health. Why neglect the grown-ups? Personal hygiene
cannot be properly attended to without a bathroom, as
its absence is only an excuse for neglecting Nature, and
a neglected Nature means frequent ills.
Wespecialize in modern bathrooms. Their cost is not
nearly that of a piano and everyone in the house can ut-
ilize them. Buy one now. Satisfy Nature's longing and
you will agree with everyone that next to the cupboard,
the bathroom is the best part of the house.

Jesus, with Thy Church abide;
Be her Saviour, Lord and Guide,
While on earth her faith is tried;
We beseech Thee, hear us.
May she one in doctrine be;
One in truth and charity,
Winning all to faith in thee;
We beseech Thee, hear us.
May she hold triumphs win,
Overthrow the hosts of sin,
Gather all the nations in;
We beseech Thee, hear us.

I S. S. LESSON FOR SEPT. 2:ird,
1923
Lesson Title—Timothy a Good Min-
ister of -Jesus Christ.
Lesson l'aasage — Actal 16:1-J;
Phil. 2:19-2.2; 2 Tint. 1:1-6, 3; 14, 15.
Golden Text -1 'Tim. 9:12.
All our information about Timothy
is gathered from the New Testa-
ment, and largely from the writings
of Paul and of Luke in his narrative
of the journeyings of Paul and his
companions. It is from the latter
(Acts 16:1-3) that we gather that
Timothy was born at either Derbe or
Lystra, and that it was at one of
these places Paul made his acquaint-
ance. More is written about his
mother, Eunice, and his grandmother
Lois, than about his father. In 2
Tim- 1-5, we read of the character of
these two women, that their Chris-
tian piety was of a high order and
that they had given young Timothy
careful training, instructing him in
the holy scriptures.
His mother was a Jewess, married
to a Greek, but the law against such
a marriage was not very strictly en-
forced by the Jews who lived in the
midst of heathen nations. The fath-
er was evidently not unfriendly to
the Jewish religion, as he had not
hindered the mother seeing to the re-
ligious education of their son. (2
Tim. 3:15. "From a child thou hast
known the holy scriptures." He was
evidently quite a young man when
Paul met him first, about A.D., 52,
for in writing to' Timothy (1' Tim.
4:12) he says: "Let no man despise
thy youth." It is known too that he
was at this time a convert to the
Christian religion as was also his
mother (Acts 16:L) The gospel had
been preached some six or seven
years before this by Paul and Barna-
bas in Lystra and Iconium. Timothy
had come under the notice of the
Christians there and was "well re-
ported" by them to Paul when he
was there the second time. Paul
war drawn to Timothy, as he was to
all likely young men, with the a-
vowed object of making them not only
disciples but ministers. We gather
that some of the things that led
Paul to induce Timothy to become
his co -laborer and travelling com-
panion were: (I) his youth; (2) his
knowledge of the Scriptures; (3) his
talents. (4) his popularity among
the church members; (5th) his amia-
bility of temper. In Acts 16:3 we
see how Paul chose him as his per-
sonal helper and, in order to satisfy
the prejudices of the Jews, and to
meet any possible objections to his
being called to fill the office of a min-
ister, Paul circumcised him and for-
mally set him apart by the laying on
of hands. (1 Tim. 4:14).
Paul and Silas and now Timothy
proceeded on their journey establish-
ing Lite churches and adding to them
daily such as should be saved. In
the course of time, they, in answer
to an invitation given by a man of
Macedonia seen in a vision by Paul,
reached Philippi. In this city after
a time Paul and Silas were put in
prison, but no mention is made of
like treatment being meted out to
Timothy and Luke, who was now of
the company also. On being releas-
ed they got as far as Berea from
which place Paul proceeded alone to
Athens, where he waited some time
until joined by the others. He com-
missioned Timothy to go alone back
to Thessalonica to visit and comfort
the church there: "And sent Tim-
otheus, our brother, and minister of
God, and our fellow -laborer in the
Gospel of Christ, to establish you,
and to comfort you concerning your
faith" (1 Thess. 3:2). This action
spoke well for the progress made in
the life and work of the ministry
thus far by young Timothy. Then
later on his growth in doctrine was
acknowledged by Paul, for he addres-
sed him as "my son in the faith" and
besought him to stay on at Ephesus
when he went into Macedonia again.
He wished him to see that the Chris-
tians of Ephesus ',teach no other
doctrine, neither give heed to fables
and endless genealogies, which min-
ister questions, rather than godly
edifying which is in faith" (1 Tim.
1:3-4). He had been at this time
some six nr seven years sitting at
the feet of Paul. The later events
of Timothy's life are less known.
There seems to be no mention of his
being with Paul the two years he
was in prison at. Ceaarea. It is cer-
tain though that he was with him in
Rome when he wrote his epistles to
the Philippians and Colossians and
to Philemon, for in each case he
couples the name of Timothy with
his own in the first verse of each
epistle. During Paul's second im-
prisonment at Rome he wrote urging
Timothy to come to Rome, "Do thy
diligence to come before winter."
There were certain, things he espe-
cially wanted and charged Timothy
to take with him: "The cloak that
I left at Throes with Carpus, when
Restored to Health By Taking
" toit-a-fixes'
Made of Fruit Juices :and Tonics:
The most convincing proof of the
true worth of " Frult•a-tives" as a ,
medicine for women is found in the
letters wrttiin by them to "Fruit-a-
tives". For Instance:
"I suffered with all the symptoms
of female trouble, pains low down
in the back and sides, constipation
and constant headache. A doctor
advised an operation. ' I started
taking "Fruit-a-tives" and this fruit
medicine completely relieved me of
all my misery".

