Many distressing Ailments experienced
by them are Alleviated by Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Here is Proof by Women who Know.
Lowell, Mass. "For the last three years I have
been troubled with the Change of Life and the bad
feelings common at that time. I was in a very ner
vous condition, with headaches and pain a good
deal of the time so I was unfit to do my work. A
friend asked me to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta
ble Compound, which I did, and it has helped me in
every way. I am not nearly so nervous, no head
ache or pain. I must say that Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound is the best remedy any sick
woman can take." Mrs. Makgaret Qtjinn, Ilear

North Haven, Conn. "When I was 45 I had the Change. of Life
which is a trouble all women have. At first it didn't bother me
but after a "while I got bearing down pains. I called in doctors who
told me to try different things but they did not cure my pains. One
day my husband came home and said, Why don't you try Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and Sanative Wash?' Well, I got
them and took about 10 bottles of Vegetable Compound and could
feel myself regaining my health. I also used Lydia E. Pinkham's
Sanative Wash and it has done me a great deal of good. Any one
corning to my house who suffers, from female troubles or Change of
Life, I tell them to take the Pinkham remedies. There are about 20
of us here -who think the world of them,' Mrs. Florenck Isella,
Uox 197, North Haven, Conn.

Legacy of
Peace
By REV. W. W. KETCHUM
Director of the Practical Work Courts,
Moody Bible Institute, Chicago
TKXT Peace 1 pave with you. my
peace 1 give unto you. John 14:2".
To know that Jesus left a legacy of
peuce for us is the first step In its posses
sion. Some years ago in Chicngo a brick
layer, earning five dollars a day at his
t r a d e , received
w.u-d that he was
heir to a vast es
tate left by his
two granduncies
in Australia. The
knowledge of this
fact was the lirst
thing necessary in
.securing posses
sion of the for
tune. In i g -norance
of it, he
niig. t have la
bored on for t h o
rest of his life
with his trowel.
So it is with the
legsi.'.V of pet ice
Christ has left; the first thing we need
to know, if we would possess it, is
that he has left it for us. Ignorant of
this fact, wc would fail to take posses
sion of our inheritance. How true it
is, that it is not what one has, but
what one knows he has that makes
him rich. And, we can well add, and
what he takes possession of.
It is evident from Christ's words an
nouncing this legacy that it is a two
fold peace. He speaks of. leaving peace
and giving his peace. These cannot
be one and the same thing, for Christ
is never guilty of redundancy.
The peace Christ left us must be the
peace which he made for us by the
blood of his cross; that which Paul
calls, "Peace with God." This we know
was effected for us by Christ upon the
cross, and became ours when we ac
cepted him as our Savior. It is an In
alienable possession, a blessed, unal
terable fact, that we have peace with
God. if Christ is ours.
But what now of this other peace
which Christ gives? lie expressly
calls it "my peace." By this, he must
mean the peace which he possessed
and which filled his own life; not an
outward calm, but an inward quiet
ness. Away down in the sea. those
who dredge its depths tell us there Is
what is called the cushion. No mat
ter how wildly the wind blows on the
surface, nor how tempestuous the
waves, down there at the cushion of
the sea is an absolute calm. This, it
seems to me, represents the peace of
Christ. It was the inner quietude of
his heart, though his life was swept
by storm. This peace, which was
Christ's, he bequeathes Jo us. What
else can It bo, but the peace spoken of
by the Apostle as "the pence of God
which passoth all understanding."
(Phil. 4:7.) It must be that, for who
can understand the quiet 'poise of a
suffering child of God? It Is beyond
understanding, yet many a child of
God with yielded life has said with one
of old. "though he slay me, yet will I
trust him."
But how can this peace be posses
sed? First, by possessing peace with
God. There is no use trying to have
the second peace, if one does not have
the first. Peace with God makes pos
sible the peace of God. The first peace
Is the portion of every one who truly
has made Christ his Savior. It Is his
whether he feels it or not : and to
know if he possesses it, he should look
not to his feelings, but to the fact
that Christ has made peace by the
blood of ins cross and that he by faith
has accepted Christ and the pence
which he made.
The second pence, namely, ;lie
peace of God may be ihe portion of
every believer. It is possessed not
by trying, but by trusting. It comes
when one yields fully his life to Christ
and relies upon him. Io that and
though the storms beat about the head,
and the heavens seem ready to fall,
the mind will be kept by the peace of

