our souls. To know its deepest mean¬
ing one must have received the Lord
Jesus Christ as his Savior and con¬
fessed him as his Lord. Then in a
real sense does he become his shep¬
herd and with confidence such a soul
can say, “I shall not want.” Note the
future tense here. The child of God
does not want for any good thing, and
shall not want forevermore.
1. If the Lord is my shepherd then
he is causing me to lie down in green
pastures, which means that I am daily
feeding on his Holy Word. The Scrip¬
tures are the green pastures in which
the sheep have their soul hunger sat¬
isfied, so that they are able to rest in
sweet content. We can easily deter¬
mine how far the Lord can be called
our shepherd by the time and thought
we give to the Bible, the strength we
receive from it, and the love we have
for it.
2. If the Lord Is my shepherd then I
am enjoying the communion of the
Holy Spirit because he is leading me
beside the still waters. The still wa¬
ters are a symbol of the Holy Spirit
who dwells within the true believer in
Christ, to guide him in his perplexi¬
ties, to comfort him in his trials, to
soothe him in his sorrows, and to
enlighten the eyes of his heart ih the
knowledge of God and his precious
promises.
3. If the Lord is my shepherd then
I am experiencing continually the re¬
newing of my spiritual strength, for
he restoreth my soul. The sheep some¬
times wanders away from the flock
and gets torn amid the brambles, or
by the attacks of wild beasts. Or pos¬
sibly he falls among the rocks and
breaks a limb. The shepherd hinds
up his wounds and knits his broken
bones, and in a spiritual sense our
shepherd does the same for us. It is
this precious truth that is set before
us in those words of John where he
says, ‘‘If we confess our sins he is
faithful and just to forgive us our
sins and to cleanse us from all
unrighteousness.” The thirty-second
psalm shows us how God did this for
David, restored his soul when he was
a backslider, and the latter may have
been thinking about it when he penned
these word3.
4.. If the Lord is my shepherd then
I am surrendering my will to him day
by day, and for that matter moment
by moment, for otherwise he cannot
he leading me in the paths of right¬
eousness. Observe that the believer 1
on Christ has already been led into
those paths, but now he is being led
in them as he yields himself to God
for that purpose. Sometimes they are
paths of joy, sometimes of suffering,
sometimes of testing, but they are all
the paths of righteousness neverthe¬
less, if we have really come to God in
Christ.
5. If the Lord is my shepherd then
I am not failing to trust his promises
for if I fail there I am unable to tes¬
tify, as in the fourth verse of the
Psalm, “I will fear no evil.” The
moment we lose our trust in God the
fear of evil takes possession of us,
hut he whose confidence is reposed in
him can press to his heart the prom¬
ise in the first chapter of Proverbs:
‘‘Whoso hearkeneth unto me shall
dwell safely, and shall be quiet from
fear of evil.”
6. If the Lord is my shepherd then I
am continually enjoying security and
peace, for such is the meaning of the
words, “Thou preparest a table before
me in the presence of mine enemies.
In the Orient the enemies of the sheep
are the wild beasts just referred to,
hidden away in the darkness, ready
to spring upon their prey when unpro¬
tected by the shepherd’s presence. But
when he is there they feed in safety
on the green pastures and their ene¬
mies are powerless.
7. If the Lord Is my shepherd then I
am experiencing joy and gladness,
and rendering service of the same kind
to others that are about me, for such
is the significance of the words, “Thou
anointest my head with oil, my cup
runneth over.” The true Christian is
filled to overflowing, and those that
are round about him get the benefit of
the overflow in refreshing showers
■of blessing.
8. If the Lord is my shepherd then I
am the possessor of eternal hope cov¬
ering both this life and that which is
to come, “for surely goodness and
mercy shall follow me all the days of
my life, and I will dwell in the house
of the Lord forever.”
May this blessing come to all of you,
and it will come if you will receive
the instruction set before you at the
beginning of this message, and believe
on the Lord Jesus Christ and be
saved, for he hath said, “Him that
cometh unto me I will in no wise cast
out.”
Be always displeased at what thou
art, if thou desire to attain to what
thou art not; for where thou hast
pleased thyself, there thou abidest.—

