Y.—Preaching at the Irving Square Presbyterian Church on the theme. ‘Loyalty to the Truth,” the Rev. I. Vt: Henderson, pasto;, took as his text I. Kings 22:14: ' And Mieaiah said, as the Lord !i• - eth, what the Lord saith unto me, that will I speak.” He said: The four hundred false prophets were mere flatterers. They inter¬ preted and delivered the oracles to suit the king’s whim. They paid small attention to the measure of truth that their judgment contained. If they. discovered wrong, they kept quiet about it. If they foresaw evil, they were equally silent. To be op¬ timistic was to be popular. Self-in¬ terest dictated that they should re¬ turn to the king good omens or none. Pessimistic prophesies landed a man in prison; and since Ahab wanted to be coddled and cajoled and flattered, they humored him to the best of their ability and to his full capacity. They were optimistic patriots. Therefore they were favorites at court. Ahab hated Mieaiah because he spoke the truth as it came to him direct from God. The monarch dis¬ liked premonitions of future evil and demonstrations of existing sin. He preferred a fancied security to defi¬ nite knowledge of conditions as they were. As Ahab complained to Je hoshaphat, Mieaiah prophesied not good, but evil; and £ 91 - that reason he was heartily happy to jail him. Mieaiah might easily have taken the advice of the king’s officer and become one of the lying multitude. He might, with profit to himself in the eyes of Ahab, have reiterated in earnest, rather than in sarcasm falsifiers* as lie did, the prophecy of the Self-preservation and the hope of self-advancement might, imaginably, have led him to have given the king just the answer for which his heart yearned. The profit from the king’s pleasure was at hand and within sight, the Lord would forgive him quicker than the monarch. Many a man has argued that way. But to Mieaiah the truth was more precious than the benedictions of his ruler, the favor of Jehovah was more satis¬ fying than were the praises of any man. “As the Lord liveth, what the Lord saith unto me, that will 1 speak,” he says; and his wort’s are an inspiration to the men of America as they mark out the strict line of duty we should follow in our time. Too many of us lack the fidelity of Mieaiah because we-fear unpopu¬ larity. Cowardice supplants courage in no few hearts that are aglow with a vision of the truth because men dare not defy the disfavor of the Ahabs of to-day. Smug self-salisfa r - tion cries down the leader who would point, the wrong; and above all, right it. Optimistic patriots in the church and out of it, with no eye save for the glowing, lustrous surface which hides a central life bitten deep with sin, decry as pessimistic the man who paints the evil as it is. Self-glorification is easier than self-examination. There is more pleasure for the crowd in recounting their achievements than in clarifying the central springs of life, and in analyzing the depth and the conse¬ quences of their iniquity. It fakes less brains to state the achievements already accomplished than it does to investigate and determine the sure¬ ness and stability of the foundations upon which success is built. It is easier upon the head to relate blithe¬ ly the unexampled progress of your country or your church or your fam¬ ily or yourself in the attainment of material advantages, than it is to de¬ cide whether or no the gain was made righteously and in the fear of God. and whether or no it wiil result in future happiness and helpfulness for all concerned. It is far more satis factory, from the point of view of the opportunist, to take things as they are and to make the best of them. No man really likes to unearth sin; it isn't nice work and it is dirty. But to bury the victims doesn't stop the epidemic. To congratulate oneself upon the amount of water in the reservoir, and upon the power and efficiency of the pumps at the water works, in no way diminishes the heat of the fever. In these days we want and hail men of mind and of action who will look for the hid¬ den germs of disease. Then, in our desire to acclaim them we forget the days when, in spite of the self-satis the ignorant, the careless, the wicked, they proclaimed the certainty of our distress and disease; then we forget that those man whom we re¬ viled as pessimists are our saviors; then we forget the years of research and of patient study into conditions as they were, we forget the premon ishments of our fools grow wise, in onr anguish at. the situation as it is. I say we forget. I may be wrong, Perhaps we only then remember. We must have Micaiahs, men of loyalty to the truth at all hazards and at any cost, 1:0 less to-day than in the year that Ahab and Jebosba pliat went against the Avameans at Ramoth-Gilead. Our age.-our coup. try. the church has need, will' and a great need, for men who speak forth what the Lord saith unto them. To be sure those “who are folding their arm* in selfish ease” will declare then . as they did the Garrisons, the PhilTpses of the sixties, anarchists and fit subjects for the gallows. The man who would battle with the social evil to the death and declare the wisdom and the truth of God unto a white life for two sexes will find detractors and enemies on every hand. He who will annihilate the monster of intemperance and of legal ized iniquity will. I am much per suaded. find adherents of the devil even within the sacred precincts of the church of Jesus Christ. That economic Isaiah who shall try the truth of God against the entrenched forces of gold-greedy materialists, in tbe interest of the men who toil, will find a fearful and unrelenting array against him. He who will protect