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 besc remedy any sick
woman can take." Mrs. Margaret Quinn, Hear

She Tells Her Friends to Take Lydia E. Pinjiham's Remedies.
North Haven, Conn. w 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
coming 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. Florence Iseixa,

You Take No Chances
in Buying a Saxon
You may buy a Saxon believing it to be the
best car in its class and you will get what
you pay for.
You may look for longer service, better per
formance and lower up-keep bills from your
Saxon than from any other car of like price.
And you will not be disappointed.
If there was any doubt that Saxon cars are the
best in their respective divisions it has long
since disappeared.
And the proof of this you will find, a thousand
fold over, in the records of Saxon owners
and in the opinion of motor-car buyers in
general. Saxon cars have definitely estab
lished their superiority in every phase of
motor car performance.
And just as surely and decisively as they have
proved themselves abler acting cars, have they
proved themselves cheaper cars to keep up.
To build cars of such quality and such value
clearly reflects the strength and soundness
and ability of the Saxon organization.

THE HOLY SPIRIT AND HIS WORK
(PENTECOSTAL LESSON).
.
LESSON TEXT John 15:26-27; 16:7-14.
GOLDEN TEXT He shall teach you all
things.-John 14:26.
This lesson follows chapter 15:1-4.
The emphasis Jesus placed upon the
new and deeper intimacy into which
the disciples were about to enter, and
which involved a participation In per
secutions (v. 20). However, as a gar
rison and helper when this persecution
should come, the believers are to have
In their lives the Holy Spirit.
I. The Believer and the Spirit (vv.
26-27). The "paraclete" (helper) was
to proceed from the Father, but Jesus
was to send him. He Is called the
"Spirit of Truth" because It is his
work to reveal the truth, and It is
through his teachings only that any
one may know the truth. Jesus is the
truth (ch. 14:6), and the Spirit of
Truth is to enable believers to testify
concerning Jesus. It qualifies them for
such testimony. The disciples also
had the added qualification of expe
rience for "ye have been with me
from the beginning." The disciples
were eye witnesses of what he did
and what he was, and heard and knew
all that he claimed for himself and
what his life proved itself to be.
II. The Believer and Persecution
(16:1-6). This section has not been se
lected by the committee, but as a part
of the lesson we cannot overlook it.
In it the Master enumerates specifi
cally things that were to come to the
disciples and that they might "remem
ber." lie also mentions the fact that
these things are to come after he has
gone away. As a relief from sorrow
(v. 6), the Master goes on to show the
relation of the Spirit to the world.
III. The Holy Spirit In the World
(vv. 7-11). It was profitable for the
disciples that Jesus should go, that an
other Divine friend was to take his
place. This is the best section in all
the Bible to teach the personality of
the Holy Spirit. The personal pro
nouns in this section are very signifi
cant, there being seven in the thir
teenth verse alone. The word "Com
forter" here used means that and much
more. It is the same word translated
i "advocate." In I John 2:1, it means
' one who Is called upon to stand be
side another as a helper, counselor,
guide and friend. Jesus had been this
to his disciples thus far, but he was
going away, and another Friend was
coming, who should not only be with
them, but should dwell in them (Ch.
14 :16, 17) . The Comforter has come,
and without him we can do nothing. He
is the one who convicts the world
"of sin, of righteousness and of judg
ment." Of sin, not because they have
broken the moral code, but because
they do not accept Jesus Christ as the
Messiah (Hebrews 10:28. See ch.
3:18-20). In the second place, he is
to convict the world of righteousness.
The Holy Spirit has no other channel
through which he can get at the world
except through those who are already
saved. He shows the world its error
about righteousness ; also that Jesus is
the only righteous one, and righteous
ness is only possible to us in him
(Phil. 3:9 R. V.). Because he has
lived the right life, having fulfilled all
righteousness, and gone on high, he
therefore convicts men, but the Spirit
does his work through the agency of
the word. Man needs to know first
of all that he is a sinner ; second, that
Jesus "the righteousness of God," has
provided for us, and it is the Holy
Spirit who alone can show these two
things to men. In the third place, he
convicts the world of judgment be
cause "the prince of this world is
judged." This judgment Is past (see
John 12:31), for Jesus has conquered
Satan. Certainly this is a truth that
needs to be emphasized in this day.
The judgment of sin and punishment
for sin, due to unbelief or rejection of
Jesus Christ, is seldom preached In
our day.
IV. The Spirit and Truth (vv.
12-15). .There was much more that
the Master might say to the disci
ples, but they were not ready to bear
It (v. 12). ne, however, looks for
ward to the day when the Spirit shall
come, and they will be ready to re
ceive these things. The Spirit will
guide them Into truth, all truth, for he
shall not speak of himself (he will not
bear witness unto or speak "from"
himself) but the things that he will
speak of will be concerning Jesus. The
real evidence of the presence of the
noly Spirit in a believer or in a con
gregation is the degree of exaltation
given to Jesus Christ.
There is a progressive intimacy in
John. Jesus first calls those who are
at his side, servants (Ch. 13:13). He
next calls thern friends (Ch. 15:15),
and lastly he calls them brethren
(Ch. 20:17). This is the law of
Christian experience.
Sunday school teachers should cer
tainly take advantage of this lesson
to bring out the work of the Spirit
(vv. 8, 9, 10) ; the gifts of the Spirit
(I Cor. 12) ; and the fruits of the
Spirit (Gal. 5:22, 23). Let us be sure
that our scholars know what It means
to have a definite. Intimate, personal
relation with the all powerful one.
Be Adaptable.
"Don't be obstinate."
"Huh?"
"Some men spend their lives trying
to make silk purses from sows' ears."
"Well?"
"They might take the same material
and get rich manufacturing leather
specialties."

