Thousands Hare Kidney Trouble
and Don’t Know it.
How To Find Out.
Fill a bottle or common glass with your
water and let it stand twenty-four hours; a
sediment or set-
— tling indicates an

tion of the kid
neys; if it stains
your linen it Is
evidence of kid
ney trouble; too
frequent desire to
pass It or pain in
the back is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and blad
der are out of order.
What to Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
of the urinary passage. It corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
It, or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect of Swamp-ttoot is soon
realized. It stands the highest for its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.
If you need a medicine you should have the

CURES
STOMACH
0 l 'HE body gets its life from
* food properly digested.
Healthy digestion means pure
blood for the body, but stomach
troubles arise from cardessness
in eating and stomach disorders
upset the entire system. Improp
erly masticated food sours on the
stomach, causing distressing
pains, belching and nausea.
When over-eating is persisted in
the stomach becomes weakened
and worn out and dyspepsia
claims the victim.
Thedford’s Black-Draught
! cures dyspepsia. It frees the
stomach and bowels of congested
matter and gives the _ stomach
new life. The stomach is quickly
invigorated and the natural
stimulation results in a good
appetite, with the power to thor
oughly digest food.

Los Angeles, Cal., March 12.—In al
most every home throughout the hind
the topic chosen by the preadier In
this sermon is a more or less familiar
one. The text Is Proverbs x, 1, “A fool
ish son Is the heaviness of his mother."
Death Is an enemy. The Bible dis
tinctly declares It. I remember some
years ago, when visiting one of the
New Zealand cities, this thought was
impressed upon me as never before. A
young man, a musical genius, had late
ly come from London and captured that
whole city by his organ playing. He
was to play that Sunday In the church
where we were worshiping. The night
before, coining home from practicing
upon tho keys, he sat down to eat din
ner with his wife and two children.
Suddenly he began to gasp. A fish
bone had caught in his throat. In a
few minutes he was dead. The whole
city was shocked at the awful trag
edy. The church was draped in black.
The organ was covered with crape.
Among the sobs of the dead man’s
friends his pastor preached a eulogy
upon this young man’s life from I Co
rinthians xv, 20, “The last enemy that
shall be destroyed is death.” As the
preacher uttered those solemn words
they sank into his hearers’ consciences,
an axiomatic truth.
Oh, yes, death is an enemy. Death
at times seems to be a cruel and a
merciless enemy. It breaks asunder
the marital bands. It lifts the little
buby out of the crib and shuts her for
ever from our eyes by the closing of
the coffin lid. It strikes down the stroug
man who is proclaiming God’s word In
the pulpit. It empties the office of the
physician who is bending over the pa
tient It sometimes sends the pleading
lawyer to the grave oven before the
murderer whom he has defended expi
ates his crime upon the gallows.
A Living; Sorrow.
But when listening to that sermon in
the faroff country of New Zealand I
soliloquized thus: “That widow is to
day having her heart crushed by the
hearse’s wheels even as the Indian
juggernaut used to mangle the bodies
of the Hindoo devotees. But a living
sorrow can be more formidable and a
more awful enemy than a sorrow of
the grave. The fiendish acts of a disso
lute, a debauched, a drunken, a cruel
or an unfaithful husbaud can weigh
more heavily upon the wife’s heart
than the corpse of a dead husband.
And by the same reasoning the evil
deeds of an undutlful or unfaithful
son fail upon the parental heart with
a more crushing weight than the sod
that falls upon the coffin lid of a dead
child. Thus today, from a parental
standpoint, I would preach upon the
Agonizing sufferings of a father and a
mother when their children go astray
and do wrong. I include here the fa
ther’s sufferings, as well as the moth
er’s. The full wording of the verse of
my text embraces both parents. “A
wise son maketh a glad father.” That
sentence. Interpreted from the negative
standpoint means, “A bad boy maketh
a sad father, and a foolish son Is the
heaviness of his mother.”
Why sad? Why heavy? First be
cause the true father and mother can
never separate their Joys and sorrows
from the joys and sorrows of their
cliild. Though a man may live after !
his right arm has been amputated, the ’
hand and the arm cease to live as soon
as the surgeon’s knife has cut the ar
teries and the bones which unite them
to the shoulder. But here nature
seems to reverse the conditions of life.
