Thousands Have Kidney Trouble and Don’t Know it. How To Find Oat. 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 ^e back is also convincing proof that the kidneys and blad der are out of order. What to Do. 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 ma y 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.

There are some merchants in this community whose experience apparently contradicts the statement. The contradiction, however, is only apparent. If they have attained any degree of success they have advertised. They have let people know what they had to sell, what they were here for and what they proposed to do. Just in proportion to the thorough ness with which they have done this and met the conditions of their competitors they have suc ceeded. If they have used the newspa pers they have worked with the best tools so far as getting pub licity is concerned. If they have worked without the newspapers they have been handicapped and have not attained the highest possible measure of success. A fertile seed planted in fertile ground, carefully watered, will thrive and bear fruit. A properly organized business, in any inhabited place, well advertised will succeed. The law of growth is as certain and inexorable in one case aa the other. TALMAGE SERMON •t By Rev. FRANK DE Win TALMAGE. D.D., Pastor of Jefferson Park Preaby- terian Cnurch, Chicago Foley’s Honey and Tar ’urea colds, prevents pneumonia. Foley 9 * s Honey and Tar for children,safe,sure. No opiates. Chicago, May 2f>.—In this sermon the Rev. Frank De Witt TaImage presents In a picturesque and forcible way the duty of Christian fellowship. The text is Matthew v, 41, “Whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.” A keen, shrewd lawyer was one day listening to John Wesley preaching. The founder of Methodism had three different headings for his sermon: First, “(let all you can without hurting your soul, your body or your neigh bors.” “That is sensible,” thought the lawyer; “unless a man is continually reaching out for something he will nev er have anything. Industry is the foun dation of all success.” Second beading. “Save all you can, cutting off any need less expense.” “Right again.” muttered the listener. “It Is not so much what a man earns that makes him wealthy as what he saves.” Third heading, “Give all you can.’’ “There,” exclaim ed the hard headed lawyer, “the minis ter has foolishly gone and spoiled ev erything he has said. He ought to have had for his third heading, ‘Give as lit tle as you can.’ You cannot save un less you keep what you have earned.” So some of Christ’s auditors felt that he was preaching the most foolish of doctrines when he used the Illustration of the twain mile. They were ready to obey the Mosaic law’ of Justice. They, would assent to an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a hand for a hand. They would travel the first mile will ingly and pay every penny that they legitimately owed, but they were not ready to turn the left cheek to a foe after that enemy had deliberately struck them a stinging blow upon the right cheek. They protested against a communistic gospel, which allowed a thief to run away with their whole wardrobe, with their cloak us w’ell as their coat They would not enslave themselves to any merciless taskmas ter. For every day’s labor they must have a full day’s pay. Yet Christ's statement is strikingly true. It is right in reference to the temporal life as well as the spiritual. The willingness to travel the twain mile Is the forerunner of all true success. The unwillingness to travel the twain mile is the cause of almost certain failure. The twain mile is the place of test ing. It is where the powers that be choose tlie men who are to be honored in life’s service. There the human nice is sifted. There the faithful are sep arated from the irresponsible, the ener- getic from the slothful, the true man from the false, the self sacrificing from the selfish, the one purpose man from the indolent, lazy, shiftless individual who lives without a definite aim. The twain mile is the thrashing tioor of hu man life, where the wheat is separated from the chaff, the rich grain from the useless tares. Tlie Crowded First Mile. Most of the human race are huddled together and jostling each other dur ing the first mile, where tbey only do what they have to do. But In the sec ond or the twain mile of life’s journey, where a man does more than he is ask ed to do, he always has plenty of el bow room. As tlie great statesman once said, "There is plenty of room at the top of the ladder of success, al though thousands of hands may lie reaching for the lowest ruug.” Every merchant knows of the sep arating or testing influence of the twain mile. When a position in the store became vacant, whom, in