Thine Ears Shall
Hear
By REV. H. O.STUOM, I). D.
Extension Department, Moody
Bible Institute, Chicago.
TEXT.—Thnie ears shall hear a word
behind thee, saying. This is the way.—Isa.
j 30:20. »
Our heaven or our hell hang upon
the words "1 come” or "1 go." It is a
question of heed¬
ing the call to
turn about and
come in the right
direction. Head¬
ed in the wrong
direction, Judah
may yet hope tu
God’s call to the
right paths. Like
them of tiiat day,
we also may hear
His call.
the call preceues the turning about,
it is while the back is toward Gotl
that the call is given. We talk much
about seeking God, let us realize that
God seeks us. When the face is to¬
ward hell, then, the voice that would
call us back, the only voice that could
successfully call us back, is His voice.
That “Come back" of God’s is our
basis for hope.
The Great Supper in the parable is
a supper ready, the call to partake is
given and the only hindrance is man’s
make shift of excuses. God’s prepared¬
ness is everywhere apparent. Would
He create the fish to swim? Then,
water is made beforehand. He seems
to say. ‘‘The water is ready, now let
the fish disport himself in it." Would
He create the cow? Then, grass is
ready beforehand, as if He had said,
"The pasture is prepared, now eat and
live.”
Hut did He create us? Did He give
us to live on the earth? Then, long be¬
forehand the provision for our salva¬
tion was made, the Gospel call was
given; and by many instruments in
His hand He has sought us to save us.
Think of the prayers uttered while we
were listening, from the time of earli¬
est memory. Think of sermons and
hymns and Scripture announced to
our infant ears. And since the days
of our responsibility what calling has
been given. Come back, come hack!
it has sounded over our devious paths
during the self-will of youth, and it is
still sounding.
But to hear it! Natural deafness is
afflictive, but when a man stops his
ears by use of the tangles of a per¬
verse will, that is abusive. One may
have an open ear to the voice of ap¬
petite or of passion, or to the tempta¬
tions of the devil, with a closed ear
to God. Like one who might hear all
confusing sounds hut who never hears
music, lie misses tin- voice of mercy
calling him to pardon and peace. O,
listen! Listen to God!
Because the call of God is from be¬
hind, sinful man must turn about.
Facing toward ruin you must turn
toward God. Think what you travel
toward. All that Godlessness can do
now and in eternity is before or with¬
in the man who runs away from God.
Pictures of darkness and storm may
describe the present life of such, but
who can imagine the “blackness of
darkness forever" and the storm of
"indignation and wrath, tribulation
and anguish” in that eternity t<> which
lie hastens?
Think too, to wliat Ute soul travels
who hears the call of God from be¬
hind lilnn and accepts salvation In the
Blood of Christ. He turns to Him who
offers him ten thousand welcomes. He
■comes to receive the gift of “Newness
of Life.” It is abundant life. It is
abundant with all that endures. The
joy of the Lord is there and the being
kept by God’s power is in It. Before
him is everlasting glory, and glory
with honor. His face is toward home.
We can determine which way we
are going by the direction of the call.
And, sure it Is, that our answer to the
call, when it is "I am going,” is hell
ward : when it is, “1 am coming,” then
it is heavenward. The wayward go¬
ings of the many years may end in a
moment with the soul’s resolve—“J
come.”
Preparation of the Gospel Peace.
Fears flourish in mean communions.
And so it is with worries, which are
the prolific children of fear. They
all grow fat and strong when life is
lived in small and confined circles,
and is bereft of air and vision. Foul
things breed in closed rooms. There Is
something very fusty, something
strongly inclining to sickliness and
fainting in a chamber which never
receives cleansing, vitalizing visits
from the air of larger worlds. And so
it Is with thP soul. The spirit grows
faint and timid when we have no com¬
munion with the breath of God. But
when we face our perils in communion
with the Lord our timidities are trans¬
formed. our uncertainties vanish, and
our slipping feet are steadied by being
shod with “the preparation of the
gospel of peace."
The Way of Wickedness.
How these lives of ours are knit up
with many other lives, and no sin is
committed but that it brings suffering
and tears to some loving heart. It is
true, indeed, that no man liveth unto
himself, and no man dieth unto him¬
self, and no man sinneth unto him¬
self. We are laying up in store heavy
sorrows for those who love us best
when we go deliberately the way of
wickedness. If fathers and sons could
in advance exercise a bit of moral
imagination as to the effect of wrong
doing on each other, it would save
them from much sorrow and remorse
in years to come.

