C rv I will always use Hunt's Cure for gg' Itching trouble, and tell all I see about It I could shout now to know that we are all well of that dreadful trou ble. The first of last fall my little boy broke out with some kind of Itching I trouble. Thinking his blood was bad I gave blm a good tonic, but he got worse, and could not sleep at night. 8ome said he had Itch, and told me what was good for it. 1 used what people said would cure It, but nothing did any good. My other two children and myself took the disease from him in January, 1911. I saw Hunt's Cure advertised and 1 purchased a 50c. box It helped my little boy so much I got A box for each of the family, and now we are all well of that awful trouble.

This Is an eminently flttlng use for the Joyous anniversary and it is perfectly natural, if not Inevitable, considering the great and growing interest of the whole American peoplo in feats of skill that call for mental and muscular agility. Moreover Its acceptance as a day of sport is not confined to the small towns on the one hand, nor to the large cities on the other, but is In actual fact universal That Americans have come to rec ognize the Fourth as a day when lovers of athletics of all kinds may j enjoy their favorite sports to theit | | fill is a matter of congratulation, for | a good many or us taKe iew enougn "days off" during the summer.

The structlon of the ?rmv was probably nth west of Judah toward Egypt. The importance of the event which rms the subject of this lesson is own by the fact that its history is ven in three books of the Hible, and obably referred to in another, ocpylng seven or eight chapters, beles the clay cylinder on which Sentcherib made his own record. It was a great crisis In Israel's hisry like the exodus, and return from ; ptivity, a signal landmark, to teach id warn and encournge and comfort * ?I raei in oiner great crises, unu mo itlons and Individuals of all times. Hezekiah. although the son of a bad ther (but a good mother), began his ign with a thorough and widespread formation and revival of the true rejion, even while the Assyrians were vadlng the Northern Kingdom. He eansed and repaired the temple, reored the temple services, and proded for the support of the Invites id for popular religious instruction om the books of the law, thus bringg about a great uprising against olatry. The result was most happy. "Hezeah had exceeding much riches and mor." His kingdom was tranquil, rong and wealthy. But one constant inger threatened Judah?the growg power of Assyria, whose overlordlip Ahaz had acknowledged, against le urgent protests of Isaiah. In 701 R. C. the great invasion of alestine was made by Sennacherib, ith a double siege of Jerusalem, fnnacherib sent an army demanding ic surrender of Jerusalem. He may rve felt that It was a mistake to ave In his rear so powerful a fortiss, while he had still to complete ie overthrow of the Egyptians." The Assyrians, coming near to the \ alls of the cltv and speaking through abshakeh, the chief officer of Senicherib. made the contest one hereon Jehovah and the Assyrian Idols, stween the true religion, the one cans of redeeming the world, and ezoklah, and Isaiah, and apparently ie scribes and elders, clothed In ickcloth, went into the temple and rayed from their Inmost souls. Note how afflictions lead to prayer, ezekiah saw before him captivity, ifferlng, probably death, the loss of is kingdom, the extinction of his , tie, the exile of his people. Ilutabovo II he saw the fall of true religion, ! ie dishonor of Hod's name, a relig us and moral loss to the world. We i lould pray for temporal blessings, >r whatever wo need; but at the j inie time we should never let the de- I re for earthly things overshadow the irgtr and nmre Important spiritual itereRts; but rather, as In Hezekiah's ise, the pressure of personal need tiould make more intense the desire )r tiod's cause and kingdom. Then came a message from God trough Isaiah. Hitherto Isaiah's mesr?ge had been one of warning to udah, in or.der to make them so obeiont to God that the relief could onto to them as a blessing. Now his lessage concerns the Assyrians, but lso shows Judah why God comes to lelr help. The wonderful deliverance came hen the angel of the Ixjrd smote f the Assyrians a hundred and four- | core and Ave thousand. Just where his occurred we do not know. Hut ennacherib was marching toward ,'gypt. The deliverance was a delivranee of Egypt as well as of Judah. he scene may well have been near ,'gypt. Whether it was by a storm, r pestilence, no one knows. It Is etnarkable that the histories of both is chief rivals in this campaign, Ju- I ah and Egypt, should contain Inde endent reminiscences of so sudden nd miraculous a disaster to his host. ! From Egyptian sources there has I ome down through Herodotus a story hat a king of Egypt, being deserted y the military caste, when Sennaherib, king of the Arabs and Assy- | lans invaded his country, entered ms ancUiary and appealed with weeping o his god; that the god appeared and heered him; that he raised an army if artisans and marched to meet Senincherib In Peluslum; that by night , multitude of field mice ate up the luivers. bowstrings and shieldstrars if the Assyrians; and that, as these led on tiie morrow,' ver> many of hem fell. A stone statue of the king, tdds Herodotus, stood in the temple >f Hephaestus, having a mouse In the .and. Now, since the mouse was a lymbol of sudden destruction, and 'ven of the plague, this story of lerodotus seems to be merely a pieuresque form of a tradition that pesti ence broke out in the Assyrian camp. There Is nothing In the Mible record hat contradicts the belief that the lisaster occurred in the neighborhood >f Peluslum and the Serbonian hog in jortheastern Kgypt. it was a plate errihie for filth and miasma. A Persian army was decimated here In he middle of the fourth century lie ore Christ. Napoleon's army barely ?sraj ed destruction here. The amount of the Assyrian loss was enormous, and implies of course i much higher figure for the army which was vast enough to suffer it; uut here are some instances for com parison. In the early Herman invasions of Paly whole armies and camps were swept away by the pestilential Miniate. The losses of the first rrtt?tide were over 300,000. The soldiers >f the Third crusade, upon the Fcen" ;>f Sennacherib's war, were reckoned fit more tlian nan .a minion, uimi men losses by disease alone at over 100,000. The grand army of Napoleon entered Russia 250,000, but came out, having suffered no derisive deffat, only 12,000; on the retreat from Moscow alone 00.000 perished. Rut It was under God's control and It was his salvation that saved Jerusalem. The parallel with the Bible narrative Is close. In both accounts It Is a prayer of the king that prevails. In both the deity sends his agent?In the grotesque Egyptian an army of mice, In the sublime Jewish his angel. In both the effects are sudden, happening In a single night. From the Assyrian side we have this corroboration: that King Sennacherib did abruptly return to Nineveh without taking Jerusalem or meeting with Tlrbakah, and that, though this Egyptian ruler reigned for tw;nty years more, ho never again mode a Syrian campaign.
