ADVICE
You won’t tell your family doctor
the whole story about your private
illness — you are too modest. You
need not be afraid to tell Mrs. Pink-
ham, at Lynn, Mass., the things you
could not explain to the doctor. Your
letter will t)e held in the strictest con
fidence. From her vast correspond
ence with sick women during the
past thirty years she may have
S ained the very knowledge that will
elp your case. Such letters as the fol
lowing, from grateful women, es
tablish beyond a doubt the power of
LYDIA E. PINKHAM’S
VEGETABLE COMPOUND
to conquer all female diseases.
Mrs. Norman R. liarndt, of Allen
town, Pa., writes:
“ Ever since I was sixteen years of
age I had suffered from an organic de
rangement and female weakness; in
consequence I had dreadful headaches
and was extremely nervous. My physi
cian said I must go through an opera
tion to get well. A friend told me
about Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound, and I took it and wrote you
for advice, following your directions
carefully, and thanks to you I am to
day a well woman, and I am telling
all my friends of my experience.”
FACTS FOR SICK WOMEN.
For thirty years Lydia E. Pink
ham’s Vegetable Compound, made
from roots and herbs, has l)een the
standard remedy for female ills,
and has positively cured thousands of
women who have l>een troubled with
displacements, inflammation, ulcera
tion, fibroid tumors, irregularities,
periodic pains, backache, that bear-
mg-down feeling, flatulency, indiges-
tion,dizziness,or nervous prostration.

Los Angeles, Cal., March 8.— That
the old Bible is still the best and in
deed the only guide upon which mau
may depend for the present life and
that which is to come is the lesson
taught in this sermon. The text is
Acts vlii, 30, “Understandest thou what
thou readest?”
Of all the narratives and Incidents in
the Bible there is not one that im
presses me as more powerful and dra
matic than this conversion of the secre
tary of the treasury of Queen Candace’s
court. It occurred In the midst of a
great desert through the instrumental
ity of a bumble traveling evangelist,
Philip by name. This Ethiopian states
man evidently had been sent to Jeru
salem by his royal mistress on a mis
sion of Inquiry. Methinks I can hear
her say to this member of her privy
council: "Mr. Secretary, we are not get
ting as much money from our taxes as
we ought. We must learn how to han
dle better our national system of
finances. The expenses of the govern
ment are increasing year by year, the
people are growing wealthier all - the
time, and yet the revenues are not
keeping pace with the prosperity of our
land. You had better hand over the
treasury department for a little while
to your deputy. Go north and study
the Roman system of taxation. You
need not announce that you are going
there for that purpose. But go and
keep your eyes open and learn what
you can, and we will reorganize the
treasury department when you return.”
Thus, I think, Queen Candace spoke to
her chief secretary.
The mission would be a welcome
one to him. The Acts tells us he had
gone to Jerusalem to worship. We
may assume, therefore, that he was
either a Jew serving a foreign sover
eign, as Joseph served Pharaoh and
Daniel Darius, or that he was a for
eigner who had come to know the true
God and, like Naaman, desired to wor
ship him, and him alone. As he had
gone to Jerusalem to worship and had
a Jewish book to study as he traveled,
he was evidently no stranger to Juda
ism.
The scene changes. We now enter
with the southern diplomat the gates
of historic Jerusalem. He stays on
week after week, month after month.
He meets all the high officials oi the
province. He talks with the Roman
governor and his council as well as
with the members of the Hebrew san
hedrin. And. strange to say, while he
is there he hears the disputes In Jeru
salem over the arrest and the trial and
the sentence and the execution of a
young Hebrew of the name of Jesus
Christ, which had taken place about
seven years before. Then, as every
intelligent foreign statesman would do,
this secretary of the treasury of the
southland not only studies the fiscal
system and government of these peo
ple, but their religion as well. He
does just as you would do If you went
to an oriental country. In India you
would study what Hindoolsm means;
if In Arabia, what Mohammedanism
means; if in China, what Confucian
ism means; if in Tibet, what Buddhism
means. Not only did he study the He
brew religion while In the Jewish cap
ital, but he also took some of their re
ligious books along to study on his
way home.
The Ride In the Chariot.
The scene again changes. The stu
dious statesman of the south is riding
in his chariot over the hot, blistering
desert on his way south. He is return
ing to Queen Candace’s court. In or
der to lessen the tedium of the Journey
he opens one of the religious books of
the Hebrews, called the “Prophecy of
Isaiah,” and begins to read. While he
reads and studies a young unknown
man comes alongside the chariot and
asks him. “Understandest thou what
thou readest?” The puzzled student
answers: “How can I unless some one
explains this book to me? Come up.
young man, and ride with me, and tell
me what this prophet means.” Then
Philip enters the chariot and sits by
bis side. He begins to read at the page
of the parchment which was opened.
