She found Kruschen. Read how it helped her :— "I have suffered terribly for a very long time with rheumatoid arthritis. The pain I've suffered I cannot explain to you ! I commenced taking Krusehen six months ago, following dire<•tiuns, and I am thankful to say in less than a week I Was able to get a night's rest and sleep. That warsomething I had not had for a very long time. My joints seemed completely locked and f could not turn in bed for pain. Now rm able to sleep well, turn with ease, and get about fine, and my joints seem to be quite different. It was one day when I was reading in :the newspaper about Kruschen that I decided to try it. And now I shall never be without it. I consider Kruschen is a vayy wonderful discovery."—Mrs. E. L. The system of the rheumatic subject is a pruducer'lof that dangerous body poison known as uric acid, which is composed of knife -edged crystals. It is bred in accumulated waste matter which the organs of elimination have failed to expel. Kruschen is a powerful solvent of these Hint -hard crystals. It swiftly dulls their shurp edges, then fleshes then out of the system. Youi• pains ease ; swellings subside ; knotted joints become loose. - Better still, Iiruschen eliminates the root cause of the evil. Taken regularly, it keeps your liver and kidneys in perfect tune, so that these eliminating organs free your inside from all poison - breeding waste products. Krusehen Salts is obtainable at all Drug Stores at 45c. and 75e. per bottle. { SUNDAY AFTERNOON (By Isabel Hamilton, •Goderich, Ont.)

The second epistle to Timothy was written by Paul when in prison for the second time in Rome in the reign of Nero. In this fourth chapter Paul exhorts Timothy to be careful and diligent to do his duty; he informs him that he knows his death is not far off and urges him to come to him as speedily as possible, bringing with him Mark and also certain articles he wanted brought from Troas where he had left them. In closing he warns h�txn against a certain i div1 ual who haa treated bine badly teat assured hem of the nearness of the Lord. Verses 5,8.. St Chxysostom, a famous Biblical scholar and writer of the" fourth century, tells us that this passage was for a long time a souree of perplexity to him. "Often," he says, "when I have taken the Epistle into my hands and have considered this passage, I have been at a loss to understand why Paul here speaks so loftily: "I have fought the good fight." But now .by the grace of God I seem to have found it out. For what purpose then does he speak thus? He writes to console the des- pondency of his disciple; and he there- fore bids him be of good cheer, since he was going to his crown, having finished all his work and obtained a glorious end. , Thou oughtest to re- joice, he says; not to grieve. But besides wishing to console Tim- othy for the bereavement which was impending, St. Paul also wished to encourage him, to stimulate him to greater exertion and to a larger mea- sure of courage: "But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry," It is as if he wrote: "My fighting is over; therefore do you fight more bravely. My course is finished; therefore do you run more perseveringly. The crown which righteousness wins is waiting now for me; so strive that such a crown may await you also." There is more in this passage than the desire to com- fort and encourage Timothy. There is also the ecstatic joy of the great apostle, as with the eye of faith he looks back over the work which he has been enabled to perform, and bal- ances the cost of it against the great reward. Verses 10-16: Looked at with hu- man eyes the Apostle's life at that. moment was a failure. From the world's point of view he had given up much and gained little, beyond trouble and disgrace. He had given up a dis- tinguished position in the Jewish church' in order to become the best hated man among that people of pas- sionate hatreds, while his efforts on behalf of the Gentiles had ended for a third time in confinement in prison, from which, as he saw clearly, noth- ing but death was likely to release him. We see how at one time he is dis- tressed over the desertion of friends; deeply depressed at one moment and then again he becomes triumphant cyr and exulting (17 and 18). It is not that he does not perceive, or cannot feel, the difficulties and sorrows of his position. Still less does he wish to dissemble either to himself or others the sufferings which he has to endure. He is no Stoic. He measures the trou- bles of time by the glories of eternity and is calm and undisturbed. Since Paul's day multitudes of men under the utmost variety of condi- tions, whether of personal equipment or of external circumstances, have made trial of Christianity, and have found it satisfying. It can stand the wear and tear of life; it can not only fortify but console; and it can rob even death of its sting and the grave of its victory by a sure and certain hope of the crown of 'righteousness, which the righteous judge prepares for all those who love, and have long loved, His appearing. — Condensed from the Expositor's Bible. WORLD MISSIONS The Repeating Decimal of Grace. In the life of the Chinese St. Fran- cis, Brother M!aa, by G. Campbell Brown, which was reviewed in the De- cember magazine, there is a pregnant little phrase which has haunted us since the reading of it. Speaking of the conversion of Mao the author writes: "He had become one in that great series of indwelt souls which reveals the Christ to men—the repeat - r Let Your Dollars Serve Canada ...with Profit toYaurself CANADA is inviting you to- day to lend her your money by buying National Service Loan Bonds.

