Mrs. Eula Mae Reid, of this place, "that
Cardul, the woman's tonic, has done me
a great deal of good.
Before I commenced using Cardul, 1
would spit up everything I ate. I had a
bred, sleepy feeling all the time, and was
irregular. 1 could hardly drag around,
and would have severe headaches con

Since taking Cardul, I have entirely

gained 10 pounds in weight"

wrong to suffer.
For half a century, Cardul has been re
lieving just such ills, as is proven by the
thousands of letters, similar to the above,
which pour into our office, year by year.
Cardul is successful because it is com

WE SHOULD BE GRATEFUL
LESSON FOR AUGUST 30
A DAY OF QUESTIONS.
I.EB80N TEXT Matt. 2M8-2X.
GOLDEN TEXT "They eay unto Him.
Caesar's. Then said He unto them, ren
der therefore unto Caesar the thing that
are Caesar's; and unto God the things
that are God's." Matt. 12:11 R. V.
The title of this lesson suggests
more than the portion of Scripture se
lected seems to warrant. We have
Been in previous lessons how the Mas
ter condemned and denounced the
rulers by his teaching in parables.
This led the Pharisees to take coun
sel how they might ensnare him (v.
15). Three questions' were asked, one
political, one doctrinal and one ethi
cal. Our next lesson deals with the
third question.
Secret Methods.
I. The First Question, w. 15-22.
This parable of the wicked husband
man (ch. 21) seems to have been
clearly understood by the Pharisees
(v. 45). While It stung it did not
brins them to repentance. The hard
ening effect of unaccepted truth Is one
of its most terrible results upon the
human heart. The record tells us
plainly (ch. 21:46) why these Phari
sees were withheld from at once put
ting Jesus out of the way. They
therefore resorted to secret methods
and endeavored to bring him into con
flict with the Roman government. The
Pharisees entered into this plot to en
tangle Jesus with their most deter
mined enemies, the Herodian party
(Mark 12:13). It was a good scheme
from their viewpoint to get Jesus to
utter something treasonable and then
to turn him over to Herod, who was
a puppet of Rome. These Pharisees
scorned to pay taxes to this same gov
ernment with which they are now con
niving. They began with words of
smooth flattery (v. 16). The devil is
never so subtile, so dangerous nor so
malicious as when he flatters. Apart
from Jesus each party would have
given quite a different reply to this
question. In fancy we can see them
as they must have gloatingly ex
claimed, "Now we will see him en
trapped." If Jesus declared it illegal
to pay tribute to Caesar they could at
once formulate a charge of sedition
against him. On the other hand, for
him to declare it proper thus to pay
tribute to a foreign government would
seem to them for him to deny his mes-
slanto claim, according to their under
standing of the messianic program.
Calling for a Roman denarius, a
legal taxpaying coin worth about 17
cents, be asked, "Whose is this image
and superscription?" "Caesar's," they
reply, and by those, words they have
caught themselves and not Jesus. His
reply was, In effect, "Very well, you
accept the money of Rome, you must
by that act accept the responsibility
which accompanies it." Jesus first of
all denounces their hypocrisy and then
exposes the folly of their question.
HI Teaching la Plain.
II. The 8econd Question, v. 23-33,
The rationalistic Sadducees, who did
not believe in the resurrection at all,
now try to entrap Jesus by question
ing him along the line of their p&rtlcu
lar doctrine. The teaching of Jesus
is' plain and unequivocal as to the res
urrection of the body and the Immor
tality of the soul. Jesus seems in this
reply rather to ignore the first and
to strike at the second, which is more
fundamental. Their plan of attack
was very scholarly and philosophical
and was designed to show the absurd,
lty of his teaching and thus by ridi
cule discredit his standing. It is al
ways a favorite way for those who
quibble to Imagine a suppositious case
and then to put a subtile question. In
this case our Lord, by one sentence
demolished their well-planned attack.
"Ye do err, not knowing the Scrip,
tures, nor the power of God."
The Teaching. Jesus here shows ue
the true relation of himself and of hia
people to political questions. He rec
ognizes the authority of human gov.
ernment and it is his will that his fol
lowers shall enjoy the liberties or
privileges which that government has
to offer; at the same time they are to
