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 born 1 afflicted with weak kid neys. If the child urin ates too often, if the . wine scalds the flesh or if, when the child ' reaches an age when it should be able to control the passage, it is yet afflicted Vith 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 f 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.

Paator cf Jefferson Park Presby terian Church, Chicago Chicago, May 18.—In this sermon the Rev. Frank I)e Witt Taimage warns young people against the tempters who would lead them to ruin; text, Proverbs i. 10, “My son. if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.” No cathedral, it matters not how lofty the spires or how wonderful the 1 statuary or how mazy and bewildering the architecture, awes the tourist into reverence unless time has hallowed it Then the centuries have covered up the crumbling walls with moss and ' creeping Ivy; then Westminster abbey, with its dark, damp, dripping vaults, has become the sepulcher of dead kings and queens. In the same way no man has a right to give advice or tell us what to do unless gray hairs begin to fringe the forehead or he can speak out of bis own bitter experience. It is absurd for the ruddy faced lad to write an essay upon sorrow, when the only sorrow' he ever felt was the fright from the dentist prilling his first baby teeth, and what audience does not smile when listening to the schoolboy’s bombastic graduation oration upon “flow to Win Success?” No reformer can have great Influence in attacking a clubroom when be himself is so unsociable that the hearers dislike the reformer w'orse than they despise his teachings. Every speech, every sermon, every argument, every essay, must be backed up by the personality of the individual. It Is said that when John J. Crittenden arose to address a jury and ran his fingers through his long gray hair his ease was already half won. All Ken tuckians knew John J. Crittenden would not defend a client unless he himself believed in that man’s inno cence. You must respect the speaker before you can respect bis speech. King Solomon wrote with authority. He bad drunk from the chalices of pleasure. He had quaffed to the bitter dregs every cup of woe. He had seen the ups as well as the downs of life. He was no fanatic or adventurer. He was the king who sat upon the richest throne of the then known world. His pillared halls were lined with statuary. The fountains which played In his gardens moistened the throats of birds whose ancestors once cleansed their plumage or sang their young to sleep in foreign lands. His cellars were filled with wine of choicest vintage. The throueroom and judgment hall were circled by rooms above rooms. Near by were his harems, in which the king gathered a thousand wives and concubines. As the wit once wrote of Brigham Young. King Solomon was the most married man that ever lived. Not only was he great and increased more than all-that were before him in Jerusalem, but his wisdom remained with him. When two women claimed a little child, Solomon ordered his ex ecutioner to cut the baby In twain and give half to each. The real mother fell on her knees and begged him to save the child and if necessary to give it to her enemy. Then said Solomon: “She is the true mother. Give her the child-." As a gardener, he knew all about flow ers; as an equestrian, ail about horses; as an architect, all about buildings. He made the ant our teacher. As a mer chant, he lingered in the busy marts to tell us how to trade. Today, amid wealth and power, within sound of clinking tankards of gold and rumbling chariot wheels, the old sage writes an eternal protest against sin. “My son. if sinners entice thee, consent thou uot.” Tbe Importance of Starting Right. Young men dislike to he patronized. Although willing to accost each other in terms of familiarity, we dislike old er people to pat us condescendingly upon the back. So today, as a young man.il thought you young people would let me try to interpret these words of tbe Bible. I would especially interpret them now, because many of you who Lave come from far away are for tbe Arst time living in a great city. You axe away from home, away from fa ther and mother. Unlei» you start right y«u will never end right “The glory af younf? meu Is their strength.” The sray to keep £bat strength Is to refuse to allow tbe sinful dissipations to aap the virility ot youth. King Solomon warns tbe young peo ple against sin. because young folks are apt to be thoughtlessly reckless. Tbay do not want to be bad; they have no intention of throwing overboard ail the past teachings of probity and right; they are naturally religious; they say their prayers when they arise in tbe morning; they say their prayers again before going to bed at night But they are full of fun and animal spirits. They laugh and slug and frolic just as a colt capers, a kitten plays with her tail and a bird flies hither and thither for the mere pleasure of flying. A full blood ed lad cannot keep still. He squirms and twists and whispers and passes notes in tbe schoolroom. He does about everything that tbe teacher tells him not to do. If you ask him why he does thus, be could not answer. What schoolboy when out in tbe country baa not tried to see bow near be could skate to tbe airhole in tbe ice? What boy has not fished when standing upon a rolling log or has not tried to walk across a dangerous trestle or has not climbed a steep precipice until his brain was dizzy with vertigo? What boy has not tried to swim