Our Rudder
Little things! Life and death,
prosperity and ruin, happiness
and misery, hang upon little
things; they are like the linchpin
to the wheel, on which depends
the safety of the vehicle; they are
like the rudder of the vast mass
which it guides; like the slender
nerves to the bulky muscles.—G.
A. Sala.

Beware Coughs
from common colds
That Hang On
Ko matter how many medicines
you have tried for your cough, chest
cold or bronchial irritation, you can
get relief now with Creomulsion.
Serious trouble may be brewing and
you cannot afford to take a chance
with anything less than Creomul
sion, which goes right to the seat
of the trouble to aid nature to
soothe and heal the inflamed mem
branes as the germ-laden phlegm
is loosened and expelled.
Even if other remedies have
failed, don’t be discouraged, your
druggist is authorized to guarantee
Creomulsion and to refund your
money if you are not satisfied with
results from the very first bottle.
Get Creomulsion right now. (AdvJ
Genius Alone
Fortune has rarely condescend
ed to be the companion of genius.
—Isaac Disraeli.

constipation and see how much bet
ter it is to check the trouble before
it gets a hold on yon. Black-
Draught is purely vegetable and is
so prompt and reliable. Get re
freshing relief from constipation by
taking purely vegetable
BLACK-DRAUGHT
Room for All
This world certainly is wide
enough to hold both thee and me.