Though a child may live Independent
of his parent, a true parent can never
live Independent of his children. From
the parental standpoint the parental
life and the child life are not only
bone of one bone and flesh of one
flesh, but their existences are truly
grafted upon each other.
Law of Love Is Unequal.
From the standpoint of a child you
may not believe this. You ask: Is not
the love between parent and child a
mutual love? Why, then, should not
its saparatlon affect the one equally
with the other? Oh, no! The law of
love is unequal. The one who makes
sacrifices has a stronger affection than
the one for whom the sacrifices are
made. I go into the sculptor's studio,
and I say: “Thorwaldsen, why art
thou bending so lovingly over yonder
piece of cold marble? Has the stone
a heart?” “Oh, no,” answers the Dan
ish sculptor. “I do not love this stone
because it has a heart. I love It be
cause I have put my heart Into It in
my effort to bring out the beautiful
figures which there I see slumbering
or beckoning to me from the cold
stone.” Why does the artist love his
canvas and the composer his oratorio?
Because their life’s work has gone into
the creations of those masterpieces of
art or of music. Why did Christopher
Wren's life seem ter be anchored to St.
Paul's cathedral and Isaac Newton’s
life to his laboratory? Because in
these places those men spent most of
their earthly existence in order to
work out the problems of their lives.
Love Inspired by sacrifice. That Is
true. Then how can a true father and
mother help loving their children?
Bow can they ever separate their ex-
Istenoe from the Joya and sorrows, the
tqcoeeeee and failures of their children?
Oh, bow many sacrifices they have
made! Was It ten years of sacrifice?
More than that—twenty years, thirty
years, forty years. For years and
years the burden of raising their fam
ilies never left their minds and hearts.
If I could take you hack to your old
homestead thirty years ago, I would
find all you children sound asleep. The
mother and father—what are they talk
ing so earnestly about? "Father,” says
the mother, “cannot you meet the mort
gage on the farm unless we cut down
our expenses? Then I will have to let
the hired girl go. and I will do my own
cooking and washing.” “Well.” said
your father, “we must not economize
at the children’s'expense. I must make
more money. We must raise the chil
dren right. They must be educated.”
Cannot Pornret Them.
Why did your mother’s hair grow
white at thirty-five years of age and
your father’s face begin to he “crow
marked?” Neither in the morning,
noon nor night could they be found
shrinking from their unceasing labors
for feeding, clothing and educating
their children. Now, man. do you think
it is possible, after a quarter of a cen
tury of the hardest kind of work has
gone for the support and development
of the children, that the parents could
ever be Independent of them? Oil, no.
Your father practically said: “If my
children turn against me, then will my
life be a failure Indeed. If my boys
turn out badly and my girls do not do
what they ought to do, then will earth
ly life hold hut little joy either for me
or their mother.” My friends, your
fathers and mothers worked too hard
for their children for you to disappoint
them in the results of their life’s work.
No matter what you do or say, you
cannot make them forget you or cease
to live for you. Even the sinful plot of
a Hebrew prince to steal from a father
his throne could not make David do
aught but qling to Absalom while he
was alive and sorrow for the wayward
boy after he was dead.
But another reason why the burden
of a sinful child Is hard for the parent
to bear—no sooner does a hoy or a girl
begin to go astray than a true father
and mother agonize on account of the
stingings of a bitter self reproach.
Mark you this, wayward children—your
parents do not blame you entirely for
your sins. They are blaming them
selves. They are looking away back
over tho scenes’of the past They are
saying to their own hearts: “Did I do
right when I let my boy do this or that
or the other thing? Did I set my
daughter the wrong example? Did I
pray earnestly enough for my children
when they were In my own nursery?”
Oh, the sadness; oh, the sorrow; oh.
the bitter, hitter pangs of a merciless
self denunciation which comes to the
parents when their boys and girls turn
out badly! “A foolish son is the heavi
ness of his mother.” Aye, heavy in
deed is ho not only on account of the
boy’s sins, hut also on account of those
of his parents.
