'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 born 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 to 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- eent and one dollar tzes.

Pastor of Jefferson Park Presby terian Church, Chicago l» —■ ■ <' Chicago, March 20.— This sermon administers a severe rebuke to fault finders, gossips, slanderers and scan dal mongers and shows by contrast bow Christlike it is to he generously silent rather than censorious in deal ing with the weaknesses of others. The text is II Samuel i. 20, “Tell it not in Gath: publish it not in the streets of Askelon.” “Silence.” once wrote a trenchant and poetic author, “is only music asleep." By the grace of God I would prove that gospel silence may be mu sical without l*eing always somnolence. It is often gospel harmonies wide awake and in full diapason. The gold en lips of silence can sometimes be more eloquent In their gospel signifi cance than the silver tongue of speech. There is great excitement in the Da- vidic encampment. A sentinel sees a courier at full speed running down the valley. Coming nearer, he calls out with panting voice. “Tidings, my lord- tidings for the new king!” From the different tents the swarthy limbed sol diers. who were resting from the con quests over the Amalekites. swarm forth. They lead the new arrival to the young commander. There he pros trates himself upon the ground. He announces that Saul has been defeated And has committed suicide; Jonathan has boon slain. The empty throne Is now ready for Its new occupant, the conqueror of the mighty Philistine, Go liath. What was the result? Did Da vid tell his followers to exult over the fallen king? Did he say to his com panions in arm: "Good for Saul! His defeat served him right. Divine jus tice has avenged my wrongs. He had no business to try to kill me to satisfy his jealousy. He had no right to drive me Into exile. He should not have be come an apostate and defied the divine power which bad anointed him king of Israel?” No! David had the silver tongue of speech. No psalmist ever sang sweeter than this sweet singer of Israel. But David had the golden lips of gospel silence. Ho lifted his hand in warning. lie practically said this: “Do not exult over your fallen king. Do not advertise his faults to the world lest the uncircumcised Philistines re joice. Do not sneer at God’s anointed. Let his faults be buried in his tomb. Only remember and talk about his good qualities. Tell it not in Gath; publish it not in the streets of Askelon.” Would that we, one and all. might be as charitable in our comments upon those who have sinned and wronged us as David was with Saul. Would that we might talk only about the good qualities of those with whom we come in contact and not examine a man’s faults with the magnifying power of a microscope and study his virtues with the minifying power of the in verted end of a telescope. Would that we might cease to write our human commendations in the sands, which are washed out by the rising tides in a day. and that we might rather chisel our commendations in the solid roeks, which shall publish them forever. Golden Li pa of Silence. The golden lips of gospel silence never banquet upon carrion. We know that a healthful physical body has to draw its strength from clean provender. If a piece of meat is decomposed and microscopically diseased, it will make unclean any body into which it is ab sorbed. When one of the presidents elect, many years ago. was about to be inaugurated, his enemies tried to poison him. They placed poison in the food In a certain hotel where he was stopping at the time in the city of Washington. Scores and. I believe, hundreds of guests eating at that hotel were poisoned. Some of the guests lost their lives. Many more were doomed to a lifetime of suffering invalidism. The president elect did not suffer, be cause at that dinner he did not take any of the itoisoned food. Only the ravens and the buzzards could feast upon the carcasses floating about Noah’s ark; not the dove with her wings covered with silver and her feathers with yellow gold. What is true In reference to the physical body Is also true in reference to the mind and the spirit. If we allow our thoughts to feed upon what Is depraved in other men’s characters, then our thoughts will themselves become depraved. If we allow our lips to revel In uttering the scandals and describing the weak nesses and the sins of our neighbors or friends or enemies, then our own tongues will become defiled. This law—that what we let our minds feed upon decides what our minds are to be—is irrevocable and all powerful. It Is so farreaching iu its results that Jesus, in the gospel of Matthew, de clares that he will condemn us not only for our evil actions, but also for our evil thoughts. “Ye have beard that it was said by them of old, Thou shalt not commit adultery. But I say unto you that whosoever looketh on a wom an to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.” We are to be condemned not only for what we say and do, but also for what we think. “Oh, no,” says some hearer. “That is not square. A man should not be con demned for what he thinks. The thought action of the brain is abso lutely involuntary. We think In spite of ourselves. We sin only when we curry out the evil desires of our souls. We do not sin necessarily when we think evilly." Ah, my brother, you are mistaken. A man can Indirectly gov ern his thoughts, as he can directly govern his actions. If a man allows his eye only to see pure pictures and to read good hooks, his ear to hear only what is good and true in reference to his fellow men; if a man allows his