VENICE A CITY OF DREAMS
Many Charma for tha Tourlat In
Thia Picturesque City
of Italy.
To the wanderer in Italy, Venice
has a peculiar attraction. Arrive there
at sunset, or, better atlll, by moonlight,
and you will fancy yourself trans
planted to some city of dreams. With
dayllgkt thia feeling may wear off to
some extent, although there Is never,
at any time, aa much bustle and stir
In Venice aa In other towns. Morning,
noon or night, Venice has a fascina
tion all her own. This la partly due
to the fact that she la a city built on
tha water.
To explore Venice and to become In
timately acquainted with her, a gon
dola is not a necessity, rather It la a
luxury for aunset evenings and moon
light nlghta. It ia a delightful ex
perience, and not a difficult one, to 1
find one's way about Venice on foot;
quaint, old world cornera are discov
ered, blta of ancient architecture,
carved doorwaya and little bridges,
with a feast of color here, there and
everywhere. Apart from all th«
beauty of scenery, there Is the en
thralling Interest evoked by her his
tory and traditions.
Among the traditions we read that
St. Theodore was the first patron !
saint of Venice, to be superseded later |
on by St. Mark. The wanderer in '
Venice becomes familiar with th |
Lion of St. Mark. More prominently
than anywhere Is It to be seen on ont
of the columns on the Plazzetta '
whilst on the other Is St. Theodore j
These columns of beautiful red and j
gray granite are supposed to hav« 1
come originally from Syria. They j
were erected by a Lombard engineer
—Christian Endeavor Monitor.
BABY'S ECZEMA AND BOILS
"My son was about three weeks old
when I noticed a breaklng-out on hla
cheeks, from which a watery aub
stance oozed. A short time after, his
arma, shoulders and breast broke out !
also, and in a few days became a solid |
scab. I became alarmed, and called
our family physician who at once pro- |
nounced the disease eczema. Tha lit
tle fellow was under treatment for j
about three months. By the end of
that time, he seemed no better. I be
came discouraged. I dropped the doo
tor'a treatment, and commenced tha
use of Cuticura Soap and Ointment,
and In a few days noticed a marked
change. Tha eruption on his cheeks
was almost healed, and his shoulders,
arms and breast were decidedly bet
ter. When ha was about seven months
old, all traca of the eczema was gone.
"During hla teething period, hla
head and face were broken out In !
boils which I cured with Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. Surely he must
have been a great sufferer. During !
the tlme.of teething and from the time i
I dropped the doctor's treatment, I j
used the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura
Ointment, nothing else, and when two
years old he was the picture of health. I
His complexion was soft and beauti
ful, and his head a mass Of silky curia. j
I had been afraid that he would never I
be well, and I feel that I owe a great
deal to the Cutjcura Remedies."
(Signed) Mrs. Mary W. Ramsey, 224

Sept. 24, 1910. Although Cuticura
Soap and Ointment are sold by drug
gists and dealers everywhere, a sam
ple of each, with 32-page book, will be
mailed free on application to "Cuti
cura," Dept. L, Boston.

