Simply trusting Thee, Lord Jesus, I behold Thee as Thou art, And Thy love, so pure, so changeless, Satisfies my heart, Satisfies its deepest longing, Meets, supplies my every need; Compasseth me round with blessings; Thine is love indeed. Jean S. Pigott. PRAYER O God who has commanded us to be perfect as Thou our Father art perfect; put into our hearts, we be- seech Thee, a cor.tinual desire to obey Thy will. Teach us day by day what Thou wouldst have us do, and give graeP and power to fulfil the same. May we never from love of ease de- cline the path which Thou dost ap- pcirt; nor, for. fear of shame, turn from i1; for the sake of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Dean Alford. S. S. LESSON FOR MARCH 2nd Lessen Topic — Jesus Teaching About Himself. Lesson Passage—Matthew 11:2-6, 25-30. Golden Text—Matthew 11:28. "And it came to pass when Jesus had made an end of commanding His twelve disciples, He departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities." He sent His disciples out two and two but He went alone. He made Himself of no reputation, He took upon Him the form of a servant, and He went cut to preach the gospel which He Himself had begin putting in charge of others. News of what Be was doing soon spread abroad throughout the Does.

He who had pointed to Jesus and said, "Behold the Lamb of God, that taketh away the sin of the world," had been in prison for months. What wonder that His mind became clouded and His vision dark- ened and he began to doubt. But he hears strange rumors and at once wants to know the truth. He sent aireetly to Christ. Two of his disci- ples who evidently- had access to his prison were sent to ask Jesus a straight question, "Art thou He that should come, or do we look for an- other?" Jesus sent back an immedi- ate answer though not a direct one. If we want to know if the Bible is true we must read it for ourselves. His- tory records the case of men who,sat down to disprove the Scriptures and who, in order to qualify themselves for their disproof, honestly read them through, and then dipped their pens to write a vindication of the holy re- cords. When these two disciples made their inquiry of Jesus he called their attention to His works. "Go," said He, "and show again those things which ye do hear and see. The blind receive their sight and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them." That was Christ's reply—a statement ,,of facts showing that a man's worshould speak for him; a man's life should be his vindication. Then Jesus added these words, "And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in Me." Thus He encourag- ed the drooping spirit, the doubting heart to trust and be not 'afraid. Verses 25 -30 - The first public mention of God as his Father was made on this occasion. Luke tells us in 10:21 that, "In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit." A great gladness filled his heart that God had revealed to babes that which was hidden from the wise. He esti- mated thus the intellectual character of those men whom He called to be his disciples. In comparison with the teachers of the law they were babes. After this He again gave expression, "All things are delivered unto Me of My Father; and no man knoweth the Son. but the Father." In these are the paternal and filial—the Father know- ing the Son, the Son knowing the Father. Here is an expression of perfect trust and love and we have in the words that follow, assurance that he can share that rest of soul and freedom from anxiety with all who come to him. His child -like spirit being shared by one of the weak ones of the earth is illustrated in the fol- lowing: A gentleman visited a deaf and dumb school and being asked to write something on bhe board wrote, "Why did God make you deaf and dumb, and make me so I could hear and speak?" After a time a small boy rose and walked to the front and wrote under the question, "Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in thy sight." WORLD MISSIONS Power of Christ in India God sent us Jesus Christ, said Bishop Warne, and He is the Gospel. The people, of India have six systems of philosophy which have been devel- oped through many centuries. Being great philosophers themselves, they do not easily fall in love with the philosophies of Christianity, but they do fall in love with the marvelous per- sonality of Jesus Christ. In the old days of mission work, any individual who was ready for it received baptism. After baptism, he went back to his people—an outcaste, ridiculed, persecuted. Now a change is gradually being brought about for when a man or woman desires bap- tism, he is told to go back to his vil- age and there to try to win others to Christ, "Let ups work together," the The Advantage of "Purity" Since Purity is a strong, rich flour with great expanding qualities, use 1 tablespoon less per cup if your cake recipe calls for ordinary pastry or soft wheat flour.