LESSON
(By E. O. SELLERS, Acting Director oi
the Sunday School Course in the Moody
Bible Institute of Chicago.)
(Copyright, 1917. Western Newspaper Union.)
Lesson for January 21
FIRST DISCIPLE OF THE LORD
JESUS.
LESSON TEXT John 1:33-49. i
GOLDEN TEXT Jesus salth unto him,
follow me. John 1:43.
The words "I see" or "behold" occur
fifteen times In this lirst chapter. John
was a witness to the Sou of Man. This
term, "Son of Man," occurs eighty
times in the gospel. The words "Come
and see," or their equivalents, occur
nine times in this lesson. This is a
great invitation lesson. It would be
interesting if the scholars would tell
what the voices are which say,
"Come," and those which are urging
them to "stay" away from God. Beth
nbara was probably two miles from
the fords of the Jordan, where John
baptized. Jesus was thirty years old,
just entering upon his ministry. Ti
berius Caesar was the emperor and
Pontius Pilate the governor of Judea.
I. The Son of Man Attracts Men.
(vv. 35-30) not by his ethical teachings
nor alone by his works and his charac
ter, but what he was and inspired in
others attracted men to Jesus (John 10 :
41). Crowds still gathered around the
baptizer who "changed the hearts of
men as by a spell." John, the Bap
tizer, brought terror to men. lie broke
through the crust of self-righteousness
and indifference, and compelled men
to see their need of forgiveness and
of a new life, but the time had come
when John must step aside, and Jesus
"to increase," to begin his ministry.
Four successive days are noticed in
tills chapter. Andrew (v. 40), and
doubtless the apostle John, who wrote
this account, were the two disciples
(v. 35) to whom John, the Baptizer,
speaks. It is interesting to note the
different kinds of men Mho were at
tracted to Jesus ; the aggressive Peter,
the reflective Thomas, the practical
Judas. He had what the souls of
men needed, and they followed, him.
Aware of their questioning, Jesus
turns to them with the question:
"What think ye?" the first recorded
words of his public ministry. This is
a great testing question of every man's
life. What is the aim and purpose of
your life? Jesus, the kingdom of God,
goodness, righteousness, usefulness or
on the other hand selfishness, worldll
ness, success, ambition, money, pleas
ure? These disciples who had listened
to this testimony of the baptizer, re
plied that they wanted to know where
he dwelt, implying that they would
like to talk with him and discuss the
problems which were arising In their
minds. Three steps of Christian expe
rience are here suggested. These two
disciples heard, they looked and they
followed. Other steps must come
shortly, but we must first look at Jesiis
as the Lamb, if we are to follow him
as our example. We must believe
what he has done (Rom. 3:25) before
we can ask what would Jesus do or
try to imitate him. It is by following
that we demonstrate that we have real
ly looked unto him and been saved.
II. The Son of Man Cares for His
Own. (vv. 39-42). The instruction
which they received from abiding with
him impelled them, as we have already
Indicated, to go out and spread the
good news. The greatest act in the
life of Andrew was the bringing of his
brother Peter to Jesus. Jesus changed
Peter's name, and gave him a proph
ecy of his future life and career. He
saw the possibilities within him,
though it took much instruction, bitter
experiences, prayer and long abiding
with Jesus before he attained to those
possibilities. It is this passage which
gave rise to' the organization of the
Brotherhood of SK Andrew, which has
adopted, first, the "Rule of Prayer,"
that of daily prayer for the spread of
Christ's kingdom among young men;
second, "The Rule of Service," to
make an earnest effort each week to
bring at least one young man within
the hearing of the gospel of Jesus
Christ. On the morrow Jesus would
go forth to Galilee, that Is to the East
side, across the Jordan river, and on
the way he found Philip. It was Philip
who asked the question, "Show us the
Father," and of whom the question
was asked as to the resources suffi
cient to feed the hungering multitude
(John 0:5). John, the Evangelist,
alone tells us about Philip. Philip saw
not only the resources of Jesus, but he
saw a union of the law of the prophets
(v. 45) in this Jesus, and therefore
could and did invite his brother to
Jesus.
Christianity would soon fill the earth
if Christians would put forth the per
sonal effort here suggested.
Nathaniel (v. 40) repeated a proverb
of the country, "Can any good thing
come out of Nazareth?" Philip's reply
was: "Come and see," and to his
amazement Jesus reveals not only his
character but his supernatural power;
whereupon Nathaniel's reply was:
"Thou art the Son of God, the King
of Israel" (v. 49). Jesus, seeing his
faith, promised that he should see still
greater things (vv. 50, 51).
Everybody in this lesson who found
Jesus seemed to go at once for some
one else, and though some were scep
tical, yet their scepticism ended, even
as Nathaniel'?, in following him.
