SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson X.—Third Quarter, For Sept. 3, 1911. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, a Comprehensive Quarterly Review—Golden Text, Ps. xxxiv, 14— Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. Lesson I.—lsaiah’s prophecy eon cerning Sennacherib (Isa. xxxvii. 14- 38). Golden Text, Ps. xlvi. 1. “God is our refuge and strength, a very pres ent help in trouble.’’ Sennacherib is in the line of Cain and Pharaoh and all enemies of God and His people to be consummated in the blaspheming anti christ of the last days, back of whom and through always seen the devil. The devotion of Hezekiah to the living and true God was too much for the great adversary, and so he stirred up the king of Assyria against Hezekiah. But see how two men who knew God prevailed in prayer. Lesson ll.—The suffering servant of Jehovah (Isa. lii. 3. to liii. 12). Golden Text, Isa. liii, 6. “The Lord hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all.” We find this record right in the midst of the last part of Isaiah, the middle chapter of the middle section, and the middle verse is liii, 5, which gives us the heart of all Scripture. If with His stripes we have been healed, then as His redeemed ones standing against the world, the flesh and the devil, we must be content to suffer with Him and count it a great privilege (Phil, i, 29; I Pet. iv. 13; v, 1. 10). We shall be satisfied when He is (liii, 11). Lesson lll.—Manasseh’s wickedness and penitence (II Cbron. xxxiii, 1-20). Golden Text, Isa. i, IG. 17, “Cease to do evil, learn to do well.” Of all the wicked kings of the ten tribes none exceeded Ahab in wickedness, but Manasseh in Judah seems to have ex ceeded him. By comparing II Kings xxi with our lesson chapter we see how fearful the record is. It looks as if he did the vdry wrnrst that he could do. The conversion of such a wicked man should greatly encourage parents who have ungodly children, for God is full of mercy. Lesson IV.—Josiah’s devotion to God (II Chron. iii, 4, 1-13). Golden Text, Eccles. xii. 1. “Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth.” This boy king probably knew only of his father’s zeal for God. and may have been thus inspired with a similar zeal. When he was only sixteen he began to seek God earnestly, and when he was twenty he purged the land from idolatry and did that which the man of God said 300 years before that he would do (I Kings xiii. 2; II Kings xxiii. 16). When he was twenty-six he began to repair the house of the Lord his God. Lesson V'.—The finding of the book of the law (II Chron. xxxiv, 14-33). Golden Text, Ps. cxix, 11, “Thy word have I hid in my heart that I might not sin against Thee.” As he went on in his good work. God gave him more light by causing the book of the law to be found. This was a fulfill ment of the word, “Then shall we know if we follow on to know the Lord” (nos. vi, 3). If we act up to the light we have. God will in some way send us more. The Lord knew that Josiah would inquire into this and be obedient and humble himself before God. Lesson Vl.—Jeremiah tried and ac quitted (.Ter. xxvi. 7-19). Golden Text, Ps. xxvii, 1, “The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear?” It seems strange that priests and prophets of the Lord should want to kill a man because he spoke the words of the Lord, simply because the message did not suit them, but there were in those days, and there are today, professed messengers of the Lord whom He never sent, prophets of the deceit of their own heart speaking lies in His name (Jer. xxiii. 14, IG, 21, 25, 2G>. Lesson Vll.—Jehoiakim burns the prophet’s book (Jer. xxxvi, 20-32). Golden Text. Isa. xl. 8, “The word of our God shall stand forever.” It was not the prophet’s book, but the Lord’s book, which the king cut up and burned in the fire, but the book was written again immediately in a larger edition, and the Lord attended to Jehoiakim. There are many now who seem to have no fear of God while professing to be His messengers and who ruth lessly set aside large portions of Scrip ture, calling them myths and fables. The Lord will see to them, and Ps. cxix, 89. stands. # Lesson Vlll.—Jeremiah cast into prison (Jer. xxxvii. 4-21). Golden Text, Matt, v, 11, “Blessed are ye when man shall revile you and perse cute you and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely for My sake.” He is still hated and persecuted for the truth’s sake, even as many were before Him, and are now and will be till the kingdom comes (John xv. 18- 21; xvi. 1-3). The father of lies cannot stand the truth and will not if he can help It. but he cannot lay a finger on any child of God without permis-1 slon and then only as far as permitted, j Lesson IX —Judah carried captive to j Babylon (Jer. xxxix, 1-10). Golden j Text. N'liiu. xxxii. 