"It was agony that would destroy his life if it continued," This sorrow he felt for the sins of a lost race; Isa. 53, 4, explains it. The agony became so great that his sweat was great drops of blood falling down to- the ground. "It was 'with strong crying and tears' (Heb. 5, 7) : it was his soul' that was sorrowful. The physical suf- ferings of our Lord were never the chiet source of ads pain." -W. N. Clara:. Tarry ye here - Spoken to the three disciples. 39.

PEEllii And a True Story of How the Vegetable Compound Had Its Birth and How the "Panic of '73" Caused it to be offered for Public Sale in Drug Stores. This remarkable woman, whose maiden name was Estes, was born in Lynn, Mass., February Oth, 1819, com- ing from a good old Quaker family. For some years she taught school, and beeairie known as a woman of an alert and investigating mind, an earnest seeker after knowledge, and above all, possessed of a wonderfully sympathetic nature. In 1848 she married Isaac Pinkham a builder and real estate operator, ancd their early married life was marked by prosperity and happiness. They had four children, three sons and a daughter. In those good told fashioned days it was common for mothers to make their own home medicines from roots and herbs, nature's own remedies -calling in a physician only in specially urgent cases. By tradition and experience many of them gained a wonderful knowledge of the curative properties of the various roots and herbs. Mrs. Pinkham took a great interest in the study of roots and herbs? their char- acteristics and power over disease. She ( maintained that just as nature so bounti- fully provides in the harvest -fields and orchards vegetable foods of all kinds; so, if we but take the pains to find them; in the roots and herbs of the field there are remedies expressly designed to cure the various ills and weaknesses of the body, and it was her pleasure to search these out, and prepare simple and effec- tive medicines for her own family and friends. Chief of these was a rare combination of the choicest medicinal roots and herbs found best adapted for the cure of the ills and weaknesses peculiar to the female sex, and Lydia E. Pinkbam's friends and neighbors mand curd and it becamd that her eound quite popular among them. All this so far was done freely, witho'it money and without price as a labor of love. But in 1873 the financial aisle struck Lynn. Its length and severity were too much for the large real estate interests of the Pinkham fancily, as this class of business suffersl most from fearful de pression, so when the Centennial year dawned it found their property swept away. Some other source of income had to be found. At this oint Lydia E. Pinkham'e Vegetable Compound was made known to the world, The three sons and the daughter, with their mother, combined forces to restore the family fortune. They argued that the medicine which was so good for their woman friends and neighbors was equally good for the women of the whole world. The Pinkhams had no money, and little credit. Their first laboratory was the kitchen, where roots and herbs were steeped on the stove, gradually filling a gross of bottles. Then came the question of .selling it, for always before they had given it away freely. They hired a job printer to run off some pamphlets setting forth the merits of the medicine, now called Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and these were distributed by the Pinkham sons in Boston, New York, and Brooklyn. The wonderful curative properties of the medicine were, to a great extent, self -advertising, for whoever used it re- commended it to others, and the demand gradually increased. In 1877, by combined efforts the family had saved enough money to commence newspaper advertising and from that time the growth and success of the enter- prise were assured, until to -day Lydia E. Pinkham and her Vegetable Compound have become household words every- where, and many tons of roots and herbs are used annually in its manufacture. Lydia E. Pinkham herself did not live to see the great success of this work. She passed to her reward years ago, but not till she had provided means for continu- ing her work as effectively as she could have done it herself. During her long and eventful experi- ence she was ever methodical in her work and she was always careful to pre- serve a record of every case that came to her attention. The case of every sick woman who applied to her for advice - and there were thousands -received careful study and the details, including symptoms treatment and results were recorded icor future reference, and to -day these records, together with hundreds of thousands made since, are available to sick women the world over, and repre- sent a vast collaboration of information regarding the treatment of woman's ills, which for authenticity and accuracy can hardly be equaled in any library in the world. With Lydia E. Pinkham worked her daughter-in-law, the present Mrs. Pink - ham. She was carefully instructed in all her hard-won knowledge, and for years she assisted her in her vast corres- pondence. To her hands naturally fell the direc- tion of the work when its originator passed away. For nearly twenty-five , years she has continued it, and nothing m the work shows when the first Lydia E. Pinkham dropped her pen, and the present Mrs. Pinkham, now the mother of a large family, took it up. With woman asistants, some as capable as her- self, the present Mrs. Pinkham continues this great work, and probably from the office of no other hereon have so many women been advised how to regain health. Sick women, this advice is "Yours for Health" freely given if you only write to ask for it. Such ,is the history of Lydia E. Pink- ham's Vegetable Compound . made from simple roots and herbs ; the one great medicine for women's ailments, and the fitting monument to the noble woman whose name it bears. tures of the supp]icaut when the favor asked was great, and Beep Humiliation required.

If it be p ieeible, stn ---This has often been explained in a rosy to make it appear that Christ was fervently ask- ing the Father, if possible; to remove the cup of intense suffering,, whieh was done when the angel came strengthening him. Jesus knew that it was the divine purpose that he should coxae to the cross and it was in harmony with this plan that he asked that the death' agonies of this hour might pass from him. -11. C.

Cometh unto the disciples -Ile did, this three times during this awful hour. lie apparently desired communion with them and the sympathy. and comfort which they could give. Asleep -Luke says they were sleeping for sorrow. "It was very late, after midnight, long after their accustomed hour of sleep; they had been amid very exciting scenes, with their minds intensely strained, and xiow a reaction had come, of silent stillness and darkness. And yet we cannot help feeling that if they had had a deeper sympathy with Christ and oe fuller reali- zation of the crisis, they would have kept awake, and not have been found sleeping on guard. Christ's gentle re- proof implies this." Unto Peter -=Peter had just made loud professions. With me -He was suffering for them, but only expected that they wouid watch with him. One hour -Sometimes Christ con- tinued in prayer all night, but he only asked them to watch with him one hour, 41. Watch and pray -A testing time is coming, and you will need to watch ed,frefully and pray earnestly. The Chris- tian is in danger of falling a prey to the world, the flesh and the devil. The per- son who fails to watch opens the <k or for the tempter to enter. "Prayer is oars of the means by which we are en- abled to keep awake spiritually."
