% 4 Women as Well as Men Are Made Miserable by Kidney Trouble. Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dis courages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor and cheerfulness soon disappear when the kid neys are out of order or diseased. Kidney trouble has become so prevalent that it is not uncommon for a child to be bcrn 1 afflicted with weak kid neys. If the child urin ates too often, if the urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child reaches an age when it should be able tc control the passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause of the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose. Women as well as men are made mis erable with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the same great remedy. The mild and the immediate effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It is sold by druggists, in fifty- vsnt and one dollar < izes.

Revelation viii. 1. “There was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.” The busiest place in the universe is heaven. It Is the center from which all good influences start; it is the goal at which nil good results arrive. The Bible represents it as active will wheels and wings and orchestras and processions mounted or charioted. But my text describes a space when the wheels censed to roll and the trumpets to sound and the voices to chant. The riders on the white horses reined in their charges. The doxologies were hushed and processions halted. The hand of arrest was upon all the splen dors. “Stop, heaven I” cried an omuipo- i tent voice, and it s t opped. For thirty minutes everything celestial stood still. “There was silence in heaven about the space of half au hour.” From all we can learn it is the only time heaven ever stopped, it does not stop as other cities for the night, for there is no night there. It does not stop for a plague, for the inhabitant never says. “I am sick.” It does not stop for bankruptcies, for its inhab itants never fail. It does not stop for impassable streets, for there are no fallen snows or sweeping freshets What, then, stopped it for thirty min utes? (.Irotius and Professor Stuart think it was at the time of the destruc tion of Jerusalem. Mr. Lord thinks it was in the year 311. between the close of the Diocletian persecution and the beginning of the wars by which Con staiitine gained the throne. But that was all a guess, though a learned and brilliant guess. I do not know when it was. and I do not care when it was. hut of the fact that such an interreg num of sound took place 1 am certain. “There was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.” And. first of all. we learn that God and all heaven then honored silence. The longest and widest dominion that ever existed is that over which still ness was queen For au eternity there bad not been a sound. World making was a later day occupation. For un imaginable ages it was a mute uni verse. God was the only being, and as there was no one to speak to there was uo utterance. But that silence has all been broken up Into worlds and it has become a noisy universe. Worlds in upheaval, worlds in congela tion. worlds In conflagration, worlds in revolution. The Power of Silence. If geologists are right—and I believe they are—there has not been a moment of silence since this world began Its travels, and the crashing and the split ting and the uproar and the hubbub are ever In progress. But when among the supernals a voice cried. “Hush!" and for half an hour heaven was still, silence was honored. The full i»ower of silence many of us have yet to learu. We are told that when Christ was arraigned "be answered not a word.” That silence was louder than any thunder that ever shook the world Oftentimes when we are assailed and misrepresented the mightiest thing to say Is to say nothing and the mightiest thing to do is to do nothing. Those people who are always rushing into print to get themselves set right ac complish nothing but their own cha grin. Silence! Do right and leave the results with God. Among the grand est lessons the world has ever learned are the lessons of patience taught by those who endured uncomplainingly personal or domestic or political injus tice. Stronger than any bitter or sar castic or revengeful answer is the pa tient silence. The famous Dr. Morrison of Chelsea achieved as much by his silent patience as by his pen and tongue. He had asth ma that for twenty five years brought him out of his couch at 2 o’clock each morning. His four sons and daughters dead, the remaining child by sunstroke made insane, the afflicted man once aald. “At this moment there is not an Inch of my body that Is not filled with agony." Yet he was cheerful, trium phant. silent. Those who were In bis presence said they felt as though they were in the gates of heaven. Oh. the power of patient silence! AOscbylus. the immortal poet, was condemned to death for writing something that of fended the people. All the pleas in bis behalf were of no avail until his broth er uncovered the arm of the prisoner and showed that h-is hand had been shot off at Salami*. That silent plea liberated him. The loudest thing on earth is silence If It be of the right kind and at the right time. There was a quaint old hymn spelled In the old style and once sung in the churches: The race is not forever got Ey him who fastest runs Nor the Battel by those peopell That shoot with the longest guns. My fik-nds. the tossing sen of Galilee ; seemed most to offend Christ by the amount of noise !t made, for he said to it. “Be still!" Heaves has been crowning kings and queens unto God for niatiy centuries, yet heaven never stopped a moment for any