BIRTH OF JOHN FORETOLD.

I MEMORY VERSES?15, 15.
| GOLDEN TEXT?"Without faith It
; Impossible to please God.'?Heb. 11:8.
The Old Testament closes with
prophecy; the New Testament open
with the announcement of the fulfil
ment of that prophecy. Thus bot
Testaments are characterized In thl
lesson: The Testament, prophecy
tho New Testament, fulfillment 1
is clear from our Lord's own word
that John the Baptist fulfilled this 01
Testament prediction, (Mat. 17: 1<
13). It may be that a more Uteri
fulfillment lsc still future, preceedin
Christ's second inning.

were both righteous. By that Is nc
ireant that they were either sinles
or perfect?no human being is tha
?but that they were parents whos
whole heart, mind, and strength wer
dedicated to the will and service c
God. Zacharias' unbelief shows tba
he was not sinless.
This is the kind of people tbroug
whom God is willing, and ready eve
today to fulfill his promise and bles
the world?not through perfect pec
pie, but through those who are cot
stantly striving after perfectloi
There is no limit to the blessings Go
j will confer upon the world throug
! us if only we will not touch the glorj

lug his duty. And so It is alwayt

humble seclusion was used to bles
; the world just as much as Zacharia
who was exercising a priestly functioi
so high that the opportunity came t<
a priest but onco in a lifetime. Goc
chooses the weak things as well a:
the great things: D. L. Moody, the nn
educated shoe clerk, as well as Paul
the scholar. So Isaac was a quie
man and dwelt in tents.
The next thing to which our atten
tion is the content of the prophecy
First, it concerns a child. Zachariai
ard Elizabeth were childless. It ii
no sin to be childless provided that <
law of nature is violated. It is a sac
thing to be cnlldless. At least it wai
so considered in uid Testament days
Would that it werp considered so to
Jay! A revival of the mother lnstinc
is needed.
This child was to be an extraordin
ary child?well every mother's cbtlc
is wonderful! This child was to gt
before the Lord and prepare his way
just as your child may follow after th<
Lord and walk in his steps?a worth]
career for both John and your child
and every child. Why should we noi
hold this ideal constantly befon
childhood?
Upon tho promised child was to resi
the vow of the Nazarite. That mean
two things: Absolute prohibltior
from intoxicants, and entire dedlca
tion to God. Can you think of an)
two things more uesirable for youi
child, for every child? These par
ents had an ideal before them foi
their child, and that was a tremend
ous help. Have you? Or do yoi
bring your child up at random? Star
today with an ideal. Let it be high
let it be the highest, even Christ.
The mission of John, the Baptist
was to be perormed by the aid of th<
Holy Spirit. Is there not a subth
contrast hero between the prohlbitioi
of intoxication and the filling witl
the spirit? Just as the person unde
the influence of intoxicating liquor li
governed and controlled by such splr
Its. so the Christian worker is to be
come so fulfilled with the spirit tha
every part of him?intellect, sensibili
ties, Will, feelings, are under thi
spirit's control. This spiritual equip
ment is what is needed for Christiai
workers today, "Not by might, nor b;
power, but by ray Spirit, saith tin
Lord."
Because the Baptist was spirit-fill
ed, he was enabled to turn the heart
of the children towards their fathers
Doubtless the Jews had become taint
ed with the idolatry of the surround
ing nations so that they had *to somi
extent forsaken the faith of the ps
triarchs. Spirit-filled men are ncede<
tcday to turn the hearts of the pret
ent generation back towards th<
faith once delivered unto the saints
Every Christian has the Holy Spii
it. Just as Egypt has the river Nile
but every Christian does not have th<
fullness of the Spirit, any more thai
Egypt always has the overflow of th<
Nile; and just as the overflow of thi
Nile means a bountiful harvest t(
Egypt, so the infilling and overflow
ing of the spirit In the believer mean:
a bountiful harvest of fruit unto eter
nal life.
It is strange, is it not. that Zachat
ias should doubt in the presence o
this heavenly visitor! Surely on<
should believe in the presence of sucl
a sign as this. There are people tr
day who say that they would believ
if they could hear a voice from tin
otner shore speaking to them, or i
one should come to them from th
other life. Did the Jews believe evei
though Lazarus came back to then
Troni the dead? No. If we believ
not the scriptures, neither would w
he persuaded in the presence of s
supernatural a sign as this. Zacha
-ias continued ministrations.
Spiritual Needs.
Faith is not merely trusting flod t
;rre for our spiritual needs. That i
only part. In fart, eomething natura
or earthly enters iuto and becomes ai
important factor in every act of faith
Faith is a kind of triangle. It is mai

PROMINENT PHYSICIANS FAIL IN
KIDNEY TROUBLE?A WOMAN'S
GOOO_ADVICE.
I regard Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Hoot
as the best medicine for kidney and
bladder trouble I have ever taken and
I will always recommend it to all that
are afflicted with bladder or kidney
trouble. For eleven months I was atflFeted
with Wdney and bladder trouble
In violent form. The symptoms In
my case were fearful. During all this
time I was being treated by the best
and foremost doctors of the country,
all of them failing to afford me the
slightest relief and I continued to
grow worse all the time and while 1
had utmost confidence in their treatment,
it seemed that the time had
come in my case when I must try other
remedies, consequently, I resorted
to the use of Swamp-Koot an<1 before
I had taken three small bottles, every
pain and symptom had completely disappeared.
For any form of kidney
trouble, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Hoot is
the medicine to use. I have never
known It to fail in a single case.

