Those who suffer with kidney back- ache, urinary ills of any little kidney: or biadder disorder, want kidney help. Who can better advise than some Meyersdale residents who has alsd suffered, but has had relief. Mey ersdale recommended Doan’s Kidney Pills. Here’s one case and there are many others. Mrs, Ross Albright, 600 Keystone St., Meyersdale, Pa., says: ‘For a long time my back pained me and 1had a severe headache and spells of dizziness. In the morning, I felt tired .and I lacked strength ‘and en- ergy. Doan’s Kidney Pills were rec- ommended so highly that I was led to begin using them, procuring a supply at F. B. Thomas’ Drug Store. They soon relieved me and I have since felt better in every way.’”’ If your back aches—if your kidneys bother you, don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—ask distinctly = for Doan’s Kidney Pills, the same, that Mrs. Albright had—the remedy back- ed by home testimony. 50c all stores.

The announcement that he had sent form- er Governor John Lind, of Minnesota, to Mexico, as his personal represen- tative and as adviser to the Ameri- can Embassy, there has been met by the official statement on behalf of President Huerta that unless Gover- nor Lind comes with proper creden- tials and with full power to recognize the Mexican government his pres- ence in Mexico will not be desirable. Going as the personal representa- tive of the President, however, Gov- ernor Lind needs no credentials. He is not accredited to the Mexican, he is not even an official of the American Embassy in Mexico and the demund of Huerta that he be formally accredited might properly be construed by one less patient with the turbulent Mexicans than President Wilson to be a deliberate affront to this goyernment. More- over, Huerta’s demand that Gover- nor Lind sha:l1 come empowered to recognize the present de facto gov- ernment of Mexico is made with the full knowledge on Huerta’s p.rt that President Wilson has determin- ed not to grant such recognition. It is, therefore, nothing short of de- fiance of this country. Many men in President Wilson’s position would respond with immediate preparation for intervention. Discussion of the affiar in the Sen- ate discloses the fact that many Sen- ators, including the foremost sup- porters of the administration, take a very serious yiew of the situation. Senator Olark, of Wyoming, intro- duced, and pressed vigorously, a res- olution for a Senate investigation of the situation. It required a long and serious appeal by Senator Bacon, Chairman of the Committee on For- eign Relations, the natural spokes- man for the administration on such, matters, to prevent immediate action on the resolution. In the eourse of his appeal Senator Bacon admitted that Governor Lind’s mission was likely to fail and that its failure al- most inevitably meant armed inter- vention. General Huerta’s official amnounce- ment, that Governor Lind’s pres- ence in Mexico would not be.desira- ble, is followed by an astonishing official statement by the Goyeornor of the Federal District, in whieh Mexi- co City is situated, to the effect that he ean provide no guarantee for the personal safety of Governor Lind in that city. These two formal an- nouncements by high Mexican offi- cials present a situation which may easily and shortly compel this gov- ernment to resort to armed interven- tion. —_———eee Don’t use harsh physics.

