CRISIS OF GIRLHOOD A TIME OF PAIN AND PERIL MWW Emma Cole Says that Lydia B Pinkham's Vegetable CompOund has Saved Her Life and Made Her Well How many lives of beautiful young girls have been sacrificed just as they were ripening into womanhood!

A mother should come to her child's aid and remember that Lydia E.

Sledging and travel over the snow-banked trails are limited to bare necessity. In the colder seasons the trails are kept open by shoveling and paeking them dlovn. When the runners sing intermittent ly in high. thin voices, the teamster, with a belt tight around his over coat and flopping his arms to keel) warm, faces his greatest hardships. But when the heavy snows and rapid thaws of spring come, teaming means a battle and a vent'ire with a sudden termination hanging just above. Thousands of tons of snow up the mountain sides hang on a trigger that can be sprung by the sigh of a breeze or. the rolling of a pine cone, and in summer many a barren slope and pile oft rock and timber at the bottom tells a skeleton-tale of the winter's ighht.

GeneraUy That in Not the Trouble. Persons with a susceptibility to mala rial influences should beware of coffee. which has a tendency to load up the liver with blie. A lady writes from Denver that she suffered for yiears froni chills and fever which at last she learned were mainly Iroduced by the cofe she drank. "I1 was also grievously affieted with chead::ches :mnd indigestion." she says. "which I beam, satisfied were like wise largelyi due to the coffee I dranuk.

(It was really relief from congestion of the liver caused by coffee.) "Mv daughter has been as great a coffee drinker as I. and for years was affieted with terrible sick headaches. which often lasted for a week at a time. She is a brain worker and ex cessive application together with the headaches be-gan to affect her memory most seriously.