all prob ability. did you promote to the va cancy—the clerk who has been in the store for ten or fifteen y< ars. the young man who has never been willing to do any more than he was eomiieiied to doV Did you select the employee who was generally ten mluutes late in the morn ing. tlie clerk who has his hat in his hand ready to run for home as soon us the hour hand points to tlie numeral 0V Did you promote one who seemed to be indifferent to his work and had to be watched day by day to be kept busy, as a mother has to watch a little child? No. The young man who received the promotion was the poor country boy who entered your store with no recom mendation except the willingness to travel the twain mile, the willingness to do more than be was told or paid to do. For years the twain mile young man w’as the first employee at work in the morning. For years he was the last person to leave the store at night. When the work plied up upon his desk, unbidden by the head of his depart ment he alw’ays stayed many hours overtime until the work was done. He was the young man who threw himself into his allotted tasks with such in tensity that he made his employer’s in terests bis Interests. . Who Is the leading memler today of the New York bar—the lawyer who when he graduated and could not find clients spent most his time In the neighboring billiard hall? The young man who txcume an expert in card playing or in Judging the races? No. He was the young lawyer who studied night and day and kept on studying. He was the young man who put his w’hole heart and soul into tlie smallest cases which came to him. He did not fritter away his energies, waiting for the big cases to command bis services. He is the twain mile lawyer. He does more than he is compelled to do. How Daolel Webster Worked. A noted case was to be decided in New York city. The chief counsel for the defense was suddenly taken sick. Within twenty-four hours Hie plea had to be made m fore the Jury. Daniel Webster at that time happened to lie stopping at one of the hotels. He was sent for to come to tlie rescue. The next day he came into the courtroom and made one of the dearest Interpre tations of the most abstruse facts of the law ever delivered before a judge, lie won his ease, and was paid a fee amounting to thousands of dollars. When the friends crowded r.rcunJ to congratulate, declai Uig that he had per formed a legal miracle, Mr. Webster answered; “My effort was no miracle. I did not prepare that address in a few hours. It took me months and months to master these facts of the law. The history of my plea is this; Many years ago, when a young man. I was engaged to defend a poor farmer. His case financially represented only a few dol lars. I think a fifty dollar bill was my fee. It wasasmall case, tint the points of the law Involved then were exactly the same as the legal points which 1 presented to day. I went to Boston and bought many books. They cost me hundreds cf dollars. I spent four exhaustive months in work upon that case. I am receiving today the reward of the mental labor which I expended for my country friend.” Mr. Webster was a tw’ain mile lawyer. He was willing to do more than be was asked or paid to do. The same facts which have been stated In reference to the clerk and the law yer are true when applied to the suc cessful physician, the minister or in ventor. They can be applied to the true temporal success of all men in every department of life. Now, God in the same way is testing the spiritual availability and the future usefulness of bis servants. He tests them by tbelr willingness to travel the twain mile, to do more than they are asked to do. He tests them by the way they go and hunt up the poor invalids in the back alleys. He tests them by the way they are willing to assist in some mission work. He tests them by the way they are ready to teach in the Sunday school and bj’ tlie way tbey take part in the Christian Endeavor prayer meetings. He tests them by the way the mistresses try to uplift the spiritual w’elfare of the kitchen and by tlie conversations the merchant has with tlie young clerk in reference to the salvation of the boy’s soul. My friend, you think your spiritual position in life is very humble, but you have a twain mile to travel. That twain mile, whether it starts from the nursery, the factory, the mechanic’s bench, the laborer’s ditch or the farm er's plow, heads straight up to the throne of grace. God is spiritually Judging you today by what you are spiritually willing of your own accord to do for him. The AnKel ot the Twain Mile. The twain mile has for a guide the angel of inspiring hope. The man who lives without ambition or without the hope of making something better out of Ills life is practically dead. He is like the