THIS LADY'S
GOOD^ APPETITE
Mrs. Hansen, In a Letter From
Mobile, Tells How She Gained It
Mobile, Ala.—"I suffered for seven
years, with womanly trouble," writes
Mrs. Sigurd Hansen in a letter from
this city. "I felt weak and always had
a headache and was always going to
the doctor. At last I was operated on,
and ,felt better, but soon I had the
same trouble.
My husband asked me to try Cardul.
I felt better after the first bottle, and
now, I have a good appetite and sleep
well. I feel fine, and the doctor tells
me I am looking better than he ever
saw me."
If you are sick and miserable, and
•uffer from any of the pains due to
womanly trouble—try Cardul.
Cardui is successful because it Is
composed of ingredients that have been
found to act curatively on the woman
ly constitution.
For more than fifty years, it has been
used by women of all ages, with great
success. Try it. Your druggist sells it.

THE POWER OF 60D'S WORD
A Famine In the Land—Many Hearts
Crying Out For a Living and True
God.— Faint For Want of Spiritual
Food—Table of Divine Provision Well
Filled—The Bread and the Water of
Life—A Satisfying Portion.
October 11.—To
day Pastor Rus
sell chose for bis
text the words,
"Behold, the days
come, saith the
Lord God, that 1
will send a fam
ine in the land,
not a famine of
bread, nor a thirst
for water, but of
hearing the words
'ASIDE. RUSSEIDI of the Lord."
(Amos 8:11.) He
spoke in part as follows:
Today this prophecy is fulfilled in
our midst! Notwithstanding the fact
that during thy past century Bibles
have been printed and circulated
amongst the people by the million, and
notwithstanding the fact that educa
tion has become so general that rict
and poor, old and young, have the abil
ity to read the Word of God, never
theless we are in the midst of the very
famine which the Prophet specifies. It
seems almost incredible that we should
be famishing now with Bibles in our
homes, when our saintly forefathers
did not famish, although their educa
tion was limited. The secret lies in
the fact that increasing Intelligence on
every hand has awakened our reason
ing faculties along religious lines, and
the result is the gnawing of hunger in
our hearts. Both heart and flesh cry
out for a living and true God—a God
greater than ourselves—more just,
more powerful, more loving. Realising
our own impotency. we feel more and
more our need of the Friend whose
love is closer than a brother's.
Consequently we cannot find in the
Sqriptures the rest, the refreshment
and the comfort which our forefathers
derived therefrom. Consequently the
young men and the purest of heart in
the world are repelled by the religion
of the past They are hungry for the
Truth, thirsty for the refreshment
which they need. Intellectually, many
are looking, wandering, from sea to
sea, desiring the Bread of Life.
Scanning the creeds of all denomina
tions. they find these practically alike
as respects theories of eternal reproba
tion and damnation for all except the
Elect, the saintly few. They grow
faint for want of spiritual food and
drink. They even look to the heathen
jvorld, and examine the Theosophy of
India, the Buddhism of Japan anl the
Confucianism of China, seeking for
some satisfying portion of Truth.
In some respects these are like the
prodigal son—far from home. They
perceive the swinish content with the
husks of business, money, pleasure and
politics but their spiritual longings
cannot be satisfied with the husks
whicli the "swine" eat. Because of
their interest in spiritual things tbey
are thought peculiar. Tbey are mis
understood by their best earthly
friends. In their wanderings along the
highways of science and world-religion
they must surely learn that they will
get ^io satisfaction from those sources.
that mourn," to tell them of the oil of
joy which the Lord is willing to be
stow for their spirit of heaviness and
sorrow for sin. (Isaiah (11:1-3.) As the
Master expressed no reproof of those
engaged in any sort of moral reform,
even asceticism, so it is with us. We
desire to oppose no one wli*, 13 doing
any good work, whether or not he fol
lows with us in every particular. There
are so many engaged in doing jgvll
works, and so few engaged in doing
good, that not one of the latter class
can be spared from the ranks of the
service of righteousness.
The Table of Divine Provision.
