Convincing Proof of Th.3 Fact
Ridgway, Penn. "I suffered from female
trouble with backache and pain in my side for over
seven months so I could not do any of my work. I
was treated by three different doctors and was
getting discouraged when my sister-in-law told me
how Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound had
helped her. I decided to try it, and it restored my
health, so I now do all of my housework which is
not light as I have a little boy three years old."

Tennille,Ga. "I want to tell you how much I have been benefited
by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. About eight years ago I
got in such a low state of health I was unable to keep house for three in
the family. I had dull, tired, dizzy feelings, cold feet and hands nearly
all the time and could scarcely sleep at alL The doctor said I had a
severe case of ulceration and without an operation I would always
be an invalid, but I told him I wanted to wait awhile. Our druggist
advised my husband to get Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
and it has entirely cured me. Now I keep house for seven and work
in the garden some, too. I am so thankful I got this medicine. I feel '
as though it saved my life and have recommended it to others and
they have been benefited". Mrs. "W. E. Ltndsey, R. R. 3, Tennille, Ga.

Swedish Drill.
They were in the squad under train
ing at a certain military center who
furnished a contrast not uncommon
these days. One was tall and wiry,
the other short and puffy, and an hour
of Swedish drill had set the lesser of
the two to blowing hard.
"I can't stand much of this," he
whispered. "I'm simply all out," and
at that moment the drill sergeant in
timated that he would give them an
other spell before they dismissed.
This was too much. The podgy pa
triot felt it was time to protest.
"I'm really awfully sorry to seem un
mllitary in addressing you, sir," he
said, "but this Swedish drill is more

never knew we were at war with Sweden."

LESSON FOR JULY 1
ISAIAH'S
CALL TO
SERVICE.
HEROIC
LESSON TEXT-Inaiah 6
GOLDEN TEXT-Also I heard the voice
of the Lord saying, Whom ehall I Bend,
and who will go for us? Then said I,
Here am I; send me. Isa. 6:8.
The lesson committee now turn for
a third quarter's lesson to a series of
studies in the Old Testament as found
in II Kings, Ezra and Nehemiah. As
an introduction, they have chosen this
chapter in the book of Isaiah.
Isaiah prophesied in the latter half
of Uzziah's reign, B. C. 760 and down
to the early years of the reign of
Manasseh about B. C. 694 (ch. 1:1).
This event took place probably B. C.
755. The place was Jerusalem; the
kingdom of Israel was still in exist
ence (for 33 years longer) being ut
terly destroyed in B. C. 721. The
name Isaiah means "the salvation of
Jehovah:" his wife is called "the
prophetess ;" two of his sons are
named and his social position was high,
as shown by his intimacy with kings.
Isaiah lived in troublous times. He
was a reformer seeking to rescue his
nation from the sins growing out of
their disobedience to Gcd. He was
the leading statesman of his time, the
greatest , of the prophets, an author,
a heroic, single-minded, patriotic, fear
less, undaunted man of great personal
power and influence. He was a proph
et of hope; he wrote out of his long
life of faithfulness and fellowship with
God. The book of Isaiah falls into
two great divisions; chapters 1-39 be
ing chiefly historical, Interspersed with
songs and poems; chapters 40-66 are
a collection of prophecies that have
to do chiefly with the return from
the Babylonian exile and the days of
future glory for the kingdom of God.
I. Visions (vv. 1-4). As we have
said, Isaiah prophesied in a time of
great need. The prophet was very
much discouraged. In this passage he
locates his vision at a special time
and place (ch. 1:1). Every man's
great need today is a real vision of
God. We are not so much in need of
theories about God, as a vision of
God himself. Uzziah's long reign of
52 years, in which the kingdom pros
pered and the king's name was spread
abroad, stopped as suddenly as an
earthquake, and his giory was eclipsed
(see II Chron. 26:16-19). The place in
which Isaiah saw his vision was the
house of God. Perhaps not in the tem
ple, but seeing the vision from the
temple the prophet looks to a house
not built with hands, Jehovah's own
heavenly palace. Therein he saw "the
Lord sitting on a throne . . . and
his train filled the temple." Above it,
or around it, were arranged hovering
couriers and the seraphic choir. The
majesty of this vision is indicated in
verse two, its glory in Terse three,
and its power is indicated in verse
four. The whole earth was filled with
God's wondrous wisdom, love and pow
er. Literally "the whole earth Is full
of his glory." The Hebrew word for
holiness comes from a word meaning
"to set apart set a distance from."
The holy Lord is not only sinless but
he is sublime and absolute also. It
may seem difficult to harmonize
Isaiah's vision with John 1:18, yet
these manifestations were one and the
same, for all that saw Jesus saw God
(John 14:9). King Uzziah was dead
but the real king was living still, high
and lifted up. The attempt to reason
about him, what he must be and what
he must not be, as if he were one
of ourselves (Eph. 1 :20, 21) is absurd.
II. Divisions (w. 5-13). (I) The
vision of the prophet (vv. 5-7). This
vision brought conviction because it
showed how far separated from God
the prophet was. It also brought
conversion in that h acknowledged
himself to be unclean, himself and his
surroundings to be vile. It also led to
cleansing, for the king heard the voice
of the prophet, removed his guilt and
purged his sin. (2) The voice and
proclamation from the king (w. 8-13).
The king called for a messenger (v. 8)
and at once the prophet is found.
Someone has said that "a task without
a vision is drudgery; a vision with
out a task is a dream; while a task
linked to a vision will move the
world." Not only did the king ask for
a messenger, but he gave the message
which the messenger was to utter
(w. 9-12). The message was to be
to his own people; it was not to be
a pleasant one. Verse 13 shows us
this message in prophecy. Isaiah ought
to fully proclaim the truth, but the
people would not understand it, and
the whole effect of his proclamation
would be to harden them.
The Application.
What Is your application of this
vision for Isaiah? We' are a Chris
tian nation, but there are many de
grees and kinds of Christians; those
who sincerely try to follow Jesus;
those who live under a Christian gov
ernment, and are unaffected by Chris
tian Influences. There is only one
way to save this nation from going the
way of Nineveh and Tyre; that Is, that
justice and righteousness shall govern,
and that justice and righteousness shall
be the fruit of regenerated lives. The
cry is for a better social environment
and a more just social position.

