All Druggists and Stores THE OLD GARDENER —SAYS— To paraphrase an old saying, "If you spare the plants you will spoil the crops," This means that the only way to grow good vegetables is to give each specimen n chance to develop properly, If allowed to remain crowd- ed for some time the plants will cer- tainly become weak and spindling, re- ceiving a check from which they never recover. Thinning must be dose as early as possible, at least .sufficiently to allow an inch between each plant. More thinning can be done later when the danger from different pests is over or when some of the plants are needed for setting in another place. .-0- Practically all vegetables are best if gathered early in the morning when the dew is upon thein. It must be re- membered, though that beans should never be picked except when they are dry, and that even to cultivate among the plants when they are wet is likely to induce an attack of rust, which causes heavy losses in home gardens. 'to some extent this rust can be con- trolled by spraying with Bordeaux Mix- ture, but there is no guarantee of im- munity. It is well to remember that unless all the pods are kept picked the vines will cease to bear, Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORIA Gen.

Men and women in ail walks of life who occupy sedentary positions are more liable to liver tronbies than those who are active from morning till nigbt. When you don't get the proper exer- cise the bowels da not move regularly, your liver becomes sluggish, the breath becomes foul, specks float before the eyes, everything turns black, constipation sets in and brings in its train numerous troubles that could be prevented if the bowels were only looked after properly.

Text:of'the Lesson, 0 Chron, xxxiv, 1. 13-- Memory Verses, 2, 3 --Golden Text, Reales, xii, 1—Commentary Pre- pared by Rev.p. M. Stearns, We have come to the record of the laet good king who reigned over Judah, and while Isaiah and Micah were the prophets during the reign of Bezekiah, Jeremiah began to prophesy in the thir- teenth year of Josiah (Isa. i, 1; We. i, 1; Jer. 1, 2). Every good prophet, priest and king points onward to the Lord Jesus who when on earth was the prophet like unto Moses, speaking just what the Father told him; who is now our greathigh priest within the veil, ever living to make intercession fora ; and who when He comes again shall be the true king of Israel, reigning in righteousness, a priest upon his throne, and we abaft be His associates and joint heirs, the twelve apostles ruling over the twelve tribes of Israel (Deet. xviii, 18, 19; John xii, 49, 50; Heb. vii, 24.27; Ter. xsiti, 5, 6; Zech, vi, 12, 13; Rev. 1, 5, 6; v, 9, 10; Luke xxii, 28-30). What a glorious future to keep ever before us, to wean us from all present entanglements and enable us to run with patience the Imee set before us (Heb, xii, 12.) As Josiah was power- less, even with the help of Jeremiah. to effectually stem the tide of ever in- creasing iniquity, we may not expect to do more than he did in the last years of his age, to which we have come. Jeremiah was a prophet of the Lord during the lust forty years pre- ceding the judgment upon Judah (the last eighteen of Josiab'a reign and the twenty-two of the four bad kings wbo succeeded him), and we may be within a good deal less than forty years of the end of this evil age, which will end with a time like the days o1 Noah and Lot ,(Luise Kit, 26.30). We elfin only do as Josiab and Jeremiah did, and that is be faitbful to God as lie gives us time mid opportunity. It is profitable to compare the reigns of Joash and Josiah (II Chron, xxiv), the two boy kings, but Josiah did better than Joash, though he did not reign fie long. To do right in the sight of the Lord, turning neither to the right hand nor to tbe lett (lesson verses 1, 2), is a good summary of a godly life and reminds of the Lord's message to Abram after the thirteen years blank in his history, "I am the Almighty God; walk before Me and be thou Perfect" (Geo. xvt, 10; xvii, 1). The message might be read literally: I am 111-Shaddai, the mighty God, all svtru•lent for you; walk before Me and be upright or sincere. It is a good word for every believer. As to being kept from turning to the right hand or to the left, there is a very gracious prmiise in Isa. xxx, 21. When Josiah was sixteen he began to seek after tbe God of David, bis father (verse 3), and no doubt he did it with all his heart, according to Jer. xxix, 13, and in no sense feignedly, as many do. Risen he was twenty he began to purge the land from idols (verses 3-8), and the saying in verse 5 about burning men's bones on the idol altars reminds us of the saying of the unnamed man of God to Jeroboam in I /Kings sift, 1, 2, when be mentioned Josiah by name as the king who would do this. In II Icings xxiif, 15-20, the tnldllment of this say- ing of the man of God le fully recorded. I often refer to this prediction and fulfillment as a token of the literal ful- filment which shall yet be of every pre• diction concerning things yet future. As truly as IIis riding upon an ass' colt foretold in Zech. ix, 9, was literally fulfilled, so truly shall the prediction of the next verse (Zech. Ix, 10) be as literally fulfilled, and Ile shall speak peace unto the nations, and His do- minion shall be from sea to sea and from the river to the ends of the earth. In Mac. v, 2, it was foretold that the Messiah would be born in Bethlehem and that He would be ruler in Israel We know that he was born in Bethle- hem, the whole world being moved by the decree of Caesar, and it was that decree which brought Mary from Nose areth to Bethlehem at that time. He has never yet ruled in Israel, but He surely will at His coming again in glory, and the whole world is now be- ing moved to prepare the way for Is- rael's restoration and recognition as a nation. We seem to have come to the beginning of times foretold by our Lord in Luke xx,1, 25-28, distress of na• tions, 'with perplexity, the sea. and the waves roaring, men's hearts failing them for fear and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth. Be said that even the begin- ning of each times would indicate the drawing near of redemption for IsreaL (Written May 28, 1916.) Josiah's ref- ormation eformation reached even to the putting away of some of the idolatry introduced by Solomon (II Dings xxiii, 18, 14). When be was twenty-eight he be- gan to repair the house of the Lord (lesson verses 8.13), and it Was then the Book of the Law was found, the result of which will be our next lesson. The house now being built is the church of the Living God, and it is the one only thing worthy of our attention.

"Your people ould be shocked," The girl frownewd. "Then why do you?" "0h, 1 don't always do as I ought to do," he answered, lightly, "do you?" "Generally," she answered gloomily. "1 have to." He surveyed her thoughtfully. 'You are to be married soon, aren't you?" he mused. The girl flushed angrily until she saw there was no offense in the vision- ary eyes of this strange young man. "How did you know that?" "Bless you, child," he answered cheerily. "Don't I read the papers?" The girl winched. "Aren't any of us Ansercians good enough for you?" he asked curiously. "1 don't know," she confessed slow- ly. "i have never had the opportunity to find out." "Good" Ile said "you have the thirst for knowledge at least." She was sitting on the rustic bench sheltered on three sides of the pines, on the fourth open to the sea. He seated himself calmly beside her. She had no sense of fear. There was some- time fine, open, clean, of the woods, of the sea, ass absence of the cantam- nia of man for man about him. "When are you married?" he asked. "Tomorrow." He was silent. "How long have you known him?" She laughed bitterly, It did not sound well this laugh, from a young gi ri. "Known hint! 1 don't know him. 1 have met him—talked with him twice —a full half hour each time with my mother and his brother." His eyes were quickly turned to her, They caught and held hers and would not let them go. "That is wicked," he said deliberate- ly, and looked at the ground. It seem- ed to her now—Wicked, that was the word. "How old are you?" he asked as one trying to kelp her solve a difficult problem. ingly.
