Adv. The Third Generation. John Barrymore tells this story about his little nephew, Sammy Colt, the son of his famous sister, Ethel. This story illustrates how the desire of the theatrical artist for "exclusive business" Is probably transmitted from one generation to another. "I was present one night last week when my sister was putting her young. ster to bed," says Uncle John. "She has reared them like old-fashioned child: en, and taught them to say their prayers at night. This night Sammy hesitated, and there was a worried look on his face. He had got no further than 'Now I lay me,' when he stopped. "'Say, muvver,' he complained. don't link I'll say that prayer. I heard another fellow say It today, and If we aren't careful it will get all over to'rn the first thing we know!'"

' A telegram from Greenville to the State Board of Health announced that Pitt county Is the next to have a whole time county health officer.

GOLDKN TEXT Blessed lit Die man whom thou chooarat. 1 (-4. We have before us now the fourth apostasy and servitude of Israel, one which seems to have affected chiefly the four northernmost tribeB (v. 'ib). In preparation for the call and work of Gideon, the sixth Judge, "the chil dren of Israel cried unto heaven," and God sent unto them a prophet who en couraged their flagging faith In Jeho vah and turned them back to him (6:1-10). The now Impoverished and overridden Israelites, who had enjoyed prosperity after their former deliver ance, had again done evil and must Irst Judge their sin and obey the voice of Jehovah before they could receive a message of hope and deliverance through one of Jehovah's prophets. God's Call to Gideon. ' I. Gideon in Prayer, w. 11-13. That the "angel of Jehovah' was a mani festation of Jehovah Is clear from a careful reading of verst 13. There the first use of the word "lord" Is not cap italized, whereas In e second In stance It Is car'tallzed This angel was a foreshadowing o the Incarna tion In Jesus of Nazareth. He is clearly Identified with Jehovah (eee Judges 2:1, 2; Gen. 18:10, 13, R. V.). It was thus that Abraham saw "my day" (John 8:66). "The angel of the Lord" at no time appears after Jesus came, aa the revised text shows. The no madic Midianltes brought ruin to Is rael as the bitter fruit of Its sin. Then was ottered the cry for relief (Ps. 130). The father of Gideon Is passed by, for be waa a worshiper of Baal (v. 25). They who bear the vessels of the Lord, those through whom he works, must have clean hands. God's call to Gid eon came to him (1) while be waa alone, as he was threshing wheat In the hiding place of a winepress, for he dare not thresh in the customary open place of a threshing floor, This call came to him (2) as he was faith fully performing hie duty, that one nearest his hand (v. 11, Ex. 8:1, 2; Luke 2:8, 9). . II. Gideon In Doubt, w. 13-16. Gid eon's thought must have been one of amazement as well as of doubt. His question, "Why then Is all this befal len us?" was a most natural one and one that men even now are asking when they are In great trouble. Suf fering and misery are not all to be laid at God's door, though he permit It, hut chiefly at the door of sin (Ps. 77:7-9; Isa. 49:1, 2). It is possible that Gid eon had not yet recognized his heav enly visitor (cf. v. 21). The name Gideon means "Hewer" or "Treefeller" and indicates, ss all eastern names do, something of his personal character or appearance. Hence the significance of v. Ii. The Lord in the person of the angel looked upon him and said, seeing all of his natural qualifications, but with the emphasis upon the "I" 'Go In thy might ... . have not I sent thee?" Gideon Was the Agent, III. Gideon Assured, w. 33-35. Gid eon's first act on being assured of this heavenly communication was one of worship (w. 17-26). His second one was to take ten picked men and over throw the altar to Baal, thereby dem onstrating the Impotence of Baal and the futility of calling upon him for deliverance.' The tribesmen at once light upon him as having . performed this set and demand his death from Joash, his father, who soems to have been a sort of caretaker of the Idol (v. 25). These same men later become Gideon's enthusiastic followers (w. 34, 36). Gideon thus translated theory Into action and gained confidence. It was one man agalnat the community, and to further rebuke them he erected an altar to Jehovah (v. 28). IV. Gideon's Caution, w. 36-40. Spur. geon said that he- never entered his pulpit to ' preach without trembling, and Gideon would have been more than human, even after assembling his army, had he been absolutely free from doubts. We should never place an "If before any of God's promises, and Jesus reprimanded those of bis day when they demanded a "sign" (won der), but Gideon proved his heroism In part by his caution. Gideon was afraid of himself but was sure of God. Once assured of God's leading be was willing to lead 800 men against the overwhelming force of bla enemies. If such a. demand was a weakness God dealt with it with marvelous patience and tenderness, Just as he condescends to treat our weaknesses. The very life of the nation is at stake, everything de pends upon Gideon's success or fallnra. Caution and courage are never far apart Caution 1" the soul of courage. The fleece suggests a "figure of tor- lorn Israel;" the dew, the presence of the Holy Spirit In the old dispensa tion the dew rested upon Israel while others were dry. In this dispensation Israel is dry while the dew of God ' rests upon the nations. "When God calls lift your soul In prayer and follow in tha direction it leads. 'As you lift yonr soul before God It will wax or wane. If It wanes, abandon it; if it waxes, follow it, though all hell attempt to stay you." r. a UeyeA ). , IS Look, Mother! If tongue it coated, give "California Syrup of Figs." Children love this "fruit laxative," and nothing else cleanses the tender stomach, llvef and bowels so nicely. A child simply will not stop playing to empty the bowels, and the result ts they become tightly clogged with waste, liver gets sluggish, stomach sours, then your little one becomes cross, half-sick, feverish, don't eat. sleep or act naturally, breath Is bad, system full of cold, has sore throat, stomachache or diarrhoea. Listen, Mother! 8ee if tongue Is coated, then Klve a teaspoonfui of "California Syrup of Figs," and In a few hours all the constipated waste, sour bile and undigested food passes out of the sys tem, and you have a well child again. Millions of mothers give "California Syrup of Figs" because It is perfectly harmless; children love it, and it nev er fails to act on the stomach, liver and bowels. ABk at the store for a SO cent bottle of "California Syrup of Figs," which has full directions for babies, children of all nges and for grown-ups plainly printed on the bottle. Adv. His Choice. The man of great financial promi nence had met with an accident. "Well have to probe," Bald the doc tor. Just at that moment the man recov ered consciousness and exclaimed: "If It's a surgical operation go ahead, but If it's another investiga tion, give me an anesthetic." A TREATMENT THAT HEALS MOST SKIN-DISEASES Don't stand that Itching skin humor one day longer. Go to the nearest druggist and, for about 75c, get a Jar of reslnol ointment and a cake of res lnol soap. Bathe the eczema patches with reslnol soap and hot water, dry and apply a little reslnol ointment. It's almost too good to be true. The torturing, Itching and burning stop in stantly, you no longer have to dig and scratch, sleep becomes possible, and healing begins. Soon the ugly, tor tlirlng eruptions disappear completely and for good. Adv. After the War.
