No appetite, loss of strength, nervou#*
ness, headache, constipation, bad breath,
general debility, sour risings, and catarrh

Kodol cures indigestion. This new discov

tion as they extsj in a healthy stomach,
combined with the greatest known tonio

and dyspepsia, but this famous remedy I
cures all stomach troubles by cleansing, |
purifying, sweetening and strengthening
the mucous membranes lining the stomach, j

I .os Angeles, Cul., March 25.—In this
ternion the preacher deals Ui homely,
familiar fashion with the problem that
has confronted every generation since
she world began- the training and de
velopi.!* at of the child -and shows iu
a new li ;lit the individual responsibil
ity i f parents. The text is II Kings i,,
2d. "Is it wuli with the child)”
home time ago it was my privilege to
sp. ad a day with a dear friend, who
for many years was a L'tah mission
ary. In one of his tours he became
lost, lie stopped for the night at a
farmer's home away back in the luoun
tains. Next morning this farmer said,
"Come, 1 want to show you u wonder
ful sight.” Then he took my (/tend
and they rode off for many tidies until
they came to u great lava bed about
two miles wide and four or live feet
hi -i*. 'Ibis lava must bave begun vom
iting forth from a volcano hundreds if
not thousands of years ago. There
npon the top of this lava bed were to
•e seen the footpriiits of a woman and
just behind them the footprints of a
^ittle child. .My friend told me he be
lieved that those footprints must have
iicon made when that lava was fa
process of cooling. They must have
!•; -n made by n woman of the moiled
building period or of’ouo of the oUmr
prehistoric ages. And yet -those in
1! illations in that lava were just as
cicar and distinc’; as though made but
estorday. After my friend had ceased
\ Iking I said to myself: “Yes, that is
a wonderful record, but perhaps we
might see the habits atul customs of
-fune of those prehistoric ages repyo-
bn <*d in our own lives if we could only
tract) them out. Recayse we 'do wot
know from whence our Habits orlgUiat-
d, that does not prove thby have not
been handed down from father to sxtn
even unto the ,tenth generation, as the
Bible tells us is the ease with the con
sequences of a man’s sins."
We often say to outsolves, “How sur
prLse’l our grandfathers and grand
mothers would be if they could awake
and got up out of their graves and see
tin m\dern inventions—the automobiles
and railroad trains a^id telegraplwmd
to eph mo wiros and Skyscraphtg ouieo
bin dings." But I ofteif'tlmik how sur
prised we might be if our great-grand
parents could come lack to earth lind
toll us how many of the customs of our
j.resent lives were practiced miitnyccu-
turies ago. Dr. Sclilieui.iun, the great

such a devotee of the past that he gave

How is t! eliilU physically) Is it
well with bis lungs and Imwt and
stomach? Is bo growing aright? Is
b'* taking enougii exercise? Is he eat
ing the proms' 1:1ml of food? This r
not a sinertluous question. This is tic
sulutation wlileli Elisha gave to tin
Slnmamuiite woman. This is the quo'
tion which every fattoer and mother
should be able to answer InteUigentl:
The picture of every true, loving par
cut ought to he that wlffeh 1 saw in a 1
advertisement some years ago. TUer ■
lu a crili lay a In-atitiful child. Ihe
Cheek was aglow. The eyes were
lasighing. The lips were parted us
though ho was cooing with joy. And
over him bent the sweet face of a lov
lug mother, while under this picture
were the words. “A mother's love goes
out for the health of her child." Does
your love thus go out? Ilow Is your
child physically? Is it well with him?
It is not sutiicieut for us as parents
to simply say, “It is not well with the
child,” as though the child was re
sponsible for all his physical weak
nesses. Then* Is many a child a physic
al weakling today merely because Hie
parent is no more competent to take
care of him physically than I am com
petent to remove a catara<-t from a
blind man’s eye.
