How much better, when you have a new home, to start right than to have
to correct errors afterward from former treatment with other materials, when
you come to the use of Alabastine, as does nearly every one sooner or later.
Once your walls are Alabastined you can use any material over it

KING HAD SOME IMAGINATION
Wonderful Story of "Waterless Sea”
Would Have Done Credit to
- Baron Munchausen.
Prester John as a title was like
- the Egyptian Pharaoh and belonged to
whole lines of kings who reigned In
the East and in Ethiopia in particular.
- One writer of long ago sets Abyssinia
}., as the kingdom'bf Prester John. Abys
sinia used to be called "Middle India.”
It is related that before the year
1241 a letter was addressed by Prester
John to Manuel Commenus, emperor
of Constantinople, saying that in Pres
ter John’s country there is a “water
less sea,” which none have ever cross
ed. It consists of tumbling billows of
sand, never at rest, and contains fish
of most excellent flavor.
Three days’ journey from the coast
,of the sand sea is a mountain whence
rolls down a “waterless 'river,” con
sisting of small stones, which crumble
into sand when they reach the sea.
Whoever Prester John may have
been, if he invented that story, he
certainly possessed a vivid imagina
tion and considerable originality. .
No Time to Lose. ->

“Oh, what" a fine cod 1” exclaimed
Marin, “Wherever did you get it?”
“A man at the market gave it to me
last week for helping him,” replied

“But my birthday ain’t till tomor

GOLDEN TEXT—Go ye therefore and
teach all nations, baptizing them in the
name of the Father, and of the Son, and
of the Holy Ghost; teaching them to ob
serve all things whatsoever I have com
manded you: and, lo, I am with you al
way, even unto the end of the world—
Matt 28:19, 20.
ADDITIONAL MATERIAL—John 1:42;
21:15-24; I Peter 1:3; I John 1:1-4.
PRIM ART TOPIC-Two Stories About
Peter (Acts 3:1-16; 12;1-1D,
JUNIOR TOPIC-Peter and John Win
ning Others to Christ (material of last
quarter).
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC
—Peter and John Compared and Con
trasted.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULTTOPIC
—Contribution of Peter. and John to
Christian History.
The review of the quarter’s lessons
can be profitably made to center In
the service of Peter and John, or per
haps better, the activity and power of
the risen and ascended Christ mani
fest In the service of Peter and John.
- Lesson 1. Peter Preaches at Penta
cost (Acts 2).
Peter proves that Jesns Christ arose
from the dead, ascended on high and
poured forth the Holy Spirit upon the
church; the evidence.. of It was the
unusual behavior of the disciples.
Lesson 2. Peter and John Heal a
Lame Man (Acts 3).
This remarkable miracle wrought In
the name of Jesus Christ proved that
though the Jews had crucified hljn. he
was now alive and continued his work
through the disciples, -s
Lesson 3. Peter and John Witness
ing of the Risen Christ Before the San
hedrin (Acts 4). ,
As n result the Sanhedrin took
knowledge that they had been with
Jesus, that is, his lire ana work were
being reproduced In and through them.
Being with Christ will; 1. Give an
experimental knowledge of him, so
that the life will remind one of Jesus.
2. Take away the. fear .of man. Pe
ter, who a little while ago quailed
before a Jewish maid, Is undaunted,
before the august sanhedrin. 8. Open
a man's lips. Peter said: "We can
not but speak the things which we
have seen and heard.” What the heart
feels, the mouth must speak.out. .
Lesson 4. The Risen Christ Vindicat
ing His Church (Acts 1:5-l6).
He passed judgment upon Ana
nias and Sapphlra for their hypocriti
cal pretense of generosity. The living
Christ knows the intents of the heart;
nothing can be concealed from him.
Lesson 5. The Living Christ Saving
Men and Women in Samaria (Acts
8:4-25). His sanction of the preach
ing of the Gospel by Philip Jn Sa
maria is shown by the outpouring of
the Holy SpirlL— Peter and John were
sent by the rnothar church to confirm
the -work.
ueson e. ine Living unrist Healing
the Sick and Raising the Dead (Acts
9:32-43).
That Christ Is alive is proved by the
vanquishing of the dreadful malady of
palsy and the retenanting of a corpse
by the departed soul. Nothing like
this had been known since, the days
of Christ.
Lesson 7. The Risen Christ Reveal
ing Uimself to a Gentile (Acfs 10).
Peter testifies to Cornelius that
Jesus Christ died for sin and is to be
the judge of the quick and the dead,
and that everyone who believes on him
will receive remission of sins. w
Leson 8. Peter Is Delivered From
Prison Through the Living Christ:
Sending His Angel to Open the Doors
(Acts 12:1-19)."' 7.7, \
The church prayed for Peter’s deliv
erance and the prison was opened. All
power is given him in heaven and in
earth; . there Is nothing too hard for .
the living Christ 7 ^
Lesson 9, Peter Shows the Resur
rected Christ as the Head of the
Church (I Peter 2:15; 11-25).
Because Christ is alive, those who
are joined to him by faith grow. Be
cause of the contact with him they are "
able to maintain seemly behavior jn
the various relations of life.
Lesson 10. Christ Is the Revealer of
God’s Love (I John 4:7-21).
The proof that Christ Is alive Is the
love of God in: the hearts of those who
have been born again. j :
Lesson 11. Christ Is Alive .Because
He Is Walking in the Midst of the
Churches (Rev. 1:4-18),
Lesson 12. In heaven, the orucifled,
risen and glorified Christ will be the
center of worship. All glory and hon
or are ascribed to him because of his
marvelous work of redemption.

Save you ever stopped to reason-why
it is that so many products that are ex
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain—the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain .system the remedy is
recommended by those Who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says “Take for
example Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, a
preparation I ^ave sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re
sults, as many of my. customers testify.
No. other kidney remedy has so large a
sale."
According to sworn . statements and
verified tegtipiony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of Dr.
Kilmer’s Swamp-Rcot is due to the fact,
so many people claim,'that it fulfills al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
