A HEALTHY OLD AGE OFTENTHEBESTFARTOFLIFE Help for Women Passing Through Change of Life Providence has allotted us each at least seventy years in which to fulfill our mission in life, and it is generally our own fault if we die prematurely. &AfisMary~oehn Nervous exbaustion invites disease. This statement is the positive truth. When everything becomes a burden and you cannot walk a few blockcs with out excessive fatigue, and you break out into perspiration easily, and your face flushes, and you grow excited and shaky at the least provocation, and you cannot bear to be crossed in any thing, you are in danger ; your nerves have given out ; you need building up at. once !

A SCHOLARLY SUNDAY SERMON I OR. LOUIS ALBERT BANKS. Subject: The Conpassion of Christ. Brooklyn. N. Y.-Dr. Louis Al Banks, at one time pastor of the s son Place M. E. Church, where he most successful. preached therei day morning on "The Christ Iis Touebed With the Feeling of n firmities." Tie text was fro, brews iv:15. "We have not ~ priest ;vhich cannot be toucbwitl the feeling of our infirmities.. was in all pouits tempted as wee, yet without sin." Dr. Banks sai "The last part of this tekplains the first. Christ is in sens touch with us in the temptationid trials of life because He has penally ex perienced them. He is n stranger standing off on the.rampo - e en, looking down, thougt be ever so benevolently, upon sos and dif ficulties which He has ver person ally known. Such corssion could not mean much to But Jesus Christ perfected Him as the cap tain of our salvation tugh suffering. For three and thirtyears He wore our flesh, and tasted: grief, and He is touched with the ig of our in firmities. How mi that ought to mean to us. When! are in any trial or trouble, and weed comfort, it is not to the most joys and happy, who have never know'vhat sorrow was. to whom we go 4 sympathy. ''Some fears aJ .was surprised to eceioe from a " rich man in a city where I was th pastor a check for i large sum ofIoney which he said be wished me use among the poor n my part of e city. and especially imong childr who were- having a lard time of I followed his direc ions and gav.m an account of how mortions of i vere used.

She had to work er-.ard. but work as hard as she o1d she was unable to procure negh food and clothing to give us rfort all the time. For two or ree years I knew what it was to be ngry.

Then the tears came o the big man's eye and one rolled ton his cheek as he said: 'Now you ow why I have so much sympathy the poor children. It makes me .ver on a cold night when I think the boys and girls who have not thing enough to keep them warm. r I have been in their place, and I ovw how it feels. I know how a boy ds when he is hungry and cold. and, d helping me, I shall never lose a ince to help a boy or a girl that is a hard place.' 'As I listened to this big-hearted tn there came into my mind the ripture we are studying. He was le to sympathize with and comfort iers, because he had a fellow feel Swith their infirmities and their -rows. So, no one could be a Savior for us to bad not suffered. No one could re compassion on us in our weak ses who had not himself been opted and tried as by fire. Only a n who has been hungry, and has tknown waere to lay his head at tes, knows how to sympathize with ers who are in similar experience. ly he who has been in the wilder ~s with the devil, tempted on every e, struggling for his life, knows y. to sympathize and have true comn sion with tempted men and women iav. Only He who has been crowned th thorns, who has been spit upon i whipped with the scourge, who s fainted under His cross, knows 11 compassIon, knows how to be iched with the feeling of people who lashed by cruel misfortune and 1o are fainting under burdens too ivy for their shoulders. But Jesus rist meets all these requirements. 'knows all about it.* The incarnation of Jesus was no mi. H~ awore our humanity com tely, and there never was a more fectly s;ensitive human nature, one re tencer and exquisite in human lings tl:an that of Jesus Christ. As Sbeen well said, Christ affected ie of that hard indifference in ich some ancient philosophers vain gloried. He felt as a man, and He pathized with the feelings of ers.

