AS LIFF LOOKS FROM EDEN The International Sunday School Lesson For May 4 Is "Man Made in the Image of God." —Gen. 1:26-28; 2:7-9; Eph. 4:20-24 i By William T. Ellis I-ike escaping from the noise and . stench and contentions of an ori- | ental city, to a hillside whence may j be seen, in all their vast and eternal | grandeur, the snow-crowned peaks of storied mountains, so is the turn- | ing from the babble and strife of the | day's news to a contemplation oi the sublime story of man's creation and of his primary purpose in ex istence. There is a widespread tonic effect bound to follow the study tins week of the story of human begin nings by the millions of Sunday j school members of the world. While we are talking about making over , the universal social order, let us l consider the one essential factor, I which is man. Nobody will be the , worsen and everybody will be the i better, for a little hard thinking on | this subject. We see life and we see; it whole from the standpoint of the Garden of Eden. ! When machinery gets seriously j out of repair, it sometimes has to be I sent to the maker to be made right, j Suppose we look upon our jangling. | creaking , thumping, mal-adjusted j state of society as a bit of machin- 1 ery that needs repairing by the Maker. Society is merely people in the mass. It is the multiple of one ( man. Most of its defects are in its individual parts. The whole me chanism will work well only after the personalities which comprise it have been made right. Our day s supreme issue is one, whether it be the League of Nations or the latest neighborhood strike, and that is personal to people. When all men's good becomes each man s rule," then we shall have the per fect day toward which the world has been so bloodily, blindly, groping. Getting Down to ltodrock Small boys pass through a period wherein they believe that a horse- 1 hair, if left long enough in a bottle j of water, will turn into a snake. As , we grow older, we arc almost equal- j ly credulous concerning the capacity | of human beings to grow into what • thev wore not. The delusion that society will evolve itself into a new , order dies hard. It matters not that the scientist who has followed the race back, through excavations and archaeological records, declares that for a period of known history man was as man is. He has not essentially altered in more than five thousand years. Still a host of intelligent folk believe that human ity, like Topsy, "just growed." and , that it will continue to grow until it reaches perfection. We arc not accidents. Man came ; not by chance, a mere prank of cos mic forces. He was created. God made hint. Before be was a thing of tieslT, lie was a thought of God.: The inscrutable councils of eternity j sat in deliberation upon his advent. | Here we have the greatest truth ol all concerning ourselves and our times —God had a hand in our mak ing. And that hand has never been removed from man. If we know anvthing at all about a Supreme Be ing. it is that his chief interest in this earth is in mankind. So the Garden of Eden viewpoint is that before there was a man there was a God; and that man is because ( God was; and that the Maker of , man has proprietary rights in him: j and that the Almighty who began , the race of man still stands by to see j it through. We anchor a sustaining | faith for troubled times in the very j character of Omnipotence. Hesliaping the Scheme of Things | Old religions, such as Paul dis-| cussed on Mar's Hill, did not get , OVER-ACIDITY of the stomach has upset many a night's rest. If your stomach is acid- j disturbed, dissolve two or three Ki-noiDS on the tongue before retir ing and enjoy refreshing sleep. The purity and goodness of Ki-moids guaranteed by SCOTT & BOWNE MAKERS OF SCOTT'S EMULSION lO-3 Daily Health Talks Better be Careful About Your Kidneys BY N. B. COOK, M. D. Foods taken into the stomach go through various chemical changes, and some of these changes are poi sons that must be sifted out and dis posed of. It is the duty of the kid neys to do this. When the kidneys <lo not fully perform their vital work, death may be only a few hours away. Happily, aNture has provided warning alarms telling people when their kidneys are not well. Those | warnins come in the form of drag- j ging pains in the small of the buck, I weak stomach, low spirits, chills, ! nausea, headache, scanty urine and i frequent desire to pass it, short i breath, numbness, cramps, coated' tongue, bad breath, puffs under the eyes, thin blood, dry skin, ringing in 1 tlie ears, spots before the eyes and I many other symptoms. All come from the one cause of kidneys that are not Altering the poisons out of the system. oT overcome these troubles. Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. V., compounded what he calls Anurtc Tablets. No other kidney medicine is its equal in giving relief and re-establishing healthful work in the kidneys. The treatment is very simple, as you need nothing except water when taking Anuric Tablets—-a glass of water with each tablet. This washes and flushes the kidneys while the medicine itself is dissolving the uric acid poisons und driving them out. Anuric Tablets are made double strength, so that they dissolve uric acid the same as hot water dissolves salt or sugar. Most people need Anuric Tablets be cause most people have uric acid. Better get that poison out of your body for safety's sake, and better begin to-day. To gently and agreeably coax the bowels back into normal activity, take Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. They arc just as good for costive ness as his Anuric Tablets are good for kidney disorders, and that is saying a great deal. FRIDAY EVENING, Hajrrisbttrg TET-EGrcxPH MAY 2, 1919. ■ much beyond the point that we are! God's offspring, and that he has sov ereign right in us. That is basic, j and not always remembered. Some- | | times we weave such an intricate I fabric of religious beliefs that we lose sight of the elemental fact that j there is a God who made us and ; that we are his, "the sheep of his j pasture," as the Psalmist says. Losing sight of God's creation j rights, we set about undoing or re-j vising