across a riv er merely because tbe older boys said he con Id not? When Benedict Arnold waa a young man, he would cntch hold of the spokes of the null wheel and be dragged round and round, in and out of the waier, merely to terrorize the miller, Who thought the hoy was going 'to die. When a healthy boy at Ilourdlng,school, did you not love to go rowing? Did you not pull tin* boat so, far from shore that when the storm came up it was almost impossible to get back? That is the spirit with which young people enter a large city. This is the first time you have ever been away from home. At the first manifestation of sin you were shocked and horrified. You were always accustomed to a sa cred Sabbath. You went to church regularly. But now you find that most of the clerks and students in the board ing house consider Sunday a play day instead of a holy day, a time for out door sports instead of sacred commun ion. Then you begin to grow hard ened. Instead of keeping your toe to the straight line of principle you are willing to make small digressions. You say, “This will not hurt me. and the other thing will not hurt me.” Now it will be taking a Sunday drive; tomorrow it will be drinking a glass of iieer or lounging about a poolroom; the next day it will be playing a game of cards for a small wager; the next day it will be going to a cheap variety show. Oh, young man. I beseech you, by the help of God, to resist these first yieldings to sinl It is not stupidity to be pure and good and upright; It is not cowardly to run away from the bland ishments of sin. The first wrong step may be the step over the brink of eter nal death; the first flush of shame man tling the cheek may be the hell flame destroying the soul. “My son. if sin ners entice thee, consent thou not” Avoid Danger. A wealthy gentleman once advertised for a coachman. To every applicant who came he put this one question. “How near can you drive a team of horses to the edge of a precipicp with out going over?” “Well.” answered one would be coachman, “1 can go within twenty feet.” “Well,” answered another. “I could go within twelve feet.” “Well,” answered a third. *T could go within eight feet.” and anoth er said. “Within five feet.” At last one applicant said. “If the horses amounted to anything. I would be sr frightened that I would take the other side of the road and get as far away from the precipice as I could.” "Ah." answered the gentleman, “you are tht man I urn looking for. I do not want the driver who runs into danger, hut the man who will stay away. I’ll hire you.” Who is the wise navigator—the helmsman who points the ship's prow toward the reef where hundreds of wrecks strew the coast or the pilot who keeps the keel in deep waters? Are you recklessly going to do that which your father and mother, tbe Bi ble. the church and all good men and all good women tell you not to do? King Solomon warns against sin be cause young people are apt to become despondent. Perhaps this discourage ment will be caused by homesickness The loneliest place on earth is a great city. In the country town you knew everybody, and everybody knew you While the village minister was preach ing you would he watching the neigh bor’s daughter, whom you expect souk day to make your wife. When you trudged away to school, every farm wagon which went by was ready to give you a lift. When tbe poor woman back among the bills was sick, your mother made up a package and bade you carry it to the house. That poor woman always greets you now with a smile. But here in this great city you do not even know the man who lives across the hall. Perhaps 3*ou say “Good morning” to him. but that is all. When you come home at night, there is nothing but the cold, uninviting bed room. You long again for the farm, foi the thatched roof of tbe old home stead. for the smell of the new mown hay and tbe sight of the cider presses vehemently at work squeezing tbe or chard’s blood into barrels and casks St. John’s wilderness of rock is a fit name for a great city. It is a wilder ness. and there are no wilder beasts of passion roaming among forests than some of the human monsters which live here. Perhaps your discouragement conies from Injustice. You may have been living in tbe great city now for two yeurs. You worked, and worked bard. Than came a vacancy in tbe store. Of course you expected the promotion, but another clerk under you who was not as bright nor as faithful as you bad influence, and he waa pushed ahead. Then you protested—and vehement!; protested. All that tbe manager did was to laugh and say, “Well, if you don’t like it get out.” You could not get out. You had oo place to go. You sullenly went back to the desk, say ing: “What is the use of trying? Hon esty is not the best policy.” M lf Slaaers Katie* Tbe*.” Perhaps your discouragement cams In a cruel way. You bad your foot upon the lowest rung and were begin ning to climb tbe ladder of snccess, when suddenly the bard times came. Tbe firm dissolved and you were dis charged. You are now not only looking for a new place, but you have to com mence all over again. Now comes tha warning against temptations. Now tbe old sage tells me to put the hand of love upon your shoulder and aay, “My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not” I give you this warning gladly and willingly, my brother, because these are the troubles which are fitting you for the mighty successes which are to come. Remember this great lesson— , anything which develops quickly dies quickly. The Insects are generated and ' grow to maturity