tongue to repeat only that which is generous and loving and gentle—that man’s mind and spirit will become true and good. If his mind becomes pure, then his thoughts and his de sires will become pure, as well as his actions. Reaphinit For Lofty Ideal*. A man cannot lift himself up by pull ing at his boot straps. He must have a pure ideal to draw him out of him self. When Munkacsy’s famous pic ture, “Christ Before Pilate,” was being exhibited in one of our American cit ies, an unkempt and filthy looking man was one day seen to enter the room and to stand and look for hours upon the sad and beautiful face of the Sa viour. At first he stood before that painting with his hat upon his head; then, as the spirit of the picture began to take possession of him, he reached up and removed his hat. The follow ing day the man came back, but this time he had washed his face and his hands. Next day he came again and stood before the picture. This day he had his clothes cleaned. Day after day, as long as that picture was in the city, this man came, each time Im proved In apparel, each time with more of divine light and love flooding his heart and soul. My brothers, if we reach up for lofty ideals those ideals will lift us up. If we only see and talk about the depravities in our brother’s nature, those evil deeds will drag us down. The golden lips of gospel silence are often just as important for our spirit ual development as the silver tongue of speech. Joseph Addison, the great English author and critic, once gave a description of his feelings when listen ing to a masterpiece rendered by a noted orchestra. He said that he was not so much impressed with the great tidal waves of sound which dashed themselves against his eardrums as the waves of the mighty deep in mid winter beat against the Holland dikes or with the volume of mingled sounds, ns when the voices of the celestials seemed to blend with the voices of the terrestrials, as lie was impressed with the deep silence which suddenly en sued when the orchestra leader lifted his baton in the midst of the piece and commanded his musicians to halt. “Me- thought,” he wrote, "this short inter val of silence had more music in it than any short space of time before or after it.” The most eloquent passages of our spiritual development may of ten be found when we press the golden lips of gospel silence against our neigh bor's faults, when we are dumb and say nothing, absolutely nothing. Scaiutnla PnbllMh Themaelvea. The golden lips of gospel silence should remain closed because, as a rule, it is not necessary to emphasize scandals. Scandals are always loud voiced. They publish themselves. As I speak some one sitting in a pew has been suj'iug to himself: “Is it not right to denounce oilier people’s faults? Shall we not warn our friends against these sins? Shall we not point out men’s errors as well as their virtues? Did not I’aul write to young Timothy enjoining him to rebuke as well as to exhort, to reprove as well as preach the word?” Yes, that is true; but, as a rule, when a man sins he does not find a very great lack of reprovers and rebukers, while there is generally a great scarcity of exhorters and encour agers when he does right. The late Dr. Joseph Barker, the great London preacher, once said: “The aver age newspaper prefers not to print that which is only commendatory. If I should arise this morning and preach the most eloquent evangelistic sermon ever delivered from any English pul pit, no special notice would be taken of the same, but if I should preach in an alpaca coat and stand under an open umbrella, which I might hold in my left hand, every newspaper in Aus tralia. New Zealand, America or the British isles would have an account of the same tomorrow morning.” Fur thermore, in every community there are scores of men and women who consider themselves self appointed messengers of evil. They are even willing to leave the home on wash Monday or on Saturday afternoon, when they ought to be preparing for the sacred Sabbath, if they can only peddle some story of Satanic gossip alnnit the neighborhood. And so, my brother, you need not be afraid that enough condemnatory emphasis will not be placed upon your neighbor’s faults. The simple fact is. if some of us do not tell and systematically talk about our neighbors’ virtues, the sin ful world may come to the conclusion that they have no virtues; that they are startling examples of total deprav ity through and through. A clean heart instinctively finds some good in every man’s nature. A honey bee always scents the flower. It is the firefly of the night who loves to light his little lantern and to hunt for the creeping vermin In the quagmire and in the disease breeding recesses of the miasmatic swamp. An old and yet a very suggestive story goes thus: One day a wagon was driven up a country road in front of a Pennsylvania farm house. The driver had all his children and goods and chattels In his vehicle. He was moving and wanted to find a new home. He called out to a Quaker farmer sitting upon the porch: “Stran ger, what kind of people live In the next town—I mean in that town which is Just over the hill? I want to settle there.” “Well, friend,” answered the Quaker farmer, “what kind of people did thee leave In the place from whence thee came?” “Oh.” replied the farmer, “they were the meanest people on earth. Every one of them would stab you in the back If he could. They would cheat you and cut your throat. •alaM* I never could get to like them. That Is the reason I am leaving and trying to find a new home.” “Friend,” an swered the old Quaker farmer, “thee will find the same kind of people living in