IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SimdaySchool ' 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 FEBRUARY 19 ELISHA AND NAAMAN THE SYRIAN LESSON TEXT—II Kings 5:1-27. GOLDEN TEXT—Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases.—Ps. W3;2, 3. REFERENCE MATERIAL-Luke 4:1630; 5:12-16. PRIMARY TOPIC—A Little Girl Helping. JUNIOR TOPIC—A Young Girl's Service. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —Elisha Helping a Foreigner. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —How to Overcome National and Racial Prejudices. I. Naaman’s Fatal Defect (v. 1). He was a great man, but a leper. He was held in high esteem by the king, because through him the Syrians had been delivered from their enemies. He was not only a capable general, but was a very brave man — valorous. Every unregenerate man, regardless of his gifts and possessions, has tiiis one fatal defect. He may be a mighty warrior, a great orator, a gifted writer, a man of profound learning, an honorable statesman, but if he is an unbeliever in Christ, he is a lost sinner a leper. Leprosy Is a type of sin. Note its characteristics: Loathsome, hereditary, infectious, separating, destructive, deceitful, incurable by man. 11. The Faithful Witness (vv. 2-4). This was a Jewish maid who had been captured by marauding Syrian troops wiio made frequent incursions into Israel’s hind for the purpose of plunder. Though she was the victim of a great wrong, she was not bitter against her captors. She, no doubt, was lonely and home-sick and perhaps frightened, but she trusted God for her keeping, and was thoughtful to do good. Daniel at a later date was carried away captive, and he likewise was used of God to bless many. Joseph is another example of one who was put into a hard place, but became ' a blessing to others, even to the saving of his brothers, who sold him. Many times even children are placed in positions of hardship and suffering, but if they trust Hi God and are faithful to Him they can do good. This Jewish inahl pointed out to tids great man the (Ine who could heal him. Many are the persons who have been pointed to Christ as the Healer of souls by children. 111. Naaman Seeking the Healer (vv. 5 9). 1. lie goes with a letter of introduction an<l great gifts (v. 5). in the East valuable gifts are taken along when in quest of gome favor. In this case the value was perhaps sso 000. 2. He goes to the wrong place (vv. 6,7). The maid did not suggest that if Naaman would be with the king he would be recovered of his leprosy, but witli the prophet of God. We should be very careful that we go to the right place with our troubles and sins. Neither the king's power nor Naaman’s money could avail anything in this case. The prophet of God can bring greater blessing than kings and rich men. 3. Naaman at the door of Elisha (vv. 8,9). Elisha, upon learning of the king’s embarrassment, sent to him, saying, “Let him come now to me.” Naaman appeared before Elisha’s door in great splendor. He did not come as a suppliant, but as one who could pay a goodly sum for healing. IV. Naaman Healed (vv. 10-15). 1. Elisha’s message (v. 10). Go wash in Jordan seven times. 2. Naaman’s anger (vv. 11, 12). He thought that Elisha should have shown deference to him. People today think that their rank and wealth entitle them to different treatment by God. They turn away from the humble way of the Cross, God’s method of salvation. Rich and poor, high and low are alike in God’s sight. Reasonings of the flesh must be supplanted by the obedience of faith. 3. Naaman’s obedience (vv. 13, 14). Through the earnest entreaty of his servants his pride and prejudice were overcome, and he did what the prophet commanded. The result of his obedience was that his flesh “came again as the flesh of a little child.” 4. Naaman acknowledges Jehovah (v. 15). After his cleansing he came again to the prophet and said, “Now I know that there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel.” The vital point of teaching in this lesson is how nearly Naaman missed being healed. The three enemies which almost kept him from being healed were: (1) Pride (v. 11). He was insulted because the man of God did not come out to such a distinguished man as be was. (2) Preconceived opinion (v. 11). “I thought.” Many sinners procrastinate because they have preconceived opinions as to how God ought to save. (3) Prejudice (v. 12). Rivers of Damascus are better than Jordan. Countless thousands are lost by these eremies. God has provided only one way to save men from their sins—the way of the Cross. Power of Young Men. What a power is a resurrected young man' He becomes a power in any calling or business in which he may employ his best talents. He is a power in the church, and the world needs such young men today. He is the power vhich will bring this nation through its time of testing, and make it a blesing. not only to its own people, but to all the nations of the earth. Resurrections are miracles which never cease. The spirit of the living God is working in the hearts and minds of men and women to lift them out of sir and death, into the glorious Use and liberty of the children of God. May that spirit find response in jour heart today.

NOT LIKE EXCURSION TICKET Affliction Could Only Be Relied On to Take its Possessor in One Direction. Samuel Gompers at a labor banquet was condemning certain ultraradical policies. “Such policies," he said, “will get us Into trouble right enough, but will they get us out again? Listen, gentlemen, to a fable. “In a lunatic asylum there was a lunatic nicknamed Solomon because it was his custom to call every newly arrived lunatic up and question him about his infirmity, afterwards dismissing him with a kind of Solomonesque opinion or verdict. "Weil, one day Solomon called up a new lunatic who hud a very stiff walk. “ What may be your trouble, friend? he said. “ 'l've got a glass rod In the middle of my back,' the new lunatic answered. , “ “A glass rod in the middle of your back, eh?’ And Solomon chuckled. ‘Well, friend, a glass rod in the middle of your back will bring you here, but you’ll find that it will never take you out.’ ” Shave With Cutlcura Soap And double your razor efficiency at well as promote skin purity, skin comfort and skin health.