The floly One, who li"re,d of old in Galilee, had come to walk the streets and villages of Chuanchew in the person of this lowly working man" The repeating decimal of grace! Very wonderfully that brings home to us the timelessness of God's purposes; how, from age to age His finger touches whom He chooses to lead in any crusade against the evil of the times, and thus the decimal is related as of old. Oftentimes, as in the case of Mao, it is in an obscure village lacking any contact with the outside world, save that afforded by the missionary. And yet to read of lives such as his, brings .is again to the age of miracles—it is like opening a new book of Acts and reading, in the same simple diction, the story of the power of the risen Jesus in the hearts of His followers. Su it is when we open a book contain- ing the simple annals of modern day saints—there is an unworldliness --a breath of the unseen, and the repeat- ing decimal of grace is again demon- strated before us. An old man in the parish where henry Drummond ministered as a young man, lay ill unto death. 'Drum- mond had called upon him one day, end found him close to the gates. Af- ter lingering with him for a time he went home, but was hardly there when the wife called upon him. "0 sir," she said, "come to my husband." "Is he conscious?" asked Drum- mond. "0 no, he'll no ken ye, sir; but I want him just to have a breath o' ye Lifore he goes awa'." Nothing seems to us to better illus- trate God's purpose in the world than the repeating lives of His saints from i'ge to age. Abraham was such a one; Moses and the prophets — each bringing a singular message of warn- ing and uplift to the folk of his own time. So, from year to year, occurs the reincarnation and Christ walks again, as He did of old among the sons of men. One of Kagawa's lat- est utterances is significant of this fact: "I stand for Christ, but if I go with only the words of a prophet that counts for little. I must live the love of Christ. The Pharisees talked of goodness and made many rules, but they did not raise a finger, to lift the burden of the poor I want to bring Christ into the factor- ies and slums of Japan . . Let us be small Christs." 1Surely Kagawa himself is one of the repeating decimals of grace that runs from age to age, and from year to year. We have seen in those with whom we have walked daily the quiet, unobtrusive, but all-pervading sweet- ness of a life hid with Christ in God. Can we repeat the story of the in- dwelling Christ in our own lives in the year just at hand, that the ever - recurring miracle can be passed on from heart to heart? Weary of Jerking Toes Dr. Locke Yearns for Rest In the driving shed clinic; Williams- burg, where thousands wait every month to have their rheumatic ail- ments treated by the doctor who pulls their toes, a Chinese woman suddenly began to dance a fandango. She was the wife of the owner of a large cafe at Iroquois Falls. Every- body laughed at the primitive way she took to show what had happened since she had been carried in from a car a few weeks before, almost a helpless cripple. Four Chinese drove up to Dr. Locke's front door in a shining lim- ousine. For Lip, proprietor of a large restaurant in Brockville and of cafes i in three neighboring towns, had brought an ailing, sad -faced, silent co -patriot. It was rheumatic arm trouble; the tragedy of a good cook who could heat no more omelettes. The statement was reassuring to two hotelkeepers of the district who sus- pected that spies had arrived to plan competition. "How many patients come?" asked. the Brockville Chinese. In disquiet- ing fashion he inquired for the site of the new $100,000 hotel where the arch -mending miracle man in the spring intends to hold next year's clinics in a large room built specially for the purpose. "Five hundred to one thousand patients a day!" Lor Ling laughed like a man who at last has discover- ed a gold mine. Not so the doctor, inside his sur- gery. For a moment, he locked both doors. On the high stool in -front of his swivel chair, he attended to his own feet, instead of those of one of the hundreds of patients who, every week for more than two and a half years, have been coming to have their posterior tibial nerves re- leased by readjustment of the bones of their arches. Dr. Locke leaned :back and stretch- ed out. He plumped his feet on the patients' high stood. 