understood all this. No wonder she
searched diligently day and night to
find it, even sweeping under the bed,
where she had not swept for many
moons before.
As the shepherd seeks his lost
sheep and as the woman seeks her
lost coin, so God seeks and has
sought lost men who are valuable
to Him. And this is our God. No
wonder Christ called him Father. Lost
in sin now and lost in hell at last!
No wonder the angels rejoice, the
redeemed rejoice, the Father, Son and
Spirit rejoice when wanderer re-
turns. The wonder is that Christian
people do not make such joy more
common. Why hinder Gods work?
Why befoul lips that profess His
name and stain the tongue and heart
with slander before children, kindred,
friends, lost in sin, some loyal and
true workers, trying to save? Why
stand off in cold, heartless criticism
while the Lord weeps over the per-
ishing? The devil pats himself on
the back and hugs himself in delight
while others do his dirty work for
him. We are not ignorant of his de-
vices. Christ was slandered by the
religious leaders for the good work
He was doing, circulated and re1oiced
in the evil report concerning him.
They crucified Him, and themselves
perished miserably at last. Let us
beware lest we be found fighting
against God. Touch not mine anoint-
ed and do my prophets no harm,
saith the Lord. Let him that read
eth understand.

UNION OF METHODISTS
Union of Methodist Churches May Be
Effected in Nineteen Eighteen

Saratoga Springs, May 2O.-The
physical union of the Methodist Eps-
copal churches, north and south, may
be effected in 1918, two years sooner
than had been expected if resolu-
ton introduced at the general con-
ference here today is adopted. The
judiciary committee is considering
the legality of the resolution. The
proposal was that when the general
conference adjourns next week it
will not adjourn for four years, as
formerly, but subject to the call of
the bishops. Such action would per-
nit the conference in 1913 when the
Methodists of the south meet TO take
action on the uniiication.

Ho4v to Shed a Rough,
Chapped or BLotcbv Skin

This is what you should do to shed a
bad complexion: Spread evenly over the
face, covering every inch of skin, thin
layer of ordinary mercolized wax. Let
this stay on over night. washing 1t off
next morning. Repeat daily until your
complexion is as clear. soft and beauti-
full as a young girls. This result is in
evitable, no matter how soiled or with
cred TO complexion. The wax literally
absorbs the filmy surface skin, exposing
the lovely young skin beneath. The pro-
cess is entirely harmless, so little of
the old skin coming off at time. Mer-
coliZed wax is obtainable at any drug
store; one ounce usually sufHces. It's
veritable wonder-worker for rough,
chapped. Redeemed, blotchy, pimpled,
freckled or sallow skin.
Pure powdered saxoltte is excellent
for wrnkled skin. An ounce of 1t dis
solved in a half-pint witch hazel makes
refreshing wash-lotion. This renders
the skin quite firm and smooth; indeed.
the very first application erases the
finer lines; the deeper ones soon fol-
low.-Adv.