This was the Messianic prophecy,
where Isaiah described Christ as being
led as a lamb to the slaughter. Then
Philip said: "Can you not see that the
prophecy of Isaiah has been fulfilled?
Yon heard in Jerusalem bow they led
Christ before Pilate. You must have
heard bow he was condemned and ex
ecuted, though he was innocent. That
was the fulfillment of the prediction
y<f& have been reading In this book of
Isaiah. His life and death were as
Isaiah said they would be. and the oth
er prophets described them almost as
plainly.” Philip went on to preach to
him so forcibly and earnestly that the
Ethiopian statesman became a humble
child of God and believed and was bap
tized. Such is the simple and yet pow
erful story of the conversion of a for
eigner through the preaching of a sim
ple, earnest servant of Christ.
Now, as this great statesman Mt In
his chariot the open Bible in his hand
had become a new hook to him, full of
life and meaning. The vague, shadowy
symbols of the rites and ceremonies of
the law led up to the clearer vision# of
the prophets, and at last the whole be
came plain In the glorious appearance
of Christ, a gradual revelation given
In a connected book. How such a
view transforms the Bible! Let ns
study the book In that aspect this
morning. Would that the result might
be ns effectual us was the eunuch’s
study under Philip’s guidance!
The Chief Hero of the Bible.
The Bible, in the first place, has Its
chief hero. It has a central personal
ity toward which its opening pages are
silently and swiftly moving. This di
vine personality Is Jesus Christ The
casual reader may not at first glance
think that the story of creation has
sny direct or indirect connection with
the Bethlehem manger, but you can
not separate the first chapter of John
with its opening sentence, “In the be
ginning was the word, and the word
was with God, and the word was
God,” from the first verse of Genesis.
Nor can you separate the Idyl of Ruth
from the birth of Jesus or perceive the
meaning of Isaiah without connecting
It with the story of the crucifixion.
The Bible declares that when Philip
the evangelist climbed into the chariot
of Queen Candace’s secretary of the
treasury he opened his mouth and be
gan at the same Scripture and “preach
ed unto him Jesus.” Thus we find
that, no matter how far one book of
the Bible may antedate another, they
all revolve about the personality of
Jesus Christ.
If you were to separate the books of
the Bible from the personality of Je
sus they would be as meaningless as
one of the novels of Wilkie Collins
separated from Its central hero or hero
ine or, as we sometimes say, “the play
of ‘Hamlet’ with the part of Hamlet
left out” As Dr. Sapblr says: “If the
Bible were like a collection of stones
we might select some and put aside
others as less valuable and beautiful,
and. although in such selections we
might make great mistakes, we should
etill be in possession of something more
or less complete, but the Bible Is like
a plant, and all Its parts are not me
chanically or accidentally connected,
but organically united, and hence a law
of life rules here. He who reveres life
will neither add nor take away from
the beautiful plant which the Father
hath planted in and through Christ by
the Spirit. Nobody asserts that a man
would be killed if you cut off his hair
and bis nails, hut there Is a vital union
of all his members. If you cut off my
little finger I shall survive It, but it Is
my little linger you cut off, and it Is a
loss, a disfigurement/ So with the
Bible. It is not like a piece of clotb
you can clip and cut. It is a body ani
mated by one spirit.” That Is true.
Thus, as all the different parts of the
physical body find their life action in
the throbbing heart, all the different
parts of the Bible find their potency
and their life giving force In the per
sonality of Jesus Christ He is the
great hero of this book. He is the cen
ter. the circumference, the all in all of
the Scriptures. Whenever a man reads
any chapter of the Bible without find
ing Jesus there be has failed to find
out the chief purpose for which that
chapter was written.
The Origin of Josus.
Now, who is this Bible hero? Where
was’ he born? How was he born?
Who were his ancestors? These are
the questions which every author of a
biography or of a novel which is only
a fictitious biography answers. There
the author introduces you to his hero
or heroine. He finds the cradle of his
hero in the Indian wigwam of Pow
hatan, as does the biographer of Poca
hontas, or he surrounds you with the
rivalries and plots of Queen Anne’s
time, as does William Makepeace
Thackeray when he Introduces to you
Henry Esmond, or he tells you how
King James VI. of Scotland became
King James I. of England because be
was the direct descendant of Margaret
Tudor, sister of Henry VIII. of Eng
land. All books of biography natural
ly give to us the genealogical history
of their heroes or heroines. They tell
how they were born and what blood Is
flowing in their veins. So doe# the
Bible in reference to Jesus Christ.
