Senator Borah of Idaho tells this story of how a psychologist and me diumistic professor was received in a small town in his state: The professor was talking to a young society bud about the possibili ties of the journeyings of one's soul. "Why, my dear young lady," he de clared, "it is possible for you in your sleep to travel to other planets in the middle of 'the night." "Oh, professor!" she cried In evi-. dent alarm. "Not in my nightgown!" The Sunday Magazine. Boy's View of Policemen. A boy's view of policemen is thus quaintly expressed in the examination papers of the Albert Street school, Bui well, Nottingham, England: "One of our well-known men in the large towns is the policeman; he is a very large man, and looks very smart in his suit of blue. "If he sees a boy who ought to be at school, he tries to catch him and take him to school, where he is pun ished. "His duties are many. At night lie walks quietly down the streets in case there are any robbers. ... He carries a lamp about with him to see where the robber escapes. If the rob ber hides, he will be traced. The po liceman carries a staff, a whistle, and some handcuffs In case he needs them." FOUND A WAY To Be Clear of Coffee Troubles. "Husband and myself both had the coffee habit, and finally his stomach and kidneys got in such a bad condi tion that he was compelled to give up a good position that he had held for years. He was too sick to work. His skin was yellow, and there didn't seem to be an organ in his body that was not affected. "I told him I felt sure his sickness was due to coffee and after some dis cussion he decided to give it up. "It was a struggle, because of the powerful , habit. One day we heard about Postum and concluded to try it and then it was easy to leave off coffee. "His fearful headaches grew less frequent, his complexion began to clear, kidneysgrew better until at last he was a new man altogether, as a re sult of leaving off coffee and taking up Postum. Then I began to drink it too. "Although I was never as bad off as my husband, I was always very ner vous and never at any time very strong, only weighing 95 lbs. before 1 began to use Postum. Now I weigu 115 lbs. and can do as much work as anyone my size, I think." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Write for booklet, "The Road to Wellville." Postum comes In two forms. Regular Postum (must be boiled.) Instant Postum doesn't require boil ing, but is prepared Instantly by stir ring a level teaspoonful in an ordinary cup of hot water, which makes It right for most persons. A big cup requires more and some people who like strong things put In a heaping spoonful and temper it with a large supply of cream. Experiment until you know the amount that pleases your palate and have It served that way in the future. "There's a Reason" for Postum. XX : The Christian Church and Social Government By REV. JAMES M. CRAY. D. D. Dean of Moody Bible Institute of Chicago I TEXT "Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's;" "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." Matthew 22:21 and 39. These words of our Lord Jesus Christ suggest a sermon on the relation . of the Christian church to civil govern ment. But first, what Is the Chris tian church? It Is an elect body gathered out of all nations, In whom a super natural work has been redeemed and sanctified through faith in the atonement of Christ, and as members of his spirit ual body, are separated in an essen tial sense from the world. They are waiting for his re-appearing, and ex pect to be glorified and reign with him over the millennial earth.' There Is a point of view therefore, In which such a people have nothing to do with civil government because such government is a part of the sys tem of ungodliness represented by Satan whom the Scriptures call the god of this world. His dominion is to be destroyed when Christ comes to set up his kingdom In its place. True Christians, therefore, are not expect ing the millennium to be brought about by moral or political reforms, but are waiting for his coming to in troduce and make it a possibility. What Caesar Represents. But while this Is true, such Chris tians believe that they have obliga tions to the government under which they live, prlvilegja to be enjoyed and a stewardship for which they must give account of God. Paul1 claimed protection because of his Roman citi zenship, but no man has a moral right to ask protection from a govern ment to which he is indifferent, and for which he will not use his- Influ ence to make it the best possible. "Caesar" represented the civil gov ernment of Christ's day, and the things to be rendered untb him were the taxes imposed by the Roman em pire. But the "Caesar" of the United States to whom we are to pay tribute is not an individual or an empire, but in an important sense It is ourselves. If this is a "government of the peo ple, for the people and by the peo ple," we are our own Caesar, and to ourselves we render tribute. Accord ing to Christ's command therefore, we are to support this government in accordance with the laws it has made. And yet more is implied, for we are not only "Caesar" to whom tribute must be paid, but "Caesar" who pays the tribute. For what do we demand this tribute therefore? How much of the taxes levied by us on our fellow men goes Into the pockets of those to whom It does not belong, because we are indulging our own con venience and letting things alone? How much of it supports our con stabulary and law courts, our alms houses and jails whose existence is because of iniquitous legislation af fording license to sin? Are we satis fled that in these things we can give account of our stewardship, with joy? How much attention, as Christians, have we given to thes things? How much do we know, and how much have we' prayed about them? Party or Purity, Which? . This brings us to our second obli gation in relation to civil government, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thy self." Of course, this means that we shall try to save our neighbor and bring him with us on the way to heaven. But It mean? also that we can not be indifferent to the earthly difficulties of the way. In other words, we must not permit Satan to flaunt his temptations in the way without an effort to destroy them. There are dram shopn, brothels and gambling dens open for the allure ment of our young. mua and women. If our newspapers are to be believed, law is defied by municipal and state officers to the demoralization of both public and private standards of right and wrong. WTho are responsible for these things? Will not God hold those professing Christians to ac count who, for the sake ' of party fealty on the one hand, or lack of public duty on the othi?r, to have fail- The New Testament says scarcely anything about the relation of the Christian church to civil government because in the time of Christ and his apostles there was no civil govern ment In the sense In which we con ceive of it. But the duty of the In dividual Christian is included never theless In the second commandment of the law, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself," for "love work eth no evil to his neighbor," either by omission or commissioa. It Is a common plea of the faint heartened that success depends main ly on luck. I am no believer ia luck, and the man who is content to wait for a stroke of good fortune, will probably wait till he has a stroke of paralysis. Sir P. Treres. 1 J 1 Mmmom: MSfflOOL Lesson (By E. O. SELLERS, Director of Evening Department, The Moody Bible Institute, Chicago.) ' LESSON FOR JULY 20 MOSES CALLED TO DELIVER ISRAEL. LESSON TEXT Ex. 3:1-14. Read the entire chapter. GOLDEN TEXT "Blessed are the pure In heart for they shall see God." Matt. 5:8. Last week we learned that Moses had a vision of a great need; in to day's lesson there is revealed to Moses the other half of the lesson, viz., One who could meet that need; One who could supply all that was lacking when Moses made his first ill-advised attempt to free his kins men. Bush and Voice. I. The Manner of Moses' Call. His call came in the midst of hi3 labor as a shepherd. God does not set a premium upon idleness and his greatest revelation came through two very common agencies, a bush and a voice. There were probably many other such bushes on the back side of the desert, but this one is distin guished by the presence of Jehovah. Moses turned aside to see this "great Eight." Why was It not consumed? Because It was divinely lighted.' Hav ing secured his attention Jehovah spoke to Moses, called to him out of the midst of the bush. When men pause in the faithful discharge of the common tasks of life and consid er God it will not be long before they will hear his still, small voice. God's call is never to the idler and is gen erally through the common agencies and experiences of life. The time is ripe for deliverance. God had tested Moses for forty years. Now God ia ready to reveal himself here upon Horeb, the mountain of God. Je hovah's presence is symbolized by the fire (see chapter 13:21, 22 and 19:18). The lowly bush suggests the incarna tion. In Jesup humanity was on fire with the presence of- God, yet was not consumed. II. . The Purpose of Moses Call. This was two-fold: (a) Deliverance from sorrow, oppression and the task masters of Egypt (type of sin) vv. 9, 10, 17. (b) Deliverance to freedom, a better land, to service, worship and riches, w. 8, 12, 21, 22. Moses made ready response to the voice of God, saying, "Here am I" (v. 4). He had not grown cold and cynical during his shepherd days, but rather was mors keen and teachable. He had, how ever, another lesson to learn, viz., the majesty and holiness of God. So it was he is halted and commanded to remove his . shoes, (v. 5). The Christian can draw nigh with bold ness (Heb. 10:19) but he must re member to do so with "reverence and awe" (Heb. 12:28, 29). God's Answer. III. The Credentials That Accom. panled Moses' Call. As has been suggested, this call came by means of two very common agencies, viz., a bush and a voice. While Moses no longer depends upon his own strength yet he lacks that assurance and those credentials that will justify, in his own sight, a return to the court of Pharaoh. "Who am I that I shouh go?" God's answer