The Clinton New Era, 1911-12-21, Page 18'm MUM KOOVK) «HX THURSDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1811 r‘> Sarnia, Ont., Feb, 5th, 1910. •‘I have been a sufferer for the past with Constipation, Indigestion and Catarrh of the Stomach. I tried many remedies and many doctors but derived no benefit whatever. Finally, I read an advertisement of ‘Fruit-a-tives’. I decided to give ‘ Fruit-a-tives ’ a trial and found they did exactly what was claimed for them. I have now taken ‘Fruit-a-tives’ for some months and find that they are the only remedy that does me good, J have recommended ‘Fruit-a-tives’ to a great many of my friends and I cannot praise these fruit tablets too highly” PAUL J. JONES To Lock Out’160,000 Men. Manchester, Entr., Dec. 23.—The committee pf the Lancashire Cotton Spinners and Manufacturers’ Associa­ tions, at a meeting yesterday after­ noon, decided to lock out the whole of the workers in the mills belonging to members of the federation, begin­ ning on Dec. 27. The lockout is a protest against the attempts of trades unionists to force weavers not belonging to the unions to join their ranks. No fewer than 160,000 operatives are involved. ' Underbid Cement Company. Winnipeg, Dec. 23.—In spite of the high duty on cement an American firm, the Lehigh. Cement Co., under­ bid the Canada Cement Co. for the city of Winnipeg’s 25,000-barre’l order for spring delivery. The successful bid was 71,43, cents per cwt., includ­ ing bags, against the 72.65 cents of the Canada company, and represents a saving of four cents per barrel over the price paid this year by the city. fc Brse’s talite Prescription Is tko bcjK of nil mcrIUncs for the cure of diseases, disorders and wealsnstbcs peculiar to women.

MacEwen, Mount Tryon, P.E.I., writes:—“For more than a year I suffered with all the terrible pains of indigestion, and my life was one of the greatest misery; It did not seem to make any difference whether I ate or not, the pains were always there, accompanied by a severe bloating and belching of wind. I did not even get relief at night, and sometimes hardly got a bit of sleep. In my misery I tried many remedies said to cure indigestion, but they did me not one particle of good, and I fully expected I would always be afflicted in this way. At this time my brother came home on a visit and urged me to try Milburn’s Laxa-Liver Pills, and got me. a few vials’. By the time I had taken one vial I began to improve, and could eat with some relish. I was greatly cheered, and con­ tinued taking the pills until all traces, of the trouble had disappeared, and I could once more eat all kinds of food without the slightest inconvenience. I am so fully convinced of their virtue as a family medicine, I have no hesitation in recom­ mending them.” .

