THE HICKORY DEMOCRAT HICKORY, N. C., THURSDAY, MAY^I9OB. THE SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson Vlll. —Second Quarter, For May 24, 1908. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, John, xix, 17-42. Memory Verses, 39, 40—Golden Text, I Cor. xv, 3—Commentary Prepared. by Rev. D. M. Stearns. [Copyright. 1308, by American Prest Association.] The rulers of the Jews having reject ed Jesus as thwir king, saying. "We have no king but Caesar" (verse 15), and insisting that Jesus be crucified. Pilate delivered Jesus to their will (Luke ssili. 25*. It is uot the will of God that any should perish (II Pet. iii, 9), but it is the will of man and the devil that, if possible, God should be dethroned and ruled out of His uni verse. What a rebel against God and man the devil is, and how wonderfully patient aud long suffering is our God! So they took Jesus and led Him away, and He. bearing His cross, went forth, two malefactors being ted with Him. Think of the condition of His back after the scourging and of His whole being after that night of mental agony and it will not seem strange that an other had to bear His cross. It seem ed a hard day for Simon, the Cyrenian, but it was really the best day he ever came to. All our crosses and disap pointments are the best things we have, but because we see self and not Jesus we do not always think so. A com pany of women bewailed and lamented His as He passed out of the city, and He could in some measure forget His own sorrow in [lis sorrow for them (Luke x.\ iii, 27-31). There Is no record of a woman being unkind to Him per sonally. The name of the place where they crucified Him, the place of a skull, has at least this suggestion—that all the world has apart from the love of God In Christ Is as empty as a skull. In the cross of Christ alone is redemp tion. and in Him alone are rest aud sat isfaction. "They crucified Him" (18) just three words; but, oh, the agouy of It, and the shame and the farreachlng sig nificance of it, and it takes In even me. "The Son of God loved me and gave Himself for me" (Gal. 11. 20). We may know about It r'.id talk "about it. but unless there Is a heart appropriation of Himself there is no benefit We can not explain it or dSfieVstand it. We are not expected to, but we can receive and hold fast the very words of Scrip ture, and the entrance of the word will give life and light. He was wounded for my transgressions and bruised for my iniquities. His own self bare my sins In His own body (Isa. liii. 5; I Pet. H. 24). This I can believe and thank Ilim and rejoice that a just God will not ask me to bear what lie has borne for me, I having truly received Him as my Saviour. Bishop Thorold has said that to recognize what we cannot explain and to consent that it should not be explained Is the humility of true wisdom, and to accept what we could not otherwise have known on the au thority of God's revealed word is the obedience of faith. The crowd who passed by aud reviled Him. the chief priests and the rulers who moekeci and derided Him and the soldiers who parted his garments anions them and cast lots upon His vesture and the thieves who also reviled Him give us a glimpse of nearly every possible phase of human nature and the attitude of the natural heart of inan toward God. So it was in the days of Noah when He swept them away by the deluge, and so it is'still, yet He tJears with man in his mad folly and is not willing that any should per ish. The first three words from the cross, "Father, forgive them," "Today thou shalt be with Me in paradise," "Behold thy son; • * * behold thy mother" (Luke xxiii, 34. 43; John xix, 26, 27), set be fore us the forgiveness of sins, the home above and all needful care and provision in this present life—grace here and glory hereafter and all that is necessary in between. "He who spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?" (Rom. vili. 32.-) As one has said. He gave His Son—anything after that Note the say ing in our lesson chapter "that the Scripture might be fulfilled" (verses 24, 28, 30, 37). and His own words, "The Scripture cannot be broken," and again, "All things must be fulfilled which were written in the law of Moses and In the prophets and In the Psalms concerning Me" (John x, 35;' Luke xxiv, 44). As truly and literally as all were fulfilled concerning His suf ferings, «o truly and literally shall all the sayings be fulfilled concerning His glory, and He who was born King of the Jews and was crucified as such •hall yet be seen and accepted by them as a nation as their Messiah and shall reign over them from the throne of David, according to Isa. ix, 8; xxiv, 23; xxv, 9; Luke I, 32, 33. If you believe it do tell it out an* give Him no rest about It (Isa. lxii, a 7), for many believers are too much like the disciples who forsook Him and fled, while there are few as bold as were Joseph and Nicodemus in this emergency (verses 38-42). We are in days when the word is greatly needed, "Watch ye; stand fast in the faith; quit you like men; be strong" a Cor. xvi, 13), and also that word in Jud« 8, R. V., "Contend earnestly for the faith wjjlch SEAB oace lot aU deUiergd unto the saints." In" that mortal body the glory of God was wondrously con cealed all those thirty-four years, as was the glory of God concealed in the Holy of Holies behind-the veil in the temple. See in Heb. x. 20. how the veil typified His body. Ashamed of a Father. - Two men had entered into an agreement* to r«b one of their nighbors. Everything was plan ned. They were to enter his house at midnight, break open his chests and drawers, and car ry off all the silver and gold they could find. "He is rich and we are poor," said they to each other, byway of encouragement in the evil they were about• to perform. ' 'He will never miss a little gold, while its possession will make us happy. Besides, what right has one man to all this world's goods?" Thus they talked together. One of thepe men had a wife and children, but tne other had no one in the world to care for but himself. The man who had children went home and joined his family, after agreeing upon a place of meeting with the other at the darkest hour of the coming night. "Dear father," said one of the children, climbing upon his knee, "I am so glad you have come home again." The presence of his child troubled the man, and he tried to push him away; but his arm clung tightly about his neck and he laid his face again-t his cheek and said in a sweet and gentle voice. "I love you, father!" Involuntarily the man drew' the innocent and loving one to his bosom,, and kissed him. There were two older children in the man's dwelling, a boy and a girl. They were poor, and these children worked daily to keep up the supply of bread, made deficient more through idleness in the father than from lack of employment. These children came home soon after their father's return and brought him their earnings for the day. "Oh father!" said the boy, "such a dreadful thing has hap pened! Henry Lee's father was arrested today for robbing, they took him out of our shop when Henry was there, and carried him off to prison. I was so sad when I saw Henry weeping. And he hung his head for shame of his own father! Only think of that!" "Ashamed of his farther!" thought the man. And will m> children hang their heads, also, in shame? No, no, that shall never be. At the hour of midnight, the man who had no children to throw around him a sphere of better influence, was waiting at the place of rendezvous for him whose children had saved him. But he waited in vain. Then he said: "I will do the deed myself, and take the entire reward." And he didaccording to his word When the other man went forth to his labor on the next day, he learned that his accomplice had been taken in an act of robbery and was already in prison. "Thank Heaven for virtuous children!" said he with fervor. "They have saved me. Never will I do an act that will cause them to blush for their father."— Selected.

