IF KIDNEYS ACT
BAD TAKE SALTS
Says Backache is sign you have
been eating too much
meat.
When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidne- region it
generally means you have been eating
too much moat, says a well-known
authority. Meat forms 'trie acid which
overworks the kidneys in their effort
to filter it from the blood and they be
come sort of paralyzed and loggy.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog you must relieve them, like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
body's urinous waste, else you havo
backache, sick headache, dizzy spells;
your stomach sours, tongue is coated,
and when tl' <•. weather is bad you have
. rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment, channels of
ten get sore, water scalds and you
are obliged to seek relief twc> or three
times during the night.
Either consult » cooci, reliable phy
sician at once or get rrom your phar
macist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of wa
ter before breakfast for a few day
and your kidneys will then act tine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, com
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to clean and stimulate
sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize
acids in the urine so it no longer irri
tales, thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is a life saver for regular
meat eater*. It is inexpensive, cannot
injure and makes a delightful, effer
vescent lithia-water drink. —Advertise-

J
In AU Lands Thoughts Are Called
Back to the Supreme Being
by Crisis
SAUL'S HEAD WAS TURNED
I International S. S. Lesson Is "Saul
Rejected by the Lord,"
I Sam., Ch. 15 .
(By William T. Ellis)
Not for a generation have people
been so ready as to-day to consider I
the dealings of God with nations. |
In all lands the thoughts of mankind'
are being called back by the present!
crisis to tho elemental truth of a Su
preme Being, whose purposes are I
somehow being worked out in human |
history. This lesson story of a royal i
tragedy in old "Israel's Hie will be |
read with unwonted interest. Fori
Iwe now are all eager to learn the los-I
sons which God has written in the
'past for the present. What does Je-
Iho vail require to-day of nations and
I their rulers?
I A handsome big king had the Jews'"
| got for themselves, in order to bo irrt
the fashion of the times. Head and
I shoulders above his fellows was Saul j
j —but the' head was easily turned. ,
I The son of Kish, who at his election'
was so modest that he hid himself
! among tho baggage, had become a
thorough convert to the doctrine of
divine right of kings, lie felt him
self competent to revise the mandates
of God's prophet,.and the will of the
Lord Himself. Probably Saul woitW
have found our own times congenial
for we aro nowadays particularly fond
of dismissing, with a wave of the hand,
all of the law of God which docs not
please our fancy. A popular pastime
Is to sit in easy judgment upon the
judgments of Jehovah.
When the Powerful Patronize God
The Golden Text of the Old Testa
ment, found in this chapter, is the
key to the whole story: "Behold, to
obey is better than sacrifice. Many
men in our day are patronizing the
Lord of Hosts, paying Him compli
ments, making gifts to His causes,
endorsing the church, and speaking
favorable words about the Bible—
but not for a moment yielding their
own lives in obedience to God's re
vealed will. They have fallen into
the blunder of King Saul, being, like
him, so self-inflated that they fail to
perceive the arrogance and insolence
of their assumption that God can re
ceive compliments from such as they.
Over many a public subscription to
a righteous cause from a godless man;
over many a benevolent institution or
foundation similarly established, may
be written these burning words spoken |
by Samuel, "Behold, to obey is better
than sacrifice." Nobody can do any
acceptable service to God until be has
first yielded Him obedience. To at
tempt to honor by word or deed the
great God whom we refuse to honor
by word or deed the great God whom
we refuse to honor by discipleship is
insufferable presumption.
Would that the image of foolish,
vain and overthrown Saul might
stalk amid the rich and self-compla
cent non Christian patrons of religion
in this generation; and would that
the heroic figure of the prophet Sam
uel, repudiating with biasing: scorn
such insults to the Almighty, might
arise before the eyes of all the syco
phantic and time-serving leaders In
the church who fawn for favors upon
the rich and tho mighty. Until a man
has.yielded himself to the Lord, the
Lord wants nothing from him. Verily,
this old story is pertinent to our own
times.
The King Who Did Not l)o llis Errand
The popular pastime of revising
the program of God is not new. The
men who would eliminate hell from
religion and justice from God's deal
ings with man, making the* Creator
and Ruler of the universe merely a
sort of incarnate Good Nature, whom
nobody is bound to obey or respect or
fear, aro in line with some Old Testa
ment figures, of whom King Saul is a
conspicuous sample.
Even our poor wisdom can see rea
son and justice in the divine com
mand to Israel to exterminate the
Amalekites, those first persecutors of
the children of Israel. The same
spirit of large justice which dooms a
murderer to the electric chair may
decree the punishment of a nation.
As a sacred duty, Saul was ordered
to destroy tho Amalekites, making
them and their possessions a "de
voted" thing. That is, no spoil was to
be taken and no prisoners captured.
This was not a mere military forav, to
be- rewarded by loot and triumphal
processions. The expedition belonged
in the high realm of the execution of
a holy decree of Jehovah.
