About Motherhood dtetft? it. The c-perienco of Motherhood is a trying one to most women and marks distinctly an epoch in their lives. Not .one woman in a hun Mred is prepared or t understands how to jproperly eare for her self. Of course near 1 y every woman now adays has medical treatment at the time cf child-birth, )hut many approach tvciA e HNKiiAM the experience with an orpranism unfitted for the trial of strength, and when the strain is over her system has received a shock from which it j3 hard to recover. Follow ing right upon this comes the nervous strain of caring for the child, and a Jdjs.ti net change in the mother results. TAere is nothing mora charming than, a happy and healthy mother tf chil dren, and indeed child-birth' ider rErht conditions need bo no hazard tohlth or beauty. The unexplainable thing i3 that, with all the evidence of shattered nerves and broken health resulting-, from an unprepared condition, women Will persist in going blindly to the trial. It isn't as though the experience came upon them unawares. They have ample time in which to prepare, but they, for the most part, trust to chance and pay the penalty. In many homes once childless there are now children because of the fact that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound makes women normal, healthy, and strong.

Statistics showing how serious a problem tuberculosis is to the ordi nary church congregation have been issued by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuber culosis. From reports received from over 725 churches, with a membership of over 312,000 communicants of twenty denominations, and from 208 cities and towns in 12 states in vari ous parts of the country, out of nearly 7,000 deaths in 1910, over 700 or 10 per cent., were caused by tuberculosis. This mean3 2.24 deaths for every thou sand members or communicants. T.'hile the percentage of deaths from tuberculosis compared with other dis eases i3 not higher in the churches, according to these figures, than in the country at large, the tuberculosis death rate, as shown by the church returns, is higher per thousand com municants than that for the general population in the registration area of the United States, which the census bureau gave as 1.67 in 1909. A Herford Ben Met. Oliver Herford and a friend were strolling through a section of town that was plentifully strung with pul , ley lines on which many a family "wash" was waving in the wind. Mr. Herford's companion called attention to the manner in which these gar ments shut out the sky and otherwise disfigured the landscape. Mr. Herford gazed at them thoughtfully and then gently murmured: "The short and simple flannels of the poor." A WIDOW'S LUCK Quit the Thing That Was Slowly In juring Her. A woman tells how coffee kept her from insuring he'r life: "I suffered fey many years chiefly from tremble with my heart, with severe nervous' headaches and neu ralgia; but although incapacitated at times for my housework, I did not realize the gravity of my condition till I was rejected for life insurance, be cause, the examining physician said, my heart was so bad he could not pass ma "This distressed me very much, as I was a widow and had a child de pendent upon me. It was to protect her future that I wanted to insure my life. "Fqrtunately for me, I happened to read an advertisement containing a testimonial from a man who had been affected in the same way that I was with heart trouble, and who was bene fited by leaving off coffee and using Postum. I grasped at the hope this held out, and made the change at once. "My health began to improve imme diately. The headaches and neuralgia disappeared, I gained in flesh, and my appetite came back to me. Greatest of all, my heart was strengthened from the beginning, and soon all the distressing symptoms passed away. No more waking up in the night with my heart trying to fly out of my mouth! "Then I again made application for life insurance, and had no trouble In passing the medical examination. "It was seven years ago that I be gan to use Postum and I am using It fctill, and shall continue to do so, as I find it a guarantee of good health." Name given by Postum Company, Bat tle Creek, Mich.

