STRENGTHLESS

So Weak She Could Hardly

One Bottle of Cardui Put
Her on the Road to
Recovery
Tangier, Ind.—“ Four years ago
t'ais summer I was sick in bed,"
writes Mrs. Lillie McElweee, of this
place. “I had been under the doctor's
care for five weeks. ... I was
pretty bad, and I was just as nerv
ous as I could be. ... I could
not sleep at night until 10 or 12
o’clock. When I would doze off and
wake up I would be all of a trem
ble with nervousness.
“The doctor called my trouble ca
tarrh of the ... It gave me such
pains that at each one it would seem
that I could not bear another one.
Then I would chill . . . the pains
would just seem to shake me all
over, and the next day I would be
so weak I could hardly move. I would
be so utterly strengthless that it
would seem as if I were dying.
“After one of my bad spells . . .
and I had almost died, I picked up
the Home Treatment Book and de
cided to try Cardui. Before I had
taken a whole bottle, I could sleep at
night. ... I don’t remember just
how long, but in a short time I was
up and helping with the woi;k . .

SABBATH
SCHOOL LESSON
For October 24, 1920—Matt. 5
DR. MARION MU. HULL
Golden Text: Ya therefore shall be
perfect as your heavenly Father is
perfect. Math. 5:48.
Perhaps no well known passage of
the Bible is more misunderstood
than the “Sermon on the Mount.”
In the first place, it wasn’t a ser
mon; in the second place, it wasn't
spoken to Christians; in the third
place, it was spoken to Jews about
things that pertain to Jews pri
marily, but which some day will be
realized by everybody. If we right
ly divide the of truth we shall
probably have to unlearn a good
many things we have been taught
heretofore. For example, did Christ
teach that we should live by the Gold
en Rule? Think that out during
these next two or three studies.
No this was not a sermon. The
words are all those of Jesus, but the
arrangement of it Is Matthew’s. He
was writing to the Jews to prove
that Jesus of Nazarith was the Mes
siah of /prophecy, and he had been
speaking of Him as the King. It
was most natural therefore that he
should gather up srome of the say
ings of Jesus which set forth the
principles that should govern the
subjects of the King—or, in other
words, the Constitution of the King
dom. Matthew follows a well-known
literary device, adopting a style of
so-called Wisdom literature, which
consists of a terse statement which
is further amplified. For example,
the first beatitude Is expanded sev
enfold.
I ndoubtedly Jesus spoke some of
these words on a mountainside; some
of them were also spoken on a plain
(see Luke 6); but Matthew has ar
ranged them in away to catch the
Jewish attention, as pointed out
above. He shows the King’s idea
and ideal of happiness; His plan as
to the relationship the subjects of
the kingdom should bear to outsid
ers their relation to the Law; their
relationship to worship and to His
commandments. This sevenfold ar
rangement of itself would appeal to
the Jewish mind. Today we are
to study the first three of these
sections.
Character Not condition.
How different the King’s idea of
blessedness is from the world's. But
let us study them carefully. The
poor in spirit—emphasize the last
two words. Poverty is not happi
ness; but to be poor In spirit is to
appreciate your own nothingness in
the light of God’s everythingness.
Absolute dependence upon God, and
realizing it—this is the greatest
blessing that can come to anyone,
for them the Kingdom of heaven is
his AU that God has is his when in
recognition of his utter dependence
upon Him, a man cast himself whol
ly on Go.
The other beatitude sare a seven
fold expansion of this first one. The
man who is poor in spirit mourns—
not over personal sin, not over the
loss of loved ones, but over the ru ip
that sin has wrought in the world.
Christ was aman of sorrows and
acquainted with grief, and He says,
“the reproaches of them that re
proached thee are fallen upon me.
It is love’s judgment over the ruin
that sin has wrought that He bless
es here; he who recognizing his own
nothingness shares with Christ the
sorrow over a ruined world shall be
comforted, for he is assured of a
time of rest, God’s rest.
Such an one is meek. "Meek" means
“one who listens.” Blessed is the
man who recognizing his utter de
pendance upon God, and shares with
Christ His sorrow over a ruined
world, listens to what God has to
say; for such an one shall inherit
the earth. .
His own sense of need in view ot
the will of God revealed to him cre
ates in him a hunger and thirst after
righteousness. Everything else pales
into insignificance; he craves only
the highest, and he shall be com
pletely filled.
Mercy is righteousness. To be
merciful is to b erighteous. In chap
ter 6:1-2 we find this, as Jesus Him
self is speaking. “Take heed that
you do not your righteousness before
men, etc.” Almgiving and righteous
ness are iffeed as synonyms. Blessed
therefore are the merciful, the right
eous, for they shall obtain right
eousness. There is no thought’ here
of buying mercy by being kind heart
ed and generous. Righteousness does
not come in that way; but by recog
nizing your utter dependence upon
God, casting yourself entirely on His
mercy, listening to what He has to
say, and hungering after the highest
that He has to give.
To such an one righteousness
comes, and with it purity of heart
and life which will eventual in see
ing God. The “eyes’ ’are in the
heart (Epb. 1:18). Those to whom
Christ came did not see Him as their
King because their hearts were not
right. Those who are poor in spirit
who mourn, who hungfier and thirst
after righteousness, who are merci
ful, become pure in heart and have
eyes for God and can see Him in
every circumstance of life and shall
see Him as He is some day.
Such persons become peacemakers,
not just settlers of difficulties, but
make peace between rebellious man
and an offended but patient and gra
cious God. This was the life work
of Jesus the Christ, and identified
with Him in this work, they shall
be called the sons of God.
But sue ha life condemns the
worldling and persecution follows,
but even persecution for righteous
ness sake, and for the King’s sake
becomes a blessing, an source of joy.
and an assuurance of reward in heav
en „ . ,
So the King’s idea of happiness
depends upon character, not upon
conditions, thus differing entirely
from what the world’s idea is. Did
vou notice, though, that this is a
picture of the King Himself He was
poor inspilrt. He emptied Himself
(Phil. 2:6), He mourned, He hun
gered, He listened for His Father’s
voice, He was merciful, He was pure
in heart, He broke down the mid
dle wall of partition and made
p»ace, He was persecuted. He want
ed His people to be like Him, but
they rejected Him.
Relation to tlie Outside World
Then He set forth before them
His plan for them as for as they
were related to the world about Him.
“Ye are the salt of the earth.” “Ye
are the light of the world.” Salt and
light—salt to create an appetite, and
light to show the way. In the new
kingdom which He came to estab
lish. and would have done so then if
they had not rejected Him, His peo
ple will be salt and light.
But salt about Palestine some
times lost its saltness and then was
good for nothing except to be thrown
out and pack the roadways hard. His
people lost their saltness and have
been cast out temporarily. They hid
their light under a bushel, and God
has failed to get the glory that
should have been His.
Relation to the Law
Then the King set out their rela
tion to the law. He did not abrogate
the law; He emphasized it as neces
sary, and maintained that not one
jot nor one title of it should pass
until all be fulfilled. Since Chris
tians are not under the law, He could
not have been speaking to the
church, but to the Jews who were