his-work. What is bringing] nations to crash to-day? Whence springs this turmoil that resounds from Germany and Russia and con tiguous parts? Why are statesmen: j more affrighted by Bolshevikisni j than by militarism? Is the answer I I not simple? Men fancy that, as j I Omar sings, they can i i "Grasp this sorry scheme of things I entire. And reshape it to our heart's de- l ; sire." ! Flouting God. his nature and his j law, they are attempting to build Babels that will outwit him and | overcome his purposes. Anybody | | who has seen Bolshevikism at work i in Russia, as I have, can understand 1 I why it has repudiated Christianity, i and the centuries-tested Ten Com mandments. These expressions of the Divine will run counter to self ishness, hatred, greed, lust, idleness and power. God must be dethroned, before Bolshevikism can have its j way with the world. Instead of call- | ing men back to the benelicient pro- j visions of the Creator for man's wei- | fare and social solidarity, it bids them spurn the tested integrities, and give free reign to all the baser I impulses of self-indulgence. What Are We Here For? I Dissect not only Bolshevikism, but j ! most of the current social radicalism j !und "liberal" thinking, and you will | I lind at bottom the idea that human j j beings are merely physical crea tures, whose material comfort and j [carnal appetites arc supreme. Of i course, this is a Garden of Eden fallacy, hut it swings into power recurrently through the centuries. Nowadays, as with the Greeks, it is cloaked in pleasing sophisms. We talk about the sanctity of our im pulses. otjr right to self-expression, our untrammeled nature, our free dom to obey our desires and to liout all conventions as mere man-made i restraints for inferior beings. It all j comes to the same thing: we want 110 do as we please, regardless of j hurt to others, and we do not care to please God, whose benelicient laws jure born of his omniscience and : good will. Still more plainly put, ■ tHis radical conception of life re- I duces us to the level of unrestrained I animals, and would end in making the world a jungle. Dead against this draft rises the 11 majestic and man-ennobling decla- i ration of our lesson. "God created man in his own,image, in the image of God created he him." Again, "Man became a living soul." There J is the clarion word for our befud dled times. Man is man at his best when he is likest to God. The high est aim of life is to fulfill the divine design of the Creator, in whose image we have been formed. From the beginning there has been a di vine destiny for the race. We all have Godlike potentialities. What is best in us—as we know of a sure- I ty that it is what is best in our ] ! mothers and wives and friends —is it hat which savors of God, which j ' pursues truth and loves holiness and | j which has standards of honor tran-I ; scending common practice. "We | have bodies; we are souls." In those I I hours of illumination, when we I best know our best selves, we per- i | ceive that godliness, with its corol lary, the subjugation of tieshly pas- | I sions, is the true aim of man. | With real pertinency, the lesson : I committee has clinched this teach-| I ing by one of Paul's ringing words ' I to the Christians in the degenerate' City of Kphesus, surrounded by the I same downward forces that now sur | round us. "But ye have not so j ! learned Christ; if so be that ye have j heard him. and have been taught by I him, as llie truth is in Jesus: that | Ive put off concerning the former [ conversation the old man, which is I corrupt according to the deceitful ] lusts; and he renewed in the spirit of your mind: And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness." The Man and the Woman If all the jests in the current press were to be tabulated, it doubt less would appear that most of them have to do with love and marriage. In a great time, with evidences of spiritual illumination and rebirth on every hand, it is nevertheless Irue that there is a great and grow ing cynicism and flippancy, with re spect to the holy passion of love between man and woman, and to the institution of matrimony. The practice of many men and even of nations has been a defiance of the ' Christian teaching of chastity and I a living thing. Even in this, how- j ever, there lias been a glaring in- i consistency. Peoples tliat pander to J human lust, still sacredly guard I their own daughters from the ideals which they practice themselves. And even the most abandoned man or | woman cherishes the hope that some i day the miracle of real love, with the 'consequent joys of home, will kindle ja Arc in the cold ashes of his heart. 1 who write these linos am truv ' cling in the ancient, weary and | I worn-out regions of earth: where | I the cup of self-indulgence has been I i drunk to the dregs. And the lees ■ ire bitter. If history has any power | I to leach the wise, this lesson should I lie learned to-day, that "Righteous- I ness exalteth a nation!" and that "There is a way that seemeth right j to man, but the end thereof are the ways of death." Out here amid the" burnt-out. and backward peoples, the worst suffers in the world, one gets a new devotion to our Anglo- Saxon. Bible-taught ideals of home and chastity of love. What is writ ten in the first chapter of Genesis is written also in the ruins of the na tions that have spurned the divine command. "Male and female created he them." God made man for woman and woman for man—one man for one woman, and one woman for one man. Therein is completion and symmetry of existence to be attain ed. There are no other joys like home joys; no other success equal to the creation of a Christian home, with children's laughter resounding within its walls. Our times have turned thumbs down against the acquisition of vast personal fortunes as the standard of success. Let us instead proclaim the building of homes, filled with children reared in the fear of God, as the. highest achievement possible to man and woman. For that is God's plan; and anything else is failure. I PjBdPBdQdPBCJPBdMPBSSPHdHWE SELL foe LESsssp^sip^stftipsdGdPilSßSPHSSPßi Men's Underwear New Silk Skirts fi glen's Balbrigg'an Underwear.