He wias a man of rows, and acquainted with grief. whole life was an experience of ordinary trials and provoCations i eac to evil. and these ';ere some es aggravated into the most in e temptations. He was made the ~et of all the arrows of Satan. But M le was tempted in all points as v-e are. He came off victorious These reflectfi;T bring us to ap late the fact tha& Christ is ideally ect as a friend anc Savior for us Le weaknesses and iufirmities with ch our lives in this world are fa ar. We may comnfcrt ourselven Sthe assurance of several very iring refiections. ~irst-Christ. being touched with Ieling of our infirmities, will ea distinction between what is k and what is willfully Trong in Jeu gives us a ve-r innatiful tration of this in His treatmment o disciples. those three close friends, er and James and John. whom He .>k with Him into the Garden of 3'ethsemane on the night of His be rayal. He said to them as the bur .en of sorrow pressed upon Him: 'My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here and watch with Me.' And then He went away a lit tle by Himself and fell on His face in prayer, and after a time He came back wishing the comfort of the association with His friends. And behold. they were all asleep. They aroused at His step, and Jesus said to Peter, 'What! could ye not watch with Me one hour? Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation.' Then Jesus, in the ten derness of His great heart, feeling sympathy and compassion toward them, begins to apologize for them and explain to them their weakness. 'The spirit indeed is willing,' He says. 'but the flesh is weak.' Was there ever greater tenderness than that? One can easily ifiagine the sarcasm of Na poleon or Frederick the Great on an occasion like that. Bilt could any thing more clearly illustrate the ten derness of Christ in distinguishing be tween our weakness and wi.llful wrong doing? We may be sure that Christ will never misjudge us if we are do ing the best we can. He knows it and appreciates it to its full value. He sees every battle we make, even when we are defeated, and knows the motive behind every blow that is struck in His name. He will never reject or look with indifference or con tempt on any effort we make to serve Him because of our infirmities which make us to blush. What we speak in words are not the only prayers Christ hears, but every secret aspiration and longing for goodness or for helpful service is a prayer which He hears and answers. There is no eloquence of human lips that can compare with the penitential tears shed in secret, spring ing from sincere meditation upon our duty to God, and heartfel-: longing that we may render Him trucr service. "Second-Jesus, knowing our infirm ities. will not allow us tc be burdened heavier than we are able to bear. He wvill not allow us to ba- tempted in such a way that there is no escape for us. He will not permit as to be load ed. unless we bring it or ourselves by our own sin, with unnecessary trou bles. His measure aboat burdens is infinitely tender: 'Come unto Me a1 ye that labor, and are heavy laden. and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. and learn of le: for I am meek and lowly in neart; anO ye shall find rest unto your souls. For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.' " And in regard to temptation, we have the direct promise that His grace shall be sufficient for us. and that in every temptatior: He will make a way for our escape, so that both in our sorrows and in our danger Christ, touched with the feeling of our infirmities, stands ready to com fort and defend us. We shall go no path so lonely oi' uncertain but we may find marks to show us. if we really seek for them, that Christ has been ovar the way first. Alexander Maclaren recalls the customs of pio neers in trackless lands, how when one friend passes through pathless forests he breaks a branch ever and anon as he goes, that those who come after may see the traces of his hav ing been there, and may know that they have not lost the trail. So when we are journeying through the murky night, and the dark woods of affliction and sorrow, it is a precious thing to find here and there a broken branch or a leafy stem bent dowvn with the tread of Christ's foot and the kindly thoughtfulness of His hand as He passed, and'to remember that the path He trod He has hallowed, and that there are lingering fragrances and hidden strengths in the remembrance that He was tempted in all points like as we are, bearing grief for us, bear ing grief with us, bearing grief like us. "Third-As angels comforted Jesus in His sorrows, so He will succor us in our trials and weaknesses. How tenderly Jesus prayed for us before He offered Himself upon the cross as an atonement for our sins! In that tender prayer in which He expressly states that it was not only for His dis ciples, but for all who should believe on Him through their words to the end of the world, and therefore in cludes us. the Savior prays: 'Now I am no more in the world; but these are in the world. Holy Father! Thine th'ey were, and Thou gayest them Me. Keep them through Thine own name. Sanctify them through Thy truth. Keep them from the evil one, that they may be where I am, and may behold the glory which Thou hast given Me.' How tender Christ was to people in hard places during His earthly min istry! Recall His journey to visit Martha and Mary when their brother Lazarus was dead. Remember the kindness to the poor woman who touched His garments as the crowd pressed about Him. Remember the woman who brought her box of precious ointment as He sat at the feast in the house of Simon, who wet His feet with her tears and wiped them with the hairs of her head. In all these, and in multitudes of other cases how conspicuous the tenderness and sensitive compassion of Jesus Christ in comforting those who are tried and troubled, Surely there could be nothing more attractive to us. Nothing which could more perfectly appeal to our confidence and to our faith thani the character and the story of Jesus our Savior as set forth in the Word of God." Narrowv Way Ensiest.

