DOES ALL OF HERJWN WORK And is Glad to Do So, as She Was Denied this Privilege For Two Years. Richmond, Ky.?Mrs. N. V. Willis, of this place, says: "I suffered for over three years with womanly trouble, and tried many different treatments, but none of them seemed to do me any good. I had almost given up to die, when a friend of mine begged me to try Cardui, the woman's tonic. I got a bottle, and began to feel a great deal better after the first few doses. I then got four bottles, and after tak ing these I was cured.

I never expect to be without Cardui in my house as long as I live, as I firmly believe It saved my life, and I will praise it to all of my suffering lady friends." Cfcrdui is a purely vegetable remedy, containing no harmful mineral prod ucts. Its ingredients act in a helping, building way, on the womanly consti tution. It has been relieving woman ly troubles for over half a century, during which time it has proven of more than ordinary value as a tonic for weak women. You can rely on Cardui.

It is quite significant, the number of persons who get well of alarming heart trouble when they let up on cof fee and use Postum as the beverage at meals. There is nothing surprising about It, however, because the harmful alkaloid ?caffeine?in coffee is not present in Postum, which is made of clean, hard wheat. "Two years ago I was having so much trouble with my heart," writes a lady in Washington, "that at times I felt quite alarmed. My husband took me to a specialist to have my heart examined. "The doctor said he could find no organic trouble but said my heart was irritable from something I had been accustomed to, and asked me to try and remember what disagreed with me. "I remembered that coffee always soured on my stomach and caused me iruuuie 11UIU y<uyuauuu ui luc ucoiu So I stopped coffee and began to use Po6tum. I have had no further trouble since. "A neighbor of ours, an old man, was so irritable from drinking coffee that his wife wanted him to drink Postum. This made him very angry, but his wife secured some Postum and made It carefully according to direc tions. "He drank the Postum and did not know the difference, and is still using it to hie lasting benefit. He tells his wife that the 'coffee' is better than It used to be, so she smiles with him and keeps peace in the family by serving Postum instead of coffee."

Behold thou shalt conceive in thy womb and bring forth a son and shalt call his name Jesus. He shall be great and shall be called the Son of the High est, and the Lord God shall give unto him the throng of his father shall reign over the house of Jacob Mary and Joseph went away into a 4 David. He foverever." city of Judea, into the city called Bethlehem, be cause they belonged to the house of David. When the child was born there were many shepherds watching their flocks. When they heard of Christ's nativity many were afraid, and the angel said unto them: "Fear not, for behold I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord!" When the shepherds came to the manger they found the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes. There were angels and a multitude of the heaven ly host praising God and saying: "Glory be to God in the highest, and on earth peace and good will toward men. 1 ne shep herds fell down before Christ and worshiped him. They then made known abroad what they had heard. Then came wise men from the East. guided by a star which stood over the young child. They opened their treasures and presented him gifts of gold, frankin cense and myrrh. Forty days after Jesus' birth his parents carried him to the temple at Jerusa lem. There was one Simeon, who had long been expecting the coming of a Savior to the Jews. Ke took the child up in his arms and exclaimed: "Lord, now lettest thou they servant depart in peace according to thy words: For mine eyes have seen thv salvation." * Joseph and Mary remained but a short time with their child in Egypt. The death of Herod later re called them to Palestine, and they returned to their old place of abode, the little town of Naza reth in Galilee. They did this because the angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said: "Take the young child and his mother and flee into Egypt' and be thou there until I bring thee word, for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him." He grew strong in both body and spirit. Tradition says he wore a garment without seams, made of a kind of woven hair of a purplish brown color. The Gospels tell us nothing of his occupation as a young man. Tradition