Faets About Indigestion and Its Relief
That Should Interest You.
Although Indigestion and Dyspepsia
are so prevalent, most people do not
thoroughly understand their cause and
enre. There la no reason why most
people should not eat anything they
desire?if they will only chew It carefully
and thoroughly. Many actually
starve themselves Into sickness through
fear of eating every good-looking, goodsmelling,
and good-tasting food, because
It does not agree trlth them.
The best thing'to do is to fit yourself
to digest any good[ food.
We believe we can Klieve Dyspepsia.
We a re so confid nt of this fact
that we guarantee and >romiae to supply
tb* medicine free of all cost to

THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.
Text of tho Loooon. Matt ii, 1-12.
Memory Vtw. 11, 12?Golden Toxt,
Luke li,' 11?Commentary Prepared
by Rev. D. M. fttearne.
e
We choose the Christinas lesson for
today and will take up the study in
Malachk next week instead of the
quarterly review. Malar hi tells of the
i great King whose pame is to be great
among all nations from tile rising of
I Ine sun unto the goiug down of the
jrsame, even of Iliin who 1s King u?
f kings nitft Lord of lords (Mai. 1. 11-14,
Rev. xvil, 14; xix, it:.. The New Testament
opens wiili His record as" Son
of David. Sou of Abraham, and closes
with His title as the root and offspring
of David (Matt. 1. 1; Rev. xsli.
1G). Among all the kings mentioned
in Matt. I. 1-11. David Is the ou.'y
one who is called kiug. because the
| covenant was made with him and because
of his relation to the Messiah ^
i (II Sam. vii: I Chrou. xvil: Isa. lv, C: ^
lx. T; Luke 4, 32. 33; Acts xfll, 32-34). i
j We come to this lesson and to the les- 1
; sons of next year with Implicit cond- %
i dence in the record and all its state ^
j meuts?the supernatural birth, accord A
ing to i. 18-20; the fulfillment of Isaiah
1 vli. 14, according to verses 22, 23. and A
1 all else. l*?Meving also that not only A
as Jeeus does He deliver us from the A
| wrath to come (1 Tbees. i, 10h but
that He is able to save His people 4
I from their sins (i. 21). He was fore- A
j ordained before the foundation of the A
world, and vghen the fullness of the
; time was come God sent forth ' Ills %
Son. made of a woman, made under A
I the law. to redeem them that .'were 5
under the law (I Pet. 1, 20: Gal. iv, 4, C). j
The appearance of Gabriel to Mary ^
with the wonderful announcement, the A
worldwide decree which brought Joseph
and Mary to Bethlehem from j
Nazareth at the appointed time^ the %
message of the angel to the shepherds A
with the accompanying incidents and ^
the actual birth at Bethlehem are all ^
fully told by Luke in his gospel. Our A
lesson today touches only the visit of A
the wise men from the east while the A
I Babe and His Mother were still at ^
Bethlehem. The title "wise men" V
i takes us back to Ex. vii, 11; Dan. 11. A
18; v. 8. The word "Bethlehem" ^
I takes us lack to the birth of Benja- ^
mln and the death of his mother, the A
story of Naomi aud Ruth, the she;)- A
herd days of David.
The question, "Where is He that is %
bom King of the Jews?" takes us back A
; to the prediction of. Mic.r v. 2, as j A
quoted in lesson verses 5, G, and spe- j
daily to the saying. "Ont of thee I w
, shall come a governor that shall rule I
i my people Israel." All the children
.are taught that He was born at Betli |
lehem, but who ever bears anything
about His ruling Israel or sitting on
the throne of David? Yet that Is A
what lie Vame to do. but no has nev- m
' er yet done it. As truly as He was m
born at Bethlehem He win yet reign f
' over Israel*, according to Jer. xxlilf %
I 5, G; Ezck. xxxvii, 21; Gabriel's iner. m
sage in Luke I. 32, 33; His own word M
j to His disciples In Luke xxii. 30. and ^
|'the prophets everywhere. The Scrip- A
ture must be fulfilled, and no other M
j meaning can be honestly given to W
| these plain words. The visit of these, f
i wise men from the east to worship %
j the King of the Jews and to bring A
! Him their gifts reminds us of the m
j visit of the queen of Sheba and all ^
the kings of the earth to Rnlnmnn nnrt A
their great Rifts to him (II Chron. m
i ix, 1-9; xxlii. 24) and points us ou W
I ward to the time of the kingdom ?
; when oil nations shall brtng their %
wealth and their Rifts to Israel (Isa. A
| lx, 1-7). The words of Gabriel to A
; Mary, "The Lord Qod shall give unto 5
| Him the throne of his father, David. A
I and He shall reign over the house of m
' Jacob forever, and of nis kingdom m
| there shall be no end (Lnke 1. 32. 33?. 3
must be literally fulfilled. Then "all m
the ends of the world shalf remember a
I and turn unto the Lord, and all the
! kindreds of the nations shall worship ^
\ before thee, for the kingdom Is the a
Lord's, and He Is the governor among A
the nations" (Fs. xxii. 27, 28). 1 , W
The star that guided these wise men 3
must have been n supernatural light. I
as no ordinary star would guide to 11 #
bouse and remain over the house A
(verse 9). We can only wonder why ^
with such guida?ee they should turn a
aside to Herod and thus be unwitting- A
ly the cause of the death of so many V
little children (verses 10-18), but there 5
was a fulfillment of prophecy in it. I
Having found the child, they opened i
their treasures and offered unto nim A
their gifts?gold and frankincense and ^
myrrh. People are today giving large a
Yj/\o so called good works, buildings. A
libraries and many schemes for the.
betterment of the world, not Relieving 5