Man-Eating Tribe Has Some Ideas of Civilization. The man-eating Battas of North Su matra have a postal system. They make use of hollow tree trunks at cross roads. and these primitive letter boxes are largely patronized by young mn and women, who read, and write. and correspond in a degraded native script, which is traced on palm leaves in vertical lines that run upwards and from left to right. These Battas, though undoubted cannibals, are skilled in agriculture and in raising stock. They form large communities, have an organized gov einent, hereditary chiefs, popular assemblies, and a written civil and penal code. Their picturesque dwell ings have been compared to Swiss chalets, and the ground floor is re served for their live stock. For their skill in iron work, pottery, and weav ing they are probably indebted to Hindu teaching, and their repulsive habit is combined with a belief in a triune deity, Creator, Pres'erver and Destroer. THE SUNDAY SCHOOL iNTERNATIONAL LESSON COMMENTS FOR OCTOBER 15. Subject %Returning From Captivity. Ezra i., 1-11-Golden Text. Psa. exxv.. 3 Memory Verses. 5. 6-Commentary qun the Day's Lesson. I. The proclamation of' King Cyrus to return (vs. 14). 1. "First year of Cyrus." That is his first year as sole king at Babylon. He was king, twenty years before this, of Elam and gradu ally extended his empire over the Per sians and Medes, Babylonians and Chaldeans. For two years after the capture of Babylon Darius was king of Babylon under Cyrus. Now Cyrus reigned at Babylon. "Word of the Lord." See Jer. 25:12; 29:10. The promise was that after seventy years the Lord would bring His people again to Palestine. "Stirred up-Cy rus." There is good reason to accept the Jewish tradition according to Jo sephus, that Daniel, occupying a high position in the court of Cyrus. brought to his attention the prophecies of Isaiah. which name Cyrus as God's servant (Isa. 44:26-28; 45:1-4), and per haps, also, the prophecies of Jeremiah. showing that God had for this purpose given Babylon into the hands of Cyrus. -Made a proclamation." See chapter 6. "In writing." To prevent any mis take or reversal. 2. "God of heaven." Hence the Con troller of all men and affairs. "God of heaven" seems to have been a usual title of the Supreme Being among the Persians. At this time the Medo-Per sian enpire was very extensive, ex tending on the east to the Red Sea. on the north to the Black Sea, on the west to the Island of Cyprus and Egypt and on the south to Ethopia. "Hath charged me," etc. Cyrus probably ac c.pted the prophecy of Isaiah as, a charge to In Id the temple. "The ex istence of predictions in which. 200 years before he was born. his vic:or ious career and the important services he should render to the Jews were foretold. led him to acknowledge that all his kingdoms were gifts bstowed on him by 'the Lord God of 'aeaven, and prompted him to fulfill the duty which had been laid upon him long before his birth. This was the source and origin of the great favor he showed to the Jews." 3. "Who is there among you." The return was to be a volunteer movement. "His God be with him." A pious wish, ind.cat ing the deep religious feeling and good ness of heart which characterized Cy rus alone of Persian monarchs. He ruled his subjects like a father. No nobler character appears in ancient history. "Let him go." As the carry ing away of the Hebrews had taken place at intervals of from seventy to fifty years before. there were but few of the original exiles remaining, and it is somewhat remarkable that so many of their descendants, nearly 50,000 in all, should be willing to go to a coun try they had never seen. "Build the house." This was their great errand, not to build their own houses, but the house of God. "He is the God." We can understand this great truth far more clearly than could Cyrus Let us see to it that we live out the knowledge which we possess. 4. "Whosoever remaineth." Some persons of true and eiinent piety so situated that they did not deem it their duty to go, as Daniel in the court of Cyrus; others were hindered by old age. Many more returned than we read of being carrfed away captive. "Let the men-help him." Let the heathen population frlp him. "Free will offering." Probably that miade by Cyrus himself. II. The captives make prepsarations for the return (vs. 5-11). 