A Baltimore man was taken to a hospital in that city the other day to be operated on for appen dicities. His doctors after making a diagnosis of the case declared that the man's appendix was n such condition that the only chance to save his life was to cut him open and that part of his internal make-up. So the pa tient was hurried to the hospital placed on the operating table, chloroformed and cut open, when, % lo and behold, it was found that nature had stolen a march on the doctors and gotten the laugh on them by having re fused at his birth to supply the infant with that scientifically declared useless appendage to its internals. The appendix which because of its diseased condition was about to cause the man's death was not here; there never had deen one there. The man probably had an oldfashioned sase. oI oramp cholic which his grandmother would have cured with calomel, salts and mush poultices. Never can tell when you'll mash a finger or suffer a cut, bruise, burn or scald. Be prepared. Dr. Thomas' Eclectric Oil instantly relieves the pain —quickly cures the wound. So the distillers and saloon keepers are making trips to the country of nights, and endeavor ing to get the good, honest farmers to take the negro's place, as a voter. These fellows some of whom aro murderers and ex-jail birds, are a pretty set to be going about trying to get decent people to lock arms with them, march up to the ballot box together and vote the same ticket. What respectable church member can so far forget him self and his obligations to his God, his family, his country and himself, as to lock arms and yote with such a brigade of de bauchees and moral prostitutes? —Carolina Watchman.

W. S. Martin & Co. Democrat and Press, Consolidated 1905. "I'll Horsewhip You." The feature, as the saying is with the newspapers, of the speaking by Rev. J. G. Adams, of Texas, prohibition question in front fo the Central Hotel this morning was the very empnatic threat made by Mrs. Mary Isabel Rice, who has been here a day or two fighting the prohibition question. "I'll horsewhip you if vou attack me personally," she told the cyclonic Texan, after which he had made several statements which she thought derogatory to her. "That's all right, madan, after he had made several you, but tne people you represent. I have known the National Liquor Dealers' Association to do every thing digaeputable but horsewhip a man, so come ahead and let's see how it is." But Mrs. Rice didn't go. The Rev, Mr. Adams is an en tertaining talker. He is possess ed of ready repartee in addition to haveing that eviable faculty of keeping himself and his au dience in the best of humor. He will speak to-night at 8 o'clock in in the court house. Her hand this man could not get, His health was not as it should be, He had not used the "best as yet," Hollister's Rocky Mountain Tea. ' ✓ Menzies Drug Co. Reaches the People. The development of publicty condition has shown that news papers advertising is by far the most affective in lines designed to reach the great mass of the people and involving the staple necessities of every-day life. There are millions of want ads which prove the reaching effect, of newspaper columns to say noth ing of the "bargain sales" of the great commercial emporiums a field into which the periodicals cannot enter. Nature has provided the stomach with certain natural fluids known as the digestive juices, and it is through these juices that the food we eat is acted upon in such a way as to produce the rich, red blood thatiflows through the veins of our body and thereby makes us strong, healthy and robust, find it is the weakening of these digestive juices that destroys health. It is our own fault if we destroy our own health, and yet it is so easy for anyone to put the stomach out of order.

She lived with her mother, a widow in the edge of the city, and he -5 * way led by a saloon. Out of the saloon stag gered a negro fiend. He follow ; d her to i ditch near by where he assaulted and shot her. Little Margaret draged herself to her mother's gate where, clinging to the palings she died. The negro was imediately arrested anJ lodged in jail. Howling mobes soon gathered and, but for the quick action of governor, he would have been lynched. With in nine days he had been tried and executed. Now was the negro alone responsible for this murder? Are not those who by I their ballots, allowed this saloon jto exist equally guilty of the murder of Margaret Lear? Think of this before you cast your ballot on the 26th. Letter to Bolch & Bolch. Hickory, N. C. Dear Sir; A few years ago, a New York daily got-up a great agitation for dollar gas, and got it; The State pass ed the law, and the people liked it, ot course, till the bills came-in. The bills were bigger, not less; the law didn't say what the gas should be. The price of a gallon of honest paint is $1.75; but there's "paint" all the way from 35 cents to $1.75. A popular price is $1.25; tker 3 are scores of "paints" at that price. Like doilar gas. If $1.75 is the price of a go! Ion of honest paint, you may be quite sure the re are scores of "paints" at all prices from that down, with paint enough in them to pass for paint. And what are you going to do about it? It takes from $2 to $4 a gallon to pay the painter for doing his work. It is worth while to pay $2 to $4 a gallon for brusuing-on paint'half whitewash? No; the expense of that extra and useless labor makes counterfeit paint cosa more than true. The remedy is Devoe. There are eight houest paints; Devoe is the strang est One of the eight.
