they accomplished a great work. That

One of the greatest novels ever writ
ten, so considered by many of our best
critics. Is Victor Hugo’s masterpiece,
“Los Misorables.” Amid all the art gal
lery of that treasured book the most
wonderful description is the word

“Napoleon the Ltttle” pictures the
downfall of “Napoleon the Great” at
the battle field of Waterloo. When fhls

But is not the gospel banner just as
beautiful in symbol? Does it not make
us one with God? Like a chameleon,
it continually changes its colors. One
day it is all red, reminding us that we
are one with God, through the blood of
the cross. Another day it is all white,
suggesting- purity, as Christ is pure.
Another day it Is all blue. That sig

us if we will trust him and believe on
him and live for him. Therefore I
would inspire every Christian to
prayerfully go forth and Ao what God
wants him to do. 1 would inspire all
Christians to live and work with a
brave heart, because tho results of our
future conflicts are ns sure as God’s
promises are sure.
First, God will be with the Christian
workers of tills present generation. We
light under his glorious banner. David
had proved it by experience when he
wrote, “Thou hast given a banner to
them that fear thee, that it may be
displayed because of the truth.” Under
that banner the church of God has won
victories in all ages. Solomon saw it
on Its march and pronounced it “terri
ble as an army with banners.” He saw
ii later, triumphant over all evil, enter*
Ing like a bride into the home of a
bridegroom and her lord leading her
into the banquet hall and placing ovar
her the banner of love.
Now, a banner is uot merely a piece
communion with God and for the study
of the Bible. Suddenly, aye, us a flash,
Mr. Moody was struck down by the
death angel. One day on his way to
hold great evangelistic services In Kan
sas City, the next day upon his death
bed. What was the result of Mr.
Moody's death? Has any great evan
gelist been found to take his place?
“Ah, no,” you answer; “not one, not
one!" Well, my friend, if no one has
been able to take Mr. Moody's place I
can tell you this one truth—Mr. Moody
when living was never as powerful as
Mr. Moody when dead. The Chicago
institute and Moody church have never
been so great as they are today. The
institutions at Northflcld were never
doing better work than at the present
time. And, what Is more, the very sum
mer after Mr. Moody died the mightiest
Northfield conference ev 4 or known up
to that time was held, in spite of the
fact that the most eloquent tongue
and the best poised brain and tbe big
gest heart Northflcld ever produced
of a rag or a flaring bit of fluttering | were lying silent in the grave. Mr.
bunting or a dress parade endaazle-
ment. The banner of God is a flag or a
standard. It la tbe symbol of supernal
authority. Whoever therefore strikes
at God’s banners strikes at the divine
heart. When, Hom4 years ago, an
American citizen was arrested by the
Spanish authorities in Cuba and sen
teuced to die, the American conevl ai
first protested in va'in. But on tbe day

Moody’s gospel seed planting yielded
forth some thirty, some sixty and
some a hundred fold. It was God’s
work, and God’s work alone.

