LaGrippe
Weakness
“After a spell of La Grippe I was
so weak and exhausted I could
hardly stand. I began taking Dr.
Miles’ Nervine and was soon better
in every way.”
MRS. F. J. NORTON, Freeville, N. Y.
La Grippe seems to wrench every
particle of vitality from its unfortu
nate victims. That’s where the
principal danger lies; because it
leaves the system in a weakened
condition which invites more serious
diseases. During convalescence
Dr. Miles’ Nervine
should be taken to restore nervous
energy, and overcome this weaken
ing influence which is the most
serious effect of La Grippe.
The first bottle will benefit; If not,
your druggist will return your money.

Number 1098. AN OLD AND WELL TRIED
why I say that this is the one supreme
essential fact for us to grasp. First,
for our encouragement. Sometimes
when we look into the pages of relig
ous history we get discouraged. We
find the historian’s account of the
progress of the world is the account
of the pessimist; unfavorable; the his
torian writing concerning the present
situation of the world draw* a gloomy
picture of the race; it is bound to be
that way because he does deal with
facts and the facts are against us.
Oh, we have more education, more
schools, more colleges, more church
es; we have more eleomosynary insti
tutions and the like, but that isn’t re
ligion. The historian records the facts
as he sees them and from the stand
point of pure and undefiled religion
we are making little progress. The
poet, who deals with the realm of sen
timent, gives us an optimistic view
of the situation. He presents us with
the progress of the age. The question
is as to whether we shall follow the
historian or the poet; the man who
deals with facts or the man who deals
with fancies. He is the man who
keeps before us that bright, shining
optimistic picture of the progress of
our civlization. The man who deals
with the stern facts, however, is the
man who keeps before us the gloom
iest picture of the world’s sin and mis
ery, and we are disposed to get dis
couraged as we think of this; hut if
we keep before us the fact that Jesus
is the reigning Lord, that He is tol
erating these now as He tolerated
them in the past, for a purpose which
is afterwards to be revealed, when
actively He as the Lord of Glory
seizes the reins of the world’s gov
ernment and holds them in His hands,
then we find encouragement, and only
then.
But there is another reason for say
ing that and that is for our own direc
tion. To whom shall we go in the
times of perplexity, in our realization
of our lack of wisdom, in the days of
the shortness of our vision about
truth, to whom shall we go if we de
sire to know what we are to do and
what we are not to do in this world?
Every thinking man certainly is face
to face with that problem. To whom
shall we go? Shall we go to one an
other? Shall we go to our preacher?
Shall we go to a priest? It is well to
hold counsel with one another, cer
tainly to all who are friendly disposed
and people who are capable of giving
us judgment. But to whom shall we
go for absolute assurance? To the
Lord of Glory and the reigning King
of the earth.
THE INFALLIBLE ADVISER.
Some one says to me, Shall I go to
the theatre? Shall I dance? I am
being constantly sought by people
asking what they shall do and not do
and I used to be so silly as to attempt
to lay hard down by them what I
thought they ought to do. I will go
this far now, and no further. I will
say what I think I ought to do as a
Christian about this and that; and I
am determined by the help of God
more and more as the days come and
go, and I have to deal with people
about these matters, to turn them over
absolutely to the teaching of the King
of Glory. He is the Infallible One. He
is the One that can give advice, and
is the one, thank God, who is ever will
ing to impart His wisdom and knowl
edge concerning every single detail of
our life. It Is not what I think; or
what the church thinks, or what the
council thinks, it is what He thinks,
and I tell you the quicker the world
does acknowledge this relation to its
The Golden Age for February 24, 1910.
Prayer of Thanksgiving
(Continued from Tage Tivo)
King the better will it be for the
church and the more rapid will be the
progress of His kingdom. Oh, that
the day would come when men and
women in Christian life and service
would go far enough on the road so
that they could live without resolu
tions passed by the church, when they
could live in perpetual consciousness
of the Lordship of Jesus, and of His
willingness to teach and of their abil
ity to penetrate His throne of wisdom
and get from Him instructions for life.
There isn’t a man, woman-or child in
this building that can not go straight
to Jesus without preacher, priest, or
intermediary, save the Holy Ghost,
and learn from His first hand what is
your duty in life. This old idea of
having to go through some individual
whom you regard as a saint on earth
is a relic of Judaism.
