One Physician.

+. We are not left to conjecture about a
multitude of remedies or conditions re-
quired to insure perfect health and
stature in the spiritual life. The medi
cal science of the world is complicated,
experimental and uncertain. There are
multitudes of physicians with unnumber-
ed theories and forms of practice.
In Gods science for the making of a
perfect man, there is but one physician
and one remedy one theory and one
form of treatment. The one physician is
Jesus Christ. the only sovereign physi-
clan of the soul. who by His blood and
spirit cures all spiritual sicknesses; the one
remedy is the blood of the one Physi-
clan that cleanseth from all sin; the one
theory is the plan of atonement, and the
one form is faith in the efficacy and
power of the one great Physician.
Christ is presented to us under va
rious titles, such as the great Teacher,
the Redeemer, the Savior and the Good
Shepherd, but in considering the thought
of our growth into the perfect man, we
naturally think Of Him as the great Ply
SiciaE.

Reaping, Repentance, Return.

DR.. r. b. Meyer suggests that the rough
treatment the ten brothers received, Jo-
seph's accusation of them as spies. as
well as their Imprisonment until he could
verify their statements, was an actual
repetition of the struggle. charges and
action at the pit when they made him a
prisoner, before he was stolen and sold
INTO slavery to Potiphar. In Joseph's

that existed between them. There was
nothing about the great ruler to suggest
to them their brother who twenty years
before could not be trusted alone with
his fathers 1ocks.
Three days I'm the pit, charged with

Follow Directions.

Growing up into the stature Of Christ
is accomplished by placing ourselves in
His hands as the one and only divine
Physician, that He may cure our diseases
and sicknesses, and then to follow in al
things His directions concerning the food
care and exercise that are indispensable
in reaching the measure of the fullness of
the perfect man.
He has not only told us how we should
live, but has given in His human life a
perfect example for us to follow.
An example or model is only valuable
to those who are familiar with 1t. We
must know our Example or We cannot
initiate Him. We cannot grow in Christ
likeness until we know Christ And how
can we know Him? There is but one way.

cost, by its inevitable progeny of future
wars" that have failed to secure lasting
peace, which is the source of prosperity,

The student of economics knows that
war, like famine, is not only one of the
causes of the cost of high living. but 1t is
just as much the source of peril, pesti-
lence and poverty as is famine. Unless
through the persuasive power of the
preaching of the gospel of Christ there
will come in every nation an opposition to
war and the spirit that promotes peace.

earth and all the countries came

how family troubles, which are frequently

Family, Famine, Fulfillment.

God had trained Joseph by sorrow,
slavery and service to become the bene-
factor of the race. The temptation. trials
and trouble of the thirteen years were
days of providential preparation for the
power to which God had called him from
the prison to the palace. Joseph shows
that he realized the hand of God was
shaping his career through the events OF
the past by the names he bestowed upon
his two sons born to him during the
DAYS of his activity in preparing for the
famine. Prosperity did not turn his
heart away from the God who had sus-
tanned strength d and supported him
in all his dark i,ourS.
Names mean something in the east.
Manasseh (meaning to forgeD was the
name that Joseph gave to his first-born
son. for, said he. God hath made me
forget all my sorrow and my IA
theirs family" and the second he called
Ephraim tfruitfuD, because God has
made me fruitful in the land of my
trouble" He saw in the trials the
moIding power of God shaping him for
service, and came to recognize God $
presence with him in all his work. which
was the element of success in his re-
markable record as a public official.

Madison, Wis, Sept. 27.-The state industrial commission has decided to order compensation awarded to wid ows for the deaths of their husbands under the state workmen's compensa. tion act paid in monthly installments instead o1 in bulk.
 This was done because most of the widows have been found incapable of properly caring for the money anC some have begun looking for new hus bands immediately after receiving their awards.
 Most of the mprovideut widows are foreigners, who have little idea of the value of the money given them and consider it as a dover for another marriage.
