"Build-Up" Good News
For Suffering Women
Much of women’s periodic dis
tress may be unnecessary!
Many who suffer from headaches,
nervousness, cramp-like pain, other
symptoms of functional dysmenor
rhea due to malnutrition are helped I
by CAR'DUI.
Main way it helps relieve periodic
distress is by increasing appetite
and flow of gastric juice. Thus it
often aids digestion; helps build
strength, energy, resistance to
periodic disturbances.
Others find help for periodic dis
comfort this way: Start a few days
before and take CARDUI until “the
time” has passed. Women have
used CARDUI more than 50 years.

LESSON
A PLEA FOR JUSTICE.
International Sunday School Lesson
for April 7, 1940.
Golden Text: “Hate the evil,
and love the good, and establish
justice in the fate.”—Amos 5:15.
Lesson Text: Amos 5:1, 10-15, 21-24.
With this lesson, we begin a new
series— a study of (the messages of
the prophets. Through the considera
tion of these messages of the Old
Testament prophets, it is hoped that
we might discover their meaning and
value for our times.
About twenty-six centuries ago
Amos wrote one of the earliest books
on prophecy. It was just about a cen
tury after the time of Elijah.
Amos was a shepherd and farmer,
living at Tekoa, a little village six
miles south of Bethlehem. He was
not trained as a prophet and belongs
to that select company of great men
in the Bible who were humble work
ers. Amos cared for a special variety
of sheep and was also a dresser of
sycamore trees, which bore a small
fig. This was pinched to hasten its
ripening. Hence, Amos was a fig
pincher.
The Book of Amos is not very long
but it is our first literary monument
of its kind. The Book, as Rev. George
L. Petrie says, “has not the charm of
‘ poetry, but it has the fascinating pow
er of oratory; an oratory, not of the
schools, but of nature; not ornate,
but rugged. The illustrations of the
Book are objects of nature and scenes
familiar to plainest country life. Os
all the prophetic Books, this is the
one which the plain, unlettered labor
er on the farm, in the field or forest,
may most easily read.”
The author was an able writer,
• however. Prof. Bernhard Duhn says:
“Amos spoke with unpolished plain
ness. But he can handle his language
with a master’s skill; every sentence
, is full of meaning, and every work
strikes the mark. This reforming
soul belongs among the classic wri
ters of Israelite literature.”
Although Amos lived in the country
he understood the life of his age. He
saw the wickedness of the cities when
he carried his products to market, and
j many other evils, as Rev. Bemad C.
■ Clausen enumerates: “Unscrupulous
judges condemned the innocent for
paltry bribes. The rich grasped the
| small possessions of the poor. Prices
were fraudulently increased and meas-
I ures were fraudently diminshed, and
! bad grain was sold as good. The most
i shameful licentiousness was prac
ticed. Idolatry, with its bestial im
moralities, was rampant. Everywhere
Amos saw wasteful luxury and ex
travagance, the more disgraceful in
contrast with the wretched poverty of
the people among whom he lived.”
Amos spoke for social justice and
he uttered a plea which the word has
not heeded yet. He tells those who
have become rich by taking advantage
of their fellowmen that although they
build fine houses, they shall not dwell

Spring is here when motorists dig out the road maps and lay their plans for
seeking the “open road,” and sailors the country over begin their annual
“fitting-out” activities, preparing sleek water craft for the first jaunt of the sea

in them. He condemns without fear
the social evils of his day. “The pas
sion of Amos’ soul is for the estab
lishment of social justice,” says Prof.
J. E. McFadden, “and his denuncia
tions and threats fall upon the heads
of those who frustrate that, whether
by incidental cruelty, or, as here, by
deliberate violation of the principles
of equity in the courts of justice. The
worst offenders were those who poi
soned justice as its source, who
by their venal decisions made it a bit
ter thing for the poor man when it
ought to have been sweet, and who
laid righteousness prostrate upon the
ground when she ought to have been
erect and smiling.”
He seeks to make the religion of
Israel a sincere one. Speaking for Je
hovah he tells them fb, “seek good
and not evil” and, with emphasis,
“■hate the evil and love the good.” As
for the formal religious ceremonies he
points out that these mean nothing
unless the people live righteously.
Outward, formal worship will not be
accepted by God and he appeals to
his hearers to “let justice roll down
as waters and righteousness as a
mighty stream.” The preaching of
Amos was not appreciated by the
king and the priests of Israel and
they sent Amos back home where he
wrote his immortal little book.
The writings of Amos are immor
tal words,” says J. E. McFadden;
“they express in imperishable form
the essence of religion, the simple de
mands of God upon men. The justice,
the righteousness for which Amos
here pleads, is a social thing; it is ten
der regard for the poor, hatred of the
evil conditions that have devastated
their lives; it is the spirit which
yearns and works for the removal of
those conditions; it is, in a word, re
spect for personality, fair play as be
tween man and man. Let justice, in
that sense, run through society, unim
peded by avarice or selfishness or
cruelty, let it roll on without let or
hindrance like the waves of the sea.”

Infant Mortality Serious
In State, Director Says
Georgia’s declining birth rate of
fers no cause for alarm, but the in
creasing mortality among infants is
far more serious, declared Dr. T. F.
Abercrombie, director of the state de
partment of public health.
Georgia’s birth rate for the five
year period ending in 1938 was 20.6
per I,COO population, as compared
with 17 for the country as a whole.
The white birth rate in the state was
19.2, and the negro rate 23.1.
Os 319,651 babies born alive in Geor
gia during the five-year period, 20,-
650 died before reaching their first
birthday. Many of these deaths could
have been prevented, Dr. Abercrom
bie declared, if there had been suf
ficient funds to provide prenatal, ma
terial, infant and pre-school medical
service to every mother and child.