Symbols In the Gospel Banner.
We all can set tbe beautiful symbols
in tbe America^ii flag. Is there none
for us in the gfspel banner} We say
there never wits a national flog so
will raise us up as modern Joshuas if
we only live for him. He will bless in
our lives the work of the Christian
men and women with whom we have
come Into contact in the past. He will
make us an essential link in a great
chain of Christian influenoee which
shall reach through all eterntty.
Qod will bless the lives of modern
Christian workers even through the
death of his servants. Death is often
a spiritual pruning hook. It lops off
certain branches of the greet tree of
th# human rftce In order that ether
Inches may better develop and grow.
Wo are all ready to recognize the use
fulness of a pruning book in a tem
poral sense. Why can we not do this
iu fi spiritual sense?
To the spiritual weakling the death
1 of the strong Christian is not always
i a misfortune, but a blessing. Let me
Illustrate this truth in a simple way:
! Some years ago there lived in your
! town a noble, true man, who was the
| father of a large family. Suddenly he
died. The friends who came iato the
bereft home not only sympathized
with the widow because she had lost
| her husband, but because she seemed
to have no visible means of support,
i Her eldest son was a nothing. He
was a hothouse plant. He had de
pended in the past entirely upon his
father. Mentally and morally he seem
ed to be entirely unfitted to assume the
responsibilities of the home. But hard
ly had the father died when a change
came over the boy. Instead of being
a clinging vine lie stiffened into a stal
wart oak. He went to work to supply
bread for that family of little ones.
He became the staff upon which his
mother leaned. It was the death of his
father that developed him. It was the
hillock of a paternal grave by which
the son was able to find bis stepping
stones to a throne. God, I believe,
often uses the sharp pruning hook of
death to spiritually develop his unde
veloped children. He takes away his
j Moses in order to throw the spiritual
responsibilities upon his Joshuas. He
says to us one and all: “It Is not right
for you. oh. young man, to learn to
lean upon your father's and mother’s
spiritual life! You must learn to lean
upon my divine arm, and mine alone.
And In the leaning 1 will protect thee
and care for thee, as I did for your
Christian parents.”
The Sweetest Note* of God.
The sweetest gospel music is more
often found to be the echo of a dirge
than to come from a fantasia or a ser
enade or a dithyramb. Mozart’s “Last
Requiem.” composed for his own ob
sequies, was his masterpiece. A beau
tiful legend teaches this: Many years
ago a German knight wanted to change
the towers of ids castle into a great
ceolian harp. When the strings were
first strung from the towers no sound
came therefrom. No note was struck,
because the slender fingers of the spir
its of the summer winds were not
strong enough to bend tho strings, al
though 4 hey were able to lightly touch
them. But when winter came, then
the blizzards had wrists bundled with
muscles. With the strong touch of mu
sical masters they began to run the
gamut of every scale. Accompanied by
the shriekings of the tornadoes, the
strings of the castled towers begun to
vibrate and send forth the sweetest of
melodies. God sounds his sweetest
notes upon the harp strings of our spir
itual hearts when we seem to be the
most weak and helpless. He often de
velops his children by the pruning hook
of trouble. He makes us lean heaviest
upon the divine heart when our own
hearts have been gashed open by the
gravedigger's spade, and when the
dark nights of sorrow have obliterated
all constellations save the one star
which gleamed over the Bethlehem crib
on the night that Jesus was born.
God will bless the Christian workers
of the present generation because
Christ has emphatically and distinctly
promised that by. the weak things of
this world God shall confound the
mighty. That means that no child of
God is too young to lead sinners to the
cross; no Christian’s arm is too weak
to wield a sickle in God’s harvest field:
no liii Is too dumb to utter a fnrreach-
ing prayer, if that Up only belongs to
a true disciple of Jesus Christ.
When Elotiuenee Meant Silence.
We can prove this statement by re
counting the history of the famous re
vival services held among the students
of Edinburgh a few years ago. Henry
Drummond of blessed memory! Henry
Drummond, whoso chief mission was
given to the redemption for Christ of
student life, gave au account of this
movement on his last visit to this
country. A couple of athletes of the
University of Edinburgb were about to
sail as foreign missionaries. Their
j classmates wanted to give them a big
farewell. They hired one of the lar
gest halls in the city. As those athletes
were aliout to go forth as missionaries
they prepared a big religious service.
After these young men had departed a
few of the Christian students left in
the college came together and decided
that they ought to hold such a re
ligious service every week. These
services were to be addressed for the
most part by the students themselves.
A committee was selected and arrange
ments made. Every student who was