YES! LIFT A CORN
OFF WITHOUT PAIN!
Cincinnati man tella how to dry
Lup a corn or callus so it lifts
off with fingers.
hii'I"I"I"I" III W I iiiiiS)iiS)iii
You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says this
Cincinnati authority, because a few
drops of freezone applied directly on a
tender, aching corn or callus, stops
soreness at once and soon the corn or
hardened callus loosens so It can be
lifted off, root and all, without pain.
A small bottle of freezone costs very
little at any drug store, but will posi
tively take off every hard or soft corn
or callus. This should be tried, as It
Is inexpensive and is said not to Irri
tate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to get a small bottle for you
from his wholesale drug house. adv.
No Chance.
"So the judge sent your husband to
prison for ten years, Mandy?"
"Yes, he did. Dat's a powerful long
time to have to get along without a
husband, missus."
"It does seem like a long time, but,
maybe, he can shorten it by good be
havior." "Good -behavior, missus ! If my hus
band's gittin' out o' prison depends on
good behavior he'll be dere ten years
t' de minit."
I Girls! Use Lemons!
Make a Bleaching, f
Beautifying Cream 1
The juice of two fresh lemons strain
ed into a bottle containing three ounces
of orchard white makes a whole quar
ter pint of the most remarkable lemon
skin beautifier at about the cost one
must pay for a small jar cf the ordi
nary cold creams. Caie should be tax
en to strain the lemon juice through u
fine cloth so no lemon pulp gets in,
then this lotion will keep fresh for
months. Every woman knows that lem
on juice is used to bleach and remove
such blemishes as freckles, sallowness
and tan and is the ideal skin softener,
smoothener and beautifier.
Just try It! Get three ounces of
orchard white at any pharmacy and
two lemons from the grocer and make
up a quarter pint of this sweetly fra
grant lemon lotion and massage it daily
into the face, neck, arms and hands. It
naturally should help to soften, fresh
en, bleach and bring out the roses and
beauty of any skin. It is simply mar
velous to smoothen rough, red hands.