But Saul thought ho knew better;
even as there are thousands -of our
fellow countrymen who aro to-day re
vising the Decalogue, so far as their
own personal conduct goes. The old
fogey notion of God's just decrees
could not be held without modification
by such a wise and liberal and mighty
monarch as So he blue-penciled
aud interlined his instruction from
God. He would obey so far as torn
ported with his own pleasure and dig
nity and discretion. Therefore he re
fused to slay Agag, the Amalokite
king, reserving him to grace as a pris
oner his own triumphal return to his
capital. As for the spoils of war,
why, it was most impractical of Je
hovah to require that all be destroyed;
so Saul would have the best for him
self and tho people; He would make
a sacrifice of a portion, of course, but
only in the presence of the people,
that the full glory of his exploit might
appear to all.
When the Doom Fell
So it was a very self-complacent
Saul who greeted condescendingly
the man who had made him king.
"I have performed the cpmmnnd
mcnt of Jehovah," he said, thinking
of himself, doubtless, "of course, I
found it necessary to revise the or
ders given me; but then, you know,
the practical worldly wisdom of the
laity, and of thd successful man of
affairs, must supersede the absurd
literalism of you old-fogey preachers
and your rather out-of-date God."
"What meaneth then this bleating
of the sheep in mine ears, and tho low
ing of tho oxen which I hear?" The
stern mein of the prophet, and this
disconcerting query, must have pene
trated even the thick shell of Saul's
pride and egotism. For his royal high
ness began to squirm and evade—poor,
pitiable figure. Why did he not at least
stand up, man-fashion, to the conse
quences of his own sin? Instead, he
blamed it on the people, as if they
were king and not he. Ho nad been
quklc enough to take the glory of the
victory to himself, building a monu
ment by the way; but he was not

ready likewise to assume the blame.
Perhaps Saul had really become In
capable of seeing his own sin, for that
Is the dreadful fate that follows per
sistence In sin. Certainly he gave the
wrong reason for his offense, a mere
subterfuge. A successful personal
worker told me the other day that he
commonly llnds personal sin clouking
behind professed Intellectual difficul
ties, whon a man Is called to face the
question of accepting Christ. Saul was
dishonestly trying to hide behind the
acts of his followers, and behind a
profession of pious purposes. In tho
same way there is many a person who
i:i breaking the laws of God and man
in order to become rich, who avows
that he wants money for the good It
can do. Does heaven have greater
■pity or contempt for the miserable
self-excuses of earth?
Swiftly fell the word of doom upon
the disobedient king.
"And Samuel said, .Though thou
wast little in thine own sljjht, wast
thou not made the head of the tribes
of Israel? And Jehovah anointed
. thee kins over Israel; and Jehovah
• sent thee on a journey, and said, Go,
t and utterly destroy the sinners the
Amalekites, and fight against theni un
til they be consumed. Wherefore then
didst thou not obey the voice of Je
hovah, but didst fly upon the spoil,
and didst that which was evil In the
sight of Jehovah? And Saul said unto
Samuel, Yea, I have obeyed the voice
o!' Jehovah, and have gone the way
which Jehovah sent me, and liavo
brought Agag tho king of Amaiek,
and have utterly destroyed tho Amale
kites, But the peoplo took of tho
spoil, sheep and oxen, the chief of the
devoted things, to sacrifice unto Je
hovah thy God in Gllgal. And Samuel
said, Hath Jehovah as great delight in
burnt offerings and sacrifices, us in i
obeying the voice of Jehovah? BeholdX 1
to obey is better than sacrifice, gnd '
to hearken than the fat of rams. For <
rebellion Is as the sin of witchcraft.
. and stubbornness is as Idolatry and i
i teruphlui. Because thou hast re- i
I jected the word of Jehovah He hatli
also rejected thee from being king."
When God Outlines His Plans
Not His mind, but His method, was
changed by God in the rejection -of
Saul. Tho breaking of the tool in His
hand compelled Him to seek another.
Even God is conditioned by human
nature's willingness or unwillingness
to conform to His purposes. What a
different world this would be to-day
if men had been obedient to all of
God's beautiful plans! The large in
tentions of God are always inevitably
fulfilled, but He constantly is forced
to altar His procedure.
This is the mystery of man's free
will under God's sovereignty. We can
not understand it; but wo are all con
versant, even in our own lives, with j
the way in which man can insist upon!
having God's second best, Instead of j
His best. What took place in the case i
of Saul later became necessary with
Israel itself; God had to set aside tne i
nation which would not conform to j
His will. I
i All of which demonstrates the ex-
' treme gravity of the consequences of
disobeying God. There are strong
colors in this a,ncfent picture of Is
rael's life; but thej' are needed to
bring out in its true light the su
premacy of obedience. Before all else,
and in all else, and above all else, and
after all else, God, because He is God,
demands obedience to His will. "Be
hold, to obey is better than sacrifice."
Tho lesson for life is ulso a lesson
for tho church. Not ritual or ministry
or popularity cur power or wealth can
be any substitute for a church which,
throughout its membership, is obedient
to God's law. "Why call ye me Lord,
and do not the things I command
you?" The throne of the soul, like]
the throne of Saul, may be most eas
ily lost through disobedience. I