'He was weary weary of the continuous hun- dreds. Outside ,in the driving shed they were standing now around the,; blazing big wood stove, waiting im- patiently for the afternoon mass clinic. "I need a rest," he said, in his characteristically clipped -off fashion. But the door into the house opened. It was Aurlien Weegar, his wife's brawny young servant girl. Once again to -day, she had been forcing back protesting legs and arms into position for the doctor. "Mrs. Locke asks: 'Are you not go- ing to have any lunch?" she urged. By a wave of his hand, he indicated that he would be coming in a min- ute. It has been noticeable that he had beet) telling many people to -day not to come back till the springtime. It was simply a comrhand. For he nev- er makes any explanations. "Do you mean that they won't need any more treatments till spring?" I asked him. "No," he 'said, decisively, "I need a rest . Lots of them, if they came two or three weeks longer, wouldn't need to come back again," he admitted. But, abruptly, he only repeated: 'sI need a rest.' That seemed all that mattered. "I can't keep on see That's al there is abouts it." maHe spoke like a .research man with only enough get= to treat ten out of a thousand patients. {Chinese, French, Americans, Ital. , MILLE WORM PONMERS RELIEVE vas RESTLESS CONDITION BROUGHT ON BY THE PRESENCE OP WORM!, AND RESTORE THE CHILD TO NORMAL HE41LTH. 11/4-4 NO - N® NARCOTICS—PLEASANT AS SUGAR vans, he indicated by a wave towards the clinic. It becomes more and more like a pilgrimage of the nations to the Williamsburg driving shed. To the sleepy little cross-roads village with the silver church towers, six, miles north of Morrisburg, they come in automobiles, wheelchairs and on stretchers. Some walk on crutches. Some help themselves painfully along with the weirdest assortment of sticks perhaps ever collected together, not except- ing Lourdes or the shrine at St. Anne de Beaupre. At street corners they stand in little groups, coming back from the clinics, discussing their ail- ments. ,Some come through the generosity of Mrs. Philip Weston, wealthy bene factress of Pittsfield, Mass. To the doctor w'ho refused to accept more than one dollar a treatment, she now sends those who would find even that a hopeless burden. Scarcely a week passes without the arrival of one or two cripples sent •by her to the Williamsburg boarding houses at the four corners. Thirty trips from Pittsfield already is the "record of William Hanniford, taximan, with Massachusetts patients. "People who couldn't step into the car themselves when I started to bring them, now get in as easy as I do," was part of his story. Excitedly, a lady who had come with him this time, returned from the driving shed circle. "Oh, Mr. Hanna- ford," she exclaimed, s"I'm so happy. For four years I haven't bent down to lace my own shoes, and now I've just done it." "My toes have all straightened out," said another Pittsfield woman, "and this is only my second trip." All summer Miss Kate Buckingham, Chicago multi-millionairess, has been taking treatments. "She doesn't believe in the treat- ments, she says," Dr. Locke frankly admitted, "but she still sends patient after patient, and pays for their board and treatments.' For many elderly people, the doc- tor admitted, he could do little of a permanent character. "Their joints very often are getting old," he ex- plained, "but I think correcting their arches gives them relief from a great deal of pain." More vividly still, Dr. Locke de- scribed the simplicity of his theory. "Most people get fallen arches from walking too soon after flu or tonsil - itis. The large central bone of the foot, the only one to which no mus- cles are attached, slips down between the smaller bones of the arch, whose muscles and ligaments have been weakened by illness. "This big bone, like the roof tree of a house, is pinched by the rafters. I simply put ,.it back in place. When it goes down it presses against the posterior tibial nerve in the instep. My observations lead me to believe that pressure on this nerve causes rheumatism, arthritis, and a host of kindred ailments. The loud click you hear when I twist the toes and the ankle, is just this bone going back into place. After readjustment, we must try to keep it there 'by boots that have proper protection on the inside of the instep." "I don't understand it," he con- fessed further, "but it's amazing the effect that comes also on pernicious anemia when the arches are cor- rected. It's a revelation. I recall