His nativity bad divine origin. His
conception was miraculous. He was
and is omnipotent in power. All the
prophecies foretold It. All history
A. D. has proved It.
Oh, that you aud I might find a di
vine and an omnipotent Christ In every
part of that old Bible! May we do as
did John Randolph, the great Virginia
orator. One day he was entertaining
a family friend at dinner, and he said
to him: “I was raised by a pious moth
er—God bless her memory!—who taught
me the Christian religion in all its re
quirements. Bat, alas, I grew up an
infidel—If not an infidel completely, yet
a decided skeptic. But when I be
came a man In this as well as In polit
ical and other matters I resolved to
examine for myself and never pin my
faith to any other man’s sleeve. So I
bought a Bible. I pored over tt and
examined it carefully. I sought and
procured books for and against It, and
when my labors were ended I cams to
this irresistible conclusion: The Bible
is true. It would have been as easy
for an Ignorant rustic to have written
Sir Isaac Newton’s ‘Prindpte’ as for
uninspired men to have written the
Bible.” So may we study the Bible in
reference to the divinity of Jesus
Christ. May we read all the Messian
ic prophecies. May we read all Christ’s
miracles. May we stand at the cradle
and at the riven tomb of Christ. And
in every chapter of every book may
we see a divine and omnipotent Christ
as the chief hero of this book. May
we find Christ the center, the circum
ference, the all In all of the Holy Scrip
tures. “Then Philip opened his mouth
and began at the same Scripture and
preached unto him Jesus.”
Why Christ Cams.
Having asKf ted the divinity and om
nipotent power of Christ, what next
does the Bible do? It tells us the chief
motives which actuated that divine
life. As the biographer of Slmou Boll
var slowly and Irresistibly leads yon
along In the study of his (hero until at
lost yon find the great Tsnsguslan lib
erator dedicating his Ilfs to tbs free
dom of his adopted land; as the biog
rapher of Handel tells about the tri-
umphs, the straggles and the defeats
of the grand old musician, clinging to
his high ideals of sacred oratorio long
after the fickle multitudes of London
had turned their backs upon him in de
rision and scorn; as the biographers of
King Alfred and Robert Bruce and of
Napoleon and Wendell Phillips and
Florence Nightingale and Catherine
Booth and Frances Willard tell what
were the chief principles which con
trolled and inspired their lives, so the
Bible distinctly and clearly tells us why
Christ was bom, why he lived, why he
was crucified and why he rose from
the dead. He came to earth not to win
a throne. He came to earth not, as
Moses, to lift from the necks of the
Hebrew people the hated and tyran
nical yoke of a Roman pharaoh. He
came simply for one purpose—to seek
and to save those that were morally
and spiritually lost. He came as the
friend and the Savlonr of harlots and
publicans and sinners. He came not to
be a physician for those who were
spiritually well, but for those who
were Immoral, degraded and debased.
You and I may marvel at the noble
self sacrifice of the Marquis de La
fayette. Born of an aristocratic fam
ily, heir to title and untold riches, the
affianced of a beautiful young girt, yet
he was willing to sacrifice all for a
poor, struggling people who had no
friends except the friendship and the
protection of God. At a Parisian ban
quet table he heard of what Washing
ton and bis noble band of patriots were
trying to win. At once he said, “I will
go and help them win their liberties.”
At his own expense be fitted out a
ship and filled It with what the Amer
ican troops most needed, and In a fog
he ran past the British blockade which
was trying to intercept his passage. He
crossed the Atlantic and entered Wash
ington’s headquarters and said: "Here,
general—here are my sword and my life.
Do with them as you will. I volunteer
to fight under your flag for humanity’s
sake.” That was a noble, self sacrific
ing act for the young French peer. The
reading of that heroic act should arouse
a feeling of gratitude in every Amer
ican breast With quick beating heart
and flushing cheek we have read the
tragic sacrifices of “the most Impor
tant citizen of New Orleans,” Margaret
Haughey, whose name is known to ev
ery one in Louisiana. She was not one
who could count her fortune by the
millions. She was not a Joan of Arc,
with a physical frame knit as with
bands of steel. She was simply a poor,
frail, crippled girl who, In order to earn
her living, started out as a schoolteach
er. She used to work daring the day
for her own bread and butter. Then
In the evenings she started to teach the
poor girls and boys who had to work
during the day and who could not get
an education unless they were taught
in the evenings. Her night schools
grew. Oat of them grew a hospital for
crippled children. Her work grew un
til a short time ago all New Orleans
turned out in the public parks to honor
her memory. “Ah,” you say, “that was
a noble life. That was a noble pur
pose for which to live.” Its nobility
consists in its resemblance to the In
finitely greater purpose for which Je
sus came down to earth to suffer and
to die. He came to save a lost world. He
came to give up his life for the lives
of sinful outcasts. He came that you
and I might he made one with him in
spirit and nature. O Lord, the book
of books tells us that thou didst come
to save sinners and to offer up thy di-
vino life as a sacrifice for man’s sins.
