I tried most every kind of medicine, but none did me any good. I read one day about Cardul, tho wo man's tonic, and 1 decided to try it. I had not taken but about six bottles until I was almost cured. It did me more good than all the'other medicines 1 had led, put together.

Dr. Jolm E. Whit? preachM a eerionn of striking interest to a very largo congregation in the First BaptiBt cUurch Sunday night. His text was "Enduro hardness, as a cood soldier of Jesus Christ." II Timothy :3. His subject was, "Do you wont to bo a soldier?" "A remarkable sons" Dr. White "aid, "is now being sung around the world. It is entitled, 'I.did not raise my boy to be a soldier.' It ls ? Btartling. refrain. It sings, tho up rising of motherhood against tho folly and sin of war. Something has happened, In the world ti?t entitled Chis song to live, invostlng it with a piercing appeal. W_-.t has happened? Why simply this. War ha3 lost Its glory, the soldier's trade ls in dis repute. The Idea of a man devoting his lifo to tue study of how to kill his fellowmen, the Idea of men, with only a. little while to live in thia world at the best, absorbing them selves in the profession of shooting down ono another, is a dying Idea la -the moral regard of mankind. It is doomed, as ah an-achronhi'a, which all the king's horses and all the king's men will never drag back into tho respect jof christendom. War hus killed, war, the soldier'- business has killed tho soldier's business. The deed was dor.?, and is being done in (Franco, in 'Belgium, in Poland, in Servia, and at the 'Dardanelles. War's false beauty has been torn off, showing the hag. >. The old glamour of tho soldier's trade ls overwhelmed and buried out of sight uudcr its mass of barbarism. Tho fifo and drum and (*gay banners strive in vain to enliven the/sordied brutality ot what ia ac tually the fact of war in the trenches, its hideous details ot brutalizing (hor ror! Once men stood up face to face on battle fields and died in tito open. Now they He down, burrow Uko moles, squirm under cover like snakes, crawl on their hands and feet like Jungle beasts. Chivalry has drop ped out of war with a thud. It has become, on its personal side, a sneak-j [_lngt sulking business, a ditcher's Job. Do you wonder us a little of the truth if t'.:e modern soldier's trade, and on-. | j ly a little of its actual brutality, has filtered out from the European w?r that a mother rocks her baby .boy to Hleej> to the .efrain, 'I am not raising my boy to be a soldier." From cbr re?ponjl?nco which could .not b?' pre vented, wo read the private letters of tho mon tn the trenches,, telling of thellaolllBh crulty, they aro compelled to endure and participate in and . we unow that- the Joy. of the soldier's trade is dead, its chivalry la. gone for ever. . The authentic story has Just been told from tho trenches, "In a.German trench facing a British trench, ?Sae | dorman soldiers raised a board paint ed with-the-words, The British sol-1 dler Is a fqol?' . This was followed immediately with another sign. 'The French soldier Is a fool.* The .Brlt lt'i and French"soldiers shouted lu derision at tho insult, but tho next sign, raised by the Germans read, 'We are fools,* This ls the way the.boys feel In the trenches of modern war. ?iy message to you tonight Is to nay j ttihat thiu -world has got to find a sub stitute tor war, a moral cgulvalent j tor tho soldier's business. As we j read "history and i observe human na ture, wo aro compelled to see that I ttis soldierly spirit is a grand thing. On this ground - the ->only avgument>j with a sclntlla.of sens? in it is rais ed lu behalf- of war . Every other I argument, and to some extent this j ono, has been buried by tho Germans. ' For instance if they say that war iaas ! 1>?an the xcetho? of human progress and point to progress for proof, we reply that war has depressed human, progress, hindered learning, annuled religion, and destroyed the'fittest of every nation on its battle fields.;Hu man" progi*sS has como In spiJ^, of I waar? more often!

It takes the ima gery of war in good faith, and opplles lt to man's salvation and civilization. It taken the bloody Lusinces ot Ute I joman soldier and along sido Boto up tile same courage and debatlesa valor Incarnate In the soldier of Jesus Christ. The ApoBtle Paul lived in dally contact with militarism. He did not shut hi.-, eyes to tho heroic and noble qualities of thu Roman soldier. But he knew that the basal ideal of war was devilish and utterly con trary to the Gospel of lovo and broth erhood. He saw as wo seo today, that the soldierly Bplrlt was to bo con served and the soldierly virtues per petuated. He stood up in the midst ol ItRorhe's marching legions and pro claimed himself every whit a soldier, abandoned to his cause, devoted to his commander, ready for the battle and hungering to die- for men and truth. Where did Pnul get this idea that there was something finer, braver, and mero heroic than the Reman sol dWu.trade. Ho got lt from God; ho got it fron. Jesus CUri3t. It was hts gospel', Ihe good ncwB to a war wrecked world. Christ showed him that it was courage of a diviner order I than Roman soldiers know, not to fear but to lovo men, not to kill but to die th nt man might live. The fierce and vengeful Jewish soldier of the sanhedrin, - he had been breathing out threatening and-slaugh ter, till ho met on the way to Damas cus tho divine soldier of God who Icu rca him nbt, and who having died on a cross at Jerusalem for love'o dear sake wos'-m'Ife'i-.tier than' he, a soldier indeed. .He.sfoll down and worshipped at tho feet of Him, a soldier of hato surrendered to'tho soldicrhood of Christ.