A biographer of Ralph Waldo Em
erson tells us that Emerson had three
beautiful brothers, all as gifted as
himself. But all found premature
graves, with the exception of Ralph
Waldo Emerson, who, though he lived
to be seventy-nine years of age, yet
lived for the most part a life of inva
lidism. All tkis shortening of life as
well as the sufi'ering from physical
pain caw be traced for the most part
to the iudifVeivnce of the mother to
the physical health of her boys. This
can be readily seen from the following
letter which Ralph received from his
mother. The young man had just ma
triculated as a Harvard student. The
boy of fourteen years wrote home, as
the biographer says, “telling his moth
er about bis i'uraiLire, his boarding
house and other details of his corporeal
existence.” This was the letter Mrs.
Emerson wrote back to her brifiTant
son: “My Dear Sou—You did right to
give me so early a proof of your af
fection a* to write me the first week
of your college fife. Everything re
specting you Is doubtless interesting
to me, but your domestic arrange
ments the least of anything, as these
make iqffpart of the man or the char
acter any further than he learns hu
mility from his depend aicc on such tri
fles as convenient accommodations for
his happiness. You. I trust, will rise
BUpnior to these little things, for,
thou;-h small indeed, they eoqsume
much time that might he appropriated
to better purpose and far nobler pur-
puirs. Wliat most excites my solici
tude is your moral improvemeut and
your prepress * il virtue.” Do you won
der a mother why would be so indiffer
ent to the physical welfare of titer boys
should lay most of her children in pre
mature graves)
n«* ijiteMiKcnt.
As iutelli-.iujt parents you have no
right to blind your eyes to the physical
necessities of your offspring. Is it
wiAl with the child? Is it well with
the food he eats and the clothing he
weans and the room in which he sleeps?
Is it well with him iu the exercise he
takes and iu the games he plays? Are
you developing good health iu the nurs
ery and in the playground? Remem
ber, the body is the temple of tbellloly
Spirit. AVe you building the right
kind of physical cathedrals? If your
children are not strong physically, what
I‘l the reason) Are you to blame? Are
you fike, Ralph .Waldo Emerson’s moth
er, who thought so much of his brain
that she forgot that a brain without a
stomach is jusfi as useless a St.
Mark’s cump’inile with walls tottering
on account of the loosened^ cement
which should hold its stones together.
“Is it well with th * child?”
But our home greeting should not
stop here. If I enter your domestic
circle and as ^ pastor become one of
your family 1 ipraciicaily come into
your old id roll's mental existence. I see
the boys and the girls sitting around
the horary room, with their books in
their ban Is. I ask: “How are the chil
dren gel bar on.at sclurd? Do they
like their teach or-) Is their work satis
factory?” “Oh. finely,” you may an
swer me. “They are intensely inter
ested in their work. They are laying
tin* foundations of their education se
curely.” But tuio'thoiijiareut may an
swer: '"\Yi M. t® tell the truth, 1 do not
knowMtucb about how they are getting
along. Tin* simple fact is I am so biisy
•it ’the Si ire or in n.y social engage
ments that. 1 have not time to look into
tilth: rtud’es.”
What. I s.;y. can it Jit* that you have
no ihtc os. i i y ..nyvhii Iren's mental
growth) ( in it 1 tin t you have more
interest in the overseer of your ranch
or iu the fou of your factory or
In tic* coach: n of your horses than
you have in tho :.ch oiteachers who
are phubug tl • st nnjc of their Intei-
lecinailty i non your boy's mind? As
you !i,»!; into the past you fully rod lisa*
that ; il y 1 are. in a muutal way. Is
due to th • training you received from
ceita n school or college teachers now
in giory. And e.,u it be that you have
110 ini crest in ant no supervision of
those later Linkers who are molding
your elfiidrcn'.s futune lives? If the
c .It is on e broken in the wrong way
it will never uinomit to much. Thus
the owner of a stock farm carefully
tyatclios every tnov anciet of bis train
ers. Can it be that a Kentucky horse
man is more carol'of training his
thoroughbred coins thb 11 y nTare of the
mental development of your own flesh
and blood? L it wd with the child?
