ve years with womanly troubles, also
stomach troubles, and my punishment
was more than any one could tell.
I tried most every kind of medicine,
but none did me any good.
I retd one day about Cardul, the wo
man's tonic, and I decided to try It I
had not taken but about six bottles until
I was almost cured. It did me more
?ood than all the other medicines I had
Vied, put together.
. - My blends began asking me why I
toolced so well, and 1 told them about
CarduL Several are now taking it."

herein contained shall prevent racing
on private race oourses or tracks.
The sheriffs and police offioers are
specially charged with its enforce
ment. la it enforced? If not, why

GASOLINE
Guilty of Large Propor
tion of Deaths
A very large proportion o{ the
deaths from Ore in Kansas or* dm to
carelessness with ksrosen* aftd |uo
llne, according to the atatlstfta of the
Stat* fire marshal.
Both gasoline and karoaane ye used
extensively In cooks toyes during the
summer months, especially In those
sections of the State that hart do nat
ural gas.
When properly used they fr* a won
derful boon to the housewife, espe
cially on the farm where there Is so
much oooklng to do and where neither
natural nor artificial gas Is available.
But carelessness with a gasoline or
kerosene atove is almost criminal. It
Is the mother of the family who han
dles the stove. She cannot be spared.
She owes It te her little ones to take
care of herself.
. The housewife In the itiiiiA Is
dressed In light cotton clothing. Such
garments are Intensely Inflammable.
Even a slight explosion et gasoline
or kerosene Is almost sure to end
fatally. , t
If you use one of these stoves ksep
th;se "itfsvers" In mind:
Never fll) the atove when K Is light
ed or whih there Is a iame of any
sort close by.
Never All a gasollna stove when
there i? ap open light, fire or flame of
any sort anywhere In the room. '
Neve^ allow dirt or litter such as
burned matches or any traces of oil
or grease to remain on o( about . the
stove.
Never keep gasoline in the house.
It Is ?a powerful and more easily ex
ploded than dynamite. Kerosene
should also be kept outside If possible*
especially if kept In an? quantity.?

Lesson VII. ? Third Quarter, For
Aug. 13, 1916.
THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.
Text of the Lesson, II Cor. ix ? Mem
ory Verses, 10, 11 ? Golden Text, Aote
20-35? -Commentary Prepared by Rev.
D. M. Stearns.
Thp topic of this lesson Is "The Grace
of' Giving" and covers chapter vttl, as
well as our lesson chapter, but we can
not refrain from a glance at the whole
epistle even though we shall have an
other study in it In a few weeks. Sec
ond eplstl<& are apt to have special
reference to things future, and this one
is no exception. Notice the renunrec
tion, and the glory, and the things un
seen and eternal of chapter lv, 14-18.
The heart of the lesson is to me t&e
last verse of oiif chapter^ "Thanks be
onto God for His unspeakable gift**
(lx, 15), or as Weymouth has it, "His
unspeakably precious gift." The word
"unspeakable" is used only three times
?here and chapter xil, 4; and I Pet.
i, 8. In each place it is a different
Greek word, and used only this once.
If such a gift from such a God does
not constrain us to be all that He
' would like U3 to bo and do all that he
would like us to- do it Is only another
evidence of our blindncrs and hardness
of heart. This letter is from Paul and
Timothy and has a good deal in It con
cerning suffering and deliverance and
comfort, but specially concerning com- I
fort, as in i. 8,-4; 11. 7; vll, 4. a 7. 18; 1
xlil, 11.
The great adversary is mentioned as
Satan, the God of this world, tho
pent (11, 11; lv, 4; xi, 3). We are taken
back to the first recorded words of God
in the BIMe, "Let there be light." and
are taught (o find there a foreshadow
ing of the llfcbt that shines into our
souls when we are born again by re
ceiving Ills word <iv, 0). Such love
and gracc as were seen In the Lord Je
sus Christ becoming poor for us that
we might sliiflre His riches constrain
ed these people lirst to give ttfcelr own
selves to the Lord mid then, in great
affliction and deep povcrtj\prove the
sincerity of their love by unusual lib
erality (chapters v, 14; vlli, 1-9). They
were so enriched spiritually in every
thing?in faith, in utterauce, in knowl
edge. in diligence, in love ? that they
abouuded in giving to others, so that
Paul wrote them that it was superflu
ous for him to say anything to them
concerning ministering to the saints
(I Cor. 1, 4, 5; IF Cor. -vlli, 7; lx, 1, 11,
12). lie encouraged them by saying
that their steal had provoked many to
do likewise, and now he trusted that
they would be on time with their gifts,
so that his boasting might not seem in
vain fix, 2-.">). There had been the read-"
'iness to do a full year ago, and now it
only remaiued for them to perform the
doing of it .
No one was to be burdened, and there
was to be 110 anxious longing to do
more than they weiv able, but oil must
remember that a willing mind was ev
erything. anil God only expected them
to do that which He gave them the
ability to do (chapter vlli. 10-12). Many
waste time and breath talking of what
they would do if they could, or If they
had the time an;l money which some
one else has. but I am constantly
thankful that we are only responsible
for the use of what God gives us ei
ther of time, or money, or talents, or
ability of any kind.
All our servlce^_must be from the
heart, unto the- Lord and cheerfully
willing, fpr God loveth a cheerful or
hilarious giver (verse 7). God gives
so bountifully, first His beloved Son
"anti then with Him freely all things
(John 111, 16; Rom. vlii, 32). But our
giving is not always on those lines,
'and wo need to remember verse C,
with Prov. xi, 24: "He who soweth
sparingly shall reap also sparingly, and
he who soweth bountifully shall reap
?lso bountifully;" "There is that scat
tereth and yet increaseth, and there is
that wlthholdeth more than is meat,
but it tendeth to poverty." When the
| tabernacle of Moses was built the peo
ple gave so willingly that they had to
be restrained from bringing, and the
same Spirit was manifest on the part
of David and liis people in the matter
of gifts for the temple (I?x. xxxv, 21,
29; xxxVi, 6-7; I Ghron. xxlx, 1-9, 17).
Ever since 1S84 I have found pleas
ure, and profit lu giving to the Lord
at least one-tenth of all that He sends
|pe as au evidence that I recognize that
all la His, and I have found much
blessing In doing this pnd earnestly
commend the plan to others. It is not
Jewish, for It Is ct least as old as the
tlmo of Abraham. Neither is there
any bondage in It, but the most pel*
feet freedom. 1 have associated in*
my mind viil. 0. and lx, 8, of these two
chapters (the figures are easily r&
mem be rod) and rejoice In the grace ot
Him who beenme poor that we might
b% rich and who is able make all
IWe abound toward us, that we. bav
in* such all sufficiency, may abound to |
?vecy good work. I have seen such
cheerful giving on the part of my own I
congregation of less than 300 people,
resulting In ns much as $10,000 a year
for missions, that 1 desire the same
blessing for others. See my tract "Se
cret of Missionary, Interest" Box
Harrisburg. Pa. And note that all
this giving of $! 50, 000 a year from my
church and Bible classes is wholly on
premlllenninl lines, acforclljig to I CdtT I