BULLETIN FROM PUBLISHERS
Postal Committee of the A. N. P. A.
Calls the Post Office a Badly
Managed Business.
Washington.?The protest of the
publishers against the proposition to
increase second-class mail rates as
the congressional post office commission
desires Is growing Btronger dally.
The Illinois Daily Newspaper Publishers'
association tegistered Its objections
recently, and now the American
Newspaper Publishers' association's
postal committee, of which the chair
man i? uvu oeiiz ui uie .>ew iur?.
World, has Issued the following bulletin:
"The extent -to which the post
office department does not carry second-class
matter Is well revealed In
the following abstract of inquiry of
publishers conducted by house committee
on expenditures in the poBt
office department (William A. Ashbrook,
chairman) concerning the volume,
weight and handling of the output
of publications entered as mail
matter of the second-class for the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1911:
" 'Inquiry was made of all publishers,
approximating thirty thousand, of
which nearly seventeen thousand are
weekly publications.
" 'More than ten thousand returns
were received, embracing sixty-six
plus per cent, of all tonnage of publications.
" 'The publications reporting represent
an annual output of more than
six and one-half billion copies, the
tvelght of which was one and threejuarter
billion pounds.
" 'These publications delivered by 1
mail in such period weighed 633,012,102
pounds.
" 'They delivered by their own carders,
newsboys, and news companies 1
540.46C.574 pounds, of which an unas- i
ertained percentage was carried to i
iestination by express and other rail
shipments outside the mail. They deIvered
by express. 202,729,510 pounds,
md by other rail shipments 121,491.748
pounds. The rate by express and
all varies from V4 to 1 cent per
lound, but the bulk of these shipments
went at a rate of 14 to cent
)er pound.
" 'The post office for the year endng
June 30, 1911, handled 951,001,169,
and excluding one-half million
:ounds free in county matter, it revived
one cent per pound.'
"All this goes to add to the aburdity
of the proposed Hitchcock legslation
doubling the second-class rate :
rom one to two cents per pound, and j
Imiting the 'privilege' to publications |
hat. carry as much reading matter as |
hey do advertising.
"The proposition was stupid enough
hen the postal deficit reached $17,- j
00,000 two years ago. It becomes
reposterous in face of a surplus.
"What business has a transports- I
ion corporation, which is all the post
ffice is, to prescribe how a business
hall be conducted?
"Newspapers cannot afford to exand
their columns beyond the call
f the day's news, nor can they be
xpected to control the requirements
f their advertisers who have a right
o reach the public as copiously as
hey care to.
"It cannot be assumed that such
pgislation will ever get by congress. |
iut publishers are requested to fight
he theory that the right to send their | 1
iutput by mail is a "privilege." The ! 1
igures show it is not.
"The post office is a badly maniged
business. That is all. We
hould fight its dictation, its censor
hip and its inefficiency."

BEST TRICK NOT IN THE AIR:
Vviator Was Clever at His Work,
but Shone Beat in Another
Line of Endeavor.
Henry M. Neely, the aviator poet of
Philadelphia, said at a recent banquet
it the Bellevue-Stratford:
"Yea, It 1b true that It takes a lot
>f money to become an airman. You j
ap't.get an .aeroplane nnd you can't I
earn to fly without plenty of cash."
Mr. Neely smiled.
"I was watching a brother airman
naking a volplane the other day
vhen I heard a young lady say:
" 'He can do a lot of tricks, can't
ie?'
'"Yea, you bet he can,' he/compan- :
on agreed.
" 'What Is his best trick?' she conInued.
"'His best trick, far and away,' was !
he reply, 'Is buying a biplane on credt.
He's done It twice now, and I
ihouldn't be surprised to see him pull |
t off a third time before he breaks his
teck.'"

ITCHING ECZEMA
"Eight years ago I got eczema all
sver my hands. My fingers fairly bled
ind it itched until it almost drove me
frantic. The eruption began with
itching under the skin. It spread fast
from between the fingers around the
nails and all over the whole handB. I
got a pair of rubber gloves in order to
wash dishes. Then it spread all over
tho left side of my chest. A fine doctor
treated the trouble two weeks, but ;
did me no good. I cried night and
day. Then 1 decided to try Cuticura
Soap and Ointment but without much
hopo as I had gone so long. There
was a marked chango the second day,
and so on until I was entirely cured.
The Cuticura Soap we have always
kept in our home, and we decided
after that lesson that it is a cheap
Boap in price and the very best in
quality. My husband will use no other
soap in his shaving mug." (Signed) j
Mrs. G. A. Selby, Redonda Reach, I
Cal., Jan. 15, 1911. Although Cuticura j
Boap and Ointment are sold by drug- '
gists and dealers everywhere, a sam- j

She?I am sorry I ever married you!

Jones Admitted It.
Jones and Brown argued as they always
did when they had time enough.
They had dined together, and as Jones
lived at a distance and it was very j
late Brown offered to put him up for |
the night.
On ihs way home they fell to dis- |
cusrlng the strategy of the Civil war
as indicated by the campaigns of Lee
and ('.rant. The topic was elastic
enough to keep them going for half
an hour, and reached 'is height as
they neared the Brown house.
Then Brown lost his temper. 1
'Jones," said he, "if you don't admit
I
that Grant was a greater general than
Lee. you ran't sleep here."
It was then two o'clock in the morn- I
Ing, and Jones was eight miles from
home.?Chicago Post.
Think of It!
Two brothers, each of v.hotn is nearly

the pair of giants in wonder and awe,
she exclaimed:
"Great heavens! Suppose there
nad been only one of you!"
