Thin lesson story proves Elijah to
have been a man of like passions as
we are (Jns. 5:17).
1. Elijah's Flight (vv. 1-14). Upon
Ahah's return from the excitement on
Mount Carmel, he told his wife all
that Elijah had done—that even all
her prophets had been hewn to pieces
by the sword. This so enrnged her
that she sent a message of death to
Klljah, who seems to have been wait-
ing at the gate (vv. 1, 2). This was
clearly a bluff on Jezebel's part.
Though Klljah had courageously
stood before the king and the priests
of Baal, he now cowered before this
woman and fled for his life. He seem*
to have failed at his strongest point.
1. Klljah under the Juniper tree
(vv. 3-7). The Juniper tree was a
shrub of the desert which afforded
shelter and protection to travelers
from the burning sun by day and the
cold wind by night. (1) Ills request
(v. 4). This was that he might die.
This was, no doubt, a foolish thing for
him to pay, but let us be as consld
erate toward him as wns God. The
discouragement, and even desponden
cy, of Klljah was due to the nervous
strain of about four years of unusual
service for God, which -culminated
on Mount Carmel. Such nervous re-
action Is to be expected. (2) God's
tender treatment (vv. 5-7). (a) He
gave hi in sleep (v. f>). "He giveth
His "beloved sleep" (Psa. 127:2). (b)
He sent an angel to cook Elijah's
meal (vv. 0. 7). The angel of the Lord
Is usually understood to be the sec-
ond member of the Holy Trinity. If
this be correct, then we see Jehovah-
Jesus preparing food for His servant
Elijah, as He afterward did for His
discouraged disciples by Galilee (John
21:10). God again gave him sleep,
and at the proper time again gave him
food. Though Klljah wanted to die
God had something better for him.
for In a later day He met him with
the "chariot of the Lord" and took
him ip heaven untouched by death.
2. Killsh at Pqreb (vv. 8-14).
(1) God's Interview with Elijah In
the cave (vv. 9, 10). (a) God's ques-
tion (v. 0). "What doest thou here.
Elijah?" This was a stinging rebuke,
though most kindly given. It Implied
that Ills appointed messenger was
now far away from the field of duty.
Elijah was not where God wanted him.
but God sought him where be was.
How blessed to know that "A God
forsaking saint Is not a God-forsaken
salntj" (b) Klljah's answer (v. 10).
Rlljafi tried to vindicate himself by
asserting his Jealous loyalty to God—
that In spite of all this the people
had not only rejected his message
and dishonored God, but had sought
to destroy him. (2T God's Interview
with Elijah on the Mount (vv. 11-14).
While standing before the Lord on
the mount, God caused a mighty
demonstration of wind, earthquake
and tire to pass before , hlru to show
unto him the nnture of the work which
he had been doing for God, and to
show him what was lacking in his
work for the fullest attainment of
success. Klljah had about him much
of the whirlwind, earthqunke and flre.
Ills work had been terrifying and
alarming, but It lacked in gentleness
and love.
II. Elijah's Return (vv. 15-18).
Though Elijah had erred, God
brought him again Into His service.
How comforting to know that God
does not reject Ills servants because
of their failures In times of despon-
dency I He deals with them after the
motive of their hearts. Elijah was
nourished and Instructed by the Lord
and then sent on a high mission. God
is a fine psychologist. He took Elijah
out of himself by giving him a new
commission. The most healing min-
istry Is that of work. Many bereaved
ones have been lifted out of them-
selves by active ministry to others.
Before God would come In Ills chariot
to take' Elljuh home, lie set him upon
a threefold ministry:
1. To anoint II a 7. a el king over Syria
(v. 15).
2. To anoint Jehu king over Israel
(v. 10).
3. To anoint Elisha as his own suc-
cessor (vv. 19-21).
CALOMEL IS A

MOTHER! OPEN
CHILD'S BOWELS WITH
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Calomel is rirrcury; quicksilver. It
crashes Into .suur t>iJe like dynamite,
cramping ami sickening you. Calomel
attacks the hones and should never be
put into your system.
If you feel bilious, headachy, consti-
pated and all knocked out, just so to
your druggist and get a bottle of Hod-
son's Liver Tone for a few cents which
is a harmless vegetable substitute for
dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful
and if It doesn't start your liver and
straighten you up better and quicker
tlian nasty calomel and without making
you sick, you Just go back and get your
money.
Don't take calomel! It makes you
sick the next day; It loses you a day's
work. Dodson's Liver Tone straightens
you right up and you feel great. No
salts necessary. Give It to the children
because it Is perfectly harmless and
can not salivate.—Advertisement.
Tour little one will love the "fruity"
taste of "California Fig Syrup" even If
j constipated, bilious, Irritable, feverish,
or full of cold. A teaspoonful never
! fails to cleanse the liver and bowels.
| In a few hours you can see for your-
j self how thoroughly It works all the
sour bile, and undigested food out of
the bowels and you have a well, play-
ful child again.
Millions of mothers keep "California
Fig Syrup" handy. They know a tea-
spoonful today saves a sick child to-
morrow. Ask your druggist for genu-
ine "California Fig Syrup," which has
directions for babies and children of
all ages printed on bottle. Mother!
You must say "California" or you may
get an imitation fig syrup.—Advertise

