PRACTICAL HEALTH HINT. f
Nervousness.
Nervousness in some cases is
largely the result of habit and if
the habit be not broken is likely
to lead to disastrous results so
far as the health is concerned.
Tho very best cure for a case of
nerves is to keep busy. If you
cannot find any work of your
own help some friend who bas
more to do than she can possibly
accomplish. Be really interested
in everything you do and do it
with all your might. Nervous
women are sure to have wrin-
kles, and you will never get rid
lYi• of them until you get better con -
!
on
1f trol of your nerves.

Lesson I. -First Quarter, For
Jan. 3, 1915.
THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.
Text of the Lesson, Judg. 11, 7-19.
Memory Verses, 11, 12 -Golden Text,
Hoe. xiv, 4 -Commentary Prepared
by Rev. D. M. Stearns.
The lessons of this year begin with
five studies in the book of Judges,
showing the failure of Israel, God's fn
terventlon and man's faithlessness. Ev-
ery deliverer whom God raised up was
in some eense suggestive of the great
Deliverer, the Lord Jesus Christ, and
each one wrought in the power of the
Holy Spirit. Joshua tells of the en-
trance of Israel into the promised land
and its subjugation and division among
the tribes, ending with Joslsaa's fare
well appeal to Israel to fear the Lord
and serve Him in sincerity and in truth
and the determination of the people so
to do (Josh. xxlv, 14, 24). One of his
grandest farewell words was when he
reminded the people that not one thing
had failed of all the good things which
the Lord bad spoken (Josh. xxili, 14).
See the same blessed testimony in I
Kings, viii, 56, and let each one lay it
to heart for his own special comfort.
The section assigned us for tbis day's
lesson is a concise epitome of the book
of Judges, telling of Israel's persistent
turning away from God and of His
great patience with them. David sum-
marized the record in these words;
"Many times did He deliver them, but
they provoked Him with their counsel
and were brought low for their iniqui-
ty. Nevertheless He regarded their af-
fliction when He heard their cry" (Ps.
cvi, 43, 44; ixxvili, 88). Paul summa-
rized Joshua and Judges in these words:
"When He had destroyed seven nations
in the land of Canaan He divided their
land to them by lot. And after that He
gave unto them judges about the space
of 450 years until Samuel the prophet"
(Acts xili, 19, 20).
The first chapter of Judges tells how
tribe after tribe bad failed to drive out
the people of the land as they had been
commanded, and our lesson chapter
opens with the Lord's reproof for this
sin, saying: "Ye have not obeyed my
voice. Why have ye done this?"
(Verse 2.)
Our lesson begins by telling us that
while Joshua lived and also during the i
lifetime of the elders that outlived
Joshua the people served the Lord.
The Lord and even one man can lead
a host of people in the right direction.
Think of the worldwide testimony to
the God of Daniel by the faithfulness
of himself and his three friends. See
II Chron, xvi, 9, and desire above all
things a whole heart for Him.
The next lesson verses tell of the
death and burial of Joshua, and these
three verses (7-0) are identical with
Josh, xxiv, 29.31. When the Spirit re-
peats words He thus asks special at-
tention to them. The words that spe-
cially hold me are "Joshua the servant
of the Lord" and "The people served
the Lord" and make me wish to appro-
priate more fully the beautiful heart
words "Whose I am and whom I serve"
(Acts xxvii, 23). Joshua ends with the
burial of two other bodies, those of
Joseph after so long a time and Elea -
ear, the son of Aaron.
Bodies are buried, but people go on
living better without them (if redeem•
ed) until the time of the resurrection
bodies. How pitiful to read of "a gen,
Ioration which knew not the Lord"
(verse 10), and they the descendants of
a people for whom the Lord wrought
as He had never wrought for any other
nation! They forsook the Lord God
of their fathers, did evil in His sight
and worshiped the idols of the nations
which should hays been destroyed by
them, for the Lord had said, "Thou
Shalt make no covenant with them nor
chew mercy unto them, * * * for thou
art an holy people unto the Lord thy.
God, * * * a special people unto Him-
self above all peoplethat are upon the
face of " the earth" (Deut. vii, 2-6).
Such sowing brings sad reaping ac-
cording to lesson verses 14, 15; chapter
5-8, 12, 13, and records in chapters
following of sfmllar turnings away
from God.
A very odd thumbs and toes story or.
sowing and reaping is found in chapter
1, 8, 7. The principle always. stands,
"Whatsoever a man soweth that shall
be also reap" (Gal. vl, 7). Nevertheless
the, Lord raised up judges, who deliv-
ered them, for the Lord was with the
judge (verses 16, 18; chapter' ill, 9, 15).
We should think that the Lord would
grow weary of forgiving and delivering
a people whom He knew would after a
time commit the same sins again, but
He is the same Lord who told Peter
to forgive until seventy times seven,
or until the end of Daniel's seventy-
'sevens, which means the coming of the
kiingdom.,
They would not hearken unto their
judges; they turned quickly out ofthe
way; they ceased not from their owu
doings nor, from their stubborn way
(verses 17. 10)Long afterward it was
written of them, "Their doings will not
suffer them to turn unto their God"
(Hos, v, 4, m/uginl.
In the.days of thele kings they mock-
ed the messengers of God and despised
His words and misused His prophets
(II Chrou, xxxvi, 10), and when the
Messiah =came In the fullness of time
they crucified. Him. Yet He said "How
often would 1, * * * but ye would not."
"0 Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself,
but in Me is thine help." "1 will heal
their backsliding; T will love them free -
Ly" (M1ttt,, 87; Hos xifi, 9; slut 4).;

There is no line of business that'
has been harder hit by war condi-
tions that that of newspaper pub-
lishing. The demands atpresent
have added enormously . 'ti the -
cost of newspaper production,
whilst the revenues have fallen off
in keeping with the slump in other
lines of business, with a result
anything but satisfactory in the
balancing of cost and revenue.
We should be pleased if our read
ers would keep this fact in mind
and help relieve the tension of the
Christmas season by remitting all
arrearages with a dollar added' for:
the coming year.
Letters containing these remit-
tances will be the most( acceptable
Christmas boxes that the publisher
can receive, in that they will carry
tangible evidence of appreciation
of the work he is trying to do.
Wishing you all a Merry, Christ-
mas and a Happy and Prosperous
New Year.

It You Wish to Be Well You
Must Keep the Bowels Regulere,
If the bowels do not move regularly
they will, sooner or later, become con-
stipated, and constipation is productive
of more ill health than almost any other
trouble.
The sole cause of constipation is an
inactive liver, and unless the liver is
kept active you may rest assured that
headaches,aundice, heartburn, piles,
floating specks before the eyes, a feeling
as if you were going to faint, or cetera of
the stomach will follow the wrong action
of this, one of the most important organs
of the body.
Keep the liver active and ;working
properly by the use of Milburn+ys ILaxa-,
Liver Pills.
Mrs. Elijah A. Ayer, , Fan tett 11
N.B., writes: "I was troubled with
constipation for many fears, and abot}t
three years ago my husband wanted me
to try Milburn's Laxa-Liver Pills, as they,
had cured him. I got a vial and took
them, and by the time I' had taken three
vials I was cured. I always keep them on
hand, and when I need a mild laxative
I take one."
