and power. Decision expresses itself
In the "if" Of action which deepens
the conviction and destroys the doubt.
The "If" of Doubt.
We are constantly tempted to doubt
the Lords Word. When Peter was
told that what he thought was a spirit
upon the water that stormy night was
the Lord himself he said, "If it be
thou" There is the hint Of doubt
In that "if." The doubt fingered and
took shape in Peters mind. Trans
lated it said TO Peter, "Did l hear
Alright? Is it really the Lord? Was
It, and is it, the Lord?" The 'if'
rose up and Peter went down, We
step out on the stormy water and the
hrst steps are so brave and true when
suddenly the "1f" rises up, and doubt
Of his word comes in, and we begin
to sink. Again we doubt his power.
The father of the demoniZed boy Is

the wrong place, for he was told, "If
thou canst believe" AS in Mark 10 :27,
"With God all things are possible"
Not "to" God all things are possible,
that goes without saying, but with"
God. This links man with God. The
machine is dead, idle and helpless
thing until linked with the engine,
when ii becomes dynamic with COM
municated power. "If thou canst do"
"If thou canst believe" And we doubt
his willingness. The cry of the leper,
"If thou wilt" is still being heard.
We are constantly doubling his will
mgness because of our condition. Con-
Etantly forgetting that "He that
spared not his own son, but delivered
him up for us all will, with him, also
freely give us all things" We hear
of him healing the deaf, making the
lame to walk, yea, even raising the
dead, but when it comes to our own
case we get our eyes filed with our
desperate condition and forget his
goodness and grace. Others may be
blessed, our friends may be helped,
we may have his word, we may know
his power but because Of our cOndi-
ton we are tempted to doubt, saying,
"If thou wilt"
Again, we doubt his providences.
When the Lord by Elisha had prom
lsed in the midst of famine to make
-four cheaper than the refuse of the
street, one high in authority sarcas-
tically asked: 'If the Lord would
make windows in heaven, might this
thing be?" 1t was such a new, un-
hcard-Of thing-sO sudden. Is it pos
sible he would make the grain TO grow
I'm night? The 'if' of rationaliSm
comes in and casts doubt on the prom
ise of God. He has promised that all
our needs will be supplied, but because
we do not see how he can do 1t we
admit the doubt and find ourselves on
dangerous ground. losing our peace
and missing the blessing.
Once more we doubt his presence.
We are told he will never leave us
nor forSake us, but in spite of that.
when circumstances which hurt and
distress surround us, we are tempted,
like Gideon of old to say, "If the
Lord be with us why then Is all this
befallen us?" He knows all the why
of our circumstances.

counted the cost, faced the toll and
hardship, saw the dark road ahead Of
him. but looked also at the presence
and power Of the Lord, and, assuring
his heart that Gcd was with him and
for him, made the decision. May It

Armenian and Syrian Relief.

Mir Editor: For 25 centuries the Ar menfans and Syrians have held an honorable place in the national and religious history of the near east. They have been called upon repeatedly to endure fierce religious prosecutions, but from these they have risen with honor and undaunted courage
 Evidence recently received from many widely separate sources, and all beyond question, shows that these peo- pie, after enduring forms of cruelty which if named in detail would not be accredited as possible to be inflicted by men upon human beings, and espe- cially upon helpless and innocent wom- en and children, are now in desperate straits, but accessible to external aid Refined men and women, educated in American colleges in Turkey and else where, are endeavoring to pro1ong life by eating scattering weeds and stray spears of grass they may chance to find. Cases are reported where both adults and children have received food and refused to eat it because it came too late
 The Turkish government has assured the American embassy at Constantino- pie that it will permit the American Red Cross to land and distribute to these wretched and starving people imported food The American com mittee for Armenian and Syrian relief is cooperating with the Red Cross in securing from the navy department

elas a Secret Manufacturer of Famous Medicine Tells Ingredients, So Public Can Appreciate Pure, Reliable Medi- cine.

Many people fear to take medicine to check and abort colds, cure coughs, ;catarrh, etc. This fear is groundless with all the products of The Black burn Products Co.,, Dayton, Ohio. Not one contains opiates, narcotics or harmful drugs. Mentho-Laxene, for coughs, colds, catarrh and all distress following a cold is compound of Wild Cherry, Tolu, Cascara, Grinde- fia, Menthoe Ammonium Chloride, and alcohol sufficient to preserve and keep in solution.
 l Every ingredient is in concentrated
 form and the medicine is SO strong that only ten-drop doses are to be taken in the "raw" state. But the ideal way is to make into syrup by emptying 21z oz. bottle of Mentho- Laxene into a pint bottle and then fill the bottle with granulated sugar syrup, made kS- dissoiving a pint of sugar in half pint of boiling water. It is said by thousands that this makes a most effective home treatment for all cold troubles. The manufacturer
 guarantees it to please or money back. Sold by all good druggists.

collier to fill with food in New York and send to Syria as soon as possible.
 Immediate action is imperative. Death stalks among those refugees and only prompt response will save tens of thousands of them from it's terrible clutches. New England has responded Iiberally to the cry for aid, but we cannot withhold further sympathy and our gifts at a time like this. More than $300,000 have already gone from New England for relief for the Ar menians and Syrians alone. This sum should be duplicated within the next two weeks if we expect to save the remnant of these races. Henry D. Forbes, vice president of the National Shawmut bank, Boston, is the treas urer of the New England fund. All sums handed him will be sent through the national committee.
 The press has been most generous in it's cooperation and, upon behalf of the American committee, I voice their sincere appreciation.