The se - salt, of course, is a lessening of per-, seeution because instead of one Christian in a community, there are many. In the preparation for balm the Lord's Prayer is taught and strangely, affects the hearts of the inquirers. Bishop Warne told of a group that was learning the prayer and where all, were making good progress except one old woman. She came to class each time, but could not be induced to say more than "Our Father who art in heaven." Finally, when she was asked why she would say no more, she smiled and said, "Pastor, what's the necessity? Is not that enough for an old woman like me?" This woman was one of the untouchables —hard to reach, but she found such joy in the fact of "Our Father who art in Heaven" that [she no longer thought of herself as an outcasts, nor as an untouchable, but as a child of God. That old woman represents between 60 and 70 million people in India who are branded by the Hindu religion as untouchables. -;From The Missionary Review of the World. NO MEDICINE LIKE BABY'S OWN TABLETS For Either the Newborn Babe or the Growing Child. There is no other medicine to equal Baby's Own Tablets for little ones—whether it be for the newborn babe or the growing child the Tab- lets always d'o good. They are ab- solutely free from opiates or other harmful drugs and the mother can always feel safe in using them. Concerning the Tablets, Mrs. John Armour, R. R. 1, South Monaghan, Ont., says:—"We have three fine, healthy ,children, to whom when a 2meditine is needed, we have given only Baby's Own Tablets. Tho Tab- lets are the best medicine you can keep in any home where there are young children." Baby's Own Tablets are a mild but thorough laxative which regulate the stomach and bowels; banish constipa- tion and indigestion; break up colds and simple fever and make teething easy. They are sold by medicine dealers or direct by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medi- cine Co., Brockville, Ont. WHOLESALE POISONING IN HUNGARIAN VILLAGE There is proceeding at Szolnok, a town in Tiszazug, Hungary, a trial which is attracting interest through - nut Europe although we 'have seen no mention of it in the press of this continent. If such a trial were being held here the front pages of the news- papers would be full of it. Thirty- six persons have been tried or are being tried for murder. All are wo- men but two. So for the trials of eight have been concluded with the result that two have been acquitted, two sentenced to death, three to im- prisonment for life, and one to 15 years imprisonment, these being the three punismments that. Hungarian law provides for murder. The trials are being heard by three judges, for trial by jury is no longer a feature of Hungarian jurisprudence. The accus- ed persons are for the most part mid- dle aged and uninteresting women of the peasant type; and in nearly all cases their victims were aged or in- valid relatives whom they found it convenient dispose of. The deaths were all brought about by arsenic poison which was secured by soaking the paste off fly -paper. The woman who is supposed to have been mainly responsible for this orgy of slaugh- ter, "Auntie Fazakas," a wrinkled abortionist, committed suicide when she heard the police were about to arrest her. It seems that the paisoning has been going on for some 20 years, and of 50 bodies which were exhumed when the police finally got on the track of the crimes not fewer than 46 were found to contain arsenic. The Fazakas woman, who made a liv- ing as midwife and abortionist, was the first prisoner. She Fame in the neighborhood and Learned if there was an aged or infirm member of the family who was earning nothing and a cause of expense and trouble to the other members. She would then sug, gest that an easy means of getting rid , of the encumbrance was to be found in a certain' "water" which she would sell, the price being about $15. The water was the arsenic solution and she would give directions for its use, Her murderous clients were told that if any questions were asked they were merely to deny any knowl- edge and it would be impossible to prove guilt. The fact that most of the victims of the poisoners were ag- ed or infirm made it possible for their dropping off to excite little attention. In many cases, no doubt, the lives were shortened only by months and if only these( worn-out and unwanted peasants had been removed it may be that the story of the poisonings would never have come to light. But it happened naturally that a person who had found this easy means of ridding herself of some querulous invalid would have it in mind if somebody else with a stronger grip of life could be removed to her bene- fit. For instance there was the case of Juliana Foldvari who is believed to have poisoned first her husband and then the man who lived with her af- ter his death; and Julie Lipka who made away with her bosom crony af- ter the latter had made a will leav- ing her all her little property. Then she found that she would also inherit when her half brother and his wife passed away so Julie speeded then with arsenic. Sudden and unexpect- ed deaths inevitably produced gossip, and in 1924 the authorities dug up a body on the strength of information received in an anonymous letter. But no arsenic was found. Since the present investigation began that let- ter has been examined again and the belief is that it was written byold Aunty 1~"atakas, with the object of throwing dUat in the eyes of the de- • er years o Alamo:ionsnow in Pq . eefct be ,' says Mr. i{.

