Lesson IX.— Third Quarter, For
Sept. 1, 1912.
THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.
Taxt of th« Lesson, Mark vi, 14-29.
Memory Versos, 27, 28—Golden Text,
Rev. ii, 10 (R. V.) —Commentary Pre
pared by rtov. D. M. Stearns.
This lesson is a look backward to
the murder of John the Baptist and
the cause of it. Tidings of the mighty
works done by Jesus and His follow
ers had reached the ears of King Her
od, aud he was perplexed and thought
that John must be risen from the
dead. Others said, "It Is Elijah," and
still others said. "It is one of the old
prophets risen again." Herod said.
"John have I beheaded, but who if
this of whom I hear such things?"
(Luke lx. 7-9.) It Is said that he de
sired to see Him, and when Just be
fore His crucifixion Pilate sent Him
to Herod, who was in Jerusalem at
that time, it is written that he was
exceedingly glad, for he was desirous
to see Him of a long season, because
he had heard many things o# Him.
and he hoped to have seen some mira
cle done by Him (Luke xxiii. 8). Her
od's (j nest ion. "Who Is this?" is one
of the greatest of all questions. We
find it in Jer. xxx. 21. in connection
with His becoming surety for His peo
ple: In Isa. Ixiii, I; in connection with
His coming in judgment; in Luke v.
21. in connection with His forgiving
sins, and In Luke vii, 49. also; in
Matt, xxl, 10. as He entered Jerusalem
on the ass' colt. Blessed Indeed are
all who know Him, not only as Israel's
Messiah and the great head of the
church, aud the King of kings and
Lord of lords, but as their owu per
sonal Saviour, who became surety for
them, bore their sins in His own body
and has assured them of the forgive
ness of their sins. Apart from this
personal knowledge of Him as the one
who loved me and gave Himself for
me (Gal. ii. 20). all else is as nothing.
The record goes on to tell us why
Herod had killed John. He had taken
Herodias. his brother Philip's wife, to
be his wife, and John had toid him
that it was not lawful to do this
Therefore Herodias had an inward
; grudge against John and would have
killed him if she could (verse 19. mar
gin). But Herod, knowing John to be
i a Just and holy man, heard him glad
ly and did many things and kept and
saved him (verse 20, margin). Thus
things went on, nerod knowing and
admiring the right, yet doing the
wrong, and Herodias a sort of Jezebel
to help him In the wrong, and the
devil controlling all. What a picture
of real life It is, for the devil is still
the god of this world, and the world
lleth In the wicked one!
Now we have an account of one of
the devil's supreme occasions—Her
od's birthday and a supper for hip
lords, high captains and chief estates
of Galilee. It must have been a great
gathering of the notable people of the
land, to which multitudes would con
sider it an honor to be invited—a kind
of Belshazzar's feast on a smaller
scale, but with the same spirit of Im
piety and disregard of God. Oh. how
much there is of It today and even
among those who are called Chris
tians! But the world Is ever the same,
whether the ungodly or the religious
world, and "all that is In the world,
the lust of the flesh and the lust of
the eyes and the pride of life, is not
of the Father, but is of the world."
•'The friendship of the world Is enmity
with God" (I John 11, 15-17; Jas. Iv. 4).
There would no doubt be royal wine
In abnndance. according to the state
of the king, and the eating and drink
Ing would be according to every man's
pleasure (Est i, 7, 8). There was
some special dancing also, and the
daughter of Herodias danced so well
that the king said unto her with an
oath, "Whatsoever thou shalt ask of
me I will give it thee unto the half of
my kingdom" (verses 22, 23). Being
Instructed by her mother, she asked
for the head of John the Baptist In
a charger. The king's order must be
obeyed, and immediately the execu
tioner does his awful work, and the
grudge of the wicked Herodias is
gratified as she obtains possession of
the head of him she so hated for dar
ing to rebuke her sin. Naboth's
death at the hands of Jezebel or by
ner command was somewhat on the
aame line of things, as far as the
death of the Innocent and unoffending
to please the wicked was concerned.
But the great murderer has been at
work ever since he caused the death
of Abel, and he is not through yet
Those who are willing to do his work
cannot complain if some time they
*tmre his doom in the lake of Are pre
pared for the devil and his angels. It
was a wretched birthday for Hercd.
and we saw at the beginning of our
lesson that he could not forget his
part in the murder of John. He has
not forgotten It yet. for we conclude
from Luke xvi. 25. that memory plays
a very important part In the torment
of the lost. Although it seemed hard
for John to be thus taken off the
earth. It was In reality a good day for
him, for he had the gain, the very far
better of Phil. 1. 21, 23. and he has
been well and happy ever since, and
the glory of the kingdom still awaits
him. His disciples burled his body,
but John was not at the burial. It
has long been a comfort to me to con
sider that if the Lord does not come
while 1 live and this mortal body stall
some day be burled 1 will not be at
the funeral, bnt absent from the body,
present with the Lord.
The American People.
The National Disease is nervous
prostration. What is to be the lesult of
all this hurry, worry and work, some
times over—sometimes under-eating,
always under-sleeping— brain and
brawn in constant state of agitation and
unrest —sleeping badly, dreaming,
tossing, waking? Dr. King has de
vised a remedy if used aright. King's
Iron Tonic Bitters steadies the nerves,
builds up the waste, gives new start.

Guard Your Children
Against Bowel Trouble
Many children at an early age
become constipated, and frequently
seriobs consequences result. Not
being able to realize his own con
dition, a child's bowels should be
constantly watched, and a gentle
laxative given when necessary.
Dr. Miles' Laxative Tablets are
especially well adapted to women
and children. The Sisters of
Christian Charity, 531 Charles St.,
Luzerne, Pa., who attend many
cases of sickness say of them:
"Some time Ago we began using Dr.
Miles' Laxative Tablets and find that
we like them very much. Their action
is excellent and we are grateful for
having been made acquainted with
them. We ha\ e had good results in
every ease and the Sisters are very
much pleased."
The form and flavor of any medi
cine is very important, no matter
who is to take it. The taste and
appearance are especially important
when children are concerned. All
parents know how hard it is to give
the average child "medicine," even
though the taste is partially dis
guised. In using Dr. Miles' Lax
ative Tablets, however, this diffi
culty is overcome. The shape of
the tablets, their appearance and
candy-like ta.;te at once appeal to
any child, with the result that they
are taken without objection.
The rich chocolate flavor and
-absence of other taste, make Dr.
Miles' Laxative Tablets the ideal
remedy for children.
If the first box fails to benefit,
the price is returned. Ask your
druggist. A box of 25 doses costs
only 25 cents. Never sold in bulk.