Lastly, there is the principle set
forth in this prayer that if we would
know the Father we must know the
Son, for “no one knoweth the Father
save the Son,” and “no one knoweth
the Son save the Father.” It is just
as impossible for a man of the world
who does not bow his knee of submis
sion to Jesus Christ and confess Him
as his personal Saviour and Lord, to
know the Father, God, as it would be
impossible for him to take wings and
fly to the heavens. Jesus, to begin
with is the only photograph of the
Father. The Apostle Paul puts it in
another way—“He is the image of the
invisible God” “The pressed forth
one.” As a worker in wax will put
the wax into the mould, pressing it in
until every feature of the mold is pres-,
ent in the wax, so Jesus is the “press
ed forth Father,” the word image
meaning “pressed forth.” All that
goes to make up the Father, God, is
in Jesus, and in order to know the
Father, we must know the Son, for He
is the only manifestation that the
Father has ever given of Himself to
the world. Would you know the
Father? See Jesus. Would you
know the sympathy and love of the
Father for His children in the days of
their struggle and trial and suffering
whether of heart or of ambition?
Would you know how God feels under
these circumstances for one of His
own? See Jesus. Would you know
the Father in relation to His govern
ment, to His mercy, to His justice, to
His judgment, to His power? See Je
sus. Whatever there is of longing in
you concerning the revelation of the
Father, see Jesus, and you see the
Father. God is just like Jesus. Jesus
is just like God. Sometimes we speak
of Jesus so much as that we lose sight
of the Father. Sometimes we speak
of the goodness of Jesus, the sympa
thy of Jesus, the love of Jesus, and
forget that these are attributes of the
Father. I believe that the time has
come when there ought to be fresh
emphasis placed upon the attributes
of God, the Father. God is just as
tender, just as loving, as sympathetic,
just as anxious to conserve your in
terest and mine as is Jesus. To see
Jesus is to see the Father.
“And Him to whomsoever He will
eth to reveal him.” We have been
speaking of seeing God through Jesus
by the intellect. We can appreciate
the likeness of God to Jesus and Jesus
to God from the standpoint of the in
tellect, but there is a step higher re
vealed that we can not ever get from
the standpoint of the intellect and that
is the revelation of the Father inside
our hearts.
AFRAID OF GOD.

woodsman that has interested me
many a time; never more than re
cently when I heard the story of that
wonderful old man’s conversion. For
years as a young man he trembled on
the account of his sins. He was
afraid of God. He would go to church
and hear the man of God and it would
send a quiver all over his body, and
he could not stay there, oftentimes
getting up and getting out, afraid of
God. He felt that God was hunting
for him everywhere he went, and he
was running from God all the time.
Years passed by. When he would at
tempt to pray he would see an angry
God. But finally, out by the side of a
log in the woods one night where he
had gone after making up his mind
never to leave until he got peace,
somehow he came in touch with Je
sus; just the process I do not remem
ber, but he came in touch with Jesus
and for a moment he forgot God, His
anger, that He was mad with Him and
began to talk with Jesus, to tell Jesus
his troubles and implore Jesus to help
him, and instantly then Jesus passed
from his mind and he began to think
of God; not a God that was mad; not
a God angered; He was a God loving,
a God yearning, a God seeking that
He might save and bless, and He
was not afraid of Him; He was right
with Him, closer than ever before,
and he was perfectly at ease in the
presence of God. What was the se
cret of that? The secret is just what
Jesus closes with in this prayer. “No
man knoweth the Son save the Fath
er; no man knoweth the Father save
the Son, and he to whomsoever he
willeth to reveal Him.” The secret of
that changed experience consisted in 1
the fact that Jesus had through faith
revealed in that poor sinner man’s
heart the Father, and the father is
not angered; the Father is not going
to punish just for the sake of pun
ishing. The Father is not hunting
and hounding and harassing the con
science just for the sake of doing it;
the Father is love; the Father Is sym
pathy; the Father is tears; the Fath
er is heartaches. Do you see how the
Master makes the application of
this? “Come unto me all ye that la
bour and are heavy laden, and I will
give you rest”; as if Jesus when He
arose from prayer, looked out and
saw a world crouching, afraid, suffer-