branch of a tree in midwinter All its latent buds are frozen. Then the sap of life is unable to flow, but when the spring comes then the snow flakes melt away. Then the air is redo lent with incense. Then the tree takes on a new life. Later on, if the tree is an apple tree, its branches are laden with the golden fruits. The pathway of the twain mile is ul ways warmed by the life developing sunshine of hope. The young man says to himself: *T am ready to xvork years and years if necessary in an inconspic uous position. I am ready to work hard and do more than 1 am asked to do because I know that at last my employer will reward me with a higher position.” The young college student says, “I am ready to bury myself in r iny books and work hard because 1 know that at last there will come a time when my industry will be recom pensed as well as recognized.” Tbe young man is led along tbe twain mile of sacrifice tbe more willingly be cause as be walks hand in Land with the sweet angel of inspiring hope he reads the lives of tlie great men of the past. lie finds that tlie position from which some of them started to climb the mountain of fame and usefulness was often more bumble than that which he is filling. He sees a poor, ignorant colored boy standing before the billboard poster trying to learn bow to spell. Then be secs tbe ignorant col ored boy grow into the great orator, until Frederick Douglass’ name be * 1 * * * * * comes known over the civilized world. He sees a young man as a Sunday school teacher gather his own class of rough boys by going into one of the poorest and most depraved sections of Chicago. Then he hears of that young man. D. L. Moody, who was the great est evangelist of the last century. He sees Dr. Barnardo called to his great work by beiug led by tbe band of a street urchin to where fifteen little boys were spending a winter night In a coal bin. There tbe great human savior of the London street arab saw fifteen hungry urchins who were on their way, but for his rescue, toward the gallows, the penitentiary or the poortiouse. When the young man thinks of these great men, he says: “I. too, have a mission in life. I, too, can accomplish some good for my fellow men if 1 am ready to travel the twain mile of self sacrifice.” So tlie sweet faced angel of hope leads the disciple of Christ along the self sacrificing pathway of the twain mile. She puts the Bible into the dis ciple’s hand and says: “Read. Chris tian; read. That Bible is tbe promise God has given to you. God declares that if you will do what he bids you do you shall have your rewj. for traveling the twain mile for him.” Learnlns to Forgive. The twain mile is tbe place where the Christian traveler upon life’s Journey learns b.»w to forgive au Injustice as well us to forget. Forgiveness is one of the gospel Hue arts. It is the power which comes Into a Christian’s life which practically says: “When 1 have j n work to do and only a short time in | which to do it. I cannot afford to be ; westing my energies In foolishly nt- 1 tacking those people who are attacking i u.e. 1 caiiuoi. as a general. 1 >■ spordii ; most of my time in pursuing a few for- ■ aging parties when 1 ought to be ; marching on toward the great city of j Gospel Success.” Besides that, the I Christian traveler says to himself; j ‘T crimps I have not done* my full duty toward my enemies. Perhaps I have not been kind and loving enough. Perhaps I have not presented my Jesus in a clear, simple way. If 1 did. then I might change the foes of Christ into his loving disciples. I will forgive as well as forget. After mine enemy has smitten me on one cheek I will turn to him the other also. After he has compelled me to go with him one mile I will go with him twain.” This is not an absurd Interpretation to make of the Christian’s feelings in reference to his enemies when he is trying to travel the twain mile of for giveness. Almost without exception the truly great men who have conse crated their lives to a temporal cause have been able to drop the bitter per sonalities out of their existence. They were able to forgive as well as forget the personal injustices which had been practiced against them. When the north German states were being weld ed into the great confederacy of the German empire by the master states man of the last century, Prince Bis marck said to a friend during the dark est days of the struggle: “I must not think of what mine enemies might say or do. To attain this end i would brave all dangers—exile, indeed; the scaffold itself. What matter if they hang me provided the rope with which d am hanged binds this new Germany firm to the Prussian throne?” During the last days of the Southern Confederacy the southern army was fleeing toward Appomattox Court house. On account of