Housewives Should Choose Curtains
That Are Becoming to the Home;
This Special Article Tells How
l f K/( MwSo ; I !
I A dSSwt 'o It .
IT —J B— itf[
- LIZ =£= LX- f4|
BY VIOLA FLEISCHMAN,
Interior Decorator
CLEVELAND.—“I always judge a
house by its windows.”
Curtains do give character to a
house ,and that is what these good
housewives mean when they say they
judge a house by its windows.
Before selecting material for cur
taining the windows of your home
you should consider the type of win
dow, its relative proportion to the
room as a whole and wall spaces and
the amount of light the room re
ceives.
A window which has the appear
ance of narrowness or seems long
and high for the size of the room
should have a curtain arrangement
which makes this less obvious. At
such a window cross curtains, similar
to those shown at the left in the il
lustration, should never be used.
Cross curtains, however, are beauti
ful for wide windows if made of net,
grenadine, marquisette, self-starch
ing organdie, dotted or plain Swiss
and muslin.
For Casement Windows
Casement windows and French
doors require a curtain arrangement
which will not interfere with opening
the swinging frames freely. A double
set of rods is usually employed—one
set above and one below when the
curtains are made up as shown by
the French doors sketched.
Nets have been used and still are
being used for curtaining doors, but
even softer lighting effects and more
grace can be given, especially when
the curtain is tucked as shown, by
using georgette, silk gauze or shan
tung silk. A fringe of silk, wool.or
chenille—according to the curtain
material —may be used as a novel
finish at the bottom.
An interesting arrangement of
hangings for a group of windows in a
bay is shown. Casement cloth could
be used both for the side hangings
and the valance, employing the ecru
or natural color material for the
hangings, and soft old blue, or other
color note of the room itself, for the
scalloped and shirred valance.
Weighted tape is stitched to the hem
of this material to give the necessary
weight.
Dispense With Shades
Shades can be dispense d with at
these windows if draw-cords be pro
vided to allow for pulling the side
hingings across the window readily
when the light or view int othe room
is to be shut off.
Casement cloth is a raw silk, sim
ilar to pongee and comes In various
weights, textures and colors. It is
becoming more and more popular be
cause of the grace with which it
hangs and the way it softens harsh,
cold light.
Attractive roller window shades
for such parts of the home as the sun
room, breakfast room and sleeping
rooms are made of figured materials,
usually oiled silk or glazed (varnish
ed) chintzes.

