Vm i&, ftis The Shepherd Psalm Bt REV JAMES M. CRAY. D. D. Deu «i Moody Btbia Urtittit. TEXT—The Lord la my shepherd; X shall not want.—Psalm 23:1. This beautiful psalm needs no com mendation, for even the .people of the i:;:-'.' “553%: 2553353353,; f: ' :1. ~ . . ' - "2:7.$§:5:5;5:§*15:j353. ._'~:~:»:;:;;:;:-'.:5.,;.;:;'.-._.;' v. .

' 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.— Quarles. world know and love it in their own way as do the people of God in a different way. 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¬ ference as to our understanding of the psalm and its preciousness to Qmu. 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. THE ELLIJAY COURIER ELLIJAY, GEORGIA. CALOMEL WHEN BILIOUS? NO! STOP!

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., Battle Creek, Mich. Postum comes in two forms: Postum Cereal —the original form— must be well boiled. 15c and 25c pack¬ ages Instant Postum —a soluble powder— dissolves quickly in a cup of hot water, and, with cream and sugar, makes a delicious beverage instantly. 30c and 50c tins. Both kinds are equally delicious and cost about the same per cup. “There's a Reason” for Postum. —sold by Grocers. spoonful and if it doesn't straighten you right up and make you feel fine and vigorous I want you to go back to the store and get your money.

Indigestion May Be Due to Inudnational SOfWSWL Lesson (By E. O. SELLERS, Acting Director of Sunday School Course of Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) (Copyright, 1915, Western, Newspaper Union.) 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.