one ease whose name I've forgotten, a man from Christie St. Hospital, Toronto. When he came down he couldn't get in and out of the car. When he left, that was easy. He can't come back till spring, because the cold affects him, and there is no proper accommodation down here." Pernicious anemia, Dr. Locke stat- ed, causes fatty degeneration of the spinal cord. "That," he said, "causes paralysis. It is surprising that T. get better results in cases of paralysis connected with pernicious anemia than almost any other type of case that comes here." `Patients have said that you can clear up shaking paralysis?" it was suggested. "We can't cure it," was his verdict. "But we can apparently stay its progress." /"That little girl," the doctor point- ed out the window to a sixteen -year- old young lady in a mauve knitted tam just being wheeled into the driv- ing shed by her mother, "came with terribly twisted legs two days ago. I fixed her arches, and, to -day, straight- ened her knees. They are perfectly straight now. You can't do anything with the knees until you release the nerve by replacing the bones of the arch. Then it is surprising how the knees can be straightened out by force. I think she'll be walking every well in a few days." "She is one of the exceptions. No two cases respond with the same speed. Some come back like a house on fire, while others take months and months. Out in the driving shed later on the happy girl seemed to radiate hope to other twisted sufferers, some so sadly deformed that they could scarce- ly hope for much improvement. "It's only when I get quieted down for a minute that I know better than ever that I need a rest," came the doctor's voice again. "Why don't you just cut loose and go away?" it was suggested. His eyes alone seemed to give the answer. Too many people around the countryside depend upon his ministra- tions. Like a lighthouse for more than twenty years, there was always Dr. Locke at Williamsburg. He brought most of them into the world and still looks after t`Hein. "Why, then, ean't you get some- body to help you?" "SI can't get anybody to do the work," was his answer. "The patients kick, I could have had forty (nen. But the pa- tients won't have anybody e but In Gilhoolyr s shoe store, next door, are the real records of the trek of rheumatic and arthritis patients to Wlillfamsbuirg's four corners. ' 'There, when ler. -Gilhooly sells a pair of `rpirbper" shoes, he sets down tke record for future reference, "They come from - all over the. world," says Mr. rGilhooly. "Here you see is a school teacher from South Africa. Now, she has ordered a pair of snakeskin shoes. Here's another from Paris, France. I re- member that lady. She was in pret- ty poor shape when she came and she left apparently well." To Mr. Gilhooly they tell remark- able stories, "It's the strangest thing, he says. "I've seen bunions go dowrt fifty per cent. in a couple of treat- ments. Patients come and get shoeee Their feet are so swollen they cant scarcely put the new boots on. Thera they have to conte back to change, them, because the swelling has gone down so quickly. I've seen swollen: ankles go down in two or three days - It seems a miracle." The doctor went to lunch. Even this news spread outside in two or three minutes. Ahnost by telepathy these crowds waiting' in the driving shed know every movement of the man, they are fast making into a legend. Outside I met a Toronto lad in his car. "I had arthritis," he said. - "When I came here the first time for - treatments in September, I had it ev- erywhere in my body. It was in my- hands, yhands, arms, legs. I had tried twen- ty-three doctors. I couldn't even get along on crutches. This is my third time down to Williamsburg for per- iods of a week at a time. Now, as you see, I am driving my car again_ My legs were drawn up for three years. Now they are straight again_ I haven't much power in them yet_ t" But the doctor says that will come. 1 couldn't get a glass of water up to. my mouth. Now, as you can see, 1'= can move my hand and arm anywhere.. There is still swelling at the knuckles but that has gone down 80 per cent.' I left Wiliamsburg just as the, doctor was starting his afternoon_ session in the driving shed. Some-, body clapped as he sat down in his, swivel chair to start another after- noon's pulling of toes. The applause spread around the circle. A red. blush on the doctor's shy face wa-. the only reaction. No rest seemed sight.
