Hickory people. Here's a case:

Hickory, N. C, says: "I was aunoy
ed by my kidneys for quite a while ard
at last I procured a box of Doan's
Kidney PiUa at Moser & iutz's Drug
Store, in order to see if they would
help more than the other preparations
I had tried, I was surprised and de
lighted with the results. My entire
system was toned up and my kidneys
were restored to a normal condition.
One of my children has also used
Doan's Kidney Pills and thinks as
highly of them as I do.''

Letton Vlll.—First Quarter, For
Feb. 25, 1912.
THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.
Text of the Lesson, Matt, iv, 1-11 j
Mark i, 9*ll—Memory Verses, Matt,
iv, 3, 4—Golden Text, Heb. ii, 18.
Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M.
Stearns.
The record of the baptism is found in
Matthew, Mark and Luke, but most
fuiiy in Matthew. In Luke ill. 23, we
read that Jesus begun to be about thir
ty years of ape. and we caunot but
wonder at the lowly and submissive
life of aH those thirty years at Naza
reth. How can we ever murmur at
limitations and humiliations in our
Uvea as we think of this life lived for
UH? He came from Nazareth, where
He had been brought up (Luke iv, 10).
and after His return to heaven He
called Himself "Jesus of Nazareth"
(Acta xxii. 8). yet Nathnnael said. "Can
there any good thing come out of Naz
areth?" afterward acknowledging that
out of Nazareth came "the Son of God.
the King of Israel" (John i, 46 v 49).
He came to Jordan, river of Judgment,
yet there was nothing in Him to be
judged. Others were baptized of John
confessing their sins, but He bad no
sins to confess. We do not wonder
that John said to Him. "I have need
to be baptized of Thee, and comest
Thou to me?" But our Lord's "Suffe
it to be so now" has helped many »■
humble follower to submit to seemlnK
ly unnecessary things that the right
eousness of God might be seen in the:,
nnd others won to Him. This and
that other saying, "About Mv Father
business." His two first recorded u;
terances. are good for all of us in orr
daily life. A» He came up out of the
water something happened from tb:
skies— the heavens were opened, and
the Father testified. "Thou art My be
ioved Son, in whom I am well pleased '
At the same time the Spirit of God de
scended in bodily shape like a dove
upon Him. The Father had told John
that It would be so, and John bare rec
ord that He was the Son of God (Job
1, 33. 34). The one who sent John a Is*
testified that the one on whom tb>
Spirit would descend and remain wouii
Himself baptize with the Holy Spirit
Then what hinders ns thus to be ban
tlzed? Luke tells us that Jesus wns
praying when the heavens were op£i:
ed. He seems to have prayed alwa.V;
uud about everything and sometime
all night. He fasted too. Is th.it
where we fail? Consider the othei
six places where we rend of the heav
en being opened and always see Him
*elf. Consider well every place where
as here, the Father. Son and Holy
Snirlt are seen or mentioned, as in
Matt, xxvlii. 19; II Cor. xiil. 14:
Heb. ix. 14. See in John xiv, 17. 23.
how the Spirit and the Father and
the Son make the bodies of believers
ihelr abode or mansion and to their
•Whom shall I send, and who will go
.'or us?" Let us gladly answer, "Here
tm 1; send me." remembering Hi*
words. "As My Father hatli sent Me.
«*ven so send I you" (Isa. vi. 8; John
cx, 21).
When Spirit filled we may then ex
,>ect to be specially attacked by tlit
devil. As our representative Be waf
led by the Spirit into the wilderness
to be tempted of the devil. Both Mark
and Luke say that He was forty days
of the devil. Matthew and
Luke say that He fasted forty days
ind forty nights; that He did eat noth
Ing. Thus did Moses on two occasion?
ind Elijah once, and these three we
find on the Mount of Transfiguration,
md we hear them speak of the devil's
nost awful piece of work, the death of
Jesus. He Is the fearful adveisary of
'Jod and man and has been at wcrk
•is such ever since he deceived and
•onquered Adam and Eve, and he wili*
not cease till he shall be shut up in the
;;it for 1.000 years. As the devil tempt
ed Eve on the line of the lust of the
lesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride
>f life (1 John 11. 16) and won the day
he tempted the Lord Jesus, but was
defeated. Eve had everything that
:he Lord saw that she needed, yet she
tte the forbidden fruit. The Lord Je
us. having fasted forty days and be
ng hungry, yet overcame by the
•.ords. "Man shall not live by bread ,
•lone, but by every word of God"
Luke lv. 4). The devil's ambition to
ie as God conquered Eve »Isa. rly. 14:.
ien. iii. 5). but the Lord Jesus con
piered by the words. "Thou shalt nov
empt the Lord thy God." Adam and!
♦Cve had been given dominion over alt
hlngs (Gen. I. 26-28>. but they lost it
iy giving heed to this great enemy,
ud he has ever since been the god of
tills world (II Cor. lv. 4>. The Lof-df
esus, the last Adam, knew thai some
lay He would restore the dominion to
nan. and tin* kingdoms of th's work'-,
ill be His kingdom (Rev. xi, 15). So
[e could say to the great adversary
Get thee hence. Satan." If Is written'
Thou slialt worship the Lord thy God
md Him only shalt thou serve." " Wc
-pad In Luke that "when the devil had
i»nded all the temptation he departed
from Him for a season." and Matthew,-'
and Mark tell us that "angels came
•*nd ministered unto Him." We must
emember that the same great adAer
--jry Is still going about seeking whom,
ne may devour. But with the arniof
.■rovlded for us and by the sword and
fhp blood of the Lamb we. too, may
je overcomers. seeking nothing for ouT
elves. walking humbly with our God
rnd worthy of the kingdom and glory
to which we are called (Eph. vl; Rev.
xii. l.li. If we resist the devil he will
flee from ua. for God is with ufc. .*