5. "Chief of the fathers." Venerable men, heads of families, some of whom had seen the first temple. "Judah and Benjamin." These tribes, last exiled, were the first to return. But that: there were many from the other tribes also who returned appears -from many other passages. 6. "Strengthened their hands." Their neighbors helped them and contrib utec. liberally. 7. "Cyrus-brought forth." etc. Nebuchadnezzar little thought that he was unconsciously pre serving the sacred vessels of Israel in a safe and inviolable stronghold, till the day when Jehovah would bring about their restoration to His people. 8. "Sheshbazzar." The Chaldee or Persian name of Zerubbabel, given him at court as other names were given to Daniel and his friends. Born in :Babylon and named by his friends Zerubbabel (ezile in Babylon). He was~ recognized as hereditary prince of Judah; was leader of the first company of exiles and direct:or of the rebuilding of the temple. 11. "All the vezsels," etc. This num ber, 5400. is more than double the sum of verses 9 and 10, which was 2499. It is probable that only the larger or more costly vesselo were :mmbered in detail, and the 5400 includes a great number of smaller and lesz, costly ones, So they are reckoned by Jose ph us. In the history of the restoration of the Jews to their country, the names of three Jewish leaders and of three Persians are prominent. The first Jewish. leader was Zerubbabel, who left Babylon under this proclamation of Cyrus, B. C. 536. seventy years after t e first captivity. After an interval of about.twenty years he was enabled to complete the rebuilding~ of the tem pie, in the reign of Darius Hlystaspes, sevety years after the destruction of the temnle. The second JIewish leader was Ezra. who went uip .~rom Babylon aout eighty years after Zerubbabel, in the seventh year of Artaxerxes Lonimnius. iHe labored chiefly to restore the ir.stittions of M'cses. The third .Tewi::h lea:de:' w;as Nehiemiahi. who~r went 11) from' S'usa. or Shushan, in !he tw'.enit'eth~ year of the same Ar taxrxes. He rebuilt the wall and set upi the z;:aes of .1eru~alem and pro mn ed miany refor'ms. Poured Gold in His Teeth. This story has come to light in a police court. A young man from Chi cago arrived in New York, hoping to obtain work as a waiter. He failed. and was arrested for stealing a roll of cloth from a tailor shop, in t~road daylight. He pleaded guilty to the charge, and told the fol lowing stcry: "All the money I had w~as spent. I had no friend to help me get work. I pawned nay overcoat and spent the money I got on it, except 15 cents. I spent that for a pair of jliers, which I used to to rip the gold teeth fror" my mouth. These cost me $75 and; pawned them for $3.50, all I cor' get, and when that money was gc. I had to steal or starve. "I went to a clothing shop. pick I up a roll of cloth in plain view of its owners, and stood ten feet from the door, waiting to be sent to prison, where I would be sure of a bed and some food." Recorder Goff paroled the young young man and the officials saw that he was sent to his home in Chicago. reeand Plain Dealer. Judge Peabody's Irate Client. Some years ago the husband of an Irish lady in Portland, Maine, found himself in difficulty, requiring the ser vices of an attorney. So the wife, who managed affairs, went to a lead ing concern which she'd employed be fore, only to find it had been secured by the other ,side. Inquiring who she'd better employ, Lawyer Peabody, now a justice of the supreme judicial court of Maine, was recommended. He was engaged, but the opposite party won. A few days later an acquaintance, referring to her mistfortune, asked the lady if she had counsel. 'Yes, I did," she emphatically re plied. "I had Paybody, and I might just as well had nobody." Honey Forty-four Years Old. A Brunswi.-, Maine, man has a small glass case full of honey which he has preserved for forty-four years, and It appears to be as good now as when it was first made. The package, which originally weighed five pounds, now weighs three and one-quarter pounds, the shrinkage being due to evaporation. GRATIFYING PRAISE.
