The Source of Uric Acid
Eating too much is a common habit that
does a lot of harm. Meat, especially, forms
uric acid and the constant filtering of acid
laden blood weakens the kidneys. Uricacid
causes rheumatic and nervous trouble,
weakens the eyes, forms gravel and leads
to dropsy and Bric;hfs disease. Kidney
weakness gives early warnings, however,
such as backache and urinary disorders
and can be stopped by prompt treatment.

Lesson
(By O. E. SELLERS, Director of Even
ing department Tne Moody Bible Insti
tute of Chicago.)
LESSON FOR JUNE 21
THE GREAT REFUSAL.
LESSON TEXT Mark 10:17-31.
GOLDEN TEXT "Vp rannnt sptvp CinA
anil mammon." Luke 16:13. (Read also
entire verse.)
The story of thiS rich youner ruler
is one out of the ministry of our Lord
that has made an indelible impression
throughout every succeeding genera
tion. This is so because it is so vital,
vibrant and vivid a revelation of our
every-day experience. The lesson nat
urally divides itself into two sections.
Read carefully the parallel accounts;
Matt. 19:16-30 and Luke 18:18-30.
Man of Courage.
!. An Eager Young Man, vv. 17-22.
This man is an arresting figure. Much
may be said in his favor: (1) He was
young (Matt. 19:22); (2) He was in
earnest, "came running" (v. 17); (3)
He was educated, "a lawyer," Luke
18:18; (4) He was rich, Mark 10:22;
(5) He was loved by Jesus, Mark 10:
21. That. he had lived a clean life is
revealed by the answers he made to
Jesus. Moreover he must have been
a man of some courage, belonging as
he did to the ruling class, the Phari
sees, yet he came running into the
presence of Jesus and cast himself at
his feet. We need but to recall that
this class was at this time definitely
hostile to Christ, yet this young man
dared to speak the conviction of his
heart in this public way by calling
Jesus, "good." We feel that he was an
honest seeker after life. His question
reveals the unrest of the human heart.
It matters not what men may possess
of wealth or position, these things do
not bring heart rest. Great moral
courage, noble aspirations and benevo
lence never will save nor fully satisfy
the human soul. Man does not obtain
life by doing, Gal. 2:16. Life is a gift,
Rom. 6:23. We must not misunder
stand the reply of Jesus (v. IS). Jesus
did not deny being good, John 8:46;
14:30; 8:29, but he saw that this
young man was filled with the idea
of his own goodness. To say that Jesus
was good was practically to say he
was God, and this the young man did
not mean. Jesus sought to reveal to
him hi careless use of words. Jesus
undoubtedly here lays claim to deity
and subsequently he said, (v. 21) "fol
low me," i. e., for this man to yield
his life actually to the control of God.
Jesus began where the young man
lived, within the law, the spirit of
which is "do and thou shalt live" but
he quickly revealed to this self-confident
one that though he professed "all
these things have I observed" yet he
was mistaken and tremendously self
deceived. So far as he went he made
a correct interpretation of his own
need but the skilful teacher revealed
to him his one great lack. His life
was not really controlled by God and
at once Jesus created an opportunity
for him to yield himself to a life of
wholehearted service. He touched the
vital spot, for the supreme test in the
way of allowing God to rule was to set
aside the rule of wealth, position, and.
selfishness.
Last week we were taught to "make
friends by means of the mammon of
unrighteousness; that when it shall
fail they may receive you into the eter
nal tabernacles." This Is exactly what
Christ told this young man to do,
"Sell . . . give to the poor." By thus
using he would store up treasure in
heaven. That he could not stand the
test is evident from v. 22. However,
beyond this simple record we can only
speculate. We trust, however, that his
sorrow may have been that which
"worketh repentance," II Cor. 7:10.
This much is certain: Jesus presented
to him his greatest opportunity. Two
paths were opened before him, one
straight and narrow, and one broad
and easy to follow. Which did he
take? His one lack may have beer
fatal.
Perils of Riches.
II. The Master's Exhortation, vv
23-31. As a great teacher and philos
opher Jesus took this occaeion to point
out the perils of riches. Nearly every
man is willing to run the risk. We
have, however, but to look about us
to see illustration after illustration of
the truth of these words. "How hard
ly" increased wealth, decreased piety.
"How hardly" men seek to tone down
this picture, but have no right so to
do. The only safety is found in the
wrords of verse 27, "with God all things
are possible." The most severe test
possible to be given to a man's relig
ious experience is for him to be pros
pered in wealth or position. The rich
young ruler is an evidence of the fact
that such a godless life is a restless
one.
Notwithstanding his possessions, his
refinement, the privileges of his posi
tion and a life so cleanly lived as to
leave no vulgar moral scar, yet he ex
claims: "What shall I do that I may
Inherit eternal life?" It was easier
for the proverbial camel to have en
tered the city gate (or a literal
iieedle's eye as you prefer) than for
this young man to yield to God the
control of his life. Every life Is under
control. A godless life Is a self-controlled
life. As men came to Jesus he
saw perfectly their individual needs;
their peculiar malady.
The disciples were amazed at the
master's words and thought If a rich
man cannot be saved there Is hope
for none. Such is not the' meaning.
This is revealed In the reply to Peter's
question. Men are saved irrespective
of position or of possessions for God
loves them all. Those who turn the
control of their lives over to his keep
ing, those who, no matter what their
condition or position In life, follow
him, leaving all, or bringing all as the
case may be, will have their reward
here In this life and In the world to
come, eternal life.

Shift Your Gears!
If I were going to attempt a sermon

text should be upon the theme: Shift

picture of a motor-car and a long hill.
You size up the hill from the bottom
and attempt it on the high gear. The
grade proves to be steeper than at
first thought. The engines begin to
pound. But you have vowed to make
the top on the high gear. By simply
shifting over, with whatever reluc
tance, all would be well. Instead, you
let the engine fret and throb, perhaps

EYE STRAIN
Relieved by Quitting Coffee.
Many cases of defective vision are
caused by the habitual use of coffee.
It is said that in Arabia where cof
fee is used in large quantities, many
lose their eyesight at about fifty. Tea
contains the same drug, caffeine, as
coffee.
A N. J. woman writes to the point
concerning eye trouble and coffee.
She says:
"My son was for years troubled with
hl3 eyes. He tried several kinds of
glasses without relief. The optician
Baid there was a defect in his eyes
which was hard to reach.
"He used to drink coffee, as we all
did, and finally quit it and began to
use Postum. That was three years
ago and he has not had to wear
glasses and has had no trouble with
his eyes since.
"I was always fond of tea and coffee
and finally became so nervous I could
hardly sit still long enough to eat a
meal. My heart was in such a con
dition I thought I might die at any
time.
"Medicine did not give me relief
and I was almost desperate. It was
about this time we decided to quit cof
fee and use Postum, and have used it
ever since. I am in perfect health.
No trouble now with my heart and
.never felt better In my life.

to us all, particularly to my son and
