Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are a
compound Of pepsin, and those ele-
ments that must be secretsd by the
stomach If the food is to be digested.
When the stomach fails to secrete
enough of these digestive agencies,
the only sane remedy is to supply a
sufficient quantity Of these elements
vice for which Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets were made and they are
recommended by leading doctors and
scientists. One or two OF these tab
lets is sufficient to digest the largest
dinner. They stop almos. instantly
all forms Of indigestion such as sour
stomach. beiching. heartburn. dizzi-
ness, brash and dysentery. Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablsts contain digestive
elements, single grain OF which Is

.ection, and by the operation of His

rection. and by the operation of His
power.
Having thus surveyed their history, he
appealed to them to fear Jehovah, to
serve Him. and to put away the gods
which their fathers had served beyond
the river, and in Egypt.
This appeal he followed by suggesting
to them a choice between false gods, as
an alternative to the service of the true
God. Let this be very carefully noted.
When he said, Choose you this day
whom We will serve" he was not calling
upon them to choose between Jeovah
and false gods. The words are intro
duced by these words, If 1t seem evil
unto You to serve the Lord" There was
a touch of fine sarcasm in his appeal.
Everything spoke to them OF what God
had done for them. He said. in effect,
II you do not propose to serve Him, then
you have your choice between the gods
which your fathers abandoned beyond the
river, and the gods you found in this
land. His last declaration was that of
his own choice, LAS for me and my
house, We will serve the Lord"
The people responded by declaring their
purpose to serve the Lord
Joshua hesitated, telling them that they
could not serve the Lord; that II they
forsook Him, and turned to strange gods,
He would consume them
To this they responded by declaring
that they would serve Him.
Finally he entered into a covenant with
them that they would obey Jehovah
The last paragraph tells the story of
the final things. He wrote these words
in the book of the law of God, and then
died. and was buried in his own pos
session.
The passage from Hebrews Is surely a
little too much. Verses twenty. eight and
twenty-nine refer to the keeping of the
Passover. that is in connection with the
exodus; and to the actual crossing Of the
sea. All these things take US farther back
than the quarters lesson.
The other two verses are the only two
which refer to the whole of this period,
and II Is very interesting and remarkable
to notice the two things upon which the
writer fastens. The first was that of the
initial victory, the capture of Jericho.
The second was that of the discriminating
principle which operated in that event. In
the saving of Rahab.
The quarters lessons began with a
murmuring people, under the influence Of
q mixed multitude which had accom-
panied them out of Egypt. 1t ends with a
people realizing in a very remarkable de-
gree all the glory Of their life as a ma
ton under the government OF God. This

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE.

Although the subject for tomorrows 5
service. Christian Science" was selected
without reference to Christmas time, 1t
is thought by those OF that faith that
it is especially appropriate to the Christ
mas season. for they hold that the study
and practice of this teaching bring to
them the Comforter. in fulfillment of
prophesy. One OF the texts in tomor-
rows service is this: But when the
Comforter is come, whom l will send
unto you from the Father, even the
Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from
the Father, he shall testify of me-" This
testifying. they hold. is manifested in
cleaner and healthier minds and bodies
hence it is that they place special stress
on the destruction OF both sin and sick
ness through divine power.