I By HENRY F. COPE TEXT Tl:oti didst well that it was In 'hlna heart. I. Kinps. S:1S. By their motives men are both measured and made. These are the motors, the engines of our humanity. Fortune may offer many allurements md fato may seem to lay many a lash in cur shoulders, but when and how vc shall reach the goal and whether '.hat goal b3 wcrth the race depends jn the character and power of the 'deals and desires within us. Mauy a life lies by the wayside, on :ho junk heap that on superficial ex imination seems to be an admirable piece xf mechanism. It lies there be cause It is just that and no mors, only mechanism, Intricate, adjusted, pol ished, but powerless, valueless for 'ack of a sufficient dynamic force, a power and motion of its own. Efficiency is a pleadid thing, wholly 3esirablo and essential, but life de nands also sufficiency, motive as well is mechanism. Schools and daily ex perience give us the training in effi ciency, but from within must arise the Jynamic forces, the motives, passions, aspirations, and real powers of the personality. The sun cf our motives makes the purposes of our lives and this deter-, mines the course we go, the work we io, the character jve have, and the destiny that is ours. The deepest need ot every life is a passionate purpose hi living, an end and goal that calls ::rth all the possibilities and enlists all the powers. Life's purpose depends on its philosophy; that, is your aim and goal will depend on your interpretation of the meaning of life, on the answer which you make to life's significance. What is the meaning of it all to you? Is it but accident or chance? Then you will drift without purpose. Is is a bloody fisht? Then you will wage war for yourself and against all oth ers. Arc. there yet higher purposes running through all? Then you .will seek them. In a most important sense this an swer which a man makes to the enig ma cf living constitutes his religion and religion becomes the . dominating motive in life. For religion surely for us all, as for all people and in ail time, is our conception of that which, for us, is highest and best, that which, because it seems to us to give mean ing to existence, furnishes the motives for whatever we may be and do in the world. This has been at the root of all high endeavor; this spirit accounts for all great and worthy work the world has seen. Because they have believed that existence has meaning only as it contributes to progress, only as It finds fruitage in larger, nobler being, they have rejoiced to lay down life if need be that the ' race might find larger life. Faith in the future, hope for our fel lows, love of that which is highest and best fuse together and make a suffi cient motive for living and toiling. And life is a tedious business, without such motives. A man becomes merely a part of the bread winning macmne, a slave bound to the wheel, unless-he has some sense of his own life as be ing worth while for the contribution it makes to all life. Youth abounds with high motives normally; the years often blast them with the curse of cynicism. We des poil our own hearts and steal our own happiness whenever we allow the em bittering, experiences of daily living to take from us the faith that it is pos sible to do good, to increase the world's store of joy and strength and hope, and to make our lives worth something to our times. When all has been said and . ail other ways tried we find that the only motives that give perennial satisfac tion and constantly strengthen tho heart are the unselfish ones. One gets weary of gaining, but never of giving. Ambition falters on its wings. But the aspiration to serve, to help, to bless, to cheer, to love never die3 down. You may measure any man's re ligion by the extent to which it acts as a constant motive in his life, whether it gives him a vision of the life that awakens an enthusiasm for living, of a world that is worth liv ing in and dying for and a race that has such promise in Itself as to call for the Investment of all that is worthy la us. In Christ Our Hope. Prayer is not the most effective thing In the Christian's life. Jesus Christ i3 better and more effective than the best prayer ever offered. In him, and not in prayer, lies our whol6 hope. One who dated the beginning of his richest Christian life and experi ence from a time of prayer when he had asked everything and received everything, was reminded of this as he prayed later, in gratitude for his new blessings: "Not because It was an effective prayer, but because thou art an effective Christ, was my prayer so gloriously answered." Those who are called "mighty in prayer" think least about prayer as such, and most about Christ. Yet the more we think about Christ and the better we come to know him, the greater will be the place that we give to prayer In our lives.

