/ o 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 *vy _i, disappear when the kid neys are out of order or diseased. Kidney trouble has become so prevalent that it is not uncommon j for a child to be born afflicted with weak kid- r— " 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- cent and one dollar izes.

Los Angelos, Cal., March 5.—The se cret so long so- gbt by the ancient al chemists is yie topic discussed by the preacher in this sermon, in which he shows bow, though the body may grow old, the spirit may retain its youth and freshness. The text Is Job xxix, 5, “When my children were about me.” Misfortunes are generally gregarious. They are not recluses. They live not « hermit’s existence. Like the beasts of the fields or the birds of the air or the fish of the sea. they browse in herds or fiy In flocks or swim In schools. If one appears upon the edge of our horizon others often follow it with great rapid ity, as do the April showers when "the clouds return after the rain.” They pile themselves upon each other In great drifts, as do the snowflakes. They toll their death knells In chorus. As ‘‘nothing succeeds like success,” so “nothing destroys like misfortune.” Where there is one emissary of destruc tion roaming there are, as a rule, many emissaries treading closely upon its heels. Even when they are small and Insignificant they cripple us by the per sistency of their attack. Naturalists tell us that the small, Insignificant humming bird sometimes alights upon the head of a mighty eagle. There he sits and pecks and pecks, no matter how fast or how high his huge winged carrier may fiy. There he sits and pecks and pecks until after awhile he buries his small beak in the brain of his gigantic foe, who could crush him ns easily as a hawk might kill a spar row, If the eagle could only get at him. Trouble is like unto the humming bird. When trouble struck the grand old patriarch Job, it hit him again and again. First came financial trouble, then domestic trouble, then physical trouble. It was pain in the head, pain In the heart, pain in the limbs, pain in the hack and pain everywhere. Then what happened? . tried to gain comfort from his reminiscences. Job looked hack upon the scene of the hap piest time of Ids life. He pictured him self when he was a young husband planning and working for Ids future. He thought of himself when Ids young wife was by Ids side and his little hoys and girls were playing around in his nursery. Then Job breaks forth In the lamentation of my text, which has come to most fathers and mothers aft er they have reached their twoscore years and ten. “Oh, that I were as in months past, * • ^ when my children wore all about me.” It is a pathetic longing not only that time he halted In its onward sweep, hut he compelled to retrace the steps it lias already taken. Xol a Sinful HcnIi-i-. Is Job’s longing a sinful desire? Is It wrong for us to want to become young again or at least to stay young just as long as we can? I trow not. Therefore the purpose of this sermon Is to show how we can turn back the shadow on the dial of Aha/, not only ten, fifteen, hut even twenty and thirty years for some of us. There is an old proverb which says, “A man is not as old as he looks, hut as old as he feels.” I am going to prove that a man can always feel about thirty or thirty-five years of age, even though Ids hair is white, his nose is bridged with a pair of glasses and he lias to walk about with a staff. How shall we renew the days of our strong, young manhood? L'ir.st, by as sociating with young people, and es pecially with children; by making the Intimate companions of our mature years and of our old age those who are on the threshold of life or playing in the nursery; by stealing or rather con tinually borrowing from our married children their babies; by making our grandchildren come home and live with us, or, if we have no married children of our own, by borrowing the children of nome neighborly grandfather and loving them as we would our own; by firmly and deliberately making a vow with ourselves and with God, “Though I may live to he sixty, seventy, eighty, ninety or a hundred years old, I will never allow myself to outgrow my fondness for little children, and my sympathy for their joys and sorrows, and my unceasing desire for their dally companionship.” Dally association with young people, especially with children, Is essential In many ways for a man’s development. It keeps Ids heart young. Yes, It does more than that. It teaches him what should be his attitude toward Christ and toward Ids fellow men. Borne peo ple cannot understand what this edu cating power of a child’s life is upon a matured man. Why? Like some of us, they have not placed themselves under the tutelage of children. Some months ago I hired a big wagon. I put Into this wagon not only my own children, but I went around and raided the neighbors’ houses and piled In some of theirs. I was the only grown person among them. We took a long drive of about fifteen miles. Then, at the head of my cohort of little ones, I proudly marched Into a restaurant to give them Ice cream before we started hack. As we went in a gentleman standing upon the sidewalk said; "My, man, I pity you! What have you got there—an orphan asylum?” “No,” I answered; “I have no asylum. 