have been a cry of physical pain. "Mai
Van Vechten, :I am wholly unworthy
of any gentleman's forbearance and'
courtesy the meet ordinarly civility,
from you but heaps bumiliation upon
humiliation. I deserve nothing from
you but scorn and contumely. That, I
can endure; but kindness-?" She was
enable to proceed.
At last Van Vechten was beginning
to comprehend the motive behind this
visit.
"If you don't compose yourself," he
said pleasantly, "we are not likely to,
arrive at any sort of •understanding.
!'Suppose You Tell Me Who You Are.'
Please drag a chair over close to me-
I can't see you very well, you know;
noncan I observe all the niceties of
behavior with which I would like to
celebrate this event and make you
welcome. For, believe me, nobody
ever -crossed my threshold who was
more welcome!'
He could see well enough, however,
to note that any reference to his pres-
ent incapacity hurt the girl. She did
pot stir.
"If you don't," he supplemented, "I
shall be obliged to make the effort
anyhow."
At once she brought a chair over
close to him and sat down. Support-,
w ppo
ing her chin with one hand, she rest-
ed the elbow upon an arm of the chair:
She was so winsome and pretty, and
albeit so distressed, that Van Vechten
wanted morethan anything is to
y g e e
make her see a ludicrous side of the
whole affair. But as yet he had no
hint of how vitally serious it was to,
her; at present her intense nature
was much too earnest to be swayed
by any attempt at levity, or any play
of his cynical humor. .
Pretty soon she gained her eelf-con-
t
sol and began e e -in
aL with a degree
g P g g
of calmness.
"Mr. Van Vechten, if somebody had
told me the story of what happehed
Tuesday afternoon about some woman
other than myself, I would have be-
lieved it too monstrous to be true"
"But you did nothing,". Van Vechten
objected. "You were in deadly peril;.
the fellow was irresponsible."
"I could have brought you assist-
ance and I did not -deliberately. I
even kept the affair

to a living soul; `except
that I took measures to protect myself
from future similar annoyance by that
dreadful creature." In a sudden pas-
sionate outburst, she sat upright, "My
'God! -he might have murdered you!"
"But he did not, you see. Nor did
he injure you. So why talk about it?
S can think of a thousand pleasanter
;topics -yourself, for example. Sup,
nose you tell me who you are?"
The dark eyes were regarding him,
tragically.
"My name does not in the least mat -
:ter," eke demurred. "I am a despicable
creature who bad the effrontery to,
hate you just because your name hap-
pens to be Van Vechten."
That young gentleman pricked up
his ears at this. He quickly inter,
'posed:
"That being the case, I seem to be
more concerned than you are willing.
to admit. Why should you hate the
name Van Vechten? I must confess
that I have added nothing to its Inc.

aror allowed the clan'e gonfalon to trail

"No, no -I am too full of shame and

When the kidneys get - ill the back

But the back is not to blame.
The ache comes from the kidneys,
which lie under the small of the back.
Therefore, dull pain in the back, or

Plasters and liniments will not cure
a bad back, for they cannot reach the

Doan's Kidney Pills reach the kidneys
themselves. They are a special' kidney

was a complete wreck. I had given up
all hope of getting'better or living any
length of time, as I was such a sufferer
from female troubles. But I took Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and
today I am in good health and have a
pair oe twin boys two months old and
growing finely. I surprised doctors and
neighbors for they all know what a
wreck I was.
"Now I am healthy, happy and hearty,
and owe, it all to Lydia E. Pinkham's

better health." -Mrs. J. T. COOK, Lot
No. 7, Cape Wolfe, P.E.I., Canada.
Because your case is a difficult one, and
doctors having done you no good, do not
continue to suffer without giving Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable. Compound a
trial. It surely has remedied many
cases of female ills, such 'as inflamma-
tion, ulceration, displacements, tumors,
irregularities, periodic pains, backache,
and it maybe exactly what you need.
The Plnkham r,cord is a proud and
peerless one. It is
a record of constant

