Text of the Lesson, a Conprehensive Quarterly Review-Golden Text, Ps. exxi, 5-Cornmentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. [Copyright, 1905, by Anerican Press AuSociation.] LEsSON I.-Sennacherib's invasion (11 (iron. xxxii, 0-23). Golden Text, 11 Chron. xxxii, R, "With us is the Lord our God to help us and to fight our bttles." One of the most beautiful things in this lesson, which -is so full of the manifestation of the carnal mind, is t:) see the king and the prophet tak in- hold of God in prayer (verse 20) and to note their -ain in asking deliv erance. "That all the kingdoms of the earth may know that Thou art the Lord God, even Thou only" (II Kings -xix. 1) LEss-oN 1.-Hezek:Iiih's prayer (Isa. xxxviii, I-S). Goldea Text, Ps. xlvi, 1. "God is our refuge nud strength, a very present help in trouble." In last lesson the trouble was national; now it Is i personal, but the king seems Wore cast down then in the last. Sometines a great calamity is b~orne better than a small trial. H1ezekiah had not the bright future before him which we have (Phil. I I, :21. 231; there was no risen Christ, and1 yet he nad as much light as Moses ana Aaron, from whom we hear no complaint when told their time had come. LEssoN IIL--The suffering Saviour (Isa. lii, 13; liii. 12). Golden Text, Isa. liii, G. "-The Lord hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all." From Gen. iii, 21, on through Gen. xxii, Ex. xii, Ps. xxii. and notably in this lesson we have set before us a Messiah of Israel who must suffer-'The Lamb slain from the foun ddation of the world" (Itev. xiii, 8), the sinuers' substitute. suffering in our stead. bearing our sins in Ilis own body on the tree, dying the just for the unjust. LxssoN IV.-The gracious invitation (Isa. lv, 1-13). Golden Text, Isa. lv, 0, "Seek ye the Lord while He may be found." If we would understand and walk with God we must let His ways and Iis thoughts displace ours. In ref erence to blessing uIon all nations, aft er Israel has '>een blessed with the sure mercies of Javid (verse 3), then all nations sh:.1 run to Israel (verse 5). LEssox Y.-Manasseh's sin and re pentance (.1 Chron. xxxiii, 1-13). Golden Text, Prov, xiv, 34, "Righteousness ex alteth a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people." The invitation of last les son is even for such as Manasseh or Barabbas or Saul of Tarsus. The won derful grace of God is for the chief of sinners. The Scriptures fully set forth the love of God and the sin of man that all may know that the Lord is God (ve~rse 13). LESsoN VI.--Josiah's good reign (II Chron. xxxiv, 1-13). Golden Text; Eel. xii, I, "Remember now thy Cre tor in the days of thy youth." "Right in the sight of the Lord" is a statement that should become part of the very be ing of every believer, as it implies the fellowship which- brings heaven to earth. It means doing always those things that please Him. LESsox VIL.-Josiah and the Book of the Law (II Chron. xxxiv, 14-2S). Gold en Text, Ps. cxix, 10, "I will not forget thy word." Josiah's reverence for the word of God indicated God's special favor to him, "ccording to Isa. lxvi, 2. Blessed are all such. And yet how rea sonable that we should reverence, re ceive meekly and believe fully and obey promptly all that God has said. LEsSON TIHL-Jehoiakim burns the word of God (Jer. xxxvi, 21-32). Golden Text, Jer. xxvi, 13, "Amend your ways and your doings and obey the voice of the Lord your God." In great contrast to Josiah and his submission to the word of God see this wi'ked son of his hating and delibc'rately destroying the message frozy ti;/Lord, but it only led, as always. to ai new and enlarged edi tion (verse 32). LEssoN IX.-Jeremiiah in the dungeon Jer. xxxviii, 1-13). Golden Text, Matt. v, 10, "less;ed are they which are per secuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." The father of lies told a big one when he said that Jeremiah was seeking the hurt and not the welfare of the people, but nothing is too bad for him who dares to make God a liar (Gen. ii, 17; iii, 4; I John v. 10). If we are the Lord's witnesses we must expect suchl treatment a's He received. LEssoN X.