PRACTICAL NOTES.
Verse 1. A rod. A new shoot, The
stem of Jesse, The stump or roots,
and therefore this rod is the beginning
of a hew tree. Jesse was the ances-
tor of David. A branch, The Habrew
word here used is nalzer, which olosely

phical surname, the Nazarene. Grow
out of his route, "Out or, his roots
shall be fruitful" Strangely enough,
the word rendered "fruitful" is the
word from which "Ephratab," another
name for Bethlehem, is derived. When
these words were uttered the tree of
fosse was not yet otat down,
2. This verse describes the character
of the king who has . just been spoken of
as a branch from Jesse's roots, The
Spirit of the Lord, The spirit of Je-
hovah, Shall rest upon him. Clothing
him like a garment, Now comes a six-
fold analysis of the Holy Spirit which
has made a deep impresslon on all ages
of Christendom. It has been repeated-
ly compared to the golden candlestick
or lampetand of the temple, which was
a golden shaft with three pairs of arms
proceeding from it, and which was pop-
ularly understood to be emblematic of
the divine nature. The golden shaft
here is the Spirit of the Lord, and his
perfect fullness is shown by 'the pairs
of graces now named—wisdom and un-
derstanding, , . , counsel and might,
. . knowledge and of the fear of
the Lord. That is, intelleotual and
moral clearness, right conclusions and
the ability to carry theme out with en-
ergy, acquaintance with the will of
God and holy reverence,
8. 00 quick understanding in the
fear of the Lord. The Hebrew word
is also applied to "sent", and crilios
divide as to whether the meaning here
is quiok apprehension, perspicacity of
mind, or great delight, an allusion to
the hound or to the scent of flowers.
Another translation is, "He draws
breath in the fear. of Lhe, Lord," whioh
is the most expressive definition of
sinlessness, that sanlessness which
is the attribute of Christ alone. He
shalt not judge after the sight of his
eyes, neither reprove after
the hearing of his ears. The imagery
here is so daring that it should be ex-
plained with profound reverence. He
has a scent for good. things. He will
not depend on his sight or his hearing
or his intellectual judgment, but all
his judgments are in the fear of the
Lord.

Judges 111 the l8ast have been in all

ED !TORS, CLERGYMEN,
gen and Women in all Walks of Life Tell of the Remarkablo
Cures Wrought by South American Nervine 'Tonic,
SIX DOSES WELL CONVINCE THE MOST IMEDULOU S
EDITOR COLWELL, OF PARIS, ONT., REVIEW.
Newspaper odiaore are almost as
soeptical as the average phyeioian on
the subject of new remedies for sick
people. Nothing short of a series of
most remarkable and well authenti-
cated cures will inoline either an
editor or a doctor to seriously consider
the merits honestly olaimed for e•
medicine.
Hundreds of testimonials of won-
derful recoveries wrought with the
Great South American Nervine Tonio
were received from men and women
all over the country before physicians
began to prescribe this great remedy
in chronic oases of dyspepsia, in-
digestion, nervous prostration, sick
headache, and as a tonic for build-
ing up systems sapped of vitality
through protracted spells of eiok-
ne99.
During his experience of nearly a
quarter of a century as a newspaper
publisher in Paris, Ont., Editor Clol-
well, of The Paris Review, has pub-
lished hundreds of columns of paid
medicine advertisements, and, no
doubt, printed many a gracefully -
worded puff for his patrons as a
matter of business, but in only a
single instance, and that One warrant-
ed by his own personal experience,
has lie given a testimonial over his
own signature. No other remedy
ever offered the public has proved
such a marvellous revelation to the
most sceptical as the South American
Nervine Tonic. It has never failed
in its purpose, and it has cured when
doctors and other medicines were
tried in vain.
" I was prostrated with a particu-
larly severe attack of ' Le Grippe,'"
says Mr. Oolwell, "and could find ne
relief from the intense pains and dig.
tress of the malady. E saffered day
and night. The doctors did not help
me, and I tried a number of medi.
cines, but without relief. About this
time I was advised to try the South
Amerioan Nervine Tonic. Its effects
were instantaneous. The first dose I
took relieved me. I improved rapidly
and grew stronger every day. Your -
Nervine Tonic cured me in a aingid
week."
The South Amerioan Nor'rine
Tonic rebuilds the life forces by its
direct action on the nerves and the
nerve centres, and it ie this notable
feature which clietinguishee it from
every other remedy in existence. The
most eminent medical authorities now
concede tha t fully two-thirds of all the
physical ailments of humanity arise
from exhaustion of the nerve forces.
The South American Nervine Tonio
acting direot upon the nerve centres
and nerve tissues instantaneously
supplies them with the true nourish-
ment required, and that is why ite
invigorating effeots upon the whole
system are always felt immediately.
For all nervous diseases, for genera
debility arising from enfeebled vital•
ity, and for stomach troubles of every
variety no other remedy can possibly
take its place.

A new parson who joined at alarge
home station was most anxious to im-
prove the general conduct of the par-
ade'ser'vice. Amongst other things, he
decided to adopt the eastward position
during the recitation of the Creed.
Only the color, who ill a garrison
church are those members of the band
whose instruments are unsuitable for
church mu.=io, would be affected, as
they alone oecupiod side pews. There
was no aggrieved parishioner to con-
sult, and the matter could be easily
arrauged at the weekly practice. ,But
the chaplain was dieappointed. The ef-
fect, however much as it might have
satisfied him es an ecolesiastin dis-
pleased 1111013011, soldier. His idea was
10 repeat the first two words himself
and make a pause; then, as be spoke
again, the choir were to turn as one
man and proceed with the declaration
of their Convictions simultaneously.
But from the chaplain's poiut of view
the rehearsal was most slovenly, and
he confided the fact Le the sergeant -
major, on whom he was paying a call
next day. Then the sergeant -major ad.
Vinod. "If 1 might suggest, 'sir, 1'd
just let things be 'as you were' this
Sunday, and I'll step up next practice."
'rhe chaplain gratefully aoqulosred and
at the next 900011ec the sergeant -major
acoordingly etopped up. No• possible
eil'anrnstanems or sot of condition, can
eradicate or even dull the military in-
stints of a sergeant -major. He had
a short conversation with the chaplain,
and j hen a880essed the choir. 'Now,
men. The more sound of his voice was
electric..' No little band boy now toiled
on the 'obeli desk. The third fingers
of the hands were on the seams of the
trousers and the beide erect. Even
the man struggling with the bassoon
sat to attention. The sergeant -major
proceeded. "When you 'ear the 'sly
man arty '551. ',glove' not a move—them
words as only cautio4ary; but when 11e ,
starts on 'Gord the Father,' round year
go on y01' 'eels." Then to the chaplain
--"N ..1, sir, you try." The chaplain
wee wise enough to nolo that the
soared words had been uttered and re-
ceived in perfect good faith and with-
out a semblance of profanity, so he
thanked the sergeant -major and
"tried" forthwith. Success was in-
