AUGUST 7, im REACHING THE SPOT] ft Has Been Done, So Scores of Clin ton Citizens Say. 1 To get rid of an aching back, The sharp twinges. The tred-out feelings, You must reach the spot—get at the cause. In many cases ’tis the kidneys. Doan’s Pills are for weak kidneys. Clinton citizens testify. Ask your neighbor! ■ Mrs. Nannie E. Finney, 66 Florida JSL, says: “My kidneys were out of condition and caused me to feel miser able and all run down. There was a constant bearing-down ache across my back and I was nervous and dizzy. My kidneys didp’t act right either. I got a supply of Doan’s Pills from Young’s Pharmacy and they put my kidneys in good condition and cured the backache.” (Statement given May 8, 1918). On January 21, 1922, Mrs. Finney said: “I haven’t used a kidney medi cine since Doan’s cured me several years ago. Because of the good they did me, I gladly confirm my former endorsement.” Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Pills—the same that Mrs. Fin ney had.

Davis means to hold the short speech record, a wise, almost pious resolution. He will “accept” his nomination in only four thousand words of talk. Great moderation and self-control, you say.

For brevity and Twauty, candf»- dates, editors, and especially adver tisement writers should study the Bi ble, especially Genesis, Job, Isaiah, and the Sermon on the Mount. Any Presidential candidate might make an acceptance speech pleasing to 99 in 100 in three words, as follows: “MEN ABOVE DOLLARS.” Salesmen are. pouring into the Northwest RistiictS to sell goods that stores will soon be selling, thanks to high prices for wheat. Stocks are going up, especially railroad stocks. That has importance for everybody. It means that good intelligent observers see good times ahead. Railroads seem to be the “lambs” of our government, and it remem bers the injunction “Feed my lambs.” Recently, when the farmer was practically bankrupt, dozens of banks in the Northwest closing their doors, etc , it was suggested that railroads might reduce freight rates, at least on farm products. But with wheat going up, the In terstate Commerce Commission says the value of farm crops will increase a thousand million dollars this year. Therefore, NO reduction in freight rates. The' cream, off the top, must go to the railroads. Suppose the farmers, for a change, are getting a decent price for their crops. The question involved is: Are the railroads charging too much? Not what is the farm making. Great and fashionably Trinity Protestant Episcopal Church, stand ing at the top of Wall Street, pub lishes this report: Last year’s income, $2,148,681. Present assets of that little band of followers of the lowly Nazarene, $13,329,053. You note. “Carried to renewal ac count, $186,762.” The young man (see Matthew, 19th Chapter) that “went away sorrowful” after being told, “Sell that thou hast and give to the poor,” probably sits in Trinity’s congregation, if there 46 anything in the reincarnation theory. Think of one Episcopalian church keeping on hand thirteen millions of undivided assets, while scores of the Episcopalian clergy, miserably under paid, struggle to make ends meet. The world hears with amazement of two French fliers setting h new “duration mark,” staying iip 37 hours 59 minutes 10 seconds. Put this clip ping away for your great-grandchild ren. They will see a round a world machine, coming down perhaps once a year for complete overhauling, land ing passengers from smaller machnes above Paris, London, Yokohama, Bom bay, New York. “All out” And the trip all the way around will be made in twenty-four hours—only 1,000 miles an hour. There NEVER comes a time when a human being is of “no use to the world.” The Greek philosopher, ninety yean old, that killed himself because he stumbled on leaving his class, made a mistake. He should have said: “I may stumble, but I shall go on teach ing.” Every one can be valuable to the world by setting an example of cour age and endurance. , The other day in New York a young woman lay in a hospital with both her legs amputated. That was the price paid for giving birth to a child. SHE might have said, “The world has noth ing more for me.” What she did say, was, “I am delighted to lose both my legs, if I must, as long as I have my baby.” That’s worth a great deal to the world.

Marriage was ordained by God and the first wedding was sanctioned by His presence (Gen. 2:22-24). Indeed, He must have performed the first mar riage ceremony. It is not only honor able in all (Heb. 13:4) but when based on true affection It Is the highest fend best of human relationships next tfi union with the Lord. It. promotes the physical, moral and spirtuai well-being of both husband and wife and makes possible an atmosphere for the nur ture of children. Marriage Is not only un honorable relation but a wedding Is a most beautiful occasloq for all nor- mi:l human beings. 1. Attended by Jesus’ Mother and His Disciples (vv. 1, 2). The friends at this marriage feast were related to Jeaus by blood and grace. To be united to Jeaus Christ by the bonds of grace does pot Interfere with normal human relations but sanctifies them. 2. Attended by Jeaus (v. 2). God attended the first marriage on earth (Gen. 2:22) and Jesus, who was ab<fut His Father’s business (Luke 2:49), set a mark of honor upon every spring of human life by gracing this marriage feast with His presence. The Re deemer of man as He entered upon His exalted career thus lifted the holy ordinance of marriage to Its proper dig nity snd beauty. Man by polygamy, adultery, divorce and fornication has basely degraded It. II. Ths Anxlsty of Jsaua’ Mother (vv. 3-5). 1. The Wine Failed (v. 8). Al though tills was a trying social exi gency It seems to have been quite nat ural. The arrival of Jesus and Hla disciples put a drain upon the re sources of the host, for these guests were bidden after they had reached , ^ 2. Mary Presents the Need to Jesus (v. 3). The clear Implication la that she requested Him to embrace this op portunity to present His Messianic claims by working a miracle to supply the lack of wine. We may learn two lessons from Mary: (1) In our great needs, when our resources art exhausted, we like Mary should come to Jesus for help. (2) Let us not prescribe to Jesus the manner In wMch His help la to be given. While it was right for Mary to come to Him In her need, It was not her province to dictate how help should be given. 3. Jesus’ Assertion of Authority (v. 3). He respectfully reminded His mother that He bud passed from her authority—that His Father's will was supaeme. 4. —Mary’» Confidence (v. 5). Al though with calm dignity He asserted His authority, there must have been some sign by which He gave her to understand that He w’ould not fall her in this embarrassing emergency. 8h* directed the servants to be ready to carry out whatever Instructions He should Issue. III. The Water Made Wine, a Dis play of Jesus' Creative Power (vv. 6-9). A miracle is the display of the su pernatural. It is not against the law* of nature but the execution of Issues beyond nature. 1. The Measure of This Miracle (v. 6). The six vessels had perhaps a capacity of 120 gallons. Jesus is un stinted In His gifts. Twelve baskets were left over from feeding the Ftvs Thousand. 2. Its Freedom From Display (w. 7, 8). The mighty works of the Cbrd are not for display, not for the gaze of men. While not for display, It was so real that the disciples and guests knew that It was wrought by divine power. 3. Its Design. Its primary aim was to show the divine (lory. Though Jeaus would not use Hla divine power to re lieve Hla own hunger. He responded to the plea to supply the wants of othera. 4. Its Reality (v. 9). Tills was not a sham, a make-believe. To prove Its reality It was brought to the governor of the feast, presumably the bride groom. IV. The Surprised Table Master (w. 10,11). The excellence of the wine was praised by the rtf er of the feast j Christ gives, not only quantity/but quality.
