his public ministry. One day Jesus was walking
by the sea and he saw two men-Simon, called
Peter, and Andrew, his brother, casting a net In
the sea. And he said unto them: Follow me and
1 will make you fishers Of men" They straight
way 1t their nets and followed him. He walked
on farther, when he came upon James, the son Of
Zebedee. and John, his brother, who were also
in the ship mending their nets. He straightway
called them and they left their father in the ship
and followed him. Nathaniel was more doubtful
about Christ's spiritual power until one day, Jesus
saith unto him: Verify, verify / say unto you,
hereafter ye shall see heaven open and the angels
of God ascending and descending upon the Son
of Man" And Christ went from place to place
until he had found his IL apostles. He was unwill-
ing to rest then. He began to give food to the
hungry, sight to the blind, health to the sick and
comfort to aching hearts. Among the most illus
trious of his miracles was when he constrained
his disciples to go on board the boat and row
across the lake to Capernaum. Then he sent away
the great crowd of people who were still eager
that he should be their king. When they were all
gone and he was left alone he went up into the
mountain to pray. While he was praying in tho
night a great storm came up on the lake. When
the storm was at it's height Jesus went to his dis
ciples walking on the water as though the sea
were dry land. Then the men in the boat saw a
strange figure coming near them and Jesus called
out to them: BE Of good cheer; it Is I; be not
AFRAID. AlLeT Jesus Hdu peTlOFIuoQ mdHy mId-
cles the people asked him to d.. these things to
satisfy Their curiosity. When he refused them
they became angry and left him. Finally, Jesus
turned to his IL apostles and asked: will We also
90 away and leave me?" But Simon Peter an
swered him: Lord, to whom shall we go? For
thou only hast the words Of everlasting life" One
day, on entering the temple, he saw that the mer-
chants and brokers were making everything sub
servient to their avarice. His anger rose at his
seeing these unholy doings in the temple. He did
not hesitate as to what should be done. He
threatened the traders with a scourge Of small
cords, drove them out and said to them: Take
these things hence; make not my Fathers house
an house Of merchandise" After he left Jerusa-
lem he went directly to Aenon, near Salem, which
was the field Of John the Baptist's labors. Here
he spent most Of his time from the Passover to
the late harvest. He wished to instruct his dis.
ciples more thoroughly in his teaching.
He did not go back to Jerusalem until the feast

CLEVER WIFE
Knew How to Keep Peace In Family.

1t is quite significant, the number Of
persons who get well Of alarming
heart trouble when they let up on cof-
fee and use Postum as the beverage at
meals.
There is nothing surprising about 1t.
however, because the harmful alkaloid
-cafeine-in coffee Is not present IN
Postum, which Is made Of clean, hard
wheat.
1.-TWO years ago I was having SO
much trouble with my heart" writes
a lady in Washington, that at times
l felt quite alarmed. My husband took
me to a specialist to have my heart
examined.
"The doctor said he could find no
organic trouble but said my heart was
irritable from something I had been
accustomed to, and asked me to try
and remember what disagreed with
me.
IT remembered that coffee always
. soured on my stomach and caused me
trouble from palpitation of the heart.
So I stopped coffee and began to use
Postum. l have had no further
trouble since.
"A neighbor Of ours, ar old man,
was so irritable from drinking coffee
that his wife wanted him to drink
Postum. This made him very angry,
but his wife secured ONE Postum and
made 1t carefully according to direc-
lions.
HE drank the Postum and did not
know the difference, and is still using
it to his lasting benefit. He tells his
wife that the coffee Is better than 1t
used to be, so she smiles with him and
keeps peace in the family by serving
Postum instead of coffee"

DOES. ALL OF
her OWN WORK
And is Glad to Do So, as She Was
Denied this Privilege
For Two Years.

