It fEkV; tj. It is the great medi-

Ij scientific research by
Dr. Kilmer, the emi

wonderfully successful in promptly curing
lame back, kidney, bladder, uric acid trou
bles and Bright’s Disease, which is the worst
form of kidney trouble.
Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root is not rec
ommended for everything but if you have kid
ney, iiver or bladder trouble it will be found
just the remedy you need. It has been tested
in so many ways, in hospital work, in private
practice, among the helpless too poor to pur
chase relief and has proved so successful in
every case that a special arrangement has
been made by which all readers of this paper
who have not already tried it, may have a
sample bottle sent free by mail, also a book
telling more about Swamp-Root and how to
find out if you have kidney or bladder trouble.

BILIOUSNESS

CONSTIPATION
/.CURED BY
Because the liver is
neglected people suffer
with constipation, biliousness,
headaches and fevers. Colds attack 1
the lungs and contagious diseases
take hold of the system. It is safe
to say that if the liver were always
kept in proper working order,
illness would be almost unknown.
Thedford’s Black-Draught is so
successful in curing such sickness
because it is without a rival as a
liver regulator. This great family
medicine is not a strong and
drastic drug, but a mild and
healthful laxative that cures con
stipation and may he taken by a
mere child without possible
harm.
The healthful action on the liver
cures biliousness. It has an in
vigorating effect on the kidneys.
Because the liver and kidneys do
not work regularly, the poisonous
acids along with the waste from
the bowels get back into the blood
and virulent contagion results.
Timely treatment with Thed- |
ford’s Black-Draught removes the |
dangers which lurk in constipation, |
liver and kidney troubles, and will
positively forestall the inroads of
Bright’s disease, for which dis
ease in advanced stages there is
no cure. Ask your dealer for a
25c. package of Thedford’s Black- ]
Draught.

Los Aimelf's. (’ul.. Feb. 20.—In this
sermon the preacher gives a vivid ue-
(icriptlon of the “great awakening’’
which Is just now stirring the Pacific-
coast, contrasting it with other famous
revivals and pointing out the lesson it
teaches to the nation. The text is Reve
lation xiv. 15, “The time has come for
thee to reap.”
“Multitudes, multitudes in the valley
of decision.” rescued by surrendering
their hearts to Christ. Oh, what, glo
rious news it is that reaches us from
all lands telling of old fashioned reviv
als! As in bygone days, God is visiting
his people. On every hand the Holy
Spirit is moving on the dull and lifeless
churches, rousing apathetic Christians
and bringing thousands of sinners to
the foot of the cross. Australia has her
Pentecosts, New Zealand her Ponte-
costs, England her Pentecosts, rock

mas Evans* beloved Welsh hills have
witnessed such an outpouring of the
Holy Spirit as no living man has ever
seen before. Rough miners and cul
tured scholars, old men and children,
have been stirred by a mysterious pow
er and have turned to the Lord.
Our own dear land is sharing in the
blessing. Great tidal waves of revival
power have rolled up from Georgia.
Great tidal waves of revival power
have rolled forth from Pennsylvania
and New York and Colorado. Great j
tidal waves of revival power are now
rolling forth from California to the
far east. Conquering revivalists every
where. God has harnessed to Ufei gos

soul winner of little children, and
scores of other mighty gospel chargers
In this modern work of grace. Truly
God has poured out his Spirit upon all
flesh. Our sons and our daughters are

and Baker and Cartwright and Moody,
lead thou us on in this widening gospel!
movement for the redemption of a sin
ful world for Christ!
But, though the revival spirit has ap
peared in many cities, I do not believe
its mighty power has yet been demon
strated to a greater degree anywhere
than in our own beloved city of Los
Angeles. Here for the past few weeks ,
we have seen many public buildings at
the same hour crowded with anxious
seekers after Jesus Christ. These build
ings were thronged on Sundays. Yes, |
but they have also been thronged on ,
week nights. They have also been
thronged at 12 o’clock noon, as well ns
at 12 o’clock at midnight. They have j
also been thronged in the mornings and
in the afternoons. Everywhere Chris
tian people have been reconsecrating
their lives to their Saviour." Every
where, like the ancient Philippian jail
er, anxious men and women have been
asking the modern Pauls and Silases,
“Sirs, what must 1 do to be saved?”
Everywhere gray haired old folks,
broad chested men and women in the
prime of life and agile limbed, clear ,
eyed youths and maidens have been
praying for salvation; multitudes have
arisen In the public meetings, asking
prayers for their mothers and fathers,
their sisters and brothers, their chil
dren and their friends.
Meaning of the Manifestation.
What is the meaning of all this won
derful manifestation of the Spirit’s
power? Is there any law not yet dis
covered that governs such movements?
Is It possible that in the spiritual world,
as In the natural world, there Is a close
connection between cause and effect?
Is there anything that we as individ
ual Christians can do to bring into
operation these life giving showers of
divine grace? Is it possible that If we
as Christian people continue to obey
God’s law we can have a perpetual re
vival of divine grace In our churches
and homes every morning, every noon
and every night?
Before paying a grateful tribute to
the great evangelistic leaders who or
ganized this Los Angeles revival I
would acknowledge with sincere rever
ence our debt to the inconspicuous
Christians who day by day for months
besonght God for this season of bless
ing. The religious and the secular
newspapers have been giving column
after column of space in recounting
what the consecrated exangelists have
been doing for Christ. Thousands of
sinners In their meetings have signed
the cards pledging themselves to
Christ's strength to lead a Christian
life. The picture of J. Wilbur Chap
man ami Henry Ostrom and W. E. Bie
derwolf and others have been scattered
broadcast In hundreds of homes. But
I am sure I voice their convictions
when I tell you that this great ingatn-
eriug of souls Is not due to their ef
forts. They have been merely the In
struments used of God to reap the
harvest which comes primarily from
the Holy Spirit’s operations. It Is the
work of God In answer to the pleading
of Christian men and women who
spent night after night In prayer bofort
the welcome train brought our beloved
brethren from their Pittsburg, Binning
lem.
The marvelous sights we have wit
nessed in Los Angeles during the 1. -t
few weeks are n<»t the work of any hu
man agency, but of God. Those were
the results ' of faith—the faith that
moves mountains. When God’s people
pleaded with him for this blessing they
put their trust in one who never fails.