SUNMTSOM
LESSON
(By E. O. SELLERS, Director of Bm>
Ing Department, The Moody Bible In
stitute of Chicago.)
FOR JU NE~2~
HYPOCRIBY AND SINCERITY.
GOLDEN TEXT—"Take heed that you
do not your rlghteouaneaa before men, to
be Been of them; else ye have no reward
with your Father which la In Heaven."—
Matt «:L
Someone has called attention to the
"buts" of God as recorded In the
Scriptures, showing that they always
lead to something good and contraata
them with those of men that are always
the Introduction to some derogatory re*
mark. In something resembling thla
the words of Jeeus, "Take heed," are
tremendous with Import.
Doing was the greatest thing In the
Jewish religion that Jesus came to set
| aside when he eatabllahed his new
| kingdom. It la easy for a man to try
j to do for himself In order to merit
Ood'e favor. It Is hard to let Ood do
i for na and we to accept Ma finished
j work.
In this lesson there 1» one inclu
sive word and three Ulustrallona. Thla
word la the word "righteousness" sub-
I stltuted In the Revised Version for
J the word "alms" In verse one. The
three hues of application or illustra
tions used are, first, that we shall
make our righteousness secure by so
doing our alms aa not to be seen of
men; second, that In the saying of
! our prayers w« shall not, like the
hyprocritee, desire to be seen of men,
and third, that In the keeping of our
fasts and our vigils we do them, not,
as do hyprocritee, that the multitude*
may observe and comment thereon.
In another lesson upon this manl-
I festo of Jesus we studied the subject
| of the law and In It he summarised it
all by telling ua that except our rlghte
ousness shall exceed the rlghteouaness
| of these Scribes and Pharisees, whom
{ John the Baptist designated as a gen-
I eratlon of vlpera—hypocrites, we ahall
In no wlae enter Into this new kingdom
which Jesus came to establish.
Righteousness He Demands.
In the lesson Jetfus shows ua the
difference between their rlghteoua
ness and the righteousness which he
is demanding of the eubject of his
kingdom. He demands that our righte*
onsneaa ahall seek It* approval not
; from nor among men but of God. The
| motive which must govern ia the
j glory, not of man but of 6od, not
man'a approval but the approval of
! God. In verse two tie word "alms"
la retained and hence the flrat lllus
( tratlon has to do with our "doing of
I alms" i. e., our relations to men about
ns, our right-neaa. The doing of alms
| has no fundamental connection with
' any question of honesty between man
j and man. The doing of alms accord
ing to the strict lnterpietatlon of civil
| law la no part of duty. There Is no
| reason why the buslnsss man ehould
give away his earnings provided he is
Just In his dealings abd does not de
fraud in hla transactions. Yet we do
aee men making great, gifta and bene
factlona to the cause ««f philanthropy.
Why T Jesus lays bitre the aecret
when be says, "that they may have
the glory of men."
Next Jesus takes up the subject of
prayer. Again our attuntlon Is drawn
to the fact that the exorcise of prayer
haa but little to do with our relations
to men. True it Is these relations
muat be right befoi*e we can come to
God acceptably but prKyer is to be di
rected to God and not to man. Apart
from our belief In God, why should we
pray? Commercial or other inter-rela
t ion ships do not require prayer, why
then prayT The keen blade of Jesus'
logic again reveala tho innermost se
cret, "that they may be seen of men,"
and euch an idea of r.'ghteousness is
repugnant in the kingdom of Jesus.
We now come to the third illustra
tion, the keeping of fasts. Pasting
does not and never has appealed to
the natural man. Naturally It la re
pugnant and dlatasteful and yet we
aee men making a show of fasting and
imposing a like burden upon others,
why? "That they may be aeen of
men." Is there, then, no place for,
nor ministry in fastini? Certainly
there ia. True fasting however, con
sista in foregoing and abstaining for
the "glory of God."
God the Final .ludge.
It Is a sad fact that much of our len
ten faatlng and of our Abstemiousness
upon Fridays Is that it shall be seen
of men and not because of any real ap
preciation of the underlying need or
sense of the principles of faatlng.
Thla leason is a great warning that if
we condition our righteousness upon
the approval of man It will have no re
ward whatever of God. The ostentar
tioua or unctioua display of phil
anthropy will receive its reward from
men and weighs naught
Followed through thla lesson applies
to all the walks of life. For Illustra
tion, to adulterate food for gain and
yet appear active In church for the
upbuilding of a reputation. This false
ness is the sin that lies back of graft
and corruption and that allows Amer
ica to bare "the worst governed cities
In the world."
It la quite notlcable that there Is
not a single personal pronoun in thla
model prayer. It begins with God,
leads us through his dealings with
man and back once more to him to
whom all glory belongs.

DOCTORS ADVISED
THE HOSPITAL
■
Mrs. Herberger, Who Would Not
Consent to Go There, Finally
Relieved At Home.
St Louis, Mo.—Mrs. Mary Herber
ger, of this city, says: "I was sick in
bed for ten weeks, wl£h womanly
troubles, and had four of the best
doctors waiting on me.
Every one of them Bald I would
have to go to the hospital and have
in operation, but I would not consent
lo that.
I thought I would give Cardul a
trial. When I began to take the first
bottle, I could not turn over in bed,
but had to be lifted.
Before I finished the first bottle, my
pains were leaving me, slowly, and
toon I was out of bed and walking
ground.
My pains have not come back,
ilnce. I weigh 15Q lbs. and feel fine.
Cardul saved me from an operation.
( am going to keep it in the house,
for I would not be without It."
Cardui's strengthening effects quick
ly show themselves In many different
ways. This is because the ingredi
ents, from which It Is made, go to
the source of the trouble, and by act
ing specifically on the cause, relieve
or cure and help bring back health
and strength.
In the past 60 years, more than a
million women have been benefited
1 by Cardul. Just try It.
