What a year for listening:
Don’t be left out
PRESIDENTIAL YEAR! Politics
A popping all over the lot!
Remember “Twenty-four votes
for Underwood” four years ago?
Remember how you said the thrill
of that one convention repaid
many times the price of your radio
set? Remember what you missed
if you had no radio—or a poor one?
This year radio is playing a much
bigger part. Both parties are pre-
paring for a campaign inside
American homes—by radio.
Tunney is signed to fight twice.
Man! What a year—by radio.
And the programs NOW. To-
night! Tomorrow night! The head-
liners of music—of politics—of
everything—are on the air—NOW.
Don’t put off buying your new
Atwater Kent A. C., set until the
last moment before the conven-
tions. Enjoy the wonderful things
radio brings now. When summer
comes—you’re ready.
Get the set that’s always ready--
for a convention, a concert, a fight
or a frolic—the modern set—the
set that has changed everybody’s
conception of radio—that is going
into far more homes than any
other—the new, self-contained
A. C. set—the Atwater Kent 37.
Batteries can’t run down—for
there are no batteries. The house
current costs only a fraction of a
cent an hour. And the FULL-VISION
Dial, which you read at a glance!
How swiftly and surely and clearly
it brings in your station!
The modern, satin-finished cab-
inet is no larger than a child’s suit
case. The price is compact, too—
because public demand has per-
mitted us to effect amazing econ-
omies of manufacture. The pro-
gram you can’t afford to miss is
EVERY NIGHT. Listen with the
Atwater Kent 37. You’ll see!

Says Luckies Do Not
Affect His Wind
“When I first started to smoke I
was anxious to find a cigarette
that would give me pleasure
without taxing my wind or ir-
ritating my throat. I soon dis-
covered Lucky Strikes, I am very
fond of the excellent flavor of
these cigarettes and they keep
my throat clear and do not
affect my wind in the least."

I. Peter’s Confession of Christ (vv.
27-30).
Two questions of Jesus provoked
this confession. 1. “Who do men say
that I am?" (vv. 27, 28). This ques-
tion referred to the opinions of the
people regarding Jesus. Some believed
Him to be John, the Baptist, some
Elijah, and some, one of the prophets.
They all recognized Him to be a
teacher or prophet with more than
human authority and power. Jesus
was not content with this acknowl-
edgment. Had He been satisfied with
this He would not have been molested
in Jerusalem, for the Jews willingly
acknowledged Him as much more than
a human teacher. 2. “Who say ye
that I am?” (vv. 29, 30). Jesus per-
sistently claimed to be the God man,
the very Son of God incarnate. He
wanted the personal opinion of the
disciples concerning Himself.
II. Jesus’ Teaching Concerning the
Cross (vv. 31-33).
He charged the disciples not to
make public His Messiahship as that
would precipitate the crisis. The dis-
ciples bad much need of instruction
yet, to prepare them for the crucial
hour of the cross.
1. What He taught (v. 31).
(1) “The Son of Man must suffer
many things.” He suffered physical'
weariness and hunger, ridicule and
contempt and even misunderstanding.
(2) “Be rejected of the elders,
chief priests and scribes.” These were
the nation’s official representatives,
the very ones who should have known
and received Christ and recommended
His reception on the part of the na-
tion. Truly He came to His own and
His own received Him not (John 1 :11).
(3) "Be killed.” This announce-
ment was startling to the disciples.
They had not yet come to realize that
redemption was to be accomplished
through the passion and. the cross,
(4) “Rise again.” Though this was
utterly incomprehensible to the dis-
ciples, He showed them that this
would be the glorious issue of His
death.
2. How the disciples received His
teaching (v. 32).
So unwelcome was His teaching
touching the cross that Peter, the
spokesman of the disciples, rebuked
Him. Peter later saw through this
darkness the light of glory on the
hilltops beyond (I Pet 1:3, 4).
3. Jesus rebukes Peter (v. 33). He
told Peter plainly that his attitude
was due to bis being under the in-
fluence of the devil.
III. Jesus Going to Jerusalem to
Die (Mark 10:32-34).
Jesus went to Jerusalem with the
consciousness of the awful tragedy of
the cross before Him; the treachery
of Judas, the fiery persecutions of the
priests, the unjust judgment, the de-
livery to Pontius Pilate, the mocking,
the scourging, the crown of thorns,
the- cross between malefactors, the
nails and the spear all were spread
before Him. He moved on to His
goal, not by external necessity but a
fixed purpose. He had not only come
“to minister but to give His life a
ransom for many.” The joyous out-
look of the victory which was to be
accomplished through the shedding of
His blood .led Him forward (Heb.
12:2).
IV. The Cost of Discipleship (Mark
8:34).
The law of the Christian life is suf-
fering. To follow Christ means to
turn one’s back upon the world. To
repudiate the world means to incur
the hatred of the world; to be Chris-
tians means to share Christ’s suffering.
1. There must be denial of self
(v. 34). There is a wide difference
between self-denial and denial of self.
All people practice self-denial, but
only Christians deny self.
2. The cross must be taken up
(v. 34). This means the suffering and
shame which lie in the pathway of
loyalty to God. To live the godly life
means suffering (II Tim. 3:12).
3. Christ must be followed (v. 34).
This means to have the mind of
Christ (Phil. 2: 5) and to perform the
service of Christ. The blessed issue
of following Christ is a life of free-
dom here and now, and eternal life
nereafter.
Must Cry Unto God
It is not enough for the soul to be
tn need; the soul must also cry unto
God. Need alone Is the begetter of
despair, but need with crying is the
birthplace of prayer. The very dis-
tresses the soul is in are the birth
throes of such prayer.—James H. Me
Conkey.
Sin Is No More
Whenever a man gets to the blood
if Jesus Christ he is done with the
sin question.—B. B. King.