OOR EXAMPLE LIVES OUR REGULAR SUNDAY SERMON The Christian Life Opens Up to Us the Way to Unrealized Opportuni ties for Usefulness. Brooklyn. N. Y.-The Rev. Edward Niles preached at the White Churcb Sunday evening from II Timothy iii:5' "Holding a form of godliness, but hav. ing denied the power thereof." He said: That -distance lends enchantment to the view" is true of time as well as space. The older we grow, the more immaculate appear the imagined days of youth. Christian believers are purer in our eyes in proportion to the number of centuries that intervene. Within the covers of every volume of sermons, whether written in one age or another, are the well-nigh certain jereiniads over "these time of extreme worldliness, unequaled love of money. peculiar indifference to spiritual things," followed by laudations of the apostolic age as the golden era of Christianity. A reconstruction of conditions exist ing in those New Testament churches from materials atforded us in the epistles, warrant no such assumption. Heresies then were rampant. incon sistent lives numerous. backsliders distressingly frequent. The things of sense mace cogent appeal. The husks of the gospel often satisfied to tle dis regard of its kernel. Paul's descrip tion of "the last days" was based upon facts about him. As he penned the s-entence of our text, he probably had in mind fellow communicants who held the form of godliness, but denied the power thereof. Since then outward changes have been many, kingdoms have come and gone, languages have died and been born. church order and ritual been met amorphosed. Hunau nature is un affected by time or clime. So the New Testament is not a graveyard, with epitaphs of only antiquarian interest. but is photographic of contemporary eart throbs. In our Borough of Brooklyn are 15G. 079 people holding to the Protestant form of godliness. While statistics are unable to figure out how many hold to the Protestant power thereof, if form and power were identical. not one of the buildings where divine wor ship is being held to-night would have a vacant seat and every theatre and hall would be utilized for overflow meetings. The original of "deny" has as its root meaning "not to seek." "Hold ing a form of godliness, they have not sought for its power." The world has much to say about hypocrites. I be lieve the outcry against them is out of all propirtion to their numbers. The conscious hypocrite to-day is a rare bird. I have made frequent hunts r him. Despite the most diligent search, I have seldom found him. The number of those called hypo crites. who would rightly be catalogued as formalists, is legion. They are not striving to deceive others. They suc ceed in their striving to deceive them selves. Satisfied with the appurte ances. the trappings of godliness. they inquire no further. Attendants upon the services of the church, mem bers of it. supporters of its outward ac tivities, they fancy themselves to be godly. Branded as Christians. they but feebly apprehend what disrepute they bring upon the name by their in feriority to the real article. Their gllibility is wrongly taken for hy poctisy. They submit to the drudgery of religion to pacify troublesome con sciences and impose apon themselves. An important reason for so many lapses from church membership is be cause so many become dissatisfied with a form, yet fail to seek the reality, so give up all. Almost every one in this congrega tion has a form of godliness. You look good. I find little to criticise in what you do. for .there is so little you do on which to base a criticism. The trouble lies in wvhat you do not. You may have called me here to predigest your spiritual food. to relieve you from first-hand study of the Bible, to rep. resent your church not only in classis but in the tenement, to he your proxy in heart to heart work for- souls, your substitute when the battle is on be tween good and evil, while you go our business and household ways dur ing the week and on Sunday enjioy your- cushioned pers, criticise the ser mon and singing. The Lor~d never enlled mPe to any like task. If there has ben any such tacit agreeentt I .now rep~udiate it. I am c~led of God to point out the forms of godliness as means of obtazininig its The imp)erative need~s of our invent Ive age have almost hodily transferred to our language the Grecek here ren dered "p'ower." in the word dynamo. I believe in forms. .inst as the railroad engineer believes in thle thir-d rail, as he believes in the elevated structure on the Williamsburg Bridge. But the mass of iron is a seniseless eyesore un til it is connected with the main line. Even then it is useless umtil related to the power house, until the power. the fire-fed dynamo. sendi(s forth the lectic current. enabling thte cars to barry thousands of wage-ear-ners to and fron their- pla(cs of everyday toil. What private, concern woulid be so in ne ais to sink fotr two years such a wealth of money in an enterprise for acuuating rust?' The forms of religion are essential as preiminaries to the acessories of power. Chturchtes. ministers. Bibles were instituted atnd have been pot-pet uted liecause divinely ordained and tuany tested to be go:>d for making the kingdom (it heavent "go" upon ea-rh. In themselves, they have no value. The power(' of godlincss gener' ted in Chrtin lives must electrifyv themt or they are enctumbrances. You are comiss1i5$oned to lead other~s o Christ. Your commiision~! tives you 'o'er to act." At-c you availitg your se of that privilege? . tiud nto verse in tie Scripture whichi reads "'Be good rind yo-u will be a Christian." I tind riterated,. over andi over-. "Do good." Chistianty is not c'oloriessness. It has nto mlinuts sizm. It is (vert positive. A. egativie being is peeuliatrly abhor ent to Him whose biography is epi ~omized by "He went atbout (doing zood." "I woutld thou wert either 'old or- htot" is His mnessagze to sucht orpid professors. "Because thou rt - lukewarmt. I will spew thee out of My moutt." Retter the mistakes, bet ter eveni the sinis that come front activ-| Ety than the fiahby absence of either ood or bad. True religion consists not in outward observances, but in in wad graces: nor in semblance. but in1 reality. Because God is a living God,I He has no satisfaction in half-alive saits. We ntust not only serve Him in ths life: we must atlso live in His se'vie. The arc- lamp unconnected with rte dynamo is in the way. Your pece in the chutrch is in rte way of others, unless the dynamo of power wvithint you is at work an;d your light is shining. A man may ery "Church: C'hurch:" at overy word k daw s not reckoned a religious bird Because it keeps a-cawing from a -teeple. Forms are by no means confined to iturgical churches. A prinlted prayer s less formal than one which differs n phraseology each time it is uttered. f the firsit come from the heart and the atter from the head. Some one thus oufesses and questions and deduces: I often say my prayers. But do I ever pray? And do the wisnes of m hcart Go with the words ) syv W1ord'- without the heart The Lord will never hear. Nor will He to tho.-e lips attcnd Whose prayers are not szncere. Spiritual forces are all about us. per rasive as the subtle element we call ?Iectricity. The power -f godliness is he concentration of this energy with ,n ourselves, so as to make it radiant or good to others. We are in good !orm. We have taken Christ to be >ur Prophet and listen to His teach ngs. We recognize Him as our priest, iccepting the atonement He offers. Is Ee our King Whom we obey, in Whose trength we go out to fight fearlessly? Because hypocrites exist is no reason why you should be a coward. Let us ot hesitate to say what we mean. Let us determine to mean what we say. A form of godiness may speak words of sympathy to mourners, of warniug to evil dors. of iope to af Mieted ones. But the power is not there. It is :"voice, voice: nothing more." Although ministering to the self-complacency of the speaker. it ministers to no one else. The form of odliness lacks substance. The flimsi ess is revealed when its wearer needs sustaining power. It is no rod and staff to comfort when the valley of the shadow of death is to be trod. It has no light to shed when a man comes to the forks of the road and knows not which way to take. It may fool him for a while here. Its hollow ness is apparent on his first arrival in the world that knows no shams. The power of godliness is profitable. both for the life that now is and for that which is to come. Its possessor has "the tongue of the taught .that he may sustain with woras him that is weary." may "reprove. rebuke.. exhort, correct." A man is behind the voice and Christ is behind the man. In times of trouble, it supports unfailing ly. When the house is darkened and the friends make their pitiful attempts to condole, they are anticipated by the God of all comforts. He whose form of godliness is val dated by lis power. with unblanchel cheek. with firn confidence. faces each crisis of life. the supreme crisis of death, knowing Whom he has believed. persuaded that He is able to keep what is committed to Him throughout eternity. A Clear Call. 9 "It is very noble and lovely of you. Elsie. to give so much of your time to that work among the tenement ouse children. Im sure I admire you for it; but for my part. I never had any call to that kind of work.' *Any call?'" Elsie's eyes were gravely questioning. "*Yes, of course. I suupoe you felt called to go into it. didn't you?" *1 don't know. I don't think I ever thought of it just in that way. I saw the need of something I had time and strength to d-that was all. But wouldn't that be call enough?" Would it not indeed? What plainer call can there be than a need that we can meet? What more eloquent ap peal than the cry of the hungry little ones around us for bread that we can give? There are not nmany loud and start ling ealls" to any form of service. but God has unmiistakable ways of making His will known to every onle whose own will. is to know it. We have but to keep our ears open to hear H-s voice, our eyes to see His beck oning. Every opportunity is a call: eve'ry outstretched hand that ours can meet helpfully is God's beckoning hand to us." To most of us no other call will ever come than that which conmes through human lips, no other than .the reveal ing of a vacant place which we may fill, a need for work which wve can (do.