The Cure for Malaria
ALARIA was once the most-
feared disease of the tropics.
In Elizabethan times, the malarial
jngles of Africa and other parts
of the Near East were so terrifying
and dangerous to white men that
few Europeans even dared to go
there.
Quinine, the most effective rem
edy for malaria, was accidentally
discovered by an Incan native wno
was himself half dead from the
disease. On a trek through the
mountain wilderness of Ecuador, he
was overtaken by the dreaded jun
gle fever. Burning with fever, he
dragged himself to the edge of a
stagnant pool to quench his thirst,
only to find that a quina-quina tree
had fallen across it.
Although the medicine men of his
tribe had always supposed the bit
ter-tasting bark of the tree to be
poisonous, the Indian was so far
gone he preferred the swift death
by poison to the lingering one from
fever. So he drank deep from the
pool. In a few hours he miraculous
ly felt better, and soon he was
cured.
Returning to his tribe, he carried
his story of the marvelous curative
powers of the quina-quina bark.
Others tried it, and found it had
both curative and preventive pow
ers. By 1640, news of the new
drug had been transmitted to Eu
rope, where its name was shortened
to quinine.
For a time the bark sold at fab
ulous prices, as royalty and wealthy
merchants bid frantically for the
meager supply to cure their aching
limbs. Within a century the tree
had been domesticated and was be
ing grown commercially in many
parts of the world.
“Rawthah, Old Chappie’*
A CONVENTIONAL picture of the
typical Englishman to most
Americans is a pompous, be-spatted
individual sporting a tightly furled
umbrella and a monocle on a long
black ribbon. As a matter of fact,
none of these bits of haberdashery
originated in England, and the mon
ocle especially has been accepted
there only in relatively recent times.
Monocle is a hybrid word of
French origin, which suggests that
the single eyeglass may have been
a French invention. The word orig
inally came from the Greek monos,
sole, and Latin oculus, eye, and
literally means one eye. The term
was not even mentioned in the Eng
lish Oxford dictionary before 1858,
and that was considerably before
it became very popular.
The first recorded case of a per
son wearing a monocle to ordinary
social functions was a diplomat
named Phillip von Stosch who wore
a single eye-glass while on a mission
to Rome. At first he was looked
upon as being a little queer, but
before long he had the diplomatic
corps there practicing before their
mirrors with pieces of silver, and
soon it became quite the rage in
Italy. But new fads and fashions
did not spread as rapidly then as
they do now, and it took over a
century for the new sophistication
to reach England. And after many
years of sneering at “bogus counts”
and “stuck-up frills” here at home,
a number of Americans in the larger
cities may now be seen occasionally
trying out monocles themselves.
Legend of Billy the Kid
N HIS six years as a Western
desperado, Billy the Kid shot and
killed twenty-one men, not counting
Indians. Billy, whose real name
was William H. Bonney, was called
“The Kid” because of his extreme
youth. He shot his first man at the
age of twelve, and he had just
passed his twenty-second birthday
when he was ambushed and killed
by a sheriff’s posse in Lincoln coun
ty, New Mexico.
Like many another Western out
law, Billy was bom in the East.
Although brought up in Kansas, his
home town was New York City.
Shortly after his father died, young
Billy drilled a man because he had
allegedly insulted his mother.
By the time he was sixteen, Billy
had helped another man kill three
Indian trappers to get their furs.
Two years later he had blazed his
spectacular trail all over the South
west, and had twelve notches in his
gun.
He became so feared by local
police authorities that, like Black
Bart, the famous stage-coach rob
ber, the governor of New Mexico
territory promised him a pardon
in case of conviction if he would
give himself up. But Billy the Kid
had made too many enemies by
then, and said he would be killed
immediately if he disarmed, even
though protected by the govern
ment.
Instead, he embarked on a new
series of cattle-rustling and killing
expeditions. Shortly before he was
brought down by Sheriff Pat Garett,
he expressed a wish to kill two
more men, all the notches his gun
would hold.
Beard Sign of Grief
In old Roman times, a long beard
was a sign of grief, worn by men in
mourning.
JOHN’S PICTURE OF THE
TRIAL AND CRUCIFIXION
LESSON TEXT — John 19: 4-9, 14-lb.
25-30.
GOLDEN TEXT — Hereby perceive we
the love of God. because he laid down his
life for us; and we ought to lay down our
lives for the brethren. I John 3:16.
PRIMARY TOPIC — When Jesus Died for
Us.
JUNIOR TOPIC — On a Hill Far Away.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—
Christ’s Cross and Its Meaning for Me.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—
Christ’s Cross and Mine.
The cross is accepted throughout
the world as the emblem of the
Christian church. The death of the
Son of God for the sins of the world
is a focal point not only in history
but in theology. It is for this reason
that we give so much study to the
cross and its meaning.
Calvary comes between Christmas
and Easter. Jesus came as the
Babe of Bethlehem—God incarnate
in the flesh. He died for you and
me. Death could not hold him. He
arose in victory. He is now at the
Father’s right hand, an Advocate
with the Father. He is coming
again. Each statement is an in
dispensable truth!
The assigned text gives only a
portion of the moving account of
the trial and crucifixion of Jesus
but suffices to bring before us in
graphic contrast four pictures—
I. Pilate—Convinced but Afraid.
Pilate was in a most difficult posi
tion. To turn one way meant to in
cur the wrath of the Jews he gov
erned. To turn the other meant that
he would be accused of disloyalty
to Rome. He was convinced that
Jesus was innocent, but was afraid
to follow his own convictions.
Many there are who follow in his
steps. They know what they ought to
do with Jesus, but fear the com
ments of friends or loss of earthly
advantage, and take their place
with Pilate.
II. The Jews—Hostile and Hard
hearted.
The common people heard Jesus
gladly. They loved him and would
have followed him. But the Jewish
leaders, and those whom they had
misled, hated him with malicious
hatred.
They are typical of those who in
our day have long and repeatedly
rejected the claims of the Lord
Jesus on their lives. They have
hardened their hearts against him
until they have become embittered.
Paul says, “They received not
the love of the truth that they might
be saved, and for this cause God
shall send them a strong delusion,
that they should believe a lie” (II
Thess. 2:10,11).
Let those who have long rejected
the Saviour be warned lest they also
crucify afresh the Son of God.
III. The Disciples—Remembered
by the Saviour.
The thoughtful tenderness of Jesus
in providing for his mother even in
his own hour of deep suffering,
moves upon our hearts and urges
us to follow his example. This is a
hard world; let the followers of
Jesus be tender and kind.
In thus caring for his mother,
Jesus gives thought also to the new
responsibility of the disciple “whom
he loved.” What a sacred and re
sponsible trust, but is it not true
that we also are called and com
missioned by him?
IV. Jesus—The Saviour.
To see the guiltless, spotless Son
of God hung on the cross in propitia
tion for our sins is to bring us to our
knees to cry as did Martin Luther,
“For me, for me!”
Majestic in the assurance that he
laid down his own life, he walks as
a King in the midst of all the con
fusion round about him.
He was
1. Silent. His enemies made great
hue and cry against him. Pilate
questioned him again and again.
Few were the words he spoke, but
fraught with more meaning than all
the words of men.
2. Strong. All through his life
and in his death one is impressed
by his strength. All too often sacred
art, drawing on its imagination,
presents our Lord as an effeminate
weakling. No; he was and is glor
iously strong.
3. Sympathetic. We have already
dwelt on his tender love for his
mother. Gentleness is always an
attribute of strength, not of weak
ness.
4. The Saviour. When he cried
“It is finished,” he did so in no
weak submission to an inevitable
death. No; he had wrought out re
demption, a complete and finished
redemption for you and for me.
Now Is the Time
To be always intending to lead a
new life but never to find time to
set about it, this is as if a man
should put off eating and drinking
and sleeping from one day and night
to another, till ho is starved and de
stroyed .—Tillotson.
Delight in Beauty
The very first discovery of beauty
strikes the mind with an inward
joy, and spreads a cheerfulness and
delight through all its faculties.—Ad
dison.

All Is Not Gold—
For 50 years one of the most
popular exhibits in Blackburn mu
seum has been “a nugget of pure
Australian gold” weighing 7%
ounces.
Tempted by the high price of
gold, the museum committee re
cently obtained the permission of
the council to sell it. The gold
was sent to a London firm of
assayers, who replied that the
nugget consists merely of bra
ziers’ metal and lead, and does
not contain a particle of gold.
Big Minds, Few Words
As it is the mark of great minds
to say many things in a few
words, so it is that of little minds
to use many words to say nothing.
