The International Sunday School Lesson for March 2nd Is: "The Revival Under S8amuel."--I. 8amuel, Chapters 1-7. By WILLIAM T. ELLIS. In our luxurious, enervated age we are exalting the "cave man." By way of the motion pictures and hack-written fiction, our oyver-soft 'young people are glorifying brute strength, unconventional manners, and gorilla conduct, Of course, it 'fg all an absurd pose of a period im- perilled by effeminacy: But it akes timely this study of Samuel, _'a gentle man, who was quiet and | good and free from all swagger and bluster; but so genuinely strong {that his touch turned a nation, and 'his place in the gallery of immor- tals is that of a king-maker. New times call for new men. In 'this lesson we study a different sort of character, unlike any of the fother Old Testament patriarchs who . 'have for two months past engaged our thought. Samuel! was neither ..& ploneer nor a fighter. He was not of the Abraham type, or of the {Moses "type, nor yet of the Joshua . type, His: was the mediatorial icharacter, suited to a transition itime. A priest and a prophet, irather than a reformer, was this 2 imost beautiful of Old Testament notables. He was a "good" man, as well as a strong man. ' It {gs Important in the training for youth that they understand the "real greatness of serenity and spir- tual strength. Contrast Woodrow 'Wilson, the ever-courteous scholar, with some of his noisy contempor- iaries; and note the judgment which the world has already pronounced upon them. { Some shallow speakers upon haracter and Christianity are ac- stomed to sneer at the "good" an, as if goodness were synony- ous with weakness. "A moment's the epigram, "All men are ruled by the saint." It is more important to be good---genuinely, unconsciously good--than it is to be famous or mighty or "strong." "There falls upon my paper as I write the bright reflection of a friend who has recently inherited the crown of righteousness, Rev. George A. Marr, a Samuel-like char- acter, gifted in goodness, a media- torial man, a saint whose strength was concealed only from the undis- criminating by his smiling sweet- ness and his tender helpfulness. Thank God, every community has more of such than of the aggres- sive gelf-seekers. Is there a parent reading these lines who does not covet for his son first of all that he may be a good man? For mature experience of life makes clear that the real prizes of life 80 to those who are great in goodness. When a Nation Needed a Leader. As naturally as a neighborhood turns to its man of most sterling godliness in a crisis, so the people of Israel, come to a crossroads In their history, looked to the pious Samuel for leadership. Is there any higher proof of "success" than to become the sort of person to whom folk in need and perplexity natur- ally turn? And is not this the natural and logical way to. find lead- ers for the state, instead of having the products of partisan machine politics thrust upon us? Israel knew Samuel. His story was the sort of tale that firesides love to repeat. It went back, beyond his birth, to the tragedy of Hannah, the childless wife; who married her sor- row to the house of God; where, af- ter a bitter misunderstanding, EN the aged priest, promised her an answer to her prayer. In many non- Christian lands I have seen the shrines where childless women go to pray for the supreme boon of the true woman's heart. When the babe Samuel was born, he was dedicated to the service of Jehovah; and early given to the Tabernacle at Shiloh. This, of course, was before the building of the Temple. With one of its exquisite human touches, the "I Bible pictures the devoted mother sewing a new garment for her boy, and taking it up to Shiloh at the: time of the annual sacrifice. In the Tabernacle service Samue! heard the Voice, thrice repeated,-- so patient is God!--that markéd him as in prophet-succession. Hearers of the Voice--men who get their wis- dom from God-- are the leaders for ~ every time of change and danger. The world was quick to note the revelation that Woodrow Wilson every evening read a portion from the Bible; and that his bedside companion was the familiar book. "Dally Strength for Daily Needs." It has seemed strange to some persons that their distinctive teaching of "the Inner Light" and of "the In- ner Voice" and of the soul's direct communion with God; has not been more earnestly pressed upon our time by the Society of Friends. Just as the Jews should nowadays stress Sinai, so the Friends have a unique mission in their historic doctrine of the Divine Call to the individual. An Airplane View of History. During the present six months the Sundays Schools are taking a sort of airplane view of the history of Is- rael. from Abraham to the Babylon- lar . «fle. Little detailed historical study is possible, but this is com- pensated for by the comprehensive vision. Last week we glimpsed the period of the Judges, by way of Gideon. Today we see personified in Samuel the transition period of the nation. Old Israel practiced hard the ever. popular doctrine of backsliding. From the days of deliverance out of Egypt until the period of the exile, the people were forever slumping back into idolatry, which was the besetting sin of the nation. Since our own temptations are somewhat different,we modern Chris- tians are inclined to be censorious toward the ancient Jews because of their aptitude for