1 have a lot of teachers here who are making me love God and love mankind and love life and love everything God has made upon his beautiful earth.” Ilnv* to Hr Youna. When we took that long ride I was the grouts** winner. When those little folks began to sing I found myself singing in spite of myself. When they talked and asked questions I found myself saying to myself: “Yes, Just as these little children are wondering about causes and effects which are so plain to me I am wondering about trou bles in this world the causes of which are plain to God and will yet he made plain to me. All that 1 must do Is to wait, and God will explain all.” When the children became hungry I found myself becoming hungry. When they had their little differences in the wagon I found myself the peacemaker, which taught me a good lesson—how to he a peacemaker among the big hoys and girls called grownup men and women. And, my friend, if you ever want to have that old withered heart of yours beat and throb with happiness, this is what you need to do: Gather all the babies, the hoys and the girls of your neighborhood, together, pile them into a wagon if you are out in the country, leave your wife and the nurse at home, or at least make them ride along in an other vehicle, and then by the grace of God you go forth and learn one of the mightiest lessons of life—how to keep young by hearing part of the joys and the sorrows of the young. Do you know how Thomas Chalmers was able to accomplish his great work of life? He always kept his heart young and fresh and loving by associ ating with the young. His daughter, Helen Chalmers, told my father that during the darkest days of the Free church controversy he would spend part of each day in playing with the children in the house or Hying kites with the hoys upon Edinburgh com mon. Do you know how Walter Scott kept his heart young? He always sought the companionship of the young. He continually had his children or oth er people’s children about him. No more beautiful word picture was ever drawn by author’s pen than a descrip tion of that love by John Brown. In that essay the great author of “Kenil worth” is pictured going through the snow and the sleet to his neighbor’s homes and there bundling up Marjorie ! Fleming, a little girl of live or sW; sum- I mers. In her shawl or his cloak he carries her back to his study. There, while his pen runs rapidly over the pages of Ids immortal hooks, Marjorie chatters on. Study Eugene Field and his love for little children. Study the lives of our authors like Longfellow and our preachers like Beecher and our merchants like Cooper and our elec tricians like Morse and our editors like Greeley and our presidents like*Wil liam McKinley — you will find that, without exception, they kept young by keeping in touch with young people. The Influence nf Children. If 1 did not have any babies of my own I would adopt some. No man can defy the inroads of time unless lie con tinually associates with the young lolks. “What would an engine he in a ship if it were lying loose in the hull?” said Beecher. “It must he fastened to it with holts and screws before it can propel tin* vessel. Now, a childless man is like a loose engine. A man must he bolted and screwed to the community before he can work well for Its advancement, and there are no such screws and holts as children.” xhat Is true. There is no screw or bolt that holds man to the duties of life firmer than the children. But I g even fur ther than diil Mr. Beecher. I hold that th‘Te are no influences more effectual to keep us young while we are per forming those duties than these same little ones. The host way to seo the sunbeams dance is to watch them through the dancing eyes of a little child. The best way to siqpoth out all the wrinkles of old age Is to bury them In the dimpled cheek of a smiling baby girl. The best way to send the blood coursing through the withered arteries of threescore years is to play “blind man’s huff” or “hide and seek” with the hoys and girls a tier the supper ta ble is cleared and the school lessons have been learned. The best way to grow young is to associate with the young. God pity you if you cannot find any enjoyment In making the snows of December melt before the life giving rays of May or June. How shall we renew youth? By com pelling our minds year in and year out to seek new fields for mental and moral anil spiritual investigation and new applications for doing our regular work, by forcing ourselves to take up new lines of study, by saying to ourselves, “Though I may live to he fifty or sixty or seventy years of age, yet I will nev er cease to be a student, and I will never cease to he interested In the ad vancement which Is going on all around me.” Yet we find the strange fact that many men after they have made their success In one line of work as a rule are satisfied with that success, and be cause they are satisfied they begin to wither and shrivel up and gradually go Into mental and physical decadence. How They Became Foaalla. This mental and physical depletion which conies from being satisfied with a past success cannot be better Illus trated than by some of the faculties of our old colleges. Now, U»e college faculties of both the east and the west were originally made up of picked men. The presidents and trustees of those Institutions In almost every case se lected the very brightest and best stu dents of their classes. They were the honor men of the colleges who were asked to fill the honored professorial chairs. But, marvelous to say, although the college faculties of the old Institu tions In my day had been recruited from the brightest men. yet almost Without exception those faculties had a large percentage of men who seemed to be simple relies of the past They seemed to be muimritle men. entirely out of touch with They were wall m camated “d»t , 'e « amples of Do''1 lecture. The' 'esent day e\< 1 s. 