“| WOULD SPEND
MY LAST DOLLAR
FORIT’SHESAYS'
' tu n i
“1 Know By Experience That Dre c o
Will Do What is Claimed For **•
“Yes, it’s the truth, this medi
cine has done wonders for me; and
I don’t know what would have be
come of me, if it had not been for
Dreeo. I don’t see how a woman
could have been worse off than I
was and live. I suffered tortures
from constipation and indigestion, ,
and I tried everything I heard of to ‘
get relief, but nothing did me a bit
of good. I had to eat such a light
diet that I had no strength and ev
en that light food disagreed with
me and caused terrible suffering,
Sometimes I would turn blind and
get nauseated, and could hardly
stand up. I was constantly belching
and finally my stomach got so weak
that I could not hold water in it.
My head ached all the time, and I
was nervous as could be. I became
so weak that I could hardly keep up
with my work.
“Finally I decided to try Dreco, af
ter hearing so much about the re
lief it was bringing suffering people,
and in a short time I began to see
improvement. My stor.-.ach eased up
so I could eat once mere, and then
when I started on good, substantial
food. I began to regain my health
and improved right along. All my
troubles have now disappeared and I
feel like a new woman. My nerves
are as steady as a clock and I sleep
like a baby. Dreco has put new life
and strength into my system, and it
is on e medicine that will do all that
is claimed for it. If I were to get
down sick like I was before, I would
spend my last dollar to get some of
this great medicine,” .These are the
words of praise from Mrs. Mary
Webb. 2118 Amherst St., .Brunswick,
Ga. /
Dreco, the great root and herb
medicine is sold by all good druggists
and is especially recommended in
Americus by Americus Drug Co,

LESSON FOR AUGUST 10
WINNING OTHERS TO CHRIST.
LESSON TEXTS—Acts 16:9-15; James 5: i
13, 20. I
GOLDEN TEXT—Ye shall be witnesses
unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all i
Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the ut- !
termost parts of the earth.—Acts 1:8.
ADDITIONAL MATERIAL—Luke 13:1-
10; John 3:1-16; Acta 30:17-21; 28:30, 31.
PRIMARY TOPlC—Helping others to
know Jesus (Acts 16:9-15).
JUNIOR TOPlC—Telling our friends
about Jesus (John 1:40-46).
INTERMEDIATE TOPIC - Witnessing ’
for Christ.
SENIOR AND ADULT TOPIC—Per- I
sonal evangelism the duty and privilege
of all Christians.
I. Paul Called to Macedonia (Acta
16:9-12).
The inclination of Paul and his com
panion was to tarry in the province of
Asia, preaching the Word, but they
were hurried along against their incli- '
nation. Realizing that the Spirit knew
best they obeyed. In the guidance
of the Spirit we find hfm just as active
and as faithful in closing doors as in
opening them. Those who are disposed
to do the will of God should heed this
fact. Being hemmed in on all sides,
Paul saw in a vision a man of Mace
donia pleading for help. He now saw
clearly the mystery of the closed doors
about him. As soon as the divine way
was known they rendered Immediate
obedience. As true servants of God
they did not question his wisdom nor
delay action. Christ, the Divine serv
ant, is the pattern of obedience for all
time.
11. Paul Winning Lydia to Christ
(-• s 16:13-15).
A h Paijl as leader, the missionaries
went Philippi where they spent sev
eral du. tudylng the conditions there.
The Jev : element In the city was
very insig;. p.nt, as they could not af
ford a synai making it necessary
for the devojt'i nle to frequent the
river side for wor. To this humble
gathering Paul; t-nme and preached to
the women gathered there. A certain
woman by Thyatira, a proselyte, be j
lieved in fits message and was baptized.
The work ‘of the Lord here had a very 1
humble beginning, but it was destined j
to transform all Europe and the world, i
Lydia’s is a typical conversion, there-j
fore it Is worthy to note—
1. Her attendance at the place of
prayer (v. 13).
2. She listened to the preaching of !
the Word of. God (vv. 12-14).
3. Her heart was opened by the Lord
(v. 14). b
4. She was baptized (v. 15).
5. Her household believed (v. 15).
111. The Blessed Issue of Soul-Win.
ning (James 5:19, 20).
The business of soul-saving is the
most Important in which a human be- [
ing can engage. Anyone who has been ,
saved can point lost souls to the Savior.!
Christ came to save the lost (Luke
19:10). It Is the blessed privilege of
all Christians to labor together with
God in rescuing the perishing. The re
sult of soul-saving is twofold:
1. It saves souls from death (v. 20).
Meditation upon the three words
“saves,” “soul,” "death,” will make us
conscious of the tremendous Impor
tance of soul-saving. We must realize
the value of the souls before we can
give ourselves to ftie work of saving
them- A soul Is of more value than
the whole world (Matt. 16:26). God
valued souls so much that he gave
Jesus to die for them (John 3:16).
2. “Hides a multitude of sins” (v.
20). God’s way of hiding sin is to save
man from it. Every sinner has a mul
titude of sins, therefore every soul
saved hides that multitude of sins.
When sins are thus hidden they are out
of God’s sight forever. "As far as the
east is from the west, so far hath he re
moved our transgressions from us." I
(Psalms 103:12). He remembers our’
sins against us no more. (Isa. 43:25.)
Open to the Light.
The heart of a true Christian ap
pears like such a little white flower
as we see in the" spring of the year;
low and humble on the ground; open
ing its bosom to receive the pleasant
beams of the sun’s glory; rejoicing I
as it were in a calm rapture; dlffus- >
ing around a sweet fragrance; stand
ing peacefully and lovingly In the
midst of other flowers round about;
all In like manner opening their bo
soms to drink in the light of the sum—
Jonathan Edwards.
What Trial la.
That which purlfles us is trial, and
trial Is by what Is contrary.—John Mil
ton.
Despondency and Hope.
Despondency Is ingratitude—hope is
God’s worship.—Henry Ward Beecher.
Growth.
To become like Christ Is the only
thing In the world worth caring for,
the thing before which every ambition
of man is folly, and all lower achieve
ments vain. . . . Reflect the char
acter of Christ and you will become
like Christ.—Henry Drummond.
What Heaven Is Like.
Heaven is where love is, and where
love is there heaven Is. Our homes
and the homes of our neighbors
should give to each of us some idea
of what the real heaven is like.