Appreciative Quail
A covey o. timorous quail leave
their native haunts and fly to the cen-
ter of Washington, Pa., to feed at the
home of Mrs. C. E. McClure, who puts
out feed regularly for birds. It was
only one quail that first appeared. It
flew away and returned with nine
friends and relatives.

To go to Palestine is a great stimu-

If Back Hurts
Flush Kidneys
Drink Plenty of Water and Take
. Glass of Salts Before Break-
fast Occasionally
When your kidneys,hurt and your
back feels sore, don’t get scared and
proceed to load your stomach with a
lot of drugs that excite the kidneys
and irritate the entire urinary tract.
Keep your kidneys clean like you
keep your bowels clean, by flushing
them with a mild, harmless salts
which helps to remove the body’s
urinous waste and stimulate them to
their normal activity.
The function of the kidneys is to
filter the blood. In 24 hours they
strain from it 500 grains of acid and
waste, so we can readily understand
the vital importance of keeping the
kidneys active.
Drink lots of good water—you, can’t
drink too much; also get from any
pharmacist about four ounces of Jad
Salts. Take a tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast each
morning for a few days and your kid-
neys may then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for years to help
clean and stimulate clogged kidneys;
also to neutralize the acids in the
system so they are no longer a source
of irritation, thus often relieving
bladder, weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in-
jure; makes a delightful effervescent
llthia-water drink which everyone
should take now and then to help
keep their kidneys clean and active.
Try this; also keep up the water
drinking, and no doubt you will won-
der what became of your kidney trou-
ble and backache.
Roses in Profusion
One thousand varieties of roses are
included in the vast rose garden of
the University of Texas at Austin.
Every known variety of rose grown in
Texas and many varieties from other
states are among the specimens in
this remarkable garden, one of the
largest in the world. The garden is
under the supervision of Dr. B. C.
Thorp, professor of botany at the Uni-
versity of Texas. The rose garden is
a part of the Texas Botanical garden,
which was established two years ago.