His Condition.
"How are you coming on, Uncle
Bragg?" asked an acquaintance.
"Well, I'll just—p'tu—tell ye, Gabe,"
answered old Bragg Sockery of Mount
IMzgy, Ark. "I hain't doing no per-
tickler good. 'Pears like the doctor
and the neighbors don't understand
j my case. Some says one thing about
! It and some says something else, till I'll
be dogged if I don't get to sorter won-
dering whether none of 'em have got any
*ense. I don't like to dlsapp'int my
friends, though, and I hate to waste
what I pay the doctor for. So I've

to float a boat, and have klnda got

me is simply what's the matter with

Daddy In a Bad Way.
Six-year-old Lois, whose father Is
professor of English at the University,
delights In using "big" words. One
day she heard her mother saying over
the phone to one of her husband's
students:
"No, Mr. B— cannot keep his ap-
pointment, I'm afraid; he is very much
Indisposed this afternoon."
Some days later Lois, while play-
ing. was overheard to say to an im-
aginary caller at the door:
"No, my husband cannot see you
today; he Is very much decomposed I"

The Opportunity.

premely worth having is t' e opportu-
nity to do worthily a pWee of work,
the doing of which Is oI vital conse-
quence to the welfure of mankind.—

Connubial Pleasantry.
"Tired of waiting, dearie?" she
asked, emerging from her dressing
room after exhausting her feminine
arts In the attempt to api>ear beauti-
ful.
"Oh, no," he replied, wearily, "it's
all in a wife-time."—Life.
Lest He Forget.
She—Where is my picture?

She—Ah I I seel Cold storage.

Autos Named, Like Boats.
Autos in Paris ar« beginning to dis-
pute yachts of the w n and fleet horses
of the tracks the right to individual-
ities of their own. Here and there one
sees an Imposing car bearing on the
radiator the name chosen by the own-
er, perhaps fanciful, perhaps that of
some dear one, and the fad Is rapidly
becoming popular. Names of persons
thus far are more often seen than those
of poetical, historical or literary al-
lusion, and already the new fnshlon
Is giving rUe to good-natured gossip.
Whjt Ailed Her Pulse.
Little Louise was recovering from
a bit of fi'ver and her appetite had be-
gun to assert Itself. She gave a look
at the rjeager slice of toast and the
broth tbat had been brought to her
beilslde,
"Can't I have more than this, moth-
er?" she asked. "It Isn't half enough."
"Nut Just yet," said mother, "I am
afraid to glv^ you more. Your pulse
is still too quick."
"But, mother," urged Louise, "don't
you see It's my excitement because I
can't get enough to eat that makes my
pulse so quick?"—Wayside Tales.
Help Your Kidneys Fight That Cold!
Winter Colds and Chills Weaken the Kidneys and Are the
Direct Cause of Many Serious Kidney Disorders
IS winter-time your backache-time? Does
every cold, chill or attack of grip leave
you lame, achy and all worn out? Does
your back throb and ache until it seems
you just can't keep going another day?
1 hen look to your kidneys! Grip, colds
and chills throw a heavy strain on the kid-
neys. They overload the blood with
poisons and impurities that the kidneys
have to filter off. The kidneys weaken
under this rush of new work; become con-
gested and inflamed.
It's little wonder then, that every cold
finds you suffering with torturing backache,
rheumatic pains, headaches, dizziness und
annoying bladder irregularities.
But don't worry I Simply realize that
your kidneys are overworked at such times
and need assistance, (jet a box of Doan's
Kidney Pills today and give your weakened
kidneys the help they need. Assist them
also by drinking pure water freely, eating
lightly, and getting plenty of fresh air and
rest. Doan a Kidney /}ills have helped

We had but recently moved into
the town, writes a correspondent, and
I went to church on Sunday, ac-
companied by my daughter.
After the services the minister
rushed to the door to shake hands with
us, nnd said to Hilda: "And why
didn't you bring your daddy with
you?"
She replied, "Oh. lie's home taking
care of brother. He doesn't care for
churches or picture shows, anyway."

Time to Quit.
This one from the Flash, published by
the Merchants Heat and Light com-
pany :
Harry Warren, five year-old son of
E. A. Dlstler, came around the other
day when the latter was singing the
baby to sleep. "She's almost uncon-
scious, isn't she?" he Inquired. "Yes,"
said daddy. "Well, then," said young
Harry, "you better quit singing or
you'll kill her."—Detroit Free Press.

"Pa, what's a critic?"
"A critic, my son, Is an artlstlo
knocker."— Boston Transcript.
Petting parties, so called, don't seera
to be much different from the old*
fashioned "kissing games."
Time Rightly Employed.
Never talk with any man, or under-
take any trifling eraploymertt, merely
to pass the time away; for every day
well spent may become a "day of sal-
vation," and time rightly employed Is
an "acceptable time." And remember
that the time thou trlflest away was
given thee to repent in, to pray for
pardon of sins, to work out thy sal-
vation, to do the work of grace, to lay
up against the day of Judgment a
treasure of good works', that thy tlm®
may lie crowned with eternity.—Jere-
my Taylor.
