call it, "Hamburger Brust Thee." at any :
iliarmary. Take a tablcxpoonful of tbe
tea, put a cup of boiling water upon ,
it, pour through a sieve and drink a 1
teacup full at any time during the
day or before retiring. It is the moat
effective way to break a cold and cure
grip, as it opens the pores of the skin,
relieving congestion. Also loosens the
bowels, thus driving a cold from the
system.
Try it the next time you suffer from
a roM or the grip. It is inexpensive
and entirely vegetable, therefore laf

RUB BACKACHE AND
LUMBAGO RIGHT OUT
THE FIRST STEP
Usually the first indication of a
lowering of health is found in the
bowels and liver. Something goes
wrongwe cat too much, or work
too hard and the bowel action
weakens or the diver is sluggish.
That heavy feeling on arising in
the morning, dryness oi the
throat, with bad taste, -a slight
headache, dull eyes all show that
food has fermented in the intes
tines, and that the body is man
ufacturing poisons instead of
good blood.
Clear it all out. Give the
stomach and bowels a fresh start,
lincouraee the liver to go to
work. Manalin does all of this,
without griping or weakening.
It's the ideal laxative and liver
tonic, because it follows Nature's,
plan, without ciscomfort, inflam
mation or forming a habit. Con
stipation may be overcome with
its use.

Lesson for January 21
i
FIRST DISCIPtE OF THE LORD
JESUS.
I.E8SOM TEXT John l:3S-49.
OOl.MKN TKXT- Jesus salth unto hlmj
follow me. John 1:43.
The words "I see" or "behold" occur
fifteen times In this first chapter. John,
was a witness to the Son of Man. This
term, "Son of Man," occurs eighty
times In the gospel. The words "Come
and see," or their equivalents, occur
nine times In this lesson. This Is a
grent Invitation lesson. It would be
Interesting If the scholars would tell
what the voices are which say,
"Come," and those which are urging
them to "stny" away from Ood. lteth
nhnrn was probably two miles from
the fords of the Jordan, where Joha
baptized. Jesus was thirty years old,'
Just entering upon his ministry. Ti
berius Cnesar was the emperor and
I'ontius l'llate the governor of Judea.
I. The Son of Man Attracts Men.
(vv. oM-39) not by his ethical teachings
nor aloue by his works and his charac
ter, but what he was and inspired la
others attracted men to Jesus (John 10:
41). Crowds still gathered nround the
bnptlzer who "chnnged the hearts of
men os by a Kpell." John, the Hap
tlzer, brought terror to men. He broke
through the crust of self -righteousness
and Indifference, ami compelled men
to see their need of forgiveness and
of a new life, but the time had come'
when John rnut step aside, and Jesus
"to Increase," to begin hU ministry.
Four successive days are noticed la
this chapter. Andrew (v. 40), and
doubtless the apostle John, who wrote
this account, were the two disciples
(v. 85) to whom John, the Ilnptlzer,
speaks. It Is Interesting to note the
different kinds of men who were at
tracted to Jesus; the aggressive I'eter,
the reflective Thomas, the practical
Jtnlus. He had whnt the souls of
men needed, and they followed, hlra.
Aware of their questioning, Jesus
turns to them with the question:
"What think Je?" the first recorded
words of his public ministry. This Is
n great testing question of every .man's
life. What Is the aim und purpose of ,
your life? Jesus, the kingdom of God,
goodncKM, righteousness, usefulness or
on the other bund selfishness, worldll
tiess, success, ambition, money, pleas
ure? These disciples who had listened
to this testimony of the bnptlzer, re
plied that they wanted to know where
lie dwelt, implying thnt they would
like to tall; with him ond discuss the
problems which were arising In their
minds. Three steps of Christian expe
rience ore here suggested. These two
disciples heard, they looked and they,
followed. Oilier steps must come
shortly, but we imwt first look at Jesus
as, the, Jliinb,.if..v nre to follow him
as our example. We must believe1
what he hns done (l!om. 3:25) before
we can nsk what would Jesus do or
try to Imitate him. It Is by following
that we demonstrate that we huve real
ly looked unto him and been saved.
II. The Son of Man Caret for His
Own. (vv. .".'.Ml'). Tlitf Instruction
which they r -ived from abiding with,
him Impelled them, as we have already
indicated, to go out and spread the
good uews. The greatest act In the
life of Andrew wus the bringing of his
brother I'eter to Jesus. Jesus changed
I'etcr's nnme, and gave him a proph
ecy of Ids future life and carter. He
saw the possibilities within him.
though it took much Instruction, bitter
MM rienees, prayer and long abiding
with Jesus before he attained to those
MsKihiiitlcK. It Is this passage which
gave rise to the organization of the
r.rotherhood of St. Andrew, which has
adopted, first, the "Itule of Trayer,"
that of daily prayer for the spread of
Christ's klns'loin nmoiig young men;
second. "The Kule of Service," to
make an earnest effort each week to
bring at least one young man within
the homing of the gospel of Jesus
Christ. On the morrow Jesus would
go forth to 0:ilihe, that is to the East
side, across the Jordan river, and on
the way he found l'hllip. It was Thlllp
who asked the question, "Show us the
Father," and of whom the question
was nsked as to the resources suffi
cient to feed the hungering multitude
(John fl:'i). John, the Evangelist,
alone tells us about Philip. I'hlllp saw
not only the resources of J ?sus, but he
saw a union of the law of vhe prophet
(v. 43) In this Jesus, and therefore
could and did Invite his brother to
Jesus.
Christianity would soon fill the earth
if Christians would put forth the per
soual effort here suggested.
Nathaniel (v. 4) repeated a proverb
of the country, "Can any good thing
come out of Nazareth?" Philip's reply
was: "Come ond see," and to his
amazement Jesus reveals not only his
character but his supernatural power;
whereupon Nathaniel's reply was:
"Thou art the Son of God. the King
of Israel" (v. 40). Jesus, seeing his
faith, promised that he should Bee still
greater things (vv. 50, 51).
EveryboJy in this lesson who found
Jesus seemed to go at once for sorue-
one else, and though some were scep
tical, yet their scepticism ended, even
as Nathaniel's, la following hlin, ;