polytheism. In all fairness, we must remember their en- vironment. They lived in a world of countless idols. All of mankind except themselves worshipped a di- versity of gods. Idolatry was fash- ionable; and the Jews no more en- joyed being a "peculiar people" than ordinary persons today enjoy being "peculiar." So thelr national story, up until the time of the exile, was a succession of lapses Into idolatry and of revivals therefrom. Another major problem troubled Israel. On the Mediterranean coast there had arisen a powerful nation that was continually harrassing the Jews. These were the Philistines, who, by one of the perverse tricks of history, have given their name' "Pal- estine™ to the Land of Promise. It is now generally agreed that the Philistines, whose origin was long a mystery, came from the Island of Crete, which is at prseent part of Greece. Mr. Venizelos is the most famous living ; there are some who 'would gladly call him a Phills- tine; These hardy adventurers were THROAT Always an annoyance, worse when It affficts you at Eat You Ww HAMBERL, it g COUGH REMEDY Every user is a friend mm cm, a perpetual thorn in the side of Is- rael; and, at the time of Samuel, they were dominant. They had de- feated the Israelites, and captured the Ark of the Covenant -- which, however, brought such soré calami- ties upon them they had returned it to the Jews. Allenby an} Samuel. The battle narrated in the lesson, wherein the penitent and .purified Israelites were visitors, links up with the word war. Several times since the armistice I have been in Jerusalem; and it was moving to have a friend, resident in this city at the time, tell of the first approach of the British troops over Nebi Samuel -- the an- cient hill of Mizpah, where the Phil- istines were defeated. Despite the blunders of the politicians at Paris, (who cut up the Land of Promise in- to three parts, under separate sov- ereignities, none of these fragments economically self-supporting, as the whole would have been) we may not lose sight of the fact that a new era was created for the Holy Land) by the victory of General Allenby; quite as a new era was created by the victory of Samuel over the Phil. istines. Some day, let us hope, the world: will awaken to the real won- ders of the conquest of Palestine by the British: At present the talé is clouded by subsequent political mis- takes, and by the fog of rival imper- falisms. Yet the hand of God was in the Allenby successes, even as in those of Samuel; and eventually the glory won by the colonial troops, the Anzacs and the Canadians, will be revealed, - The Stone of Remembrance. When Mr. Kipling was asked to choose appropriate titles for the monuments in British cemeteries, in France (the British graves on the Mount of Olives are unimproved since war times), he 'called the cen- tral cross "A Stone of Remem- brance," doubtless inspired by that which the Prophet Samuel érected after the victory over the Philistines. This monument, Ebenezer, holds the message of the Lesson, the word for our own times. It is that "Hitherto hath the Lord helped us." Samuel recognized the great plus--God on the side of His people. Herein lies the word of words for nations; a word peculiarly ap- propriate in the light of the revela- tions that have lately been confound. ing politicians of two hemispheres. That word is that only by loyalty to God, and to His changeless standards of right, and so by His co-operation, can a people ever prevail and pros- per. If the Old Testament hoids one clear teaching for modern times this is it: Jehovah is a moral being, of omnipotent might, and He casts His power on the side 'of fhe righteous.

TORTURING NEURALGIA The Cry of Starved Nerves for Rich, Red Blood. Most people associate neuralgia with a pain in the head or face, but neuralgia may affect any nerve in: the body. Different names are given to it when it affects certain nerves. Thus neuralgia of the sciatic nerve is called sciatica, but the character of the diseace and the nature of the pain are the same; the cause is the same and the remedy, to be effective, must be the same. The pain of neuralgia is the cry of starved nerves for nourishment. Nor- mally the blood feeds the nerves, but if it'is thin and weak, it cannot do so. Hence neuralgia and other nerve dis- orders. Build up and enrich your thin blood with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and you are attacking neuralgia at i root. These pills supply to the bloo just the elements that the nerves need, and they have been proved to be the best possible remedy for the treatment of neuralgia, sciatica, neu- -ritis, and In fact, for all diseases that owe their origin to weak nerves. You can-get Dr. Willlams' Pink Pills through any dealer in medicine, or by mail at 50c. a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brock- ville, Ont.

"The Eskimo is just as much en- titled to a decent hanging as a white man," Ells indignantly declared. He named a resident of Verdun as one of the two amateur hangmen who executed Benny Swim in such a man- ner as to arouse a wave of public opinion throughout Eastern Canada. "Now the Federal authorities have sent this man with the judicial party into Herschell Island to hang the two Eskimos sentenced to death there for murder," he declared. *I think that this shows extreme care- lessness and inhumanity on the part of,the Federal authorities."