labor against itself will be forced to combat with evil men among those whom he wishes to uplift. But while a man may with less timidity advance new thought in the scientific world, in no place will he find, many times, a more uncompromising resistance than in the church. Be it for good or ill the simplg fact is this, that no¬ where has new light, a harder fight than among many who are the fol¬ lowers of riim who was the essence of all truth and who prayed the gift of the Spirit for them that they might have a sure guide into the fullness of eternal wisdom. The fight of the church of God against truth is the amazing spectacle of the ages. The odds against truth to-day are tremendous; but even as Ahab never returned to the city of his rule, so surely shall eternal and refining truth conquer in the age long struggle with the adversary. Two things are necessary that truth nily win and be accredited. First, we must be sure that our in¬ sight is correct, our truth born of God. And then we must be loyal to the voice of Jehovah as He speaks to us. There is nothing more detrimental to the dignity and standing of the truth than irrational and ill-balanced thought. Every bit of truth is the word of God, but some statements which are caricatures of truth are not. God-given, 110 matter how loudly and how iong they may claim the distinc¬ tion of divine inspiration. AU truth may well be labeled, “thus saith the Lord,” but all statements that bear the motto, “thus saith the Lord,” are not truth. There are false prophets to-day no less than in the reign of Ahab. He who will declare a mes¬ sage to men must first be sure of his ground. . Not less important is it that a man be loyal to the truth revealed to ?:im through the workings of God’s Holy Spirit. Truth may negative most of his own ideas and cherished pre¬ conceptions. It may even subordi¬ nate his noblest ideals. But by it he must stand. Mieaiah went to prison for the truth and Jesus of Nazareth to the cross. Stephen was stoned by his enemies, as was Zechariah, the son of Jehoiada, the priest, because he was faithful to the truth. John the Baptist lost his head for declar¬ ing that Herod had lost his. Luther withstood a church and the Smith field martyrs suffered agony that truth might be supreme. The long list of heretics and excommunicated, the host of those who have lost life and friends, the army of those cru¬ saders who, under God, have battled hard with sin—all testify to the need, the glory of loyalty to divine truth. It is no easy thing to lead in the march of progress or to fight the forces of evil. Conservatism would clutch progress by the throat and throttle it to the rattle. Sin hates the light and would overcome It. But whether or no the opposition he fierce we need and must have men who will be firm for the truth and not flinch in the hot fight. “There is.” we are told, “no more hazardous enterprise than that of bearing the torch of truth into those dark and infested recesses in which no light lias ever shone.” But to that man who. filled with power by the Spirit of the Lord, will speak what the Lord 2 . 1 unto him there will be not ■< the hard warfare on the firs t line of the skirmish here, but the the crown of victory in the life eter nal. More and more the need is for men of the mold of Mlcaiah; men to whom the truth is more precious than much fine gold; men whose integrity | is indivisible; man whose opinions are the judgments of minds that j have been movgd upon by the blessed Spirit of the living God. who cannot ( be bought, and who, filled with a j | high and a holy devotion to their divine commission as the revealers, interpreters and torch-bearers of God’s illuminating truth will balk at no sacrifice; and be overawed by no op¬ position; and be diverted by no power from the declaration and the promul¬ gation of that truth. Oh, that there might arise through¬ out this land men of the vision and the fidelity of the prophets of ancient Israel. Would that there might ari 3 e among the ministers of the Lord to¬ day a prophet of Jahwe, Jehovah the Lord of hosts and of truth; a prophet with a message and with the power to express it tersely, intelligently, forcefully, fearlessly. May God give us a Mieaiah who shall tell America the truth concerning the conditions of to-day. The people, in the church and out of it, are weary and undesir ous of platitudes and of unaimed ver¬ biage. Mankind awaits a prophet of God. And when he comes in the plenitude of wisdom and of power; furnished with a divine commission; i endued with a mission and a mes¬ j sage for a world in sin, may the !* , oreh , , have the ...... insight and , the grace 1 s39 ta ? ™ rks of God s calling in blm and h ' 3 "J®” 1 i* P »,: secute , him as did the fa.ners the t , propt'Cas of God afor 6 ime. :* s the Lord !

It would bo a stupid as well as savage thing to beat a weary or starved man because he lagged in his work. So in treating the lagging, torpid liver it is a great mistake to lash it with strong drastic drugs. A torpid liver is but an indication of an ill-nourished, enfeebled body whose organs are weary with over¬ work. Start with the stomach and allied organs of digestion and nutrition. Put them in working order and see how quicklv your liver will bccomo active. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has made many marvelous cures of "liver trouble” by its wonderful control of the organs of digestion and nutrition. It re¬ stores the normal activity of the stomach, increases the secretions of the blood-mak¬ ing glands, cl >anses the system from poi¬ sonous accumulations, and so relieves the liver of the burdens imposed upon it by the defection of other organs.