PP.OPHETS-Amoa. Hosea, Isaiah, the Zechaiiaii of our lesson. On the murder of King Joash he was succeeded ' by his eldest son, Amasiah, a man of piety and force, who slew the murderers of his father, sparing their sons, and then turned up on the enemies of his country, the Edomitcs south, of the Dead Sea, who had been ravaging southern Judea. He hired thousands of mercenaries from tho Northern Kingdom, to aid him In the war. When a prophet re buked him for thus involving himself with an idolatrous nation he dismiss ed the mercenaries, who, on their way home, plundered the cities of Judah. Arnaziah went on, however, and with his own troops conquered the Edom itcs in the Valley of Salt south of the Bead Sea, and thoroughly sub--dued the cruel nation. He brought home with him some of the Edomitc idols and worshiped them, thus dishonoring Jehovah, who had so signally helped him, in favor of god3 who had proved their own powerlessness! A courageous prophet rebuked him, but we are told what the effect wa3. In his p:ide of success, and perhaps to avenge tho towns which the Israel itish mercenaries had plundered, he sort a boastful message to Joash king of Israel, challenging him to fight. Jo ash promptly accepted the challenge, completely worsted Amaziah, captured Jerusalem, and went away with all th3 treasure of the Temple and royal pal ace, and With many of the citizens as hostages. . Arnaziah continued ' to reign l'cr fifteen years, but his sub jects never were contented, and at last they rose In revolt and murdered him. The son of Amasiah, Uzziah, a lad of sixteen, was chosen by the people. He continued hi3father'3 conquest of the Edomitea by fortifying Eloth, an important city at tho head of the east ern branch cf the Red Sea, thus put ting Judah in a position to renew the rich commerce with India which Solo mon had established. Uriah's was a religious life. He did that which was right in the sight of the Lord. Ho iollowed Amasiah in the better part of hi life, and not in his idolatry. There is no better prep aration for the eyes of the world than to be conscious ever of Cod's eyes upon us. The period of Uzaiah and Jeroboam was the golden age cf Israel. As a result of conquest and cf commercial enterprise the accumulation of wealth was greater than had ever been known before. The rich lived n palaces of hewn stono and of ivory. While the nobles flourished, the poor grew constantly poorer. The peasan' proprietors were crowded out, and all the land came into the hands of a few great nobles. The free-born Israelites sank to the position of serfs. Pros perity has more perils than adversity, and pride is one of them. Dressed, ac cording to Jcsephus, in priestly attire, and perhaps on the celebration of some high national feast, Uzziah presumed lo enter the Holy Place, which it. was death for any but a priest to enter, and to offer incense upon the sacred altar. Uzziah appears to have desired to become supreme pontiff as well as king, and to exercise the came dual functions as the Egyptian Pharaohs were wont to do. He had to disregard the direct command of Jehovah that the priests alone should burn incense on his altar; he had to despise the his tory of his people, to defy the holy name by which he himself was called. Thus a reign of fifty-two years was spoiled in an hour. What terrible punishment came to Uzziah? The Infliction of that most loathsome, Incurable disease, leprosy. Thus Miriam had been punished, and Gehazi. According to Josephus, It was at this very moment that the famous earthquake of Uzziaa's reign occurred. For the rest of his life he lived in a separate house. It was perhaps some place in the country to which the king confined himself. We are not tolci whether he repented of the sla that he had committed; but wa may per haps assume that he did so. The story of Ahaz reinforces the warning that comes to us from the story of Uzziah. The pride of Ahaz was pride of opinion; that of Uzzah was pride in accomplishment. Pride may spriDg from good looks, fine clothes, plenty of money, a keen intel lect, distinguished social position. A boy may be vain of his ball-playing and a girl of her white hands. What ever may be the source of It, pride is always a terrible danger. Pride is Indeed like a leprosy. I makes us hideous to look upon, though all the while we think we are beauti ful. It causes our spiritual body to decay and portions of it to drop off, though all the while we think we are increasing. It isolates us from human companionship, though all the while we think that others are not good enough to associate with us. Oh, lei v.3 be on our guard against this lep rosy-In of Uzziah's! And if we sua pect that we are harboring pride, le' us remember that there is One whe can cure it, and One only.

SCRATCHED TILL BLOOD RAN "When my boy was about three months old his head broke out with a rash which was very itchy and ran a watery fluid. We tried everything we could but he got worse all the time, till it spread to his arms, legs and then to his entire body. He got so bad that ' he camo near dying. The rash would itch so that he 'would scratch till the blood ran, and a thin yellowish stuff would be all over his pillow in the morning. I had to put mittens on his hands to prevent him tearing his skin. He was so weak and run down that he took fainting spells as if he were dying. He was almost a skeleton and his little hands were thin like claws. "He was bad about eight months when we tried Cuticura Remedies. I had not laid him down in his cradle In the daytime for a long while. I washed him with Cuticura Soap and put on one application of Cuticura Ointment and he was so soothed that he could sleep. You don't know how glad I was he felt better. It took one box of Cuticura Ointment and pretty near one cake of Cuticura Soap to cure him. I think our boy would have died but for the Cuticura Remedies and I shall always remain a firm friend of them. There has been no return of the trouble. I shall be glad to have you publish this true state ment of his cure." (Signed) Mrs. M. C. Maitland, Jasper, Ontario, May 27, 1910. Subject to Restrictions.
