IRS. THOMSON TELLS WOMEN How She Was Helped During Change of Life by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Philadelphia, Pa. "I am just 52years of age and during Change of Life I suf - eral doctors but none seemed to give me any relief. Every month the pains were intense in both sides, and made me so weak that I had to go to bed. At last. a friend recommen ded Lydia E. Pink- 1 ham's Vegetable Compound to me and I tried it at once, end found much relief. After that I had no pains at all and could do my housework and shopping the same as always. For years I have praised Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound for what it has done for me, and shall always recommend it as a wo man's friend. You are at liberty to use my letter in any way." Mrs. Thomson, 649 W. Russell St, Philadelphia, Pa Change of life is one of the most critical periods of a woman's existence.

LESSON FOR NOVEMBER 1 ARREST AND TRIAL OF JESUS. LESSON TEXT Matt. 26:57-68. Include also, vv. 47-66. GOLDEN TEXT As a lamo ia led to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is dumb, so he opened not his mouth. Isa. E5:7 R. V, The golden text selected for this lesson is apt to convey tv is a wrong idea of the closing days ot our Lord's life. Jesus did not die as a sheep in the shambles. His was not the death of one slaughtered in weakness. He was "led," that is true; he was "slaughtered" but not until his hour had arrived and he permitted it to be so. His death was a victory, not a defeat. , In Gethsemane Jesus made his final dedication of himself to his victorious work of redemption. I. The Betraying Judas, vv. 47 50. In this hour of consecration Judas enters, guiding the mob into the sa cred precincts of our Lord's retreat. It has been suggested that perhaps this act of betrayal was in order to precipitate' the Messianic claims of Jesus and compel him to assume an earthly triumph. If so, was not the motive of Judas a selfish one, that he might profit thereby? The baseness of his unholy compact is soon to be revealed to Judas and to the world. The kiss of Judas delivered Jesus into the hands of lawless men according to the determinate counsel and fore knowledge of God, Acts 2:23. This furnishes us the background, the at mosphere, in which to consider this, the first of . his several trials. sWickednes3 of Judas. II. The Blundering Peter, vv. 51-58. (1) Peter and the sword, vv. 51-55. Peter had knowledge and zeal, but used his zeal not according to knowl edge. Jesus had warned him, only to receive the assurance that he was mistaken. The words of Jesus here recorded are a calm assurance of the fact that these events are not being controlled by man but by God. The wickedness of Judas is being worked out in the plan of redemption. If fighting were the program, what would Peter's puny sword amount to? For the asking Jesus could command 12 legions of angels, yet even such a force could not be used in human re demption. One man, the God-man, must die, Rom. 5:15. Notice the Mas ter's acceptance of the Scriptures, v. 54. If by the sword he were to es cape, how could these be fulfilled? Matthew adds (v. 55) that all of this "come to pass" that the words of the prophets be fulfilled. (2) Peter and the maid, vv. 56-58. That Peter should follow "afar" or at all, Is evidence of his affection for Jesus and of his de termination to see the end. There was perhaps an element of pride also in his going, for the others had "for sook him and fled." They seem to have realized that his enemies would now surely destroy Jesus and further that h? was determined not to accept an deliverance. III. The Biased, Brutal Judges, vv. 59-68. This is one of earth's most irregular and illegal trials. The priests and the council had one single determination, which was to find Jesus guilty. They did not seek to discover the truth, but rather to car ry out the sentence of death previ ously determined upon. False Testimony. A careful reading ' of what Christ really did say and what these wit nesses swore that he said, reveals the falseness of their testimony, v. 61, see also John 2:9. "I am able to de stroy the temple of God, and to rebuild it In three days'' were not" his words. What he did say was, "Destroy this temple and I will raise it up." He spoke these words of himself about those who should destroy him his body and claimed the power to raise that body again within three days. At this point the high priest did another illegal thing in administering the legal oath, "I adjure thee" (v. 63). Not alone .was the time and place of this trial illegal, but so was this act on the part of the high priest. But, that all might once more know the truth, Jesus replied "Thou hast said" and adds, "Henceforth ye shall see the son of man sitting at the right, hand of power and coming on the clouds of heaven" (v. 64). This "addi tion augmented the high priest's an ger and gave him argument for the definite accusation of blasphemy, and upon this charge he makes his appeal to the council. They readily voted a verdict of guilty (v. 66). Once de clared guilty Jesus is heaped with the basest of Indignities (vv. 67, 68). Judas with his baseness and treach ery; Peter and his blundering