A Perfectly Digested Breakfast Makes

Everything goes wrong if the break
fast lies In your stomach like a mud
pie. What you eat does harm if you
can't digest It It turns to poison.
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.
"I was Blow to believe that trouble
could come from Buch a simple diet,
but Anally had to give It up, and found
a great change upon a cup of hot
Poatum and Grape-Nuts with cream,
for my morning meal. For more than
a year I have held to this course and
have not suffered except when injudi
ciously varying my diet.
"I have been a teacher for several
years and find that my easily digest
ed breakfast 'means a saving of norv
ous force for the entire day. My gain
of ten pounds in weight also causes

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.

, 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

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

We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Oastoria would save a ma-i
Jorlty of these preoious lives. 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.
