Jr - Kidney trouble has become so prevalent "'jj that it is not uncommon :/ for a child to be born afflicted with weak kid- h -T* 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 t>ed-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. ryon By Rev. Frank DeWitt Talmase, D.D.

No wonder that among the royal wardrobes of Herod the Great was found a garment made en tirely of silver threads and that Pliny the younger wrote of a Roman lady who had a dress made up entirely of precious pearls. If the adornments of the apparel of the ancients were so ex pensive, we can understand why Solou and Pythagoras and Cato and Fan nins and Didius by “sumptuary laws” tried to restrict extravagance in dress. An Oriental Description. Now, what gold and silver and pre cious stones in dress mean to the west ern mind myrrh and aloes and cassia in a sense mean to the oriental miud. As I would say to you, “Her dress was sparkling with jewels,” the oriental, to depict sumptuousness and expensive ness of apparel, would say, “His gar ments were aromatic with myrrh and aloes and cassia.” Myrrh was oqp of Thedford’s Black-Draught comes nearer regulating the entire system and keeping the body in health than any other medicine made. It is always ready in any emergency to treat ailments that are frequent in any family, such as indigestion, biliousness, colds, diarrhoea, and stomach aches. Thedford's Black-Draught is the standard, never-failing remedy for stomach, bowel, livrr and kidney troubles. It is a cure for the domes tic ills which so frequently summon the doctor. It is as good for children as it is for grown persons. A dose of this medicine every day will soon cure the most obstinate case or dys pepsia or constipation, and when taken as directed brings quick relief. Danvu.lk, III., Dec. 23,18C2.

Tliolr llenlinur Vlrtne*. How do I know this? The symbols of the myrrh and the aloes and the cas sia teach it. They were all used medic inally. “The myrrh, as is well known,” writes an authority, "was celebrated for its use in medicines. The ancients prepared a wine of myrrh and also an oil of myrrh. It was found as an in gredient in many of the celebrated com pound medicines.” “Myrrh is especial ly of great use.” says another author, “along with uloetic medicines and com pounds of iron.’^The medicinal quality of aloes is defined in every dictionary, and cassia was also used as a drug by the ancients.' Thus when we come in touch with Christ’s wedding garments we know* that they are going to heal all of our diseases and assuage all our pains and he the balm which will, take away every heartache. In Goethe’s “Faust” we are taught that the royal robes of God shall appeal to us mostly by sight and not by touch. But I would change the wording of the master poet of Germany, as I describe the healing qualities of Christ’s wedding garments, as follows: Here at the roaring loom of time I ply ••Ye!

No, they will never become yellow and worn, as are some of the bridal dresses; that were worn many years ago. They will never be put aside as useless. The wedding songs that we shall sing at the marriage of the Lamb shall never have an end. The raptur ous joy with which we greet our dear ones on the other side of the Jordan shall never grow monotonous. The loving kiss which the Divine Bride groom places upon the lips of his bride shflU never become cold and indiffer ent.

Among Berlin’s guests at that time were the king and queen of Saxony, the Grand Duke Alexis of Russia, Crown Prince Ru dolph of Austria, the crown prince of Sweden, the present king of England, the lute Duke of Aosta of Italy and scores of other notables. The young bridegroom came from Potsdam at the bead of his gigantic foot guards to meet his bride. On the day of the cer- emony the homes and the stores and the .public buildings were decorated. When the nuptial vows were taken the cheers of the people who crowded the streets about the royal palaces echoed the thirty-six salvos of artillery which thundered the news to the world that Prince William and Princess Augusta Victoria were one. When Napoleon III. in 1S.33 rode to the Cathedral of Notre .Dame to be united in marriage with Eugenie, the most beautiful woman in Europe, the progress was one continuous ovation.