> In this a • of rapid advancement and
of tb • specialization of talent no child
has any chance for suee ; in life un-
?e iu* 1; d , j a i arinlit for life’s
struggle. There is a story told that
many years ago a fallen obelisk was
about to be raised in Rome. The risk
was very great, for if this obelisk was
partly raised and should lie allowed to
fall it mlVbt be shattered Into a thou
sand pieces. The greute t architect of
his time. Domeulew Fontana, prepared
special muelifiicry for the work. The
momentous day arrived. The great
pulleys were put into their places. Tho
heavy rones weru placed around the
backbone of the fallen monster. High
er and higher the mass of stone was
lifted; higher and higher it rose. Al
most It was lifted to tin* perpendicular,
when the cable refused to budge an
other inch. Then it was that a sailor
cried out at the top of his lungs, “Wet
the ropes!” Promptly Fontana grasp
ed the mechanical truth. The ropes
were soaked. On account of the wet
ting these ropes contracted. Then
slowly, but surely, tho obelisk was
drawn higher until It stood straight
upon its own foundations. Ah, the
wetting of the topes did it! And when
the great obelisks of the future, the
great pyramids, the great arches of the
bridges,'are to be built our children]
must know exactly bow to do the work,
j else they will be pushed aside as u e-
les.-; and others will take their places.
They mu d not only be like Dome.dco
Fontana, but they must be like Do
menico Fontana plus the Uiisriigenco
of the sailor boy who suggested wet
ting the ropes. How M your boy get
ting along in school and hi his mental
development? Is it well with the
child?
Are They Drifting?
But 1 have another home greeting.
How are your boys and girls morally)
What is the charaetei* of your children?
Are they like a great, magnificent ship
which has been launched and is fitted
j up with superb machinery, with its
furnaces full of coal, with its provi-
! sions in the storeroom, with passengers
j crowding tke cabins, with sailors at
their posts and with captain upon t! e
quarter deck and with wheelman a-liold
of the wheel, with compass and chart,
; and yet with no rudder for the steering
gear to move) Are your children mor
ally drifting upon the sea of life?
Are your children growing up'with-
1 out any moral character to he shunned
by mankind as a runaway engine is
feared by the railroad men? Up and up
this engine climbs the mountain side.
Then ii reaches file tap. Then, when
the engineer tries to put on die brakes
; for the down grade horror paralyzes
his nerves because he finds Ihe brakes
• will not work. Then, like a fiend of
death, the engine starts on its terrible
I journey. On and on it got , imfil it
; dashes by the little station heedless
of the signals. Then the telegraph 1 a-
, chines begin to work. “Lear the
tr.i -i:!” is the message sent ahead.
“Clear the track! There is a runaway
engine.” Like the hurricane wind, it
rushes along shrieking out it; warn
ings Its wheel just escais-s the pas*
1 senger train which lias puded into the
, side track. On and on it goes, until iu
its mad race it leaps through the draw-
brkl’gc or tumbles down tiie embank
ment or crashes into tho freight train
which has not speed enough to outrun
| It. Then the mangled forms of its en
gineer and fireman are to be found
! amid tin* piled up mills, where iron
bars are bent like reeds and crumpled
j blades of grass. Is that the way your
j children an* growing up,: to be feared
by mankind? Are they growing up like
1 so many children we see about us. who
are never'taught to obey and who nev
er do right unless they care to do
right? lldw are your boys and girls in
reference to the moral law? By the
moral law I mean all those laws that
teach honesty and purity and upright
ness. Do they respect other people’s
rights as they demand that others
should respect their rights:
If you are true parents you know
I that it is no easy task to make your
children obedient to moral law. It is
i only by the most rigid kind of disci
pline that they are taught to govern
themselves, so that some day they
1 may be able to govern others. Dr.
