Mrs. Mary McLean Suffered from Rheumatism and Kidney Trouble and was Relieved by Dodd's Kidney Pills. The Point, West Bay, Richmond Co., N. S., April 16th. (Special). "I suf- fered .from Rheumatism and Kidney) trouble, and after spending a consid- erable amount of money on other lmealcines, I tried Dodd's. Kidney Pills. They have done me moregood thai any other medicine I have ever tak- en," Mrs. Mary McLean, who lives here, makes thio statement,, She. says, that Dodd's I(idney Pills are all that they are claimed ,to be. Dodd's Kidney Pills are no experi- ment. They\ have been relieving Kid= ney disease in all -parte of Canada for over a quarter of a century. Dodd's Kidney' Pills'act directly on the Kidneys, strengthening them so that they do their full work of strain- ing all the impurities out of the blood. Uric acid crystallizing in the muscles causes the pains known as rheuma- tism. With no Uric Acid in the blood there can be no rheumatism. Ask your neighbors if Dodd's Kid- ney Pills do not make sound Kidneys. SUNDAY AFTERNOON (By Isabel Hamilton, Goderich, Ont.)

Golden Text—Exod. 14:13. How long the policy of oppression had been in force against the He- brews before the Exodus, can only be conjectured. Jewish tradition tells us that Joseph had been almost uni- versally loved by the Egyptians; but after his death through the Hebrews turned so much. towards Egyptia,i ways, as even in many cases to ne- glect the circumcision of their chil- dren, popular dislike increased against them. Taxes and forced labor were exacted instead of their being left free, as hitherto. Fields, vineyards and other possessions, given them Joseph, were taken from them and they were formally enslaved. They had, moreover, to build fortresses, ci- ties and pyramids, and even the wo• en had), to toil in many ways. (Geikie The vast host of, at least, two mil- lions of men, women and children set forth under the leadership of Moses. Out of this horde he had now the task of forming a nation. At first all went well. A new sense of power was aroused in the breasts of these lora nslaved masses. The o n e thought in every Mind seemed to be, we are journeying to the Promised Land. They knew the strength of Pharaoh's army, and their own in ability to stand up against the foe should it overtake them. They were unarmed, and moreover so situ- ated as to be hemmed in on either side, and with the sea in front. Their help, if there was to be any, must come from above and from above it came. As they cast backward glan- ces and saw the chariots of Pharaoh coating nearer and nearer they were greatly frightened. In their fear some, at least, prayed but others murmured against Moses and re- proached him. The great leader saint in the presence of danger, stay- ed the panic. They, for the time,. forgot their galling slavery, forgot that ;'it is better to die in the field of honor, than to live in the chains of slavery." Their murmuring indictee. ed ingratitude both to God and MOH- es—to God who had signally mani- fested His mercy in sparing them when the first born in every Egyp- tian home was slain; to Moses in forgetting his interest in them both before and during the early days 'of the exodus. Whatever he did they should have remembered he did it under God's direction and with their ultimate good in view. Moses in an- swering their murmurings does not "answer a fool according to his fol- ly," but assurea them of a speedy andsure deliverance. "Fear ye not, .stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will show to you to -day;, for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to -day, ye shall see them again no afore' for ever. The- Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace" (verses 11-14). Moses was fully assured in his own mind and strove to impart that sante feel- ing of confidence to the wavering host, He counselled them to be quiet and see how God who had brought His people into this predicament would most assuredly make a way of escape. It was theirs to "stand still and hold their peace." We read in Isa. 30.7 "For the Egyptians 041hell. in vain, and to no purpose; therefore have I cried concerning this. Their strength is to sit still.' Verses 15-16 "And the Lord said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? Speak unto the children of Israel that they go forward. But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it" These were the explicit direc- tions given to Moses—first for his own direction and then for that of the people. There was, then as now, a time for everything so he was :o cease praying and attend to the busi- ness of the hour. We are not given the words of Moses' prayer but the nature of it is to be seen in the use of the word "criest." It was an im- portunate prayer, possibly unuttered as in the case of Hannah (1 Sam. 1.13). "Now Hannah, she spake in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard." Ho thereupon, went about issuing orders to the host of Israel. If he prayed that the Lord would forgive the mur- murings of the people he is given the answer in the words of encourage- ment, "Speak to them, that they go forward." These words of command would act upon them like magic, for were they not terror stricken and doing somethinff was better than fall- ing helplessly into the hands of the on -coming Egyptians? They were to go as far as they could on dry land, and then the Lord would take charge and make "a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters," (Jsa. 43.10) and thus God would show favor to Israel, His own people. At the same time He would get honor upon Pharaoh. Verses 17-19 "And I, behold, i will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them: And I p (2210'. l@: 14n41luge,. oV Tod aloe can amen and .; e a can mites the 1heart. We have many 7121 19, e1 28,18).zeIt 11.18a 9 t thing that those who like - the Eg'- Haim resisted time and again iiis brace should at Met come under His judgment. Ten times did they hear his command to let His people go ; and as often did they harden their hearts until. ruin and destruction be- fell them. In like manner the child - mu of Icrc:el provoked God, ten times, f which the instance in thio lesson in the first, until they too died in the wilderness, (Num. 14:2244). Verses 19.20. 