relates, and it appears truly, that he spent the whole thirty years before he began his ministry in retirement. John was the first to announce the great work Jesus in tended doing. He abandoned the solitude of the desert for the bankB of the Jordan. He gathered the people together in hosts. He announced that they were to be delivered from sin and bondage, and to prepare for the Messiah's coming. It was at Bethabara that John the Baptist saw Jesus for the first time, and looking upon him said: "Behold the lamb of God." It was here that the 12 stones were set up, marking the spot where the children of Israel had crossed the Jordan dry shod to enter the promised land. Jesus had come to be baptized, but John refused until he heard Jesus say: "Suffer it to be so now, for thus it be comes us to fulfil all righteousness." After Jesus had spoken to the people he was led into the wilderness by the spirit. Here he was tempted fnr 40 rinvQ hv iliP ripvil PTo wac nn huncror^H and the devil said unto him: "If thou be the Son ol God command that this stone be made bread," and Jesus answered him, saying, "It is written that man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." He next brought him to Jerusalem and sat him on a pinnacle of the temple and said unto him: "If thou be the Son of God cast thyself down from hence." Jesus answered, "It is said thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God." Then the devil tempted him a third time, offering Christ the kingdom of this world if he would worship him. The answer came, "Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God and him only shalt thou serve." The temptation i3 the expression of the period that intervened between Christ's private life and SET THE GOVERNOR RIGHT Unobtrusive Little Professor Rather Spoiled the Interest in the Conclusions Drawn. To hold Jown successfully the job of governor of a state or vice-presi dent of the United States one does not have to be up on oriental lan guages, says the New York Sun. So the Hon. Thomas R. Marshall never hesHatrs to tell this on himself. It was at a reception in Indianapolis his public ministry. One day Jesus was walking by the sea and he saw two men?Simon, called Peter, and Andrew, his brother, casting a net in the sea. And he said unto them: "Follow me and I will make you fishers of men." They straight way kit their nets and followed him. He walked on farther, when he came upon James, the son of Zebedee, and John, his brother, who were also in the ship mending their nets. He straightway called them and they left their father in the ship and followed him. Nathaniel was more doubtful about Christ's spiritual power until one day Jesus saith unto him: "Verily, verily I say unto you, hereafter ye shall see heaven open and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man." And Christ went from place to place until he had found his 12 apostles. He was unwill ing to rest then. He began to give food to the hungry, sight to the blind, health to the sick and comfort to aching hearts. Among the most illus trious of his miracles was when he constrained his disciples to go on board the boat and row across the lake to Capernaum. Then he sent away the great crowd of people who Were still eager that he should be their king. When they were all gone and ne was lert alone ne went up into tne mountain to pray. While he was praying in tho night a great storm came up on the lake. When the storm was at its height Jesus went to his dis ciples walking on the water as though the oea were dry land. Then the men in the boat saw a strange figure coming near them and Jesus called out to them: "Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid." After Jesus had performed many mira cles the people asked him to do. these things to satisfy the:r curiosity. When he refused them they became angry and left h!m. Finally, Jep.us turned to his 12 apostles and asked: "Will ye also go away and leave me?" But Simon Peter an swered him: "Lord, to whom shall we go? For thou only hast the words of everlasting life." One day, on entering the temple, he saw that the mer chants and brokers were making everything sub servient to their avarice. His anger rose at his seeing these unholy doings in the temple. He did not hesitate as to what should be done. He threatened the traders with a scouree of small cords, drove them out and said to them: "Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise." After he left Jerusa lem he went directly to Aenon, near Salem, which was the field of John the Baptist's labors. Here