William M. Taylor, late pastor of the
Broadway tabernacle, once gave a
power; ul illustration of this thought,
lie saidythnt many years ago a distin
guished botanist was exiled from his
native land, and he obtained employ
ment as an uudprgardeuer iu the serv
ice of a uobleantu. While he was tun-
p’loye«j in this inconspicuous position
his master received a rare plant as a
gilt. The gardener, thinking it a tropic
al pi nit. pul it in the hothouse, where
it began to wither yind to die. Out*
day tins imdorgurdeu r saw it, and be
went to the head gardener and said:
“.Sir. you liave made a mistake. This '
isuotfi tropical plant, biiLoue that is i
used to the cutting blasts of the arc
tic winds." Then the innazemeut ol i
this nobleman wan unlimited when he •
saw his un.let-gardener not only take
the plant out of the hothouse and place
Uii tin* op *11 air, but place ice around
ihe stca.s of tho plant. Then the plant,
which was dying under the he.it o!
the tropics, began to grow strong un 1
der the cold of the northern Uvoergs.
Thus with character. It is not by !
yielding to the wishes of our childrei 1
that we make them morally, what they
on .lit to be. U Is Mot V.v making ex
(•uses tor them wlnvi they do wron:- 1
that we t *:;c!i them how to do right, i
But it is only by stern, linn, uueuna >k
teachings of right and wroug that we
dc.e. ,, their moral character ns it
ought to be developed. Do not lowe. ,
the moral s' iiidard for your children 1
one inch. Make them toe tin? line of-!
tl; ■ moral code. Do not make the mis- |
take oi old Eli. who hud two s ms, and
they both turned out to be bad boys
because "he I'-stTained them not.” Is i
it well with your children in a ruora.
sense?
K**eU DltK'lillInt*.
Then how is it with your children
xpirfiu.-tHy? We will suppose that you I
have cared for them physically, mental
ly Jimd morally,. but have you aided
them in their spiritual liv< *? liav*
you ever Lut. rusted yourself in their 1
.Sunday scb .ol lessons.? When the even
ing hours come have you ever taken
them upuu your lap to show them the j
Bible pictures? Have you ever told;
them about the great sacred characters
of the Old Testatmnt and tin* New?'
Have you tried to teach them to love'
Jesus Ohrisl and lead them to walk j
hand In hand with their Saviour? You |
know, by the law of pedagogics there J
are two ways of teateblng. The first Is
to bring out or develop what is in the
child, 'the second way is to coutiu
ually have before you an “Ideal child" |
and then try to pattern all'your ehil-1
dren after the Ideal child. In your
rMigious life have you coutluiially tried
to hold before yoUr little ones uud your
boys and girls the ideal child? Have
you tried to pattern your children after
that Ideal child called Christ?
By the higher spiritual law could
you say what the Kbunammlte woman
of my text said if your child was dead?
Supposing one of these terrible quick
and fatal diseases should come to your
home and take away your baby lu a
night and that, as your pastor, I come
to your home and accost you in the
words of Elisha, "Is it well with the
child?” Could you answer, like the
Hhunammite woman: "It is well. Yes,
he is well with Jesus, lie is well with
my dear ones who preceded him. Y'es,
my child is well because he is forever
safe from sirt. He is well In heaven.”
Could you say that? If you could not
say that, you had better beware, for
the death angel seems to lx* partial to
our little ones. Oh. how many small
graves there are in the family plots!
It almost seems that to some of us life
may have a reproduction of that of a
poor washerwoman who some years
ago ennio to a photograph gallery In a
western city. The proprietor looked at
her sharply, for she was evidently very
poor, as he said, “Well, my good wom
an, what do you want?" She said: “I
want to have my baby’s picture taken
if I could, please, sir. But 1 ain’t got
no money. But If you will let me I
will clean and scrub up the floors for
you ia order to pay for the picture,”
Then, when th.* baby began to titter
a plaintive wail, tho poor woman said:
“You see. sir. lx* don’t cry like a well
baby. He ain’t never been strong.