tlie awful bom bardment it bad dwindled into a mere handful. General Robert E. Lee. one of the grandest characters in history, summoned a prominent.general to his side and asked him what he should do. “Anything. General Lee.” answered the subordinate, “except surrender. We do not want your enemies to say that you had to give up your sword. Bid the soldiers scatter, and we will Join the armies in the south. Do not spoil your grand record. Do not sur- rendrr. "No.” answered General Lee: ”1 cannot think of myself. The war is hopeless. If the men disperse, they must live off the country and cause useless suffering. I must lie true to what is right. I must not think of what people might say. I shall surren der.” If such men could drop the per sonalltles out of their lives, all true Christian soldiers should be ready to travel the twain mile for Christ’s causa*. We should forget as well as forgive. We should no longer have the enmities which some of us bear our fellow men. Jesus lias been given as an example for all his disciples to copy. What did Christ do when he was scoffed at and spit upon? Why. the enemies made so many charges against Christ that Pilate, in amazement, asked him to say something and refute the charges. “Ilearest thou not how many things they witness against thee? And he answered him never a word, iusomuch that the governor marveled greatly.” Christ came to save the world. Jesus did riot have time or inclination to spend the last moments of his earthly life fighting his detractors; ueither should we. Ilate'a Worst Enemy. The twain mile Is the place where the enemies of the true Christiau are either mellowed or completely con quered by love. As the willingness to love one’s enemies makes a man strong to go forth to the battle of life, so that willingness to love au enemy dulls the battleax of almost every foe. Love is the most dangerous enemy hate has to combat. Love is the duelist which will disarm many a fatal adversary. Love is tlie shield which can bluut or snap every plunging spear. Love is the daz zling light which can woo a smile from many a scornful lip and the tear of re morse from many a flashing eye. My brother, the difficulty with you and myself is we have been fighting our enemies with the wrong kind of wen|>on. We have been fighting fire with fire, bate with hate, bitterness with bitterness, slander with slander, degth with death. But now Jesus has given to us a new way to conquer our enemies. We must disarm hate with love; we must submerge slander with forgiveness; we must answer a curse with a prayer: we must offer to the cliuebed fist an open palm; we must extend to every enemy a helping hand. Surely this idea is the interpretation of tbe words. “W hosoever shall smite thee upon thy right cheek, turn to him tlie other also.” “Whosoever shall compel thee to go with him one mile, go with him twain.” In ancient times, so goes the story, a Roman commander at the head of his legion went forth to capture a great city. With rattle of chariot wheel and flashing of spear and defiant standards and signaling bugle bit st the Invading army approached the city walk Much to their surprise, they found every gate wide open. The merchants were work ing in their stores, the women were working in their kitchens, the farmers were in their fields. The Roman com mander asked in surprise of the Inhab itants who came forth to greet him: “Where are your soldiers? We have come to fight.” “We have no soldiers,” was tlie answer of the inhabitants. “We are a people of peace We wel come you to our homes. We will care for you as long as you wish to stay." “Well,” answered the Roman com mander, “if there are no soldiers to fight we shall march on.” Tbo Roman army came to battle with svord and with spear. Thfy were conquered by love. So our enemies have been for years aPrck’n.; the vrallcd and forti fied cltndt is ■ . our ht .rts. If we would optn the barred gates of love to those enemies and lower the drawbridge of affect it i. we would capture nearly nil of our foes ly the power of 1 ve. The twain mile may have its thistles and thorns and stony highways, but most of those tlr nih can be blanketed with the roses of Sharon. Most of those pebbled pathways can be covered over with a soft quilt of grass which once grew at the foot of the tree out of which was cut the beam of the cross. tVbnt True Love Mean*. The twain mile is the place where Jesus becomes to every Christian a treasured, loving personality. Well substantiated is the fact that love grows as much upon what we do for others as what others do for us, upon what we are ready to give as upon what we are ready to receive. In order to have true love, we must be ready to lose our lives before we can Lave those lives come to their true development. We must