in a # few hours, but they also die of old age by night The gourd which spread itself as an um brella over tbe bead of the prophet Jonah withered as soon as It wee touch ed ef the east wind. Tbe flower which bloFnoins in the spring govs to seed lie- fore tlio fall. It takes years and years to develop a cedar of Lebanon, it takes centuries upon centuries to bury u coal mine, it takes at hast out seat* years to make a man. and the more ob stacles you can overcome the more of a giant you will be. Only the gods can reach the stars. Man can become like unto a god if God is with him and he keeps t n stretching. There is a beautiful story told of a missionary who became very much dis couraged. No conversions resulted from ids work. He determined to leave his field. That night as he slept he had a strange dream. He dreamed that an angel had given him a hammer and placed him before a huge rock and said to him, “Pound, and keep on pounding.” He pounded on, but could not break the rock. Because he was unsuccessful he sat down and wept. But while he wept the angel again ap peared and said. “Why dost thou weep?” “Because 1 cannot break the rock.” “Then,” said the angel, “thou hast nothing to do with the results. Pound and pound, and keep on pound ing, whether thou hrenkest the rock or no.” The dreamer arose, picked up tbe hammer and smote the rock with a mighty blow. Lo, the rock broke! Solomon bids me give to you the ham mer of persistence. He tells me to point you to the rock of adversity, say ing: “Strike, strike, until the fires of heaven flash! Strike for your life! And keep on striking!" King Solomon warns the young folks against sin because evil companions are always the first to extend tbe right hand of welcome. The good young man sstys: "I cannot afford to associate with every one. 1 cannot go with every stray acquaintance whom 1 meet upon the street. I should live in tbe city ns I live at home. I ought not to consort with any companion whom 1 would be ashamed to introduce to my mother or sisters.” When you enter the store ns a fellow clerk, he watches you. By conversation he finds out whether or no you are a church member. He is too busy to gossip during business hours, and so it will take some time for him and you to become fast friends. After awhile he will Invite you to attend a night school or go to some lecture or meeting. He asks you what books you read and then offers to lend you one of the classics. By and by you arrange to take your vacations together. Then the good young man gives to you the highest compliment of his life—he asks you to come home with him and visit his mother. That dear old lady wel comes you as only his mother can. She knows your own home is so far away that it is Impossible for you to go there and get back to the store when the two holidays are over. Some False Friend*. But the bad young man is never hard to become acquainted with. He will slap you upon the back as soon as you enter the store. He offers you a cig arette or invites you later to take a drink. He stops you in the hall and wants to Lave a long talk. He is al ways loafing when the head of the de partment is away. After a little while he begins to make fun of your Bible. He ridicules you as stingy because you send most of your money home to sup port a widowed mother and five fa therless children, and then, if you have money to spend, be and his evil com panions will gather around you to help spend It if you will let them, as a field of clover tops will empty all the bee hives from far and near. But after your money Is' gone and position gone and health gone and honor gone they will care no more for you than for a dead cur in the street. The night you die the saloons will he as crowded, the glasses will click just as merrily as ever. At that bar which you now fre quent there will not be a tear shed over you. The day your body is buried the very friends who are now enticiug you away will gamble just as recklessly and laugh just as loud with others us they now do with you. and if necessary and they could find no other place they would be willing to gamble at your grave. Some years ago In Glasgow a team of horses took fright and ran away Tbe coachman was buried from bis box. The carriage was tossed about from side to side. With snort and lathered flanks tbe mad creatures ran on. Inside of tbe vehicle was seen tbe pale face of a woman, whose arms clasped to her bosom a little child. You might as well have tried to atop a thunderbolt as to atop that runaway. Down tbe street they came faster and faster. Tbe carriage grazed this post and that wheel. The people cleared the track. Suddenly from out of tbe crowd a man sprang. He waa dressed Id tbe common clotbea of a laborer. With almost superhuman strength he canght the bits of tbe wild animals. Though they trampled bh> underfoot and were beating out bit life, be bung on until they were baited. Tbe by standers helped tbe fainting woman out of tbe carriage. Loving bands car ried tbe poor bleeding body of tbe la borer to tbe hospital That night one of tbe finest mansions of all Scotland was lighted. A party was going on. Tbe guests and friends were congrat ulating tbe hostess upon her escape from almost certain death. In tbe ear ly hours of morning tbe neighbors beard tbe noise of aoug and mirth and merriment Not far from that man sion, in one of tbe public wards gf tbe boapital, a hero’s life waa ebbing away. It was tbe life of tbe poor man wbo (hat afternoon flung himself under tbe sharp iron hoofs. Aa tbe nurse waa moistening tbe dry