Thousands Hare Kidney Trouble and Don’t Knew 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 j unhealthy condi tion of the kid neys; if it sta ns 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 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, Mver*. 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 unpleasar t 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 rea'iced. It stands the highest for its won derful cures of the most distressing cases. If you need a medicine you should have the bes:. Sold by druggists inSOc. and$l. sizes.

Frank De Witt Tulmnge on the text Luke xlv, 2o, “Go out into the highways and hedges and compel them to come in.” (Ttrist was comparing the kingdom of heaven to a great banquet which God had prepared fof his invited guests, who would not come. The Earl of Leicester made great prepara tions to receive Elizabeth, the “Virgin Queen of England,” when she visited the castle halls of < Id Kenilworth. Not only was his banquet ball brilliant with many lights, but no sooner did the royal guest step upon the draw bridge which led into the castle than a raft, made as a floating island, came into view. Upon this floating island sat a beautiful woman. She was sur rounded by her water nymphs.

At night while the banquet went on the heavens were aflame with the illuminations of fireworks. “Such," wrote the clerk of Queen Elizabeth's council chamber, "was the blaze of burning darts, the gleam of stars coruscant, the streams and bail of fiery sparks, lightnings of wildfire and flight-shot of thunderbolts, with con tinuance terror and veheineucy, that the heavens thundered, the waters surged and the earth shook, and for my part, hardy as 1 am. it made me vengeahly afraid.” Hut. though the queen lover made great and wonderful preparations to receive his royal guest in the gorgeous banquet ball of old Kenilworth, he made no such prepara tions as God had made in the parable to receive his heavenly guests, who would not come. But. as the divinely invited guests would not come, then God practieally said: “l will have my banquet hall filled notwithstanding. If the guests for whom the banquet was prepared will not come to me, then I will send out for those who will appreciate it. I will compel them to come in.” So the Lord in the parable said to ins serv ants. as Christ now says to us church members. “Go out into tin* highways and hedges and compel them to come in.” The purpose of this dis course is to show how. as individual church meuilRMs. we can become heav enly constraiucrs and present the gos pel invitation to sinful men and women whom we meet in our daily walks of life. It is to show how. by gospel con secrated work among individuals, we can change an empty church inlo a crowded sanctuary and by depleting the places of evil resort we can ulti mately make a full heaven. Mr. Mootly'K Flan. When some one asked Mr. Moody: “How shall wo reach the masses for ChristV How shall we give the gospel invitation t<> those sinners who are out in the highways and the hedges?” he bluntly answered his questioners, “Go after them.” But bow are we to go after them? First, as Christ’s disciples, we should begin our personal work among -individuals by presenting the gospel of Jesus to those who are closest to us. We should present Christ first to our fatliers and mothers, to our hus bands and wives and brothers and sis ters and children, to our dear friends and to all who are bound to us by the ties of Ailood and love. We should do Just the same as Andrew, the brother of Philip, did when he was converted. No sooner did he see the face of Christ than he practically said to himself: “Why. 1 must Immediately go and hunt up my dear brother Philip. How hap py I can make him! We have been side ly side in all our Joys and sorrows from the time we were horn. He must share today In my new hope.” It Is upon tills action of Andrew, who at once went and carried the gospel Invi tation to his brother, that the great, “Brotherhood of Andrew and Philip” has been established. But. though the eternal salvation of our unrepentant loved ones ought to be a perpetual cause of anxiety for us day in and day out. yet there are thou sands and hundreds of thousands of church members who never think It obligatory for them to present the love of a living Christ to those who ought to be as dear to them ns a Jonathan was to a David, a Damon to a Pyth ias or the memory of a murdered king of Denmark was to an avenging son. These church members are ready to In vite those friends to their h imes. but they are not willing to personally In vite them to sit at the holiest of all ta bles—the table of the blessed commun ion. They are ready to talk with their friends upon politics or business, but they are not ready to discuss with them the greatest of all questions, “What shall It profit a man if he should gain the whole world and lose his own soul?” They are ready to sound the | praises of their friends to their other friends, but they are not ready to pound forth to tbelr earthly friends the praises of their Heavenly Father. They are always ready to Introduce one earthly friend to another, but they an- not anx.ous to make their earthly companions acquainted with that Dl- j \ ,ne Con pa do:! who is ever willing to Lo our helper and guide along the trou bled Journey of life. These church members are not ready to do as a Sunday school teacher did some years ago. She was the daughter of one of the wealthiest financiers In the world. IL r teacher, who was a very Intimate friend of my mother, told of the Incident Being converted, the young girl not only gave her heart