Memory Verses. 2. 3?Golden Text
Mark xiv, 8?Commentary Prepared :
by Rev. D. M. Stearns.
The passover referred to iu a erse 1 ;
was the last ODe ere He laid down (
His life as Christ our passover sacn
flced for us and com erning which Ho t
said, "I have heartily desired to eat .
this passover with you before 1 suffer"
(I Cor. v. 7; Luke vxii. 15. margin t. j
Only six days before that the events of j
this evening transpired. He is again (
In the home in I'ethany to whieh He '
loved to come, and they made Hint a '
supper at which Martha set veil, and
Mary must surely have helped, too. us
well as doing the other great thing !
recorded in our lesson. Lazarus, who j
had been three or four days in paradise,
was there, tio. but we have no j
record of any utterance from him after j
his return. It must have l>een with j
him. as with Paul, that it wag not I
possible for hiin to utter what he had
seen and heard (II Cor. xii, 4. margiui.
Mary, whose custom was to sit at Htfeet
and hear His word wheneve- Pne
could find the opportunity, had cvb
dently taken it into her b:art that be
cause of the cruel dee'j He was to
suffer no friends coMd be near Him at
that time and had therefore obtained
some very costly ointment of splkenurd
with which to anoint Him beforehand
if she should find opportunity. The
occasion had now come and she was
read; f r it He will never fail to provide
the opportunity for those who desire
to i_ir ister to Him.
Put*'.ng the accounts in Matthew.
Mark and John together we learn that
she poured the ointment on His head
and on His feet and wiped His feet
with her hair. Because Luke does uot
mention this anoiutiug. but does speak
of an anointing and feet washing with
tears in the house of a certain Simon
by a woman who was a sinner, some
have thought that Luke descrit>ed this
anointing by Mary, but the incidents
are wholly different, at a different time
in His ministry and under altogether
different circumstances. The name of
the woman in the incident in Luke is
ot given, and we have no reason to
give her a name. The Lord has left
her unnamed. Let us also do so. while
we thank God for her salvation. Returning
to the Incident of our lesson,
we note that the house was filled with
the odor of the ointment (verse 3). We
think of the sweet j>erfume that filled
the holy place where priests ministered
to the Lord day by day, and we
remember that the sacrifice of Christ
Himself was unto God an odor of a
sweet smell, and our service unto Him
is spoken of in the same words (Eph.
, 11, R. V.; ThiL lv. 1S1.
It should greatly cheer us to know
that He looks upon our ministry in this
way. He who reads the heart spoke
of Mary's ministry as a good work
wrought on Him and an anointing of
, His body beforehand for His burial,
and added that wherever the gospel
should be preached in all the world i
this would be her memorial (M. rk xiv.
6-9). Judas and some of the others
were indignant and said. "To what
purpose is this waste? This ointment
might have been sold for more than
300 pence and given to the poor." Judas
cared not for the poor, but he was
the treasurer and a thief (verses 4-6;
Matt xxvi, S, 9; Mark xiv. 4. 5). We
are not surprised at his finding fault
but it seems unlike true disciples to
call anything done for the Lord a
waste. Yet there are many professed
followers today who seem to think it
all right to spend all they wish on
themselves, but to give to the Lord by
giving to the poor or to missions is in
their eyes at least unprofitable. How
comforting it must have been to Mary
to have Him say, "Let her alone: she
hath done what she could!" (Mark xiv.
6-8.) In much service for Him we |
may not have the approval of the leaders
in church work, but if He approves
that is all we should desire, taking &9
our motto II Tim. ii. 15, with the stand
taken by Paul in Gal. i, 10; Thess. U.
4. It is most interesting to note that
Mary of Bethany was the only woman
who anointed His body for burial. Other
women bought spices for that pur- i
pose when it was too late, but never 1
used them, for He had risen when !
they reached the tomb (Luke xxiii, 55, '
56; xxiv, 1-3). Nicodemus provided i
about a hundred pounds weight of
myrrh and aloes, in which he and Joseph
wrapped up the body when tbey j
lovingly laid it in the new sepulcher
in the garden, wherein was never man
yet laid (John xix. 3S-42).
Tt \(n \f T n?AMin / % r
All oiariua. .uai^ auu uaiaius vu i,uu |
occasion may be seen by combining
them what a well ronnded Christian j
life ought to be. In Martha there is
quiet ministry without being cumbered;
in Mary the worship of true and be- :
lleving devotion, which is always costly.
for even David said, "I will not ,
offer unto the Lord my God that which
doth cost me nothing" (II Sam. xxiv, j
24). In Lazarus there is the power of j
a resurrection hfe. because by reason j
of him many of the Jews went away i
and believpd on Jesus, but the chief !
priests consulted to put Lazarus again
to death (verses 10, 11>. Many came
together at this time simply to see a
man alive who had been dead and not
for Jesus' sake only (Terse 9). It is
well when <>ur motto in all things is
"For Jesu>" sake only." willing to be
always delivered to death for Jesns'
sake that the life of Jesus may be
made uiauifest in our mortal bodies.