a deeper meaning to it than they had
ever dreamed, so that they had to
be more righteous than the Phari
sees and the Scribes ever dared to
hope if they were to enter the new
Kingdom. He dealt with six of
these —a very significant number,
showing man’s failure. The out
ward act was not to be the criterion,
but the inward motive determining
murder and adultery; the simplest
statement being all that was neces
sary to establish a fact: retaliation
being replaced bv the “second mile;”
hatred supplanted by love; and
nothing less that the completeness
of God the Father being sufficient
to satisfy the demands of the King
for His subjects.
Os course, as Christians, we are
not borned by law; but since He has
kept the law. we shall be enabled to
more than meet its demands by hav

life in us.

Cross curtains are beautiful for wide windows; French door curtains
usually need a double set of rods; attractive roller window shades are
made of figured materials; in a group of windows in a bay, small side
hangings with a short scalloped and shirred valance of a contrasting
color are interesting.

(For the benefit of anybody who
has not read the opening install
ments of “A Journey With Aunt Ju
lia,” it may be said that this chron
icle is a record of a visit to the Ber
ry Schools, near Rome, Oa., the only
place of its kind in the world. The
narrator of the story is the noted
conductor of “Aunt Julia’s Letter

Journal that has no rival in the Amer

is a fine experience for anybody who
likes to hear about the good things
of life.)
We went out to a porch to see a
garden the girls are planting; they
study the beautifying of the home
inside and out. This garden was all
full of sweet old-fashioned flowers,
shrubs and perennials—and across
the fields I saw the beautiful blue
of the mountains. What a setting
for such a place! It just seemed
like God smiled on them.
I had a lot more things to see
and was saving Faith Cottage for
the last, so started again and we
went towards the boys’ school, al
though it meant doubling back to
Fa’th Cottage.
And do you know it has just oc
curred to me that I haven’t told you
one thing about how this Wonder
Place really looks and I don’t know
whether I can give you a fair idea,
I left out all about how it started
and a lot of interesting things.
Well, first—Miss Martha Berry
wanted to be a writer, you see, she
had been away to one of the best
of schools and she had never thought
seriously any any work; but she knew
she could write and she chose a small
cabin on her father’s place for the
purpose.
One Sunday afternoon she was in
her little cabin and was playing on
a small half-worn-out organ and

