A constantly increasing number of p'nY

it has proven its merits so thoroughly tha.
.even the doctors have overcome theiu
prejudice against so-called patent. medi
cines and recommend it to their patients.
Peruna occupies a unique position in
medical science. It is the only internal
systemic catarrh remedy' known to the
-medical profession to-day. Catarrh, as
every one wi: admit, is the cause of one
half the diseases which afflict mankind.
Catarrh and catarrhal diseases afflict one

Catarrh is a systemic disease curable
only by systemic treatment. A remedy
that cures catarrh must aim directly at
the depressed nerve centres. This is what
Peruna does.
Peruna immediately invigorates the
nerve-eentres which gives vitality to the
mucous membranes. Then catarrh dirap
-pears. Then catarrh is permanently cured.

Dog Cemetery a Failure.
All Souls' day in Paris revealed the
fact that the dog cemetery.' estab
lished here four years ago, has proved
a dismal failure. Only a few wreaths
and several bunches of chrysanthe
mums ornamented the tombs on the!
solemn day, and the. few visitors to
the cemetery seemed afrid of being
seen paying - their respects to the
graves of their deceased~ pets.

it were only a transition in theolo,v it
-ould not iistnri us mnrh. We could ,
ave the theologians to study the theo'o;y
the future fQr themselves. Tut it is a:so e
transition in religious experience. I an d
ire that the older members of this con. tiu
:egation can trace in their lives, more or Ph
ss. a change. not simp:y in their inielieot- I1
i opinions of religion, but in their rea,ly h
ital religious experience. We used to fu
iink. in our boyhood. of God as Kin" n
tting on the Great Whiie Throne, with d
2e angels eathered about Him and singing to
Him. He was far awav. We sent our at
ravers up to Him by a kind of spiritual ou
ireless teleraphy. asking for things. and a
>metimes He would give us those things H
ad sometimes He would not. But this w(
-as our experience of prayer. and that was B
ar notion of the answer to prayer: and th
iis faraway God, sitting on the Great 2i
hite Throne. had revealed Himself to, th
en through the Bible and through the Hi
hrist. It was a great historic revelat'on. c
rid we went back, more or less conscions or
f that revelation of the faraway God in
1ie faraway historic time. and we went to
iat Bib!e to find out what it told us re
Decting God's law, of what was required
f its, and the things with respect to
'ad's ;;race, 'what He would do for us. ::ndl
oith many of us that experience has not
hanged. The picture of the great Kinc
as grown dim and indistinct, or (lisap- se
eared altogether, and reriains. if it re
tains at all, as a recog,ized nicture and in
ot a reality. And that Christ. who ]
tems to us a mediator between (;od*and Ca
can, a revelation of the faraway Cod. has ar
so grown faraway. That is, we have ar
me to recognize that He is a great his- si
ric figure, and we are, more or less. per- be
lexed as to what His revelation is of the
traway God, and what .His relation to us re
, and our pravers have changed and our th
:nception of the Bible has changed. and th
-e can no longer take a text out of the a
ible and rest upon it as a final and abso- th
ite authority. If we try, perhaps some an
aeceed and some fall. '
What I do want this morning is to 5t
int out. not what has taken p:ace, but to it
dicate the goal toward which this transi
on should lead us; what is the Promi,ed it
and toward which we should look: what it
the religious experience we may hope it
>r in the future to take the place of this hc
ligious experience of the nast. that ha'
-own dim and indistinct and which is orly p
alf believed. In the first place, I am sure Cl
iat, while we have been undergoing this hi
tange, forces without the church have be
een bringii:g to us a larger. if a vaguer
mception of God. God does not work
alv through the chrrch; He doec not or
e'ak only through the nireacher. Religionti
not a spiritnial conduit through which T
'ie water of life is broug'it down to man. o
he grace of God does :iout co:nue i-1 nar- h
cular channels of grace alone. The Thole

