WHAT CAUSES GALL
STONES?
\ /TOST women over forty have j;.all
IV 1 stones. They are about three
times as common in women as in men.
Tliey are most frequently found be
tween fifty and sixty.
Callstones are found in the gallblad
der, a pear-shaped sac which is the
overflow tank of the liver. In it the
surplus bile, secreted by the liver, is
stored until it is needed. If the lining
of this tank becomes irritated and the
bile in the I sink becomes too thick,
iherr the mucus secreted by ' the in
flamed membrane unites with the
thickened bile to form solid masses.
? !l is claimed by some physiologists
thai the starting poir.t of a gallstone
is always a bunch of germs which
have go! lei. intu the gallbladder, siart
etl an infiammat ion of the lining and
then become- the center around which
the gallstone forms.
Some gallstones, are soft, otlr r- ,u ;?
hard. .Some are very smmi. *?o .;.i-t.i
than a pinliead, others may be si,
isirge sis I" fill t l?e whole gallbladder.
When a gallstone starts it grows like
a snowball; but in layers. If a num
ber start about the same time and
grow with equal rapidity, they are
squeezed 011 each oilier by the elastic
pressure of the gallbladder and so
have facets or sides.
I>oes the infection and inflammation
of the gallbladder cs.'nse the gallstones
or do the scratching sind irritation of
the gallstones cause the inflammation?
Which existed first, the fowl or ilit
. ? 1 r ft %* ??
Gallstones themselves do no harm.
Probably every one past forty lias one
or more anil never knows it. It is
only when they become too large or
too numerous or when they try to get
out through the duct or cstusil into the
small intestine that they cause pain,
or by plugging up the canal and: so
preventing the flow of bile, they cause
jaundice. Then tliey must be r<
moved.
What causer, them? Two thin
vhich are responsible for a good share
of human ills. Ivating too much a V

I. His Prayer for Himself (vv. !-?>)?
I'ullv conscious thai I !>?? hour of His
mifilixioh was at hand 11'' piavtd
the K:ii her spying. "Clovil'y tliy Son.
that thy Son u.Lso may glorify 1 hee.
His coining into the world had as us
supreme inissjoi; till* glorification o
till* Father. In order that the Father
might he glorified it was necessary
that the Son should he glorified.
1. To Mm Had Been Given the Pow
er to Give Eternal Life to Cod's
Chosen Ones (vv. 2, 31). Eternal life
is knowledge of and a right relation
to the true God and Jesus Christ.
Thus we see that eternal life is a re
lationship and not an entity.
2. He Declared That He Had Fin
ished the Work Committed Unto Him
(v. 4). The detlnUf work which He
came to do was to give eternal life to
the chosen of God.
II. His Prayer for His Immediate
Disciples (vv. 0-10).
1. Their Preservation (vv. 0-10). He
ciid not pray that they would he taken
out of the world hut that they might
he kept from the Evil One. It Is not
the divine will that we go to heaven
at once when we believe because :
(1) Christ needs our ministry.
Those who have been made partakers
cf the divine life are His representa
tives in the world.
(2) We need Ills grace strength
ened and developed in us. Heaven Is
a prepared place and only those who
have been prepared for It can be ad
mitted into it. .
(3) The world needs us. Christ de
clares that the disciples are the light
of the world, the salt of the earth
(Matt. 5:10). Only as the light of
the Lord shines forth through the dis
ciples can the people in the world tind
ttieir way.
2. Their Sanctlfi.*!* ion (w. 17-19).
(1) Sanctify means: First, to set
apart; that means then that the dis
ciples were to be set apart to do the
specific . work of representing Christ;
second, to cleanse; those who are set
apart as His representatives need the
special cleansing grace to make them
vessels fit for the Master's use.
(2) The instrument ustnl (v. ^17).
They were to be sanctified through
Cod's truth. Cod's truth is His Word.
(3) The purposp (v. 18). They
were sanctified in order that they
might be qualified for Ills service in
the world.
(4) Jesus' own sanctlficatlon was for
that purpose (v. IP). He Is the grand
example.
III. His Prayer for His Future Dis
ciples (vv. 20-26).
1. Their Unification (v v. 20-23). His
great concern was that all believers
should be united.
(1) The grand pattern of this spir
itual union Is the union that exists
between the Father and the Son (v.
21).
(2) The incentive making possible
this union (v. 22). The vision of the
glory of God In Christ (II Curr. 3:18)
Is the grand incentive which unites
the believers.
(3) The purpose (v. 23). The su
preme objective in the unification of
the believers is to convince the world
that Cod sent Jesus Christ to save It.
2. Their Glorification (vv. 24-20).
The disciple of Christ enjoys fellow
ship with the Father and t lie Son and
fellowship with his fellow believer,
but he also looks forward to the
time when he shall he glorified.
(1) "I will that they be with Me
where I am" (v. 24). There is a pres
ent glory enjoyed by believers.
(a) They are now children of Cod.
although it does not yet appear what
they shall he.
(h) They now possess eternal life
and therefore shall never perish.
While there is the present glory. Jesus
wants His disciples to be with Him
in Heaven, lie said. "Except a grain
of wheat fall into the ground and dj?.
It abideth alone." We can reverently
say that unless the believer is taken
to Heaven Christ will be lonely.
(2) "Behold my glory" (v. 24). The
believer shall share the ineffable glory
of Christ (I John 3:1-3).
The Master-Word
The master-word of Christianity Is
love. '
Charity
A bone to the dog is not charity.
Charity is the bone .shared with the
dog when you are just as hungry as
