September 14. Lesson Xi--Jeremiah (The Pi of individual Re- ligion)--Jeremiah 1: 1.10; 14: 7-22; 31: 2734. Golden Text--Everyone of us shall give account 'of himself to God.--Romans 14: 12, ANALYSIS I. THE CALL OF Gop, Jeremiah 1: 1-10. INTRODUCTION--Jeremiah lived in the latter part of the seventh century 'B.C., a little Hare than a hundred years after Isaiah. The date of his call to be a prophet is given in chap. 1: 1--he thengenth year of the reign of Josiah, which would be B.C. 624. His work continued until af'er the fall of Jerusalem and the end of the kingdom of Judah in B.C. 586, cover- ing more than forty years. Like Isaiah, he lived in a period of great tragic unrest and change. Isaiah saw 'he rapid rise and expansion of the Assyrian empire, first of the great military ers which sougat to ruie the world. He saw the downfall of the kingdom of Israel and the exile of the multitudes of its people in B.C. ki Jeratniah isessed 'he rise of abylon, second world empire, the decline and fall 'of a, Rn the end of the kingdom of Judah in cap- tivity and exile in B.C. 586. With their uncompromising belief in the su- premacy of the God of Isra i whose poets of good were being ceasc- fore worked out in and through these changes in human affairs, and with their zeal for righteousness, justice, end clean living, they may truly, with their fellow prophets be said ito have, been raised up for such times as these. It is due to them, as true servants of God, that Israels religion survived the mations wreck and the rise and fall of ires, and is a part of our rich in- heritance of faith. The message of he prophets is vital for the present y. 1. THE CALL OF GOb, Jeremiah 1: 1-10.

It is not Judah only which the 'young prophet has in mind when he ears the call of God to high service, but the nations and the kingdoms. It is not surprising that he remembers his youth and distrusts his own pow- ers. But with the call there comes the assurance of vcivine aid--* not afraid . . . for I am with thee." His mission is to be destructive of what- ever has proved itself evil in the na- tions, and to build and to plant what is good. - Strength and steadfast cour- age will bs given for his difficult and heroie task--he will be made "a de- fenced city, and an iron pillar, and brasen walls." It is so in all genuine religious ex- perience; The response to Gods' call to service is certain to be 'followed somehow by the comforting and en- couraging assurance of his. presence, But the servant of God may have his hours of doubt 'nd darkness is Jere- miah lad. Exceedingly sensitive to the hostility which his messages some- times aroused and to the unbelief with which they were often received he was tempted to question and to doubt, as in 15: 10-11, 15-18; 20: 7-10. But the memory,of these first great promises remained with him and enabled him to overcome the temptation and to con- tinue with heroic steadfastiess and courage upon his difficult way, 15: 19-21; 20: 11. 11.

To lose surplus fat an average. gen- erally of 1200 calories of food per day | should be consumed for a person whose normal weight is 150 Ibs. + It is important to keep a calorie note book in which to mark down what you have eaten for each meal to be added up at the end of the day so you know ! what you have been doing. If at the end of the day you have eaten more day to make up for it. meals, no matter how small, and take a glass of skim milk or a cracker be- fore retiring. It is hard to sleep on an empty stomach. Do not reduce more than 2 lbs. per week; sometimes be satisfied with one. Reducing Is a matter of months not days or weeks. Get weighed every week on the same scale. The principle involved, so as not to suffer hunger pangs, is this--eat quantities of low caloried foods, eat sparingly of high calorled foods, but eat some of all of the foods. Your body needs them to keep well. This can be done by learning the food values of all the foods, then count your calories until you are nor- mal. A good principle to remember is: This number of calories eaten must: be decreased until it supplies 2595 | A charming vacation frock whose small cost will surprise you.