he spent most of his time from the Passover to the late harvest. He wished to instruct his dis ciples more thoroughly in his teaching. He did not go back to Jerusalem until the feast place when the Bulgarian iriving the Turks out of e battle of Kirk Kelisseh 2n fought. le that?'Kirk Kelisseh,' " a governor of Indiana. "It ty Churches,' or, rather Vow, isn't it queer that kirk,' which, as we all ds for 'church' in the acular, and which appears and other languages of rope, should have precise i meaning in Turkish. It makes us wonder whethe may not have had a cor and if that is so it wo be found that that sourc East." There was a murmui from every one except ai little professor, who had ing near the group. "Pardon me, governor," "but your conclusions, w ing, might be called?er, leading. It is precisely ti Kelisseh is the Turkisl Childhoodof Cfiriat? + of the Passover. It was then he hedled a man who had been lame for 38 years. It was then that he told them that the bread which he was about to give them was to be the self-sacrlflce of the bodily life for the salvation of mankind. Soon after Jesus left Bethabara with his disciples and came to Bethany. There he found a man named Laza rus that had' been dead for four days. Martha and Mary could not be comforted concerning the death of their brother. Jesus, weeping, said: "Take ye away the stone," and cried in a loud voice, "Laz arus, come forth," and he that was dead came forth. i Then he iwent to the Mount of Olives, where his disciples followed him. When he came down he rode into Jerusalem, followed-by a crowd of many men, women and children bearing palms. As he rode into the city all the throng was curious and asked, "Who fs this?" And the multitude answered: "This Is Jesus, t,he prophet of Nazareth." He then went to the temple time and again teaching many things and performing miracles. It was at this time that Jesus and his disciples partook of the last supper. While they were eat mg he took the bread and blessed it Then he broke It and passed It to each one of his disciples. At the Bame time he said: "This is my body which is broken for you; this do in remembrance of me." Afterwards he took the cup of "wine and passed it to each of his disciples with the words: "This cup Is the new testament in my blood, which is sh$d for you." ^ x When the feast was going on he washed the feot of all his disciples. This means that all who follow him should serve each other. While he was talking he grew sad and said: "Verily, verily I say to you that one of you that is eating with me shall betray me and give me up to those that will kill me." Then Jesus dipped a piece of bread and gave it to Judas, saying: "Do quickly what you are going to do." After he had waited a few min V?"'Pafnro mnrn!n?r PHTTTPS P.VP.TV fine ULC3 UU auu^u. mviwxu iuwa ( will leave me alone; yet I will not be alone, for my Father will be with me." He wanted to be alone for he knew that in a little time Judas would be there with a band of men who would epize him. Suddenly the disciples heard the noise of a crowd. When they saw the swords flashing they knew that Judas had betrayed Christ. Before he was seized he made a speech to i\is disciples and the crowd. He was then led away to Caiaphas, the high priest, and when morning was come they delivered him to Pontius Pilate and he was tried before this Roman governor, who was an enemy of Jesus, and was therefore glad of an opportunity Mo vex him. After Judas saw that Christ was l|$pndelhned he felt remorse. In honor of the commg Passover one criminal was to be pardoned and he wished that it should be Christ. It was now too late. With two condemned crim inals, Jesus himself carried the instrument of death to the place of execution. Stripped of nearly all his clothing, he was lifted up to the cross and nailed by his hands and feet. After many hours Joseph and his friends took down the body, wrapped it in fine linen, and laid it in the tomb. The body lay there from one evening of Friday, when he died on the cross, to the dawn of Sunday, which is Easter. When the women came to the sonnvtiro m-iov nnw that the seal was broken and the stone was rolled away. It was empty and an angel appeared and said: "Fear ye not, for I know he seek Jesus, which was crucified. He Is not here, for he Is risen as he said." And after ward Jesus appeared to hi3 disciples and they gave him food and he ate. They talked with him and he rejoiced, saying: "Peace be unto you. Receive ye the Holy Ghost." This was the fifth time Jesus had showed himself to his friends.