(A True Incident)
Ten new pennies! What lot’s
of fun?
What shall I do with them, every
one?
One I borrowed from Dorothy Lee.
And one for c’lection on Sunday
must be.
One for baby to buy a balloon,
One for the monkey that plays a
tune,
And five for violets, sweet and blue,
For the mother dear when she walks
with you. »
There’s just one left; now what
shall I do
With this last penny? Now what
would you dq?
“Why yes of course,” said my lad
die bright,
"I’ll give it to Jesus to send his
light.”
"But dear, I said, you have done
your part;
Your tenth was given with all your
heart;
You gave your first one to Him, in
deed.”
“I know —but that one belonged, you
see.
To s’pport the Gospel right here for
me;
But this’n—well, this’n a present
will be.
Just because I love Him, and He
loves me_Y
That Armenian Fund
So many new subscribers have
joined our big Tri-Weekly Journal
family that I am requested to tell
them something about this particu
lar fund, and this is the story brief
ly told.
Last December, the day after
Christmas I asked for funds to help
the Near East Relief association
keen little children In Armenia and
Serbia from freezing and starving.
I have been so gratified over the
way the money has come in—not
many big checks, but from so many
people. God has his ministers and
laymen working all over this' land
for all sorts of good causes, and 1
have tried to emphasize the fact
that we must not “rob Peter <.O pay
Paul.” In other words we must not
fail to pay our pastor, or church as
sessment, and give as an excuse that
we have already done so mu< h. If
you have kept books you know ex
actly what your tenth is, and thfen
you can say, if you have been hon
est and have given God his own,
“But that belonged, you see,
To s’pport the Gospel right here for
me.
But this’n—well this’n. a present
will be,
Just because I love Him and He
loves me.’
Several times I have been the me
dium through which conscience
money has been paid, and to my no
tion, the right way to pay conscience
money is to the party themselves,
through others if you want to, but
not to Uncle Sam. Here is a letter
enclosing a check for five dollars. I
sent this man ten dollars that I’d
been requested to forward. The
writer said he knew it was not more
than that amount, but it stood be
twen him and Heaven. Here is a por
tion of the letter that came back to
me:
“I received your letter and want
you to tell the party that he, or she,
is freely forgiven, I am enclosing
my check for five dollars, you can
give for Armenian relief or any
other charitable purpose that you
may wish to help. With kind re
gards.
‘Yours very truly,
“B. F. I.”
So you see we have nearly enough
singing some hymns when she felt
that someone was looking in the
window, and when she turned, it
was to see some ragged little chil
dren with their faces pressed against
the pane—blessed little things who
loved the music.
She took them inside and they
were mighty shy at first, but; after a
while they sang, too, and when they
left it was with the promise to come
back next Sunday and bring some
of their folks.
And sure enough, they did; there
was a line of mules and oxen and
wagons; and big folks and little ones.
They were ignorant, but they could
not help it, for there was no school
near enough that they could go to
and they had to have other kind of
clothes for city schools.
That started the thought In Miss
Berry’s mind —“my mountain folks
must have a chance to learn." She
tried to start schools in different
places, but she soon found that that
wouldn’t do, so then, in spite of ad
vice from family and friends, she
deeded one hundred acres of her
property to a board of trustees to be
held by them for the use of the poor
boys and girls of the mountains.
The school opened on January Ist,
1902; since that time she had given
all of her time to interesting people
in the school and In sharing the
life with the girls and boys, she has
watched a miracle of growth per
formed on the land she so generous
ly gave for such a noble cause.

to make this last report read one
hundred and fifty, and we have two
months more to round out the year.
! I hope none of you have ever been
in a city where the financial crisis
made it necessary for the city to
have a brad line. That is heart rend
: ing. I saw it once, and when I
looked at the picture the Near East
Relief sends of their “Hunger Line”
which is twenty-four miles long, it
' brought to memory that other hun
ger line. Last, winter we of the
; United States sent $750,000 worth of
1 child feeding supplies, chiefly ce
reals. Shall we care for them this
winter? They are a year older and
. to die of hunger or cold now would
' be suffering longer than if they had
died then.
They are our brothers and sisters.
I suppose the majority of you read
God’s promise and warning in the
, Sunday school responsive reading of
October 10. If not turn to Deuter
, onomy VI chapter and see what the
Bible tells us about how to live,
what to talk about and to whom to
look for victory over temptation.
Is this a little “preachment?” It
is well for all of us to look into our
. hearts and see what sort of treas
ures we .have laid up; It is well for
all of us to remember the good
things that have come into our lives
, and then beware lest we forget that
' it -was God who opened the store
house of Heaven and gave us these
blessings.
. “There hath no temptation taken
i you, but such as is common to man;
but God is faithful, who will not suf-
■ fer you to be tempted above that
. ye are able; but will with the temp
tation also make away to escape
■ that ye may be able to bear it.

