaims to the
cities of Judea that the captives are
coming Among those who watched
and waited were fathers and mothers,
whose children had been carried away.
These fathers and mothers had grown
old weak, infirm, and their eyes dim
with weeping, for 20 years had passed
but now they hear the sentinel shout
BEHOLD THEY COME.
What an occasion for rejoicing. But
In the midst of that JOY there We're
heartaches and sorrow, for some did
not return home. This thought tlnds
an echo in many hearts. In our day,
some of our loved ones have been led
away into captivity by the devil. Some
have returned TO gladden. our hearts
others there are who are in the far
country.
Has Il Special Meaning Today.
These are the pictures which fill the
foreground of the prophets mind, but
the prophecy has a special meaning
for Ms today. 1t suggests, or is pro
phetic of the final triumph of the

and kingdoms of the world shall come

flower textured that beauty special
lists marveHed at it? How would you
like to be just plump enouh to have
dimpled shoulders and tapering arms
and yet slim enouh to dance like a
fairy?
If you would be all of these things
you must study life under the motto
adopted by Miss Frances Clare. one
of Marcus Loew's stars. who has all
of these attractions and more still.
Miss Clare is the reincarnation OF
"Eoyland." She blows upon the stage
with the dear. irresponsible Eiggle of
childhood. She wears big butterfly
bows in her hair and French dresses
with wide sashes and socks. And she
tells US to be children again if we
would have youth with US forever and
forever.

her blond curls vigorously. Il love
to study their dear. illogical WAYS.
Why, it is the only way in the world
to keep young and look young If
We believe all that has been written
on the subject of influence by envir-
Onment could there be a better way
for US to cultivate youth than to
have it ever present before us to be
young ourselves and to smile and
frolic and dance in the way we did
when We We're youngsters long ago?

that I am not really a little girl for

The very best thing In all the
world for reducing Is TO roll If yoa
have friends who tell you that it will
do no earthly good. believe me when
I tell you that I have reduced from
eight to ten pounds week by rolling.

Turns Failure to Success
Robert Hall, EngIanG's Greatest
Pulpit Orator. Overcame Ire

By Madison {. Peters

II OBERT HALL. the youngest Of
* family of Il, was born May ?,
1864 at Armsby, Le;cestershire.
He was physically so feeble that he
was unable to walk until three years
of age and was equally slow to acquire
articulate speech
There was belief, among the coun-
try people at that time that the smell
of the newly turned soil was beneficial
to the health and in this belief the
nurse took him out into the fields dur
ing the ploWing time and let him wal
low In the newly turned burrows un5
til he would be all covered and daHbed
with the clay. The nurse also tcok
him into the sheep pens. and left him
among the animals. thinking sh1t -helr
sweet breath was good for him 10 In
His nurse taught him the letters Of
the alphabet and the formation of
words from the inscription on the
ing his fathers houSe-the Baptist par
sonage. This exercise having loosened
his reluctant tongue, he made progress
so RAPIDLY that by the time he was
three years old he gave promise of his
future Oratorical eminence.
At school his precocity assumed in
terest in metaphysics and before ne
was nine years old he was familiar
with Jonathan Edwards on The Will"
and Buffers Analogy" This inces-
SAINT study had its injurious influence
on MS nedlLn ana symptoms VI III
sanity began to manifest themselves at
the time.
Delivers Addresses at IL.
He delivered addresses at religious
meetings when ne was II years old At
the Northampton school he made great
progress in Latin and Greek At Il
years of age he entered the Bristol
academy to prepare himself for the
Baptist ministry. When his turn came
to speak at Broadmead chapel, in &C
cordance with the arrangement OF the
academy, his self possession which had
enabled him to speak with astonish-
ing eIOquence before audiences strange
Iy forsook him. Speaking with fac1l-
ity for a few minutes he stopped, COW
ering his face, with his hands. he
sobbed "Oh, I have lost all my ideast"
In spite of his failure his hearers had
confidence in his ability and as they
went away prophesied If that young
man once acquires self possession he
will be the most eminent speaker OF
his day"
Meets Second Failure.
He determined to try again, at the
same place. only to fail more asoniz-
