What Is Rheumatism?
Why Suffer From It?
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. You must
go deeper than that, down deep in

An Old Book For the

•The International Sunday School Lesson For September 21 Is
"The Holy Scriptures." Psalm 19:7-14; 119:9-16; 97; 105;
Acts 17:10-12; 2 Timothy 3:14-17; Hebrews 1:12.
By WILLIAM T. ELLIS
Escaping from Russia at the end
of 1917, I had to cross the North
Sea from Bergen to Aberdeen. Two
other Americans were making the
same voyage, and one of them gave
much of his waiting time in Bergon
to reading the Bible. The submarine
menace was at its height. Our path
lay across the worst of waters. The
little dispatch boat in which we
rode was presumably a special ob
jective of the U-Boats. So, despite
the two destroyers which guarded us
all the way, our chances of beiug
sunk were not wholly negligible.
Therefore my American fellow-trav
eler, not normally a religious man,
took to Bible reading and prayer.
He was driven to devotion by stark
fear.
His companion jeered. I, too,
smiled. Neither Heaven nor earth
can have much respect for such a
sudden accession of fright-born rol>
gious interest. 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."