• was eighteen wljen she mar
ried the first time, several years after
we were left alone in the world. She
lost her mind through shock when
her husband, Will Morgan, Ben’s old
er brother, was killed. Wijl was kill
ed right before my sister’s eyes, four
weeks before Frankie, their baby, was
born. We were all liv.ing together at
the time, for Will was kindness itself
and he said that Betty and I should
not be separated. I was kept busy
nursing and Betty kept house.
“Will sacrificed his life to save
Betty. He snatched her from under
the wheels of an automobile one eve
ning at dusk when they were taking
a little walk along the roadway near
our home in the suburbs. Betty, who
always had childish ways, had run
back across the road to get some wild
asters growing there. Will tried to
hold her, but she broke away, laugh
ing. When she realized her danger
she was transfixed with fright and
he rushed between her and the ma
chine. throwing Betty to one side.
“Will was killed instantly, but Bet
ty was unharmed physically.
“No one really knew what had hap
pened to Betty's mind until about five
weeks later when Ben Morgan came.
He had gone to California to ranch
when Will and Betty were married.
“Ben had wanted me to marry him
at that time but my heart was still
too full of grief over mother to be
able to feel anything else like that.
Yet just as soon as he was gone I
longed for him to come back, just be
cause of my grief and lonesomeness.
It often happens that way, I think.
Betty had left me too, you see. Al
though neither of us would admit it,
things were not the same between us
—there was bound to be a difference.
She had loved Will, at first with
childish tenderness and later with the
fully awakened love of a happily
married woman. His tragic death
completely stunned her and she lay
in that condition for weeks, never
speaking, and eating only* when
urged.
“We awaited the crisis, believing
that it must bring a change and fear
ing, yet hoping for what that change
would be. But what we hoped for did
not happen.
MARY MEREDITH’S ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME
Dear Miss Meredith:
Please give me some advice. I. am
a girl tw - enty years old, and am in
love with a boy about twenty-four
We have been going together for
about five years. Do you think he
loves me? Are we old enough to
get married? Is it right to go with
more than one boy at a time? How
often should a boy call—is three
times a week too often? Is it right
to kiss a boy after you are engaged.
Please advise as early as possible.
BEAUTY.
You should know your own
minds. At twenty years a girl’s
mind should be matured enough
to know whether she is in love
seriously enough to marry the
object of her affection. If you
are not contemplating marriage
it is alright to have as many
beaux as you wish. Three times
a week is not too often to receive
young men callers. Kissing is
not to be indulged in unless you
really are going to marry the
man.
Will you please do me the kind
ness to give me the address of some
wholesale millinery business in Atan
ta that I can write to and find out if
I can go there and learn the milli
nery business, as I am real anxious
to learn this. If you can I will
greatly appreciate your kindness and
inclose stamped envelope.
OLINE.
You might write a letter to
Kutz Wholesale Millinery com
pany (to the manager) and see if
they can place you. That is the
best concern I know of. Or you
may write to Mrs. E. M. Buch
annan, 342 Edgewood avenue.
Atlanta. She has a millinery
store and may need help.
I am writing you for your best
advice. I am a girl of 16 years
and I married a man of 17 years.
We have been separated for 11
months and my parents w - ant me to
get a divorce and stay at home, but
I do not feel right at home any more.
My husband was good to me and I
love him dearly. He seemed to
think the world of me. The reason
I don’t want to live with him mother
and all of the people make fun of
him for being so little. He makes
good wages. I w - ill close, thanking
you for your advice, as I am unde
cided. Yours truly,
MIKE LITTLE.
If you love your husband and
he has done nothing to cause
you to leave him and he is will
ing to provide a home for you,
your place is with him, regard
less of what your parents say.
You will have to live your own
life you know and it is very
wrong for you to listen to tales
against your husband’s . physical
appearance. For history tells us
of a beautiful princess who mar
ried a hunchback because she
saw his beautiful soul.
I am coming to you for advice.