Text of the Lesson, Mai. ill, 1 to iv, 3 (Instead of Review)—Memory Verses, iii, 16, 17—Golden Text, Mai. iii, 7. Commentary Prepared by Rev. D; M. Stearns. Although a portion of this prophecy nas been assigned as our lesson, the lesson suggests a study of the whole prophecy. The words “my messenger” of iii, 1, are just a translation of the word “Malachi” of 1, 1, and through the messenger we learn "the burden of the word of the Lord," which, is, “I have loved you” (1, 2). We are reminded of Deiit. vii, 6-8, where the only reason given why the Lord chose them for a special people unto Himself is “because the Lord loved you." Compare Jer. xxxi, 3; John iii, 16; Xiii, 1; xv, 9; I John ill, 16. Who is this that so loves unlovely people? Even He who says: “I am a great King. My name shall be great among the nations. Lord. I change not” (1, 11, 14; iii, 6). What love? ... sage, lay it to heart and give glory-to His name, walking with Him in peace and equity,‘even as Levi did (li, 2, 5, 6), bringing in all the tithes and proving Him as ready to pour upon them more blessing than they could receive (ill, 10), for He is able to do exceeding abundantly above ali we ask or think (Eph. iii, 20). How did they requite such love? They despised His name by offering polluted bread upon His al­ tar, by offering the blind, the lame and the sick for sacrifice; by offering to the Lord what they would not offer their earthly ruler and by calling all their so called service a weariness (i, 6-8, 12, 13). They wearied the Lord with their words, saying, “Every one that doeth evil Is good in the sight of the Lord, and he dollghteth in them”, (11, 17). They robbed the Lord of hosts in tithes and offerings and yet said, “Wherein have we robbed thee?” They said, “It 13 vain to serve .God, and What profit la it that wo have kept His ordinance and walked mournfully be­ fore Him?” They called the proud happy and set up those who wrought wickedness (iii, 8,13-15). • t Ypt Ho sfildt “Rotaru unto Me. . I am the does He ask in return for such Simply that they hear His mes- I will return unto you. 1 will rebuke the devourer, and all nations shall call you blessed, for ye shall be a delight­ some land, saith the Lord of hosts” (Hi, 7,. 12). He is the same as when He pleaded with them before the captiv­ ity, saying, “O Israel, thou hast de­ stroyed thyself, but in. Me is thine help,” ‘‘O Israel, return unto the Lord thy God, for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity”<(Hos. xiii, 0; xiv, 1). “Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the Lortl, ♦ ♦ ♦ only acknowledge thine In­ iquity. ♦ * * Turn, O backsliding children, •' ? ♦ for I am married unto you” (Jer. Hi, 12-14). In the midst of all the unbelief there was, as there always has been and will be, a faithful remnant referred to in 1H, 16, “Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to mother, and the Lord hearkened and heard it, and. a book of remembrance was written before Him; for them that feared the Lord, and;,. , x. that thought upon His name.” I have ; sn,. quoted the whole verse, for it seems so marvelous that God should keep a special record of those who even think upon Him. Many have been comfort­ ed by this blessed assurance. Then see how He speaks of them in verse 17, “My jewels,” or, as in the margin, and the following passages, “Special treasure" .(Ex. xix, 5; Ts. cxxxv, 4; Deut. vii, G; xiv, 2, xxvi, 18). Compare I Pet 11, 9; John xvii, 23; Tit li, *14,’ re­ vised version. The return of verse 18 is that which is more fully described in chapter iv and referred to in Matt xxv, 31; Col. iii, 4; II Thess. i, 7-10; Rev. xix, 11; Ps. 1, 1-6. It is the com­ ing of Christ with His saints of Zech, xiv, 5; I Thess. iii, 13, and the formey passages just quoted when with His redeemed ones He",will execute His judgments on the ungodly and show mercy to His land and His people. It will be the day of vengeance upon His enemies and the time of redemption for Israel (Isa. xxxiv, 8; xxxv, 4; lxiii, 4). When He shall come as the Sun of Righteousness (xiv, 2) then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun (Matt xili, 4) and as the brightness of the firmament (Dan. xli, 3). There will be, however, an event to precede that which is not mentioned in the Old Testament, the 'flrat stage of His re­ turn, His welcome to His elect church out of all nations in the air when He shall be to them as the morning star, which is always seen before the sun rising (Rev. xxii, 16; ii, 26-28). It is after the removal of the church (I Thess, iv, 16-18; I Cor. xv, 51, 52; Rev., iv and v) that the great and dreadful day of the Lord, so often mentioned in the prophets and fully described in Rev. vl to xviii, shall come on the earth. Then shall Israel be purified, according to iii, 2; 3; iv, 5,. 6; Zech, xiii, 8,. 9. John the Baptist, who came In the spirit .and power of Elijah to herald the first coining of Christ, was the messenger* of chapter iii, 1, and the voice of Isa. xl, >3, but the real Elijah will be the herald of Christ’s second coming in glory judge the. nations and sot tip His kingdom with redeemed Israel as the center in their owfl land and Jerusalem the throne of the Lord (Isa. lx, 21; .Ter. iii, 17). It was after. John the Baptist had been beheaded .that the Lord Jesus saidj “Elijah truly shall 'first come and rej store all things.” +ne Biratfora license reduction uy- law, which proposes to limit the num­ ber of tavern licenses to ten, a reduc­ tion of five, and to keep the number of shop licenses at two, is causing a hard fight.

They are short-lived and require re­ placing every few years—-not to mention continual patching to keep them in repair. The btjst of wood cannot withstand, for long, constant dampness and soaking. Its tendency to rapid decay soon shows itself in leaks and stagnant pools of water around trough. Contrast With this the durability, cleanliness and well-ordered appearance of Concrete. The dampness which destroys lumber only intensifies the strength and hardness of Concrete. You can impair a wooden trough with comparatively little use; but it takes a powerful explosive to put a Concrete water tank out of business. Which is your choice—expense-producing Wood, or money-saving Concrete? We’d be glad to send a copy of our book, “What the Farmer Can Do With Concrete,”—Free—:if you’ll ask for it. It tells the many uses of Concrete in plain, simple language—tells how to make Barns .