devo tion; the disciples and their blind fear as they fled away; and at the end of it all, this revelation of the supreme depravity of the rulers: what an ap palling combination, see Isa, 5:7. With all of this dark background there is, however, an evidence of the grace of God. Jesus voluntarily and with determination, submission and patience, endured these indignities for us and with calmness and strength pursued his onward way to Calvary and on through thegrave to his vic tory over sin and death. CORRESPONDENT WITH GERMAN ARMY WALKS AMID BULLETS IN BATTLE By Jacques Obela. Correspondent of the , Chicago Dally News. Antwerp, Belgium. I have Just reached Antwerp after an absence of 20 days, 17 of which I passed as a pris oner in the hands of the German" in Brussels. I find scattered patches of this city either knocked down by shells or burned, but It is impossible at the moment to estimate the damage. The town is dead, the total Belgian popula tion amounting only to about five hun dred. However, refugees are return ing slowly, the trains which are bring ing them arriving intermittently from HoP"d. The Germans are running a service of motor cars from Brussels to Antwerp and I came here on one of these cars. Sjees Malines Bombardment. My experiences elnce leaving Ghent include, besides Imprisonment, walk ing with half a dozen other civilians before a column of German infantry advancing against the Belgians in the streets of Malines, while the bullets whistled about us and while shells from the kaiser's heavy artillery screamed overhead and boomed against Fort Waelhem. I was an eye witness of the bombardment of Ma lines, the details of which I will give as my story progresses. On riding out from -Antwerp on a bicycle 20 days ago as the battle on the plain was beginning I heard the heaviest firing in the direction of Ma lines. I asked a responsible (Belgian commander if it would be safe for me to go to Malines. "Yes," said he, "for we shall hold the town at least until tonight." Runs Into German Army. Thereupon I rode rapidlyj toward Malines, around which thundered heavy guns. . Entering the town with the full assurance that it was held by Belgians, I suddenly found myself face to face with a column of German in fantry keeping close to one side of a street on the other side of which shell fire was bringing down quantities of brick and stone. This shell fire pro ceeded from the Belgian guns at Fort Waelhem. At the other end of the town I saw the last of the regiments of Belgian infantry backing stubborn ly out of the bullet-swept streets. Rides on His Wheel to Front. But I must return to the beginning of my story. Every day, beginning with September 11, I rode on my bi cycle from Antwerp to the fighting front, which extended in a wide semi circle well beyond the outer ring of forts. On the 11th, 12th and 13th the Belgians fought a series of battles so determined and brilliant that the Ger mans are still talking admiringly of them. Then they were driven within the outer forts and the Germans be gan immediately to prepare positions for their great guns by leveling the ground and building concrete plat forms. Saturday, September 26, the Belgians made a desperate sortie for the purpose of blowing up the German intrenchments and concrete emplace ments. They persisted in this attempt all day Saturday and Saturday night, but early Sunday morning I found them in full retreat. I reached the foremost trenches, where the final stand was made prior to the return within the forts. The Belgians had fallen back from Buggenhout and were making their stand along the high road to Ma lines and Termonde. Their trenches were hastily dug and manned and ma chine guns were hurried into position. The Germans hidden in the wood opened a heavy rifle fire and this was so hot that the. Belgians launched a cavalry movement to clear the wood. Sees Marvelous Marksmanship. When the cavalry had covered about half the distance I witnessed a marvel ous feat of marksmanship by the Ger mans. Their artillery was in position about two and a quarter miles behind their advance troops. The Belgian charge having been signaled, the Ger man artillerists fired one shell, which dropped in the very midst of the Bel gian horsemen, killing and wounding many and sending the others into headlong flight for shelter. Afterward the Germans came quickly upon us with their bayonets, charging reck lessly through our rifle fire. So many were there that we were forced to flee for our lives. Witnesses Artillery Duel. The next day, Monday, September 28, I went to Wildebroek. An artillery duel raged along the whole length of the line and the incessant scream of the shells deafened one and made one's head ache. Pushing on to Malines, I fell into the hands of the Germans, as previous ly told. They ordered me to take my place with other civilians at the head of a column of Infantry. I pointed to the American flag about my arm with letters in gilt "It is no use," said the officer in command. I took my place in front of the sol diers and advanced at the word of GERMAN OFFICER POSES AS BRITON; SAVES LIFE Berlin. There has been given out here a story relating how Count Schwerin, a German officer, who