such oei^ir- reiH-e. but it stopped thirty minutes for the eerouutiou of silence. "There was silence in heaven about the space of half au hour.” Heaven nn Eventfnl riace. Learn also from my text that heaven must be an eventful and active place from the fact that it could afford only thirty minutes of recess. There have been events on, earth and in heaven that seemed to demand n whole day or whole week or wl: ' • \ ar for celestial consideration. If Cretins was right and tliis silence occurred at the time of the destruction o» Jerusalem, that scene was so awful ami so prolonged that the inhabitants of heaven could not have done justice to it in many weeks. After fearful besiegement of the two fortresses of Jerusalem. Anto nia and Hippicus. had been going on for a long while, a Roman soldier, mounted on the shoulder of another soldier hurled into the window of the temple a firebrand, and the temple was all aflame, and after covering many sacri fices to the holiness of God the build ing itself became a sacrifice to the rage of man. The hunger of the peo pie in laat city during the besiege ment was so great that as some out laws were passing a doorway and in haled the odors of food they hurst open the door, threatening the mother of the household with death unless she gave them some food, and she took them aside and showed them that it was her own child she was cooking for the ghastly repast. Six hundred priests were destroyed on Mount Zion because, the temple being gone, there was noth ing for them to do Six thousand peo pie in one cloister were consumed There were 1.100.000 dead according to Josephus Grotius thinks that this was the cause of silence in heaven for half an.hour. If Mr. Lord was right, nnd this silence was during the Diode tian persecutions, by which 841.000 Christians suffered death from sword nnd fire and banishment and exposure, why did not heaven listen throughout at least one of those awful years? No! Thirty minutes! The fact is that the celestial programme is so crowded with spectacle that it can afford only one recess in all eternity, and that for a short space. While there are great choruses in which all heaven can join, each soul there has a story of divine mercy peculiar to itself, and It must be a solo. How can heaven get through with all Its recitatives, with all its cantatas, with nil Its grand marches, with all its victories? Eter nity is too short to utter all the praise. In my text heaven spared thirty min utes. hut it will never again spare one minute. In worship in earthly church es where there are many to take part we have to counsel brevity, but how will heaven get on rapidly enough to let one hundred and forty-four thou sand get through each with his own story and then one hundred and forty- four million and then one hundred and forty-four billion and then one hundred and forty-four trillion? Not only are all the triumphs of the past to be com memorated. but all the triumphs to come. Not only what we now know of God. hut what we will know of him after everlasting study of the deifle. If my text had said there was silence in, heaven for thirty days. I would not have been startled at the announce ment. but It indicates thirty minutes. Why. there will he so many friends to hunt up. so many of the greatly good nnd useful that we will want to see. so many of the inscrutable things of earth we will need explained, so many excit ing earthly experiences we will want to talk over, and all the other spirits and all the ages will want the same, that there will he no more opportunity for cessation. How busy we will he kept in having pointed out to us the heroes and heroines that the world never fully appreciated—the yellow fever and cholera doctors who died, not Hying from their posts: the female nurses who faced pestilence in the laza rettos: the railroad engineers who stay ed at their pieces in order to save the train, though they themselves perished. Hubert Goffin. the master miner, who. landing from the bucket at the bottom of the mine just as he heard the waters rush in and when one jerk of the rope would have lifted him into safety, put in the bucket a blind miner who want ed to go to bis sick child and Jerked the rope for him to he pulled up. cry ing. “Tell them the water has hurst in and we are probably lost, but we will seek refuge at the other end of the right gallery." and thttu giving the com mand to the other miners till they dig ged themselves so near out that the people from the outside could come to their rescue The multitudes of men and women who got no crown on earth we will want to see when they get their crown in heaven. I tell yon heaven will have no more half hours t® spare. Besides that, heaven Is full of chil dren. They are in the vast majority. No child on earth who amounts to any thing can be kept quiet half an hour, and how are you going to keep five hun dred million of them quiet half an hour? You know heaven is much more of a place than It was when that recess of thirty minutes occurred. Its popula tion has quadrupled, sextupled. cen tupled. Heaven has more on hand, more of rapture, more of knowledge, more of intercommunication, more of worship. The most thrilling place we have ever been in is stupid compared with that. and. if we now have no time to spare, we will then have no eternity to spare. Silence in heaven only half an hour! That Immortal Half Hoar. My subject also Impresses me with the Immortality of a half hour. That half hour mentioned In my text Is more widely known than any other period in the calendar of heaven. None of the whole hours of heaven is measured off. none of the years, none of the cen turies. Of the millions of ages past and the millions of ages to come not •ne is especially measured off in the Bible. But the half hour of my text I* made immortal. The only part of eter ally that wua ever measured by earth T timepiece was measured by the min ute hand of my text. Oh. the half hours! They decide everything. 