Clinton testimony has been pub lished to prove the merit of Doan’s Pills , to others in Clinton who suffer from bad backs and kidney ills. Lest any sufferer doubt this evidence of merit, we produce confirmed proof —statements from Clinton people who again endorse Doan’s Pills—confirm their former testimony. Here’s a Clinton case: Mrs. Joe Chandler, 61 Florida St., says: “The first symptom I had of kidney trouble was backache. When I swept, sharp pains shot down from the small of my back and fairly drove me wild. 1 was nervous and had lins in the back of my head. My eys didn’t act right at all. I also had dizzy spells and would near ly fall. I heard about Doan’s Pills and got a box. The first gave me relief and two boxes cured me." (Statement given November 19,1914). On January 21, 1922, Mrs. Chand ler said: ‘Time has not changed my opinion of Doan's. They cured me of mi attack of kidney trouble and I have not been bothered since. I gladly confirm all I said before.” 60c., at all dealers. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs; Buffalo, N. Y. WE CLEAN YOUR CLOTHES We .repair them. We press them. BUCHANAN’S PRESSING CLUB J^one 28^ Lesson ’ (By RRV. P. B. riTZWATBR, D.D., Teacher el Bnsllsh Bible la the Moody Bible Inatl- tnte of Chtcaao.) (©. 1*14. Wes taro Newspaper Union.) Lesson for April 27 AMOS AND HOSEA PLEADING FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS (Tempsrancs Lesson.) LESSON TEXT—Amos Hose* 6:1-6. GOLDEN TEXT—“Hate the evil, and love the good.”—Amos 6:16. PRIMARY TOPIC—How Daniel Be came Strong. JUNIOR TOPIC—Amoa Denounces Drunken Revelers. « INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP IC—The Sins Denounced by Amos and Hosea. YOUNG PEOPI.E AND ADULT TOP IC—Sins That Destroyed Israel. The kingdom of Israel reached a high state of prosperity In the time of Jeroboam II, and with it came a condition of luxury, corruption and wickedness. Our lesson Is a temper ance lesson and applies to other things as well as Indulgence 2u intoxicating liquor. Our age and nation are Intox icated with pleasure, pursuit of gain and selfish ambition. I. The Sine Which Ruined lerael (Amos 6:1-6). 1. Reckless Security (vv. 1.3). They were blind to the evils that surround ed them. They were living In a fool’s paradise, closing their eyes to the ap proaching storm of Judgment as pre dicted by Amos. They trusted in the mountains of Samaria for their pro tection. They regarded their city as impregnable. They no doubt regarded the utterances of Amos as the dreams of a fanatic. The chief ones of the nation were so puffed up with pride that they failed to read the signs of the times In the light of his tory (v. 2). To disregard the lessons of history by dismissing the thought of impending Judgment is to bring near the seat of violence’* (▼. 8). 2. Luxury (vv. 4-6). Periods of prosperity are always characterized by corruption and luxury. The luxury of Samaria expressed Itself In (1) Extravagant Furniture (v. 4). They had beds of Ivory, perhaps wood Inlaid with Ivory. . Y _ (2) Laziness (v. 4). They stretched themselves upon their couches—living lives of indolence. "T" 1 (3) Feasted on delicacies (v. 4). The implication here is that they had their dainties out of season. This Is what many pride themselves in. They buy what they desire regardless of what it costs. In many Instances men and women are living in gluttony while others are destitute. (4) Adorned their feasts with music (v. S). They sang idle songs, even Invented musical Instruments for this purpose. They prostituted the noble art of music to their sensual feasts. How like the times in which we live (5) They drank wine (v. 6). They were not content with ordinary drink ing vessels. They drank from howls, Indicating excessive drinking. They were so mastered by the intoxicating cup that their feasts, which were adorned with the refinements of music, ended In drunkenness. 3. Failure to Grieve for Joseph (v. 6). Joseph here stands for Ephraim and Manasseh, his two sons. Ephraim became the principal tribe of the northern kingdom, so Joseph Is used as a synonym for the nation. Many are indulging in Infamous lux ury, entirely indifferent to the groan ings of others. There is need of a modern Amos to thunder God’s Judg ment upon all those who are living In luxury and who Bre at ease in Zion— the Inevitable Issue of such living, the prophet assures them, would be that they should go Into captivity (v. 7) and their proud dty be delivered up ^o-thdr enemies (v. 8). II. The Remedy Propoeed (Hosea 6:1-0). -criL 1. Turn Back to God (▼. 1). The only way for sinning individuals anf nations to escape the judgment of God la with heartbreaking sorrow to re pent and return to God. Hosea as sures them that though God had torn and smitten them He will heal anc bind up If they repent 2. Believe in Hls Power to Restore (v. 2). This power even extends to a national resurrection for Israel. 8. Obedience (r. 8). It is through the obedient walk and communlcatioi with the Lord that they were to know His forgiving mercy. 4. The Issue (vv. 841). Such pent tence would make restoration abso lutely certain. Grace is even more cer tain than the lawe of nature. Just at showers result In fruitfulness in na ture, conformity with the righteout commands of the Lord will result in blessings from Him, for Hls Supreme desire is not for man to bring offer ings of sacrifice but to walk la the knowledge of God.