Does not that word “sinner” mean me?
By thy revealed word aud thy tragic
crucifixion I know that thou hast come
to save me—yea, to save even me.
A Guide of Life.
Salvation through the atoning blood
of Jesus Christ Is an active as well as
a passive condition. It Is placing our
selves in a yielding position, so that
we are willing to let the great loving
arms of God encircle our hearts and
draw us unto himself, but salvation
through Christ must be supplemented
by the actions of a life consecrated,.^ ^
him and his service after we hav^ al
lowed Christ to encircle us with bis
love. The Bible Is the code of cqnduet
which we should follow after wd have
been saved by bis blood. It is a col
lection of moral and spiritual rales,
which will not only teach us bqw to
live In harmony with God, but also
how we should deal with men. It Is
not only a collection of rules of faith,
but of rules of practice. In other
words, it is n spiritual guidebook. It
tells us how we should talk, how we
should walk, how we should give, bow
we should pray. It tells us bow to be
come like our great prototype, Jesus
Christ Aud if we are true Christians
It would be willful blindness to shot
our eyes to Its commandments.
In that sacred book there are no dead
letter laws, as there are In some of the
statutes of onr earthly governments.
Some years ago a noted prize fight was
to be fought in one of onr eastern
cities where I was at that time living.
A few days before the fistic battle a
party of ministers, of whom I was one.
entered the mayor’s office to protest
against it as a defiance of law and
common decency. The mayor beard us
patiently; then he said: “It Is true, gen
tlemen, the city laws forbid this com
ing exhibition, but that law In the eyes
of most people Is a dead letter. There
are scores and scores of laws upon onr
statute books which the people do not
expect us to enforce, and I believe this
is one of them. I sbhll allow the prize
fight to go on.” Whether the mayor of
that eastern city was right dr wrong 1
am not here to discuss, but one fact I
do know—In the Bible there are no
dead letter rales of faith or practice.
When Christ speaks to us in the ser
mon on the mount he expects us to fol
low out the commandments of that
sermon. When he tells ns the story of
the good Samaritan he expects us to be
good Samaritans. There is no use for
you and me to say: “Well, I am not
selfish and bad. After all, I am doing
only what other church members do.”
That is not the question. On the great
day 6t judgment God will not ask us,
“Have you done as other people have
done?” but he will ask: “Have you
done as I commanded you to do? Have
you done as Christ would have done
had he been in your place?” There is
no getting away from this deduction of
Bible study. The question here and
now Is, “Are we willing to accept the
Bible as^our rule of life?” If we do
not, then all we may profess to believe
as to the divinity and omnipotence of
Christ and the saving power of his
blood will avail us little. “Faith is the
evidence of things not seen,” but “faith
without works is dead.”
* Following Its Guidance.
Thus the last purpose of the Bible is
a natural sequence to the other three.
The Bible beautifully pictures what
salvation means and the rules of con
duct by which we should all press to
ward the mark for the prize of the
high calling in Christ Jesus. Now,
are you, my hearer, like the treasurer
of Queen Candace’s court, ready to
look Bible truths squarely In the face?
Do yon realize that one road of life’s
Journey will lead you to the precipice
of a bottomless pit and the other road,
which goes by the way of the cross,
will lead you Into life everlasting?
With your open Bible in your hand,
“Understandest then what thou read
est?” Will you follow the pleadings
of this sacred book, which will lead you
today to kneel at the foot of the cross
and say, "My Master and my King, I
accept thee, and I will live for thee by
thy rules of faith and practice?”
When Rev. Dr. Harris was dead and
his last will and testament was opened
It was found that he had left to each
of his children as a legacy a copy of
the Holy Scriptures. On the fly leaf
of each Bible were written these three
words: “None but Christ” So today
as a divine gift I would place In your
hands an open Bible. Read it. Read
It Intelligently. Read it as God would
have you read It And then after you
have read It and determined to live by
its teachings seal your consecration by
writing upon* the fly leaf these three
trenchant words: “None but Christ”
Will you accept this Bible as a gift
from God, a rule for your faith and
practice? “Understandest thou what
thou readest?” Aye, you understand.
Will yon now do what you ought to do
for Christ?

We refer to that boon to weak, nervous,

Dr. John Fyfe one of the Editorial Staff

"A remedy whlcb invariably acts as a uter

He continues "in Helonias we have a medica

cmiar to women It Is seldom that a case is!
seen which does not present some indication!
for this remedial agent” Dr. Fyfe further,
says: "The following are among the leading j
