A Fearful Amount of Hair. | *'I am 6iity years old," said a downtown merchant, "and I have shaved ?very morning of my life since I was twenty. I got to wondering the other day how much beard had gone to waste, and I made a calulation. It is > safe to eay that I grew a quarter of an jinoh of whiskers a week, which would 'give me thirteen inches a year, and thirteen inches a year for forty years Trould give me forty-three feet and M _ _ i mi i? _ # & 1 l / lour mcnes. xnai s a it-anui amount; i of hair to get out of a man's system."

A sudden attack of backache, toothache, or neuralgic headache, finds the most of us without anything at hnnd, while St. Jacobs Oil would cure and put an end to the trouble promptly.

Golden .Text; Luke xi!., 8?Com I iiiuutary. Lessor I.?The Forerunner of Chri&r (Lute i., 5-17). Golden Text, Luke i.. 76. "Thou shalt go before the fa?e of the Lord to prepare His ways." The standing of Zaenariap and Elizabeth la given In the phrase "Righteous beforo God." How precious when man and wife are thus one In Christ forever. Their dally life is summarized in "walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless" (verse 6). The grandest thing about their child John was that he would be "Groat in the sight of the Lord and filled with the Holy Spirit from his birth" (verse 15). Obsorvo the phrases "Before God." "Before Him," in verses 8,17. Lesson II.?The Boy Jesus (Luke ii., 4052). Golden Tczt, Luke ii., 52, "Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man." Observe the "Fear Nots" of the aneels to Zafiharina Mnrv nnil the shepherds (i., 13,30; ii., 10) ami let it bo God's word to you. Notice their "Glad Tidings" (i., 19; ii., 10) and be a bearer of the same (Bom. x., 15). Let u3 magnify tha Lord as did Mary and Zacharias, and the angles, and the shepherds fi., 4G, 68; il.. 14. 20). Let the first recorded utterance of Him who always pleased the Father, ''about my Father's business" (ii., 49) be one of our daily mottoes. Lesson HI.?The Ministry of John the Baptist (Luke ill.. 15-22). Golden Text, John i.. 29, "Behold the Lamb of God,which taketh away the sin of the world." John, like his Master, sought no honor for himself, content to be a voice, heard and not seen. Content to decrease if only Be might Increase; content to have all his disciples leave him to follow Jesus. His greatest cry was that of the Golden Text, "Behold the Lamb of God." Jesus humbles Himself to be baptized of John that He might fulfli all righteousness (Math, iii., 15). The Spirit abides upon Him, and the Father testifies, "Thou art My Beloved Son, in Thee I am well pleased." Lesson* IV.?The Early Ministry of Jesus (Luke iv., 14-22). Golden Text, Luke iv., 32, "His word was with power." Being full ot the Spirit He was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tried. We desire to be filled with the Spirit, but often forget that it involves trial. He oonquered by the sword oi the spirit; let us Decome mignty in me use of the same. Lesson V.?The Power of Jesus (Luke v., 17-26). Golden Text, Luke v., 24, "The Sou of .Man hath power upon earth to forgive sins." Between last lesson and this we see demons and fevers and diseases of all kinds fleeing at His word; even the leper is made clean. The fishes of the sea also obey Him and fill Peter's net. Peter and James and John follow Him more fully. Lesson YL?The Sermon on the Plain (Luke vi., 41-49). Golden Text, Lukevi., 46. "Why call ye me Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?" See in v., 30, and vi., 11, the increasing opposition and hatred of the self righteou's against the meek and lowly One. While this sermon is the same in substance as the one on the mount fMath. v., to viiM) it is evident from verse 17 that it was anotner sermon on another oocaslon. Jesus teactas us to be and do what He Himself was anu did, and that every disciple must be perfected as His Master was (verse 40. margin : Heb. 11., 10). Lesson VII.?The Great Helper (Luke viL, 2-16). Golden Text, Luke vii., 16, "They glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen up umong us." They boasted ol the worthiness of the centurion who had shown his love to their Nation by building them a synagogue, but they did not know the worthiness of Him whom they were addressing, nor His love to their Nation In giving Himself to die for them. They did well to judge of the oenturlon's love by his conduct ?our Lord judges of our lpve to Him by our deeds rather than by our words (I John 111., 16-18). Lesson VHI.?Faith Encouraged (Luke viil., 43-55). Golden Text, Luka vlit, 40: "Thy faith hath made thee whole. Go in peace." He is ever going about doing good (Acts x., 38), healing the sick, casting out demons, nusing the dead to lifo and preaching the gmd tidings of the kingdom of God. Here is a case of life ebbing away for twelve years, and another of life steadily developing, for the same period, but until each touches Him there is nothing enduring to either. He only can give real life that will endure forever, but He can and will if we are willing. Hear His "Fear not; believe only," and say, "I will trust and not be afraid." Lesson EL?Jesus, the Messiah (Luke ix., 18-27). Golden Text, Lukeix., 35. "This is My Beloved Son; near Him." Observe in verse 11 how He continues preaching and healing, then see Him feed the 5000 men, the only miracle recorded in each of the four gospels, and if you would be used by Him to feed the multitudes learn irom this lesson the secret of losing your life, denying self, bearing the cross daily. It is either Christ or 1,8pirlt or flesh, the Father or the world. Let the glories of the kingdom as seen in the transfiguration take such hold ol you that you will gladly die to self. Lesson X.?True Love to One's Neighbor (Luke x., 25-37). Golden Text, Luke x., 27, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind, and thy neighbor as thyself." A good lesson, if you Include verses 38 to 42. on the difference between the wise and prudent who get nothing and the babes who know His mind by receiving His words. Lesson XI.?Teaching About Prayer (Luke si., 1-13). Golden Text, Luke xi.. 9, "Ask and it shall be given you, seek and ye shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you." The great thing in prayer as well as in life and service is to know God as our Father. Donfldenoein our Father, who so loved us as to give His only begotten Son for us and therefore can withhold no good thing (Rom. eiii., 32), ib the secret of all quietness. To live only and wholly for Him is the secret of ill asking and receiving. The Holy Spirit is :he sum and substance of all good things. Lesson XII.?Faithful and Unfaithful Servants (Luke xii., 37-48). Golden Text, Eph. p., 18, "Be not drunk with wine wherein is jxcess, but be filled with the Spirit." There :ould hardly be a better text with which to slose the quarter, for if "filled'with the Holy Spirit" we will be watohful, wi9e and faithful, trustful as to all our own affairs end liligent in His business who careth for us, leeking in all things to please Him and never :o please people (Gal. i., 10: I Thess. ii., 4), eady to serve or to wait, to live or to die, to jo or to stay, as He may appoint (II Sam. rv., 15; I Chron. xzviii., 21).?Lesson Helper.

"I am now working most every day ai am in nearly an good health as I had 1 for several years prior to my last illness. Mr. Harrison was loud in the praise Dr. Williams' Pills, and he continued: 'I can honestly say that I feel that if I not had the pills 1 should not have been! to-day, so I most cheerfully tell of the t derful work they have done for me.
