Indigestion Causes
Catarrh of the
Stomach.
For many years It has been supposed that
Catarrh of the Stomach caused indigestion
and dyspepsia, but the truth ^s exactly the
opposite. Indigestion causes catarrh. Re
peated attacks of Indigestion inflames the
mucous membranes lining the stomach and
exposes the nerves of the stomach, thus caus
ing the glands to secrete rnucin instead of
the juices of natural digestion. This Is
called Catarrh of the Stomach.
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure
relieves all inflammation of the mucous
membranes lining the stomach, protects the
nerves, and cures bad breath, sour risings,

•e of the old folks is heading to-
v.a.d almost certain shipwreck. The
older members of the church Intuitively
know when any proposed course is
right, and they intuitively-know when
it is wrong. Reiter, rather, heed the
advice of the old Christians than any
other class of laymen.
Love of the Old Por the Yonnnr.
“But,” says some young minister or
Christian Endeavorer, “the diffiev. y
with the old folks is that they are out
of sympathy with the young folks.
What are we to do when they do not
synipath with us?” My young
friend, you are mistaken. The oju
church members are not out of sympa
thy with the y ung folks when they
are ac-tiug wisol. It Is only when they
are rash and imp- ident. Furthermore,
of all admirers at helpers whom the
young minister lias in his congregation
no class is more loyal to him than the
white haired eiders and their wives.
As a rule when men and women groiv
old they do not want fo go to old peo
ple's homes and ass< -iato with old neo-
pic, but they want to associate with
the young. Especially do they love to
haVe a young man for their pastor.
When my father, a very young man,
was called to Syracuse, X. Y., the most
prominent man in tnat part of the
state was a member of his congrega
tion. lie was at that time over eighty
years of age. ly legislative halls he
had sat the eontempora y and thejFom-
peer of Clay and Webst t, and he him
self was one of the giants of the bar.
My father was at that time undevel
oped and immature. Yet every Sunday
this big brained, silver tongued orator
sat at bis feet, as William 2. Gladstone
sat at the feet of his own son in the
little ebureh of I la warden. One day a
friend came to him and said, “Well,
senator, how do you like the young
preacher?” With that the old man an
swered: “I am a very old man. 1 have
seen and heard much. But I believe
the youug man is truly trying to serve
his Master. Therefore I shall do all I
can to help him. Besides, my friend,
the older u man grows the more he
likes youug men and young men’s
preaching!” Oh, ye young men in the
gospel pulpit, hear it! The best friends
a young minister has are the old folks.
Beware when the voices of the aged
are not heeded in your church councils.
When a young minister gets out of
touch with the older members of his
congregation be is always out of touch
with the best interests of his church
and out of touch with the real teach
ings of- Jesus Christ.
But the next class of a minister’s best
friends to whom I wish to call your at
tention ure the prayer molding people.
I allude to those who, week in and week
out, month in and month out, year in
and year out, ev^ry Wednesday night
as far as they are able always wend
their way to the week night service as
regularly and as conscientiously as
they go to the breakfast table in the
morning and come home after their
business at night. These prayer meet-