thou comest, ing with thee, and
the books, but t-pecially the parch-
ments (2 Tim. 4 : 13). If Timothy
mule his jouris y it is quite probably
he witnessed l'aul's martyrdom.
The friendship which sprang up be-
tween these twit was frequently re-
ferred to in warm terms by Paul,
even using th• endearing term of
"beloved son," „di expressing a long-
ing desire to -ee him, and even re-
ferring to the tears which Timothy
shed on one „elusion when leaving
him.
There is nes authentic record of
Timothy's later life, but tradition
says he became "Bishop of Ephesus,"
that he died there and was buried
there, but that afterwards his bones
were taken to Constantinople. Of
this we are sure that his early train-
ing at his mbther's knee had much to
do with his subsequent excellent
character and his eminent Christian
life.
OPPORTUNITY AND RETRENCH.
MENT
(By Dr. Kenneth A. Baird)
It is true to -day as it was not five
years ago,—even more true than two
years ago—that the people are wil-
ling, and in many cases anxious to
hear the Gospel.
One of our veteran missionaries
returned from furlough this year,
and was surprised at the change for
the better even since he went\ home,
One of our ordained missionaries
has a tent and a group pf Chinese
evangelists at work in a district
where there are about 8,000,000 peo-
ple living in various cities and about
2,000 villa-ges. In a good many of
these there ape little groups of Chris-
tians who invited him to send some-
one to instruct them more fully and
to preach to their friends.
Whether invited or not, there are
but few villages where the evange-
lists cannot preach to a full tent ev-
ery night for a week to an audience
that is orderly and willing to learn
of the doctrine.
This part of the field of North Ho -
nen would scarce be fully occupied
with five foreign workers and ten
tents with a group of Chinese evan-
gelists to preach in each tent; and it
would take such an increased staff
five or ten years to preach the Gos-
pel in each village one week.
e • *
Two years ago there were eighteen
foreign missionaries engaged in ev-
angelistic work in North Bonen. In I
view of the increasing opportunity
to win Chinese to accept Jesus as
their Lord and Saviour, it was felt
the missionaries were very conserva-
tive in asking for sixteen more evan-
gelists in the next five years.
To -day there is one new evangelis-
tic worker at language study, and
two of the former workers are no
longer with the Mission.
It is a most tremendous and awe-
inspiring thing to face a dead ripe
harvest of human souls, and observe
the number of reapers decreasing
where it ought to innlrepae, ,.-
Ourfathera prayed that the non .
Christian lands might open to wel-.,