Bubmlt themselves to its requirements
under one clearly stated condition,
viz., God's supreme will. In so far as
the laws of the state are just and
true and in harmony with the law of
God It is the duty of Christian people
to support and to obey them. Jesus
would ally himself with neither party,
thereby avoiding complicity with any
measure of evlL We may likewise
maintain a similar relationship with
God and speak with authority in the
correction of abuses, and in the direc
tion of civlo and national life.
' We have purposely included the sec
ond question inasmuch as the next les
son concerns the third of this group,
which ought to be studied as a whole.
Jesus was ever ready to meet any
question. He never equivocated, but
lifts his answer out of the realm of
the controversial into that of abiding
principles. Jesus denounced the hy
pocrisy of his assailants, condemned
their ignorance of the law they so
loudly professed to obey and pro
claimed at the same time the immor
tality of the soul and the resurrection
of the body. He emphasizes maa'a
responsibility to his government. I
Americans Will Feel Effect of War
Europe's Great Plight
New York Herald.
In no pharasaical, better-than-thou
spirit, but in all humility, Americans
should be deeply grateful for. the
many and manifold blessings that are
theirs today. We feel the effects of
this European war in this country, are
already feeling it. But when we pon
der the plight of other peoples as
peace-loving and as wedded to the
arts of peace as ourselves, how piti
fully small must our troubles appear
in comparision!
Industry in every line is paralyzed
throughout all Europe. Workers have
been called to the battlefield. Money
like men must devote itself to t' t su
preme purpose of national defense.
Here industry goes on. If business
in this country should become serious
ly affected the workers may yet feel
the pinch of enforced retrenchment,
but he will have the opportunity to
sue his labor in peace with knowledge
that its fruits are going to the main
tenance of the loved ones dependent
upon hm.
And the women! Premier Vivani's
eloquent appeal to the women of
France to harvest the growing crops
bring home to us all that war means.
As they have always done in the
past, the splendid women of France
will rise to the exigencies of the na
tional need. And so, too, will the
spIendM .omen of Germany, and of
Russia, of Austria, and of Servia. For
the rr.;n the plough share and prun
ing I;o)k have been converted into
weapons of var, but the women and
the chi'.c'.-n must take thpir places
in the fields or nations wili starve.
The theory of war is all wrong, but
this is not the time to be debating the
ories. The tragic picture being un
folded before our eyes the spectacle
of a mighty continet in titanic con
flict, with thousands of men slaugh
tered and tens of thousands facing
certainty of death, while not sorrow
alone but struggle for evisrence con
fronts their women and the'r children
should bring to all Americans rot
only realization of their own blessings
but deepest sympathy for the kindred
peoples now so sorely afflicted; a sym
pathy, which, when opportunity often
should be translated from thought
and words into deeds.

Tho' lightning cleave with lurid flame

mony of Honest Citizens?
Some itme ago I began the use of
your Swamp Root with the most re
markable results. For years I wa3
almost a total wreck an'' as a great
sufferer. The doctors who treated me
made me believe that my great suffer
ings were due to female trouble. I
was so bad at times I would faint
away and had sinking spells. Finally
a new doctor was called in and he said
that I had kidney rtouble and gave me
medicine, of which I took several bot
tles. I obtained some relief from this,
but I was getting weaker all the time.
I could not sleep and suffered so much
pain that my husband and children
had to lift me in and out of bed. Af
ter this two friends sent me word to
try Swamp Root which I did, and I am
glad to state that the first dose gave
me great relief. After taking the
third dose I was helped into bed and
slept half of the night.
1 took several bottles or swamp
Root and I feel that I owe my life to
this wonderful remedy. The two fam
ily doctors said that I could not live
three months. I would have to be
helped in and out of bed ten to twenty
times every night. After taking Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp Root for two days I
was entirely free from getting up and
could sleep soundly.