Let me illustrate my thought by a
very common incident in life. There
comes a quick ring at the bell. The
summons calls me to go to your home.
There T find your wife dying. I bring
to you all the gospel comfort I can. I
say: “Mr. So-and-so, God’s will be
done. The Lord gave, and the Lord
taketh away; blessed be the name of
the Lord." You say nothing. You
keep your lips closely sealed. The
more I call the less I find that you are
comforted. At last, some day when
we are alone, I say, “Mr. So-ard-so.
what is the matter?’ “Well,” you an
swer, “I do not know what to think.
You say it Is God’s will that my wife
died. I know It is not God’s will. I
know my negligence killed her. For
months and months my wife coughed
badly. She had two or three hard
spells of sickness. The doctors told
me she ought to go south, but some
how I could not bring myself up to the
resolve to let her go. The Journey
would cost a lot of money. Besides
that, I needed her by my side. I could
have saved her if I had sent her south
in time. Oh, why did I not let her go?
Why did I not let her go?’ That is the
remorse the true mother and the fa
ther have when their boys and girls
go astray. “Oh, why did I not do dif
ferently when my children were by
my side? Why did I not pray more
and live better than I did?’
Trusted Too Much.
But, my friends, though your parents
made many mistakes In your bringing
up, tell me were not most of their er
rors made on account of the gentleness
rather than the meanness of their
hearts? Even in« their weaknesses
would you not have bad them just as
they were? Let me see; you started to
go astray first because they trusted you
too much. They never thought that
you would or could do wrong. When
you came home from college they were
so proud to see you. They had kept
sending check after check. My, how
hard It was to get that money! But it
was for their boy. And, oh, the awful
awakening they had when they found
the money they sent, that hard earned
money, was being spent for sin! Don’t
you remember how their hands trem
bled when they were placed upon your
shoulder and their lips quivered when
they kissed you for the first time after
that shock? Don't you remember how
their tears—not your tears, but theirs—
were left upon your cheek when they
kissed you, a prodigal, returning home?
Don’t you remember how angry your
father became when your employer
first Insinuated that you had embez-
sled some of his money? Old as he
was, his clinched fist was ready to
knock that employer down. But after
the undeniable proofs were presented
what did be do? Did he allow you to
be sent to Jail, as you ought to have
been? It did no good to pay up that
deficit or embezzlement Since then
you have been cheating every one else
you could. No, he did not let yon go to
Jail. He took every dollar that he had
saved up to care for your mother and
himself in their old age. He turned
it all In and signed notes for a thou
sand dollars more to save you from
your just punishment. He ought not
to have done It, but now lu his old age
arc you still going to sin and have him
lacerated by remorse because he has
been too kind to you?
But Is It to be wondered at that par
ents, on account of their great love for
their children, err many times over by
being lenient? For years I never had
sympathy for fathers and mothers who.
as 1 expressed it, were willing to pay
their children’s expenses to perdition.
I always said if I had any hoys and j
they got drunk once I would forgive j
them and get their clothes out of pawn !
and got them on their feet again. If
they stole once I would keep them from
going to Jail. But, If they did It the sec- 1
ond time, to Jail or to the county poor '
house they would go. As my own
boys are now growing up, do I think I l
would do It?' Perhaps. But I fear I
would do just as most fathers do. I !
would make the mistake of giving all I
had, of running into debt and, If ueces- !
sary, perhaps of destroying my own |
good name, If I could only save my I
boys. Oh, wayward children, It Is not :
you who should blame your fathers and
mothers for kindness which proves to
have been mistaken! They were Indul
gent to you, they were blind to your
faults, they trusted you, believing that
you would do right. You see now, as
they see, that it would have been bet
ter for you If they had been more strict
and severe. But will you blame them '
for that? It was their love for you
that was their fault. How have you re- |
paid that love? Return. I beseech you,
and beg their forgiveness.
Backx Too Weak For Bardcnti.
But there Is another reason why we
sympathize with broken hearted par
ents who are bearing the heavy bur
dens of wayward and sinful children.