Ho, all ye that hunger for Truth,
come ye! There is an abundance for
us all in our Heavenly Father's won
derful provision—in the Bible. De
serting all tbe creeds and traditions of
men. let us gather at our Heavenly
Father's Board as His family, as His heart, in contrast with the ungodly
children. Let us prove the truthful- fear of the error. God says to
As the Master did not give His time
to temperance reform or to social re
form or to political reform, but gave
it to the instruction of the people in the
doctrines of the Word of God, so let us
be intent to follow His example in this
matter, not "teaching for doctrines the
precepts of men," but the Word of
God, which liveth and abideth forever
—expounding to the people the Scrip
tures and assisting them to see the
length and the breadth and height and
depth of their meaning.
The Disciple Not Above His Lord.
Nevertheless, as the religious teach
ers of the Master's day hated Jesus
and His disciples for this cause, "be
cause they taught the people," and as
they persecuted the Master and His
followers because they did not walk
In the beaten paths of their day, so we
may expect that the Scribes, the
Pharisees and the Doctors of the Law
today will be grieved because the peo
ple are taught, because the light of the
knowledge of the glory of God shining
in the face of Jesus Christ Is presented
to the people as an incentive to love
and obedience, instead of the doctrine
of eternal torment.
It matters not that all the educated
ministers today well know, and would
not for a moment deny, their disbelief
In the doctrine of eternal torment, if
cross-questioned. Nevertheless, many
of them bate us and oppose us because
we show the people the true interpre
tations of the Word of God and lift be
fore the eyes of their understanding a
God of Love, just, merciful, righteous
altogether, and fully capable both in
Wisdom and Power to work out all the
glorious designs which He "purposed
in Himself before the foundation of
the world."
(1) They perceive that the teaching
of the doctrines of purgatory and eter
nal torment has not bad a sanctifying
influence upqn mankind in all the six
teen centuries in which these doctrines
have been preached. But they fear
that to deny these doctrines now would
only make a bad matter worse. They
.fear that if the Gospel of the Love of
God and the fact that the Bible does
not teach eternal torment for any were
generally made known, the effect upon
the world would be to increase its
wickedness, to make life and property
less secure and to fill the world wtth
blasphemies still more than. now.
(2) They fear also that a certain
amount of discredit would come to
themselves because, knowing that the
Bible does not teach eternal torment,
according to the Hebrew and Greek
original, they secreted the knowledge
from the people. They fear that this
would forever discredit them with their
hearers. Hence they still lend their in
fluence outwardly to the doctrine of
eternal torture, which they do not be
lieve, and feel angry towards us be
cause we teach the people the tAith
upon the subject, which they know
will bring to them hundreds of ques
tions difficult to answer or to dodge.
Gocf* Love Constrain* Ui.
We ask you, dear fellow Christians.
Were you constrained to become chil
dren of God and to render to the Lord
the homage and obedience of your lives
through fear or through love? We are
not asking you whether you never
have feared but what brought you to
the point of consecrating your life to
God? Surely it was not fear! We are
aware, of course, that there Is a proper,
godly fear, reverence and that the
Scriptures declare it—"The fear [rev
erence] of the Lord is tbe beginning of
wisdom." (Psalm 111:10.) But this is
not the fear of eternal torment, which
tends to drive out love. How could we
love or esteem or truly worship a God
who purposed the eternal torment of
His creatures from before their creft
tion!

The Power of God's Word.
Another case: Several years ago I
met with a Convention of Bible Stu
dents in Chattanooga. Wk'le there, a
gentleman introduced himself, saying
that he w'as from Mississippi and that
he had become deeply interested in our
presentations of the harmony of the
Word of Gcd. He said in substance,
"I will not attempt to tell you how
wicked a man I was before I got your
literature. My dear wife here, an
earnest Methodist, said to me, 'John,
John, you will surely go to Hell!' I
replied to her, 'Mary, I know it! I
know it! And, Mary, I am determined
to deserve all that I get. I am not go
ing to Hell for nothing.'