SELLERS, Director of Evening Department, The Moody Bible Institute, Chicago.) LESSON FOR APRIL 12 THE JOURNEY TO EMMAciS. /Paatup I Aeftnn \ LESSON TEXT?Luke 24:13-38. GOLDEN TEXT?"Who Is he that shall condemn? It Is Christ Jesus that died, yea rather, that was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us." Rom. 8:34. We turn aside today to consider as the Easter lesson a well-known event In connection with the several appear ances of our Lord/ after his resurrec tion; one of the many infallible proofs, Acts 1:3; I Cor. 15:4. The narrative of this journey is one of the most beautiful post-resurrection stories, simple, clear and of great value. It is related, evidently, by an eye witness. The Cleopas mentioned Is not the son of Mary, John 19:25. The name of the second pilgrim is but a conjecture, though we somehow feel it was Luke himself. The journey was about sev^n and one-half miles and most likely they were returning to their homes after the Passover. Somewhere on the way a stranger joined them who asked the nature of their conversation, and the cause of their evident sadness (v. 17). In astonishment, Cleopas answers,' but the stranger continues and adroitly draws out their entire story. Interesting Progression. I. Their Disappointment, vv. 13-M. It Is all too evident that they did not expect a resurrection and that, filled with perplexity and discouragement they were on the Verge of despair. It is interesting in this lesson to observe the progression (1) "and they talked" v. 14; (2) "and they 'found not," v. 23; (3) "and they saw not," v. 24; (4) "and they constrained him," v. 29; (5) "and they knew him," v. 31; (6) "and they said . . . the Lord Is risen," vv. 32, 34; (7) "and they told," v. 34. As they "talked" it was revealed that their loving hearts were full of sadness ^and empty of faith, yet to talk is often the only Way to find relief from' the gnawing of grief. There seem (v. 15 R. V.) to have heon twn nnlninna and In their slOW ness of heart and unbelief they did not recognize their new companion. In response to his query they told how this Jesus had been delivered, con demned, crucified, and then revealed that this was to- them the end of all things, for said they, "We had hoped 4hat it was he." Are we willing he should have part in our every conver sation? Continuing they told the amazing tale related by the women and, moreover that their statement vpf an empty tomb had been verified by certain women who had gone to in vestigate, but, in conclusion, they again reverted to their sadness by saying "They found his -body" and' moreover, "Him they saw not." Such mystery, such disappointment was too great. Still there was a trace of faith remaining In that he was still to them "a prophet mighty in word and deed," but he was not Christ the son of the living God. The trouble was thev were exnectine a man (v. 21), and to remove the man meant to re move all hope. His death was a mys tery and not necessarily a part of the work of redemption and thereby a proof of his being the Redeemer of Israel. They must have remembered his words (v. 21), yet three days are now past and still they had not seen him. The report of the women was to them only an "Idle tale (Luke 24:11),'still it was incomprehensible that "Him they found not." Cause of Sadness. II. His Appointment, vv. 25-35. Evidently the journey was continued and he gently rebukes them for their slowness of heart to believe the rec ord of their own prophets. All sad ness, practically, arises from unbe lief in the Word of God, Phil. 4:6, 7; Rom. 8:28-32. He Interpreted to them the true Messianic teaching of their own scriptures. He charges them with folly not to believe "all" of the record (v. 25). True wisdom is not that of skepticism which cuts out portions of the word,N but, according to Jesus, It consists in believing all of the Scriptures. At last they reach Em maus, still, let us remember, not knowing who it is walking with them. The road beyond was dangerous and "they constrained him" to accept their hospitality. As he sat at the table partaking of the ordinary evening meal, he assumed the place of the ho&t, took the br^ad, blessed it and broke it. Instantly those old familiar acts and words revealed to them who it was that had walked by the way. In that moment they knew him, and im mediately he vanished. As one awak ening from a dream they seem to have had a vague realization and to have known nothing of any fear, but now with a new gladness in their hearts at the verity and reality of things they hastened back to Jerusa lem where "they told what things were done in the way and how he was known of them in breaking of bread," v. 35. III. Teaching Points. This narra tive is so full of teaching and yet j so clear and simple that it is hard to suggest any ordinary deductions therefrom. The story does, however, reveal the interest of the risen Lord in the doubt of these two disciples. Thalt they were probably not of the twelve is evident by the fact that when they returned to Jerusalem they found the eleven assembled (v. 33). Thus we see him going to those out side of that inner circle, also, two who ioved him seeking a solution of the mystery and consolation for their sad hearts. First hiding his identity, he drew from them their story. He then took them back to their Scrip tures, with which they must have been familiar, and revealed to them that this mystery was according to those holy writines. Gifted Princess Sophia.
