prescriptions, Go to any active drug

Simple Laxative Remedy
Best for Constipation
DR.. CaId,UePs Syrup Pepsin
Gaze Satisfaction When
Nothing Else Would.

Nearly every one, at one time or an
other, suffers from constipation, or in
active bowels, and one of the few con-
clusions upon which the doctors agree
is that regularity of the bowels is an
essential TO good health.
In the family medicine chest of
most well-ordered households will be
found one or more of the various
remedies recommended for the relief
of constipation. In the majority of
homes to-day the combination of sim
pie laxative herbs with pepsin known
as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is
recognized as the standard laxative.
Druggists everywhere report con-
stantly increasing demand for this
splendid remedy which is sold for fifty
cents a bottle.
Mr.. James Ash, 102 Green St., Cum
berland, Md, wrote to DIR. Caldwell
that he found DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin the most effective remedy for
constipation he had ever used and that
he always keeps bottle of it on hand
for use when necessary.
DR.. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin is a
mild laxative, and does not grippe or

lief in an easy, natural manner. Its

back on Jsus Christ. If ever the
records of the sanhedrin which tried
Jesus should be discovered it would
be found that Nicodemus was counted
in his absence as voting against the
Victim. For Nicodemus was not pres
ent at that cruel session: he was
somewhere off in the night, torment
ed in his soul, and trying to decide
whether he should risk all and con-
fess Jesus.
Something perhaps a look from
the Saviour on the Cross settled
his souls problem. He made the great
decision too late to comfort and serve
Him when He most needed a friend

ye believe if 1 tell you heavenly
things?" That, after the discourse
on the new birth! If the new birth
is earthly things" what must the
Heavenly things be. Verify, Eye
hath not seen nor ear heard" The
height and depth of the love of God
are beyond mortal grasp. The stag
gering profundities of the Gospel
move us to awe and humble rever-
ence.
The Man Who Heard The Uttermost
To have heard Luther's defense at
Worms would have been high privi-
| lege, and the experience of life
time. TO have been among the listen
ers to Paul's address in Mars Hill,
or to Peters sermon at Pentecost,
would have made one marked man.
But think what it meant to have
heard, hot from the lips of Jesus
Himself, illustrated by His beaming
eyes and ravishng smile, the concen-
tration of all the truth of the Gospel,
the supreme utterance of Om-
niscience, For God so loved the
world that he gave his -begotten
Son, that whosoever believeth on
him should not perish, but have
eternal life!"
That greatest of all words was
spoken to an audience of one, and
Nicodemus was the man. The Living
Word uttered the vocal word of ut
termost salvation, which Luther used
to call, "the little Gospel'' - and the
man who heard it had not the cour-
age to be true to this superlative
revelation! To Nicodemus Jesus un-
folds His passion, in the picture of
the uplifted cross To Nicodemus He
made clear the unique mission of
Himself as the Christ To Nicodemus
He unfolded the Old Testament as
it had never been unfolded before.
To Nicodemus He made this marvel
Gus exposition of faith and truth.
And Nicodemus still refused to be-
come His disciple!
Instead he went out into the night:
and the night that surrounded him
was not so black as the tumultuous
midnight within His own breast. He
had talked face to face with the
Christ Himself. He knew that the
Messiah had come. Nevertheless, he
loved the honor that comes from men
more than the honor that comes from
God, and so, for fear of his fellow
/ aristocrats, the Pharisees, he went
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1917-02-02

ened the conversation with conde-
scending words of compliment, which
he, himself, scarcely believed: "Rabbi
we know thou art a teacher come
from God" -. which was the very
thing he did not know, and was seek
ing to find out.
Nothing but conventional oriental
politeness lay behind the phrase, as
when an insincere hostess says to an
unwelcome guest, 20, my dear Mrs.
Smith, | am so glad to see you" In
lesser man Jesus might have ig-
nored or parried the salutation: but
this was the great DR.. Nicodemus, so,
with the disconcerting candor of an
utterly honest soul, He thrust
straight to the realities. With this
great religious teacher in quest of
truth, He dared talk on the highest
level about the sublimest verities.
SO he replied, Verify, verify, L say
unto thee. Except one be born anew
he cannot see the kingdom of Cod
- can't even see 1t, much less enter.
Up Among the Mysteries
Then'to the dazed pupil 4 for such
Nicodemus had become = the Cali
lean began to eXpound the loftiest
conceptions of His new Message.
Nicodemus had come, conscious of his
own high birth, only to meet the doc
trine that they alone are high born
who are born from above. This light
seeking legahst had to learn that re-
ligion is q spirit, life, a new nature,
divine sonship. 1t is q mystery, OF
course as mysterious as the wind
that was rustling the leaves outside
the door as the two men conversed.
This sophisticated Jerusalem citi-
zen was taken into the school which
the world to-day needs to enter, that
of the Spirit t-born life. Flesh and
materialism cannot change things
essentially; but the Spirit of God can
hearts. 1t is regeneration rather than
reform that will set right the world
The one essential thing in Christianity
is not creeds or church membership OIL
intellectual affirmations, but the new
birth. The privilege is one that God
never denies to those who seek the
new life which is in Christ.
While the two men were convers-
ing earnestly upon this profound
theme, there occurred a phrase that
opens a wide vista of meditation

| things, and ye believe not, how sha
