3. The Summarizing of Contents.
The following is suggestive:
Lesson I. John the Baptist was a
humble and courageous man. He did
not take honor to himself nor trim his
message to suit the crowd.
Lesson II. Mary should not be wor
shiped, but she is worthy of great
honor. Her faith made her to ac
quiesce in the Lord’s will in spite of
the fact that she knew that her char
acter would be suspected.
Lesson III. Peter, while being fickle
and cowardly, is a fine example of
the transforming power of God’s grace.
Lesson IV. John the apostle was a
reticent man. He did not say much
about himself, but was passionately
In love with ids Lord.
Lesson V. Matthew, though hum
ble, was n man of force of character
and decision. He left all and followed
Jesus.
Lesson VI. Mary Magdalene, be
cause she was saved, was steadfast in
her devotion to the Lord. Because of
this, she was able to tell the good
news of the resurrection to the dis
couraged disciples.
Lesson VII. Mary and Martha botli
loved the Lord. Martha was mistaken
as to the best way to please Him.
Mary chose the good part in fellow
ship with her Lord which has made
her name immortal.
Lesson VIII. Stephen was so com
pletely filled with Christ that his face
shone as the face of an angel.
Lesson IX. Barnabas was a good
man and filled with the Holy Ghost.
Therefore, lie was qualified as a lead
er of men.
Lesson X. Paul’s knowledge of
Jesus was so real that he had as his
supreme aim to magnify Him.
Lesson XI. Mark, though having
turned back from the work, was re
stored and became a great :yid hon
ored minister of Christ.
Lesson XII. Luke, the skilled and
popular physician, gave himself up to
be the attendant of the missionary of
the cross.
Lesson xni. Because of Timothy’s
religious training, he became a worthy
minister of the gospel.
Corner Stone of Society.
The sanctity of marriage and the
family relation make the corner stone
of our American society and civiliza
tion.—Garfield.
Our Enemy,
A merely fallen enemy may rise
again, but the reconciled one is truly
vanquished.—Schiller.
Hatred.
When our hatred is violent, it sinks
us even beneath those we hate.—La
Rochefoucauld.

F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio
Biloxi, Miss.—“I had, for a year or
more, nervous indigestion, or some form
of stomach trouble," says Mrs. Alonzo
Ford, 1117 Clay Street, this city. "The
water I drank at that time seemed to
constipate me. I would suffer until I got
so nervous I wanted to get down on the
floor and roll. 1 felt like I could tear
my clothes.
"Every night, and night after night, 1
had to take something for a laxative, and
it had to be kept up nightly. My side
would pain. I looked awful. My skin
was sallow and seemed spotted. I would
look at my hands and arms, and the flesh
looked lifeless.
"1 happened to get a Birthday Almanac,
so I told my husband I would try the
Black-Draught, which I did. I took a
few big doses. I felt much better. My
liver acted well. I made a good, warm
(eaand drank it that way. Soon I found
that nervous, tight feeling was going, as
was the pain in my side. I found 1 did not
have to take it every night. Soon , after
a few weeks, 1 could leave it off for a
week or so, and 1 did not suffer with
constipation... I gained flesh. I have a
good color, and believe it was a stubborn
liver, and that Black-Draught did the
work.
"I went to my mother's (Mrs. Deeters)
one day, and she wasn’t well at all. .. I
told her we’d try Black-Draught We
did, and now she keeps it to take after
eating. It certainly helped her, and we
neither will be without it in our homes.
It is so simple, and the dose can bd
regulated as the case may be. We OSC
small doses after meals for indigestion,
and larger doses for headache or bod
liver."

icine is for sale everywhere. | «|