GRIM GAS BATTLES FOUGHT
Asphyxiating Shells Fired in Great
Quantities by Both Sides In Strug
gles on British Front.
Andre Tudesq, writing of the battles
on the British front, says there was
such an expenditure of asphyxiating
shells one day that six hours after the
last deluge of them suffocating smells
were still passed through.
Lavish expenditure of gas on both
sides form a characteristic of the fu
rious attack and counter-attacks
which have been delivered day and
night round these two villages. The
mask is here as preccious as the
grenade or the rifle.
As in a frightful carnival, In the
manner of Edgar Allan Poe, one could
see In the night on the slopes west of
Fresnoy entire regiments In masks,
fighting and killing each other in the
midst of ' black vapors, which were
rendered more fantastic by the light of
the moon.
The hand-to-hand struggle thus took
on most singular forms. Throwing
away their arms the combatants would
fly at each other's throats and try to
tear away each other's masks.. Few
prisoners were taken in these encoun

Brazil Losing Rubber Trade.
One of the most striking economic
changes in recent years has been the
loss by Brazil of its dominant posi
tion in the rubber trade. Whereas, a
few years back, the world looked to
South America for most of its crude
rubber, It is now getting the larger
share from the far East. The Bra
zilian product Is obtained from trees
that grow wild, and little has been
done toward cultivation of the trees.
In Sumatra, Ceylon, Bunnah and other
countries millions of trees have been
set out and are now coming into bear
ing. This domestic product Is said to
be slightly superior to that obtained
from Brazil, and the trees improve
with age. The financial loss to Brazil
through its decreasing exports has be
come a serious matter. New York

Real Tact.

were sitting in a park dance pavilion
in Kansas City last week when the
floor manager approached their table
and said: "Would you care to dance
with the senor?"
The senor is the dancing master.
One of the women, speaking for all
three declined.
"Oh, it's all right," said the manager.
"He'll be glad to dance. He will dance
with anybody."
Such tact should not go unrewarded
We hope the manager gets a raise.

where there was a notoriously bad
orchestra, the manager suddenly ap
peared on the stage and apologized
for the absence of a favorite comle
singer whose name was a great fea
ture. "The manager explained that he had
every reason to believe that the artist
in question would positively appear
later on ; and then, by way of throw
ing oil on troubled waters, suggested
in order to avoid a wait, that the audi
ence should be favored with a little
music. "As he announced this, a pathetic
voice in the gallery was heard:
"Oh, I soy, Mr. Manager, we'll be
good if yer don't let the band play!"
