Os course we know that onr medicine does benefit the large majority of women who take iL But that only two out of 100 received no benefit i* most astonishing. It only goes to prove, however, that a medicine specialized for certain definite ailments —not a cure all —one that is made bv the most scientific process; not from drugs, but from a combination of natures roots and herbs, can and d<M*s do more good than hastily prepared prescriptions. You see. we have been making, improving and refining this medicine for over 60 years until it is so perfect and so well adapted to women’s need* that it actually has the virtue to benefit 98 out of every 100 women who take it Its reliability and recognized efficiency has gained for it a sale in almost every country in the world —leading all others.

INTERMEDIATE ANO SENIOR TOPIC — How Elijah Defied Wickedness. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC ■ -What Modern Reformers Can Learn lirom Elijah. I. Elijah Meets Ahab. (vv. 17. 18). At the Lord’s command Elijah showed himself to Ahab. When Elijah last was seen by Ahab he anlounced that rain would only be given । by his word (17:1). In connection with the prophet’s appearance before the king, rain was promised. 1. Ahab’s Question. “Art thou he that troubleth Israel?” (v. 17). Ahab's ilm was to intimidate Elijah, to awe him into submission. 2. Elijah's Answer, (v. 18). He denied the charge and boldly de•lared that the calamity which had befallen the nation was caused by the idolatry of Ahab and his family. 11. Elijah’s Challenge, (vv. 1924). 1. The People Assembled, (vv. 19, 20). The king convened the people at the urgent request of Elijah. 2. Elijah’s Ringing (’all to Decision (vv. 21 21). (1) The question asked. •Who is your God, Baal or the Lord?” (v. 21). Many of the people had not wholly forsaken God. They attempted to worship both God and Baal. Many today are halting between two opinions. They are haling between self and Savior. sin and holiness, mammon and God. (2) The (Hence of the people, (v. 21). This may have been because of fear of the king or of Ignorance, for many were of the opinion thnt to be religious i was the only thing necessary. Ir•espective of the being worshiped. Then- Is nil the difference between merely worshiping an<l really wor- ‘ ’hlping God that there Is between hell and heaven. (3) The method of decision (vv. 22-24). Two sacrifices were to be provided—one to be offered to Baal, the other to God. The god who answered by fire was to be Che God. The people consented that this was n fair test. Accepted sacrifice is the grand nisi supreme test by which God 1* calling upon men everywhere to make the decision between Christ and the heathen gods, j The proof that the atonement of Christ manqitisl by God is sufficient to lover all sin Is that God raised Him from the dead. (Rom. 4:25). 111. The Test Applied, (vv. 25-29). 1. The Offering by the Prophets of Baal (vv. 25-29). Elijah gave the prophets of Baal the first opportunity to prove to the people as to whether Baal was a real god. To deni unfairly in any test betrays weakness tn the position taken. These prophets had the advantage of all-day prayer, united prayer and earnest prayer, as evidenced by their persist eno* and even cutting themselves. The real difference in the Issue of prayer is the person to whom prayer is made, not merely the earnestness with which it is made. 2. The Offering by Elijah (vv. 3039>. (1) The people invited near (v. 30). His object was for them tc ; see the entire proceedings in order to fully grasp the genuineness of the test. (2). The altar repairs (vv. 3032). Elijah took twelve stones representing the united nation. (3). The offering on the altar (vv. 33-35). After the bullock was in place he had four barrels of water three times emptied upon the sacrifice and the wood so as to fill the trench about the altar. So sure was Elijah that God’s power was sufficient that he heaped difficulty upon difficulty. (4). Elijah's prayer (vv. 36. 37). (a) It was based upon covenants (v. ,36). The foundation upon which all real prayer rests is covenant relationship, (b) Its object was God’s exaltation (v. 36). Elijah was jealous for God’s glory. His supreme desire was to honor and magnify the Lord, (c) It was for the salvation of the people, (v. 37). His heart yearned after Israel. He was most desirous that they should come to God. (5) The remit (vv. 38, 39). (a) The fire of the Lord fell and consumed not only the sacrifice but the wood, stones and dust, even licking up the water in the trench, (b) The people fell on their faces and confessed that the Lord was the God. IV. The Execution of Baal’s Prophjts (v. 40). The reason for this drastic action was that Israel's government was a theocracy. God was their king, idolatry was treason against the king.. These false prophets were traitors to God and therefore should die. V. God’s Prophet Vindicated, (vv. 41-46). The proof that Elijah was God’s prophet was incomplete till rain came. Israel under his ministry had now turned back to God and God made known unto them His graeiousness. The Will of God. The will of God Is righteous dealing, and love, and forbearance, and nope—forward-looking —ami joy. You know what these words mean. They are not shadows. You know that, in proportion as you follow after these things, the sky is brighter above you and in your dwellings is fulness of Joy. You know that the common daylight is transfigured, that the dnilx task is hallowed, that the familiar faces of those with whom you live shine with a luster of beauty and of peace: and why? Because you have entered -nto the will of God. —Shorttioues.

INSIDE PAGE OF JOURNALISM Same Thing Has Been Known to Exist In Other Cities Besides the French Capital. Some years ago there were in Paris two papers, the Razor and the Scor- . pion, which were always attacking I each other. Every week people bought the Razor to read how it cut at the Scorpion and then purchased the Scorpion to learn how it stung the Razor. A certain philanthropist, feeling pained to see such animosity displayed, invited s he two editors to dine in the hope that over a’good fare he could make peace between them. At the appointed time one lean, melancholy man presented himself and was ushered in. After an interval, as no other guest appeared, the host demanded : “May I ask, are you the editor of | the Razor or the Scorpion?” “Both,” said the sad-eyed man. Sheffield (Eng.) Telegraph. Platform Wit. At a political gathering a man named Haj was called upon to move a resolution. The gentleman was decidedly persona non grata to many fn the audience, and they drowned his voice with their tumult. The chairman vainly tried to restore order; at last, getting exasperated, he shouted at the top of his voice: “Will you hear Mr. Hay?” “No,” yelled the disturbers. “Then all I’ve got to say is that this Is the first instance on record of Jackasses refusing hay.” Why, of Course.

Was That Much French. Richard G. Herndon, play producer, had an encounter with a pass fiend | and explained to him that the play he asked to see for nothing was a success, and that it was impossible to grant any professional or other courtesies. Mr. Herndon tells what happened : "'You are French, aren’t you?* the applicant demanded. “I speak the language,” I admitted, "but I am an American.” “ ‘You follow the French slogan, anyway,’ he insisted. ‘You follow the French command that "they shall not pass” anyway.’ ” —New York Herald. — Airplane Hospitals.

Another Whack at Lawyers. During the course of a trial some years ago. a witness was asked by the prosecuting attorney if he knew what it meant to take an oath. He replied: “To take an oath means that yon swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.” “What happens if you do not tell the truth?” asked the judge. ‘lf you do not tell the truth, your honor,” replied the witness, “it means that you are dishonored in the sight of God, dishonored in the sight of man—ln fact, you are dishonored in the sight of everyone except lawyers.” —Everybody’s.