People, hoth old and young, who
suffer from stomach trouole wouhl
do well to read the gollowing highly
interesting statement given by Mrs
Mary Gilliam, of r>3 Riverside, Anderson,
March 3. Mrs Gilliam is of
an advanced ;ige.
"I suffered from an awful ease of
indigestion." said Mrs Gilliam,
"and I was s,, weak I could hardly
walk and reallv I should have l?een

the time,my whole system was weakened
and run down and I was very
pale. My appetite had left and 1
nevfi%became hungrv. My health

"Hundreds of dollrrs worth of
medicines had been bought for me.
but none gave me much relief, and
I steadily became worse and lost
weight until I was skin and bones
almost and seemed to he slowly
starving to death.
"Soon after I started taking Tanlac,
mv appetite returned and mv
stomach was strergthened and the
indigestion left me. Now I am eating
heartily and my food is digested
and nourishes me. I gained twentyfive
or thirty pounds after I started
taking Tanlae. The homefolks laugh
at me now because I eat so much. I
was just about big enough to make a
shadow when I started taking Tanlae.
but now I am at my normal
weight.
"Tanlac is the finest restorer and
tonic I ever used. It soon got me
strong enough to do my housework,
despite mv years, and it is the only
medicine I ever took that gave me
permanent relief, and I guess it can

And Was Ron-Down, Weak anc

Five Bottles of Cardui
Made Her Well.
Kathleen, Fla.?Mrs. Dallas Prlne,
j of this place, says: "After the birth
! of my last child...I got very much
! run-down and weakened, so much
that I could hardly do anything at
alL I was so awfully nervous that
' I could scarcely endure the least
noise. My condition was getting
i worse all the time...
j I knew I must have some relief or
| I would soon be in the bed and in a
serious condition for I felt so badly
1 and was so nervous and weak I could
| hardly live. My husband asked Dr.
about my taking Cardui. He
j said, 'It's a good medicine, and good
for that trouble', so he got r.e 5 bottles...
After about the 6ecend bottle I
felt greatly improved.. .before taking
! it my limbs and hands and arms
i would go to s'eep. After taking it,
: however, this poor circulation disapI
peared. My strength came back tu
me and I was soon on the road to
! health. After the use of about" 5 hotI
ties, I could do all my house-work
I and attend tr? mv civ nfiti/fM..

You can feel 6afe in giving Cardui
a thorough trial for your troubles. It
contains no harmful or habit-forming
drugs, but is composed of mild, vegetable,

bad after-effects. Thousands of women

WHAT IS
LAX-FOS
LAX-COS IS AM IMPROVED CASCARA
A Digestive Laxative
CATHARTIC AND LIVER TONIC
Lax-Fos is not a Secret or Patent Medicine
but is composed of the following
?kl-fashioned roots and herbs:
CASCARA BARK
BLUE FLAG ROOT
RHUBARB ROOT
BLACK ROOT
MAY APPLE ROOT
SENNA LEAVES
AND PEPSIN
In Lax-Fos the Cascara is improved by
the addition of these digestive ingredients
making it better than ordinary CaScara.and
thus the combination acts not
only as a stimulating laxative and cathartic
but also as adigesti%'e and liver tonic.
Syrop laxatives are weak, but Lax-Fos
combines strength with paiatable/aromatic
taste and does not gripe or disturb
the*stomach. One bottle will prove
Lax-Fos is invaluable for Constipation
