Foley Kidney Pills build up weakened kidneys, help rid the blood ef acids and poi sons, and relieve bladder troubles. J. H. Kennedy ft Co. - " . i j. -.v-. ... sV -'-- - t-- - JACOB'S FAITH Tenacity of" Purpose a Charac teristic of Thisjioble Scrip tural Character. And he said, I will let thee go." Genesis 22:26. . Jacob displayed in his whole life a wonderful . tenacity of purpose in the hold which be took upon God and righteousness. Whatever else we may find In him to criticize and condemn, there were certain thine to which he clung. And we are wise if we hold fast to the same. . Jacob would not let go the peculiar rights of his birth. He was destined and declared of God before his birth to be a superior to his elder brother. Why we are not told, but the fact was fore told and history verified it afterward It was natural, therefore, thut the par ents should observe those facts In the training of their boys, but not risht or wise to go ahead of pod In manifest ing Nu'ir own preferences. Just as It Is our business today as parents with our children to find out ns far as we enn the way In which God would have them go, the pursuit he would bid them follow, the calling of life In which he can best use them for service to this great world. Jacob would not let go his home. The home Instinct was very strong and sacred with blm. Rachel, the wife of his choice, he will not fall to ob tnln, though It cost him seven yenrs of hard service to do so. The customs of the times permitted polygamy, yet Rachel he always loved the most. It Is to her first born son. Joseph, that the double portion of blesslrlg de scended. Jacob had his own home trouble, hut there was no parting of the home's best interests thereby. God has made the home the great unit of society. If the family life falls to ad here the state will soon go. too. Ja cob would not let go his home. Neither should we allow ours to slip away from u If we would keep society pure at Its fountain head and save the state and extend and strengthen the kingdom of Ood. Jacob would not let go his property. T.nliiin changes his wages ten times. ,Ta co!. dissatisfied with such treatment, determines to quietly withdraw from Ms service and remove with bis family and possessions to another place. TTo would not let go of his property nor sacrifice his skill as a shepherd, but simply go to other pastures as God directs him. So today. I believe that Cud means every man to hold fast to his possessions of money and br:iins and skill and use them to their great est advantage for himself and others, but never by the destruction of bis employer's property. There can be, and there must be, a wiser and safer way than by force of anus to solve these difficulties between man and man In our labor problems and of set tling all International disputes be tween the. great force's of the world than by horrible warfare. Jacob would not let go his country. Tie escaped to Haran because of the wrath of his brother Esau, but he never was at home In that land of Idolatry. He longed for the old land, promised to his fathers, and when op portunity offered he turned his face and footsteps thither. He knew what opposition and bitterness awaited him from Esau, but he faltered not In de sire to return. Finally nnd supremely, Jacob would not let go his God. For 20 years he lived In Haran. where Idolatry was prevalent. Rachel, his best beloved wife, reverenced and, I suppose, wor shiped her father's household gods, for she took them secretly with her on their return to Canaan. But Jacob, so far as we know, never forsook the worship of Jehovah. Jacob would not let go his God, nor should we. He is the greatest asset in life which we have. God bring us all to a fixed deter miration not to let go our God any where nor in anything. Rev. Andrew Hngeman. Ocean Hill Reformed Church. Brooklyn. N. T. - LESSONS FROM BATTLE FRONT Should We Not Do as Much for God as the Millions Who Go to War? Let us learn a lesson from the bloody -battlefield of Europe. Millions of men. at the call of their country, have forsaken business, family, com forts, pleasures and have consecrated their lives fully and wholly to the fniherlnnd. Hundreds of thousands have willingly laid down their lives on the battlefield for their country. Hundreds of thousands are today ly liiir crippled and maimed In the hos pitals, and are willingly enduring un told suffering for their country. Mil lions of men have put through a hard winter and spring In the trenches, and even now are willingly passing through the hell of this awful war for their country. Hundreds of thousands of wives and mothers have given their husbands and sons into the jaws of death for their country. And all this Is counted but the duty of every loyal citizen to his fatherland. Should we not be willing to do M much and more for our Father in heaven, the king of kings, and for our Savior Jesus Christ, who gave his-life for os? Unless we are will ing, can we be accounted faithful sons and daughters of the king and -loyal citizens of his heavenly common wealth? "Who then Is willing-to con secrate his service this day unto the Lord?" The Christian Herald. .X.V.::.' Ready to Preach the Gospel By REV. W. W. KETCHUM Director of th Practical Work Count. Moody Bibl IostkuU. Chicago TEXT 8o as much as In m la I am ready to preach the Gospel to you that ara at Rome also. Rom. 1:15. The Greek term which the word ready translates, does not have In it so much the Idea of preparedness as It does eager ness. It gives ns a picture of the apostle standing as It were on tip toe facing the Im perial city, his countenance ex pressing the pas sion of his heart to preach the Gos pel to the eople of that city. I can imagine as