A- wealthy woman of S^iunem, observing that Elisha passed continually by her house In his Journeys, was moved with com passion toward him. She determined according to her ability to supply his needs. 2. Its nature (vv. 8-11). “She constrained him to eat bread” (vv. 8,- 9). As a result of her Earnest en treaty, as often as he passed by her house he turned In to eat bread. She re<*lved a prophet in the name of a prophet. II. Elisha Endeavors to Ropay Hor Kindness (vv. 12-17). 1. He offers to ask a favor from the king or head of the army (v. 13). This offer Implies that Elisha bad Influence at the royal court. The womana re ply sliows her truly to be a great I woman. She did not desire to change the calm and quiet of her home fur a place' even In the royal court. Her answer also shows that her motive In extending generosity to the prophet was entirely unselfish, purely because I he was God's prophet. 2. Elisha announces the giving of j a s«*n to her (w. Ifi, '17). Through ' inquiry of Uebazl It waa discovered that this woman was childless. So the prophet made known to her that ! In about a year from that time the I should experlewee the Joy of a mother. III. The Coming of Borrow to the ‘ thunamnute's Home (vv. 18-21). The child which brought Joy. to her home was suddenly taken away. : How many homes are like this! Scarce- i ly do wo begin to enjoy life until death enters and snatches swsy sums loved one. The cause of his death waa probably sunstroke, for the beat at the sun at harvest time in this country ! Is very Intense. When tfie boy com plained of his head, the father sent ; him home to his mother. By noon ; the child died and the mother laid him upon the bed of the man of God. Fflltb prompted her to do this, j She did not make preparation for 1 burial, but for restoration to life (Heb. 11:35). IV. Th# Mothsr Goes to Elisha (w. 22 28). When one In In trouble or sorrow I thereat place to go la to the man ot I God who Is able to give counsel and comfort. Happy la the one who In the days of prosperity and sunshine has so related himself to God and His prophets that be can have help and sympathy In time of trouble. 1. She took hold ot Elisha's feet (v. 27). This was the eastern way of enforcing a petition. She passed by Gehazi. She would not be content with the servant when the master could be reached. 2. She chided the prophet (v. 28). “Did I desire a son7“ This implies that it would have been better not to have had a child than to have lost him so soon. ^ V. The Child Restored (vv. 29-37). 1. Uehuzi's fruitless errand (vv. 29- 31). He hurried away and. Disced the prophet's staff upon the ehnd’s face, but It did not revive. Perhaps the fault lay in Gbhazi—his lack of faith. The woman seemed to perceive his, lack; she would not trust him. She would not go until Elisha was wilW ing to go along. This fruitless erraim of Gehazi shows the worthlessness of the forms of religion when used by those who have no faith in them. 2. Elisha’s efficient service (*y. 82- 37). He. went to the bouse where the dead child was. (1) He prayed (v. 33). He knew that no one but pod could help, so he closed the door, abutting all others out , Our service to men should b£ preceded by prayer. (2) He stretched himself upon the child (v. 34). He brought his warm body into touch with the cold body of the 'cblld.. God blesses and. saves through the warm touch of those vyho are In touch with Him. After we pray we should get Into actual toudr with those dead In trespasses snd sin. God’s method of saving the world is through the ministry ot saved men and women. A Daily Prayer. Keep back thy servant aIsq from pre sumptuous sins; let them not have do minion-over me; then shall I be op- right, apd I shall be Innocent from the great transgression. Let the words of aay month, and the meditation of my heart be acceptable la * tby sight. O Lofd, my strength, snd my Redeemer .—Psalm 19:13*14. - -- - --V ^ ^ THAN MAAM .

Among the lesser and more senti mental sacrifices the British feel Ihey are making fur Irish peace, there Is the prospect of the changed Unlor^ Jack. The diagonal red cross In the Uiilon Jack stands for Ireland. The original national flag was the banner of Kt. George, a plain red cross ou'a white background, in 1006 the Scottish flag, a white diagonal cross and a blue background, was blended with the white upright cross, *• with a blue background of the diagonal white cross being added. On the death of Charles I-the cross of St. George again became the na tional flag, but in 1706. after the union with Scotland, the cross stand ard with the blue background was restored. In 1801 the red cross of St. Patrick was superimposed on St. An drew’s ’cross, making .the present Union Jack.

They sat together; total strangers, on the narrow seat of a Fifth avenue bus. She was beautiful and conaclpus of It. And she felt his eyes upon her. She turned her lovely head and met his gaze. He was good to look upon, dark and virile, and In Ills clear eyes was a look of question and pleading. She turned away, her young hbxxf thrilling with the premonition of ro mance and adventure. Again she felt his longing hut hes itant gaze fixed upon her averted face. She flashed him »fleeting look of en couragement.

' Many people feel that they have to be agitated into wake fulness in the morning. They think that without the tea or coffee they take in the morning that they will not be able to meet the tasks and duties of the day. Nothing could be more false than this reasoning. Any doctor can tell you this. For a healthy body does not require a stim ulant. It gets all the »*imni^n» it needs from food. - The thein and caffeine found in tea and coffee are irritating to the hestft aind nervous system. They Jolt the nerves into undue activity.