It was also a protection for the apprentice murderesses whom she was instruct- ing, and gave them confidence that they might proceed without any ser- i•oe}s risk.. What is at first sight the most puz- zling feature of the affair is that there should be a whole community in which poisoning was going on for years, apparently with the knowledge or, connivance of scores or perhaps hundreds of people. The Hungarians are after all civilized. But the dwel- lers in the Tiszazug peninsula have for a long time been cut off from the rest of the nation by a river and a tongue of land which is waterlogged for half the year. No new ideas drift their way. They are so engrossed with the dogged struggle for exist- ence that they have little thought for anything but the material needs r of the day. Inbreeding has lowered their physical, mental and moral stamina. It is true that there has been a school in their midst for 100 years, but nev- ertheless their minds have been per- mitted to stagnate. 'In communities where there is no hereditary aristocracy and when such dignitaries g as the mayor, the village school master and other titular lead- ers are of much the same cultural lev- el as the rest of them, it is to the priest or the clergyman that the peo- ple are accustomed to look for guid- ance. But here the pastor of the Re- formed Church to which all the pois- oners belong, is an old man who saw little of his parishioners except when they went to church. There was, therefore, no moral control imposed on them and in these circumstances they fell easily under the spell of Aunty Fazakas, the mid -wife. The prisoners seem to be more animal than +vicious. Many of them appear to have no idea of the enormity of their crimes, especially those who simply removed some sick and com- plaining old grandfather whose appe- tite constituted a domestic problem and who probably was not too reduct- ant to leave a world that had always dealt with him so harshly. Soroe vic- tims were drunkards and public opin- ion seems to have justified their elimination. The facility with which the prisoners will deny, then make confessions, then repudiate the con- fessions and assert absolute innocence is one of the most difficult features with which the judges have to deal. Thereare few witnesses. There are only the bodies Heavily impregnated with arsenic and the stolid women who had an object in impregnating them.

Of course this does not apply to Can- adian birds, but more likely to those of the British Isles and in those parts of Europe where the season is rather more advanced. We suppose that on this day the rooks in England may be seem getting busy with their nests; if so, it is a generally accepted sign that the spring is on the way for the rooks are of all birds the most weatherwise. Other birds will mate and in a fort- night or so may be sitting on frozen eggs. But if the rooks go to nest the danger of extreme frost may he con- sidered past. It seems probable that this habit of the birds, which is re - WEIGHED 163 LBS. --NOW 140 LBS. How one woman lost fat and gained health Many people who are fully aware of the health -giving properties of Kruschen Salts have not yet heard of the wonder- ful effects these Salts have in reducing unhealthy, excess fat. By their gentle action on the liver, kidneys and bowels they urge these organs to throw off the poisonous waste matters, which, if allowed to accumulate, form fatty deposits in the body. Read how this woman lost fat and gained health ;-- " I have taken Kruschen Salts every day for nearly a year, and I have not felt so well for many yearn. My weight has dropped from 163 lbs. to 140 lbs. Ali my acquaintances say how much younger and better I look. I feel bright and well, whereas before I was always nervous and tired." Mrs. B. Try taking Kruschen Salts every morn- ing in a glass of hot water before breakfast. Little by little the unhealthy aeeurnulations of fat will slowly but surely disappear. A new feeling of health and vitality will follow—the years will fall away as your form takes on the slender linen of youth. FREE TRiAL OFFER If you have never tiled• at our azpensa.