SELLERS, Director of Even- ing Department The Moody -Bible In- stitute of Chicago.) LESSON FOR AUGUST 17 CROSSING THE RED SEA. LESSON TEXT-Ex. 14:19-8L GOLDEN TEXT-—‘Before they call, 1 No sooner were the Israelites sent ‘on their journey than the Egyptians repented and pursued (vv. 5-9). Then it was that Moses encountered the ‘first of that complaining (v. 10) against which he struggled until God took him from this earth. They “cried” (v. 10) but they did not rest. It did look like a dangerous situation and there were but three possible methods of procedure. (a) To return to slavery, (b) to die in the wilder ness, or (3) to go forward in faithful obedience, trusting God for deliver ance. Their salvation (v. 13) was from God, see Acts 4:12; Heb. 5:8, 9. ‘God's leading, 13:31, 22, had brought ‘them to this place; now He will man} ‘fest His glory, will get unto Himself “honor” (v. 17). Testing the Israelites. I. Protection, vv. 19-22, As the an gel of God (Christ?) came between Israel and the Egyptians we are re ‘minded of Ps. 34:7, “the angel of the Lord encampeth round about them ‘that fear Him and delivereth them.” The same cloud that brought darkness to the Egyptians brought light to the Israelites. Even 80 we have the “Light,” Luke 2:32; John 8:12, 9:5, and are admonished to walk im the light, Eph. 5:8. While God brought confusion to the Egyptians and was testing the Israelites by causing them to “fear not, stand still and see” (v. 13), He was at the same time giv- [ing Moses an opportunity to work out ‘His plan of deliverance (v. 16). As the strong east wind blew it heaped up the waters, dried out the muddy bottom and opened a passage for the deliverance of all the chosen ones. Then it was time for prayer to cease (v. 14, 15) and for action to begin, ‘the seemingly impossible ig now quite possible, Matt. 19:26. Notice, how- ever, that God had used a man (Moses) in His work of deliverance. It was a very simple shepherd's staff that God directed Moses .to use. Surely the power was not in the staff nor in the arm back of the staff. The ‘same waters that had seemed to be such a barrier are now used as a wall of protection (v. 22) on the right hand and on the left leaving no opportunity for a flank attack. Their only way of escape was forward and each step they took was one of faith. Il. Pursuit, vv. 23-25. Pharaoh had judged that the Israelites were en- tangled, “perplexed” (v. 8) in the wil- derness and that Moses had inadvert- antly led them into a natural trap which was to the advantage of the Egyptians. with the darkness of the cloud before them, the Egyptians were not fully aware of the fact that they were fol- Jowing Israe! into the midst of the waters. Blind fury will lead a man ‘into strange surroundings and to per- form insane acts. This new way was not prepared for Pharaoh nor is the straight and narrow path which leads to glory for the unrepentant sinner. Jehovah was near at hand that “morn- ‘ing watch” (v. 24), even as today He blesses those who keep that hour, One “look” from Jehovah brought confusion and discomfort upon the pursuers. The Safe Path. Ill. Punishment, vv. 26-31. The path ‘that is safe for faith is no place for ‘the disobedient. God looking through that cloud paralyzed the proud forces of Pharaoh in the place of all places, most dangerous, God not alone looked but took off their chariot wheels and fear overcame them. Then they real- ized that Jehovah was fighting and sought to flee. Again God uses a man in the working out of His plan and Moses is instructed to stretch forth his band over the sea, v. 26. As the morning breaks the waters re- turn to their level, and again God uses natural forces in a supernatural .manner. Like as one would shake off some useless, offensive, appendage 80 God was rid of the army of Pha- raoh (v. 27 marg.). A careful read- ing of this story, especially verse 28 R. V., clearly indicates the probability ‘that Pharaoh himself did not perish. ‘Thus it was that Israel saw the hand- work of the Lord upon the Egyptians while they themselves remained a saved people, saved by the power of Jehovah. Great fear came upon them (v. 31) and they “Believed the Lord and His servant Moses.” How sad that their faith proved so short lived and that they so soon murmured against God and His servant Moses. Thus we see the nation delivered, consecrated and placed under the di- rect government and guidance of God. Egypt did not keep faith with Israel to let them “go and worship” and God wrought a complete deliverance. God’s judgment of the sin of Egypt was carried out to the last degree, but in strict justice. On one hand is God’s guidance and over against that the lengths men will go whose hearts are hardened in rebellion. The blas- phemous daring of the Egyptians was rebuked as they attempted to march along God's highway of deliverance. Israel followed Moses, the prophet.

Advices from that county are that the grasshoppers have practically been driven out. Crude oil and an arsenical solution were employed in the dest.uction of | the hoppers, and the work has been very successful. A bigscoop-like pan was constructed to which wag hitched two horses. The pan was filled with crude oil. In driving through a field, the hoppers would strike against a back shield and fall down into the pan. As soon as they struck the oil they died. When the pan would get full the hoppers would be pilled on the ground and burned. Often more than 50 bushels would be on the ground at one time. In the use of the arsenical solution the hoppers would die from ten to 30 hours after they had been sprayed with it. One of the peculiarities not- ed was that after they had subjected to the poison they would congregate under a bush or shrub and begin eat- ing each other. Only the bodies of the insects would be devoured, the heads being left. In many places piles of grasshopper heads would be found under a bush. Eg . No Need of It.
