PHYSICIAN EVINCES GREAT
FAITH IN WATER.
Savannah, Ga., June 25, 1912.
Mr. N. F. Shivar,
Shelton, S. C.
Dear Mr. Shivar:?Yours of recent
dale just received, and in reply will say
tuat all I have ever said or wrote of or
about Shivar Spring Water was absolutely
true, and '1 can say in all candor
that yet the half has never been told, for
1 consider it the best mineral springs
water that I have ever known, most
especially for stomach disorders. I
suffered for years with a most aggravating
lorm of that disorder, and consulted
a number of our best local
physicians, went ?o Baltimore and consulted
specialists of the stomach there
and still 1 was not benefited, and had
about dispaired of living when 1 began
to use Shivar Spring Water, and in a
short time was cured. That has been
three or four years ago, and I am still
well. Refer any "Doubting Thomases"
to me and let me tell them of its virtues
aud healing power.
Your offer of furnishing the water and
refunding the money if not satisfactory
is all that any fair minded individual
could ask; and your method of not soliciting
testimonials, I think is one of
your strongest endorsements. Go on
distributing these healing waters that
the Deity's Laboratory is ever preparing,
and you will be doing a great work.
Mrs. W. H. Bedbood, 617 Montgomery
Street, and Mrs. A. R. Waters, 214 Duffy
street, W., have received great benefit
from its use.
With best wishes and kindest regards,
I am, yours very truly,
A. L. R. AVANT, M. D.
If there is any reader of this letter
who suffers with dyspepsia, indigestion
or disease of the liver, kidney or the
bladder. Mr. Shivar makes you this
?ff?r. Deposit $2 with him as a pledge
to return the demijohns, and he will
ship you 10 gallons of the water. If it
fails to benefit you, return the demijohns
and he will refund your money.
If the 10 gallons benefit you It costs
you only $2. If it doesn't benefit you it
costs you nothing. You are to be the
judge. Address N. P. Shivar, Shivar
Spring, Shelton, S. C.

SIX COMPANION PARABLES.
In Matthew, chapter 13, we find, six
companion parables, each representing
the growth and consummation of the
kingdom of heaven. Each one is prophetic
history, spoken by our Lord
Jesus; hence there must be perfect
harmony between them. No one of
them can be contradictory of another.
The several parables are as follows:
Tares, mustard seed, leaven, hid treasures,
goodly pearls, net casfc Into the
sea.
'Looking at these several parables or
histories we find the expected harmony.
Each in turn describes the kingdom as
progressive toward a good1 issue. Here

safely housed, mustard seed developed
into a luxuriant tree, .hidden treasure
found and secured, the pearl of great
price procured, good fish gathered into
vessels, inedible meal converted into
nutritious bread.
It is objected,?that converting meal
into bread cannot represent a good result,
because the change has been effected
by leaven, which is always a
symbol of evil. We can only reply
that an interpretation which sets aside
cue narmony of our Lord's utterances
must be erroneous. 'Let us consider
the obtsructing word. Using the word
ieaven on another occasion, he said,
"Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees
which 1b hypocrisy."
What was the leaven, of the Pharisees?
The moral and ceremonial law
shorn of spiritual significance and divided
into numherlese minute fragments,
these in turn charged with selfrighteousness
and venom, constituted
the creed of the Pharisees.
These minute fragments employed in
pertinacious attacks upon the person
and teachings of Christ Jesus constituted
the religion of the Pharisees of our
Lord's day.
Speaking of them, Jesus, using metaphorical
language, said: "Beware of the
leaven of the Pharisees which is hypocrisy."
'Dropping the metaphsr we have:
"Beware of the religion of the Pharisees?such
religion is hypocrisy. In
this there is no likeness to symbolism.
Read Exodus, chapters 12 and 13:
When Israel was being ejected from
Egypt with cruel ibaste the housewives,
unable to await the process of leaven,
baked and ate unleavened bread as their
only alternative. Those last moments
in Egypt were a period of Intense anxiety
and distress, but God gave them
a glorious deliverance and sent them
safely upon their way to the promised
land. In commemoration of this de
liverance God instituted the passover
feast; and to impress upon them the
remembrance of tbe haste and coincident
trial enjoined the .exclusive use
oif unleaven 'bread during six days of
a seven day feast This was an object
lesson, and to make She lesson more
impressive, God forbade the presence
of leaven In any one of their habitations
during the continuance of the
feast.
Disobedience in this matter was sorely
punished, just as Achan was punished
when found in possession of a wedge
of gold.
All this was object lesson, but not
symbolism. The lesson was to be read
and re-read during seven days of each
successive year. Leaven was excluded
during the continuance of the feast but
no longer. When the feast was concluded
it might be freely UBed and enjoyed.
Thus we see that its mission was
special, and its tenure of office not
Presbyterian DT /

continuous but limited to one occasion.
Without other appointment: it cannot
olaim permanence oif otiice or authority
?such as that of symbolism.
Let us turn to Leviticus 23: 17, and
we will see that leaven is not restricted
to the narrow bounds within which
some would confine it. "And ye shall
offer a new offering unto, the Lord.
Ye shall >bring out of your habitations
two more loaves of two tenth deals;
they shall be of fine flour; they shall
be baken with leaven; they are the
first fruits unto the Lord." Here we
see leaven occupying the place of special
honor. Hay we not be pardoned
for the belief that the parable of the
leaven occupies a similar position; and

