Sufferers, Should Realize That It Is a Blood Infection and Can ft Be Permanently Relieved Rheumatism means that the blood has become saturated with uric acid poison. It does not require medical ad vice to know that good health is absolutely dependent upon pure blood. When the muscles and joints become sore and drawn with rheu matism, it is not a wise thing to take a little salve and by rubbing it on the sore spot, expect to get rid of your rheumatics.

Still, the incident revealed that English-speaking peo ple instinctively turn to the Bible for light and comfort in perplexity., When feet are called to tread a diffi cult and dangerous way that Book really is a light to one's path. The sober conviction of many thoughtful persons is that a widespread vogue of Bible study would do more than any other one thing to steady the course of America and Canada in this critical hour. Our Nation's Rock Foundation Next year is the three hundredth anniversary of the landing of the Pilgrim Fathers: and the occasion recalls the profound historical fact that the civilisation of this western continent has been shaped by the ideals of God-fearing, Bible-believ ing, Scripture-reading men and women. As Queen Victoria is said to have told an African chief that Britain's greatness is all founded upon the Bible; so we may rever ently say that our western ideals of liberty and democracy spring straight from the Book which our forefathers accepted as their su preme law. America is not founded upon Plymouth Rock so much as on what Gladstone called "the impreg nable ropk of Holy Scripture." Times are strangely troubled just now; there is no shorter, surer way of going through them safely and sensibly than by following the clear directions laid down in the inspired pages of Holy Writ. If all tl\p peo ple who are reading books upon social problems, books upon unrest, were to take to reading the Book which makes plain God's will and man's duty there would be an imme diate and perceptible lessening of the day's strain. For the nearer we come to the mind of God the closer we get to the welfare of man. Rabbit's Foot or Bible As some men carry a rabbit's foot for luck, so others keep a Bible in their house or in their trunk. It is a matter or superstition. My friend at Bergen regurded his Bible some what as a talisman. This attitude of fetich worship, as applied to the Bible, is not rare. Ignorant awe, rather than intelligent use, marks some persons' attitude toward the Book that was written to be read and to be understood. Never so clearly as now have I personally realized what a placebook the Bible is. Lately, I have been reading the Book of Exodus while encamped on Mt. Sinai: and it is more illuminating than a guide book. I have read the Passover story in Egypt; then the Ten Commandments and their story while seated on the top of the Mountain of the Law, where Moses received them. On the bosom of Lake Galilee I have recall ed the words of life which Jesus spoke there; and beside the green slopes of the Mount of Beatitudes I have mused upon the application of Christ's kingdom platform to our times. Standing on the very stones of the porch of the synagogue at Capernaum where the Master Him self stood and looked out over the lake that he loved, I have conned the place of that now-ruined city u: his life and teachings. Upon the Mt. of Olives, beneath a flooding Passover moon, I have gazed upon Jerusalem and quoted his tragic words. What a Traveler Saw Traveling as I have been this ear, to and fro over Bible lands — from Egypt to Damascus and Tarsus and Iconium and Thessalonica and Athens and orinth and Rome and Patmos—l have had a new sense of the geographical character of the Bible. It was written by real men to real people who lived upon real earth, at spots which anyone mav visit. Somebody has called the Holy Land "the fifth Gospel," so perfect ly does it corroborate the written text. Reality is a quality of the Scriptures beyond any other book ever written. And when one examines, as it has been my privilege to do, ancient copies of Holy Writ, toilsomely and beautifully created by consecrated hands of monks and scholars, in the far away centuries which were al most a thousand years nearer to the times, of Jesus than they are to our own day, the vitality of this book grips one's imagination. With my own hands I have handled a fdurth century copy of the Bible. There are later, but still very ancient man uscript copies of the Bible in the li brary of the Monastery of St. Cath erine, on Mt. Sinai. The romantic story of the preservation of the text of the Bible throughout the ages is one too often neglected by religious teachers. Living, and Making Alive Moody used to say, with his rug ged common sense, "I know that the Bible is inspired, because it in spires me." Only life can impart | life. Because this Book is living, in I a sense true of no other, it makes ; human spirits to live again. In a i larger sense than ever the Palmist I meant, "The entrance of thy word giveth light." Where the Bible is read, there 'iberty comes—political liberty, as well, as intellectual and spiritual liberty. No Bible-studying people have remained long complacent un der despotism: the present-day case of the Korean Christians is lu point. Nor has any Bible-studying people ever given way to anarchy or radi cal socialism. Russia had a Church, but the people had no Bible: there fore the present excesses. The Mol okans, or Bible-reading Christians in Russia, have developed a type of character sturdier, and saner than their neighbors. j As a safeguard to society, against I spoliation, oppression, class hatred, | and lawlessness in high or low ! places, there is nothing to equal the [ "Thus said the Lord." People who are loyal to' God's word are never ; disloyal to one another. Sterling character, with strong convictions, such as our times seem to lack, arc the result of a reverent knowledge of the Book divine. President Wilson wrote, upon this point, for the flyleaf of the Bibles to be distributed to service men, the following message: "The Bible is the word of life, i I beg that you will read it and find ' this out for yourselves—read, not little snatches here and there, but long passages that will really be the road to the heart of it. You will find. it full of real men and women not only but also of the things you have wondered about and been trou bled about all your life, as men i have been always, and the more you read the more it will become plain to you what things are worth while and what are not, what things make men happy.—loyalty, right dealing, sneaking the truth, readiness to cive everything for what they think their duty, and most of all, the wish that they may have the approval of the Christ, who gave everything for them—and the things that are guaranteed to make men unhappy. —selfishness, cowardice, greed, and everything that is low and mean. When you have read the Bible s'ou will know that it is the Word of God because you will have found it the key to your own heart, your own happiness, and your own duty."
