THE FEATHERHEADS
That's That
To the Rescue!
A member of the club had the habit
of eating his soup in a boisterous fash
ion. The noise upset other members,
but they were too r>olite to protest.
One day, however, when the offen
sive sounds were at their loudest, a
young and nerveless member strode to
the culprit and said:
"May I help, sir?"
"Help !** repeated the diner. "I
don't need any help!"
"Sorry," said the youngster, **T
thought perhaps you might wish to be
dragged ashore."
Bad for Chickens

mother lamenting the fact that moths

Some time later she was Inspecting
the chickens, which were molting.
Running to the house she exclaimed
excitedly :
"Mother, the moth has been In the
chickens and they are losing all their
fur!"
More Difficult
"Most of us take things very seri
ously."
"Yes," replied Miss Cayenne. "And
It !s largely due to indolence. In or

IC ? 1 * Si.r.i of Christianity.
1. Christ's Amazing Love for His
Own (vv. 1-3).
Jesus was fully conscious of what
was immediately before him. He
knew that the cross with all Its shame
and anguish was upon him. He knew
? that his disciples would shamefully
forsake him in a few hours. He knew
that one ?>f that number would be the
instrument in the hands of the Devil
in his betrayal. He was fully con
sclous of his d^ity. He knew that all
. things were in his hands. Despite all
This. he displayed great patience and
manifested ULtirinc love. H? did not
withdraw his love from them because
"f their weakness and the shameful
failure which he knew would soon be
made manifest. He not only loved
them to the end of his earthly min
istry. but loved them unto the "utter
most." "I.oved to the uttermost'*
means that he bestowed upon them
his love even to the extent of taking
their place in death.
li. Christ Washing the Disciples* ,
Feet (vv. 4-11).
This act was symbolic of his amaz
in? love for his disciples. Jesus did
i n?.t regard his hands too holy to do
this menial service.
f L Steps in this service (vv. 4-0).
a. He rises from supper.
b. Laid aside his garments
c. Took a towel and girded himself.
d. Pound water into a basin.
e. Washed his disciples' feet.
f. Wiped them with the towel
wherewith he was girded.
These steps symbolize Christ's en
tire work of redemption. Ills rising
from supper represents his rising from
his place of enjoyment in the heaven
ly glory. His laying aside his gar
ments symbolized his pntting aside
his vesture of majesty (Phil. 2:7. 8).
His girding himself symbolized his
taking the form of a servant (Phil.
2:7). The water in the basin ? his
' cleansing blood. His washing of the
disciples' feet? his actual cleansing
of them through his Word (John 13:3; :
Eph. 5:26). His taking his garments
? again ? his returning to his place and
! position of glory.
2. Peter's impetuosity and Ignor
ance (vv. G-0). When he realized
what the Lord was doing, he refused
to have his feet washed. When he
realized the peril of refusal, he de
sired to be fully washed. He went
from one extreme to another.
3. The significance of this service
to those who participate !n it (vv
8-11).
a. It is a spiritual cleansing (v. 8).
! Fellowship with Jesus is only possible
as we are continuously cleansed from
our sins. The cleansing here ia not
the washing of regeneration, but that !
of sanctificntion. Even those who are
, regenerated need the continual cleans
ing of Christ's blood in order to ha ve '
fellowship with him. He that is re- j
generated ; that Is. washed in the !
blood of Christ (symbolized by water ?
baptism), does not need a repetition |
of the act, but he needs the cleasing ;
of sanctification (symbolized by the i
washing of the feet).
b. A badge of brotherly affection
(?. 14). This act showed his aban- I
donment to the service of his disci
ples. This is a lesson that is much
needed today. True love is tested by
: the service it renders.
c. A proof of humility (v. 15). This
j was a lesson much needed by the dis
ciples, and much needed by us all to
day. They had Just been disputing
as to who should be the greatest la
the kingdom. Thus their selfish am
bition was expressing itself. On
every hand we see expressions of
pride, vanity, and even arrogance, in
those who are professed followers of
the lowly Jesus.
d. Equalization (v. 16). As the
disciples were thus served by Jesus
Christ, their vain ambitions were re
buked. To enter into this service In
the Spirit of Christ is to encounter a
leveling of humanity.
III. An Example for Us (tt. 14-16).
Christ the Lord of all became the
servant of all, and his disciples are
under solemn obligation to follow him
In their service to others^
This obligation rests upon hit lord
ship (t. 14).
Girl at the Top
in Health Tests
Millions of boys
and girls all "over the
world, thousand? o* I
them right here In
the West, are being
restored to health
and strength by the
purely vegetable ton
ic and laxative
known as California Fig Syrup and
endorsed by physicians for over GO
years.
Children need no urging to take It.
They love it3 rich, fruity flavor.
Nothing can compete with it as a gen
tle, but certain laxative, and it goes
further than this. It gives tone and
strength to the stomach and bowels
so these organs continue to act nor
mally, of their own accord. It stimu
lates the appetite, helps digestion.
A Kansas mother, Mrs. Dana All
pire, 610 Monroe SU, Topeka, says:
"Bonnie B. Is absolutely the picture
of health, now, with her ruddy cheeks,
bright eyes and plump but graceful
little body and she stands at the top
in every health test.
Much of the credit for her perfect
condition Is due to California Fig
Syrup. We have used It since baby
1 od to keep her bowels active dur
ing colds or any children's ailments
and she has always had an easy time
with them. She always responds to
its gentle urging and is quickly back
to normal."
Ask your druggist for California
Fig Syrup and look for the word
"California" on the carton so you'll
always ?f?t the genuine.

STOP THAT COLO
Distressing cold in chest oc
throat--that so often leads to
something serious ? generally responds
to good old Musterole with the first
application. Should be more effective if
used once every hour for five hours.
This famous blend of oil of mustard,
camphor, menthol and other helpful in
gredients brings relief naturally. Mus
terole gets action because it is a scieuti&c
"counter-irritant" ? not just a salve
?it penetrates and stimulates blood
circulation, helps to draw out infection
and pain. Used by millions for 20 years.
Recommended by doctors and nurses.
To Mothers? Musterole is also
made in milder form for babies
and small children. Ask for Chil
dren's Musterole.
