SAD-LOOKING MAN SCORED His "Bluff" Worked, and at a Cons quence the Laborers Went Hun gry Through the Afternoon. A 1 Bad-looking man entered the ehanty where the workmen were eat ing their lunches. He was holding a red can. . , "Hey, fellers," he saluted them, "look at this can o' powder I picked up outside. I've a mind to J)low me self up." "Aw, cut that stuff and beat It out of here," ordered the foreman. The man looked around, then walked deliberately over to the stove, opened the door and thrust the can Inside. There was a yell of dismay and In a moment the shanty was mpty, Ten minutes later the runaways re turned. The can was lying harmlessly on the fire and the sad-looking man was gone. - So were their lunch pails. HANDS ITCHED AND BURNED Warrenton, Va. "My little girl was troubled with eczema for three years. Her hands burned and Itched and look ed as if they were scalded. She could not sleep at night; I had to be up all night to keep her hands In warm wa ter. She rubbed her hands and large white blisters came full of yellow wa ter. Then sores came and yellow cor ruption formed. She could not take hold of anything with her hands. I used an ointment and tried a treat ment, but nothing did her any good, bo I got some Cuticura Soap and Oint ment. After bathing her hands with the Cuticura Soap and applying the Cuticura Ointment I was astonished to see the great relief, and Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment cured her hands in three weeks."

D Deaa of the Moody Bible Institute. . Chicago TEXT "There they made Him a sup per. ?-John XII, 2. It is the last week of Jesus' early life, and he Is spending the days in Jerusalem and the nights in Bethany- the home of Lazarus and his sisters, Martha and Mary. "There they made him a sup per." An exquisite touch of Christ's humanity! Is not this what we would have done to such a friend? But think of the human kindliness and simplicity of the Redeemer' here displayed! "It recalls the marriage in Cana at which he was a guest. That was at the beginning of his ministry and this at its close. How better could he have demonstrat ed that he came into the world not to disturb its social arrangements or mar its domestic joys, but to elevate them to a higher plane? Blessed be God, we may have Jesus at our feasts and festivals as well as at other times, and what heart, loving Jesus, would attend a feast or festival where he could not be a guest? But there Is . a practical question here of another kind. When we re remember that Jesus knew be was to die within a week, and endure before hand unprecedented contumely, and desertion by his dearest friends, and then look upon him at this friendly board, receiving happiness from oth ers, and dispensing happiness to them, must we not regard It, as a sublime example of that confidence In God which . knoweth that he doeth all things well? Death, sorrow, pain, de sertion are experiences - continually present. Some of us attempt to throw off the thought of them with the Bto Ic's plea, "What can't be cured must be endured." Others seek to drown it in 'the hilarity and dissipation of the world. But how different that which i. Jesus knew, and which they" know who have received him, and to whom he has given power to become the sons of God? Who would not be a Christian, a real Christian, if it were only for the sake of this legacy of peace? The Devoted Mary and the Avaricious Judas. The central feature of this Bupper Is the anointing of Jesus by the de voted Mary. The action was not un common in eastern lands, where the heat Is great and the feet exposed to it by sandals suffer from dryness and scorching. The motive of Mary was her love for Jesusu. Love, not only for what she. had learned from him, but for what ' he had done' for her brother Lazarus, whom he raised from the dead. All of which comes out the stronger in contrast with the fanati cism and avarice of Judas, "Why was ! not this ointment sold for three hun- dren pense. and given to the poor?" A specimen this of the way worldly people depreciate actions done for the love of God only, and especially giv ing money for Christ's cause. Judas said this, not because "he cared for the poor," John says, "but because he was a thief and had the bag .and bare what was put therein." He was think ing of himself and not the poor. . The truest friends of the poor, the people who do most for them, are those who do most for Christ. : "It is." says Bishop Ryle "the successors of Mary of Bethany, and not of Judas Iscariot, who really care for the poor." As another says, even if Judas had said this from the heart it would have been wrong. It does not follow that the poor will not be benefited, because the rich live according to their means. Social Distinctions to Remain. But how significant that remark of Jesus', "the poor always ye have with you." How clearly it ' teaches that distinctions of class and rank will never cease in the present age. It was never intended that society should become a macadamized road where all are on a level. The existence of pauperism alone does not prove that states are ill-governed, or churches are not doing their duty. This separa tion between rich and poor which Je sus made was opposed to the spirit of Christ, for in the true veneration of his name consists the most effectual caring for the poor. It is Important to keep this in mind in this humanita rian age when . the gospel of good works (so called) is so persistently thrust into the foreground in opposi tion to the gospel of faith. Poverty is forever at our heels, but Christ In the meanwhile may be vanishing away. How significant, "Me ye have not always." Oh. let us take it to heart! Him we have no longer when the wings of death suddenly over shadow us; or when our senses depart under the influence of disease, and the message of salvation no longer pene trates through the crowd of unbridled imaginations. We have him no longer when God gives us up to 6trong delu sions, and permits them to take their permanent abode in our minds, be cause we have hardened ourselves asainst his eaila to repentanea. iisoi Lesson (By