lips and lifting him just a little, and as tbe gurgle waa Bounding in tbe throat, be asked. “Has abe not been to see me?” “No.” waa tbe answer; “abe ia at a party and can’t come.” “Ob.” aaid tbe dying man, “I did hope abe would think enough of me to come just for one mo ment” Such wiR be tbe indifference of evil companions after they have ; wrecked year life. A»e you ready to sacrifice ail that you hold dear for such friends? One day some gcatlcnien were talk ing to my uncle, and one said, “Is it not strange how willing the World is to kick it man whou be is down?” “No.” answered my rfhcle, “i do not think the world kicks a man so much | when he is down as when he is trying to stand up.” “My son, if sinners en tice thee, consent thou uot.” Kins Solomon’* Warning. King Solomon warns the young peo ple not to consent to slu because after we have once yielded we will never be tbe same again. It would be pleasant if we could go on sinning and then aft er awhile say, “I guess I will stop and start over again.” But we cannot say or do that. Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. If a man make a bed of roses, he sleeps in a cloud of incense. If he gather only the thorns, he must be lacerated by the thorns. After you have once robbed the firm will never fully trust you. After you have once wrecked your health you can never be anything but a suffering invalid. After you have once led an immortal soul astray and that soul has departed from earth to meet its judg ment at the bar of God you can never change its eternal destiny. Many a man today would willingly cut off his right arm if be could only change the past. He cannot. The past is forever dead unless that past can be changed in a heavenly sense through the mercy and the pardon of God. Make not the mistake which so many older men hove made of having a bad record dur ing tbe period of youth and then hav ing that record curse all the midnoon and the twilight of your existence and curse you down to the grave. During the persecution of the Hugue nots in France a father and mother had to flee from the city for their lives. They had to leave behind an only girl. Fearing lest he should not recognize liis child again, the father took a sharp knife and cut the arm of the child almost to tbe bone. Time passed on. The war was ended, and the father and mother returned to the French capital. They went everywhere looking for their long lost daughter. When the father thought he saw bis child, he would examine the arm just above the wrist. At last he found his child. He found her by the proof of a red scar. So Satan puts the fatal mark of sin upon every one of his disciples. Though we may repent of our past, though we may agonize before the mercy seat and ask God to forgive us our sins, though we may receive a heavenly par don. we cannot In an earthly sense ob literate the telltale signs of tbe past. We cannot destroy the earthly effects of youth s follies any more than a Lady Macbeth could cleanse tbe blood off her fingers by plunging them into an ocean of tears, or a Jean Valjean es cape Javert. the merciless sleuthhonrid. or a fleeing Cain wipe away the black mark written upon his accursed brow. The Voonic Man** Beat Friend. But the greatest lesson of this text is yet to be spoken. Solomon tells us not to let evil companions entice us away. But man is a social being. He longs for friends. He must have friends who will associate with him when he weeps as well as laughs, when be is dying as well as when he is strong and well. As Solomon bids you to beware of evil companions, i will introduce to you one who will he the best Friend a young man ever bad. Young man. you cannot afford to face tbe temptations of a great city alone. I’erhaps you know about this loving Friend to whom 1 want to introduce you. He was with your sister when she died. Well, you remember how* she smiled up into bis face. He was with your mother dur ing all her troubles In life. The last words your father spoke on earth was his name. That name—shail I speak it? Jesus! Jesus! Jesus! That is the Friend who will see you all tbe way through if you will only trust him. You must now make a choice—a choice between this dear Friend and evil com panions. This is a very anxious mo ment for many of us. It is an anxious moment for Christ as well as for you. One dark night a watchman fell asleep at his post and failed to signal the lightning express. Leaping to his feet when tbe flying engine.as a shriek ing monster, shot by, be saw tbe train disappear and realized that the draw bridge waa open and all tbe passengers were lost. It was too much for human brain. Tbe man went stark mad. Friends found him shivering and cow ering in tbe corner of bit room a raving maniac, muttering to himself. “Ob. if I only bad; if I only bad!” Here comes thundering along the limited express full of gospel invitation. Tbe train is flying with tbe speed of tbe lightning. What are you going to do in reference to Christ before it ia too late? Over the dark abyss of sin will you throw the strong, straight beam of tbe cross, or will you let evil compauious crush your hopes into rnina? Shall you be smiled at by tbe angel of hope or hissed at by the voice of despair? Will you accept this Jesus as your friend? Your loved ones, your Heavenly Father, your Saviour and tbe Holy Spirit await the answer. “My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.” (Copyright, 1902. by Louis Klopsch.] Announcements: Chuji, under tliiN henri will l> • insei ted miee a week until the primary for $5.00.