Those burdens are placed upon backs
too weak to carry them and upon
hearts when they are too tender to
suffer. It makes a great deal of differ
ence how a man can bear a burden,
whether he Is old or young, sick or
well, tottering or straight limbed. You
would not hitch an old horse up to a
load lie could easily have drawn In his
prime. Neither, foolish son, should you
make your parents In their old age
bear the burdens of your sins.
How old are your parents? “Oh,”
you say, "father Is about sixty years
of age, and mother Is about the same.”
You know when our parents married
they did not do as do many people of
the present day. They did not wait
until they had amassed a fortune.
Then the daughters were ready to start
with the sons at the bottom of the lad
der to climb up. Therefore they mar
ried when they were young. Once
young together, now they have grown
old together.” And then yonr lip quiv
ers as you say: “But mother Is not as
strong as she used to be, and that old
pain has come back In father’s heart.
He had a fainting spell last week.”
Ah, yes, they are growing old together!
Perhaps one of them Is already gone.
Is It not a mean act, an awfully mean
act, on your part to take a broken
down woman or an old broken down
man and place upon them the burden
of your unpardoned sins? They once
carried you in their arms; now you
ought to be willing to let them lean
upon your arm. They once wiped
away your tears; now you should bo
willing to wipe away theirs. They
once lived and are still living to make
you happy; now you ought to strive to
make their last days happy. Do not
put that heavy burden of your wicked
ness upon their hearts. They am too
. old to bear it.
“But” some one tays, “my old father
and mother are not entirely dependent
upon me for their happiness. I am not
the only child. As my parents are old
fashioned folks, so they had an old
fashioned family. Their family was
a big one. I hate four brothers and
three sisters, and, with the exception
of one brother, we are all alive today
and have families of our own. Two
of my brothers are gospel ministers.
I am Che only black sheep in the fam
ily. Thus yon need not worry about
the old folks. Five children out of
six who are Christiana la not such a
bad record.” Ah, my brother, when
you speak like that, even though you
are married, I know you have not yet
fathomed the depth of your mother’s
and Dither's love. The true Christian
parents' happiness la dependent not
upon the Christian Uvea of a few, hut
of all their children. No matter how
many children a Christian mother has,
she is never happy unless all are in the
gospel fold. She wfll never be happy
if one fingers outside. You remember
the old story of how a rich man want
ed to adopt one of the children of .a
large family belonging to a German
peasant The rich man said to the fa
ther, “I will take any child you se
lect” That night while all the chil
dren were asleep the father and the
mother went from bed to bed to make
their choice. “Not this one,” said they;
“not that one;” “not the other one.”
So they went through all the rooms.
Though they had many children, they
could not let one of them go. So, my
friends, though you may have brothers
who are Christians and sisters who are
Christians, that la not enough for that
old gray haired father and mother.
They want all their children to be
Christians. Will you not leave the
crooked path of sin today to make
them happy? Year sins, your unpar
doned sins, are pressing heavily upon
their hearts.
“Oh,” says some one, “would that I
could do as you ask! I would do any
thing on earth If I could only lift the
burden of my sins, which I compelled
my dear old father and mother to car
ry, hut It is too late—It is, alas, too
late! They are now forever past car
rying the burden of my sins. My fa
ther died aa did the father of the
Scotch poet On hla sickbed he was
asked by hla minister If he was worried
about anything. Then my father look
ed at me aa the father of Robert Burns
lookad at hla son on a similar occasion,
and he answered: 'Nothing. I am wor
rying about nothing except my boy
Robert.’ But father Is dead now. I can
never bring him back to tell him how I
have repented of my past sins.”
Bearing Bardenn In Heaven.
Your father and mother beyond the
burden of your sins? Friend, I do not
know about that. Even lu heaven I
think they are still longing and hoping
for our salvation. 1 for one cannot un
derstand ho\jr there can be Joy In heav
en over one sinner that repentoth and
not any thoughts about us who are
still unrepentant One of the greatest
of New York pastors once told me that
when anything went wrong In his life
he used to feel the warm, loving arms
of his redeemed daughter about his
neck, and he could hear her dear lips
speak to him words of counsel which
would bring him to his better self. I do
not believe it beyond the range of pos
sibilities for our dear ones to be anx
ious about our unrepentant souls. Even
now I would not be surprised If they
were sending forth an angelic messen
ger to find out what our decision Is to
be. Heaven, beautiful heaven! Have
our redeemed parents any burdens
about our unpardoned sins In heaven?