to ( heist, but she at once wanted those r. ho were dearest to her to do the same. So, a few days before her public pro fession in the church, she came to her father and said, "Papa, 1 am going to Join the church next Sunday, and I want you to come and see me.” “So. daughter.” answered the father, "1 am ready to do anything for you, but 1 can't go to church. Your mother, you know, attends to that part of the fam ily duties. Besides, Helen, I have n very important meeting next Sunday with one of our New York boards, and 1 cannot go to church.” ’’Father,” per sisted the young girl, “you say you love me. I believe you do. if I was to he married next Sunday, you would • be there, would you not? Well, father, 1 am going to a more important/Cere mony than any earthly marriage. I am going to give my troth to Jesus Christ. He is to be more to me than ever an earthly husband enn he, and I want you to be there.” The tears be gan to rain down the great financier's cheeks as he answered. “Yes, Helen, 1 will go.” As a result of that invita tion and that service the father gave liis heart to God. He is today awaiting in heaven the advent of his Christian daughter, whose faithfulness led him to tin* foot of the cross. Oh. that you and I, ns gospel evangelists, might be willing to begin our evangelistic work at home—begin by putting our arm in loving embrace about our dear friends whose affections mean so much to us mid say: “Brother, sister, I cannot be truly happy unless you are happy with me in Christ. Will you come with me to meet my Saviour? Will you come now ?” T*«*r»<iiiuI iMiirellMtlt* Work. When John McLean, the famous as sociate justice of the supreme court of the United States, was converted many years ago, it was on n Sunday morn ing at church. On ids way home he said to ids wife: “Mary, we have neg lected our duty to Christ too long. We shall at once set up a family altar and have family prayers as soon ns we ar rive home.” “But. John,” answered his wife, "we cannot do that at once. You have Invited some prominent law yers to dinner, and they will he wait ing for us In the parlor now. Perhaps we might have family prayers in the back room, If you wish.” “No.” an swered the famous lawyer, who is long since dead; “the first time 1 ask Jesus Into my home I shall not steak him in by the kitchen door. 1 shall ask him to enter my parlor.” When Judge Mc Lean enteVed the house, he immediate ly called the children together; then, after greeting his lawyer friends, he turned and said: "Gentlemen, I gave my heart to Christ this morning. It is a very important day in my life. I In tend to start a family altar at once. I wish that you would join In family worship with me and my children and that my Christ might become your Christ. But if you are not willing to Join we will he through with prayers In a little while, and then we will all go to dinner.” As a result of that ear nest pica not only did his family, but also his guests, kneel In prayer. One or two of those guests then and there gave their hearts to Christ. Would that we might all start our evangelis tic work in our homes! Would that we all might obey, the commandment of my text by first trying to bring our loved ones to know and to trust that Saviour whose love for the repentant sinner passeth all understanding! But the gospel invitation ought to be given to the strangers who are within n Christian’s gates as well as to the loved ones who have a right by the ties of blood to live there. It Is non sense for us to suppose that after we have gathered our fathers and mothers and wives and husbands and children ami a very few dear personal friends into the gospel lifeboat we have a right to haul In the plank and east off the hawsers and set sail for heaven, deeming our Christian responsibilities fulfilled. No. Emphatically no. The Christian's obligations are so farrcach- ing toward his fellow men that in the light of the gospel the poor traveler who was waylaid by thieves on the , road to Jericho was Just as much a brother to the good Samaritan as if he had been horn in the same cradle, sung to sleep by the same lullaby and reared in the same homestead. But, though the gospel teachings make the Jew and the gentile broth ers. yet the average church member does not feel that he has any direct responsibility in presenting the gospel invitation to the stranger that Is with in his gates. After the minister has preached some Sunday a pertinent ser- , n an u|K>n this overwhelming text, “Go out into the highways and hedges ai. d compel them to come in,” this average church member accosts -the j pastor with words like the following: "Why, my dear pastor, you would not expect me to stand in the aisle of the ! church and ask the stranger to come Into the after meeting, would you? I I am a young girl. It would aot be proper for a young lady to speak to strange men and women, even in a i church, without an introduction.” Or some young man would say: "Preach er. I am a church member, but I can not do what you want me to do. You surely would not expect me, when I »m riding along in a railroad train, to talk about Christ with every man who might sit down by my side and open a conversation with me? Why, such a course 9s that would naturally be very embarrassing to me as well us to the people with whom I talk.” Yes, young mar or young woman, whether U be embarrassing or no, whether you have hud an Introduction or not to the people with whom you come into tem porary contact, that is what I believe every true church member • ought to do. I believe every Christian ought to be so anxious to save souls for Christ that, 110 