For once in his life, at least, Van

Lesson VIM. -Second Quarter,
For May 23, 1915.
THE .INTERNATIONAL SERIES.
Text of the Lesson, 1I Sam. i!,' 1.7; v,
1 -5 -Memory Verses, v, 2, 3 -Golden
Text, Ps. xxviii, 7 -Commentary Pre-
pared by Rev. D. M. Stearns.
In the two portions assigned for this
lesson we have the record of David's
second and third anointings over
Judith and over alt Israel (11, 4; v,
3), the first, anointing being at the
hands of Samuel (1 Sam. xvi, 13). As
all 'auointings are suggestive of the
work of the Holy Spirit and of Him
whom God anointed with the Holy
Ghost and with- power (Acts x, 33),
who also anoints and seals the believer
with the Holy Spirit (II Cor. i, 21, 22).
we will turnfor a few minutes to the
other lesson for today in 1 Cor. xii,
1-13 to notice that no one can say that
Jesus is the Lord, but by the. Holy
Spirit, and that by tee same Spirit
each believer receives gifts for service
as the Spirit sees fit; to everyman ac-
cording to his several ability, to every
man his work (Matt. xxv, 15; Mark
xiii, 34). As our Lord Jesus Christ, the
son of David, is waiting for His king-
dom, when He will occupy the throne
of David, so alt true believers, anointed
kings and priests, associates of Him
who shall be a priest upon His throne,
the true Melchizedek, are wafting with
Him and for Him, He at the Father's
right hand and we in the conflict here
(Luke 1, 32, 33; Rev. i, 6, 6; Zecb. vi, 13;
Gen. sly, 1S; Pe, ex, 1, 4). While we
wait it is our privilege to suffer with
Him and to serve HIm in any way or
place which He may assign to us,
knowing that the glory of His king-
dom will abundantly recompense 'for
all suffering or 'service during the little
while of waiting. Returning to our
lesson in Samuel, we note that, though
Saul was dead, the rule over all Israel
did not come to David at once, but in
Hebron over Judah for seven years
and then in Jerusalem over all Israel
and Judah for thirty-three years (chap-
ter v, 5).
We may find an analogy in the com-
ing of the kingdom of our Lord Jesus
Christ when all the kingdoms of this
world shall have become Hts (Rev. xi,
15), and we may then see more clearly
the significance of David's three anoint
Ings.
We cannot help noting David's la-
mentation over Saul and Jonathan,
with its thrice repeated "How are the
P c
mighty fallen!" (II Sam. i, 19, 25, 27).
How he could say that Saul and Jona-
than were lovely and pleasant in their
lives 1 do not know unless on the same
principle that God diel not see iniquity
in Jacob nor perverseness to Israel
(Num. xxiii, 21), grace covering up the
wrong. We can more .easily under-
stand how David could say of Jona-
than, "Thy love to me was wonderful,
passing the love of women" (i, 20),

HAGnRsvlpr.rl, OHI., AVG. 28th. 1903.
"I can highly recommend "Fruit -a-'
Lives" because they did mean awful
lot of good and I cannot speak too
highly about them. About four years
ago, I commenced taking "Fruit-a-
tives" for a general break -down and
!they did me a world of good. We
bought a good many dollar's worth.
but it was money well spent because
they did all that you claim for them.
Their action is so pleasant, compared
with other laxatives, that I found only
pleasure, as well as health, in taking
them. They seemed to rue to be
particularly suited to women, on
account of their mild and gentle action,
and I trust thatsome other women
may start taking "Fruit-a-tives" after
reading my letter, and if they do, I am
satisfied the results will be the same
as in my own case".