However, it is tho
latter only who
are able to lay the
emphasis on the
possessive pro¬
noun, "my"—“The
Lord is my shep¬
herd.” It is this
pronoun that
makes all the'dif¬

understanding of
the psalm and its
preciousness to

FIERCE FIGHTING
OH ALL FRONTS
Germans Claim Capture Of French Trench
While French Report Repulse Of
Teutons In Champagne
KITCHENER TOJORCE ISSUE
Constantine To Be Told His Retention
Of Throne Depends On Good Will
Of Triple Entente
London.—There has been a revival
of hard fighting on the western front.
The Germans claim to have captured
300 meters of a trench near Ecurie,
while the French report the repulse
of German attacks against the Laby¬
rinth in Artois and also against Ta
hure, in Champagne.
Eastern German Line Jeopardized
The Russians continue their offen¬
sive west of Riga, and are making
an effort to get control of the railway
that connects Mitau with Windau. The
Russians are advancing to the west
of Kemmern, which fell into their
hands during the recent push. Perto
grad military experts declare that the
capture of Kemmern places the Ger¬
man line from Libau to Mitau in
jeopardy, and also brings a section of
the Tukum-Mitau railroad within artil¬
lery range. The German lines are said
to be only 10 miles in advance of Mi¬
tau, which city the Russians believe
willl soon be within the range of their
artillery.
Allies Threaten Greek King
London.—The intimation of the
Greek government that any allied
troops seeking refuge in Greek terri¬
tory will be disarmed has been the
cause of considerable anxiety to the
entente powers, and consequently Field
Marshal Kitchener’s Near East visit
gains added importance. Belated dis¬
patches from Athens say that Greece
bases her decision on international
law, while the entente ministers con¬
tend that the right accorded troops
to enter the country through Salon
iki permits them to retire by the same
route, should it become necessary for
them to do so. The ministers are de¬
manding that Greece unequivocally de¬
fine the attitude she will observe if
such an eventuality should present it¬
self.
Some Reminders For Constantine
Besides the claims to hospitality
which the entente allies declare they
have on Greecp, in view 0 / the then
Premier Venizelos’ invitation to them
to send a -forc« to Saloniki to enable
Greece to fulfil^ her treaty obligations
to Serbia, which, however, Greece re¬
pudiated, Earl \Kitchener or the en¬
tente ministers gre likely to draw the
attention of King Constantine and his
government to the fact that the con¬
stitutionalism of preece wps guaran¬
teed by France, Russia and Great Brit¬
ain Great and that Britain it wasj has only ceded obtained the Ionian af¬
ter
lands to that country and the three
powers had agreed to contribute $20,
000 yearly for the personal use of the
king. This, it is (Contended, binds the
Greek people to jhe entente allies.
Desperate Resistance By Serbia
London.—The/ tight for Serbia pro¬
ceeds without abatement. The Aus
tro-Germans anld Bulgarians claim re¬
peated successes, but it is apparent
their progress Vis slow, the Serbians
now having readied their mountain
fortresses in central Serbia and the
roads, or want roads, making it
difficult for the invaders to bring up
artillery. Capture of 8,500 Serbians
is reported by German headquarters
in the official statement. The Bulga¬
rian forces operating in Serbia took
7,000 prisoners, together with six can¬
non.
Italy Denounces Sinking Of Anconia
Washington.—Secretary Lansing per¬
sonally received from Macchi di Cel
lere, the Italian ambassador, a com¬
munication addressed by Italy to all
neutral nations denouncing as “an un¬
paralleled atrocity” the sinking of the
Italian liner Ancona with scores of
neutrals and other non-combatants
aboard. The statement recites the
circumstances of the attack, charging
that “without even a blank shot of
warning” from the attacking subma¬
rine, the vessel was shelled and that
the killing and wounding of passen¬
gers continued after the ship had
stopped.
Lieutenant Fay Makes Confesssion
New York.—Robert Fay, self-styled
lieutenant in the German army and by
his own confession head of a gang
of boinb-makers that sought to disable
or destroy munition-laden ships sail¬
ing from New York to the entente
allies, told the story of his life to
Assistant United States District At¬
torney Knox. Fay talked freely, fully
and of his own volition for five hours
without interruption. What he said
was not made public, but Mr. Knox
announces that all Fay wanted to do
was to plead guilty.
Movement Of Grain Greatest Known
Philadelphia.—What is probably the
greatest movement of grain the world
has ever witnessed now in progress.
Seizing the opportunity by the war in
Europe, American and Canadian farm¬
ers have raised unprecedented crops,
which are now being rushed to the
Atlantic seaboard in ali haste because
of the impending close of navigation
on the Great Lakes. In Philadelphia
not only are all the elevators filled
to their utmost capacity, but there
are more than a thousand ears of
grain on the railroad tracks.
Three Thousand Mine Workers Strike
Tamaqua, Pa.—More than three
thousand anthracite mine workers em¬
ployed by the Lehigh Valley Coal and
Navigation company in the Panther
creek valley are on strike. All the
electricians of the company left their
work because several had been sus¬
pended. The trouble started some
time ago, when eleven hundred mine
workers quit because some of rhe men
went to work without their union but¬
tons. Many quit for other reasons.
The men on strike represent about
one-third of the working force.