My age is seventeen. I was never
able to complete school because
my father died, leaving only I and
my mother alone. Since I was fif
teen years old I went with a boy
older than me. but since a month
ago he does not seem to want to
go with me. Perhaps it was because
I did not finish school. My father
died when I was in the seventh
grade. Please advise me what is
best to do. DOT.
Do not worry about the boy.
I’m sure if he cares for you at
all, he will not mind your lack
of, education. You can help your
self by ceadlug good books* kk
Chapter XXVI
z z f —COM the hour of little Frank
• • ie’s birth I have been his
I mother,” Miss Haldeman
continued. She could see
that Nora was greatly interested in
her story. “When her torture cea’sed,
my sister turned her wan face and
great sad eyes toward her new-born
baby, then looked away as if she had
not even seen him, sighed deeply and
closed her eyes.
“Ben had come all the way from
California to be with us in our trou
ble. and he tried tq help me in the
awful ordeal. But there was some
thing awful yet to come. Ben and
Will had always resembled each oth
er very much, and in the two years
that the younger brother had been
away the resemblance had become
startling.
"It made us hesitate about allow
ing hftn to see Betty, but finally we
did two weeks after the baby was
born. Dr. Findlay sanctioned it —
just to see if it wrnuld rouse her. It
did. Betry rose up in bed at the first
sight of Ben's face, then held out her
arms.
“ ‘Will!’ she cried. ‘At last! Oh,
Will!’
“Ben caught her in his arms as she
threw herself toward him. ‘Dearest,
dearest! I knew you would come
back,’ she sobbed, her head on his
breast.
“Well, that’s how it was. Betty at
once became perfectly normal in all
other respects, but she could not be
persuaded that Ben was not her dead
husband or that Frankie was her
child. It was awful.
“Even if Betty had been in her
right mind and loved Ben for him
self, he could not have taken Will’s
place and married her. He loved me.
I never realized how much he did
love rue until that time, nor did I
really know until then that I loved
him in return.
“Even now it tortures me to recall
that dreadful time. Things went on
that way for more than three months.
Betty regained her physical strength
very slowly and the doctor kept her
in bed, so it gave us a little time to
think and to try to plan. But there
was no possible plan. Ben went in to
see Betty every day. This was his
part of the torture, for she expected
him to caress her just as Will would
have done. I took care of little
Frankie, with the help of a hired
nurse.
“Even this circumstance compli
cated matters. Seme men are born
fathers, I think, just as some women
are born mothers. Ben was a born
father.
“Finally one night, when Ben found
me sitting with my poor little foster
baby in my lap, he just opened his
big strong arms and took us both in
by main force. I could not help it.
Finally, however, I got enough moral
strength together to pull away, and
with it came the courage to tell Ben
what he must do —go away and stay.
He pleaded with me in away that
shook my very soul, but I held on
somehow. He saw that I meant it
and tljat I could not be changed.
And finally he promised he would go.
“Y’ou see, I could not marry Ben
unless I did what the doctors at last
advised, and even Betty
away in a sanitarium. They held out
no hope that Betty would ever regain
her reason.
“The doctors even admitted that
for Betty to be separated from the
man she thought was her husband
and from me at the same time might
destroy what faint chance she had
left. They only advised this step, I
knew, on my account, and I never
even considered it. I was nursing all
this time, for my money was badly
needed, so badly that I allowed Ben
to pay a few bills and help in some
other ways. He wanted to give me
every cent he had, which at that time
was not much, poor fellow, for he
had barely gotten his first start.
“Will left nothing but the. little
house we lived in, which still was
heavily mortgaged. Ben paid this
mortgage, borrowing on his ranch,
the only thing he owned in the world,
to do it. He did not tell me, knowing
that I would have protested, until the
matter was concluded. That is the
sort of a man he was—the man I
loved.

To Revive Frozen
House Plants
If a house-plant happens to get
frozen during the winter, it should
be removed immediately to a cool,
dark room and drenched with cold
water. The supposition that a paint
should be revived with warm wa
ter and heated air is wrong, as the
treatment must be gradual.
