SYRUP OF FIGS
FOR CROSS, SICK

Look, Mother! Is tongue coated,
breath hot and stomach sour!
Harmless ''fruit laxative hest to clean
tender liver and bowels.

Mothers can, rest easy after giving
California Syrup Of Figs" because
in a few hours all the clogged-up
waste, sour bile and fermenting food
gently moves out OF the bowels, and
you have WELL playful child again.
Children simply will not take the time
from play to empty their bowels. and
they become tightly packed, liver gets
sluggish and stomach disordered.
When cross. feverish, restless, see
il tongue is coated, then give this de-
licious fruit laxative" Children love
it. and it cannot cause injury. No diff
ference what ails your little ono If

should always be the first treatment
given. Full directions for babies

are printed on each bottle.
Beware OF counterfeit fig syrups.

in the past fifty years more for the
cause OF missionaries at home and
abroad than all the hundreds of so
called liberal churches in Massachu-
setts put together" There is no word
in these days. unless it is charity"
that is more misused or abused than
the word liberal" The advocate
Of free love calls himself a Liberal I;
the advocate of free whisky calls him
self a Liberal; and the advocate of
universal salvation calls himself a
Liberal. All Of these terms are mis-
nomers. There can be no liberty
without law. Senator Hoar might
have made his statement even
stronger. That old Clarendon Street
church OF Boston, which was pre-
sided over by that sainted pastor, DR..
A. j. Gordon. gave during the twenty
years OF his ministry more money for
propagating the gospel at home and
abroad, than all OF the so-called lib
eral churches Of New England put to-
gether."
II we are to combat successfully
this false doctrine Of Universalism
we must dig deeper. If you start your
reasoning with the basis that every
one is by nature a child OF God, you
will be forced to the inevitable con-
clusion that everyone will be saved
for III children. then heirs The
mistake is not in the conclusion, but
in the irst premises. The Scripture
distinctly says. 1--WE become children
Of God by faith in Christ Jesus" II
one was by nature a child of God. he
would not need to do anything tC
become a child of God
Let us now proceed to consider the
third division of our theme. How
may we know whether we are or are
not children OF God. and how may We
become children of God? A botanis
will take a plant or flower and by
certain we'll defined characteristic
will place it in its proper order and
genius and species. Is II possible fol
us to determine just as clearly am
definitely who are children Of God
The Bible says it is.

err" Here are presented two specific
characteristics of Gods children. The
first one is Righteousness. Jesus
said. "By their fruits ye shall know
them" You cannot pick peaches off
Of maple trees. nor apples from will
lows. A good tree will bear good
fruit. Pure water cannot flow from
poisoned fountains. If there is dis
honesty and profanity and impurity
evident in the life and conduct, it is
plain that these are not fruits of
righteousness. You cannot talk
cream and live skinned milk Your
profession and your actions must har-
mOnize If you are to have the assur-
ance Of salvation. You must not only
be good, but you must make good
It is not enough to give a testimony
as did the negro in a camp meeting.
He said. Brethren, l have done about
everything that is bad. / have lied.
and swore and slashed with my razor
I have got drunk, and I have stolen
chickens. but thank the Lord l have
not lost my religion" II you have a
religion that permits you to 90 on
in the same old way, avaricious. COW
etous. lustful, selfish. giving way to
appetite, passion and temper. you
can put it down for sure that it is
not the religion of Christ that you
have. "Whosoever doeth not right
eousness is not of God" 1t is one
thing to make mistakes and to do
wrong on a sudden impulse-it is an
entirely different thing to continue
this wrong doing as a settled pur-
pose and policy Of life
Moreover the Apostle declared thai
you can test the genuiness of your
Christian faith by the presence or alb
sence of the spirit of love in your
heart. Jesus said that love was the
badge Of discipleship. "By this shall
all men know that ye are My disci-
pies. il ye have love one for the 9TH
er." Hatred. envy. malice, unforgiv-
eness. jealousy. pride and selhshness
cannot grow upon the tree Of love. II
these fruits are manifest in your life
Evening journal., 1916-02-11

il is plain that the root and branches
of the tree are of the same nature as
the fruit. Examine your own heart
and find your attitude toward those
who wronged you. Are you harbor-
ing toward them a spirit of hatred
and revenge? Is it the purpose of
your life to get even with somebody
Is there someone that you do not
speak to when you meet him on the
street? BY these indications you can
tell very quickly whether or not you
are a child Of God. In no part OF
Christs teachings was He more plain
and explicit than on this point. "Ex-
cept ye forgive men of their tres
passes, neither will your Heavenly
Father forgive you"
But this is only the negative side
OF love. | have read of a Christian

Be Careful in Using
Soap on Your Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. which is very
injurious, as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is Just plain
mulsihed cocoanut oil. for it is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap, and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all 10 pieces.
You can get this at any drug store,

Latest Glass Substitute,

As substitute for glass in the
equipment of automobiles and many
heresiElilar uses. a product has been
brought out recently in Germany and
is now being subjected to rigid tests
in various shapes at the scene OF war.
1t is known as 'celiOn" and has many
remarkable qualities. 1t is almost un.
breakable by ordinary handling.
Sheets of this material can be bent
backward and forward many times
without breaking; blocks OF this
transparent product can be sujected
to blows without showing fractures:
1t can be produced in any desired
thickness. Clear and completely
transparent, light or dark colored,
mottled or even black, it can be used
for the manufacture of all objects now
made Of celluloid. It's chief advantage
over celluloid is its safety against fire.
A sheet OF cellOn may be ignited by an
open fame.

Increased Safety for Autos.

The automobile has been found to
be such al important feature OF the
war operations that the German gov
ernment has undertaken to increase
the efficiency of the motor car by
keeping the roads free of glass. Dras-
tic orders have been issued on this
subject, and the school children in all
parts OF the country have been in
structed to look carefully over the
roadways which they nave to pass,
and to pick up every bit of broken
glass, or sharp piece OF metal, which
might be injurious to automobiles. Per-
sons who are seen 30 drop glass or
bottles upon the highways are SUBJ
jected to severe reprimand on the first
occasion and to a fine on the second.
Motorists who I'm former years nave
been suffering from the broken glass
and sharp tacks on roads and streets
declare that the order has cleaned the
roads as If by magic, and that pune.

present.
