I would go for two or three days

I chanced to read about ,'Fruit-a-tives',
in one of our local papers, and
began their use about four months

from Headaches, my bowels have

Experiences told by Barton people,
Those who have had weak kidneys,
Who used Doan's. Kidnev Pills.
Who found the remedy effective,
Such statements prove merit.
You might doubt an utter stranger.
You must believe . Barton people.
Here's Barton proof. Verify it.

You'll find why Barton folks be

Noah. Brooks, High street, Barton,
says: "I think Doan's Kidney Pills
are very - good. I used them several
years ago when ray kidneys were in
a bad fix. Mornings my back and
kidneys ached awfully and during the
day when I stooped, the pains in my
back were unbearable. My kidneys
were very weak and the secretions
were painful in passage. I heard of
Doan's Kidney Pills and got a, few
boxes at the E. W. Barron Co.; and
they fixed me up in a short time. I
am glad to recommend the old relia
ble Doan's Kidney Pills."

The Bible in the Home
Sunday School Lesson for May 1,
. 1921
Scripture, Deut. 6:4-9; Prov. 3: 13
18: Luke 2:40-52 -
By Eev. E. . F. Davison, Derby Vtl
Within this ample volume lies
The mystery of mysteries.
Happiest they of human race
To whom their God has given grace
To read, to fear, to hope, to pray,
To lift the' latch and force the way.
And better had they never been born
That read to doubt, or read to scorn
The missing link in the training of
children today is theBible in the home.
It has been cast out - of the public
school in many places. We have it
still in the pulpit, but in many Sunday
schools it has been supplanted by "les
son leaves" and so-called "lesson
helps," and in vast numbers of homes
it is a sealed book. While in a good
many homes is still is to be seen on the
parlor tabe; gilt-edged, turkey-bound,
double clasped, a piece of .ornamental
funiture merely, too ponderous to use
and too rarely toched to disturb the
dust on the covers, it is of no earthly
use to the inhabitants of the home.
THE BIBLE TO BE USED
The Bible in the home should be "in
constant use, the Bible open, the Bible
read, the Bible every day, the Bible
year in and year out,the Bible in health
and in sickness, the Bible in, prosper
ity as well as in adversity,, the Bible
for the parents, theBible for the child
ren, the Bible, for the visitor a hope
anchor for the soul, a bow of promise
against every dark sky, an inexhaust
able source of strength, a fresh and
fragrant wisdom and unfailing guide
and inspiration of the soul.
THE BIBLE SHARPENS WITS
The author of Deuteronomy did
not leave - it a v- mater of individual
chpice concerning the use of the Bible.
He declared that it must be made the
text book for family training of chil
dren. Jrie declares tnat "parents must
teach "these words" diligently to their
children. Matthew Henry says
that ' the original verb means
to whet or sharpens. "As in
whetting a knife, it - is turned first
on this side, then of that. Be care
ful and exact in teaching thy child
ren; and aim, as by whetting, to
sharpen them, and put an edge on
them." No listless, hit or miss, read
ing of the Scriptures will do that. The
Bible is a sword, it ought to have a
razor edge. The Bible is an arrow,
it ought to have a sharp point. The
author of Deuteronomy knew that the
character of the child is formed for
good or bad before it reaches the 'teen
age.' The statistics of crime show
that criminals in most - cases start
upon their careers before they are
twelve years old. And the vast major
ity of those who come into the church
upon profession of faith do so before
they are 20 years old.
Secular education is right and the
public school system is one of the cor
ner, stones of the republic, which,
please God, shall never be removed.
But if religious education does not su
percede, and modify, and balance, and
control secular education, the mental
equipment of the individual is lop
sided and shallow.; : v 'f-
RELIGIOUS EDUCATION
' v. NECESSARY
As Dr.. Guthrie puts it: A man may
know all about the rocks, and his
heart may remain as hard as granite ;
he may know all about the winds and
be the sport of passions as turbulent
ana" fierce as they; he may know all
about the stars, and his fate be as the
