YES! LIFT A CORN
OFF WITHOUT PAIN!
Cincinnati man tells how to dry
up a corn or callus so it lifts t
' off with fingers. !
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.

The Need
of Divine
Guidance
By REV. B. B. SUTCLIFFE
J
Of the Extension Department, Moody
mole institute, wmcago
TEXT Then 'I proclaimed a fast . . .
that we might afflict ourselves before God
to seek of Him a right way. Ezra 8:21.
Ferhaps today as never before the
Christian needs to be instructed by
God as to the
right way. There
are three great
reasons why di
vine guidance is
needed.
I. Because
what we are
of
by
nature.
First of all we
are ignorant. It
is unpopular, but
true that "it is
not In man that
walketh to direct
his step s." So
said Jeremiah
long years ago.
And history shows
X V . '
all too dearly that the way that seems
right to a man ends in death and dis
aster. There is no way of knowing
what will take place on the morrow or
even within the nest hour. An explor
er or a tourist going into a strange un
known country will want guidance as
to what lies before him. We take
much care in securing all the Infor
mation we can before starting into
new territory. Many think it neces
sary to prepare for passing to the un
known land beyond the grave, but af
ter all each new day brings such dan
gers and such opportunities that to be
ready for them needs to have the feet
guided into the right way.
Then by nature man is so self-willed
and self-sufficient he needs a higher in
telligence than his own to guide him.
This is humiliating but again history
tells the truth. Ever since Cain in his
self-will chose the wrong way it has
been true that "the way of a man is
forward' and strange," as the Proverb
says. Moses knew something of this
when he declared in his last word to
the people in Deut. 36 :29, "I know that
after my death ye will utterly turn
aside from the way and evil will befall
you."
Again we are so prone to wander
from the right way. As the prophet
says, "All we like sheep have turned
everyone to his own way." Like sheep
we wander, go astray and without
sense keep on going further and furth
er astray.
II. Because of the Character of the
Way Before Us.
It is a difficult way for the Chris
tian in these times. Bogs and mire
are on either side and the way daily
grows narrower. The master himself
warns us in Matt. 7 :13, 14, that "wide
is the gate and broad the way that
leadeth to destruction, and strait is
the gate and narrow the way which
leadeth unto life, and few there be that
find it." So difficult Is the way before
the Christian, besej: by the snares, pit
falls and straps of Satan, and so
strewn with the allurements and at
tractions of the world, that left to him
self he would surely come to destruc
tion. He needs always the guidance
of the one who alone knows all the
difficulties and how to pass them. Not
only difficult, but dangerous is the way.
III. Because of What the Lord Is aa
Guide.
He knows all the way that lies un-
k tried and unknown before the Chris
i tian's feet. He is omniscient. It was
the Lord, not Moses, who led the peo
ple of Israel of old, and It is the Lord
who would guide his people in safety
today. A story is told of a little boy
from which we all may learn. During
a storm a mother sought to rescue a
! family of six children. As the water
burst ppen the door of her home, she
tied her baby on her shoulder and took
a boy of six In her arms. To her fourteen-year-old
daughter she said, "you
must carry one child." "Which one,"
said the girl. The mother looked at
the two, one of four, one of two, un
able to choose. Ben, her boy of eleven,
said, "Ma, I'll take the little one."
"No, my boy, you can't." "I know I
can't," said Ben, "but Jesus can."
"The water is too deep for you," the
dispairing mother said. "It's deep for
true," answered the boy, "but Jesus Is
a tall man." They started, the mother
calling to her children, but soon Ben
ceased to answer. The mother and
the others soon reached a place of
safety. When the tide went down
next day little Ben tramped to them
and put his little charge into the moth
er's arms. Had he followed her the
night before he would soon have been
beyond his depth. But unconsciously
he had turned aside and followed a
bank that years before had marked a
boundary. The water was to his waist,
and a step or two on either side would
have been fatal.
And he can keep the Christian in
the way as well as put him on It. He
is the Almighty one. One day is no
harder for him than another. Though
there be t?ays black with discourage
ment and foreboding 1 and care, he
knows it all and can keep within the
narrow way that leads to life and
light and joy. A story is told of an
Alpine guide who put out his hand
for a traveler to step up by. When
the traveler hesitated the guide said,
"this hand never lost a man." To all
who will listen our guide sajs, "I will
hold thy right hand saying, fear thou
not."

Teacher of English Bible in the Moody
Bible Institute of Chicago.)