Perfect and Not Perfect.
little calm reflectior. and careful study
the Bible woulr' relieve many persons
needless pcrp:P-itv in regard to the use
the term perfection as applie< to the
ristian.
Every true Christian is perfect in the
ise of being a real Christian, and of hav
; all those things which are essential to
nstitute him a Christian. If any part is
king he is not a whoie-a perfect
ristian. What these parts are wh:ch
e nec:-ssary to constitute one i perfect
ristiah it is not now my purpose to con
ter. It is to the necessity of all ports
ing present in order to the being of the
i Christian that I call your attention.
ke a you-g horse for an illustration., If
ere is a foot missing. an eye injured or
y other nart damaged or lacking. we
nnot say it is a perfect horse. But if all
e necessary parts are there, although the
irial may be ybnng and untrained, we
r it is perfect. Sut there is a perfection
has not reached. It is to grow. to learn,
develon and so- go on unto perfection.
may live to rea i a noint beyond which
cannot grow or 4evelop. It has reached
perfection. It s a perfect horse when
was young and mall. It is a perfect
rse, now it has reached its maturity or
rfection.
rhe case is somewhat similar with the
ristian. When the sinner believed with
heart and received the Holy Ghost he
came a Christian. ge had all the parts
cessary and in this sense was complete
perfect. But lhe is young. weak. immia
e and needs to go on unto perfection.
is perfection is before him in the person
the man Christ Jesus. and lie at once
nmenes to seek to be like Christ. All
life long he may ;be developing and
ing on unto this perfetion. Indeed, no
e will reach a time or a place where he
x say ''I am so much like the Lord Jesus
it there is no further room for me to
vance. I have reached perfection."
n order to see this matter muore pimly
is necessary to remember I am not re
-ring to the holiness of the Christian.
hether he has just begun to he a Caris
n, or has been serving the Lord faith
for many vears and has made much
gress toward perfection. the true Cnips
n is "cleansed from all sin," and havmig
Spirit of Christ. is hio:y in his character
God is holv. Holiness-real personal
liness is an~ essential attribute of the
ristian.
rowing out of the above is also another
t which must be borne in mind. 2nd
it is. the true Christian is ready to die
ary time. and is just as nuch entitled
a home among the redeem'd in heaven
he die when just converted as when he
.v become very advanced. His title and
less rest in the fact of his relation to
atonement. "He that beieveth hiath