1 am not ask ing what you will do with the years or months or days of your life, but what of the half hours? Tell me the history of your half hours and 1 will tell you the story of your whole life on earth and the story of your whole life in eter nity. The right or wrong things you can think in thirty minutes, the right or wrong things you can say in thirty minutes, the right or wrong things you can do/in thirty minutes are glorious or baleful, inspiring or desperate. Look out for the fragments of time. They are pieces of eternity. It was the half hours between shoeing horses that made EliLu Burritt the learned blacksmith, the half hours between professional calls as a physician that made Abercrombie the Christian phi losopher. the half hours between his duties as schoolmaster that made Sal mon P. Chase chief justice, the half hours between shoe lasts that made Henry W ilson vice president of the United States, the half hours between canal boats that made James A. Gar field president. The half hour a day for good hooks or bad hooks, the half hour a day for prayer or indolence, the half hour a day for helping others or blasting others, the half hour before you go to business and the half hour after you return from business—that makes the difference between the schol ar and the ignoramus, between the Christian and the infidel, between the saint and the demon, between triumph smd catastrophe, between heaven and hell. The most tremendous things of your life and mine were certain half hours. The half hour when in the par sonage of a country minister I re solved to become a Christian then and there, the half hour when 1 decided to become a preacher of the gospel, the half hour when I first realized that my son was dead, the half hour when I stood on the top of my house in Ox ford street and saw our church burn, the half hour in which I entered Je rusalem. the half hour in which I stop ped on .Mount Calvary, the half hour I in which I stood on Mars hill and | about ten or fifteen other half hours ! are the chief times of my life. You may forget the name of the exact years or most of the important events of your existence, hut those half hours. 1 i like the half hour of my text, will he Immortal. I do not query what you will «io with tile twentieth century. 1 do not query what you will do with j tills year, but what will you do with the next half hour? Upon that hinges your destiny, and during that some of you will receive the gospel and make , complete surrender, and during that ! others of you will make final and fa tal rejection of the full and free and urgent and Impassioned offer of life etermti. Oh. that the next half hour miiiht be the most glorious thirty min- utes of your earthly existence! Far back In history’ a great geogra pher stood with a sailor looking at a globe that represented our planet, and he 'p 0 ' ,,tr ‘d to a place on the globe whfre be thought there was au midis covered continent. The undiscovered continent was America. The geogra pher who pointed where he thought there was a new world was Martin j Beiiaiin and the sailor to whom lie showed it was Columbus. This last was not satisfied till he bad picked that gem out of the sea and set it in the crown of the world's geography. O ye who have been sailing up and down tiie rougli seas of sorrow and sin. let me point out to you another con tinent—yea. another world—that you may yourself find, a rapturous world, and that is the world a half hour of which we now study! Oh. set sail for It! Here is the ship and here are the compasses. In other words, make this half hour the grandest half hour of your life and become a Christian. Pray for a regenerated spirit. Louis XIV., while walking in the garden at Versailles, met Mansard, the great ar chitect. and the architect took off bis ihat before the king. "Put on your hat." said the king, "for the evening is dump and cold." And Mansard, the architect, the rest of the evening kept on bis hat. The dukes and marquises, standing with hare heads before the king, expressed their surprise at Man sard. but the king said. “1 can make a duke or a marquis, but only God can make a Mansard.” And I say to you. my hearers, only God by his convict ing and converting grace can make a Christian, but he Is ready this very half hour to accomplish it “Forever aad Ever.” Again, my text suggests a way of studying heaven so that we can better understand It. The word “eternity" that we can handle so much is an Im measurable world. Knowing that we 1 could not understand that word, the Bible use* it only once. We say “for ever and ever." But how long is “for ever and ever?” I am glad that my text puts tinder our eye heaven for thirty minutes. As when you see a great picture, you put a sheet of paper Into a scroll and look through it or join your forefinger to your thumb aud look through the circle between, aud the picture becomes more intense, ao this masterpiece of heaven by St. John in more impressive when we take only thirty minutes of it at a time. Now. we have something that we can come nearer to grasping, and It is a quiet heaven. When we discourse about the multitudes of Heaven, it must be almost a nervous shock to those who have all their lives been crowded by many peo ple aud who want a quiet heaven. For the last thirty-five years I have been much of the time in crowds and under public scrutiny and amid excitements, and I have