matter in what position in life he may be placed, he ought never to allow any man, woman or child to come into contact with him in any way unless he tactfully Improves that chance for speaking a word for his Divine Master. , Spread tjie Invitation. Church members should present the gospel invitation to the men and wom en whom tin y elianee to meet the more willingly because they would never dream of waiting for an introduction or of hesitating on account of embar rassment if they saw those same peo ple thr‘atened with any physical dan ger. .Supposing, O Christian man, you wore returning home late some night and you saw the flamed playing about the curtains of the dining room in your neighbor's house. Would you hesitate for one instant about ringing that own ers doorbell because you hud not a personal acquaintance with him? Would you first scurry round the town to hunt up sonic mutual acquaintance to give you that introduction? No! At the top of your lungs you would cry “Fire! Fire! Fire!” You would toil your companion who was by your side to run to the nearest fire alarm box and at once call the engines. And if the smoke was rolling up in great clouds and threatening to suffocate the inmates of that home you would with your eaue smash the parlor win dows and rush upstairs unannounced and awaken the drowsy sleepers. If necessary, you would help carry the children down into the street In your protecting arms. After you are ready to do all that to warn a stranger of an earthly danger, do you mean to tell me that unless you have been introduced you have no right to give to that same stranger the gospel invitation? 1 de clare that your position is not tenable. I tell you that if you truly believe that an unrepentant sinner must die, then you should act toward the sinner who is in immineiu danger of destruction in the same wav In which you would act toward tlukt man who is sleeping in bed when the lire demons are danc ing along his hallways and playing hide and seek among the tapestries of his parlor. Again, it is absolutely necessary in order to carry-out the command of my text for the average church member to give the gospel invitation to his friends and to strangers when they are gathered inside the church walls as well as when they are scattered with out, and it is also necessary for the church members to extend this invita tion for a specified time and place. A general invitation to come to supper is. as a rule, worse than no invitation at all. When a person comes to me and gushingly says. “Oh. Mr. Talmage, I do wish you would come and visit us; com* any time you can and stay as long as you please,” I am sure of one fact-that person wants to be polite, but ho does not want me to come. He did not set a date. But when a friend coin s to me and says, “Mr. Talmage, will you and your wife take supper with us next Thursday night: we are peer folks, but we will give you the best we have?” 1 generally accept. Why? Because I think that man wants ip • l< come. Ho set a time and a place \ k r > he wished to entertain me. So, v .ion the minister of the Lord Jesus < hriot preaches a sermon and gives a general invitation and says to the sin ners, “Come to Christ,” and then dis misses his audience with a benedie- iO:t and goes home, as a rule, that sur- ;non has amounted to but very little in its evangelistic results. But when the minister of the Lord Jesus Christ can go to his church members and say: ‘Brethren, wo must gather in the sin ners who are living around this church. We must go out into the highways and the hedges and compel them to come in. We will tonight as soon as the bene diction has been pronounced have an after meeting. As members of this church we will distribute ourselves through the aisles and buttonhole every man, woman and child, so that no one shall leave the building without having a speci.il Invitation for this after meet- i’:g.” Uu re will he no disappointment in the spiritual results. Why? Because ihe church members themselves are asking their friends and the strangers to meet Jesus Christ In a specified place at a specified time. General in vitations in reference to the gospel banquet as well as to an earthly home, hs a rule, are worse than no invitations at all. The Fault of the Pews. So, today, I lay the blame for the lack of spiritual results in our churches far more upon the pews than I do upon the pulpits. God knows, I do not believe that our ministers are perfect men, but most of them are tamest men, intense men. They would do anything In their power to bring Immortal souls to Christ. But the trouble is when the average minister of the gospel announces an after meet ing. where sinners can be brought face to face with Christ, uine-tentbs, aye, ninety-niiie-buudredths, of all the church members will get up aud put on their hats and go home. They will not only by their actions refuse to personally, extend an Invitation to the men and women who are sitting by their side, but they will absolutely re fuse to go into the after meetings and talk with sinuera who are trying to find Christ. This charge which I make against the church members I make not only against the laymen, bat also against the church officers. I make it against the eldera and the deacons and the trustees. I make it in the strength of the overwhelming fact that you derelict church members cannot find a great evangelistic preacher who la ac complishing any rr^at good fer Christ who Is not hacked up by a prlying. consecrated band of earnest church workers. Yet you can find today church after church in our laud that is nothing more or less than a slaugh ter house for