the next town.” Next day another t migrant drove up to the same fanu- ’ use He asked the same question. “Friend,” asked the Quaker farmer, “what kind of people did thee leave in the place from whence thee came?” “Oh.” answered this new arrival, “they were the kindest, the dearest people on earth. I would never have left them, but my dear wife died. Then the old homestead became intolerable. Every room reminded me of her. Every friend would open the bleeding wound of my heart. I could not believe that any people could ever be so kind as my old neighbors were during my late trouble.” “Friend,” answered the Qua ker farmer, “thee will find the same kind of neighbors in the next town as in the place from whence thee came.” Speak Only of the Good. Like the old Quaker farmer, I would declare that each hearer can find good in all men or bad in all men just in proportion as his own heart is good or bad. And if we have any good in our own makeup it is very important that we have the “silver tongue of speech” in order to talk about other people’s virtues. Let others, if they will, ad vertise the errors; we will only speak about the good. The golden lips of gospel silence nev er foolishly whisper sinful tales into the ears of wrongdoers by which they shall try to Justify their own sins. A g(»od example is infectious. When Mr. Beecher was a young pastor in Indian!!, he made up his mind that he would try to preach the love of God from a flower garden as well as from his pul pit. He laid out his parsonage grounds in rows of roses and geraniums, vio- h ts and hydrangeas. One year he planted a bed of over 3,000 hyacinths. At first the village people in great wonderment would come and look at bis garden. Then they would solilo quize. “Why cannot we have flowers in our front yards?” After awhile the little flower gardens began to grow ev erywhere—here one, there another. At hist Mr. Beecher was able to say pub licly, “Let your flowers so shine that men, seeing how beautiful they are. will go and make gardens for them selves.” The young preacher’s love of flowers began to take root and blossom in many hearts. What is true in reference to the in fection of a good example is also true of the infection of a bad example. Some of the toll keepers in New Zea land have trained sheep, which, for a small consideration, they let out to the sheep drovers to lead their flocks of sheep across the bridges which span the rivers or the ravines. When the sheep which are being driven to mar ket come up to these bridges, they are frightened and will not go over. Then these trained sheep come to the head of the flock and lead the way. When the untrained sheep see that some of their number can cross the bridge, with a steady rush they follow after their leaders. There are scores and hundreds and thousands of men and women who want to do wrong. They are afraid to do wrong. But when they hear of the shortcomings of their fellow men, they say to themselves: "Well, if So-and-so can sow his wild oats, I guess we can. If So-and-so can safely cross the rickety bridge span ning the river of death, I guess we can also trust ourselves upon the swinging span. Here goes!” “Tinder is not more apt to take fire.” once wrote Phillips Brooks, “nor wax to take the impression of the seal nor paper the ink than youth is to follow ill exam ples.” “When the abbot throws the dice.” goes an old legend, “the whole convent will gamble also.” The reason the Chinese Indies of today crush and distort their feet is because centuries ago a Chinese empress was born with deformed feet, and they are imitating the deformity. Everywhere we find that when a great man does wrong his evil conduct is taken as an example, or rather as an excuse, for hundreds and thousands of similar sins. The Artlat'a Masterpiece. Never give any man a chance by the recital of some wrong or sin to turn his face for one instant from purity and right. When Leonardo da Vinci fin ished his great painting, the "Last Supper.” he made a cup which was a masterpiece. In form and character and in the luster of the precious metal this central cup was clearly and beau tifully wrought out. The common praise which was first heard from ev ery lip was this: “How marvelous is the art displayed in the wine cup.” This eulogium so incensed the great Italian artist that he took a great brush and blotted out the splendid cup as he said: “I meant the face of Jesus Christ to be the only and the central and the most important part of that picture. Whatever draws away the eyes of the beholder from that must be blotted out.” And so whatever draws away the thoughts and the desires of our hearers and companions from truth and purity and love must be blotted out. And mark you this, my brother, in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred no man is as good a man after hearing the rehearsal of a scandal or a sin as he was before. There may be excep tions. There may be times when peo ple, by illustration, ought to have the red light of warning flashed before their eyes. But in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred a man’s spiritual life Is developed better by hearing of the virtues and self sacrifices and Chris tian purities of his fellow men than by wallowing In the mud of scandal and of sin. The golden lips of gospel silence never demean their owner in the eyes of his fellow men. When people sit around and hear him talk, if be does talk, they say to themselves: “Well, I do not know whether be is a good or a had man. One thing I do know—he al ways speaks well of everybody. That Is certainly a good characteristic. I feel that I can trust him on that ac count. I always like