Word Picture of Jerusalem.
The best word-picture of the ancient
city of Jerusalem Is Pierre Lull's. He
went ihilher on a pilgrimage from
, Egypt across the desert, along the
anio line which has been followed by
the Lngli-h forces. "The sun rises,
pale, ominously yellow, a sun of
storm, amid threatening clouds," he
writes. "P.eyotid, a large city is grad
ually revealed, on stony and mourn
ful mountains; through the dust and
lashing rain it is nt easy to distin
guish it. Jerusalem, recog
nizable frot a all other towns, with its
formidable walls and its little cupola
covered roofs of stone; Jerusalem,
clooniy and high, inclosed within its
Ttattlements. under a dark sky. . . ."

A GREAT DISCOVERY
(Ey J. II. Watson, il. D.)
Swollen hands, ankles, feet are due to
a dropsical condition, often caused by
disordered kidneys. Naturally when the
kidneys are deranged the blood is filled
with poisonous waste matter, which set
tles in the feet, ankles and wrists; or un
der the eyes in bag-like formations.
As a remedy for those easily recognized
symptoms of Inflammation caused by uric
acid as scalding urine, backache and fre
quent urination, as well as sediment in
the urine, or if uric acid in the blood has
caused rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica,
gout. It is simply wonderful how quickly
An-u-ric acts; the pains and stiffness
rapidly disappear, for Anurlc, (double
strength), is many times more potent
than litlila and often eliminates uric acid
as hot water melts sugar. All druggists.
Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets for the
liver and bowels have been favorably

the Sunday School Course of the Moody
Bible Institute, Chicago.)

LESSON FOR DECEMBER 16 j
NEHEMIAH ENFORCES THE LAW
OF THE SABBATH.
LESSON TEXT Nehemlah 13:15-22.
GOLDEN TEXT Remember the Sab
bath Day to keep It holy. Exod. 20:.
Nehemlah remained In .Term.alem
twelve years, from B. C. 444 to II. C.
4."2. Me was then recalled and was
in Persia some years, perhaps five or
seven, but returned about II. C. 425,
the year Artaxerxes died, for we know
that he returned by permission of that
king. Therefore, the date of this les
son would be sometime in the summer
or early autumn of 426 or 427 B. C,
1(5 or 18 years following last Sunday's
lesson.
Ia the section, vv. 10-14. ve see that
the gifts for the house of Ood and
the Levltes, who led In worship, had
been neglected. Whenever the house
of God and its service of worship Is
neglected, we may expect that the Sab
bath day and the worship of God will
also soon fall into contemil. Ezra has
dropped out of our history without a
him as to his end.
I. "Remember" (v. 14) the fcJeglect
of God's House, (vv. 1-14). The neg
lect of God's house grew up out of the
incursion of heathenism into Jewish
life. Nehemlah realized that the pur
ity of the race depended upon absolute
separation from the mixed multitude,
(v. 3). Nehemiah also confronted the,
difficulty of having a priest ,(vv. 4. fi).
who had defiled himself and also dese
crated the temple, and finally the por
tion for the support of the priest ana
the temple worship had been withheld,
(v. 10).
II. "Remember" (v. 12) the Sab
bath Day. (vv. 15-22). Nehemlah'?
next and most difficult reform was re
garding the fourth comm.-.ndment. He
at once set about to learn the facts;
then relates what he saw (v. 15). The
record also tells how he testified
against them in that they were selling
merchandise on the Sabbath day. He
contended with the nobles that they
had done evil on the Sabbath day. (v.
17). lie testified against them that
the merchants and sellers of ware had
lodged about and within Jerusalem,
(vv. 20, 21). The root of the trouble
with Judah was that they forgot God's j
word and followed the devices and de- j
sires of their own hearts. The Jewish
Sabbath in its outward form on the
exact day of the week is not binding
upon Gentile Christians (Col. 2 :10. 17).
It was given to Israel as a people,
(Deut. 5:1, 2), as a memorial of their
deliverance out of the land of Egypt
and the house of bondage. (Deut. 5 :0)4
The Christian, by the death of Christ.
Is made dead to the letter of the law
of Moses, (Deut. 7:4), but the prin
ciple of the Sabbath Is older than even
the law of Moses nnd Is as binding
upon the Christian believer as are the
many other principles which underlie
the Mosaic law. In Its exact form, the
seventh day, the observance of the
Sabbath belongs to the old order and
not to the Christian order. Christ, who
rose from the dead (Rom. 7 :4). rose
on the first day of the week, and we,
as joined to Christ, are not under ob
ligations to the Mosaic law, but to
Christ. Therefore, the Lord's day. the
resurrection day, tiho first day of the
week, (Rev. 1:10; John 21:20; 1:10
20; Acts 27), is the day of privilege,
not of obligation and is more sacred
to us than the Sabbath day of those
Jews. The Jews in Nehemiah's time
showed their contempt of the Lord's
day by making it a day of profit, benro
this exhortation which we see set forth
In this section. This should be a warn
ing nnd an exhortation to us in these
days of a secularized Sabbath.
III. "Remember" (v. 29) the Holy
Priesthood, (vv. 23-31). In this scclion
we see that the priesthood bad even
defiled themselves with women, and
again this Nehemiah entered upon a
cleansing process, (vv. 30-31). The use
of this word "remember" In verses 14.
22 and 23 gives strong emphasis to the
three cardinal sins hgr.Inst which Ne
hemiah was battling.
IV. Summary: As in Neheiniah's
time, so now, Sabbath desecration is
the surest road to national ruin, and a
large proportion of our present calam
ity can be traced to growing Irrever
ence for the Lord's day. Jesus swept
away the cobwebs of Sabbath irrever
ence, but did not tear down the house.
He kept the principle, but removed the
barnacles with which the Pharisees
and Jews had encumbered It. Jesus
taught that the Sabbath was made for
man and not man for the Sabbath,
(xMark 2:27, 2S). and he set himself
an example in this regard, for he I?
Lord of that day as well as the other
days of the week.

friend Abner working in an adjacent
field, he paused for a small chat over

Inquiry was made after Abner' s eldest
son, Hezeklah.
"llezeklah is In the city now," an
swered Abner, with some show of
pride. "Been there most a year."
"Yes. I know that," returned Uncle
Josh. "What I was wonderin' was
which side he was on."
"WhieJi side he was on," queried Ab
ner, with a puzzled expression. "1

"What I mean. Abner," explained
Uncle Josh, "is llezeklah buyin' gold

Benefits From Sleep.
S!eep is a great preserver of youth.
Eight hours at night and a short nap
during the day will do much to keep
the face free from wrinkles. Always
sleep with the bedroom window open
a few inches at the top, both in sum
mer and In winter, says a physician.
A daily morning bath, tepid in winter
and cold in summer, with a brisk rub
to follow, will keep the skin fresh and
clear. Two hours must be passed In
the open air, walking, riding or play
ing games. All tight clothing, and
especially tight lacing, must be avoid
ed, as compression disturbs the cir
culation nnd is often the cause of en
larged veins and red noses. A cele
brated woman, who was famous even
In her old age for her beautiful, clear
complexion and freedom from wrin
kles, was once persuaded to tell the
secret of her youthful looks. The an
swer wns simple. Abstinence had
been the rule of her life. No tea, cof
fee or stimulant of any kind. To keep
well drink lemonade or water, eat ap
ples, grapes and figs regularly. Take
the raw juice of a lemon every day.
Never fail to walk regularly. Bathe
frequently.
