Thousands Have Kidney Trouble and Don’t Know it. How To Find Out. Fill a bottle or common glass with your water and let it stand twenty-four hours; a sediment or set tling indicates an unhealthy condi tion of the kid neys; if it stains your linen it is evidence of kid ney trouble; too frequent desire to pass it or pain in the back is also convincing proof that the kidneys and blad der are out of order. What to So. There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp- Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passage. It corrects inability to hold water and scalding pain in passing It, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to go often during the day, and to get up many times during the night. The mild and the extra ordinary effect of Swamp>Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its won derful cures of the most distressing cases. If you need a medicine you should have the best.

Ve eome out of school and college oaded down with (Ireek mythologies nd out of the theological seminary .eighed down with what rlie learned '.others said, and we tly with wings o. agles and flamingoes and albatrosses, aid it takes a g«ed while before we an eome down io Christ's similitudes, lie candle under tlx* bushel, he salt hat lias lost its savor, the net thrown nto the sen. the spittle on the eyes of lie blind man and the ben and chick- •us. There Is not much poetry about this vinged creature of Hod mentioned In iy text, tint sin* is more practical and aore motherly and more suggestive ot ood things than many that Hy higher ml wear brighter colors. Site is not a rima donna of the skies nor a strut of eauty in the aisle of the forest. She foes tiot cut a circle under the sun like lie Rocky mouiftain eagle, hut stays t home to look after family affairs, die doe* not swoop like the condor of he cordilleras to transport a rabbit rotu the valley to the top of the crags, ut just scratches for a living. I urn in warm sympathy with the un- -retentious old fashioned hen been use. Ike most of us. she has to scratch f< r 1 living. Siie knows at the start tin* essou which most people of good sens .re slow to learn--that the gaining of a ivelihood implies work and that sue esses do not he wu the surface, but are ;o he upturned hy positive ami contin .ous effort. The reason that society md the church and the world are so full of failures, so full of loafers, so rail of deadbeats is because people ire uot wise enough to take the lesson which any hen would teach them that ;f they would (hid for themselves and for those dependent upon them any thing worth having they much scratch for it. Solomon said. ••<!«» to tin* ant. ;hou sluggard." I say. do to the hen. dtou sluggard. In the Old Testament O <1 compares himself to an eagle stir ring up her nest, and in the New Testa ment tin* Holy Spirit is compared to a descending dove, hut Christ in a set mon that began with cutting sarcasm for hypocrites and ends with the paros ysm of pathos m the text compares himself to a hen. Hstevkia of Tetnptatiuu. One day in the country we saw sud den consternation In the behavior ot old Dominick. TYUy the lien should be so disturbed we could not understand We looked about see if a neighbor's dog were itmulUig the farm. We look ed up to sec* if a stormeloml Were hov erlng. We could see nothing on the ground that could terrorise, and we could see nothing In the air to rutile the fegthers of the hen. but the'loud wild. nffrightiHJ cluck which brought all her brood M full run under her feathers made us look again around and above us. iyImti we say that nigh up amf far away then* was a rttpaciou5 bird wheeling round and round and down ui<d down. and. not seeing us us we stood In the shadow, it came nearer and lower until we saw Its beak was curved from base to tip and it had two flames of fire for eyes and it was a hawk. But all the chickens were un der old Dominick's wings, and either the bird of prey caught a glimpse of us or. not able to And the brood hud- died under wing, darted hack into the clouds. So Christ calls with great ear nestness to all the young. Why. what Is the matter? It is bright sunlight, and there can be no danger. Health is theirs. A good home is theirs. Plenty of food is theirs. Prospect of long life is theirs. But Christ continues to call, calls with more emphasis and urges haste and says not a second ought to be lost. Oh. do tell us what is the matter. Ah. now I see; there are hawks of temptation in the air. there are vul tures wheeling for their prey, there are beaks of death ready to plunge, there are claws of allurement ready' to clutch. Now 1 see the peril. Now 1 understand the urgency. Now 1 see the only safety. Would that Christ .might this day take our sons and daughters into his shelter “as a hen gatheretb her chickens under her wing.” The fact is that the most of them wiil never mind the shelter unless while they are chickens. It is a simple matter of inexorable statistics that most of those who do not come to Christ in youth never come at all. What chance is there for the young without divine protection? There are the grogshops, there are the gambling hells, there are the infidelities and im moralities of spiritualism, there are the had hooks, there are the impurities, there are the business rascalities, and so numerous are these assailants that it is a wonder that honesty and virtue are not lost arts. The birds of prey, diurnal and nocturnal, of the natural world are ever on the alert. They are the assassins of the sky; they have va rieties of taste. The eagle prefers the flesh of the living animal: the vulture prefers the carcass; the falcon kills