Richmond, Ky.-Mrs. N. V. Willis, of
this place, says: 81 suffered for over
three years with womanly trouble, and
tried many different treatments, but
none of them seemed to do me any
good. I had almost given up to die,
when a friend Of mine begged me to
try Cardui, the woman's tonic. I got
q bottle, and began to feel a great deal
better after the first few doses. I
then got four bottles, and after TAX
ing these I was cured.
I don't know what a female pain Is
now, do all Of my work, eat anything
I want, and feel like a 16 year old girl.
1 never expect to be without Cardui
in my house as long as I live, as I
firmly believe it saved my life, and I
will praise it to all Of my suffering
lady friends"
Cardui is a purely vegetable remedy,
containing no harmful mineral prod
ucts. Its ingredients act in a helping,
building way, on the womanly consti-
tuition. It has been relieving woman
ly troubles for over half a century,
during which time it has proven of
more than ordinary value as a tonic
for weak women.
You can rely on Cardui. 1t will do
for you what it has done for thou
sands of others. Begin taking it
today.

been expecting the coming Of a Savior to the Jews.
He took the child up in his arms and exclaimed:
Lord, now lettest thou they servant depart in
peace according to thy words: For mine eyes
have seen thy salvation."'
Joseph and Mary remained but a short time with
their child in Egypt. The death of Herod later re-
called them to Palestine, and they returned to
their old place Of abode, the little town of Naza-
reth in Galilee. They did this because the angel
of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and
said: take the young child and his mother and
fee into Egypt and be thou there until l bring
thee word, for Herod will seek the young child
to destroy him." He grew strong in both body and
spirit Tradition says he wore a garment without
seams, made Of a kind of woven hair of a purplish
brown color.
The Gospels tell US nothing of his occupation as
q young man. Tradition relates, and 1t appears
truly, that he spent the whole thirty years before
he began his ministry in retirement. John was
the first to announce the great work Jesus in
tended doing. He abandoned the solitude of the
desert for the banks of the Jordan. He gathered
the people together in hosts. He announced that
they were to be delivered from sin and bondage,
and to prepare for the Messiah's coming.
1t was at Bethabara that John the Baptist saw
Jesus for the first time, and looking upon him
said: Behold the lamb of God" 1t was here that
the II stones were set up, marking the spot where
the children Of Israel had crossed the Jordan dry
shod to enter the promised land. Jesus had come
to be baptized, but John refused until he heard
Jesus say: Suffer it to be so now, for thus it be-
comes US to fulfil all righteousness" After Jesus
had spoken to the people he was led into the
wilderness by the spirit. Here he was tempted
for 40 days by the devil. He was an %hungered
and the devil said unto him: IF thou be the Son
OF God command that this stone be made bread
and Jesus answered him, saying, 1T is written that
man shall not live by bread alone, but by every
word that proceedeth out Of the mouth Of God"
He next brought him to Jerusalem and sat him on
a pinnacle of the temple and said unto him: IF
thou be the Son Of God cast thyself down from
hence" Jesus answered, ct is said thou shalt not
tempt the Lord thy God" Then the devil tempted
him a third time, offering Christ the kingdom Of
this world if he would worship him. The answer
came, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God and
him only shalt thou serve"
The temptation is the expression of the period
that interviewed between Christ's private life and

Worth Knowing.

The weight Of the Greenland or
right whale is 100 tons, or 100000
pounds, equal to that Of SO elephants
or 40 bears. The whalebone in such
a whale may be taken at $3.50 pounds
and the oil at from 40 to ITO barrels.
The remains of the fossil whale which
have been found on the coast of Ystad,
in the Baltic, and even far inland in
Wangapanse, Westergothland, betoken
a while which, although not more than
so or 60 feet in length, must at least
have had a body 27 times larger and
heavier than that of the common or

MEETING AT "Y' TONIGHT

The Business Mems Bible Class will
hold its second meeting at the Y. M.
c. A. tonight at 6 o'clock. At the
meeting held last week for organiza-
ton thirty men were present. Dur
ing the week number more have en-
rolled so that it is expected the class
will soon have a membership Of fifty.
The class meets for supper and the
lecture is finished by 7:30.

many men are finding it possible to
attend as they can meet other appoint
ments later in the evening. Men who
find it impossible to go to the associ-
alton building for supper can attend
the lecture by going at 6:45.
The subject of the lecture tonight
will be How the Church Formed the
Bible. This is study of the ques.
ton of why the particular IS
books came to be included in the Bible
and why some were left out The
printed outline which Mr. Ebersole
gives to each member of the class is a
great help in understanding the lee
ture .-ez Il i.
Following the class meeting tonight
the members OF the class who are in
terested in bowling or who would like
to learn the game will go to the bowl
ing alleys. A match game between
two teams captaIned by Charles H..

played. A number of men who have
had considerable experience at bowl
ing will be on the alleys as well as
