The Masters Prayer.

u. Praying, w. $3.50. The Mas
ter's prayer was in reality a prayer
Of triumph; a prayer which enables
US to apprehend, in part at least, his
suffering and a suggestion Of his com
ing glory. It is easier to appreci-
ate and to understand his prayer
than it is to comprehend his glory.
The resolute abandonment of himself
to the will Of his Father is one of the
awe-inspiring facts of history.
Jesus asked for this cup, drank It
and passed on to Calvary. In the
midst Of his agony he is strength
ened, Luke 22:43. Returning, he
found the three disciples sleeping. Pc
ter, who had made such boastful avow-
ais of fealty wv. 20, 800 and who is
about to undergo, and to fall, is ad-
dressed in tender reproach, Simon,
s%leepest thou. Couldest thou not
watch one hour?" Then addressing
the three, he said, watch, and pray
that ye enter not into temptation;
the spirit indeed is willing, but the
flesh is weak" We may understand
the disciples by studying ourselves.
They had not of course slept through
all Of his agony, but more occupied
with their own sorrows than his, they
nodded and slept. Do not our griefs,
our burdens and our sorrows cause US
to sleep while the world about us
perishes? 1t was natural slumber fol-
lowing a strenuous day and evening,
but under the circumstances was
hardly excusable.

other passage in history so moves the
human heart with reverential awe.
Somewhere outside Jesus left eight
disciples. He took three, his closest
friends, and resolutely entered the
darkness. Our record tells US that he
was amazed and sore troubled" and
there is a hint of his humanity sug.
gested by the fact hat he should con-
fess the same to the disciples. These
three had been with him on the Mount

glory. Now they are to see the depths
of Divine self-abnegation. He trod

Turn the Babys s

A Gentle Baby Laxative Will Quickly Relieve the Usual
 Cause of the Trouble.

It is often difficult to tell just what is the matter with a crying, peevish baby or child too young to express it's feelings in words, but as a. gen eral rule the mother will find that there is a tendency to constipation, which has brought a headache or nervousness. The little one has no pain, but feels sout of sorts.'
 The first thing to try is a family remedy containing good but mild lax alive properties, and many mothers will say that their choice would be Dr. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin- Thou sands of mothers keep it in the house for such emergencies. among whom may be mentioned Mrs. John Kirch, IT,. 1627 Abstract Ave, Pittsburgh, Pa. She has been giving it success fully to little Walter, whose picture we present at three months, when he weighed 14 1-2 pounds He is a healthy, laughing youngster today and Mrs Kirch gladly gives Dr. CaIdweIrs Syrup Pepsin credit.
