INTERNATIONAL LESSON TOR FEBRUARY SR. 1891. F IS. "And Elisha saw It” He had asked for a double portion of the spirit of Elijah, 'hud the reply was, “If thou see me taken . ffom thee, it shall be so unto thee” (ts. 10). , Now we are told that he saw the chariot and horses of Are, and the whirlwind which took Elijah to heaven, and we will upset, there fore, to see in him the spirit of Eli jah. “And he cried. My father, my father! the chariot of Israel and the horsemen thereof." When Israel wont down to Egypt to Joseph his son, we read that wagons were sent from Egypt to bring him and his house hold, and that Joseph went out in a chariot to meet him; but these are the horses arid chariots of heaven, sent down to meet the servant of God and carry him to glory. “And he saw him no more.” Separated for the present, one gone out to walk with God in glory, and the other left to continue as a witness for God on earth. How often is It so stUll And though we may have to lay away the bodies of our loved ones, as Elisha's was laid away, we may be sure that the mes sengers fif God have welcomed them home (Lukexvi., 9~ 13, 13* “And he took hold of his own clothes and rent them in two pieces. He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back and stood by the bank of Jordan.” Thus he discards himself, puts himself off and pots on Elijah. Jesus our Master has ascended, and has left on earth many who believe in Him to be His wit nesses* He has also sent down the Holy Spirit to live in us, and be in us the power for service and testimony, mid the work can be done only as our golden text tells us (Zech. tv„ 6). 14. “And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters and said; Where is the Lord God of Elijah?” He now acts in the name of Elijah, using the mantle of Elijah, and looking to the Lord God of Elijah. So did Peter and John when they said to the lame man: “In the name of Jesus Christ of Nasareth, rise up and walk” (Acts jit, 6). Or to take an older illustration, so did David when he said to Goliath: “I come to thee in the name of the Lewd of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel” (I Sam. xvii., 46). ".ana wnen ne also naa smitten the wa ters. they parted hither and thither, and Elisha went over.” The same power that had been manifested on behalf or millions, and so recently on behalf .of two merLjs now not forth on behalf oflfiishA only. Gfod will lavish His omnipotence on one man who is willing to stand for Him; bat LtVas got simply for the sake of one .man, bufcfortbe sake of many that Ha might be glorifled. 15. “The spirit of Elijah doth jrest on Elisha.” Thus testified tile sons of the prophets who from Jericho had witnessed the dividing of the waters. Whence priest came ont from ministering La the holy place, the odor of the incense, ever burning there, and which would cling to his gy ments, would quickly tell where no nad “And they came to m^efc him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him.” They worshiped God in Elisha, or as Patti says, “They glorified God in me” (Gal. t, §4). Thus Potiphar saw God in Joseph, and so al so did the keeper of the prison and Pharaoh the king (Gen. xxxix, 2, 3. 23; xli., 38). 16. “Xet them go. wp pray thee, and seek thy master; lest peradventure the Spirit of the Lord hath taken him up and cast him upon some mountain or into some valley.” Tne sons of the prophets request that fifty strong men should go and rescue Elijah from possible difficulties in which the Spirit of the Lord might hAve left him; &>w little thoee whp live afar off (vs. 7) under stand the ways and wonders of the love of GoA 17. “They sent, therefore, fifty men; and they sought three days, but found him not” At first Elisha refused to allow them to go, but when they urged and insisted he finally consented, and this is the result. In Heb. xt, 5, it is written that Enoch “was not fonpd.” from which we would naturally infer that he too was sought for, but in vain. will ha many searching parties for missing ones in that day when I Cor. xv., 51, 50J I Tueea, hr., 16, 17, shall have been ful filled, bat they will not be found any more than Enoch and Elijah were found, for they shall have gone to meet the Lord in the air to be forever with Him. 18. “And when they came again to him (for he' tarried at Jericho) he said unto them, Did I not say unto you, Go not?” The energy of the flesh can only be shown its folly by allowing it to prove its helplessness. These fifty were sure that they knew better than Elisgaa, but their vain efforts have now done for them what they would not let his words do, that is. convince them of their, folly. They had wasted three days’ time’ and strength and accomplished nothing. Many Christian workers are wasting much time and strength and accomplishing little or nothing because they live far off from God and know not the power of His holy spirit. Elisha, had three days’ rest from the company of such prophets, which must have been a great relief to him, and afforded him time for quiet communion with God. lfit “Behold, I pray thee, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my Lord seeth; but the water is naught and the ground barren.” Pleasant to the eyes, but upfruitfulness and death was in it; how like the tree of the knowledge of good and evil in the garden of Eden. There is only life aud fruitfulness where the Spirit of God 1?, and however pleasant or attractive a person or a work -appear, without the Spirit all is death 20 ‘And he said.