Perhaps by taking you on a past
Journey to the place where I spent
most of my boyhood days I might help
you to a decision to give your hearts
to Jesus Christ. The Journey which
you are to take occurred a short time
after my father’s burial. After his
body had been laid away to sleep by the
side of my mother I said to my sister,
“Come, let us go and look at the old
house.” We walked down the street
where we both had played many years
before. As I went along I began to
call up the names of the different
neighbors. <But the houses now had
strange faces looking out of the win
dows. The little children who were
playing in the street looked much like
my old playmates. They laughed and
shouted and Jumped Just as we used
to Jump, but their eyes were different.
They edged off from the sidewalk as
we came along. We were strangers to
them. They were strangers to us.
Ah, yes. here Is the old house. It
stands as a sentinel overlooking Fort
Green park, where one of the old Revo
lutionary battles was fought and where
some of the old Revolutionary veterans
lie buried. From the outside the old
house looked about the same. There
was the vine mother planted, still
crawling over the side and clinging to
the roof and trying to cover up tho
windows. Indeed, the house looked so
much like the past that I thought for
an Instant mother would be waiting
for me In the front room to welcome
me home from college. Just to the rear
of the house was the old grapevine ar
bor built by Captain Spicer before he
lost his wife and manly son, whom I
can Just remember. I had often taken
my dessert of fruit there before I an
swer the dinner bell. But, come; I
must not linger outside. Here, let me
take a peek in at the window. I won
der If yonder policeman will think I
am a thief. He wears Just the same
kind of brass buttons as did the officer
who used to chase me off the park
grass when I was playing “hound and
hares” and climbing up yonder walls
more Hke a trapeze performer than a
hare scurrying for her burrow.
VlnltlnR the Old Home.
Yes, here is the parlor. There I saw
my first Christmas tree. There they
laid me as a little baby In a basket as
a Christmas present for my father.
There, In that same room, I first saw
the dead face of a relative. My broth
er’s casket lay there. Mother’s body
was covered with flowers there. And
there we met to laugh as well as to
weep.
Up and through the house we went.
Each room had for us a history. In
each place we could see the living and
the dead side by side. Now It was a
sister In her bridal robes, now a death
bed scene, now—but stop; I cannot go
further. You would not have me if
you could. The history of my old homo
was merely the history of yours, only
under other names. With us it was
Jessie, De Witt, May, Edith, Frank,
Daisy, Maude. With you it was Ger
trude, Sarah, Carrie, William, John,
Walter. Names different; scenes all
the same.
That afternoon I went away from
the old homestead with a sad heart.
“All that scene of love gone forever!”
I kept saying. “All gone, all gone!” Is
It all gone forever? But that night as
I sped on west toward my own home,
where my wife and children were wait
ing to greet me, I was looking out of
the train window. I had my cheek
resting upon my hand. I know not
whether I was asleep or awake. But,
whether asleep or awake, suddenly a
strange vision came to me. I seemed
to see the dear faces of my loved ones
who are gone. Among the twinkling
stars of the night I saw their bright
eyes and heard them speaking to me.
They seemed to say: “The past is not
dead. We are going to have our re
unions again. We are here waiting
We are waiting for you. Will you live
for Christ as we lived, that we may
have these reunions?’
Are our parents In heaven concerned
about us? They so loved us here, they
were so anxious about our best Inter
ests, that I cannot believe they have
forgotten us now. What news could
so gladden their hearts, could the an
gelic messengers that pass from earth
to heaven bring to them, than tho nows
of your repentance? Shall we let them
wait and keep waiting for our answer?
Father, mother, we are coming! Yes,
in a little while, after we have done
our work for Christ, we shall come.
Oh, sinful child, thou art not an or
phan I You have a heavenly Father
waiting. You have a redeemed earthly
father and mother waiting. WQt thou
not lift from them the burden of their
anxiety? Wilt thou not enhance their
heavenly Joys by the aaeuranee that
thou art coming to complete the fam
ily circle around the throne?