23. “Be sure your sin will find you out.” Not withstand- j Ing all the peaceful words of the false 1 prophets, the word of the Lord by Jeremiah was literally fulfilled in due time. This age of so called progress, which is the progress of all things to ; be controlled by one devil possessed man. the antichrist, will end by the j overthrow of all things that can be shaken, and then shall come the king dom of peace and righteousness. TEARS THAT SWEETEN WOE. THERE Is no thing In love or song To match the tears that sweeten woe; Not gems that deck the ornate throng May meetly unto them belong. But what the sage knows not, they know. Not charmed vision of romance < That rises like a god afar; Yea. like a god of fiery glance Who comes with golden sword and lance Returning from a Titan war. Not a still nook in nature’s breast Wherein the dreamer fitly dreams And where the soft leaves droop In rest At evening’s delicate behest Wrapped in a mantle of moonbeams. And not the dark, wind haunted sea And not the stern and rugged hills, The mists that follow eerily. The moonlit groves of witchery. The babble of the forest rills. Nay, poet, seek not in your heart Nor in the loved one’s eyes—in vain Are all the fantasies of art. From them the mysteries depart To wait upon the tears of pain. Lone is the road they take and long. Gently they come and gently go. Far from the mart, far from the throng, Fitr from desire, far from song, The perfect tears that'sweeten woe. —R. T. Chandler in Westminster Gazette. THE NEW THOUGHT. YV7HEN Hope recoils I clear a path ’ ’ For mortals where the road is hard. I reap from failure's aftermath: I enter where the gates are barred. (pi’ER seas unsailed I hold the helm; 1 cleave a passage through the air; j I find the goal of every realm; My questing foot is everywhere. T raise the burden for the faint And press his shoulder to the wheel; Train him to scorn the weak complaint And bruise distrust beneath his heel. YATHO woos me finds his boon at length Unaided, while for others' sakes He shares the brotherhood of strength And to his helpful self awakes. —John Troland. Trade at Home. The building up of a community de pends to a large extent upon the suc cessful establishment and patronage of stores !»nd tradespeople to supply the residents with the conveniences which have now become an Indispen sable part of modern life. By support ing the local stores those who have in vested in homes enhance tke value of their own property by advancing gen eral prosperity. The shortsighted pol icy of spending money with the big advertising concerns which do not con tribute an lota to the taxes of the town or city Is neither wise from a general or personal economic point. As a rule, things are often bought at sales which are not actually needed and therefore would be dear under any cir cumstances. Tbe home store, as a rule, gives prompt service, reasonable prices and. when necessary, convenient credit —factors which more than offset an occasional bargain secured at the cost of a trip to the city and added ex- 1 penses, which more than offset the difference of cost. A prosperous mer cantile community is one of the healthiest factors in a city or town.

Can anybody imagine seventeen boys and girls of tender age promising to stop gum chewing? Well, it is true, and that is only one of the reforms— though the most remarkable—that the west side of Chicago is undergoing. In addition to resisting the allure ments of gum, these seventeen young west siders. banded together as the Little Workers, are sworn to cleanse the name and fame of their neighbor hood by these means: Cleaning back .wards. Planting flowers and vegetables. Replanting and caring for front iawnß. Picking up all loose bits a( paper. Watering all the trees. Seeing that garbage is placed 1b closed boxes. Road Made of Leather. After nearly a year a road made of leather waste treated with tar at Handsworth. Birmingham. England, shows practically no signs of wear. Heavy wheels make no impression on it, and it is a comfortable material for 1 horses to tread on. Waste leather which was shredded until it virtually i became a pulp was treated with bi tumen and tar. It is stated that hith erto no real use has been found for leather waste.—London Daily MaiL “Cardui Cured Me” For nearly ten years, at different times, Mrs. Mary Jinks of Treadway, Tenn., suffered with womanly troubles. She says: “At last, I took down and thought I would die. I could not sleep. I couldn’t eat. I had pains all over. The doctors gave me up. I read that Cardui had helped so many, and I began to take it, and it cured me. Cardui saved my life! Now, I can do anything.” LAROUJ Woman’s Tonic If you are weak, tired, worn-out, or suffer from any of the pains peculiar to weak women, such as headache, backache, dragging-down feelings, pains in arm, side, hip or limbs, and other symptoms of womanly trouble, you should try Cardui, the woman’s tonic. Prepared from per fectly harmless, vegetable ingredients, Cardui is the best remedy for you to use, as it can do you nothing but good. It contains no dangerous drugs. It has no bad after-effects. Ask your druggist. He setts and recommends Cardui. Write to: Ladies’ Advisory Dept., Chattanooga Medicine Ca, Chattanooga.
