Next week we begin publishing the greatest serial we have
ever been privileged tu offex* our readers. 'The title is "Broken,”
and the author, Ruby M. Ayres, is regarded by literary critics as
the most searching explorer of the human heart among
writers.
The story of "Brciken” is that of a man who sets out to
his younger brother's suicide. The boy had been driven
death by a.notorious woman who had .spurned his love. His brother
meet’s the woman and determines to make her fall in love with him,
'then throws her over as she had thrown over his brother.
'He succeeds—then discovers that she is the wrong woman, a
cousin of the one who had^ entangled his brother. Moreover—and
this is his tragedy—he finds that he is deeply, genuinely in love
with her.
But he already has a wife, and the girl will not, cannot be
lieve that he is in earnest when he pleads for her forgiveness and
declares his love for lier.
In her handling of poignant' emotional .situations Miss Ayres
has no equal. In "Broken” her character seem real.
look forward eagerly every week for the next instalment, to dis-
cover what the turning wheel of Fate has in store for these un
happy lovers. '
"Broken” begins n-'xt week in this paper.

Four Doses Relieved
Bad Attack of Cholera
Mr, W. J. Cooper, Maughan, Alta., writes:—”A‘
year ago last spring I arrived in Canada with my
family, and one of my boys, aged six, was suffering
very much, with cholera. When we arrived I had a
few hours to wait, and told one of the attendants at
the station., about it, and ho asked mo if I had ever
tried Dr. Fowler’s Extract of Wild Strawberry. I
had never heard of it in England, ’so he told, me I
could get it in Winnipeg. I am pleased to sa$ I
had only to give the child four doses and he got
well and was quite cheerful by the next morning.”
When young King Josiah, about
whom we studied last week, hqd
been reigning thirteen years a man
named Jeremiah, son of a priest, be
gan to make some startling prophec
ies in Judah, .His ministry continu
ed for some forty years; he saw the
last king of Judah carried away cap
tive to Babylon as the nation fell be
fore Nebuchadnezzar.
Our lesson title calls Jeremiah
"the prophet of individual religion.”
Yet the great burden of most of his
prophecy in his long book of fifty-
two chapters concerns nations rather
than individuals; God’s nation Ju
dah, and other nations such as Egypt
and Babylonia. On the other hand,
■we must remember that true relig
ion is always individual; there is no
such thing as national religion ex
cept as it conies from the God-fear
ing lives of the inyidual that make
the nation, Jeremiah emphasises in
dividual responsibility as all the in
spired writers of the Bible do; and
he shows in solemn warning the nec
essary judgments of God on nations
hi which the inviduals do not trust
and obey God.
God calls to Jeremiah to prophesy
is remarkable and impressive. The
Lord tells this man that lie knew
him before his conception in the
womb, and that before liis, actual
birth God had sanctified hint and
ordained him a prophet unto the na
tions.
What was Jeremiah’s
“Ah, Lord God!

little children,
showed Jeremiah the infinite
sources that were at his disposal;
showed him that while, left to him
self, he was indeed only a litt^s
child and unable to speak, in God’s
hands he would be enabled to do
the impossible. For the Lord ans
wered him; "Say not, I am a child:
for tliou slialt go to all that I shall
send thee, and whatsoever I com
mand tthee thou slialt speak, Be not
afraid of their faces; for I am with
thee to deliver thee.”
In the authority and strength of
that divine commission Jeremiah did
indeed face kings and priests. He
needed to. be delivered, too, for he
was presecuted, imprisoned and in
peril of his life. But God never
failed him.
Moreover the Lord actually said
to Jeremiah, after putting forth His
hand and touching the prophet’s
mouth: "Behold, I have put my
words in thy mouth.” This is one
of t'he many evidences in the Bible
of what is. called verbal inspiration.

The second lesson passage tells of
Jeremiah’s unsparing, terrific de?
nunciation of Judali’s sins. He com
fesses those sins in 'broken-hearted
repentance, identifying himself with
his nation as every true prophet did;
"Our iniquities testify against us ,
. , ... our backslidings are m'any;
we have sinned against Thee.” But,
like Moses, he pleads with God to
forgive and save them.
The Lord’s reply is startling: ‘Pray
not’ for this people for their good ,
, I will not hear their cry,” For
kpew that the present genera
in Judali was incorrigible, and
their prayers 'and burnt offer-

Canadian Pacific Steamships Aid R-100
<An her historic Voyage across the Atlantic to Mont-
real, the mighty British dirigible, R-100, was in
continual wifeless touch with ships of the Canadian
Pacific trans-Atlantic fleet. The great air liner was
hardly out above the ocean when she was in communi
cation with S.S, “Montclare,” then approaching the
British Isles and some distance farther she overtook
the Montcalm. S'S. "Empress of France” was her next
■call as that ship was nearing Newfoundland, while
•<L>wh th« St Lawrence She spoke with the "Duchess
of York/' the "Empress Of Scotland” and the “Duchess
of Bedford/* Eighteen other C.P.R. Vessels were
lying during het flight at British dr Canadian ports.
Thus the great Canadian transportation company was
enabled to give a waiting world tlm latest particulate

nothing of real repentajiceYind faith.
Therefore, "I will consume them by
the sword, and by the famine, and
by the pestilence,”
The Lord told Jeremiah of the
false prophets who were lying to the
people. They said that sword and
famine should not come upon the
land; therefore "by sword and fam
ine shall those prophets be consum
ed,”
False prophets are uttering their
lying prophecies in Canada and the
United States'and every land today.
They are deceiving the people with
smooth and easy assurances that
mankind is so noble and true that
all will c-ome out well, even when
times seem to be dark. These false
prophets of today, and those who be
lieve them, will have a terrible
awakening. God’s judgments must
fall upon them exactly las they did
upon Israel and Judah.
Yet Jeremiah continues to plead
with God in behalf of the people
whom God chose in Abraham. The,
prophe/says: "Do not abhor us, for
Thy name’s, sake, do not disgrace
the throne of Thy glory;, remember,
break not Thy covenant with us . .
. . therefore we will wlait upon
Thee.”
God loves bold, faith-filled prayer
like that’. See what followed.
.the third section of the lesson
hear God saying to Jeremiah:
shall come to pass, that’ like as I
have watched over them, to pluck
up, and to break down, and to throw
down, and to destroy, and to afflict;
so will I watch over them, to build,
and to plant, saitli the Lord . . .
I will put My law in their inward
parts, and write it in their liearts;
and will be their God, and they shall
be My people ... I will forgive
their inquity* and I will remember
their sin no more.”
This wonderful and beautiful pro
mise of God looks forward into t-lie
centuries far beyond Jeremiah’s
time, and even beyond today. He
is fortelling the time when, at the
return of Israel’s Messiah, the Lord
Jesus Christ, to this earth, Israel
and Judah will look upon Him whom
they have pierced, and receive Him
with weeping joy.
The Apostle Paul, like all the Old
Testament prophets, saw this glor
ious day to come. Paul wrote:
"And so fall Israel shall be saved: as
it is. written. There shall come out’
of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn
away ungodliness from Jacob: for
this is My covenant unto them, when
I shall take away their sins.” (Rom.
11:26-27.)
