Nothing tastes good. Nothing gives

nakes a man who is run down and (lis.

aiseases of the stomach and other or

sluggish liver into action, and increases
the activity of the blood-making glands,
so that there is an abundant supply of
pure, rich blood.

CONTEST. I.at week's lerson presented tho
circumstance uhlih led to the separation be
tween Abram nnd Lot, Some time slier their
eettlcmmt in their run home opirtunity was
given for the former tu show that he still
(heilshfd kindly feelints tnwanl his ncpliiw.
It appears lint .it the time Lot cvtablMiid him
self there Sodom, with other iltlcs nf Hie plain,
was subject to the kings ol sevcrnl title whu
formed a kind of rontcdet.iey, but altir four
teen ear of submission mi utteinpt vvas tiudc
In throw- otf the joke. Tlio ribellion wis iinue
(evsliil In a llerce bitile the aimy of Siiloin
wan defeated and the Inhiblt.iiits of the city
were carried nway ciptlve. Lot and bis lioue
hold were Included anions the pi tenners. On
hearing this Abram armed his men, pursued
nnd roiilid the conquerors and delivered I.t.
It was on the return from this campaign that
h met Melchirodek, king of Siteiii, a priest
of the nio't high (ind, who pronounced Mcseiltiir
on the victorious patriar'li and cMliangcil kindly
greetings.
sON' (Verse 11. This Incident might well
awiken some misgiving In the mind of Abram.
TIiih far he hid licen a man of pi .up, having
tin! no ronlrnvery wllji pn.v. Having now as
sumed the ittllude of .1 military ehieltiln nnd
eiiaigcd the forces of iieishboriiig cities, ho
might properly Imagine tint ho would brine
forth be recirdcd with s nspli Ion, that enemies
would lotnblnc against hlni At sueli a time he
needed some word ot (ucouriirement, nnd the
voice nf the Lord lame tn liltn In n vUlon,
a nictliod employed nil throush the old dis
pen'ation film. :1). Ily t lie powerful agency
of the Holy spirit upon his mind n stiong
loneeptlon and poisuaslnti were pioducrd, so
tint he he.iid wlnt otherwl.e could not have
known. He wan told not to fear tl.ukc 1:111.
that no one should barm him, becaa-e (iod
would le his Khield ngiinst nil who might
tlinit at him, nnd his rewanl for all bin faith
fulness (Psilm xvl'S). lhe-e ulteraneeH were
taken up with confidence by Abram's illustrious
iloMcndint, the king of 1-riel (I'-alm xvtllil.
tOMI'LMNT (WtspH 2 and 31 With such
winds in bis eirs Mium mute bold to speak to
(iod He seemed not to drtibt the protection,
but to vroudcr what uw.ird would be given.
He was in suspenep and dalkne.s becjnc child
les. llie orientalist felt tti.it no earthly good
was possible to him who hid no ott-pring. A
f i mil v was prized more thin ric lies (Psilm
cwvii'.l). This wns not due solely lo the spirit
of paleinil love which was not lacking, but to
the ilosiie for Iniinoilalitv, ns every man ex
picted tn live in ins sons (I'-alm c:11). It Is
piohihlc that the Misslatiio hope was nNri an
delimit III that feeling. nd so as he lie in!
Coil speaking to I v tin . Abram mule his loin-
plaint, the saddest that could break forth out
of tho heart, lli.it ho had no seed. In case of
his death his onlv heir would be Ellerer of Hi
miM'iis, a steward. To him would descend all
his po-sscssiot'.s, and there would be no one to
execute the Lord's purpose. How then could
the promise be kept?