asked to address that meeting had to
have two characteristics—the one, a
pure, noble life; the other, he had to be
a man of plain speech. The only bar
to an invitation to address that meeting
was eloquence. If a man was known
to have the "silver tongue” of speech
he was compelled to keep a “golden
silence." What was the result of these
series of meetings, held Sunday after
Sunday In old Edinburgh by plain, un
assuming and, in most cases, by “one
talent” students? Not only did crowds
of students weekly fill tbe hall, but
scores and hundreds of young men
were brought to confess Christ The
like of that religious influence had
never before been seen in old Scotland,
although Edinburgh had been blessed
with pulpiteers whose names were
famous all around the world.
Then the result of these msetlngs
began to spread. These humble, one
talent young men In batches of four
and five were sent to other colleges
and universities and also to villages
and towns. These plain young men,
by consecrated Christian Uvea, not
only moved Edinburgh, but also all
Scotland and all England and all
Wales and, to some extent religiously
influenced the whole world. Mark you,
my Brother, that religions Influence
was not started by a Jonathan Ed
wards or a Robert McCheyna or a
Frederick Robertson, but by plain,
bumble Individuals, who were conse
crating their fives to Jesus Christ. If
God can and did bless those modern
Joshuas will fie not bless us as Indi
viduals if we here and uow consecrate
our lives to ids service and pray and
plead and work as we ought to pray
and plead and work? He will, my
Christian brother. He will, be will.
He will, even though we may be phys
ically and mentally weaklings. He
will if we will only throw ourselves
upon his (llvine and omnipotent
strength.
God will bless the old as well as the
young. Oh, how often In religious
work I have heard this excuse given:
“I believe that I ought to give myself
up to religious work, but the trouble is
I am too old. I have wasted the best
part of my life. I am too old to star!
life over again.” Some people may
think you are rigid in your decision; I
do not. Even now there may be a
glorious time for you, oh, man, oh.
woman, if you will start in Christian
work just at the present time. I do
not believe it is too late for you to
start to serve Jesus Christ; not too
late even though for you tho hour
hand of the clock of time may be
pointing to the twelfth hour and the
minute hand to five minutes of TJ
o’clock.
NeTer Too Old Kor the Lord'* Work.
How old was Moses when he began
to lead forth the children of Israel into ;
the wilderness? Was he a young man?
No. His hair must have been white.
His skin must have been wrinkled.
Michael Angelo’s wonderful chisel lias
cut him in stone as a giant. There
Moses sits iu the Roman capital to
day, with arms and hack knotted in
muscles, with beard tossed of a tem
pest, with features swarthy enough
to frown down any mob and with fists
like a sledge hammer. But with all
of Michael Angelo’s genius he could
not change the facts. Ills chisel had to
make Moses an old man. He had al
most passed his eightieth milestone of
life when he went forth to liberate the
children of Israel from Egyptian slav
ery. How old was Joshua when the
mantle of the dead Moses fell upon his
shoulders? He had already passed his
fourscore years and five. He was al
ready pressing on toward his nine
tieth milestone. So God has for you
and me. If we only throw ourselves
upon his mercy, a mission of Christian
usefulness. He has it even though wo
may be old men and women, with
mauy years of w r asted opportunities to
our discredit.
By an ex-member of my church I can
prove how God can bless a redeemed
life which has been cursed by many
years of sin. Some time ago a poor
woman attended the services of tho
church of which I was pastor. She
wMshed to join, but the members of the
session were very much in doubt about
letting her in. She had been for fifteen
years a dissolute character. Her face
was scarred and seamed with her past
debaucheries. She had by her side a
drunken husband and two filthily
dressed children. The session talked
with her and at last decided to place
her on probation for six months. At
the end of six months she again want
ed to Join the church, and of course we
admitted her. A short time after that
woman moved away and left our
church. A couple of years ago that
woman called upon me. At first I did
not know her. Not only had the grace
of God cleansed her face, but the marks
of dissipation had almost entirely left
her countenance. Though she had not
What the average artist might call a
beautiful face, she certainly had a
good, honest, noble. Holy Spirit inspired
face. Her whole life was changed. It
was now a Christian life of conse
crated usefulness. Oh, my brother and
sister, no matter how old you may be
and how many wasted years are be
hind, shall not God inspire you and lift
you up as he changed that woman’s
life? Shall not the divine pow’or guard
your remaining days as Moses’ and
Joshua's lives were protected?

Kidney trouble has
become so prevalent
that it is not uncommon
for a child to be born
afflicted with weak kid

_ 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