speaks English fluently, was success ful In obtaining information from the enemy which resulted in the winning of a battle by the Germans. While reconnoitertng beyond the French lines Count Schwerin was dls covered by a French officer. He told command. The Belgian soldiers were about three hundred yards ahead, backing out of town, as I said, and firing as they retired. Relentlessly pressed, the Belgians moved out of town, crossed the bridge over the River Dyle and marched about eight hundred yards down the river, Where they hastily took a posi tion. Hides on a Prison Porch. I saw several fires started by Bel gian shells and I passed the famous cathedral of St. Rombold, which had been badly damaged. We crossed sev eral bridges, the Belgians, firing on us at right angles from down the river. On the bridge the Germans advanced as fast as they could run, making us keep ahead of them. On the last bridge I crossed I found myself alone with a German officer. He inspected my flag, heard my story and told me to take refuge in the porch of the prison, which stood close by, and wait until the general came up. Whole columns kept on coming, all crossing the bridge at a run in groups of 20. After them came light naval guns drawn by marines. The general staff followed soon after and also took shelter behind the prison. A'pparent ly, the Belgian artillery had been warned of this fact, for their shells be gan to burst near the prison'. Several wounded soldiers were brought into the office and I marveled at their fortitude. I also was surprised to see' the Ger man officers expose themselves with absolute disregard of their lives. Dur ing all the street fighting they were al ways among their men, commanding them to take shelter near the walls or behind projecting corners. I saw the soldiers doing this while the officers themselves were walking right in the middle of the road. The officer with whom I crossed the last bridge chat ted with me, utterly indifferent to the fact that bullets were flying about us and flattening themselves against the iron work of the bridge. Given Staff Officer Guard. I interviewed Admiral von Schroe der, commanding the marine division. He was a hearty old sea dog, smoking a short German pipe and dressed like a yachtsman. He told me that I might return to Antwerp and tell the Bel gians there that he would be with them in a couple of weeks. "You also may wire London," said the admiral, "that I will be there in a couple of months." As I had had enough of marching toward Antwerp at the head of an attacking column, I begged the admiral to let me go to Brussels. "Granted," said the admiral. "Not only this, but two staff officers will take you in their motor car." They did bo, treating me with the greatest cordiality. The country pre sented a shocking aspect. Every vil lage church and farm building had been burned to the ground, all going down before the tide of fire. The fields were desolate and the inhabitants had fled. As we passed a village called Hopstade I saw four 46-centimeter (18.1-inch) guns being put into posi tion. I knew then that Antwerp as a fortress was doomed. Charged with Bjelng Spy. On my arrival in Brussels the Ger mans' consideration for me came to an end abruptly for the time being. I was sent to the war office building, the upper rooms in which had been converted into a prison. Here I was brought before a judge and subjected to a drastic search and cross-examination. The detectives found some good war maps, with penciled Indications of the position of the German artillery, notes I had taken for myself, and also a camera with undeveloped films of military pictures that I had taken in the course of my journeyings within both the German and the Belgian lines. On this evidence I was charged with being a spy, in spite of the abun dant proof of my position as a corre spondent. The judge bluntly .told me that I might be shot the next morn ing, and this suggestion was promptly made to the commanding general, who summoned me to appear before him. Again I stated my case. Unlike the judge,' the general seemed more anx ious to do justice than to shoot al leged spies. Held Until Antwerp Falls. ' "You have important information about our dispositions before Ant werp," said he. "This information you gained by passing through forbid den territory, and I see that you noted down the position of our heavy ar tillery. You must remain under guard here until Antwerp is in our hands; then you may go free." I cannot say how I rejoiced when the day of my release dawned nor how sorrowful I felt for my fellow prisoners I left behind. As soon as Antwerp fell the Germans set about repairing the roads between that city and Brussels. the Frenchman he was an English officer and asked directions to reach the English lines. The French officer took the count to his mess and the Frenchmen enter tained him at dinner. After dinner the count was given a horse and a Frenca soldier was de tailed to escort him 5ack to the Eng lish lines. Once mounted, C6unt Schwerin made a dash for liberty. A storm of revolver bullets failed to stop him. He regained the German line with military information of value. CALOMEL WHEN BILIOUS? 110! SIOPI ACTS LIKE !
