"Mai?" said Mrs. Merriwid. "Why, I think Max is all right as far as he goes, and he goes about a3 far as I'll let him. Why do you ask, dearie?" "I just wondered," replied Aunt Jane. "He's been calling so often." "That's a way doctors have, auntie dear," said Mrs. Merriwid. "Still, as long as I don't have to pay three dol lars a visitation, I don't know that I have any particular objection. And then poor little Fido hasn't been at all well lately." "You don't answer my question," Aunt Jane InslBted. Mrs. Merriwld giggled. "Well, I think he has a perfectly dear little beard," she admitted, "and a beautiful bedside manner, and hia voice is soft and low, which is an excellent thing In a physician- He haB the appearance of being thoroughly sterilized, too; a person really could eat out of his hand if a person were not too shy and wild like me. But I don't like the smell of iodoform; and yet, he has nice eyes." MVs. Merriwid sighed. "Such a pity he's a doctor." "I don't see why you should object to the healing art," said Aunt Jane. " 'Physician, heel thyself,'" mis quoted Mrs. Merriwi'd. "If they don't, it isn't for the want of trying. Not that I object to that unless it leads them to operate on the appendix for a case of fenca rail colic; my objection Is general.

"You know I've got a conscience, and if you don't believe I've got a heart, you ask Doctor Illary. It has right and left ventricles and auricles and valves and things. I learned that In my physiology. And there It is again: Suppose I married a doctor. We won't say Max, but any doctor, and we'll say for the sake of argu ment that I think my system needs toning up by a trip to the mountains. " 'Let me look at your tongue, my own,' says my husband. 'Hm-m! Ha! Yes. About what I thought. And now, Light of my Life, we'll see what your pulse Is doing. Seventy-eight. Ha! Hm-m!

"Perhaps, possibly, and peradven ture," said Mrs. Merriwld. "You ask some doctor's wife though, dearie, and see what Bhe'll say.

J. one is a more gracious uumeso ouu ane -which it is a delight to visit. Be tiind the forced smile of welcome, how many a heart has sunk because there was nothing In the house to offer a friend.

Constantinople, Turkey.?Cupid hai little chance in Armenia, where young women are closely secluded and kept away from all social intercourse with young men. From the time of her birth the life of the Armenian girl is regulated by her parents, even to the arrangements for her marriage and the choosing of a husband for her, and so closely is she watched that love affairs before marriage are unknown, and, Indeed, as she is never allowed to see a man outside of her own fam ily, there is little chance for Cupid to play any tricks on susceptible hearts. as soon as a gin is corn iu mwiu Armenian parents begin to lay aside money and fine linens for her mar riage portion. When she is considered to have reached the marriageable age In Bridal Attire. her mother sendfc a message to th? guardians or parents of some young man who she thinks would be a suit able husband for her daughter, de scribing the girl's beauty, admirable qualities and particularly the amount of her dowry. The marriage follows shortly, tak ing place at the home of the bride's parents, and the ceremony is as im posing as the ritual of the Greek church can make it. The bride, rich ly garbed in white silks and billows of lace, has quantities of jingling coins dangling from her braids, and both she and the bridegroom wear wreaths of artificial flowers. While the marriage rites are being solem nized the couple must stand or kneel before the priest for several hours with their foreheads pressed together. Meanwhile, drums, bells and other noisy instruments do all they can tu ucbi aVy u iiuui wuo ?v?vu4u*?/ v* occasion. When the ceremony is concluded the female relatives of the bride rush to kiss the bridegroom, while they put Into his pockets lumps of sugar and fasten ribbons upon his breast.