Calomel is mercury or quicksilver
which causes necrosis of the bones.
Calomel, when it comes into contact
with sour bile, crashes into it, breaking
it up. This is when you feel that aw¬

“all knocked out,” if your liver is tor¬
pid and bowels constipated or you
have headache, dizziness, coated
tongue,' if breath is bad or stomach
sour just try a spoonful of harmless
Dodson's Liver Tone.
Here’s my guarantee—Go to any
drug store or dealer and get a 50-cent
bottle of Dodson’s Liver Tone. Take a

To Protect Her Chest.
Rev. Horace Leonard, continuing his
campaign against cosmetics in Wash¬
ington, said at an al fresco luncheon;
”A young husband at the shore not¬
ed that in dressing for dinner the oth¬
er evening his wife had chosen a very
decollete gown.
“ ‘There's a dampish sea wind blow
in,’ he grumbled. ’Don’t you think
you’d better put something on your
chest?'
“ ‘I’ve powdered it twice, dear,’ she
answered. ‘Still, if you don’t mind
waiting, I suppose I might add another
coat.’ ’’ *
I Scriptural Proof.
‘‘At a negro camp meeting in North
Carolina,” says Senator Ben Tillman,
“a testifying penitent referred to him¬
self and his unconverted brothers as
‘niggers’ in a spirit of abject hu¬
mility which he deemed well pleasing
to his Maker. The presiding elder,
who ‘amended’ his speech at proper in¬
tervale, finally threw out a gentle re¬
buke.
‘ ‘Call vo’se’f a cullud person, broth¬
er,’ he admonished, impressively,
‘Niggers is a term of reproach invent¬
ed by proud white folks. Dey ain’t
no miRitlon in de Bible of niggers.’ ”
" ‘Oh, yes, dey is, parson,’ the peni¬
tent contradicted solemnly. ’Don’t you
rec-lect de place where it tells ’bout
nigger Demus?’”
The Making of the Pup.
Ted and James M-, who live
some distance from the city, have a
young bull dog, which they insist
needs training. The dog is by nature
ferodlous, so the trai:i J ng is not diffi¬
cult.
A short time ago a tramp was about
to enter their front gate, when he
spied the dog and changed his mind,
not soon enough, however, to avert
disaster.
“Sic ’em. Kid, sic ’em!” cried the
boys in delight.
Kid immediately began to play with
the tramp's ankles in a way which
gave cause for alarm.
“Take your dog off, or I’ll kill him,'’
yelled the victim, trying to carry out
his threat.
The boy grinned. “Stand it if you
can, mister. It’s hard on you, but it’ll
be the making of the pup!” called
Ted.—Indianapolis News.
CHANGE
Quit Coffee and Got Well.
A woman’s coffee experience is in¬
teresting. “For two weeks at a time
I have taken no food but skim milk,
<or solid food would ferment and cause
such distress that I could hardly
breathe at times, also
pa!n and heart palpitation and all the
time I was so nervous and restless.
“From childhood up I had been a
coffee and tea drinker and for the past
20 years I had been trying different
physicians but could get only tem¬
porary relief. Then I read an article
telling how some one had been helped
by leaving off coffee and drinking
Postum and it seemed so pleasant Just
to read about good health I decided to
try Postura.
“I made the change from coffee to
Postum and there is such a difference
in me that I don’t feel like the same
person. We all found Postum deli¬
cious and like it better than coffee. My
health now is wonderfully good.
“As soon as I made the shift to
Postum I got better and now my trou¬
bles are gone. I am fleshy, my food as¬
similates, the pressure in the chest and
palpitation are all gone, my bowels are
regular, have no more stomach trouble
and my headaches are gone. Remem¬
ber I did not use medicines at all—
j*st left off coffee and used Postum
steadily.” Name given by Postum Co.,