ministerial usefulness. Their pastors will win great spiritual successes before • they come to them, and those pastors will win great spir itual successes after they leave them, but while they are in those spiritually dead churches tfle pastors will stumble about blinded and helpless, as did the mighty Samson, bound with fetters of brass, with his two eyes out, grinding about In the prison house of Gaza. Those evangelistic ministers are spir itually helpless in such churches be cause the people, the common church members, will not unite as a working force and personally present the gospel of Jesus Christ to the strangers who come among them. Instead of derid ing and underestimating the power of the ministry, it is high time for some one to thunder a philippic against the indifference of the selfish church mem bers who refuse to spiritually support the pulpit, as the pew always ought loyally to do. The gospel Invitation should be pre sented by the church members to their friends and to the strangers wherever they may be found, because thp vast majority of sinners never enter the church at all. Therefore, if they do not have Christ presented to them on the street, in the office, in the railroad trains and even in the kitchen, they will never be Invited at all. Mr. Beech er once powerfully said, "The longer I live the more confidence I have in those sermons preached where one man is a minister aii^J one man is the con gregation. where there is no question as to who is meant whin the preacher says. ‘Thou art the man!’” I believe Mr. Beecher was right when he made that statement, but I believe he was right even In a larger sense. The lon ger I live the more confidence I have in those sermons that are preached where one man is a minister and one man is a congregation, because such a gospel service can be held everywhere. It can use the mechanic's bench for n pulpit: it can have the iceman's cart for a moving tabernacle; it can carry the Bread of Life to the sinner who would otherwise never he willing to receive that bread over the pulpit desk. Be sides, the minister in such a case does not have to Lo an ordained theological student, but need be simply an earnest consecrated layman pleading for Christ with the sinner who is standing hy his side in the village store. SnvIiiK n Siitfnl World. If all church members were to be come earnest and consecrated evangel ists, it would tKit take very long for this whole sinful world to see the sun rise burst of the millennial dawn. Sure ly it would not he too much to expect that one such evangelist as Mr. Beech er described should at least win one soul a year for Christ, yet Dr. William Morley Punshon, the great English Methodist, once made the startling statement: “If every disciple today were to call only one person to Christ each year and that one were to call one other, how swiftly the world would be wholly converted! There are today millions of true believers in the world. But if there were only 100 see how quickly the work would grow. In less than twenty-five years the world would be converted, for this would double the number of disciples each year.” After such an impressive statement, will any one say that the gospel invitation, which can be given daily by the church members, would amount to but little In the salvation of a sinful world? To show the importance of a Chris tian layman’s work 1 cannot do better in closing this sermon than quote two illustrations from the personal experi ence of H. Clay Trumbull, the well known editor of the Sunday School Times. Mr. Trumbull’s early life was spent In Stonington, Conn. There a great revival swept the town, and many of the companions of his youth joined the church, among whom was a young man who was one of his most Intimate friends. For many years these two ns boys and young men lived near each other, but his Christian friend never spoke to him about reli gion. After awhile they separated. Mr. Trumbull became an engineer In Hartford; his Christian friend went to Yale, but during his last year at col lege he sent a letter to his old chum pleading with hint to become a Chris tian. That letter was the means of saving H. Clay Trumbull’s soul. In his engine room, upon the receipt of it. he then and there gave his heart to God. He immediately said to hijnself, “If the personal work of a layman can do so much in the salvation of an immor tal soul. I will never make the mistake my friend made with me by postpon ing for so long a personal invitation to another.” So, the same night on which he was converted. Mr. Trum bull went to one of his fellow work men and told him he had been con verted. He urged his friend also to accept Christ. This friend turned to him and said: ‘Trumbull, your words cat me to the heart. You little know how they rebuke me. I have long been a professed follower of Christ, and you have never suspected this, although we’ve been In close associa tion in house and office for years. May God forgive me for my lack of faith- fulness.” Aye, may God today forgive us all, ministers and laymen alike, if we have shown the same negligence as these two young men who came Into H. Clay Trumbull’s life. May God teach us, one and all, the power of personal testimony for Christ. And may we one and all be willing to make the resolution D. L. Moody made a abort time after hia conversion—“I here and now promise that no day hereafter shall pass unless I have per sonally presented my Saviour to at least one immortal soul. So help me, Jeans, in my vow! Amen.” (Copyright, 1902, by Lonla Klopsch ] Siieifs Saie. SoWH Carolina, i Court Coni- LHKqo' UJ-; Co. , moil Pleas. J.
