- ' A ‘‘balanced diet” may sound confusing to many people The facts, as explained here, are simple. The secret of a “balanced diet” is to have food containing all the elements needed for proper nutrition. These elements are protein, to nourish the tissues; starch and sugar to furnish energy; fat to supply heat; and mineral salts to provide the material necessary for building nerves, brain, and tooth and bone structure. Grape-Nuts, the nourishing cereal made of whole wheat flour and malted barley, served with cream or milk, is a complete food for young and old alike. Go to your grocer today and get a package of Grape-Nuts. Eat it with milk or cream for breakfast; or with stewed fruit, jelly or jam, as a delicious dessert for lunch or dinner. , Every member of the family will relish this palatable and nourishing food — Grape-Nuts—the Body Builder “There’s a Reason” Made try Postum Cereal Co., Inc., Battle Creek, Mich.

IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL Sunday School ' Lesson ’ (By REV. p. B. FITZWATER, D. D.. Teacher of English Bible in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) Copyright, 1922, Western Newspaper Union. LESSON FOR JANUARY 22 ELIJAH’S FLIGHT AND RETURN. LESSON TEXT—I Kings 19:1-21. GOLDEN TEXT—I waited patiently for the Ixird; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.—Ps. 40:1. REFERENCE MATERI AL—Ezek. 2:1-7; Acts 16:6-10; 18:1-11. PRIMARY TOPIC—God Sends an Angel to Help Elijah. | JUNIOR TOPIC—God Strengthens Elijah. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —Jehovah’s Champion Encouraged. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —Finding and Finishing Our Task. This lesson story proves Elijah to have been a man of like passions as we are (Jas. 5:17). 1. Elijah’s Flight (vv. 1-14). Upon Ahab’s return from the excitement on , Mount Carmel, he told his wife all that Elijah had done —that even all her prophets had been hewn to pieces by the sword. This so enraged her that she sent a message of death to Elijah, who seems to have been waiting at the gate (vv. 1.2). This was clearly a bluff on Jezebel's part. Though Elijah had courageously stood before the king and the priests . of Baal, he now cowered before this woman and tied for his life. He seems to have failed at his strongest point. j 1. Elijah under the juniper tree (vv. 3-7). The juniper tree was a shrub of the desert which afforded shelter and protection to travelers , from the burning sun by day and the cold wind by night. (1) His request (v. 4). This was that he might dtp. This was. no doubt k a foolish tiling for him to say. but let us be as considerate toward him as w God. The discouragement, and even despondency, of Elijah was dm 1 to the nervous strain of about four years of unusual service for God, which culminated on M<>unt Carmel. Such nervous reaction Is to be expected. (2) Gml'h tender treatment (vv. 5 7). (a) He gave him sleep (v. 5). ‘‘lie giveth His beloved sleej ” (Psa. 127:2). (h) He sent an angel to cook Elijah's meal (vv. G. 7). The angel of the Lord Is usually understood to be the second member of the Holy Trinity. If this Ih» correct. then we see JehovahJesus preparing food for His servant Elijah, as He afterward did for His discouraged disciples by Galilee (John 21 :19). God again gave him sleep, and nt the proper time again gave him fo.nl. Though Elijah wanted to die. God had something better for him, for in a later day He met him with the "chariot of the Lord” and took him to heaven untouched by death. 2. Elijah nt Horeb (vv. S 14). God had kindly ministered to His disc.mrnged prophet so that he would be In a fit condition to recc ve the needed Instrm Hon and correction. Elijah had erred in running away from Ids field of ministry. , (1) God's Interview with Elijah in , the eave (vv. 9. 10). (a) God ' question (v. !>). “What doest thou here. ' Elijah?” This was a stinging rebuke, though most kindly given. It Implied that Hs .appointed messenger was now far away from the field of duty. 1 Elijah was not where God wanted him, but God sought him where he was. । How blessed to know that “A Godforsaking sa nt is not a God-forsaken ’ saint !” (h) Elijah’s answer (v. 10). ' Elijah tried to vindicate himself by asserting his Jealous loyalty to God—■ that in spite of till this the people had not only rejected his message and dishonored God. but had sought to destroy him. (2) God's interview ( with Eli jail <>n the Mount (vv. 11-14). While standing before the Lord on the mount. G<»<l caused a mighty ( diunonstration of wind, earthquake । and tire to pass before him to show unto him the nature of the work which he had been doing for God. and to show him what was lacking in his work for Hie fullest attainment of success. Elijah had about him much of the whirlwind, earthquake and tire. His work had been terrifying ami alarming, but it lacked in gentleness and love. This object lesson in the ways of God's working is a needed message for this age. which js so wonderfully characterized by noise and clamor. The world is not “taken for , Christ” by the fleshly energy ami enthusiasm of conventions and committees, but by the quiet liearts who go forth proclaiming God's Word in the eiu'rgy of the Holy Spirit. 11. Elijah’s Return (vv. 15-18). Though Elijah had erred, God brought him again into His service. How comforting to know that God does not reject His servants because of their failures in times of despondency! He deals with them after the motive of their hearts. Elijah was nourished and instructed! by the Lord and then sent on a high mission. God is a tine psychologist. 11 ■ took Elijah i out of himself by giving him a new commission. The most healing ministry is that of work. Many bereaved ' ones have been lifteii out of themselves by active inin'stry to others. Before God would come in Uis chariot to take Elijah home. He set him upon a threefold ministry: 1. To anoint Ilazael king over Syria (v. 15). 2. To anoint Jehu king over Israel (v. 1G). 3. To anoint Elisha as his own suc- . cessor in the Prophet’s room (vv. 19-21). Make Requests Known Unto God. “In everything by prayer and supplieation let your requests be made known unto God.” There is absolutely no restriction as to the kind of business that is to bring us to the throne of grace, and so of course, there j is no excuse for keeping any kind of a burden to ourselves. It is not only about wlat we call religious matters, or what we call important matters, that we are permitted to go unto God Whatever touches our lives is of con cern to our heavenly Father.