Postum comes in two forms:
Postum Cereal —the original form—

Instant Postum —a soluble powder—

LESSON FOR NOVEMBER 21
JONAH A MISSIONARY TO
NINEVEH.
I.ESSON TEXT-Jonah 3:1-10.
GOLDEN TEXT—Go ye therefore, and
make disciples of all nations, baptising
them into the name of the Father and of
the Son and of the Holy Spirit; teaching
them to observe all things whatsoever I
command you; and lo, I am with you al¬
ways, even unto the end of the world.—
Matt. 28:19, 20 R. V.
The story of Jonah is one of the
most famous and most interesting in
the Bible. In former series of lessons
more extended use has been made of
the book giving time to discuss its
historicity and other questions in¬
volved. This time only one reference
is used and that for the purpose of its
missionary teaching. We accept the
record of the book literally because
similar facts are recorded in profane
history but chiefly because of the tes¬
timony and the usage made of it by
Jesus (see Matt. 12:40; 16:4 and
Luke 11:30).
I. The Prophet Proclaiming, vv. 1-4.
Jonah “paid the fare” (1:3) and “out
of the depths” (Ps. 130:1) God de¬
livered him that he might fulfill his
God-appointed task. Even so the na¬
tion of Israel is today crying from out
of the depths of its woe among the
nations and will certainly be "deliv¬
ered" when the king comes, that it
may take its rightful place and fulfill
its God-appointed tasks. It is a won¬
derful testimony of God’s grace (vi)
that God’s word came to Jonah a “sec¬
ond time.” Once he ran from God's
command but God is the God of the
gospel of a “second chance” and a
third if only we repent and do his
commands, but God does not give a
“second chance” to the unrepentant
(Num. 14:40-45). Verse two explicitly
sets forth the message Jonah is to de¬
liver even so we are to proclaim the
Gospel (see I Cor. 15:1-4) not the spec¬
ulations of men nor the subtleties of
philosophy. The messenger of God
will find his message in the word of
God and will declare it. It is the
word which reveals God's love, his
plan of .salvation, and the destiny of
the saints. “By the foolishness of
preaching" men will be saved. The
word “preach” literally means “to cry
out” or “call out” and implies that
earnestness and insistence neejlful for
a true advocate or witness of God.
But the power is not in us^ it is not
the word of God mingled with the the¬
ories of men, or with such added to
the word. The Bible is the 1 soul win¬
ners true staff. Nineveh, vast magnif¬
icent. and wealthy could atone
for its wickedness; its greatness only
aggravated its condition. Jonah did
not spend any time to acquaint him¬
self with conditions or to do sight¬
seeing but cried, “yet forty .days, and
Nineveh shall be overthrown.^ When
he explicitly and minutely (obeyed
and delivered God's message j he at
once aroused and arrested the, atten¬
tion of the city. He did not attempt
to present “credentials,” nor explain
or defend his message. He did not
seek to harmonize it with “cur¬
rent thought” nor give it a “mod¬
ern expression.” He was blunt
and without compromise but gave an
opportunity for repentance. It is such
preaching that always wins (Isa.
51:11; Luke 1:37). Warning and an
opportunity for repentance usually
precede the judgments of God (Luke
13:8-9). Jonah appealed to fear as
we must at times and declaring the
whole counsel of God his message was
effective (Jer. 1:17; Acts 20:27).
II. The People Penitent, vv. 5-10.
Nineveh paid immediate heed to the
man who did not slur over God’s warn¬
ing. Had the city continued in sin, it
had not been delivered. Nineveh did
four things and as a result they were
saved: (1) They believed, “believed
God’’ (v. 5). All true repentance is
conditioned upon accepting God at
his word (John 13:20). (2) They
evidenced humiliation (v. 6). They
gave such evidence by humbling them¬
selves in the sight of God from the
king upon the throne to “even the
least.’’ There was no apparent attempt
to qualify or to evade God's decree,
but rather to accept it and by taking
a proper place in his sight be deliv
I ered from the penalty of their just
| deserts. (3) They prayed (v. S; ef.
6, 7). Their prayer was intense. The
kind of prayer that counts with God
must also count upon God, and God
“is slow to anger, and plenteous in
mercy” (Neh. 9:17). Prayer that is
effective is (a) grounded upon the
word of God (b) forsakes sin and (e>
obeys the will of God. (James 1:22;
2:17). (4) They made sacrifice (v. 8).
Mere humiliation and prayer does not
effect a remedy unless there is a mer¬
ciless judgment executed upon sin.
The essence of repentance is’to turn
away from sin. (Isa. 55:6, 7). God
saw “their works” that they turned
| from their “evil way” (v. 10), not
ways, and he did not execute the
threatened judgment upon the city.
God did not change. He hated their
sin and would surely have executed
his penalty, but they changed, hence
their deliverance.
Their changed attitude was accept¬
able to him.
Did Jonah fail in his mission? No!
for God's predictions of ruin are not
absolute and unconditional (Jer.
18:7-10). Chapter four is the record
of Jonah’s petulance and of God’s lov¬
ing-kindness.
Nineveh continued for nearly 200
years subsequently but it was then so
completely destroyed that for nearly
2,000 years its location was unknown
and disputed though now yielding a
rich harvest for the archeologist and
Bible student.
Can a nation be stirred today? For
answer witness Mott and Eddy in
China. In 14 of China’s chief cities
during three months of 1913, 7,000 of
the leaders of that nation enrolled as
inquirers.
Neglect of Important Func¬
tion May Seriously Im¬
pair the Health.
There are many people who believe
they suffer from indigestion when their
discomfort really is due to a constipat¬
ed condition.
Bloat, with its attendant mental de¬
pression, sick-headache, the belching
of sour stomach gases, etc., are fre¬
quently due to inaction of the bowels.
Relieve the congestion and the trouble
usually disappears. The use of cathai
tics and purgatives should be avoided,
however; these shock the svstem un¬
necessarily and, at best, their effect is
but temporary. A mild laxative is far
preferable.
The compound of simple laxative
herbs known sfe Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup
Pepsin and sold in drug stores for fifty
cents a bottle, is highly recommended.
Mr. Benj. Bassin, 360 Madison St.,
Gary, lnd., thinks Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup
Pepsin a wonderful medicine; for four
years he had a severe case of indiges¬
tion and constipation before trying Dr.
Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin, which he is
glad to recommend to all who suffer
Device to Save.
A new device brought out by an
Englishman puts an end to waste of
time in using the telephone. The in¬
vention is called an amplifier and can
be connected with the receiver by
pressing a button. By this simple
arrangement one does not have to wait
at the telephone while the person at
the other end goes in search of the
person you seek. Instead, the ampli¬
fier is switched on. The receiver can
then be placed on the desk and work
of the caller resumed. When the
party sought calls his tone is greatly
increased by the amplifier and can be
heard across a large-sized room.