Dr. Hamilton, who stood by the black meQ and women who could nei
ther read nor write, he felt he had but
little use for his hooks of classic lore.
So he left them all behind and took
along with him Ids Bible. He devoted
himself to the study of the gospelsUnd
♦he teachings of Jesus. He not only
read and reread those gospels, but he
tried to live that life among his ig
norant congregation. The result was
that when he came back to America
and some of the great pulpits of the
country called him he knew nothing
but Jesus. He preached Christ. He
lived Christ. So absorbed *was he in
the life of Christ that he leaned entire-
tial and the humble there are words of
cheer and congratulation In this ser
mon, ns well as encouragement in well
doing. The text is Romans xvi, 9, “Sa
lute Urbane, our helper In Christ, and
Stachys, my beloved.
Have you ever wandered over any of
the great battlefields of the world?
Have you ever had a guide lead you
over’the blood soaked soil of Gettys
burg? Then you have beeu struck with
the fact that no one squad, no oue com
pany, no one regiment, no one brigade,
no one division alone fought that bat
tle. The success of General George G.
Meade or of Robert E. Lee depended
not more upon the generals; being
faithful than upon all the colonels and
majors and captains and sergeants and
corporals and private soldiers being
faithful and working together and in
unison. The difference between a con
quering army and a mob is the differ
ence between men working together In
an intelligent way to achieve a desired
purpose and a conglomerate collection
of individuals, each claiming that his
own will is the equal, if not the supe
rior, of all the other wills and intelli
gences about him.
What is true of the army is absolute
ly true in reference to business. How
is the Panama canal to be dug? By
the United States commissioners ap
pointed by the president? By the chief
engineer? By the contractors?- Oh. no.
As in die mercantile establishment, the
buyers, the advertising agents, the
tioorwalkers, the salesmen, the delivery
wagons, all work together in unison
and each as a co-operative agent helps
the other, so in the Panama canal all
the different departments are working
together. Each man is helped by some
oilier man, and each man tries to help
the other men. Now, what is true in
the army and in the business find in
the contractor’s world is eqbally true
In regard to church work. Here we do
not find the minister himself doing all
the work. Paul himself could not do
it. He had his helpers, his associates,
his workers. He himself tells us that
Urbane and Stachys were his associ
ates in God's work. Neither can the
church members make a successful
church unless there is co-operation In
the pulpit. Thus the purpose of my
sermon today is to show you who are
the minister’s best friends; who are the
men and the. women upon whom- he
should most wisely lean and whose ad
vice he should be most anxious to fol
low. I speak thus not only to help the
pew, but also to answer letters which
have come to me from all parts of the
country, written by young ministers,
asking what course they should take in
reference to their church work.
Who are the minister’s best friends?
In the first place, they are the old
folks. They are the men and the woi
men who have been walking with Je
sus Christ twenty, forty, fifty or even
sixty years. They are the church mem
bers whose hair is white, whose step
is often infirm and whose hearing
sometimes must have the sounding
But bow prone the young minister Is
to follow after those who are rich or
socially strong In a community and yet
not noted for their Christian consecra
tion! How common it is for the rich
merchant to be the president of the
board of trustees, even though he be
not a church member. How easy it is
for the young minister to yield to the
worldly elements of his congregation
who want fine music in the choir loft,
even though that music has to be ren
dered by men and women who never
have professed Christ as their Saviour
and who are notorious for their indif
ference to all things sacred and divine!
How liable the minister is to lean upon
those who never lean upon Jesus and
then to expect his people to be spiritual
people! God forbid that in any church
the pastor should seek for ! & chief ad
visors and leaders those •!!:> think
more of the cut of their outer garments
than they do of their inner consecra
tion, for those who would sooner go to
a ball or a card party or a theater than
to the house of prayer! When the lead
ers of a clfurch are unsauctified they
become the leaven which leavens the
church loaf.
But there is still another class to
whom I wish to call .your attention.
The new minister’s best friends are al
ways to be found among those who
were the best friends of the minister
who preceded him in that ptilpit. They
are to be found among those who are
always ready to praise their last min
ister’s virtues and never allude to his v
failings. They will tell you their last
pastor had the loveliest wife and the
finest children and the happiest of
homes. They will say: “Yes, our old
pastor was a good man. I never sat at
his feet without receiving a blessing
from his sermons.” And these friends
of the old minister did receive u bless-
to his friends, “Where is my wheat?”
The first returned to him his two bags
of wheat, which be had kept for tlje
merchant In a storehouse. The grain
was mildewed apd useless. The sec
ond friend took the merchant out upon
the hillside and showed him his fields
below In the valley waving with golden
headed wheat ready for the sickle.
“There is your wheat. I have grown it
all for you. It is all yours.” Then
said the master: “Give me ray two
sacks of grain back, and the rest shall
be yours." So it is In the missionary
work of the church. When our church
leaders help us to scatter the gospel
Seed upon the other side of the sea they
have faith that God will give us a ten
fold, a hundredfold blessing. It is not
when a church lives for itself that It
prospers, but when it lives for others.
Scatter your missionary seed, and the
abundant spiritual harvest shall be
yours.
But, lastly, I remark that the min
ister’s best friends are to be found
among those who are ready and will
ing to work in inconspicuous places.
These best friends are not the men who
want to push their way into the high
est places of the synagogue. -They are
the men and the women who are ready
to take the humble places, the insignifi
cant places, the places which, as a rule,
hut few people want to fill, and be
cause these men and women are will
ing to take humble positions, how r great
a temptation it is for the minister to
give the highest positions to those who
will not work In the church unless they
get these high positions! I have never
found a true, loyal friend to a minister
unless that friend was as willing to
work in an inconspicuous as in a con
spicuous place.
This nation can well rest her safety
upon the loyalty of her people. Men

Then our old pastor’s children wanted ( that. And that church is safe which is
all the oliices. His daughter was the ; filled with members who are ready to
work in the inconspicuous places as
well as in the conspicuous. And, my
friends, as a minister I again want to
add my testimony in reference to this
line of thought. I have never found a
church layman who was not willing to
work In an inconspicuous place In the
church, who was ever a true, loyal
friend to the minister, if he was placed
in a conspicuous one. And, further
more, I have never found a man will
ing to work for Christ in an incon
spicuous place who, If Christ called
him to a higher position in the church,
was not ju t as true and faithful in
the higher position as in the lower.
I have preached this sermon for two

thing now Is going to be different. We
have you, and all will be well.” Yes;
things will be different, but only in
name. Young men, you who are about
to enter Die Christian ministry, always
fight shy of Ihe church members who
would try to praise you at the expense
of the noble men of God who gave the
best of their lives to your pulpit before
you came to It. If they are untrue to
your predecessors, they will be un
true to you. I always have my sus

receive the rebuke which a minister
gave to his daughter who was criti

was saying her friend was “odd” and
“peculiar.” “Yes,” answered the old
father, “she certainly is odd and pe
culiar. She is so odd and peculiar that
she was never heard to speak ill of an
absent friend.” I like that. We can
not be untrue to our absent friends and
at the same time true to those who are