for theve pioplc. So it ever is that new truth
fits into old truth and inmplcles it. and knowl
edge grows fiom single fails to broad gmcr.il
1 ii ions Now conies Another question in the
mind of Abram. It was not bv nn.v means .in
inalaation of doubt, but an earnest wish to
"I
IiKMKVE they are uttnly mis-
ci'Klilo and reinaikubly
lintVL'," said tho Rlil iho
thought bho knew life.
"I believe they aro uliboluto-
linppy nnd huvp Rteat sself-contml,"
Hit lei tho Kill w ho thought she illtl
not.
"I liellPve they ate an extremely or
dinary couple, who at tho bottom of
their heaits do love each other, and
who yet nianiiKf to have some vety
bad vviiyiv nienntnsT lows lilto every
body else," gald the gill who tc-ally
did.
They weie speaking of Mr. and ilti".
I-'anshaw, known ainiuiB their au
qualntiincea as tho "Judee and Jury."
Nobody quite knew why they weio
so called or, rather, nobody tenieiii
beredp. The name had orlslimlly been
a chance rcinatk made by a nitty
young barrister, who had an oddly
clever ttick of knockliiK off his ae
eiualntanccs in some little catch phrat-o
like this one of "Judge-ami Jury,"
"She's tho Jury, you know really
settles everything; but he liiiaglnyt it
all his own doing, and, lu any cusp,
ho gets tho fiedlt of It, you know."
And they hail been so called ever
since. Tho Judge dearly loved his
wife, but he never told her so. In his
own mind ho had iisieed that the fact
of his having chosen her from a wot Id
of girls and lu Ill's youth the Judge
had been much sought after of hav
ing told her, nnd that moio than once
during his lit let engagement, liu diel
love her and finally having made her
his wife all this was sulllclent. What
necessity for moie? So ho lived quiet
ly, undeinonstratlvely on, and In se
cret his wifo was miserable.
She was rnther a passionate and
also in some ways a very proud wo
man. Hut she had no children, nnd,
above all, she was a woman to whom
not only the meio fact of a loving
word or a little cat ess was an absolute
plesure.iv but, mot cover, she pined if
that word or T-aress were heis that
all her world should seo and hear it.
It was a species of unconscious con
ceit, very common, did one only know
it, to most women. Often did she
tell her friends how tho Judge would
almost Ignoio her In front of people,
but when hfi got her alone ! Indeed,
sho had laid some quite passionate
love .scenes at the Judge's door.
Her younger friends looked at her
husband with great wonder at herself
with envy, and the Jury, noting this,
was then happy. She would move
about with a smile on her lips, cheat
ing herself almost Into the belief that

The first tune where the wonl shield Is usd

shield to Abraham, and his "Lxcccihng great
reward."
Possibly Abram was weary anal da pressed aHer
his great efiort to rescue Lot and his followers
fiom the hands of their enemies, and (iml cime
to him Willi a vision of help ami vune of
iniouragemrnt. duel honors llie faith of His
ihiblren. Abraham believed the promisees of
(ioal and "it was necounteil unto lum for right
eousness " Kor his faith and faithfulness he was
to be the father of kings, nml the head of tho
chosen nation. 'I his Inileeil wis a erown of

the Judge teally had kissed her with
tears lu his eyes after he had been
nway for two days when, In truth, the
two on meeting had but shaken hands.
Kor though the Judgo did occasionally,
and on Mich occasions, embrace his
wife, if they met, as they had then
done, befoio the servants, ho alwuys
tteated her in this lstrauger fash
ion, Thetp was ono paitlcle of truth in
Mis. Fanshaw's romances.
As I have before said, her young
friends envied, her contemporailes
smiled nnd Ihe old peoples softly said,
"Poor thing!"
And the Judge and Jury went their
wajl.'i. She, being a. iileier woman,
tilled him in all but Hip ono point
which would have made her happy,
Theie came, ono veiy hot summer,
to the town this ton pie lived in that
dipd disease typhoid fever.
And one of the earliest to take It
was .Mis, Kunshnw.
At tlrst the doctor thought It woulel
bo a slight attack. The Jury herself
was not anxious, and the Judge, us
usual, said nothing.
'Olck," she salel to him when slip
had been III n few days. "If 1 weie go
lng to die, nnd you knew It, what
would you do.'"
"Vou ate not going to die," said tho
Judge dryly.
"Hut it I weie, Dick?" petulantly.
The Jtny felt ill.
"I cannot Imagine, my dear, such nn
unhappy stato of things. Don't you
think you had better go to sleep for a
little?"
"Dick, would you bid me good-bye
nnd say you loved me'.'" the invalid
asked.
She was worse than either of them
knew, and fever gave her a courngo
she would not otherwite huve pos
sessed. "I think my dear," the Judgo re
peated, tlslng fiom tho chair prepara
tory to leaving the room "you had
better"
Mrs. Fitnshaw caught hold of her
husband's hand as he turned nway.
"Any way, Dick," she said in a
shrlllpr key than she was wont to speak
In, "even rt' I'm not going tn die and
of courso I'm not" (as tho Judge made
nit Impatient gesture "it wouldn't
hurt you to suy you loved mo now.
Dick, do Just once." And sho pulled
at his cool hand and ptessed her hot
cheek against It,
Hut the Judgo did not answer her
and ptesently left tho room,
Tho next morning tho doctor looked
graver, and thteo days after tho poor
Jury was raving in delirium.
And through it nil sho was having
passionate love scenes with her hus
bandor, woise still for now tho
Judge did not leave her night or day
she was Imploring him to say he
loved her, and could not understand
when he did so,