sometimes thought for a few weeks after I reach heaven I would like to go down In some quiet part of the realm, with a few friends, and for a little while try comparative solitude. Then there are those whose bearing Is so delicate that they get nc satisfaction when you describe the crush of the cte'iiul orchestra, and they feel like snying. as a good woman in Hudson, N. \\, said after hearing me speak of the mighty ohonis of heaven, “That must be a great heaven, but what will become of try poorfliead?" Yes. this half hour of my text is a stiil experience. "There was silence In heaven for half an hour.” A filitiipMC of the IviiiR's Palace. You wi'.l find the Inhabitants till at home. Enter the King's palace and take only a glimpse, for we have only thirty initiates for all heaven. “Is that Jesus?" “Yes." Just under the hair along his forehead is the mark of a wound ,made by a bunch of twisted brambles, and his foot on the throne has on the round of ids instep another mark of a wound made by a spike, and a scar on the palm of the right hand and a sear on the palm of the left hand. But what a countenance! What a smile! What a grandeur! What a loveliness! What an overwhelming look of kindness and grace! Why. he looks as if he had redeemed a world! But come on. for our time is short. Do you see that row of palaces? That is the Apostolic row. Do you see that long reach of architectural giorios? That is Martyr row. Do you see that immense structure? That is the big gest house in heaven: that is “the house of many mansions.” Do you see that wail? Shade your eyes against its burning splendor, for that is the wall of heaven, jasper at the bottom and amethyst at the top. See this riv er rolling through the heart of the great metropolis? That is the river concerning which those who once lived on the banks of the Hudson or the Al abama or the Rhine or the Shannon say, “We never saw the like of this for elaritj and sheen.” That is the chief river of heaven —so bright, so wide, so deep. But you ask. “Where are the asylums for the old?” I an swer. "The inhabitants are all young.” “Where are the hospitals for the lame?" “They are all agile.” “Where are the infirmaries for the blind nnd deaf?" “They all see and hear." “Where are the almshouses for the poor?” "They are all multimillion aires.” “Where are the inebriate asy lums?” “Why. there are no saloons." “Where are the graveyards?” “Why. they never die." Pass down those boulevards of gold and amber and sap- phire and see those interminable streets built by the Architect of the universe into homes, over the threshold of which sorrow never steps and out of whose windows faces, once pale with earthly sickness, now look rubicund with immortal health. “Oh. let me go In and see them!" you say. No. you cannot go in. There are those who would never consent to let you come out again. Y’ou say, “Let me stay here In this place where they nev er sin. where they never suffer, where they never part.” No. no! Our time is short, our thirty minutes are almost gone. Come on! We must get back to earth before this half hour of heavenly silence breaks up. for In your mortal state you cannot endure the pomp and splendor aud resonance when this half hour of silence Is ended. The day will come when you can see heaven in full blast, but not now. I am now only showing you heaven at the dullest half hour of all the eternities. Come on! There is something in the celestial ap pearance which makes me think that the half hour of silence will soon be over. Yonder are the white horses be ing hitched to chariots, and yonder are seraphs fingering harps as if about to strike them into symphony, and yonder are conquerors taking down from the blue halls of heaven the trumpets of victory. Remember we are mortal yet and cannot endure the full roll of heav enly harmonies and cannot endure even the silent heaven for more than half an hour. Hark! The clock in the tower of heaven begins to strike, and the half hour is ended. Descend! Come back! Come down till your work is doue. Shoulder a little longer your burdens. Fight a little longer your battles. Weep a little longer your griefs. And then take heaven not in its dullest half hour, but in its mightiest pomp. and. instead of taking it for thirty minutes, take it world wthout end. Ei'.terlnK Into Heavenly Cltlsenshlp. But how will you spend the first half hour of your heavenly citizenship after you have gone in to stay? After your prostration before the throne in wor ship of him who made It possible for you to get there at all I think the rest of your first half hour in heaven will be passed In receiving your reward If you have been faithful. I have a strangely beautiful book containing the pictures of the medals struck by the English government in honor of great battles. These medals are pinned over the heart of the returned heroes of the army on great occasions, the royal family present and the royal bands playing—the Crimean medal, the med al of the mutiny, the Victoria cross, the Waterloo medal. In your first half hour In heaven in some way you will be honored for the earthly struggles In which you won the day. Stand up before all the royal house of heaven and receive the insignia while you are announced :<s victor over the drafts and freshets of the farm field, victor over the temptations of the Stock Ex change. victor over professional allure ments. victor over domestic infelici ties. victor over mechanic’s shop, vic tor over the storehouse, victor over home worrlments. victor over physical distresses, victor over hereditary de pressions. victor over sin and death and hell. Take the budge that cele brates those victories through our Lord Jesus Christ.
