Some Warlike Females
 Who Fought Own Battles

Many married men suspect The truth of the legend of the Amazons. a race es wariike women who once overran Europe. sentured as far as India and Africa and founded colonies in Asia Minor. Fairly authentic history re cords that 10 1J40 an explorer, Fran cescO de OrcIana, making his way from Peru 10 the Atlantic through the Brazils. was told Of tribe of warrior women who lived apart from the men He proceeded on his journey and ap- preached fhe neighb0rhood at the June. ton of the Madeira and Maranon rivers, and suddenly found himself op posed by a group ef warlike women who were gathered on the banks and were leading the men in what might have been q battle. had the explorer given them any excuse for it
 Being convinced that he had fallen on the renowned Amazons, Orellana cross.examlned some of the natives, who confirmed his belief. The women appeared 10 be very tall, robust. fair of complexion. with long hair twisted over their heads and skins Of wild beasfs wound around their loins. They carried bows and arrows with which they succeeded lu killing many of the explorers party.
 Ii Is said 10 have been for these fair but ferocious enemies that orel. iana named the river Amazon.

RELIEF FROM CURSE OF CONSTIPATION

A Battle Greek physician says. Constipation is responsible for more misery than any other cause"
 But immediate relief has been found. A tablet called Rexall Order lies has been discovered. This tablet attracts water from the system into the lazy, dry, evacuating bowel called the colon. The water loosens the dry food waste and causes a gentle. thorough, natural movement without forming a habit or ever increasing the dose.
 Stop suffering from constipation. Chew Rexall 0rderlie at night. Next day bright. Get 24 for e5 cents today at the nearest Rexall Drug Store. Willis B. Carroll

represented as a. reconciling of
God to men. Here If our lesson
is the deeper truth which Paul also
expresses elsewhere, that God was
in Christ reconciling the world unto
Himself" 1t is through grace, Paul
says, that we are saved, and this
grace is not of ourselves, it is the
gift of God. Christ is the revelation
of the Fathers love.
Men will always differ concern
ing their ideas of the atonement.
In fact, the deepest mystery of all
life is the mystery of tie suffering
Of the innocent with and for the
guilty. But this great fact should
never be forgotten, no matter what
one may read into the great fact
of vicarious suffering-that is, suf-
fering for others-namely, that in
his death as much as in his life
Jesus revealed the eternal heart of
God-the heart of yearning and
love to reconcile his lost and wan
dering children unto himself. A
great theologian has said, What
Christ is on the cross, God eternally
is
Our lesson leads us into the holy
Of holes. into the great mysteries
of divine purpose and its method
of provision for human salvation.
We can not understand the depth
of these mysteries, and it is well
that in that realm men should be
free from dogmatism; but we can
understand the power of Christ in
its practical manifestations.
The facts of the gospel are as
definite and plain as the sources
of the gospel are mysterious and
deep. 1t is like the power of cleo
tricity which we see now in the
marvel of the radio Even the most
eminent scientists can not explain
that power, and it is doubtful
whether they have more than
touched the depths of mystery con-
nected with it. But through appre-
ciating the power and applying it
they have brought to us wonderful
results, so that We may hear even
from afar the voices Of our fellow
men and the symphonies of great
choirs and orchestraS. 1t is pre-
cisely in this way that though we
do not understand the power of the
gospel it brings heaven near to man
and reproduces in human life the
eXpreSSion of the divine.

SEEK Referendum
Move for Constitutional
Convention Begun.

Dissatisfaction with Indiana's
ACKNOWLEDGMENT constitution
will prompt another effort in the
current general assembly for a
referendum on the question of a
constitutional convention.
A bill authorizing the referen-
dunn is being prepared with the
backing of representatives of farm
organizations, organized labor,
women's clubs and educational and
temperance forces.
In 1914 a proposal for rewriting
the document was turned down by
the electorate. In 1927 the legis-
lature enacted a law callig for a
constitutional convention but the
state supreme court held it uncon-
stitutional because it did not pro-
vide for referendum.
Two years ago Senator John S.
Alldredge, of Anderson, introduced
bill calling for the referendum or
constitutional revision but the bill
died awaiting third reading in the
senate.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
SERVICE ANNOUNCED

'Tife" is the subject of the lesson
sermon in all Churches of Christ,
Scientist. on Sunday.
Among the citations which COM
prise the lesson sermon is the fol-
lowing from the Bible: HE sent
His word, and healed them, and
delivered them from their destruc-
tions. Oh that men would praise
the Lord for His goodness, and for
His wonderful works to the children
OF men" FPS. 107::2o, 21).
The lesson-sermon also includes
the following passages from the
Christian Science textbook, Science
and Health With Key to the Scrip
lures" by Mary Baker Eddy: ''The
enslayement Of man is not legiti-
mate. It will cease when man en-
tiers into his heritage of freedom,
his God-given dominion over the
material senses Mortals will some
day assert their freedom in the
name of Almighty God. Then they
will control their own bodies
through the understanding of di-
vine Science. Dropping their pres
ent beliefs, they will recognize har-
many as the spiritual reality and
discord as the material unreality."