O. SELLERS. Director of Evening Department, The Moody Bible Institute, Chicago.) LESSON FOR SEPT. 1. DEATH OF JOHN THE BAPTIST LESSON TEXT-Mark 8:14-29. GOLDEN TEXT?"Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee the crown of Ufe."?Rev. 2:10. The story of Hamlet and Banquo's ghost is no more vivid or dramatic than the story of the tragady of John the Baptist, r "And King Herod heat'd of him," v. 4. Of course Herod would hear of the rising young cousin of John who was creating such a stir throughout Galilee. His coarse, sinful,, licentious, heart cringed at the rebuke* of such a life of purity, one that performed so many good deeds, one who was con stantly ministering to others as con trasted with the life of Herod, who only ministered to his own selfish lusts. Small wonder he should ex claim, "It is John whom I beheaded," and one can hear in fancy the rising tide of terror that surged through his heart as he must have screamed, "He is risen from the dead!" The first three verses of the lesson afe a vivid picture of how the fame of this young Galilean affected the conscience stricken and trulltv-hearted usurper upon the throne. Who was this Herod? In the first place, he was guilty of the filn of In- { ceat, for he had married the wife of ] his brother Philip, who wai still liv ing. From verse eighteen of the lea- i son we learn further that the bold and \ courageous John had rebuked, him of this evil and as a result Herod had cast him into prison, and though he 1 may have deBired, yet he did not as , yet dare to take his life. Added to ; this Is the anger of a Blnful woman. The purest flower that blooms Is a | godly woman. The vilest and most ( vindictive creature upon earth j is ( most frequently a fallen woman. Wei aeed to remember in this case that Heroes was aware of the heights 3 from which she had fallen for she wag of-Jewish descent. She had first ! married Herod Philip I, then eloped J to marry this Herod Antlpas, who was ! also her step-uncle and who at the J time had a wife living. , John a Just Man. j This precipitated a war which re sulted In the overthrow and utter loss of the army belonging to the father of Herod's (lawful wife. Why did Herod hesitate to comply with all that Herodlas desired? Verse 20 tells ? 1 "?ton o -4iiat -man nnd Uti, JUUXi TTHD C* JWWV AMMM w? ? an holy." Righteousness is often a man's surest safeguard. Herod was 1 not altogether devoid of conscience as j we have already seen, and this la ( further evidence of that fact Verse 20 adds that when Herod heard him ho was "perplexed and heard him gladly." We believe that Herod was ? seeking some sort of a recanting upon the part of John, that he was glad (anxious) to hear from his lips some sort of statement that would justify his liberation and- was perplexed over the persistence of John, who, though in prison, never for one moment low ered his standard of divine righteous ness, nor trimmed his sails so as to catch the wind of Herod's popular muttto n Inhry'a atHtllfJo mvur. 1 Hat LUW TT ao t. -- and that It was known to Herodlas Is evident from the beginning of the verse 21, "?.nd when a convenient day was come." Herodias was all too ready and willing to seize her oppor tunity. To evidence her depths of depravity and also her anxiety, note that Hero dlas was willing to sacrifice the mod esty of her own daughter to gain her end. The use of the word "herself" i v. 22 R. V., is evidence that it was j an unusual thing for this daughter of ! a queen thus to exhibit herself. Now note the oath of the liquor and lust-drunken king. What an appalling request. What a terrible consequence. ! What lengths men will go to "keep : their word" given thoughtlessly or ut tered In the heat of passion. This Is one of the blackest pictures of his- j tory. A lust-driven, licentious poten- ) tate, a rebuked but vindictive queen, I slave of these same passions. Not Real Sorrow. The child of the home thrust forth before the gaze of the court to help se- j cure the endB of a murderous mother. I j A godly, fearless saint who had a great message from a great God. and with out halting, hesitancy or compromise j continued to deliver that message mi i stricken down in the midst of an orgy of passion. Herod's sorrow was not "unto repentance" (v. 26) but rather * that of a guilty conscience. i We need now to return again to the b first verse of the lesson and we can ? well believe it must have been a sad - wail, "He is risen" (v. 16). History ^ tells us Herod lost his kingdom and . that he and Herodias died in exile. J Let us turn from this awful picture ! ] and look at John. How different. Thus I ( dies he who was the greatest born of I a woman. Thus died one who dared ^ to rebuke evil in high places. One j! who would not compromise to save his life, and one who was faithful unto death (see the Golden Text). Can we | hesitate to believe that John received his crown?
