Whistler Couldn’t Pass Up
Opportunity to Use Bailiffs
Mrs. A. M. Moncrieff, who has
just celebrated her eighty-eighth
birthday, knew many of the great
Victorians in the days when, as
Nita Gaetano, she was a celebrat-
ed singer— and tells some good
stories about them.
Once she dined with Whistler,
the famous artist, whose pictures
now sell for fabulous sums. Two
manservants were waiting at
table.
“You must be doing well, sell-
ing a lot of paintings,” she re-
marked, a little surprised that
Whistler should “splash” in this
way.
“No,” whispered her host.
“They’re bailiffs. I thought they
might as well be doing something
useful.”
CALOMEL NIGHT
NOWAPLEASURE
The old time calomel was the
doctor’s favorite remedy for bilious-
ness or so-called “Torpid Liver,” so
prevalent in hot weather, but it had
some serious drawbacks from the
standpoint of the patient. The
nauseating and sickening after-
effects and the necessity to follow
it with a dose of Epsom salts made
many of us hate to take it. Now you
can really enjoy your calomel, for
Calotabs make calomel-taking a
pleasure. They give you the com-
bined effects of calomel and salts,
helping Nature to expel the sour,
stagnant bile and washing it out of
the system.
One or two Calotabs at bedtime
with a glass of water or sweet milk,
—that’s all. Next morning your
system feels clean and refreshed,
your head is clear, your spirit bright,
and you are feeling fine with a
hearty appetite for breakfast. Eat
what you wish and go about your
work or pleasure.
Genuine Calotabs are sold only in
checker-board (black and white) pack-
■ ages bearing the trade mark "Calotabs."
Refuse imitations. Family package only
twenty-five cents; , trial package ten
cents, at your dealer’s. (Adv.)
Profit in the Future
Let him who regrets a loss of
time make proper use of that
which is to come in the future.—
O’Connell.

Perennial Refugee
Legislation dealing with neutrality and its allied subjects will face
the present special session of congress called by proclamation of Presi-
dent Roosevelt. Despite the chief executive’s previously expressed wish
that the senate and house act quickly on his request for repeal of the arms
embargo and then go home, attempts are being made to broaden discus-
sion of non-emergency legislation.

Christ is coming! Christ has come!
Christ is coming again! All three of
these great truths are declared by
Holy Scripture. In our lesson for
today we study the prophecy of His
birth which was given by Isaiah
about 750 years before the event
took place, and with it we find many
beautiful details concerning His
blessed character and accomplish-
ments. It is entirely appropriate that
the lesson for today should be taken
from the Old Testament1 and relate
to the prophecy of the coming of the
Messianic King, thus binding to-
gether the Old, and the New Testa-
ments. Isaiah’s prophecy prepares
us to study His life in the Gospel of
Matthew, beginning next week.
I. The Coming of the King (7:14;
9:1-6).
To us it is entirely understandable
that the Son of God was to be-
come flesh and dwell among us and
that all the grace and power of God
should be upon Him, for we know
that He did come in perfect fulfill-
ment of the Scriptures. But let us
not fail to note the marvel of this
revelation made centuries in ad-
vance through God’s prophet.
1. Born of a Virgin (7:14; 9:6).
He was to be born. Christ did
not come as a fully matured divine
being after the fashion of the so-
called gods of mythology, but He
entered our needy world as the Babe
of Bethlehem’s manger. What in-
finite condescension!
He was to be born of a virgin,
and so He was. There are those
who would minimize the importance
of this, or try to explain it away by
interpreting the word “virgin” to
mean a young married woman. The
late Robert Dick Wilson, an out-
standing authority, says, “The great
and only difficulty lies in disbelief
in predictive prophecy and in the al-
mighty power of God, or in the de-
sire to throw discredit on the divine
Sonship."
2. God with Us (7:14).
“Immanuel” means “God with
us.” Isaiah had a foregleam of the
incarnation which brought the eter-
nal Son of God into that God-man
relationship which was absolutely in-
dispensable if there was to be re-
demption. Sin had made a barrier
between God and man which man
could not pass, and only as the God-
man, Christ Jesus came through
that barrier to be “God with us”
could there be any hope of our salva-
tion.
3. A Great Light (9:2).
The Messiah was to break through
the dense darkness of sin and sor-
row to bring light and joy. How
gloriously that prophecy has been
fulfilled!
II. The Character of the King (9:
6, 7; 11:1-5).
The prophet foretold not only the
meaningful names of the coming
Messiah, but pictured in glowing
beauty the mighty things which He
was to accomplish.
1. Revealed by His Names (9:6).
“Wonderful”—that word has been
so misused that it means compara-
tively little to us. It really fulfills
its true meaning in Christ. He is
unique, remarkable, yes, truly won-
derful. “Counsellor”—in every de-
tail of life, great or small, an in-
fallible guide. “Mighty God”—not
just like God, or representing God;
Christ is God. “Everlasting Fa-
ther”—the tender and loving, un-
failing One to whom time does not
bring any change, for He is the
“Father of eternity.”* "Prince of
Peace”—He is not yet the ruler of
the nations of the world, hence we
hear not only of wars but of rumors
of wars. Mark it well that there
will be no enduring peace until He
comes to reign whose right it is to
reign, the divine Prince of Peace.
2. Revealed by His Deeds (9:7;
11:1-5).
Eternal justice and righteousness,
peace, wisdom, understanding, coun-
sel and might, the spirit of knowl-
edge and the.fear of God, unfailing
equity—all these glorious accom-
plishments are to characterize the
Messiah according to Isaiah’s proph-
ecy.
Has the prophecy been fulfilled?
We know that all of these qualities
were in Christ when He came to
earth the first time, but the com-
plete fulfillment of this prophecy
awaits that day toward which the
child of God looks with joy and
hope when Christ shall come again.
As we study this portion of our les-
son, our hearts should cry out with
John; “Even so, .come, Lord Je
sus” (Rev. 22:20).
To Gain Truth
Truth is never learned in any de-
partment of industry by arguing,
but by working and observing; and,
when you have got hold of one truth
for certain, 10 others will grow out
of it. The assertion of truth is to be
always gentle.—Ruskin.

In the early days of the rail-
roads, travelers often aroused sus-
picion and station agents frequent-
ly asked them personal questions.
But the Liverpool & Manchester
railway went further. Up to 1837
this road made each passenger fill
out a ticket application that not
[only asked his name, address and
■the purpose of his trip, but also
his age, occupation and place of
birth. -
