Lack of strength is about the first symptom of violation of the laws of health. There come nervouscess, unsteady hands anc limbs, skin eruptions, dizziness, slecpiessnefs, beart | salpitation, and with the feeling thafthe life | Llood is being sapped comes completa pros- | tration. Im this condition the indifferent to all things d looks upon life with a gloomy, melancholic view. It is given as a statistical fact that seven | out of every ten people in the United States wre suffering from nerve exhaustion, and of this number less than half realize it. They know that they have gloomy thoughts, a depression of mind, an impaired memory, Mzziness and headache, wakeful nights and spells of extreme exhaustion, but they attribute it to any other cause but the right one. They feel languid, irritable and restiess, the why and wherefore of which they cannot explain. They are suffering from nerve exhaustion, & condition which is adouin edly the means of causing more misery and crushing more hopes than -auy other trounle that flesh is heir to. Nervous exhaustion will mot cure itself. The sufferer who thinks that nature alone will bring about a'restoration of health fis simply deluded by a false hope. He will realize that (if the power of realizing is left him), when he becomes a hopeless victim to ohe of the many diseases which follow in its path. Those suffering from nerve exhaustion or loss of energy as a result of overwork, wental worry, or, violation of nature's laws quickly restored to sound health by Dr. Ward's special treatments.

Because John wes closest to Jesus on earth, his biography enab- les us who live today to get closé to the very heart of the Christ. This is the supreme commentary upon the Fourth Gospel---millions of persons turn first to it to find, in glowing, pulsing reality, the person- ality of the Saviour. With consum- mate skill, John lets us into the very secret of the Friend who is the .oul's Boon Companion, and who ur- derstands us when all others walk aside from us in misunderstanding 3: mehow, Johr intro- duces us to the ever-living Christ who alone can feel with us and for us.

Many books--a recent meaty lit- tle one by Robert E. Speer being one of the best--have shown that Fourth Gospel bears all the marks nf an eye-witness record. 'The allus- ions to timé, to places, to local usag- es, all testify to the intimacy of the writer with the actual scenes he describes. He was not only present wherever any other one : of longed to the inner circle of three-- but he also had a spiritual standing of the of the words and deeds of the Mas- ter. Although the most spiritual of the four biographies of Jesus, this gospel never becomes so transcend- end that it is incomprehensible. Mys- | tical, it is true, yet it never is un- real and unearthly and vague. In every vivid Personality is that which John portrays as Jesus; so that one | poet, Mary Davis, exclaims of Him: | "I am so glad He loved the common | things, / The drowsy chilks beneath mother's wings. their * Tall lillies nodding at the folks that pass, [ The handiwork of God among the | grass. "The sparrows and their brothers of the air, 'Content to look to heaven for food and eare. "He lgyed to stray by woods and inging rills, Companion of the stars and solemn hills. "His friends He chose from men of low degree, Tillers of land and toilers of the sea. "These things are written on the sa- cred page, A star to simple folks from age to age. "And as the glowing words of love we scan, We feel His kinship to the heart of man. The "Why" of a Great Book. Men who balk at the deity of Christ are coerced to repudiate the Gospel of John, For it cannot at all be accepted, unless the geader is willing to receive his presentation of Jesus as the One altogether unique. The sublime Figure who walks through John's pages is not merely a rare teacher. a noble idealist, a lov- ing and unselfish helper of His fel- lowmen, and a supreme aspirant for the life that is divine., He is none of these things if He is not also what else John declares him to be; for His own claims are clear, strong, un- equivocal and absolute. Jesus woulc have to be branded as an imposter, on the testimony of John, if He is not what His biographer asserts, the very Messiah of Jehovah, the Saviour of mankind. To set forth the Saviourhood of Jesus, and His divine mission as the sent Son of God, its the ome over- mastering purpose of this latest of the four gospels. The author leaves no room for doubt or surmise on this point. He himself tells why he wrote the book: "But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is tQ | heavy load | the | the | friends of Jesus was--for John be- | under- | deeper significance | Son of God; and that! it have life through the vol support of that general proposition. Passionate lover of Jesus that he himself was, John aspired to intro- duce his dear Master to all who should read his book. He sought not only to convince their minds, but al-| so to set their hearts aglow. So he has been, through the centuries, the pest friend and aider of all who would live in.the spirit; and experi- ence the very love and life of Christ Instead of musing here, as one is tempted to do, upon what this book has meant to the saints. of nineteen; centuries, let us merely recall the lall important truth that our own dazed and heart-bruised day needs above all else, to make explicable] these world events which are over-| | whelming us, the massage of a Christ | who is God; who has from the be- ginning and is to continue in in- creasing sovereignty to the end of time His will is working out, at sore cost, nations undertake. to protect and perpetrate the increase the principles of Jesus on earth | righteousness, zood will, brotherhood | and liberty As we come into Christ's Kingdom may we come into touch with the kingdom's | | Christ Fellowship with Him, and | assurance that His will is being | | done, will sustain one throughout | whatever experience the war may | bring close "My bark is wafted on the strand By breath divine, And on the helm there rests a hand Other than mine.