the apotle stands like a hound at , leash, eager to te off, someone tugging at his cloak and raying. "Don't go to Rome, Paul, to preach the Gospel of the cross. They will laugh your story to scorn. Rome, remember, wa tb home of Cicero, and his orations are still studied there, and Seneca Is dis coursing in the streets. Go to them, Paul, with a little sociology, religious pathology and ethical culture, but not with the word .of the cross." And Paul answers back : "I nm not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, for It Is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth, to the Jew first and also to the Greek." There are ieople' today who tell ns that the Gospel of the cross doesn't meet the modern mind. Well, I may know little of the modern mind, but I do know a great deal about the modern heart, and one thing Is this, that it la still "deceitful ubuve ::I1 things and desperately wicked." and, thunk God, I know what can meet Its needs and that is the cross of Christ. The trouble, friends. Is not with our heads but with our hearts; let them be cleansed by the blood of Christ and the modern mind has no difficulty in Understanding the story of the cross. Problems there may be, but the heart that knows the cleansing power of the Mood clings in simple faith to the Cross of Christ. Then there are those who say that the Cross of Christ does not meet the problem 'of today. What problems are there today that were not the prob lems of yesterday? What about the moral corruption of the times? Is It any worse than It was In Paul's day? When the apostle was eager to go to Rome, lecherous, reprobate Nero, who had sunk almost to the nethermost hell, was on the throne. Yet Paul was not desirous of going to Rome with a moral mud scow, but with the Gos pel of Christ He knew what some moderns do not know, that reforma tion follows regeneration, and so be wits eager to preach In that corrupt city the Gospel of the cross. What a lesson to some would-be preachers of today who, not knowing the power of the Gospel to regenerate society, are trying with their puny scoops to cleanse the cesspools of iniquity, when they have at their command the dyna mite of God. We might Just as well try to batter down a fortress with a popgun and toy pistol as to attempt to overcome the forces of evil In the world by any moral reformation which leaves out the cross of Christ But what about a world immersed in pleasure? Will the Gospel reach such a world? As Paul stood facing Rome, mad with pleasure, he said. "I am ready to preach the Gospel to you that are at Rome also." And yet the city was almost altogether given over to pleasure. During the reign of Claudi us, who preceded Nero on the :hrone. the gladiatorial games became almot an insane frenzy and In Nero's time, as we know, it was no better. Paul, however, was eager to go there with the Gospel. It Is a great challenge that the pleasure-loving world lves the preachers of today. How shall they meet It? Shall they. In extrem ity, try something else besides the Gospel, or Is the Gospel still the pow er of God unto salvatian, even unto a pleasure-loving world? One of the saddest sights to behold Is a ministry that has abandoned the Gospel and substituted in the place a sociological shovel and a pathological plaster. If hell ever laughs It laughs at such a substitution, for it knows that make shift: will never meet the world's nee' and defeat helL Come on. preachers, the world chal lenges us, let us meet the challenge with Paul's "I am ready to preach the Gospel." What Gopc-i : Why, the Gospel of the cross, ot course, for there Is none other. And with Paul let ns say. no matter what the world may say, we are not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ. Why not ashamed? '.'Because It is the dynamite of God." That means it has in itself the power to do business for God. No wonder Paul, facing intellectual, corrupt, pleasure-loving Rome. said. "I am ready, I am not ashamed to preach the Gospel to you that are at Rome also." God's Judgment Sure God sees sin: He remembers sin: He hates sin: He cannot be Just with out punishing sin; and he has said that he will punish it. Cooper.

The Gazette has received an appeal fro:;i the Children of America's Fund, at Boston, .Mass.. to help save the livei of the starving children in the var-stricien countries of Europe. A descriptive circular has been post ed in the windows at this office tell ing of the destitute circumstances the inillloiiH of little children nave been placed in as a result of the war. Millions have already starved to death, weakened and exhausted by two icars of underfeeding and ex posure. Millions more will die the sme way this winter if they are not given help.

Certainly If any body had been willing to do your county the great and lasting Injury of Instituting such a contest, no one would deny .that sufficient basis would have been found upon which to lodge such a suit, and yet today by pursuing the wise policy of let ting by-gones be by-gones, you have j a great united county, and you go forward by leaps and bounds, and you win the admiring approval of all your neighbors. Kings Mountain, and all this territory, voted In favor of Cleveland county by far and away j a larger majority in proportion 10 the votes cast than you won your court-house removal election, and we are appealing to you not to stir up the strife and bitterness between our people and your people that would inevitably result from litigation in the courts. You are too great and prosperous to do this sort of tblng. It would bS out of harmony with all of your past history. One of the first essentials of a broad and great peo ple is to know how to lose with good grace.