Dr. Kltto tells us this: “Myrrh was offered in presents, as natural products were iu those days, because such as were procured from distant countries were very rare. In the same way we often hear of a rare animal or bird being presented to royalty In the present day.” “The aloes of Cochin China,” wrote Dr. Faussett, “are worth their weight in gold.” The value of cassia also was enormous. It was used, as Dr. McClintock in forms us, as an ingredient in the cost liest unguents. When the psalmist tells us that Christ’s wedding garments smell of myrrh and aloes and cassia we know that he means us to understand how precious they will be. Let us consider what makes them precious. They are the glory of our Lord. He pill wear them iu joy and gratitude for the sacrifices his people have made In his cause. They are go ing to cost all the moneys we give to our churches and to our reformatory institutions. We must give this money for Christ’s robes. He bids us give. They are going to cost all the moneys we send to foreign missions. “Go teach all men” is the Bible command. Not only have they cost money, but blood. They are going to cost all the blood of the martyrs which has been shed in the past. Ah. now* the ex pense of those wedding robes is rolling up.

We silently entered the sick room. The breathing was heavy and low, but the eye of the sufferer was bright and happy. A strong, young man stood by the side of the sickbed. The nuptial vows were spoken. The young bridegroom could give to the bride his love, -but he could not give to her health. The words “till death do you part” never had such solemnity for me as at that service. Even then death was saying to the couple being the ivory temple of heaven,” I might have had my doubts abqut it, but there is no doubt here. Just as ^ou and I, perhaps, have been married in our own homes surrounded by our fathers and mothers and brothers and Sister and dear friends, so in that “ivory palace of heaven” we are going to have a “home wedding.” Yes, they are all go ing to be there to meet us, just as they were when here. That little curly head ed daughter who slipped out of your embrace long years ago will be there, w*ed: “You must part. You must part I as sh® was when here. That dear at once. I am death, and I am coming i mother who lived for you and died to court your bride.” But at the hea^- ! ^ or y° u > 8 ^ e will be there.

The Supreme Coat. But the supreme element in the cost of those wedding garments Is the blood of Christ himself. It was by his own suffering and death that he won the right to wear them. Do you wonder that Isaiah when In prophetic vision he sees these wedding robes describes them by their color-the color of the bloody sacrifice? “Who Is this,” cried he, “that cometh from Edom with dyed Is it Right? Hosts has set his throne. The mar riage of the Lamb will be the grandest and most glorious of all unions, when Christ takes to himself his church, which lie has redeemed with his pre cious blood, “a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, holy and without blemish.” Human Imagination falls to conceive of a spectacle so glorious. Let us in stead of dwelling ou the marvelous .scene take but one detail of its beauty, the wonderful garments with which the Divine Bridegroom is to be robed on that glorious occasion. The psalm ist mentions them In the words of my text. They are wedding robes that have the aroma of myrrh and aloes 1 and cassia. Lot us try to describe them and to learn a few practical gospel les sons from them. The royal robes of the Divine Bride- with aloes, a medicine, and with cas sia, a medicine. A Joy In Suffering. But have the royal robes of Christ no higher purpose than the mere preven tion of pain or of heartaches? If that be all the efficacy of these wedding "garments of the Divine Bridegroom, then I say let me have my pain and heartaches. There ’s sometimes' a joy in suffering. There is sometimes a peace in pain. As Tennyson writes. “It is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.” That wed ding ring upon your hand—would you wish never to have had it placed there? It may be many years ago since the hand that put it upon your finger was laid in the grave.

I fear that some of us who are invited to be at the wedding ceremony may not be present. It is one thing to get an invitation to the marriage ceremony; it Is another to he there. Shall we at this moment say to our Divine Bride groom: “Jesus, thou Prince, we will not love thee; we will not unite with thee; we shall not live with thee iu an ivory palace of heaven since Ave have not lived with thee on earth.” Shall It be that all our dear ones who have gone beyond, who are waiting to listen to our nuptial vows with Christ iu the ivory palace of heaven,shall have to wait for us in vain? Supposing you refuse to meet tho Divine Bridegroom at the marriage al tar of heaven, what will Jesus do? What will your loved ones, your wife and mother and father and little child, who have gone beyond—what will they all do?