FROM "PERSONAL” COLUMN Items Which the Reader May or May Not Consider as of Really Absorbing Interest. Mrs. Salomy Saddler spanked little Claudy Saddler so vigorously before he went to bed last night that he opened up his prayer with, “Now I stand me up to sleep.” At this writing, shirts are so cheap that Hash Beener is wearing two of them at once, to make up for lost time. Gabe Saddler, who brought a box of candy the other day, and discovered a bit later that he had got back a counterfeit quarter in change, says It served him right for being in love. Mitch Mudge, our weather prophet, had the corn-ache so bad yesterday that lie went out and stole an umbrella some place. According to Os Peachblow, the ab-sent-udndedest person in the world can concentrate while removing a porous [flaster from himself. —Wayside Tales. Gives Deaf Partial Hearing. A new development by which partly deaf persons may be made to hear, was shown recently at a meeting of the Faraday society. Kilbur Scott exhibited crystals of rochelle salt, made artificially, which possessed the remarkable power of reproducing sounds. Mr. Scott explained that deaf persons could wear a small crystal behind the ear, connected witli a little soundbox worn over the chest. The sounds of conversation would then be transmitted to the ear-drum in the form of vibrations which would enable them to hear. And Is Never Recovered. Professor—Under what combination is gold most quickly released? Student —Marriage, sir ! Sticking Close to Her Work. Her Friend —“What is your favorite part of the Bible?” Telephone Girl—- “ The Book of Numbers.” People will be all right as soon as they forget tiiis year and begin to hope for next year. When you find the truth in your way you may be sure that you are on the wrong side.

Why does any healthy person want to be kicked into wakefulness in the morning?

Postum for Health—“ There’s a Reason' Made by Postum Cereal Co., Inc., Battle Creek. Mich.

THIN FRAIL PEOPLE SHOULIME TANLAC Hundreds of Men and Women All Over America Appear To Be Physical Wrecks Simply Because Their Systems Are Starving for Nourishment. There are hundreds of thin, run-down, nervous men and women all over the United States who should be strong, sturdy and \ igorous, with rich, red blood tingling through their veins and feeling brimful of life and energy, if they would only profit by the experience of others all over the United States and Canada, and assist nature to digest the food they eat, by simply taking Tanlac.

Millions of people have not only been relieved of the most obstinate forms of dyspepsia and indigestion by Tanlac after other remedies have failed, but large numbers of them have reported a remarkable and rapid increase in weight and a return to normal health and strength by its use. In fact, so phenomenal have been the gains in weight by thin, frail people through the use of Tanlac that this remarkable preparation is now being proclaimed everywhere as the World’s Greatest Tonic. The food people eat does them absolutely no good unless they digest it properly. When you suffer from indigestion and other forms of stomach trouble, the food does you harm instead of good, because food which is not digested stays in the stomach and ferments, causing pains, swelling, gas on stomach, shortness of breath, bad taste in the mouth, dizziness and many other disagreeable symptoms. If this condition is permitted to run on for an indefinite period the entire

“The Way to the Heart." A Long Island bachelor was showing a friend from New York over his estate. When they reached the sheepfold the woolly inmates, catching sight of their master, came bleating to the gate. “See how these innocent creatures love me, Harry?" said the landholder. "Love, nothing I” chortled the city man. “They come to you because they’re hungry, and they think you’re going to feed them." "Harry,” replied the other solemnly, “when you have reached a certain age that passes for love.”—American Legion Weekly. Reason for His Preference. Richard was fond of a neighbor and liked to spend the greater part of every day at her home. (hie day I said: “Why, Richard, I believe you like Mrs. Ford better than mother.” “Well,” he replied, “she isn't always washing me up.” It is sometimes hard to forgive our friends for our loneliness. Learning makes a silly man a thousand times more insufferable.

Many people feel that they have to be agitated into wakefulness in the morning. They think that without the tea or coffee they take in the morning that they will not be able to meet the tasks and duties of the day. Nothing could be more false than this reasoning. Any doctor can tell you this. For a healthy body does not require a stimulant. It gets all the stimulant it needs from food. The the-n and caffeine found in tea and coffee are irritating to the heart and nervous system. They jolt the nerves into undue activity. The result is a reaction. This is why regular tea and coffee drinkers think they must have their stimulant the first thing in the morning to wind them up for the day. If you will stop using tea and coffee for a week, and drink

system becomes saturated with poisons, the patient becomes thin and pale and in time various complications are apt to result. Tanlac is a powerful reconstructive tonic and quickly overcomes this condition by aiding nature to eliminate the impurities from the system in a ; natural way and enable the vital organs to properly perform their functions. That is why it is called Nature’s Medicine. In fact, there is not a single portion of the body that is not benefited by the helpful action of Tanlac, which i begins its work by stimulating the digestive and assimilative organs, thereby enriching the blood and invigorating the entire system. Next, it enables the weak, worn-out stomach to thoroughly digest its food and convert the nourishing elements into bone, blood and muscle. The result is you feel strong, sturdy and wel with the proper amount of flesh, as Nature intended. Sold by all good druggists.