sleep nights on account of backache. I be¬
came run down, fell off in weight and was<
at that point when I thought I would
have to stop my work as,saw tiler at the
Cedar Creek Saw- Mill Co.
I had used about everything and had
called in my doctor, bu£ 'all to no avail.
After seeing your advertisement in the
newspaper, I made up my mind to try
Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root as a last re¬
sort. After three months’ treatment I
passed a gravel stone and at the end of
one year’s treatment,- I was positively
cured of all kidney troubles. After taking
the first bottle I could sleep at night.
Now' I am perfectly healthy and I hon¬
estly believe Dr. Killer’s Swamp-Root to
be a thorough cure for kidney trouble. •
I will allow you to, publish this where
it may aid others who are suffering and in
closing I wish to thank you for my present
good health.
Yours very truly,

It What Cardui Gave to This Ala¬
bama Lady, According to Her
Statement Printed Below.
Clio, Ala.—“I had been in good health
until I was 15 years old,” writes Mrs.
A. L. Snell, of R. F. D. No. 1, this
place, “but one day... I was helping
my father plant cotton in the field and
was caught In the rain... At that timo
I got very ill... I suffered great agony
in the lower abdomen, right side, and
had dreadful sick headache, also pains
in the back... I got dreadfully thin
and simply gave entirely up. I had to
go to bed and was there, on my back,
for two weeks.
“Dr.-said I’d have to have an
operation. I wouldn’t hear to that, so,
as my mother had used Cardui with
great benefit... she recommended that
I take Cardui... Soon after I began
taking it, I saw an improvement, and
was able to get up and be about my
work...
“I was nearly entirely well... when
one day... I scrubbed the whole house,
washed clothes, for 7 in the family,
and got my feet wet. This caused an¬
other siek spell... So I turned again
to my old friend, Dr. Cardui. . . Alter
the use of less than a bottle again I
was able to be up and about my work.
I also fleshened up again, got a good
color, and I am now in good health...
I highly recommend Cardui... It is
the best tonic that I know of.”
If you need a tonic, try Cardui. For
sale at all druggists.
Healthy.

asked the intending purchaser.
“Great!” exclaimed the real estate
agent. “Finest in the world. Why.
