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. J

“THE LITTLE WORKERS.”
Seventeen Chicago Children Banded
Together to Clean Neighborhood.
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.