-The captivity of Judahi (II Chron, xxxvi, 11-21). Golden Text, Num. xxxii, 23, "Be sure your sin will ind you out." The iniquity of Judah caec to a head, as that of Israel had done ov'er 100 years before, and the Lord did just what H~e had said by the mouth of Jeremiah that He would do (verse 21). LEssox XI.--The life giving stream (Ezek. xlvii, 1-12). Golden Text, Rev. xxii, 17, "Whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely." While we are taught to expect that from the Holy City there shall flow real water to the Dead sea and also eastward, the prac tical truth for our hearts is that Jeho vah H-imself is the fountain of living water (Jer. ii, 13), which is ever'fiow ing from the throne of God for us, and naught else can ever satisfy the thirst of our souls. ,LEssox XII.-Daniel in Babylon (Dan. f, S-20). Golden Text, Dan. i, 8, "Dan iel urposed In his heart that he would not denle himself." People like Daniel are greatly needed, who will stand be fore God rather than the great ones of this world and keep themselves wholly for Him at all costs. "The Lord liveth before whom I stand" was as truly Daniel's motto as it was that of Elijah and Elisha. Notice the Lord working in verses 2, 9, 17, and lay It to heart that He is a God who worketh for him who waiteth for Him (Isa. lxiv, 4, Rev. T er.). The Colonel's Waterloo. Colonel John M. Fuller, of Honey Grove Texas, nearly met his Waterloo from liver and kidney trouble. In a re ent letter he says: "I was nearly dead of these complaints, and although I tried my family doctor he did me no ood so I got a 50c bottle of your great Electric Bitters, which cured me. I onsider them the best medlicine on eareh, and thank God who gave you the knowledge to make them." Sold and guaranteed to cure, dyspepsia, bil iousness and kidney troubles, by The Pluck and Success. Au argument against discourage ment after repeated failures is offered by the life of George Frederick Watts, the great English painter. That he was quite the most impor tant of Great Britain's artists is now everywhere admitted, yet his merit was not generally recognized until aft er he had passed his sixtieth birthday. Before he died he said, with a smile, that he had never been discouraged one in spite of all the unjust criticism and, more maddening still, the utter indifference with which his pictures were received until after he had begun to descend the hill toward the valley of old age. How to be Plump. Most people constantly suffer from loss of appetite. especially for break fast, an unpleasant taste in the mouth, low spirits; irritability, with a heavy, dull headache. biliousness, sick head ache, blotches on the skin, lack of tvr ergy and a feeling of weariness. ali (J which are due to constipation. Consti pation is the forerunner of indigestion, sluggish liver and nervousness, and it is of the utmost importance that the bowels should be gently regulated by a reliable aperient. Dr. King's Blood and Liver Pills meet this want. 25c -tt Dr. W. E. Brown & Co.'s. Shipping an Elephant. An elephant is without doubt the most difficult passenger to load of any in the world. It is rarely that the best of them can be induced to walk aboard a ship as did the traditional pair of elephants who boarded the ark. To overcome their objection they are usually first*coaxed or forced to enter great wooden boxes, when they are securely fastened and the entire out fit is hoisted with a derrick to the level of the decic and swung aboard. A Laxative Cough Syrup. A cold or cough nearly always pro duces constipation-the water all runs to the eyes, nose and- throat instead of passing out of the system through the liver and kidneys. For the want of moisture the bowels become dry and hard." Kennedy's Laxative Honey and Tar is the original Laxative Cough Syrup. It meets and corrects the above conditions. by acting acting as a pleas ant cathartic on the bowels. expels all colds from the systen and cure; all coughs. croup, whooping cough, La Gaippe, bronchitis, etc..