with one stroke, while other styles of heal; give prolongation of torture. And so the temptations of this life are va rious. Protect the Yonntj. Fathers, mothers, older brothers and sisters and Sabbath school teachers, be quick and earnest and prayerful and importunate and get the chickens un der wing. May the Sabbath schools of America and Great Britain within the next three months sweep all their scholars into the kingdom. Whom they have now under charge is uncer tain. Concerning that scrawny, puny child that lay in the cradle mr.ny years ago. the father dead, many remarked. “What a mercy if the Lord would take the child!” And the mother really thought so too. But what a good thing that Cod spared that child, for it be came world renowned in Christian lit erature and one of Cod’s most illustri ous servants—John Todd. Remember, your children will remain children only a little while. What you do for them as children you must do quickly or never do at all. ‘‘Why have you never written a book?" said some one to a talented woman. She replied: “I am writing two and have been engaged on one work ten years and on the other five years—my two children. They are my life work.” When the house of John Wesley's father burned and they got the eight children out. John Wesley the last before the roof fell fu. the fa ther said: “Let us kneel down and thank God. The children are all saved. Let the rest of the place go." My hear ers. if we secure the present and ever lasting welfare of our children, most other things belonging to us are of but little comparative importance. Alexan der the Creat allowed his soldiers to take their families with them to war. and lie accounted for the bravery of his men by the fact that many of them were born in camp and were used to warlike scenes from the start Would God that all the children of our day might be born into the array ff the Lord! Tlie Mercy of God. But we all need the protecting wing. If you had known .when you entered upon manhood or womanhood what was ahead of you. would you have dared to undertake life? How much you have been through! With most life has been a disappointment. They tell me so. They have not attained that which they expected to attain. They have not had the physical and mental vigor they expected or they have met with rebuffs which they did not anticipate. You are not ut forty or fifty or sixty or seventy or eighty years of age where you thought you would be. I do not know any one ex cept myself to whom life inis been a happy surprise. I never expected any thing. and so when anything came in the shape of human favor or comforta ble position or widening field of work it was to me a surprise. I was told in the theological seminary by some of my fellow students that I never would get anybody to hear me preach unless I changed my style, so that when 1 fotKid that some people did come to bear me It was a happy surprise. But most people, accord!tig to their own statement, have found life a disap pointment. Indeed, we all need shelter from its tempests. About B o'clock on a hot August aft ernoon you have heard a rumble that you first took for a wagon crossing a bridge, hut afterward there was a loud er rumbling, and you said. “Why. that Is thunder!” And. sure enough, the clouds were being convoked for a full diapason. A whole park of artillery went foiling down the heavens, and the blinds of the windows in the sky were closed. But the sounds above were not more certain than the sounds beneath. The cattle came to the bars and moaned for them to be let down that they might come home to shelter, and the fowl, whether dark Brahma or Hamburg or Leghorn or Dominick, began to call to Its young, “Cluck. cluck, cluck!” and take them under tlie wagon house or shed and had them all hid under the soft feathers by the time that the first plash of rain struck the roof. So there are uuddejj ter.,pests for our souls, nml, oh, how dark it gets, and threatening clouds of bank ruptcy or sickness or persecution or be reavement gather and thicken and blacken, and some run f >r skelter to a bank, hut it is poor shelter, and others run to friendly advisers, and they foil to help, and others fly nowhere simply because they know not where to go, and they perish in the blast, hut others hear a divine call saying, "Come, for all things are now ready.” “The spirit and the bride say come.” Need of Warmtb. The wings of my text suggest warmth, and that is what most folks want. The faet is that this is a cold world whether you bike it literally or figuratively. We have a big fireplace called the sun. and it has a very hot tire, and the stoker* keep the coals well stirred up, hut much of the year we cannot get near enough to this fireplace lo get warmed. The world's extremi ties are cold all the time. Forget not that it is colder at the south pole than at the north p /ltgand that the arctic is not so destructive as the antarctic. Once in a while the arctic wiil let ex plorers eome hack, hut the antarctic hardly ever. Win n at the south pole a sliip> sails in. ibu door of ice is almost sure to be shut against its return. So Hie to mauv millions of people at the south and many millh.ns of people at the north is a prolonged shiver. But when 1 say that this is a cold world I chiefly mean figuratively. If you want to know what is the meaning ol the or dinary term of receiving the “cold shoulder.” get out of mom y am! try to ImiTOW. The conversation may have been almost tropical iov luxuriance of thought and speech, hut suggest your necessities and see the thermometer drop to 0 ) degrees lit low zero, and in that which till a moment before had been a warm ro-ao.