meteor's that blazes for a little while.
land is then lost quenched in eternal
night ; he may know all about the sea,
and his soul resemble rts troubled
waters, which cannot rest, but throw
up mire and .dirt; he may know how
to rule the spirit of the elements, and
not know how to rule his own; he
may 'know all, in short, man's genius
has discovered or his skill invented,
but, if he does not know God, and
Jesus Christ, what will all his know
ledge avail? On the other hand a
great preacher once said, and said it
advisedly; If I could send my boy four
years to -the University or give him
four years of systematic wholesome
Bible study, I believe he would come
out of the four years Bible study bet
ter fitted to meet life's problem than
from the University without the Bible.
Of course the ideals education would
be the University and the Bible study
also, but in too many instances a col
lege course turns out infidels instead
of great believers. And here is where
the Bible in the home gets its 'impor
tance. It takes time by the forelock.
It preempts the soil of the soul. It
forecloses the case for all the future.
It garrisons the fortress in advance.
It provides the weapons of defence
long before they are needed. In time
of peace, it prepares for war. It
puts the sword of the Spirit into the
soulVarmory. It places the helmet of
salvation over the intellect to protect
the mind against the suggestions and
doubts of the seminary. And it pro
vides the shield of faith whereby the
imperiled one may quench all the
fiery darts of the devil.
THE BIBLE, FASCINATING
The Bible is the children's Picture
book, and no book that was ever writ
ten is so full of fascinating stories.
How poorly .furnished is that child's
mind who does not -know Joseph, and
Moses, and Esther and Ruth and
David and Jonah, and Daniel. What
a vacancy in the mental furnishings
of that child who cannot repeat the
23rd Psalm, and the Ten Command
ments, and the 1st chapater 'of John,
and the Beatitudes, and Paul's Immor
tal chapter of love, and the incompara
ble chapter on the resurrection. What
a loss in soul, staff is experienced when
the individual is unfamiar with the
sermon on the Mount, aAd the majes
ty of the book , of Job,, and the fath
omless wisdom of the 'book of Proverbs
and the apdlcalyptic vision of unut
terable glory, which John saw at Pat
mos.. The secular school will not pro
vide that education, the Sunday school
is not equal to the task of securing
that information. The home is the
divinely ordained place for the incul
cation of this knowledge, the most
important of all education. ,
THEBIBLE A STEADYING FORCE
That parent makes a vast mistake
who sees to it that the child is stu
di6us in the public school, and neglects
to inspire him . with a love for the
book. Men and women and children
do sometimes braek through all rest
traint, and run elf into wild prodigal
ways; but it Will not be an easy thing
nor will it be a common thing to be
come recreant to virtue and sink down ;
into rioting and crime if the home
in which one has been brought up, is
saturated with the spirit of the Bible.
Give the book the place it ought to
occupy in the home. Enthrone it in
the place of power. Let not the daily
newspaper nor the popular magazine
nor the "best seller" of the standard
author come between the child and the
C. H. Spurgeon put it this way in a
sermon of "The Talking Book"; Oh,
for the Berean spirit back again, to
search the Scriptures fvhether -these
things be so I-would like to see a huge
pile of all the books, good and bad
that were ever written, prayer books,
and sermons, and hymn-books, and
all, smoking like Sodom of old, if the
reading of these books keeps you away
from the reading of the Bible ; for. a
ton weight of human literature is not
worth an ounce of Scripture; one
single drop of the essential tincture
of the word of God is better than a
sea full of our commentings and ser-
monisings, and the like. The wordT
the simple pure, infallible word of
God, we must ilive upon it if we are1
to become strong against error, and
tenacious of truth.

the more it wastes, not only in food and patience but in fuel. Saving a few pounds
of coal each day means hundreds of pounds in a year. A Modern Glenwoo.d gives