It has no, religious siggificance, despite the fact that the name of a holy saint is as- sociated with it. to fact, several saints of this name hiwe been vener- ated on this particular day although for reasons that are obscure to us. It may be that the dates of their births and deaths being obscure the day of the year associated with the name. was chosen as particularly fitting. In ancient Rome February 14tn was a prelude to the more general cele- bration of Easter which marked the anniversary of Spring, the Romans being particularly ingenious in devis- ing excuses for holidays and other days upon work should be eschewed. It was the Lupercalia, the • festival which permitted .every man to de- clare his preference for a girl and every girl to show her affection, with- out an fear that she might be deem- ed forward. The occasion was„one for flirtations as much as for serious avowals, and those who chose each other for their particular valentines were not thereby pledged to matri- mony. Indeed it was customary for the names of the girls to be placed in an urn, out of which the men in turn would draw. The pair thus thrown together were supposed to be probationary lovers and the occasion permitted a freedom that otherwise would be denied. This happy pagan custom was frowned upon when the Christian church began to establish itself. It was only too apparent that the prac- tice would lend itself to revelries if not indeed to immorality and there- fore steps were taken to curb its grosser manifestations. But it was too firmly rooted to be wholly extir- pated, and so the church sought to give it a pious significance by encour- aging the love sick swains to choose saints instead of maids for their [val- entines. This cast a damper upon the occasion and its observance gradually died out except in England where it gradually changed as the years pass- ed. At one time Valentine was an occasion for the exchange of gifts, and the mottoes, love notes, pictures and cartoons 'which remain as the most conspicuous features of Valen- tine Day are survivals of the wrap- pings that contained the gifts as they were passed from hand to hand. In fact the day slipped into the hands of the stationers just as Mother's Day has passed under the benevolent control of the florists. They certain- ly made the most of it and in the nineteenth century some of their pro- ductions were as expensive as oil paintings. Books were widely circu- lated containing appropriate Valen- tine Day sentiments and the exchange of tokens was well nigh universal. Even in the present century these confections reached considerable ariy heights. We quote from a wholesale stationer's description: "Upright ban- ner. Translucent pyralin ,cut and rol- led. Lace frills in semi -circular open- ings set in hearts and profusion of silk rosettes and embossed Ieaves. Richly decorated with hand painted flowers. Opening at sides containing satin hearts surinounded by cupids. Ribbon hanger.” The price was $120 a dozen. The verses which accom- panied these sentimental valentines were in keeping. They were extreme- ly stilted, shy and nauseating. Their rvalue e lay in the fact that the day provided an opening for the timid swain to make a modest disclosure of his passion, and permitted the lady to make a bashful acknowledgment without committing herself. But since the age has become less self- conscious and more adventurous, the sentimental valentine has declined in favor. But it is the comic valentine with which most of us are familiar. These are virulent cartoons and their com- edy, we suspect, was better designed for Iess sophisticated days. The writ- er of this generally is favored with some of them, and if he escapes he supposes that the year's output offers nothing sufficiently 'hideous to seem an appropriate offering. He is gener- ally represented as a pro -Boer. Or one privy to the Belgian massacres and mutilations. These valentines generally lampoon the fashions or fans of the moment, and may be in- teresting to the future historian on this account. 'But generally they are the anonymous weapon with which people vent a hatred that is calcu- lated to wound the person receiving them and at the same time leaving no clue to the ill -wisher. Many a savage blow has been delivered through this medium, although the drawings are usually so crude and the verses so malignant that few people are so sensitive that they could draw a personal afffront from them. Those who are thus stung are advis- ed to console themselves with the thought that there were some St. Valentines who were good old souls and that on this day the birds are supposed to choose their mates. EGYPT BEING RUINED BY NARCOTIC DRUGS There are to -day half a million Egyptians slaves of the drug habit where twenty years ago they were al- most in ignorance that such a thing existed. This is the substance of the report of the Central Narcotics Bur- eau of Egypt to the League of Na. - tions Opium Commission, and is one of the most sensational documents so far filled with that body. It has been prepared by T. W. Russell, an Eng- lishman who is director of the bureau and also head of the Cairo city po- lice, and bas the approval of Mustapha E1 -Naas, Pasha, Prime Minister and Mini ter of the Interior. Wlhen it is said that less than a generation ago the Egyptians were almost in ignor- ance of the drug evil, it should be ex- plained that the ignorance concerned the modern drugs such as heroin and cocaine which are now being used by 500,000 people. The East has always had its drugs which have taken the place of alcoholic liquors. Visions of a voluptuous paradise populated chiefly by houris' have also afforded the Orientals an escape from realities and an anodyne for them. But the old drugs were mild in comparison. Chief among them was hashish, which is .a habit-forming drug, but nothing. like :o to ole in its effects as heroin. lie hashldlt evil, according to Mr. lb; is a local one and an' be handled by the Egyptian au borities then-1sel`ves. It may take a good while to roto it alit, but it is no such prob- lem as that of the `synthetic drugs manufactured in Europe. To rid Egypt of these narcotics the co-operation of Europe is necessary. and the need is urgent. One has only to reflect that one person out of every 28 in Egypt is a drug taddict and that 20 years ago heroin was 'unknown there to realize how swiftly and pow- erfully the habit has established it- self. Egypt. has done what she can to protect herself, but Egypt has not the means and is never likely to have them to stem the tide of. smuggling. It will have to be checked on the E ur- opean side. Another sinister fact is that drug users create other drug us- ers. Nothing is '.commoner than for a drunkard either in his cups or when sober, to •issue the most solemn warn- ings to others not to follow his ex- ample, but drug users just as com- monly tell those who will listen . to them of the delights to 'be found in the use of narcotics. Moreover to be- come a persistent user of alcoholic becerages requires considerable force of character and persistence. Once gained the habit can be broken by any person of average will power. In fact, reformed drunkard area good deal commoner in our civilization than drunkards. But the dope habit is easily acquired. There is no initial distaste or nausea to ` be overcome. Once formed it lasts for life. Dope fiends who completely reform are no more to be expected than former Christian Scientists in the Salvation Army. Until quite lately Switzerland was the source of supply of the wholesale dealers who found their market in Egypt. In the last month there has been a change in the law which will lessen the supply if indeed it does not wholly divert it from unlicensed chan- nels. But until then an unlisted drug called dionyl, a preparation similar: to heroin in its effects, but of a dif- ferent composition so that its manu- facture would come within the law, was freely made and there were no governmental safeguards upon its dis- tribution. Several chemists, knowing the market for their product, confined themselves almost exclusively to the manufacture of dionyl. But compet- ing with them and still in operation, so far as we are aware, is a factory in Alsace which last year produced twice as much heroin as the whole medical profession in the world could find legitimate use for. These pro- ducers were ready to co-operate with the smugglers and made everything easy for them so far as lay in their power. The drugs were nearly all smuggled through at Alexandria and from there passed on to retail ped- dlers who roamed up and down Egypt sowing their moral pestilence. One of the chief distributors, who was later on caught and imprisoned, was an Armenian named Thomas Zakarian. He opened a small shop in a prominent street in Alexandria where he ostensibly sold rugs. In the rear of the premises he kept drugs. For a time he bought his supplies in the Alexandria market but as his business increased, got in touch with the chemists in Switzerland and France and dealt direct. He sold hero- in and dionyl, but for a time his spe- cialty was another deadly drug pro- duced first 'by German chemists and known as morphium benzoylicum. The stuff made in Switzerland or Ger- many was shipped to France where the Armenian took • possession and had little trouble in smuggling it into Egypt. His downfall was brought about because of the jealousy of an agent who had first recommended him to the chemists who made the stuff and who, for a time, was paid a com- mission. When Zakarian too k his trade elsewhere the agent lost his commission and communicated with the police. Through Zakarian the detectives were led to a Dr. [Hiefti, in Zurich, who was making dionyl in unlimited quan- us FI BRVAR z0,110.. WISHE a 1% RyOI'J .

In re- cent months the drug smuggling busi- ness of Egypt is supposed to he int fewer hands, but this does not mean that there is less of it. On the con- trary, so much money has been made and the prospects of making more are so alluring that there has comes into existence a powerful smuggling ring with ample funds at its disposal to bribe officials who will accept bribes and perhaps deal suitably with. occasional informers. It is against this unholy combine that the Leagues of Nations is asked to act. SORE THROAT 18 A COMMON AILMENT WHICH UNLESS CHECKED IN TIME MAY LEAD TO A SERi• MS CONDITION.