Calomel is mercury; quicksilver. It
crashes Into sour bile like dynamite,
cramping and sickening you. Calomel
attacks the bones and should never he
put into your system.
If you feel bilious, headachy, consti¬
pated and ail knocked out, just go to
your druggist and get a bottle of Dod¬
son’s Liver Tone for a few cents which
is a harmless vegetable substitute for
dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful
arid if it doesn’t start your liver and
straighten you up better and quicker
than nasty calomel and without making
you sick, you just go back and get your
money.
Don’t take calomel! It makes you
sick flip next day ; it loses you a day’s
work. Dodson’s Live*- Tone straightens

salts necessary. Give it to the children
because it is perfectly harmless and

INNOCENT CALLED FIRST POPE
Why the Successor of Anastasius Has
the Best Rinht to Be So
Considered.
Concerning the first pope of the
Homan Catholic church. W. Ernest
Beet in his "Rise of the Papacy,” says:
"In the year 402 Anastasius died, and
was succeeded by Innocent I„ upon
whose mind appears first distinctly to
have dawned the vast conception of
Home's universal ecclesiastical suprem¬
acy. dim as yet and shadowy, yet full
and comprehensive in its outline; Ids
claims were indeed such, and so far
made good, as to justify us in ap¬
plying to him the title of pope, tlie
earliest Homan bishop that can with
propriety he so called.
“The position of high authority to
which he attained was, no doubt, in
part achieved by Innocent’s own high
moral qualities and strength of will,
but not by any means entirely so;
circumstances were entirely in Ins
favor, and the course of public events
was such as inevitably to strengthen
the seat of the bishop by undermining
the throne of Caesar, and by driving
him from the ancient imperial capital."
THERE IS VIGOR
IN RICH BLOOD
Pepto-Mangan in Liquid or Tab¬
lets—a Blood Builder.
Vigor and strength have as their
base rich red blood. Blood is rich when
there are plenty of red corpuscles.
They are flip tiny red cells which swim
In blood and give It its color. Without
red corpuscles blood would he white.
When overwork, or straining, or ill¬
ness weakens the blood, it diminishes
the number of red cells. Without a
sufficient number of red cells the blood
becomes watery, the body weak. Vigor
and strength fall off, so that physical
life diminishes like a fading plant. The
physical pleasures of eating and sleep¬
ing and exercise lose nil attraction.
There is no zest in living.
After Guile’s Pepto-Mangan has been
taken for a while the blood becomes
rich with red cells. They help to nour¬
ish the entire system. With good blood
at work there is a great difference in
living. Bating, sleeping and exercise
are enjoyed. All druggists sell Gude's
Pepto-Mangan. Advertisement.

“Do you think the public fully un¬
derstands your speeches on tills rather

“I didn't make ’em,” confided Sen¬

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney or bladder trouble and never
suspect it.
Women’s complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy con¬
dition, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the back, head¬
ache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous, irrita¬
ble and may be despondent; it makes any
one so.
But hundreds of women claim that Dr.
Kilmer’s Swamp-Hoot, by restoring
health to the kidneys, proved to be just
tiie remedy needed to overcome such
conditions.
Many send for a sample bottle to see what
Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and
bladder medicine, will do for them. By

MARRIAGE IN OTHER LANDS
Quite a Prosaic Affair in Turkey—
Scandinavian Couples Had to
Show Vaccination Marks.
Marriage in Turkey is a very pro¬
saic affair, h being in a majority of
cases quite a business matter. When
a man wishes to wed, ids parents ob¬
tain a lisi of houses where eligible
girls are to lie found, and the mother
then calls at these.
“'Vital can your daughter do?” site
asks, whereupon embroideries, car¬
pets, nigs, etc., are exhibited as evi¬
dence of tile girl's handiwork. If
these are approved by the mother, she
takes the goods home to her son and
induces him to marry the clever young
woman.
If. on the other hand, she does not
think much of the work, site makes
some diplomatic excuse, .and passes
on to another house on the list. If,
however, the young man is not liked
by the girl's parents, the mother is
advised to seek elsewhere.
In Sweden and Norway, a legal
marriage at one time was not al¬
lowed to he solemnized until both par¬
ties lmd produced certificates stating
that they bore genuine vaccination
marks.