'And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of a clopd, to lead them the way; and by night in a pil- lar of fire,' to give them light; to go by day and night. He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from be- fore the people." (Ex. 18;2142). They no longer needed a light to guide them, for they had no explicit direction to move straight forward into the sea. They did however, re- quire a rear guard. The symbol of God's presence with them moved ani took up its position between the two peoples. making a dark cloud to the Egyptians, and acting as a light shin- ing over the Israelites. God made a division between light and darkness as He did at the creation; and as He eser does between good and evil. "1 am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside me; I girded thee, though thou hast not know!) me! That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the Lord, and there is none else. "I form the light, and create dark - noes; I make peace and create evil; I, the Lord, do all these things."(Isa. 46:5-7). Verses 21-22. Here we have the beginning of the record of that wonderful miracle of which frequent mention is made in 'hoth Old and New Teldaments. Here we have an instance of' God's sover- eignty over nature. The laws of nature are subject to Him who made them; and so- the waves obeyed His will. "A strong east wind blew all night, and caused the sea to go back, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided, and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand and on their left." We would draw from all this the lesson that God can bring His. people through the greatest difficulties, and make a way where there is seeming- ly none. WORLD WIDE MISSIONS The Recognition of Christianity as the Solution of the World's Woe. Prominent statesmen, educators, journalists, captains of industry un- ite in holding that the church, with hr:r gospel of goodwill and brother- hood, is the only hope of the world. Never has there been such a chorus of appeal to God's people to get to- gether and to get busy extending the liner of Christian influence and pow- er. This was the heart of that great appeal of Lloyd George and the other British premiers in their New Year's Day message to the British people in 1921. Said Frank A. Van- derlip, upon returning from Europe recently, "The fundamental need of Europe is spiritual," By common consent the greatest utterance conn- ing out• of the war was the dying words of Edith Cavell. "I perceive that patriotism is not enough." To- day the .rulers of the world are say- ing: "Patriotism .is not enough." God's Spirt# is moving upon the masses. This is the day of the "mass movement," by which villages, communities, castes as a whole leek admission to the Church. In India it has reached the. proportions of a tidal wave. The problem is not how to make converts but how to care for the multitudes who press. into the Church. Similar movements are de- velerping in Africa, certain sections of China, and throughout Korea. These may become general at any time. With governments favorable and people eager, we may look for the rapid progress of Christianity in the riper fields. —Cornelius 11. Patton. PALE FACES AND WORN OUT NERVES Due Solely to Weak, Watery Blood ---A Tonic is Needed. Anaemia — literally impoverished blood—comes on so stealthily that it is often well advanced before its pres- ence is recognized. Feelings of fatigue and discomfort are the earli- est manifestations of the trouble and they are seldom taken seriously. Gradually small tasks become an ef- fort and exertion causes the he;lrt to palpitate violently. The complexion becomes sallow or pale and there le loss of weight. The nerves grow weak and the victim displays irritability un- der slight provocation and is extrem- ely sensitive to noise. The appetite is fickle and indigestion often follows. A condition of anaemia calls for a tonic, one that will enrich the blood and strengthen the nerves, and Inc this purpose there is nothing can equal Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. These pills give the blood all those missing elements necessary to give strength to the nerves, color to the cheeks and nourishment to starved organs and tissues. Miss Margaret J. Fraser, R. R. 2, Thessalon, Ont., has proved the value of this treatment. She says: "I was very pale and weak. My blood was poor and I was very nervous. I lost my appetite, my feet and ankles were swollen and I was in a very mis- erable condition. A friend advised me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and I got two boxes, aftd found be- fore they were finished that they were helping me. I continued the pills until I had taken a half dozen boxes, with the result that I am now enjoying the hest of health all symp- toms having disappeared. I feel con- fident that what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills did for me they will do for others, if given a fair trial." You can get these pills from any medicine dealer or by nail at 50 cts. a box from The Dr. Williams' Medi- cine Cn., Brockville, Ont. .04'41 Csodnmsfpt �U * "pyar and a) and atp ext 1 tare to Was Gavp- e UM Earl V12,12br; who died in Germany a , Qift ago.