What people want is warmth. Many years ago a man was floating down on the ice of the Merrimac. ami great ef forts wen* made to rescue him. Twice he got hold of a plank thrown to him and twice he slipped away from it. be cause that end of the plank was cover ed with ice. and he cried out. "For God’s sake, give me the wooden end of th* 1 plan!; this time!"':;nd, this done, he was hauled to shore. The trouble is that in our efforts to save tlie soul there are too much coldness and icy formality, and so the imperiled one slips off and floats down. Give it the other end of the plank; warmth of sympathy, warmth of kindly associa tion. warmth of genial surroundings. The world declines to give it and in many cases has no power to give it. and here is where Christ comes in. and as on a cold day. the rain heating and the atmosphere full of sleet, the ben clucks her chickens under her wings, and the warmth of her own breast puts warmth into the wet feath ers and the chilled feet of the infant group of the barnyard, so Christ says to those sick and frosted and disgusted and frozen of the world; “Come in cut of the March winds of the world’s crit icism. conic in out of the sleet of the world’s assault, come in out of u world that does not understand you and does not want to understand you. I will comfort, and I will soothe, and ! will be your warmth, ‘as a lien gatliereth her chickens under her wing.’ ” Oh. the warm heart of God is ready for all those to whom the world has given the cold shoulder. Christ Takes the Storm. But notice that some one must take the storm for the chickens. Ah, the hen takes the storm. 1 have watched her under the pelting rain. 1 have seen her in the pinching frosts. Almost frozen to death or almost strangled in the waters, and what a fight she makes for the young under wing if a dog or a hawk or a man eome too near! And so the brooding Christ takes the storm for us. What flood of anguish and tears that did not dash upon his holy soul? What beak .of torture did not pierce his vitals? What barking Cer berus of bell was not let out upon him from the kennels? Yes. the hen takes the storm for the chickens, and Christ takes the storm for us. Once the tem pest rose so suddenly the hen could not get with her young back from the new ground to the barn, and there she Is under the fence half dead. And now the rain turns to snow, and it Is an awful night, and in the morning the whiteness about the gills and tlie beak down In (he mud show that the mother is dyad, and the young ones come out and cannot understand why the mother does not scratch for them something to eat. and they walk over her wings and call with their tiny voices, but there is no answering cluck. She took the storm for others and perished. Poor thing! Self sacrificing even unto death! And does It not make you think of him who endured all for us? So the wings under which we come for spir itual safety are blood sputtered wings, are night shadowed wings, ure tempest torn wings. In the Isle of Wight I saw the grave of Princess Elizabeth, who died while a prisoner ut Carls- brook castle, her finger on an open Bi ble and pointing to Ibe words. “Come unto me ail ye thK labor and arc) heavy laden, and I will give yon rest.” Oh. come under the wings! But now the summer day is almost past, and tlie shadows of the house and barn and wagon shed have lengthened. The farmer, with scythe or hoe on shoulder, is returning irom the fields. Tlie oxen are unyoked. The horses are crunching the oats ut the full bin. The air is bewitched of honeysuckle and wild brier. Tlie milkman, pail in hand, is approaching the barnyard. The fowls, keeping early hours, are collect ing their young. “Cluck!" “Cluck!” “Cluck!” And soon all the eyes of that feathered nursery are closed. The bachelors of the winged tribe have as cended to their perch, but the liens, in a motherhood divinely appointed, take all the risk of a slumber on the ground, and all night long the wings will stay outspread, and the little ones will not utter a sound. Thus at sundown, loving ly, safely,completely, the hen broods her young. So.if we are the Lord’s.theeven- ing of cur life