A bright lady teacher found this to be true, even of an ordinary light breakfast of eggs and toast. She ays: I "Two years ago I contracted a very nnoylng form of indigestion. My stom ach was in such condition that a sim ple breakfast of fruit, toast and egg gave me great distress.

LESSON FOR JULY 28 THE WHEAT AND THE TARES. M:SSON TKXT-Mntthew 13:24-30: 3C-I!. GOI.nnN Tt:.T-"Ottlipr tip nrst Urn (nun, unit bind them In tuitnllcs to burn thorn: but cntlicr tlio wheat into my burn." Matt. 13:20. Tho thirteenth chapter of Mat thew's gospel is the great kingdom chapter of the lllblo. Seven parables In this chapter glvo us each of seven aspects or applications of tho princi ples of the kingdom. In this lesson wo are taught tho mixed character of the kingdom nnd also of the ultlmato separation of -two classes of which it Is composed. "A man," v. 24, goes otit to sow good seed In hlB field. This man we are told in v. 37, Ib tho Son of Man, and elsewhere that tho field Is the world, tho hearts of men. Then followed tho propagating stage, that period over which man has no con trol. During this period while men ato and slept awaiting tho time for cultivation and of harvest, the enemy of men's souls came and sowed tares, tho common darnel which so closely resembles wheat in lta earliest stages. After this propagating period had passed the man and his scrvnnts went out one day to find in their field evi dence that another had also sown seed. Tho test ot every 11 fo is tho fruit produced. During these earlier stages tho tares had looked so nearly like tho wheat as not to bo readily distinguished, but now that tho har vest time approaches tho difference is all too evident. It is significant from this parable that no blame 1b laid upon tho servants that they should aave allowed the two to grow up dur ing this first Btage. Surprise, anger mil disappointment stirred the hearts of the servants when they discovered the mixed character of the approach ing harvest. The master, however, clears them of all blame, for, said he, "Our enemy hath done this." Not an enemy, as the King JameB version hai It. Satan is ubiquitous, but the Son of God Ib greater than he, see I. Peter 3:22. Parable He Taught If the servants had sought to up root the tares they would In all likely hood have done more damago than rood, thotich this does not imply any conflict with Jesus' wordB as found in Matthew 6:29, 30. The seed had the same environment and in God's good time the separation should take place, bo "let both grow together" until both be fully developed. Then he will say to the reapers, gather first the tares and burn them, but gather the wheat Into my barn. Notice tho tares did not evolve into wheat Like begets like. Gather into bundles is the command. If wo sin together, we must expect to suffer together. The wheat was ripo for full salvation, blessing and a further usefulness, while the tares were rlpo only for destruction. After teaching these parables, of which this Ib but one, Jcbub sent the multltudo away and more fully and completely taught his disciples tho inner meaning of this parable. Tho field is the world, and if we aBk wo Bhall havo the heathen for our inherit ance and tho uttermost part of tho world as a possession (Pa 2:8). Tho good seed aro the sons of tho king Worn, but the tares aro tho bohb (chll Jdren) ot tho evil one. Both the Bona (of the good and tho sons ot the bad grow from, and develop out of seed, tho sons of the kingdom from the good seed. ' We must remember tho three les sons wo have been studying. The first concerned tho , nature ot the seed and tho soil; the second deals with the mystery of tho growth and devel opment of tho kingdom, whereas thli lesson has to do with the mixed. World the Field. Ab the Psalmist puts it (1:5), "The angodly phall not stand in the Judg ment, e. g., has no standing, nor sin- nerB (abide) In the congregation ot tho righteous." It is not our place, to gather the tares into bundles. God will send forth reapers (v. 30) and his reapers are the angels (v. 39). Tho tact Is we are hero warned against usclesB or profitless nctlvlty. Ours is to sow the right seed and then stand back and let God work. We are not even responsible for any process of separation, for God will take care of his own and in his own time will send forth his reapers who will do what we would make sorry work of attempting to do How often we see men zealously attempting the separation process during the propa gating and developing period, only to uproot the wheat with the darnel. Evil, wo are clearly shown, will not gradually disappear from the world, but on the contrary it will grow, de velop and bear along beside tho wheat until "the harvest." After tho harvest It will be all too clear which Is good and which Is bad. The language ot Jesus is graphic "cast and fling" ex press indignation and contempt; "fur nace ot Are" denotes the fierceness ot the torment ot punishment, and the "gnashing of teeth" nnd tho "wailing" Is 'a terrlblo plcturo of anguish and despair. As against this, ho tolls us that tho righteous shall Rhino forth free from all cloud or shadow. (SUMMER AT THE MATTERHORN Monster Mountain Has Claimed Many Victims Who Attempted to Scale Its Summit Zermntt. High up tho mountain side, nbovo Zermntt, in full vletf of that dread outllno which la the won der ot the world, we spent tho long dnys of summer. From tho small nat ural platform, directly in front of the hotel, It was possible to Include both tho opposite ponk and the village fnr beneath, in a single glance. The Mat tcrhorn reared his fearful form In mcnnclng attitude ngalnst the heav ens, an object of worship nevertheless, for nil his aspect of grim cruelty. Ev ery morning very early ho accepted my homage from otir tiny dormer win dow through which wo obtained a At the Foot of the Matterhorn. marvelous view of tho entire valley nnd Its colossal guardian, and by de grees there developed a silent but thorough, and I might even say, psy chic sympathy between us. , We were not so fortunate as to see the Alpine glow at any time, for It was not the proper season; only a tinge of rose appeared sometimes on the rugged sides of the Matterhorn. Aft er all It was enough to breathe the air of that high, free place; to run over the grassy rolling knolls behind the hotel, to lie down in the sunshine, near some weather-stained chalet, and to see the shining of the evening star, apparently quite close to the dark crest of the mighty mountain oppo site. One day we talked with a retired guide, whose fingers and one foot had been frozen off In the Andes, and who, In his day, had mado many as cents, among them that of the Mat terhorn. He seemed to consider the latter feat simple enough, and really very safe with due precautions. He was a fine-looking specimen ' man hood, barring his pathetically maimed condition; nn nlmost gigantic, thor oughly genlnl mountaineer, who seem ed to take pleasure in showing us his rcmnrkablo museum, with its Interest ing charts, relief maps, nnd photo graphs. Also, its painful relics of the numerous victims of that mountain conquering madness, which I, for ono, cannot condemn, since it seized, to some extent, on my own imagination, whllo in sight of those siren heights that call and beckon with n mysteri ous enchantment, from their frozen solitudes. There were nailed shoea and caps, knapsacks and icc-plcks, nil marked with tho names of their own ers who had lost their lives In snow storms, from avalanches, or from some treacherous misstep on tho edge of a precipice. There wero nn appall ing number of causes enumerated, but the chief reason for most of theso catastrophes seemed to spring from human rashness complete Indiffer ence to the proper season for such un dertakings, as, for cxamplo, attempts to scale the Matterhorn or the Lys kamm or lofty Monte Rosa bb late as October, at which time the chances ot blizzards and avalanches are very great.

Neither do we hesitate to say that many of these infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotio preparations. Drops, tinotures and soothing syrups sold for children's complaints contain more or less opium, or' morphine. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons. In any quantity they stupefy, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death. Oastoria' operates exactly the reverse, but you must see that it bears the signature of dim Hi Fletcher. Oastoria causes, the blood. to circulate properly; opens the! pores of the skin and allays fever.