that was ever seen or known -the love
of God in Christ Jesus to sinners
(Rom. v, 8; John til, i0; I John ill, 10;.
Iv, 10). See David's habit of inquiring
of the Lord concerning guidarnce in all
matters of the kingdom (ii, 1; v, 10, 23;
also I Sam. exiii, 2, 4; xxx, 8), remind-
ing us of some of the good advice of
his son. Solomon, "In all thy ways ac-
knewledge Elim, and Fie shall direct
thy paths" (Prov, iii, 6).
Although David knew that the king-
dom was now his, he would not do
anything w!tbout the Lord's guidance
as to when and where. At the Lord's
command he went to Hebron with Iris
own and his faithful followers' house-
holds, and there the men of Judah
anointed him king over the house of
Judah. See the story of Hebron in
connection with Abraham and Isaac
and Caleb, and let us learn to live in
fellowship with God, David's words
to the men of Jabesh-gilead are for
us also, that we may be strong and
valiant for God (tl, 7). The intervening
chapters in our lesson Story tell of the
opposition to David by the house of
Saul, but that David waxed stronger
and stronger and the house of Saul
weaker and weaker (iii, 1). In our
conflict t e
i cannot be said t
present eon
i .•
the devil is waxing weaker ankle
er, for his greatest effort will be just
before his final overthrow, but in due
time be will be overthrown, and Jesus
Christ shall reign (I's. Ixxii, 11).
After David became king ores all
Israel it is written that "David went
on and grew great (went goiug and
growing -margin). and the Lord God
of hosts was with him" (v, 10). That
the Lord was with bin! Is repeated
again and again in his story (I Sam.
xvi, 18; xviii, 12, 1-1, 23) and reminds
us ofthis c
his blessed assurance to Isaac,
Jacob, 5luses, Joshua, Gideon and oth-
ers and of His tvOrd to all who go
forth in Ills name as ills messengers

(Gen. xxvi, i L ,
Josh. I, 5; Judg. vi, 10; Ise. xli, 10;
flag. ii, 4, 5; Mutt. xxviil, 20). The
Lord's presence does not insure us
freedom from all adversaries, but it
doe's assure us of victory over them.
David had to say concerning , ' c nc rning some
with whom he had to deal, "1 mu this
(ley weak thought etiolated king, and
theee men, the Sans of Ger iahare
too hard for nee" (itt, 30). Compete
Num. xi, 14; I Kings xix, 7; I's. xxxv,
10; laxiti, 10, and then thank God that
nothing is too hard for flim (Gen. xviii,
14; ;fen xxxi], 17), and roll all cares
and burdens upon Him, and trust Him
to carry you and them. All real work
for God must be by the Spirit of God,
and when He is in control we will
fear no mountain nor despise any small
things (Zech. iv).

The Manitoba Situation
The change of government in
elanitobie 'occurred under circum-
stances almost unique. The legis-
lature was not in session, there
ant for see:to-comedy. 'He can say i had been no recent vedict against
the most excruciating things with the government at the p0115
an absolutely straieht face. He
can ask other people to :believe
tvha't he ' doesn't believe himself
and never blink an eye. Although
he is a ,'ery rich man he some -
'nines makes noises like a horny
handed son 'of toil. The only
thing lacking 19 the ring of 'one
kind and another but that ring he
has never been quite able to break
into.
No doubt: the 'Honorable Bob is
earnest enough in wanting agen-
eral election but where 1:e falls
down is. in the matter of excirses.
The Liberal r prose has misbehaved.
That is to say it has published full
reports or the army scandals. The
Opposition in Parliament has been
fiercely partisan. That is to say
it has followed up the graft in the
Shoe Committee and Public -Ac-'
counts Committee. When it was rr
question of voting 51.10,000,090 for
'.eel purposes of the War the '01-,
po rition was as keen to help the
filletsht Empire and the cause ,of
eumanity as even Bob Rogers
could desire but when it comes
to seeing that every dollar of that
one hrtudred and fifty million:,

The Roblin government has been

change of government should not

Another grudge of Bob's is the
Senate. The Serrate made the

The Senate was a great clisap-

friends a chance to wave the old

Old Senate, W111011 is subtle as it
is, brave, got together and made