The sinner cannot be heated by any mere reformation of conduct; he must be born again, or have placed in him an entirely new fountain,boni from above (John ill., 7, margin). And even after that we may find that there seems to come from the same fountain both sweet wate-and bitter (Ja* Hi., ICl 11), but ws must learn that his need is to be filled with the Spirit ofGod, and only then shall the old imtnre which gives bittor water be effecttnl np and prevented from flowing, ^bus saith the Lord, I have these water*.” Wot Eli.ha, not th<rlalt, tat Jehovah that healeth thee” (Ex. ir., 2d), The .alt was the symbol, Elisha the inatru 21, 22. “There shall not be from thence tatT^TwT^X'tgfr^ Mmetaary then everything shall live wUttar toe river cometh (Ea. xlvfl., «, 12).

Ib tkeKaitor Rochester (ff. ¥.) Democrat : Bnt—On aha drat day of June, 1881, 1 lay in this city surrounded by at my resUmee __ my friende and waiting for death. Heaven oofy known the agony I then endured, tor words can never daeoribe it. And yet, if a faw yean previous any one had told me that I was to be brought so low, and by ao ter ribie a disease. I Should have scoffed at the idea. I had always been uncommonly strong and healthy, and weighed over 300 pounds and hardly knew, in my own experience, what pain or sickness were, Very many people who will read this statement realise at times that they are unusually tired and cannot aooount for it. They feel dull pains in various parts of the body and do not understand why. Or they are exceedingly hungry one day and entirely without appetite the next. This was Just the way I felt HHH, way I felt wheat the relentless malady which had fastened it self upon me first began. Still I thought nothing of it, that probably I had taken a cold which would soon pass away. Shortly after this 1 noticed a heavy, and at times neuralgic, pain in one aide of my head, but as it would come one day and be gone the next, I paid little attention to it. Then my stomach would get out of order and my food often failed to digest, causing at times great inconvenience. Yet, even as a phy sician, I did not think that these things meant anything serious. I fancied I was suffering from malaria and doctored myself accordingly. But I got no better.' I next noticed a peculiar color and odor about the fluids I was passing—also that there were large quantities one day and very little the next, and that a persistent froth and scum appeared on the surface, and a sediment settled. And yet I did not realise my danger, for, indeed, seeing these symptoms continually, I finally became accustomed to them, and my suspicion was wholly disarmed bv the fact that I had no paid In the affected organs or in their vicinity. Why I should have been so blind I cannot under stand. > l consulted the best medical skill in the land. I visited all the famed minei In America and traveled from California. Still I grew worse. No two physicians agreed as to my malady. One said I was troubled with spinal irritation; another, dyspepsia; another, heart disease; another, general debility: another, conges tion of the base of the brain; and so on through a long list of common diseases, the symptoms of many of which I really had. In this way several years passed, during which time I was steadily growing Worse. My condition had really become pitiable. The slight symptoms I had at first experi enced were developed into terrible and con stant disorders. My weight had been re duced from 207 to 130 pounds. My life was a - burden to myself and friends. I coiild retain no food on my stomach, and I lived wholly by injections. I was a living mass of pain. My pulse was unoontrolable. In iny agony I frequently fell to the floor and clutched the carpet; and prayed for death. Morphine bad little or no effect in deadening the pain. For six days and nights I had the deatli-premonitory hiccoughs constantly. My water was filled with tube-casts and albumen. I was struggling with Bright’s disease of the kidneys in its last stages! While suffering thus I received a callOtom my pastor, the Rev. Dr. Foote, at