In her. short and eventful career of fourteen weeks she destroyed 74,000 tone of British andother enelpy shipping, ,including tweety-two elders, with a JAM) value .oY $ 0,000,000.

She was the moat, famous of the German raidera, and yet It is said that except in the lest'figght, with the Australian cruiser Sydney, t h a t finally sent her to the bottom, she was not responsible for the loss of a single life. In the fight with the Sydney, three wee killed and fifteen were wounded en the latter, while the Emden's losses. were much heavier, Karl Von Mueller was one of the best known of German naval of i- i cars, a thorough sailor, and popular both in his profession and socially. He was one of the staff that repre- sented the German Empeeor at the marriage of King George. When war broke out the Emden, a small cruiser of 3,650 tons and 361 men, v, as in the Yellow Sea. Two days after the declaration she was re- ported sunk by a Russian ship, but later came the news that onthe previous day she had sunk a British slip, and was at- large. Then for six weeks there. was silence, at the end of which the Admiralty su- nounced that she had entered the Bay of Bengal and captured six British ships; five of which she had sunk, while the sixth- was sent to Calcutta . with the captured cres. Von Mueller was now in the vicinity in which _he had determined to oper- ate, and some part of bis subsequent success was due to the fact that at that time there was little or no wire- h7i rA 1H ig tqy '8 wi 1 9 w) R tt! t s rdsr.•e.r nafni m u sarLXHu✓L hat,Y � 'R itt+fBL. trf241071k ;1~3 a ?fool : * 1 I sup ea as i?Srtxr s ux ae'vw t :sat �. ,.f lit irr less in the Indian Octti, The Emden was equipped, howeveeii''yRnd no doubt was able to get many messages of value to her. The next few weeks were thrilling ores. The Emden raced through the Indian Ocean like a terrier in a rat -infested barn, harrying com- merce, sinking ships, slipping quietly into enemy harbors at times with the disguise of false flags and a false fourth funnel. By the time the alarm had been sent in she had disappeared, only to turn up again where least expected anis pounce on another merchantman. She kept herself supplied with coal from the vessels she captured, and these fur- bished all her other supplies. There was not a harbor which she could enter in safety, and there was al- ways the danger, which German submarines in the North Sea learned to their cost, that the lumbering merchantman which she hailed might suddenly prove to be a fight- ing ship with guns concealed. The prisoners she made were always well treated, and they were only prison- ers long enough to enable the Em- den to capture another ship and send them home, once she had made up a sufficient list to demand a whole ship for their accommoda- tion. The Emden was grimly and need- ed overhauling. Finally it became imperative that her bottom should be scraped of barnacles. Where to go was the problem, but Captain Von Mueller finally concluded to take a chance on the little island of Diego Garcia, a British possession, which he rightly supposed was not likely to be one of the haunts of the British navy. So, with the German flag boldly flying, he steamed into the harbor. On shore British flags were flying from most of the buildings and the population was gathered along the beach, waving handkerchiefs. The commander was still more amazed when he saw a boat put out to the ship bearing a man who was obvious- ly the Governor of the island, and whose face was wreathed in smiles. When he got on board he .was most hearty in his welcome, for he said that a German ship had not honored the island with a visit since 1898. He. desired to know in what way he might be of service. The Germans, though dumbfounded. treated him with equal cordiality, and in a short while learned that the islanders received mail only once every six months and were quite unaware that a war was on. The Emden was treated like n valued guest, and war given every facility to make the necessary over- hauling. After this: was finished the Governor said that he had a motorboat that had been out of order for *some time, and the Emden mechanics soon put to to rights. After this they separated with the utmost politeness. Unce more thd Emden appeared in the Indian Ocean sinking ships, and even' throwing some shells into the city of Madras. In the Straits of Penang she sank a Russian cruiser and a French de- stroyer. But her time was draw- ing to a close. The hunters were on her track, and one day the Aus- tralian cruiser Sydney came upnn her at the Cocos island, off the Java coast, where she had put in to destroy the cable station. Some of her men were ashore when the Sydney hove in sight. and the siren blew frantically to summon them, but before they returned the Emden had to flee. The fight that followed lasted for thirty miles, and then the Emden, ablaze, and her decks cover- ed with dead, was run ashore on North Keeling Island. Captain Von Mueller was received with all the honors of a prisoner "f war, and by order of the Admiralty he and his officers were permitted to retain their swards, Montreal, Que,—Canada impnrterl from the United States during 1922 more iron and steel than any other country, with the pnsrible exeept.inn of .Tapan, according to a statement issued by the Department of Trade and Commerce.