is, "Certainly 1 will be with thee." Moses need have no fear, nor need the Christian (Matt. 28:30). "If God be for us who can be against us?" .Our commission which is from God is certain of ulti mate success. There could be no pos sibility of failure for Moses is told that when deliverance is accomplish ed "ye shall serve God upon this mountain." Yet Moses is not satis fied for he remembers his previous experience with his kinsman (2:13, 14), what shall he say to them? In answer God gives Moses a name by which he shall be known "I am that I am," and further he is to tell them that he is the "Jehovah, the God oi their fathers;" God does not set be fore Moses a primrose path to fol low. He plainly states that Pharaoh will object and that their deliverance will be wrought by a mighty hand. IV. Moses' Response to the Call. We have seen that this call came "in" the midst of the common duties of daily toil; that it was "for" a defi nite, a specific purpose, deliverance from and deliverance to; this call came "by" God. A God, past, present, future. God a person, "I am," God, a power, "I will," but the call was "to" an agent. God works his pur poses through man, "I will send thee." This agent had assurance, proper credentials, and was promised power,' sufficient aid. Moses as this agent was a man of (1) humility (v. 11); (2) lacking in knowledge (v. 13): (3) lacking In confidence (Ch. 4:1); (4) lacking eloquence (4:10). V. The Teaching. We thus have presented a wonderful revelation of God. The unconsumed bush appealed to Moses. Filled to fullness with the flaming fire of God's glory it was still unconsumed, a suggestion of what the presence of God means either in a man or 'among a people. The visible is followed by the audi ble and there is brought to our atten tion the absolute purity of God. the infinite power of God, the marvelous patience of God, the overwhelming oity of God and the irresistible pa tience of God. Such infinite resources are at our disposal.

After North Carolina voted to be a dry state its citizens became very sus picious of strangers. One day a commercial traveler went up to an old negro in a little town in the eastern part of the state and said to him: "Say, uncle, if you will lead me to some place where I can get a drink I'll give you $2." The old darky looked him carefully over, accepted the two plunks, and said: "All right, boss, just foller me." He led the thirsty one through the town, on through the suburbs, into the country, and then started due west. After they had traversed about five miles In silence and still nothing in sight, the man asked: "Look here, Mose! Where are we going after this drink?" "We's gwine over into Kentucky, boss; we can't git nuthin'indls state." Judge. FACE FULL Of PIMPLES Ruffin, N. C. "My face became full of pimples and blackheads, and would itch, burn and smart. The skin was rough and red. I was really ashamed of my face. My arms and back were affected almost as badly. The pimples would fester and there would come a dry scab on top. The trouble caused my face to be disfig ured badly and the itching would both er me so I could not sleep well nights, especially during warm weather. "The trouble lasted me three long years without anything doing me any good until a friend told me about Cuti cura Soap and Ointment and then I decided to try them. After the first application I could see some improve ment. After using Cuticura Soap and Ointment two weeks I did not look like the same person; most of the pimples had disappeared. At the end of four weeks I was completely cured." (Signed) Miss Mamie Mitch ell, Jan. 9, 1913. Cuticura Soap and Ointment sold throughout the world. Sample of each free, with 32-pSkin Book.

Many of the handsomest summer hats worn by women all over the country are made of shavings. It seems that Japan is a thriving center for this shaving industry and wooden ribbon of this sort appears in various forms, some presenting a sat iny finish and others resembling silks and crepes. About twenty per cent, is sent here in the shape of wooden ribbons, while the rest is worked up into the familiar "chip braid." Some years Japan sends $1,000,000 of this material into this country. It appears that the American women like the product better than Euro pean, for the United States is her largest customer. The material is easily dyed and is so thin and flexible that exquisite effects can be-- pro duced. Tired of Bossing. When Mary went home to Ireland for a visit to the old farm, after a four years' course in general house work In America, she found a new baby brother. "And he was thot spoiled you couldn't live in the same house with him," recounted Mary to her old mistress. "Such a raisin' as he had had! I towld me mother 'twas different altogether from the bringin' up of us older children. 'Twas do this, an' we done it or got a whippin'. But with the little wan now if she says to him 'do this,' he says, 'No, I don't want to,' an' never a budge does he make. But my mother was not set back by my scoldin'. She just sayed, 'Oh, well, wait until you've lived as long and as much as I have, and you will get tired of bossin', too."