that time rector of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, of this city. I felt that it was our last interview, but in the course of conversation Dr. Foote detailed to me the many remarkable gpsges of cases like my own which had come under his observation. As a practicing physician and a graduate of the schools, X derided the idea of any medicine outside the regular nhft.nnftb=i being in the least beneficial. So solicitious, howeverr was Dr. Foote, that I finally prom ised I would waive ray prejudice. I began its use on the first day of June; 1881, and took it according to directions. At first it sickened me: but this I thought was a good sign for me in my debilitated condition. I continued to take it: the sickening sensation departed and I was finally able to retain food upon my stomach. In a few days I noticed a decided change for the better, as also did my wife and friends. My hiccoughs ceased and I experienced less pain than formerly. I was so rejoiced at this improved condition that, upon what I had believed but a few days before was my dying bed, I vowed in the presence of my family and friends, should I recover, I would bgth publicly ana privately make know this remedy for the good of humanity, wherever and whenever I had an opportunity, and this letter is in ful fillment of that vow. My improvement was constant from that time, and in less than three months I bad gained twenty-six pounds in flesh, became entirely free from pain and I believe I owe my life and present condition wholly to Warner’s Safe Cfure, the remedy which I used. Since my recovery I have thoroughly re investigated, the subject of kidney difficulties and Bright’s disease, and the truths devel oped are astounding. I therefore state, de liberately, and as a physician, that I believe more than one-half the deaths which occur »» America are caused by Bright's disease of the kidneys. This may sound like a rash statement, but i am prepared to fully verify it. Bright’s disease has no distinctive feat' tires of ite own (indeed, it often develops without any pain whatever in the kidneys or their vicinity), but has the symptoms of nearly every other common complaint. Hundreds of people die daily, whose burials are authorized by a physician’s certificate as occurring from “Heart Disease,” “Apo common complaint^ when in raaUtr it is r"M“ Bright dhtw of the kidneys.

Jones, Edom, Tex., writes • I have used German Syrup for the past six years, for Sore Throat, Cough, Colds, Pains in the Chest and Lungs, and let me say to any one wanting such a medicine— German Syrup is the best. — B.W. Baldwin; Carnesville.Teun., writes : I have used your German Syrup in my family, and find it the best medicine I ever tried for coughs and colds. I recommend it to every one for these troubles. R. Schmalhausen, Druggist, of Charleston, 111.,writes: After trying scores of prescriptions and prepara tions I had on my' files and shelves, without relief for a very severe cold, which had settled on my lungs, I tried your German Syrup. It gave me immediate relief and a perma nent cure. . ® 0. G. GREEN, Sole Manufacturer, Woodbury, New Jersey, U. S. A. 25 CTc No one doubts that Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy really cures Catarrh, whether the disease be recent or of long standing, because the makers of it clinch their faith in it with a .$500 guarantee, which isn’t a mere newspaper guar antee, but “on call” in a moment. That moment is when you prove. that its makers, can’t cure you. The reason for their faith is this: - f Dr. Sage’s remedy ha* proved itself the right cum for ninety-nine out of one hundred cases of Catarrh in •the Head, and the World's Dispensary Medical Associar tion can afford to take the risk of your being the one The only question is—are you. willing to make the test, if the makers are willing to take the risk? \ If so, the rest is easy. You pay your druggist 50. cents and the trial begins. , If you’re wanting the $500 you’ll get something better a cure/_ ■ LjnrHM (Il'VifllVfIPFl60 •*** bourtlfal Bilk * Satfrf TACOMA B?