A very Anpoomnt mfeeting of the
stockholders of the Mountain Ketreal
Association has just been held. Muou
business was transacted at this meeting,
the most important of which was Che
election of othcere of the Association for
the coming year, The report of Hev. K.
L. Anderson, President of the Association,
and that of Mr. F. Lb Jackson,
Secretary and Treasurer, showed the
work of the Association to be progressing
in a satisfactory manner, and showed
that Montreal Is this year enjoying

lion, i^very hotel and boarding house
is crowded with guests and ohe management
has been compelled to refuse many
requests for entertainment, on account
of lack of room. Every State in the
South is represented at Montreal this
summer, and a number of guests are
here from Northern States, and the
West and Southwest are well represented
also. Several denominations are
represented among the guests, and the
interdenominational fellowship enjoyed
at Montreal Is one of the greatest attractions
of the place.
Mr. Anderson has just closed hds first
year as president of the Association and
during this time lie has travelled much
in this interest and has spoken In this
interest in many parts of the Church.
As a result of tbda work, additional
stock has been taken in the Association,
lots have been sold to individuals for

Interest throughout the territory of the
Southern 'Presbyterian Church In Montreat
as the Summer Assembly of the
Church.
Since the beginning of the Mountain
Retreat Association, Judge J. D. Murphy,
of Asheville, has been one of its
most ardent supporters, and the influence
and -work he has given to its development
have been of great value.
He was President of the Association
until one year ago, -when, on account of
the increase of his legal business, he
resigned that office, and at that time he
was elected vice-president of the association.
During the past Ave years no man has
been so closely Identified with iMdntreat
and with the entire work of the Mountain
Retreat Association, as is true of
Mr. F. L. Jackson, secretary and
treasurer of the association for the past
several years, and who has discharged
toe responsible duties of this office with
such promptness and satisfaction. Mr.
Jackson its a young man. who posses
special gifts as a successful business
man, and these gifts, together with his

pleasing personality, an invaluable asset
In every calling of life, would render
him successful in any business in
which he might engage, tie has given
conscientious care and personal effort to
every detail in the development of Moutrat,
and in the success which Montreat
has attained, that care and effort have
contributed a large part.
.Vlr. Anderson, Judge Murphy and Mr. !
Jackson were re-elected to the respective
otnces they have held the past year. I
flans were discussed and set in motion
at this meeting of the stockholders [
which will aid much 'in the development
of Montreat during the coming year. j
Announcement was made also that a
large number of additional cottages will
be erected at Montreat before the opening
of the season of next year.
The two conferences held here this
week, the one in the Interest of Mill- I
Isterial Education and Relief and the
other m the Interest of Home Missions,
have been among the beet ever held at
.uontreat. The speakers who have been
heard have been men' of marked ability,
and the messages they have presented
In the interest of these two great claims
of the church have been convincing and
helpful. The secretaries in charge of
these conferences, Rev. Henry H. Sweets,
D. D., Rev. S. L>. Morris, D. D., and Rev.
Homer McMillan, D. D., are to be congratulated
upon the speakers heard and
the subjects presented during the week.
There was regret that Rev. J. G. Snedecor,
'D. D., the other Secretary of Home
Missions, was not present.
Already many visitors have arrived to
attend the three conferences to be held
lhA comine week, thnfw Hn th? tn^aKwt nf
the Woman's (Missionary Union, the
Million and a Half Dollar Campaign,
under the direction of the Laymen's
Missionary Movement, and the conference
in the interest of Foreign Missions.
GREAT STRENGTH IN SMALL PACKAGES.
The thought of strength is not usually
associated with insects?unless, perhaps,
as an isolated instance one may
have watched a busy little ant staggering
along with a burden twice its size.
Ants will carry loads forty or fifty times
us heavy as themselves, says Harper's
Weekly. The beetle can move a weight
one hundred ana twelve times his own
weight The house fly gives six hundred
strokes of its wings in one second, and
this enables it to go a distance of thirtylive
feet.
Probably the most wonderful ot all is
the dragon fly (It can apeed through
the air at The rate of sixty m.les an
hour, and, more wonderful still can
stop instantaneously in its flight or
move backward or sideways without
changing the position of its body.
Hundreds cf bees can hang one to
another without tearing away the feet
of the upper one.
It has been estimated that if an
elephant were as strong In proportion
to its weight as a male beetle it would
be a'ble to overturn a "skyscraper."
In leaping great distances this
strength is shown in another phase. If
a horse could jump as far in proportion
to Its weight as a flea can to his, the
horse would Jump about two thousand
mles.?Ex.