E. O. SELLERS, Director of Eve ninir Department The Moody Bible In stitute of Chicago.) LESSON FOR MARCH 2 GOD'S COVENANT WITH ABRAM LESSON TEXT Gen. 15:5-18. GOLDEN TEXT "He Is faithful that promised J' Heb. 10:23. Until within recent years it was fre quently asserted that Abram's battle, as recorded in Gen. 14, "had not one whit of proof," yet the archaeologists have not only reconciled the apparent discrepancies but have proven beyond a question the accuracy of the rec ord. Abram's victory over the four confederate kings is a story rich with typical suggestions. I. "After These Things." w. 1-7. God's word (v. 1) came to Abram not only as a counsel but for assurance as well. So, too, our assurance is his word, I John 5:13. In the midst ol the uncertainty and the strife, for we must remember Abram never pos sessed the land, God appeared to him in ft vision and , said, "Fear not." See Isa. 41:10. There in the midst of foes (Jas. 2:23) God promised to be to Abram a shield and an exceeding great reward. A "shield" for there is to the Christian life a militant side, Eph. 6:13. 14, I Tim. 6:12. A "re ward" which was far more rich than any given by man. See 14:21, Pro v. 1.0:22. ' Abram Was Human. But Abram was, after all, human, and we read In verse 2 his question about descendants, he being as yet childless. Even so, however, Abram was willing to count the child of his Bteward as fulfilling the promise ot God. Not so with God for the' prom ise (12:3) was to include Sarah also. God very clearly makes this plain in verse 4, the heir was to be Abram's indeed and not the child-of another. But not only Is Abram to have an heir but the land In which he was. so journing as a pilgrim was to he his and his seed to be as the stars for multitude. "And he believed." The great test to this faith came later. Heb. 11:19, but here in this first distinct scrip tural history of faith we find set forth those principles that have governed through all time. (1) The acceptance of the word of God, e. g., to have our trust built upon or supported by the word of Jehovah, see Isa. 30:21; (2) to act upon that faith so that our course in life manifests the belief of the heart. God's covenant, 12:1-4, Is confirmed in seven ways, 1, Posterity, (a) nat ural, "earth," b) spiritual, "heaven," (c) also through Ishmael, Gen. 17:18 20: 2,. Blessing, both temporal and spiritual; 3, great name; 4, Be a bless ing. Gal. 3:13, 14; 5, "I will bless them that bless thee;" 6, "and curse them that curse thee; 7, the families of the earth blessed through Abram, e. g., through Christ, Gal. 3:16. "And he believed in the Lord" (v. 6). Abram built upon the naked word of God, he simply looked at that and that alone, Rom. 4:20, R. V. All God asks of us is for us to take him at his word. So it Is that as we take his word . about Jesus, he reckons that faith to us as righteousness; no mat ter how unrighteous we . may have been, see Rom. 4:3-6; Gal. 3:6-7, The one think that God demands Is that we believe him and his word. II. "Whereby Shall I Know." vv. 8-18. The weakness of human faith in dicated by Abram's question (v 8) is answered by God giving to him direc tions for the preparation of a sacri fice. Abram did not really doubt God's word (v. 6), but he did desire a confirming sign. Many today are looking for assuring signs from God , when his bare, word should be enough. Asking for signs is not always safe, Luke 1:18-20, but as in Abram's case God does give us a pledge a sign of our Inheritance. 2 Cor. 1:22, Eph. 1:14. God gave Abram, after he had explic itly followed his directions, a sym bolic vision of himself. Someone has suggested that the vile birds of pre? (v. 11)' are symbolic of Satan, and Abram, driving them away, a symbol of one victory over evil, Jas. 4:7. God is always nearer to man and best reveals himself when we are In the midst of sacrifice. God tells Abram of those days of servitude on the part of his descendants while they are to be In Egypt, of God's judgment to be brought upon that land and of theii 'iltimate deliverance. Symbols of God. Every detail of these predictions and promises was fulfilled. In verse 15 there is presented the great thought of the need of preparation In youth for the future days of "good old age" also In this verse a sugges tion of the life beyond the grave. The smoking furnace and the flam ing torch were symbols of God him self. Four centuries of opportunity were to be allowed the powerful Amo rites who now possessed the land be fore the land came into bona-flde pos session In accordance with the prom ise, for God's judgment was condition ed upon the "measure of their iniquity being full." In the midst of this hor ror of darkness came God's final as surance to Abram in the symbolic "flaming torch" which passed be tween the pieces of the slain animal typical of the two parties to the contract MRS. BENNETT SAYS "PUBLISH" Think Her Letter Made Public, Might Result in Some Good. All Ladies Should Read. Henderson, Tex. In a letter from this place, Mrs. T. V. Bennett says: "Last November I was taken very sick, and had two doctors. They doctored me for most everything that could be thought of, and at last they told me it would be necessary to have an opera tion. I couldn't give In to this, al though I was suffering great pain. Finally, I decided to try Cardui, the woman's tonic, and I hadn't used It but a short time before I was up, feel ing good, and able to do my work. , I am still getting - along fine, and can recommend Cardui, the woman's tonic, to all suffering women. I shall always praise this great medicine. If you think my experience would be of any benefit to any suffering wom an, you are at liberty to publish It." Cardui, the woman's tonic, 4s strictly a woman's medicine, made up of pure, harmless, vegetable ingredients which act directly on the womanly constitu tion. It stimulates the weakened organs, and helps build them up to health and strength. We receive numerous letters, every day, similar to the one above. If It has benefited so many thousands of other women, why shouldn't it do the same for you? Give Cardui a trial. N. B.