FOR JANUARY 15.
Subject: Jesus Wine His First Disciples,
John 1., 35-51-Golden Text, John 1.,
45-Memory Verses. 40, 41-Commen
tary on the Day's Lesson.
I. John 'directs two diseipls to Jesus
(vs. 35-39). 35. "The next day." There
were three days of testimony of .ohu to
Jesus: 1. To the deputation from the
Sanhedrin (vs. 19-28). 2. Publicly, to the
people (vs. 29-34). 3. Privately, to two
disciples (vs. 35-37). "John stood." "Was
standing." R. V. "Two of His disciples."
Andrew (v. 40) and John. the author of
this book, who modestly avoids using. his
own name.
36. "And looking." John fixed his eyes
upon Him, singling Him out and regarding
Him with special attention. "Behold the
Lamb of God." (The R. V. puts a comma
after behold; an interjection, not a verb).
All the lambs hitherto offered had been
furnished by men; this one was provided
by God, as the only sufficient sacrifice for
the sin of the world. Hi, words would be
to them equivalent to a command to fol
low him. How faithful John was in his
office as forerunner! le did not think of
his own honor or popularity, but, conscious
that he must decrease, he is anxious to
have his followers become true disciples
of Christ.
37. "They followed Jesus." They un
derstood John's meaning and immediately
did as they were directed. It would be
well if all would immediately follow Christ.
We should follow Him as our Redeemer,
PE'attern, Guide and Shepherd. They may
not have intended to leave John's leader
ship permanently. 3S. "Jesus turnc-d.'
He was ready to give them a hearty wel
come. "What seek ye?" What is your
desire or request' Jesus knew they were
seeking Him, for He knows all hearts, but
He desired tome expression from them.
"Rabbi." A Jewish title of honor for men
of learning, meaning "teacher. "master."
Thus they at once recognized His super
iority and their ignorance. "Where dwell
est 'Thou?'' "Where art Thou staying?"
He had no permanent place of abode in
this locality.
39. "Come and see." A kind invitation
to them to go with Him to His place of
abode. "The tenth hour." St. John was
so iipressed with the first interview with
Jesus that he remembered the hour.
II. Several other disciples called (vs.
40-46).
40. "One-was Andrew." A name of
Greek origin signifying "man." He be
longed to Bethsaida (v. 44), and was a
disciple of John the Baptist. He resided
afterward at Capernaum (Mark 1:29). The
other was John, the writer of this account.
"Peter's brother." And the elder of the
two. The bestowment of this. designatiott
on Andrew shows that this gospel was
written when Peter's name was widely
recogr]ized. 41. "He findeth first'' (R.
V.) It is supposed that at the tame time
Andrew went to find his brother Simon,
John also went and found his brother
James and brought him to Christ but An
drew f.>und his brother first. This was a
true missionary spirit. God's salvation is
so good that those who experience His love
are always anxious to bring others into the
same holy relation. "Found the Messias."
He speaks exulting:y. Aroused by John's
faithful testimony concerning the coming
Messiah they were ready to receive Him
when they. saw a few true marks of His
Messiahship. "Being interpreted." Mes
sias is the Hebrew word and Christ is its
Greek interpretation.
42. "Brought him." Andrew thrice
brings others to Jesus: 1. Simon. 2. The
lad with the loaves (chap. 6:8. 9). 3.
Certain Grc2,ks (John 12:20-22). In these
three tncidents John gives the key to his
character. "Beheld him." Jesus at once
knew Simon better than Simon knew him
self. "Cephas-stone." Petros, or Peter,
has the same me .ning in Greek that Ce
phas has in Syriac. Tfhe- name was given
him to describe his character, which wvas
"stiff, hardy and resolute." The new name,
referring to character, is a promise that
fitfulness shall be changed to steadfastness.
43. "The day following." 'This, according
to Farrar, was the fourth day after His
return from the w~ilderness. Jesus started
on His return to Galilee. and "on thne jour
niey fell in with another young fisherman,
Philip of Bethsaida." "Follow Me." This
command, issued only by our Lord Him
self. was addressed to but one outside the
circle of the ap)ostles. the rich young man
whom JTesus loved (Mark 10:21).
44. "Bethsaida." "The house of nets,"
so called because inhabited by fishermen.
Tnere were two places by this name. 45.
"Nathanael." Elsewhere called Bartholo
mew. He lived at Cana in Galilee. whcere
our Lord per-formedi His first miracle. -'Of
whom Moses---and the prophets did write."
See Gen. 3:15: 22:18: Deut. 18:18: Isa. 4:2;
7:14; Jer. 23:5: Ezek. 34:23: Dan. 9:24;
Micahi 5:2; Zech. 6:12; Mal. 3:1. 46.
"Good-out of Nazareth.'' The question
sprang from mere dre-ad of mistake in a
matter so vital. H-e knew that Bethle
hem (Micah 5:2) and not Nazare'th was to
be the birthplace of the Messiah. It nas
usually been cor.sidered that is answer
wans proverbial. but it may m9rely hnave im
pied.. "Nazareth. that obscurc and ill-re
puted tow-n in its little, untrodden valley
can anything good come from thence?"
Nathanal's objections arose from ignor
ance. "Come and see." 'The same reply
givern by Jesus (v. '19). Philip could not
sove the difficulty, but lie could show Na
thanael how to get rid of it.
III. Chnrist's interview with Nathanael
(vs. 47-51). 47. "No guile.'' The expres
sionI implies a true heart, a real-y conv'ert
ed! man, a genuine son of Abraham by
faith, as well as a son according to the
flesh. 48. "Under tine fig tree." The
Jewish writers often speak of the shade
of the fig tree as the place of meditation
and prayer. Probably it was in some such
spot, secluded from the human eye of
Jesus. that Nathanael wo-n his title of
Israelite, by prevailing prayer with God.
49. 'Thou art," etc. The:-e words are
the c--b-urst of a heart convinced at once
tkat Jesus was the Mcssiah. 'We can
hardly suppose that Nathanael clearly un
derstood the nature of Christ's kingdom
at this time. but that he sawv that Jesus,
was the Christ we cannot doubt. 50.
"Greater things." Thou shalt see far
geater proofs of My divinity and Messiah
hip. 51. "Verily, verily." The double
"verily," used twenty-five tnmes in this
gospel atnd nowhere else. introduces truths
of great importance. "Heaven open," etc.
The ladder which JTacob saw (Gen. 28:12)
v-es at eyrr.b' of the ie,rcear.:e which
w;ould i> opa ned betmen heaven and
earth in the new dispensation. Prayers
and holy intercession phould ascend;
blessings and holy communions, revela
tions, miracles. powvers and gifts of the
Holy Ghost should descend: blessings of
which angels are hbut the meescngers and
symbol-s. "Son of Man." 'This expression
is used about eighty times in the four gos
pels by Christ of IHimself as tine Messiah.
