INTKODUCTION Philip Brooks, the great American preacher, said hut these words are the 'pearl of he utterances of the Master." 'Certainly they take high rank mon-g the wonderful sayings of Him who spake as never man did. They are among the most familiar of the words of the Christ, and are very beautiful and highly signifi cant. First The invitation "Come unto me. I he Book contains many of these gracious invitations. In the ancient prophecy of Isaiah we find God inviting men to come in such words as these: ' Ho, every one that thirsteih, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk with out money and without price." And again in the same prophecy, we read, "Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool." In the closing chapter of Revela tion, there is given a final invitaiion before the record of the Book is closed. "And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will let him take of the water of life freely." Christ says, "Come unto me " Our Lord invites men not to any particular creed or church, but to Him. He is the way, the Truth and the Life. No man cometh unto the Father save by Him. Principal Forsythe declares that when we come to Christ, we come into Christ, into the richness and fullness of His love, into vital un ion and fellowship with our Lord. Skcond The invitation is not only gracious and personal, but is universal. "All ye that lab r and are heavy laden," includes both saint and sinner. The redeemed of the Lord are invited to roll their burdens on the Master. They are invited to come to Him with all their heart aches, iheir sufferings, (heir sorrows. "Casting all your care upon Him for He careth fur you." The sinner, loo, is invited to come. It is a universal invita tionall. God's grace is limitless and the provisions of salvation are SUNSHINEOFTHE BIBLE Life Was a Misery Mrs. i. M. Jones, dt Palmer, Okla., writes i " From the time 1 en tered into womanhood ... I looked with dread Irom one month to the next. I tufiercd with my back and bearing-down pain, until life to me !l t misery. I would think I could not endure the pain any longer, and I gradually got worse. . Nothing seemed to help me until, one day, . I decided to TAKE 1 The Woman's Tonic "I took lour bottles," Mrs. Jones goes on to My, "and was not only greatly relieved, but can truthtully say that I havt aot a pain. . . , ' It has now bean two yean since I tookCardul, and I am still in good beatth. . . I would ad vise any woman or girl to use Cardul who it t sufferer Irom any lemale trouble." U you suffer paia caused Irom womanly trouble, or II you leel the need ol a good strengthening tonie to build up your run-down system, take the advice ol Mrs. Jones. Try Car dul. It helped bet.

All Druggists Near BaUbclor't Opera House, WELDON, N .C For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord will give grace and glory; no good thing will he withhold from them thai walk uprightly. Psalms, Ixxxiv,2. The sunshine of the Bible there is no light so fair, There is no light that leads' the world so far from trial and care; There is no light forever can bring to hearis that bleed Such comfort and such sunshine in ihe dark hour of their need : The sunshine of the Bible, Through dusk, and night and dew, The old light and the gold light, The deathless light and true I The soldier from the conflict, wiih his wounded heart and mind, A strength for life renewing in its lovely light doth find; The toiler at the spindles and the mill-wheels looks, and lo, The sunshine of the Bible is the light thai helps him go : The sunshine of the Bible, The sweet lights and the blest; Down in dark hearts of trouble lis soft rays lead to rest I In field or mighty mountain, wherever grief may be, In temples of the roaring maris or on the great high sea. With soft, sweet flooding beauty it comes on glorious wing, And, lo, the sudden winter turns back to softest spring : The sunshine of the Bible, In care, in toil, in strife, The dear light and the clear light That leads to endless life ! Where tempests rage and thunder leaps down the awful sky, The sunshine of the Bible bids the glittering lightnings fly. In youth, in age, in battle; in peace, in stress, in trial. It brings all souls its comforts and it lights all lips with smile : The sunshine of ihe Bible, Oh, where it falls, or when, The dark dreams of the ages Fade and leave us once more men ! PATIENT WITH MOTHER Oh, maybe she seems to grow queer as the days Go gliding away into years; And maybe you tire of her strange little ways, And don't understand her tears. And maybe the things thai are down in her heart Are things that you know nothing of Old mother, still striving to keep up her part, To tireless and tender her love ! A linle more patient with her till the end, More thoughtful, and careful, and sweet. She's been such a comrade and teacher and friend, In the storm and the strife and heal, And maybe the things that she thinks of loday Are far from your knowledge, your ken Old mother, grown leeble and palsied and gray, But when has she failed you, say when ? A little more willing to bear with her whims, To cheer her and love her along Ah, many a vision in front of her swims, And the echo of many a song. And maybe she dwells in a world far apart From your petty and trivial things Old mother, with something still left in her heart Thai looks out of ihe window and Sings ! for all who through repentance and laiilt turn to Christ. Third To ihose who accept the invitutioa and come to Him, Jesus Christ offers rest of soul and heart as a free gift. He who makes this wondrous offer has the power to fulfill it. Jesus said, "I and my father are one." He also declared, "All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth." The pronoun I in the original is emphat ic, as if to call attention to the fact that Jesus wished men to under stand that what ihe religious lead ers of the day, ihe Scribes and Pharisees could not and did not do, he could and would do. "I will give you rest." He offers ihis priceless boon as a gift, with out money and wiihout price. "But the free gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." And rest of soul is what this old, war-tern, sorrow - swept world most needs. Christ will give us the rest that remaineih for the peo ple of God wherever we may be in life. He will give it to men in Ihe mad struggle of business. He will give it to them in the sick room. The peace He bestows is such that the world cannot take away. Reader, have you found Ihis rest that Jesus promises? Conclusion. Ringing down through the ages comes these ten der words of our Lord. Amid the crash of empires, they strike upon our ears like bells ai evening peal ing. Men are offering all kinds of panaceas for the ills thai afflict ihe body politic. Schemes and plans of various kinds are being exploit ed and advertised. But what a weary world most needs is that which Jesus here offers. And there is only one way to find this No man-made precepts will suTice He who swung empires off iheir hinges and changed the course of history. He, and He alone, can heal ihe wounds of ihe race. "And I, if I be lifted up, will draw all men unlo me. Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORIA PRETTY LEGEND OF GARNETS. Apache Indians Believe Spirit ol Chiefs Daughter Imparts Talis manic Power to Stones. There is a garnet mine in Arizo na so rich in gems lhat the owners sometimes say the whole mountain in which it is located is a mountain of garnets. The Apache Indians, near whose reservation the moun tain stands, have a strange myth concerning the garnets. One night centuries ago, ihey say, the little daughter of a great chief died. As her spirit passed out, the Indians gathered about saw a multitude of sparks fly up from the the tepee and drifting through the air in a shining cloud settle on the moun tain side, where they shone like star dust, making the mountain bright. Later, ihey declare, the sparks which continued to shine, never growing cold or dead, sank into the earth and became garnets The Indians believe that the spirit of the chief's daughter still stands guard over the mountain and imparts to all the garnets found there talismanic powers to bring good luck to all who wear them. These garnets are mined and sold all over the country in rings, necklaces and bracelets for pale-face maids. Many of the gar net rings are made in swastiki de signthe Indian good-luck sign and any who happened to buy one may be sure of prosperous fortune everaiierward. Chronic Constipation.