(Copyright, 1917, Western Newspaper Union.)
LESSON FOR SEPTEMBER 9
BENEFITS OF TOTAL ABSTI
NENCE. LESSON TEXT Daniel 1.
GOLDEN TEXT But Daniel purposed
In his heart that he would not defile him
self with the portion of the klng'a meat,
nor with the wine which he drank Daniel
1:8.
The booK of Daniel, with the great
prophecies, fulfilled and unfulfilled, Is
one of the most interesting and impor
tant in the Bible. Without a grasp of
the prophecies of this book it is abso
lutely impossible for one to know the
New Testament and the times in which
we live. Daniel gives an outline of the
entire period of time from the passing
of supremacy to the Gentiles in Nebu
chadnezzar to the final overthrow of
the Gentile dominion, to the establish
ment of the millenlal kingdom. The
course, character and end of Gentile
dominion are given. It is that period
known in Scriptures as the "times of
the Gentiles" (Luke 21:24).
The book of Daniel falls into two
parts: Part I (chapters 1 to 6), in
which the prophet appears as the di
vinely chosen interpreter of dreams;
part II (chapters 7 to 12), in which the
prophet appears as the mouthpiece of
God, setting forth In visions, not
dreams, the times of the Gentiles. The
book is written in two languages, He
brew and Aramaic chapter 1 :l-2.3 and
chapters 8 to 12 (Hebrew) ; chapters
2:7:28 (Aramaic). The part which
concerns the Hebrews was written in
their own tongue and the part which
concerns the empires of. the world is
written in their tongue.
I. Daniel's Home Leaving (w. 1-4).
He was carried away to Babylon by
Nebuchadnezzar In the first siege of Je
rusalem. This was a great trial for
his own heart. He seems to have been
about fourteen years of age.
II. Daniel's Trials and Difficulties
(vv. 5-13). It was the custom for the
best of the captives to be selected and
trained for service In the land of cap
tivity. They usually selected those of
the royal house for such training.
1. Change of name. Among the He
brews names were given to children,
which were significant. Daniel means
"God is my judge." The significance
of the name then was that all prob
lems of life were submitted to God for
decision. This was the secret of Dan
iel's life.- This purpose of his parents
seems to have been instilled into his
very life and being. So thoroughly did
he imbibe this spirit that in all things
he made God arbiter of his plans and
purposes. The object no doubt in the
change of name was to obliterate his
national and religious connection and
identify him with the heathen people.
The king of Babylon evidently liked
Daniel's appearance and scholarship,
but was averse to his religion. It is
the same today. Nations and individ
uals are perfectly willing to recognize
and utilize the scholarship and efficien
cy of Christian ministers and mission
aries, but are not willing to embrace
their religion.
2. His conscience tested (w. 5-8). It
was with reference to the king's meat
and the king's wines. It Is ever to be
borne in mind that conscience is the
groundwork of human character. -It is
the law which must be followed. No
doubt Daniel was taunted and laughed
at for his fidelity, just as all men and
women today who are loyal to their
convictions must experience, for all
who will live godly in Christ Jesus
shall suffer persecution.
3. His religious life. This involved
his refusal to eat meat and drink wine
which was contrary to his teaching.
Also it involved his praying three times
a day. ,
III. His Success (vv. 14-21). 1. Phy
sical health (v. 15).
Godly and temperate living pays.
The king's meat and wine would have
been pleasant to the palate, but would
have meant compromise of conscience,
2. Mental growth (v. 20). He was ten
times superior to his comrades. It is
always true that those who abstain
from indulgence in the use of wine
have clearer minds and are mentally
better equipped for their work than
those who indulge.
3. Social. Daniel stood before the
king. No higher position of honor
could have been given him.
4. Temporal. He became president
of the College of Wise Men and prime
minister of the nation. This position
he continued to hold through several
dynasties.
5. Spiritual (v. 17). Because of Dan
iel's loyalty to God, Nebuchadnezzar's
dream was revealed to him and he was
giving visions sketching the whole his
tory of the world.
IV. The Secret of His Success. The
following may be set down as the
things which made Daniel successful:
1. lie was conscientious. If we would
succeed in the world, let us see to it
that In all things we live in good con
science. 2. Loyalty to God. He made God the
judge of everythinz that pertained to
his life. No pleasure was indulged in
or problem disposed of without Its sub
mission to God.
3. Decision of character. With him
that which had been submitted to God
and was shown to be right before God.
was the law of his life.
