Many Women in this Condition Re gain Health by Taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Convincing Proof of This Fact. Ridgway, Penn. - "I suffered from female trouble with backache and pain in my side for over seven months so I could not do any of my work. I was treated by three different doctors and was getting discouraged when my sister-in-law told me how Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound had helped her. I decided to try it, and it restored my health, so I now do all of my housework which is not light as I have a little boy three years old." -Mrs. 0. M. RHINES, Ridgway, Penn. Mrs. Lindsey Now Keeps House For Seven. Tennille,Ga.-"I want to tell you how much Ihave been benefited by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. About eight years ago I got in such a low state of health I was unable to keep house for three in the family. I had dull, tired, dizzy feelings, cold feet and hands nearly all the time and could scarcely sleep at all. The doctor said I had a severe case of ulceration and without an operation I would always be an Invalid, but I told him I wanted to wait awhile. Our druggist advised my husband to get Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and It has entirely cured me. Now I keep house for seven and work in the garden some, too. I am so thankful I got this medicine. I feel though It saved my life and have recommended it to others and y have been benefited".- -Mrs. W. E. LINDSEY, R. R. ., Tennille, Ga. If you want special advice write to Lydia E.

Western Newspaper 'Union.) LESSON FOR JULY I ISAIAH'S CALL TO HEROIC SERVICE. LESSON TEXT-Isaiah 6 GOLDEN TEXTr-Also I heard the voice of the Lord saying, Whom shall I send, and who will. go for us? Then said I, Here am 1; send me.-Isa. 6:8. The lesson committee now turn for a third quarter's lesson to a series of studies in the Old Testament as found in II Kings, Ezra and Nehemiah. As an introduction, they have chosen this chapter in the book of Isaiah. Isaiah prophesied in the latter half of Uzziah's reign, B. C. 760 and down to the early years of the reign of Manasseh aouti B. C. 094 (cli. 1:1). This event took place probably B. 'C. 755. The place was Jerusalem; the kingdom of Israel was still in exist ence (for 33 years longer) being ut terly destroyed in B. C. 721. The name Isaiah means "the salvation of Jehovah:" his wife is called "the prophetess;" two of his sons are named and his social position was high, as shown by his intimacy with kings. Isaiah lived in troublous times. He was a reformer seeking -to rescue his nation from the sins growing out of their disobedience to God. He was the leading statesman of his time, the greatest of the prophets, an author, a heroic, single-minded, patriotic, fear less, undaunted man of great personal power and influence. He was a proph et of hope; he wrote out of his long life of faithfulness and fellowship with God. The book of Isa'ah falls into two great divisions; chapters 1-39 be ingchiefly historical, interspersed with songs and poems; chapters 40-66 are a collectiorr of prophecies that have to do chiefly with the return from the Babylonian exile and the days of future glory for the kingdom of God. I. Visions (vv. 1-4). As we have said, Isaiah prophesied in a time of great need. The prophet was very much discouraged. In this passage he locates his vision at a special time and place (ch. 1:1). Every man's great need today is a real vision of God. We are not so much in need of theories about God, as a vision of God himself. Uzziah's long reign of 52 years, in which the kingdom pros pered and the king's name was spread abroad, stopped as suddenly as an earthquake, and his glory was eclipsed (see II Chron. 26:16-19). The place in which Isaiah saw his vision was the house of God. Perhaps not in the tem ple, but seeing the vision from the temple the prophet looks to a house not built with hands, Jehovah's own heavenly palace. Therein he saw "the Lord sitting on a throne . . . and his train filled the temple." - Above it, or around it, were arranged hovering couriers and the seraphic choir. The majesty of this vision is indicated in verse two, its glory in verse three, and its power is indicated in verse four. The whole earth was filled with God's wondrous wisdom, love and pow er. Literally "the whole earth is full of his glory." The Hebrewv word for' holiness comes from a word meaning "to set apart-set a distance from." The holy Lord is not only sinless but he is sublime and absolute also. It may seem difficult to harmonize Isaiah's vision with~ John 1 :18, yet these manifestations were one and the same, for all that saw Jesus saw God (John 14 :9). King Uzziah was dead but the real king was living still, high and lifted up. The attempt to reason about him, what he must be and what he must not he, as if he were one of ourselves (Eph. 1:20, 21) is absurd. Ii. Divisions (vv. 5-13). (1) The vision of the prophet (vv. 5-7). 'This vision brought conviction because it showed how far separated from God the prophet was. It also brought conversion in that he acknowledged himself to 1)e unclean, himself and his surroundings to be vile. It also led to cleansing, for the king heard the voice of the prophet, removed his guilt and purged his sin. (2) The voit-e andl proclamation from the king (vv. 8-13). The king called for a messenger (v. 8) and at once the prophet is found. Someone has saidl that "a task without a vision is drudgery; a vision with out a task is a dream; while a task linked to a vision will move the worldl." Not only did the king ask for a messenger, but he gave the mnessage which the messenger was to utter (vv. 9-12). The message was to he' to his own people; it was not to be a pleasant one. Verse 13 shows us this message in prcphecy. Isaiah ought to fully proclaim the truth, but thie pe-ople would not understandl it, and1( thme whole effect of his proclamation would h)e to harde~n them. The Application, W~hait is your application of this vision for Isaiah? WVe are a Chris tiani nation, but there, are many (Ie grees andl kinds of Christians; those who sincerely try to follow Jesus; those who live under a Christian goy ernment, and are unaffected by Chris tian influences. There is only one way to save this nation from going the way of.Ninevejh .andl~ Tyre; that is, that just Iee anid righteomindss shell. ggyern, and that justice and righteousness shall be the fruit of regenerated lives. The cry is for a better -social environment end a more just socin1al ostio. ANY CORN LIFTS OUT, DOESN'T HURT A BITI No foolishnesel Lift your oorns and calluses off with fingers it's like magic! Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns or any kind of a corn, can harmlessly be lifted right out with the fingers if you apply upon the corn a few drops of freezone, says a Cincinnati authority, For little cost one can get a small bottle of freezone at any drug store, which will positively rid one's feet of every corn or callus without pain.

GRIM GAS BATTLES FOUGHT Asphyxiating Shells Fired in Great Quantities by Both Sides in Strug gles on British Front. Andre Tudesq. writing of the battles on the British front, says there was such an expenditure of asphyxiating shells one day that six hours after the last deluge of them suff'ocat g smells were still passed through.