be ready to die if we want to truly live as we ought to live. Why is a mother’s love the purest of all earthly love? Because the baby di rectly docs so much for tbe mother? Oh, no. There never was a bigger ty rant who ever wielded a scepter than a little baby in the average home. From the time the child is born until grown it practically does nothing for the mother. The mother is always do ing something for the child. From the advent some one has to keep tending the child. The mother feeds it, dresses It. cares for it. For the first year, at least, the mother has a tugging silver cord of affection, with one end attached to the crib and the other end attached to her heart. She practically lives by the side of that child for weeks and months. Then, when the baby is sick, who nurses It—the graduate from the school for trained nurses? 6h. no. Tlie trained nurse may come in and help. The person who for weeks never takes off her clothes, the person who is al ways by the side of the crib and sees that the medicines are given regularly, the person who is anxiously touching the fevered cheek, is the mother, the sacrificing mother. Why is love generally purer and deeper and wider in the poor man’s home than in the rich man’s palace? Some people may declare that this statement is untrue, but if you have been around as a pastor as much as some ministers you will find that such a statement is true. The reason that love is generally sweeter and purer In the poor man’s home is not because the poor man naturally has a bigger heart than the rich man. but tlie poor man has to daily sacrifice for ills wife and children. When Christmas comes around, in order to have a Christmas tree, perhaps the father himself has to go without an overcoat. When his sons are to be sent to college, in all probability the poor man will have to run into debt He Las to work over time. He has to live in a small house upon a side street. His love feeds up on his sacrifices. So. my brother, if you and I want to love and truly love Christ, we must be willing to do some thing for Christ. We must give our selves body, mind and soul to bis serv ice. We must be ready to travel for him the twain mile. It is because sonic of us are not ready to travel tills twain mile that Christ’s teachings seem harsh and narrow and perhaps unsympa thetic. Companion of tbe Twain Mile. Some years ago. in the mountains of North Carolina, a rich lady was riding along in her carriage. Being overtaken by a thunderstorm, she found shelter in a farmer’s home. The place was very humble. As in many poor homes, there seemed to be healthy children everywhere, but there was also one crippled child. The rich lady said to the mother, “Can nothing be done for that child?” “No,” answered the moth er, "nothing can be done. The village doctor said the great surgeons in New York might help him. Of course we have no money to send him there.” Tlie rich lady pitied the child. She took him to New York. While there the surgeons straightened out the crip pled limbs. But though the little child was at that time a cripple, yet on ac count of wbftt the rich lady was doing for him he had strength enough to crawl into the rich lady's heart. Then the rich lady went back and said to the mother: “Since I have been caring for your boy 1 have learned to love him. Will you let me adopt him? 1 want to bring him up as my own child and make him my heir.” In after years the boy used to crawl into the rich lady’s lap and say; “Mamma. I am glad I was once a poor little cripple. If I had not been a poor little cripple, you would not have pitied and worked for me and learned to love me when you were saving my life." So when we Mork for Christ, when we travel for him the twain mile, the Saviour creeps into our hearts us well as we creep in to his. And. my friend, I want you to fur ther remember that as you travel along tlie twain mile for Christ he is also traveling along the twain mile with you. Upon the one side of you will go. as I said before, the sweet faced angel of inspiring hope, hut upon the other side, tlie left side, the side nearest to the heart, you will have for compan ionship the One who sticketh closer than a brother, the One who will lie by your side, even if your father and your mother should forsake you. If you will only trust him, he will not let you carry a burden greater than you can bear. He will not let you have a sorrow which lie cannot and will not cure. He will not let you shed a tear unless he is icady to wipe it away. He is used to traveling the twain mile. He once traveled Unit twain mile of Ills own accord. He left heaven and trav eled it to the foot of the cross to csrry our sins and to die for us. Christ glad ly did ail tills for you. Are you ready to travel the twain mile for Christ?