'ciila* roots ic i- m pel r 'orinthla; i- to lie m 1 had learned one thing well, but ay toon as they had mastered that one line of study all their mental faculties were then allowed to become dormant. Thus they withered up Into a fossilized and embalmed old age. Conditions In our college faculties have radically changed since the time I went to college. Dr. William R. Har per, the great president of Chicago uni versity, has led in this mlgl^y reform. I As the head of one of the greatest uni versities of the west he has practically •aid this: “We do not want any of our college professors to nrwk time in this mental advancement. We expect them not only to do their class room work, hut to keep on in their original Investi gations. These Investigations each year are expected to take wider and wider scope.” And what will he the result? Instead of Chicago university faculty being burdened in the future with a lot of old men at forty or fifty years of age it will he blessed with a number of young men—young In heart, young in mind, young in purpose at seventy or even eighty years of age. “Oh, no.” says some one to me; “that is not right. If I work and work hard up to sixty years of age I have a right to retire from work and have a good rest. If I live ten years more I intend to hand over the business to the hoys and just turn myself out to grass and do nothing hut play and play and play. I know if I can stop work I cun live longer and have a good time besides." Is that your idea of the way of spend ing your years when you pass the three score milestone? Well, my friend, if that is your expectation of spending your life when your hair has become silvered I tell you you will he doomed to hitter disappointment. In the first place, you will not have a good time if you stop working. In the second place, if you stop working, instead of prolong ing your Life, as you expect, you will shorten it by many years. I have rare ly seen it fail where a man voluntarily gives up work so that he can pass a lazy old age that he is a miserably uu- happy being and finds a premature grave. And 1 have rarely found it to fail if an old man branches out In new work that the years of his earthly life are increased. Hard Work and Loiik Life. As a rule, the greatest thinkers and the hardest mental workers in the world have been among the longest lived men. Study the long list of men old in years.but young in heart,branch ing out into new work when at seventy years or beyond. Marden, in his*book “Bushing to the Front,” has a marvel ous collection of illustrations In refer ence to this fact. Dandolo, the doge of Venice, was a warrior who led his sol diers iu battle at ninety-four and was offered n crown at ninety-six. Titian at ninety-nine was struck down with the cholera in Venice when he was at work on one of his canvases. Pope Leo XIII. at ninety-three was the most powerful personality in all Europe both on account of his pontifical throne and his own powerful mental equip ment. When an American bishop said to him, “Your holiness, we hope God may let you live to become a centena rian," the pope answered: “My friend, do not try to limit the power of God. I expect to he its hard at work after I am it hundred years old its I am now.” Dr. Samuel Johnson wrote his greatest hook when nearly eighty. James Watt learned German when he was eighty- five. Isaac Newton and Benjamin Franklin were hard at work on scien tific subjects when over eighty. Lord Palmerston and William E. Gladstone were both prime ministers of England at fourscore years. “Robert Hall,” says Marden, “learned Italian when past sixty. Noah Webster mastered seventeen languages after he was fifty. And some of the best works of Long fellow. Whittier and Tennyson were written after they were seventy.” Aged friend, the reason you are growing old and withering up be cause you have stopped branching out. You have taken in sail and are drift ing, simply drifting, toward the rocks of death, and drifting fast. Take a new lease of life by taking a new Inter est in things. Study, study, study. Work, work, work. Go and hear every fine singer and every good speaker and read every new book that you cau. The most foolish law the United States government ever made was when it es tablished old soldiers’ homes, where the old veterans of the civil war could go and live and do nothing. If an old soldier Is physically helpless, then, of course, he should he cared for. But a well soldier In Danville, 111., or Santa Monica, Cal., or Milwaukee, W’ls., or the Old Soldiers’ home In Washington should he encouraged to work If he Is able to. Stagnation means premature death, mental and physical as well as spiritual. “It Is better to wear out than to rust out,” Is a poor maxim. We have no right to do either. But I would tell those who are coming on toward old age there Is more danger for most of us of rusting out than of wearing out. Don’t Talk of Troubles. How should we renew the strength of young manhood? By never talking about our ailments or misfortunes If we cau avoid it. If the rheumatism will pull at our nerves and swell our Joints, then as far as possible don’t mention It. If the holidays bring np sad memories, then If we must cry let us go to our rooms and have a good cry alone, but not before others. If we were once wealthy and some old friends of better days will now have nothing to du with us. then do not keep burdening those who are still faithful to us with Htir never ending tales of woe. The most common sense pre scription I ever saw written by a pby •Iclan was not to he taken In small pills, but in knockdown doaes. The prescription was a sign placed In the rotunda of a large sanitarium In the central part of New York state. It was in a most conspicuous position, where ah 'he ii.itlents could see & It B+m- WiiS* read thus: “Don’t talk about your palna and your ailments.” “Doctor, why did you put that sign up?” I asked. “Why,” said he, “that sign has cured more of my patients than any twenty prescriptions I ever wrote. Every morning my sick people would come down and greet each other as follows: ‘Good morning! How do you feel? Did you sleep wel’ last night? Is your headache better?’ Then the per son accosted would begin to rehearse till the hours she lay awake and all the pains she had. By the time she was through the story her pains would ag; in begin to gnaw and her nerves to twitch and she was on the way to an other sleepless night. Don’t talk about yon - .' ailments. It is by talking about the troubles of old age that we Increase those troubles." But, though talking about the trou bles of old age always increases those troubles, yet most people love to re hearse the misfortunes of the past. They never seem to he happy unless they are talking about their miseries. And, furthermore, they never seem to be happy unless you are ready to talk about them also and to expatiate upon them. Benjamin Disraeli, late premier of England, well understood this law. One day he was walking through one of the streets of London when he met a gentleman. This man spoke to him as though they were old friends. “Well.” said Disraeli, “how is the old complaint?” With that the gentleman | started off on a long account of his troubles. After they separated another man who was walking with the English statesman at the time said, “Disraeli, who Is your friend?” “I do not know; I do not remember ever seeing him be fore.” “Why did you ask him, then, ‘How is the old complaint?’” “Oh,” said Disraeli, “all old people have troubles of some sort, and it pleases most of them to talk about them. I rarely make a mistake if I say. ‘How Is your old complaint?’ It pleases them to recount their troubles, and it does not hurt me.” Yes, it may not have hurt Disraeli when that man talked about his troubles, but it did hurt the speaker. The easiest of ways to lighten the burdens of old age Is to hide them from the eyes of others. Fit Them to Take Your Place. But lastly, I remark, the easiest of all ways to renew youth Is to try to fit others to take your place after you are gone. Of course I take for granted that I am today talking to Christians. Now, as aged Christians, you are near ing the great dividing line which is go ing to bring you to your eternal reward. As you are nearing heaven shall you spend most of your time talking about heaven and its eternal rewards? Oh, no. You must spend nearly all of your last days in titling the young men and women by your side to take your place. You must he to your sou and your daughter and your friends what Paul was to Timothy, and Elijah was to Elisha, and Christ was to his disciples. In the anxiety to fit others to put ou your own armor you will find your own heart throbbing with the ambitions of youth. You will then find old age tak ing on the beauties of youth, even as In the Indian summer the flowers of the late autumn start to grow again after the forests l ave incarnadined the leaves with their life’s blood. Old age should pass its twilight hours as I would puss the few intervening days prior to making a long journey away from home. If I was to go to Africa or Europe or Asia as an Ameri can soldier would I spend my last days here in weeping? Oh, no. I would spend the few days before I sailed in preparation. 1 would say to my wife: “My dear, you do this or that or the other thing after I am gone. I must put enough money In the hank in your name to meet your wants.” If I was a merchant, I would say to my son: “Son, you are now to take charge of the store. I do not want you to run into debt. Keep the business going along on its old lines.” If 1 had one hoy who was a wayward son I would talk to him about God and his future. I would try—oh. try so hard—to lead him to Christ. Each moment of my life would he spent in the best way I could for those I would leave behind. And In looking after their interests I would find my life growing in beauty and In joy. Aging men and women, are we spending our lust earth ly days like this? Are we trying in ev ery way to fit those who are to take our places to do as well as we have done or even better? As old doctors are we helping the young physicians? As old ministers are we guiding the young ministers? As old Christians are we trying to make every one with whom we come in contact Christians? Ah, this is the chief way and the happiest way that we can renew our youth and prepare ourselves for the eternal Joys of the never ending youth of heaven. When my father made his last visit to his old classmate, Dr. Suydam, he said: “Well, Suydam, we are coming near the end of our earthly journey. How do you feel about It?” Some of us are not as old as was my father when he asked that question at seven ty years of age, but we are all heading toward old age. How will we feel about It when it comes? We shall feel about old age nil right if we live ac cording to the Christ law. We will feel about It all wrong If we do not do as Christ would have us do In fitting oth ers for life’s battles and fitting our selves for heaven. May God make the twilight of our earthly life the most beautiful and the happiest part of our day. May the twilight of our earthly life, sinking behind the western hillock of our grave, be colored with the same beauties ns is the beautiful sunrise of heaven, which even now we can seo gleaming in the east over the hill of Calvary and over the central cross upon which once hung the dying body of Christ, who died that we might for ever live in him and through him and with him.