will come. The heats of the day will have passed. There will be shadows, and we cannot see as far. The work of life will be about ended. The hawks of temptation that hovered in the sky wHl have gone to the woods and folded their wings. Sweet-silences will cane. The air will be redolent with the breath of whole arbors of promises sweeter than jasmine or even ing primrose. The air may he a little chill, but t4 !rist will call t.s. and we will know the voice and heed the call, and we wiii come under the wings for the night, the strong wings, the soft wings, the warm win^s, and without fear and in full sense of safety, and then we will rest from sundown to sun rise. "as a hen gathuvth her chickens under her wing.” Lear me! H w many souls the Lord hath tins brood ed! Mothers, after watching over sick cradies and then watching afterward over wayward sons and daughters.'at last themselves taken cure of hy a motherly God.

I cUi-i- t’if fit- !'■<• \Y.r:s. My text has its strongest application for people who were born in the coun try. wherever you may now live, and that is the majority i f you. You can not hear my text without having nil the rustic scenes of the old farmhouse come back to you. Good old days they were. You knew nothing much of the world, for you had not seen the world. By law of association you cannot re call tlie brooding hen and her chickens without seeing also the barn and the haymow and th? wagon shed and the house and tlie room where you played and the fireside with the big backlog before which you sat and the neigh bors and the burial and the wedding and the deep snowbanks and hear the village bell that called you to worship ar.d seeing the horses which, after pulling you to church, stood around the old clapboarded meeting house anu those who sat at either end of the church pew and. indeed, all the scenes of your first fourteen years, and you think of what you were then and of what you arc now, and all these thoughts are aroused by the sight of the old hencoop. Some of you had bet ter go back and start again. In thought return to that place and hear the cluck and see the outspread feathers and come under the wing and make the Lord your portion and shelter and warmth, preparing for everything that may come and so avoid being classed among those described by''the closing words of my text, “as a hen gatheretb her chickens under her wings, and ye would not.” Ah. that throws the re sponsibility upon us. "Ye would not.” Alas, for the “would nots!" If the wandering broods of the farm heed not their mother’s cull and risk the hawk and dure the freshet and expose them selves to the frost and storm, surely their calamities are not the mother’s fault. “Ye would not!” God would, but how many would not? When a good man asked a young wo man who had abandoned her home uud who was deploring her wretchedness why she did not return, the reply was: “I dare not go home. My father is so provoked he would not receive me home.” “Then.” said the Christian man. “1 will test this.” And so he wrote to the father, and the reply came back, and in a letter marked out side “Immediate” and inside saying, "Let her come at once; all is forgiven.” So God’s invitation for you is marked “Immediate” on the outside, and in side It Is written. “He will abundantly pardon.” Oh. ye wanderers from God and happiness and home and heaven, come under the sheltering wing. A vessel in the Bristol channel was nearing the rocks called the Steep Holmes. Under the tempest the ves sel was unmanageable, and the only hope was that tlie tide would change before she struck the rocks and went down, and so the captain stood on the dock, watch in hand. Captain and crow and passengers were pallid with terror. Taking another look at his watch and another look at the sea, he shouted: “Thank God, we are saved! The tide has turned! One minute more and we would have struck the rocks!” Some of you have been a long while drifting in the tempest of sin and sorrow and have been making for the breakers. Thunk God. the tide has turned. Do you not feel the lift of the billow? The grace of God that brlng- etb salvation has appeared to your soul. and.