their prayers—and ours --and we are

ROCKEFELLER, GREATEST OF
ALL PHILANTHROPISTS
In twenty years the Rockefeller en-
dowed philanthropic funds have paid
out' or pledged (with cash in hand to
fulfill the pledges) an aggregate of
$186,882,674. This fact is brought
out in connection with the recent is-
suing of the first report of the Laura
Spelman Rockefeller Memorial. The
capital contained in the Rockefeller
trust funds for philanthropy is to -day
$383,278,041, including an estimated
$15,000,000 for the Rockefeller In-
stitute for Medical Research. The
Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memor-
ial is shown, in its report, to have
distributed $9,361,871 from its
founding, four years ago, down 'to
the end of 1922, The Rockefeller
Foundation has disbursed $76,757,-
040 in its ten years of existence. The
total amount of gifts of the third
big Rockefeller donating organiza-
tion, the General Education Board,
I is $97,216,774 in payments or pledges.
In Memory of His Wife.
Chronologically, the Laura Spel-
man Rockefeller Memorial is the
last of the four important Rocke-
feller funds. Its purposes are chari-
table and philanthropic. The recent
summary of its work, covering the
period up to December 31st, 1922,
showed that the total income to
that date was $13,005,048.85. Ar ad-
dition to the actual distribution of
$9,361,871.12, the memorial prom-
ised $3,496,888.66, to be paid on the
fulfillment of conditions. After the
deduction of $43,801.81 for adminis-
trative expenses, there' was a mar-
gin of .income over outgo to the ex-
tent of $712,427.25: As in all the
Rockefeller funis, the directors
have the privilege of spending the
principal as well as the interest.
Each of the Rockefeller funds is op-
erated independently. These bene-
factions represent a total investment
of approximately four-fifths of the
$500,000 000 which John D. Rocke-
feller put into charitable and philan-
thropic work up to 1921. According
to official figures down to date, the
principal represented in the Laura
Spelman Rockefeller Memorial is
$73,875,457.67. The principal of the
General Education Board is $129,-
197,960. The principal of the Rocke-
feller Foundation was $182,704,624,
but from this principal $17,500,000
has been given, in addition to gifts
from interest, the residue principal
being $165,204,624.
The General Education Board's
last report for the year ending June
30th, 1922, showed that from its
foundation its appropriations of $53,-
469,022 to 297 educational institu-
tions required the beneficiaries to
raise $190,137,914 .more for the
cause of education. These were
general endowments, aside from spe-
cial gifts to schools of education and
medicine. In the year covered by
the report the appropriations from
the general and teachers' salary
funds were $5,124,083, given to
sixty-five institutions, which agreed
to raise $9,981,667 more. A twenty-
year review shows that the board
has paid $44,772,573 besides ap-
propriating $62,444,200 more to be
paid as conditions are filled, an ag-
gregate of $97,216,773. The purpose
of the Rockefeller Foundation is
"to promote the well-being of man-
kind throughout the world," and a
map of its activities covers both
hemispheres. Its work has become
largely medical and its subsidiary
departments include the Interna-
tional Health Board, the China
Medical Board and the Division of
Medical Education,
No announcement has ever been
made of the size of the fund which
created the Rockefeller Institute for
Medical Research, but in the 1920-21
edition of Who's Who in America,
material for which is generally sup-
plied by the subjects of the bio-
graphical sketches, the institute's en-
dowment is mentioned as $15,000,000.
Mr. Rockefeller's itemized gifts, ac-
cording to the same authority, in-
clude an original fund of $43,000,-
000 for the General Education Board,
supplemented by $32,000,000 in 1907;
$125,000,000 to the Rockefeller Foun-
dation, and $23,000,000 to the Uni-
versity of Chicago. The donated
fund, plus interest, does not always
represent the working fund of a big
benefaction. The General Education
Board, for instance, received an addi-
tional $50,000,000 from Mr. Rocke-
feller in 1919, to be used in co-opera-
tion with colleges for the increase of
teachers' salaries. The gift was in
securities and the security market
slumped. As a result,`, the board,
adopted $40,000,000 as its working
base valuation of the $50,000,000
gift.
A study of its work for 1922 alone
shows the endowment of medical
chairs in China, a promise of
$1,128,000 for a college of medicine
in Iowa, contributions to medical
schools in Canada, Brazil and Siam;
a survey of medical schools in Aus-
tria, Czechoslovakia, Germany, Hun-
gary, Poland and Switzerland; the
despatch of visiting physicians of
eminence to various countries, in-
cluding Salvador and the Philip-
pines; a visit to the United States
by a Strasbourg commission, emerg-
ency aid to the Pasteur Institute
of Paris and many other European
institutions, the contribution of
$2,000,000 toward a school of hy-
giene in London, co-operation with
American States, counties and towns
and similar field work in Porto Rico,
Nicaragua, Brazil, Palestine, Aus-
tralia and the Philippines; support
to medical divisions of the League
of Nations, the provision of fellow-
ships for students in twenty-three
countries and aid to the public
health administration of various na-
tions. Mr. Rockefeller's initial en-
dowment to the Foundation was
$100,000,000 and his total -gifts have
beep $182,704,624.