him around. I knoiv when I am absent he will speak well of me, as he does of others." On the other baud, when a man has not the golden lips of gospel silence people say of him: “I do not like that man. He may be good, kind and true, but he certainly has a poor way of showing it. You cannot be in his company five minutes before he is harshly criticising some one. He criticises his wife, his mother, his employer, his absent friend as well as his absent enemy. I always feel when I am with him that he is watching me, so that lie can harshly criticise me when my back is turned. I do not like such a man around.” This harsh criticism which we may utter against our neighbors always has a bad reactionary effect upon those w’ho make it. Therefore if we want to have a great influence for good it is very essential for us, for the most part, to talk only about the virtues and the good qualities of those with whom we come in contact. The best recommen dation that a gospel minister can have is that he speaks well of other minis ters; a lawyer, that he speaks well of lawyers; a doctor, that he has a kind word to speak about his brother physi cians; a wife, that she speaks well of other wives and other wives’ children; a servant, that she speaks well of her late mistresses. And yet the strange fact of life is many of us think we are enhancing the value of our reputations when we are picking flaws in the repu tations of others. The Folly of Samaon. Blind Samson tumbled down the Da- gon temple upon the heads of the 3,000 Philistines. But when Samson de stroyed the enemies of his people he also destroyed himself. So when we attempt by harsh criticism to destroy others we contribute to our own de struction. When a party of Alpine climbers wish to ascend the dizzy heights, they bind themselves togeth er with a long rope. Slowly and cau tiously they creep over the glaciers and stand upon the edge of the black and yawning crevasses. If one of their number falls, the others must be very quick of action. They must not only bury their spiked heels in the ice, but they must jam in the ice staffs also. They know that if they cannot keep their brother from falling he may drag the whole party with him into the opened jaws of death. We are all. in one sense, bound together in this jour ney of life. When we try to fling a brother down, there is a jerk at our own belts. To a greater or less extent we will be dragged down. But when we try by the golden lips of gospel si lence to screen a fallen brother and make it easier for him to recover and when we refuse to advertise his faults we ourselves are helped up in the struggle of life. We help ourselves when we try to shield our fallen breth ren. The golden lips of gospel silence nev er intentionally speak a harsh word against a sinful neighbor. Why? Their owner knows that in the sight of God he is a sinner and that as a lost sheep he has erred and strayed far from the divine pasturage. The better a Christian is the more he real izes the enormity of his own sins, the more inclined he is to be less harsh upon the sins of others. When Paul first had his blind eyes opened by the good Ananias, lie was able, to some ex tent, to see Ins own faults. He wrote, “I am the least of the apostles.” Then Paul went on in his spiritual growth. He saw ids past blacker and blacker in the eyes of God. Then he wrote, “Unto me, who am less than the least of all the saints.” Paul went* on growing higher and higher in spiritual life until at last, just before bis mar tyrdom, lie could cry out iu rapture, “This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation—that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.” Oh, my brother, by prayer and consecration and by grace cannot and will not you come so near to God that you will cease to con demn your fellow men? Cease because, like Paul, you can feel that you are the chief of sinners? Would that every one of us could have the beautiful eulogy passed upon us which President John Adams once passed upon his great predecessor. When the sage of Massachusetts stood for the first time before Stuart’s fa mous picture of Washington, he said, “There was a man who when occasion required knew enough and had self control enough to keep his mouth shut and say nothing.” When we hear peo ple harshly criticised, may we, in the name of Christ, say nothing or only, if necessary, speak up In their behalf as Christ would have us speak. May we learn this lesson uot by standing be fore the picture of an earthly hero, but by the tomb of a martyred Lord. [Copyright, 1903. by Louis Klopsch.J Slapdash Insurance. There is a great increase in England of life insurance without medical ex amination, a system highly praised by some experts. Broadly stated, the position of the companies which seek the business is that the benefit of selection in keeping down the death rate exhausts itself In the first few years, and thereafter the mortality Is above average. If policies were issued to the first 10,000 apparently healthy men met In the street by agents of the company, the mortality of the group would be much the same as that of 10,000 In sured lives of similar ages who had passed a strict examination five years previously. Accordingly In risks taken without examination an extra charge of $4 per $500 Is made for the first year and $2 extra for the next two years, the rate after that being normal; or a proviso Is made that in case of death within five years only a part of the premium Is to be paid. With these precautions the business Is considered conservative. I Coughed “ I had a most stubborn cough for many years. It deprived me of sleep and I grew very thin.
