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

shaky at the least provocation, and
you cannot bear to be crossed in any

have given out ; you need building up

er and James and John. whom He

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."

CANNIBALS UP TO DATE.
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 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

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.

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

BABY ONE SOLiD SORE
Could Not Shut Her Eyes to sleep-Forry
Boils on Head-Spent 8100 on Doctors
-Baby Grew Worse-Cured by
Cuticura For 85.
"A scab formed on my baby's face,
spreading until it completely covered her
from heaid to foot, followed by boils, hav
ing forty on her head at one time, and
more on her body. Then her skin started
to dry up and it became so bad she could
not shut her eyes to sleep. One month's
treatment withi Cuticura Soap and OJint
ment made a complete cure. Doctors and
medicines had cost over $100, with baby
growing worse. T1hen we spent less thaun
5 tor Cuticura and cured her. (Signed)

For the Housewife.
Ever since our Colonial ancestors
instituted Thanksgiving Day, it has
been a day of rejoicing, and the good
old-fashioned dinner plays the all
important part therein. A detailed
and an interesting account of a
Thanksgiving dinner, as it will be ser

folowed the~ story of "The Making
of a Housewife'' in The Delineator,
is given by Isabel Gordon Curtis in
the November number. "Thanksgiv

seasonable dishes. friom the traditional
pumpkin pie, to a choicely aranged
harvest centrepiece. Other articles
on "Nut Novelties'' and "Maple
Dainties'' can be made to advantage
at this season of the year, and will
ad a um-e1tv to the family menu.