None of njy babies are. I’ve buried
four, and I ain't got no picture of any
of them, so ® t! '"ght I'd try and get
a picture <d’ this one in case anything
should hap’ x. I’d do any amount of
scrubbing if you would only take this
picture, for I'm afraid this little one
might g'0 like the r< The proprietor
brushed away a tear as he said: “Yes,
good woman. I will take a picture of
your baby, Fit right down iftw.” As
I read the s;ory I sail: “O God, art
than going to take away any of my
babies as th ui hast taken so many
other babies) If they are taken away
shall ! be able to have any comfort?
Shall 1 It • b!e to s.,y, •They are well
with tl- <*.” '."cause I have given them
to thee*? A .id if 1 am myself taken
away, spall ! sdll be able to say ere I
go that it Is well with my babies, be
cause ! have taught them already to
meet me L fore the great white throne
iu heaven)"
But 1 cannot close this home greeting
without giving you still another salu
tation. 1 v, nil 1 salute you with the
words, "Is it well with thy neighbor's
child as with thine own child?” And
when I ace d you thus I would tell
you why I d • it. I have had in mind
for some time to preach upon our duty
to care for the abused and neglected
children of the slums. I wanted to do
so today, but the more I thought upon
this subject the more I felt that if a
parent did not realize his responsibility
to his own children he could not realize
bis responsibility to his neighbor's chil
dren. Now. I do believe we realize our
responsibility to our, own. Therefor©
can I not say just a word or two in
reference to our duty toward those
poor little wait's of the street or those
worse than orphans, the children of the
outcasts of sin?
Children of ihe SluntH.
You know how hard it is to develop
children aright even under the very
best conditions. And if there is a bad
boy in your neighborhood at once you
can see the influence of his fife upon
the actions of your own little son ‘if
they go together. What chance has
that little child whose mother is a
drunkard and whose father is a liber
tine? What chan e have those little
girls who are growing up surrounded
by the vitiating and appalling atmos
phere of licentiousness unless the
Christian societies of our large cities
come to their rescue) Do you 110^
know that in our large cities some
lewd and debauched parents have been
willing t > sed their children into a life
of crime when they have not yet en
tered their teens? <) God, as we are
giving our children to thee, can we not
reach out the hum! of rescue and help
this (’bristly \\ork of taking the little
children out of the situ s and putting
them into thine amis, as the mothers
of old gave their little ones to Christ
that he might b'.ees them)
If Christian s .cu-y in die name of
Jesus Chris: will not rescue these chil
dren. in all probability no power on
earth will. Years ago three men were
camping iu it 1* Lndian jungle. Sudden
ly. w i ll :t mighty boend. a tiger leaped
upon tin* back of one of tlx* party. The
two uutoiiclu l e.iu at once climbed a
nearby tree. Then the tiger called to
her young to come and have an even
ing meal. The cv.Ijs were not very
hungry, ho the old mother allowed
them to play with their prey f >r a little
wlrile. After a few minutes tho man
came to. He saw th;* cubs. lie saw
the old motlie'r. Then In: stag wml to
his feet and started to run. His com
panions not only saw hhii. hut hoard
his screams as H'-* tiger brought him
back and laid the man again In the
1 fidxt of her young. Three or four
times the motlx*• ' east lid this. Then
after a while hunger asserted itself.
The play siopjied ami the so;;:.d < ( the
crunching bones was heard. Ah, I
said to myself when I read that story,
how often do w<* see sin playing with
her victims like that? And In no way
does sin seem to play with more fiend
ish glee over her prey than when sport
ing with tin* children of the slums or
with those dissolute or cruel parents.
Oh, my frioijds, if amid the brightest
of conditions we h ive such hard work
to raise our chlld/en right shall we not
in Christ’s name try to rescue these
neglected little ones of the iduiu 1 ,? If
we today try to give our own children
to Christ shall \Vc not try to offer him
our neighbor’s children also? "Whoso
shall receive one such little child In my
name reeelveth me,£ but whoso shall
offend oue of these little oix*s which be
lieve in me It were better for him that
u millstone were hanged about his neck
and that he were drowned In the
depths of the seas.”