"One of your tracts came to my desk
in my store. I read it and perceived
that it was different from anything I
had ever understood respecting the
teachings of the Bible for It seemed
more rational and more God-like. I
sent to you for various Bible Students'
Helps. The result is that the Love of
God has Constrained me, has conquer
ed me, in a way that the doctrines of
devilish torment^ could not influence
me. Now I dee'the true teaching of
the Word of God I can honor Him,
worship Him, and take pleasure in lay
ing down my life in His service. I
have made a full consecration of ev
erything I possess.
"For a time I sent you a fifty-dollar
check every month but. Brother Rus
sell, it was in the nature of conscience
money. At that time the most profit
able feature of my store trade was the
sale of liquor to tbe Mississippi ne
groes. As the grace of God more and
more filled my heart to overflowing, It
brought me to see that I must love my
neighbor as myself and do injury to
none, and those checks stopped. I
ceased to deal in liquor, and have de
voted my whole life to the service of
God and of my fellow-men."
Three murderers confined in the Ohio
State Penitentiary had from childhood
been trained in the doctrine of eternal
torment by different denominations
and yet these men had committed mur
der. Under the providence of God,
these men received some of our liter
ature—"STUDIES IN THE SCRIP
TURES"—and were cut to the heart
when they learned of the Love of God,
as expressed in the Divine Plan of the
Ages. This knowledge made such a
change in the hearts and tbe lives of
these three murderers that the prison
keepers took knowledge of them that
they had be£n with Jaesus and had
learned of Him. By and by they were
patroled, and today tjfvo of them are
preaching the Gospel of the Love of
God, seeking to bring their fellow-men
out of the condition of darkness and
sin into the glorious sunlight of Divine
Love and Truth.
Let U* Acknowledge the Truth.
Hajing tried the Gospel of Fear and
Damnation and Torture for the past
sixteen centuries, and having seen that
under this teaching there are more
blasphemy and general wickedness in
Christendom than even in the heathen
world, should we. not decide that it is
due time to give the true Bread and
Water of Life to the hungry and thirs
ty ones who, for lack of it, are search
ing the earth over, and many of whom
are falling into Higher Criticism and
other delusions peculiar to our day
With shame of face we must all ac
knowledge that "we have done those
things which we ought not to have
done, and have left undone those
things which we ought to have done
and there is no health in us." The
proper thing for us to do, dear Chris
tian friends, is to get down upon our
knees- before the Lord and in contri
tion of heart acknowledge that we
have wrought no deliverance in the
earth (Isaiah 26:18) that our sectarian
differences are our shame that the ig
norance In which we have all been re
specting the Word of God is humiliat
ing.
When once the eyes of our under
standing are opened, we can compre
hend as never befoi'e the harmony of
God's Message from Genesis to the
Revelation. Daily the Word of God
becomes more precious to us. More
und more we realize that it is our duty
to fly to the assistance of our dear
brethren in Christ and to call upon
them to join us in a determined stand
j'for God and His Word of Truth. We
must show them that our God has
been dishonored by misrepresentations
of His character and of the real teach
ings of His Word. We must point
them to the fact that the Bible does
not teach that all mankind except the
Elect will be consigned to an eternity
of torture at the hands of demons.
We must also show them that the
Election of the Church during this Gos
pel Age does uot mean injury to the
non-elect: but that on the contrary it
is the Divine purpose that the elect
saints with the great Redeemer shall
constitute Goil's Kingdom, which will
bind Satan, put down sin, banish ig
norance. error and superstition, and
uplift mankind by resurrection proc
esses to all that was lost in Eden by
Adam's disobedience, but secured for
him and all his race through the great
transaction accomplished on Calvary.
.Ml mankind shall .vet see that the Di
vine Purpose shall be accomplished
that the Word which has gone forth
out of Jehovah's mouth shall prosper
in the thing whereunto lie sent it.
In concluding his discourse, the Pas
tor declared that as the test at the end
of the Millennial Age will be loyalty,
even so this is the test upou Christian
people today. The Lord desires not
those who merely fear to do wrong,
but tiiose who love to do right and
hate to do wrong. He claimed that
there is only a little more time in
which Christians will have the oppor
tunity to develop character and to
stand tbe test-
