YOUNG GIRLSNEED GARE Mothers, watchyour Daughters’ Health Health Is Happiness

From th® time a girl reaches the age of twelve until womanhood is established, she needs all the care a thoughtful mother can give. The condition that the girl is then Sassing through is so critical, and may ave such far-reaching effects upon her future happiness and health, that it is almost criminal for a mother or guardian to withhold counsel or advice. Many a woman has suffered years of prolonged pain and misery through having been the victim of thoughtlessness or ignorance on the part of those who should have guided her through the dangers and difficulties that beset this period. Mothers should teach their girls what danger comes from standing around with cold or wet feet, from lifting heavy articles, and from overworking. Do not let them over-study. If they complain of headacue, pains in the back and lower limbs, they need a mother’s thoughtful care and sympathy. A Household Word in Mother’s House writes Mrs. Lynd, about Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. “My mother gave me Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound when I was 14 years old for troubles girls often have and for loss of weight. Then after I married I took the Vegetable Compound before each child was born and always when I felt the least run down. Both my

IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL Sunday School ’ Lesson ’ (By REV. p. B. FITZWATER. D. D., Teacher ot English Bible in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) Copyright. 1922. Western Newspaper Union. LESSON FOR MARCH 12 AMOS WARNS ISRAEL (TEMPERANCE LESSON) LESSON TEXT—Amos 6:1-8. GOLDEN TEXT—Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging, and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.— Prov. 3>:L REFERENCE MATERIAL- Isa. 6:11. 12. 22. 23; 28:1-13; Hosea 4:11; Gal. 5:19-21. PRIMARY TOPIC—God #ends Amos on an Errand. JUNIOR TOPIC—A Prophet Who Was a Friend to the Poor. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —The Consequences of Self-Indulgence. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —Social Evils Yet to Be Conquered. The kingdom of Israel reached a high state of prosperity in the time ol Jeroboam 11, and with It came a con dition *»f luxury, corruption and wickedness. The judgment woe of this lesson is directed against the sins ot the uppei classes in Samaria. The same sins art practiced in America, in the nation and in the church. With the increase of wealth in America lias come luxury, corruption and gross wickedness which staggers the imagination. It behooves all to give a listening ear. for God will eventually enter into Judgment. Gui lesson is a temperance lesson. Temperance applies to other things than indulgence in intoxicating liquor. Gui age is intoxicated with pleasure, pursuit of gain and selfish ambition. I. Reckless Security (vv. 1-3). They were blind to the perils that surrounded them. They were living in a fool's paradise, closing their eyes to the approaching storm of Judgment as predicted by Amos. They trusted In the mountains of Samaria for their protection. They regarded their city as impregnable. They no doubt regarded the utterance of Amos as impracticable—the dreams ot a fanatic. The tragic thing about this blindness on the part of the chief ones of the nation was they were so puffed up with pride that they failed to read the signs of the times in the light ot history (v. 2.) The cities of Calneh and Hamath, though great and mighty, had fallen. To disregard the lessons of history, to dismiss the thought of impending judgment, is to bring near the “seat of violence" (v, 3). Let chaotic Europe and Russia be the red lights of warning to America, and let all injustice and class selfishness be laid aside. 11. Luxury (vv. 4-6).

The luxury of these upper classy In Famaria expressed Itself in: 1. Extravagant furniture (v. 4). They had beds of ivory—perhnps wool Inlaid with ivory. Costly ns their furniture was In that day. It was commonplace us compared to some of the expensive furniture and fittings in our great cities, 2. Laziness (v. 4). They stretched themselves upon their couches —lived lives of indolence. Such is the way of many still. 3. feasted on delicacies (v. 4). The implication here is that they had their dainties out of season This is what many of the rieh pride themselves in. 4. Adorn their feasts with music (v. 5). They sang idle songs—even invented musical instruments for this purpose. They prostituted the noble art <>f music to their sensual feasts. 5. They drank wine (v. G). They were not content with ordinary drinking vessels. They drunk from bowls, indicating excessive drinking. They were so mastered by the intoxicating cup that their feasts which were adorned with ’’he refinements of music ended in drunkenness. • 111. Failure to Grieve for Joseph (v. 6). Joseph iiere stands for Ephraim and Manasseh, his two sons. Ephraim became the principal tribe of the northern kingdom, so Joseph Is used as a synonym for the nation. The upper classes were indulging in these effeminate luxuries, entirely indifferent to the groanings of the masses. And whenever such a condition exist in a nation there is need of Amos to thunder Gods judgment upon those who are guilty of it. IV. The Inevitable Issue (vv. 7,8). 1. They shall go into captivity (v. 7). The northern nation was first in sin, therefore first to go into captivity. What a striking contrast this picture! Instead of lying on ivory couches feasting upon dainties, they are with the suffering exiles. 2. The certainty of the issue (v. 8). It is inevitable because of God’s nature. He is a God of justice. He has sworn that Judgment shall fall. He is the God of hosts —the controller of the whole universe, therefore none can escape. God hates the wickedness of the world, and. He will bring into Judgment the men and women who revel in luxury with no concern for the poor and needy. Though God waits long. He does not forget. The only escape for America Is repentance. Meditation. We can walk with the Holy Spirit by taking our Bibles, and, even if we have only two or three minutes a day. meditating upon the Holy Scriptures. Reading the Bible in that way. reading a little every day. is like burning coal, because by burning coal we lii»erate the fire and life of long ago. Coal is the old vegetation pressed d >wn in the earth, and when it Is brought out and lighted we are bringing out the heat and light of long ago for this generation. That is exactly what we do when we meditate upon the Bible: we'liberate the inspiration of years ago.— The Bishop of London. Church the Teaching Body. The church founded by Jesus Christ is the teaching body. Thank God! it brings us the Bible that safeguards the teaching of the church, because the written record prevents the church from drifting away in its teaching to all kinds of developments which are nway f om the primitive deposit and the primitive faith. —The Bishop of Lnndot.
