t Women as Weil as Men Are Made Miserable by Kidney Trouble. I Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, di» Courages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor and cheerfulness soon disappear when the kid* neys are out of order or diseased. Kidney trouble has become so prevalent '!~V that it is not uncommon ^ for a child to be born ^ afflicted with weak kid* * neys. If the child urin ates too often, if the orins scalds the flesh or if, when the child reaches an age when it should be able ta control the passage, it is yet aftlicted with bed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause of the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first Step should be towards the treatment ol these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condiUon 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 r.:ed the same great remedy. The mild and the immediate effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.

Alma was the name of the artist’s god father, which he adopted, it is said, bo that his name might come earlier in catalogues, etc., ns “A” naturally pre cedes “T.” Sir Laurence, !>y birth a native of Holland, became a natural ized Englishman many years ago. He is very fond of England, having made his home there since 1S70. When Sir Laurence received the honor of knight hood from Queen Victoria he was the recipient of a doubtful compliment from a lady friend. “Oh, dear. Sir Laurence,” gushed this hasty speaker, “I am awfully glad to hear of the honor you have received. I suppose now that you are knighted you will give up painting and live like a gentleman.” At times when you don’t feel just right, when you have a bad stomach, take something right away that will assist digestion; not something that will stimulate for a time but some thing that will positively do the very work that the stomach performs un der ordinary and normal conditions, something that will make the food digest. To do this you must take a natural digestant like KodoV For Rvapepsia, £r>dol ’s a 'rtetltiflc pre- ' ’ paratlon of vegetable acids with nat ural digestants and contains the . same juices found In a healthy sto- *mach.

Los AurpIps, Cal., Feb. 9.—That hu man life is brief and Incomplete and that individuals as well as nations have a duty to fulfill In perfecting the labors of those who have gone before is the lesson of this sermon. The text is Joshua xl, 15, “He left nothing un done of all that the Lord commanded Moses.” One of tfle saddest places to visit is the study or oflice of a great man who has suddenly been called away by death and 1ms left his things in just the way he was accustomed to use them. Some years ago I visited Wash ington and Lee college in Lexington, Va„ and went Into the president’s room, wiiere the great Confederate general Robert E. Lee did his last work. There was the chair In which he used to sit. There was the table at which he used to write. There was his old ink well and the very penholder which he had joined together with his own hands. '1 ,iere were his slippers, waiting to rest his tired feet when he drew off the heavy army boots he al ways wore when out tramping. And there was the paper all ready for his next letter. But suddenly the death angel came and touched him, and, though Robert E. Lee in his time com manded one of the greatest armies, he hail to obey the sudden summons of death. He could not delay his going one week or one day or one hour or one minute or one second. He could not say: “O death, let me complete some unfinished business I have at my office. There are certain papers I want to sign and certain documents I wish to correct.” No: Robert E. Lee could not go back to complete one page. In an Instant he had to be gone. The la bors of his busy life were left to be finished by other hands and his incom plete problems to be solved by other brains. Bertel Thorvaldsen, the great Danish sculptor, was one of the most rapid workers that ever lived. What Rubens was to Antwerp this modern Phidias was to Copenhagen, the capital of the north. But his works are not all to be found in Denmark. As with the “Lion of Lucerne,^ his master pieces are to be found scattered over Europe. But even Bertel Thor valdsen did not complete all that he wanted to do. On March 24, 1844, he was tit work in his studio upon a colossal statue of Martin Luther. Sud denly there walked in an intimate friend, Baroness von Stumpe. She wanted him to come and dine with her family. He refused. He said, “No; i must finish the s.atue.” But finally, overpersuaded, lie dropped his chisel and xvent t > her home to dine. That night, a short time after eating, pain gripped his heart, and iu a few min utes lie was dead. There today iu the great Nation..! museum of Copenhagen is the unfinised statue of Martin Luther which Tin rvaltk cn tried to complete, but did not have time. He left his W’ork to be finished by other hands and his problems to be worked out by other minds. Lord Macaulay’s Task. One of the most nathetlc incidents in literature is related of Lord Macaulay, the charming historian, who at the be ginning of his great work wrote, “I purpose to write the history of Eng land down to a period within the mem ory of men still living.” But he did not live to fulfill his purpose. Death culled him, and he laid aside his pen. When his nephew’ went Into the his torian’s study after his death there lay the unfinished manuscript. The last words he iF.d penned were those de scribing the death of one of England’s worthies, who, Macaulay said, in words that might have stood for his own epi taph, “died grieving, as only noble minds can grieve, that he must leave ids work only half finished.” When Charles Dickens dropped his magic pen his novel “The Mystery of Edwin Drood” was already three-fourths- written, hut it was published as a frag ment, and, though many have attempt ed to finish it. no man could do It as Dickens would have done it. Dickens, | like other great men, left his task un finished. Had tk'*se men lived a little while longer they would have been able to complete the work they had mapped out in their minds. And what is true of great men is also true of peo ple in ordinary walks of life. When they pass away they generally leave some unfinished labor which they had hoped to complete. This will be true also of our life work. This is true of nations as of Individ uals. The new generation inherits a responsibility for the completion of great enterprises begun by its prede cessors. It would be a degenerate gen eration that deplored the death of the great men dead, yet made no effort to continue their work and carry it for ward to success. The torch that drops from the dead hand must not fall to the ground. Some hand, perhaps not so illustrious nor so able, must take It Up aud, humbly doing its best, carry It forward to triumph. Were it not so the world would not grow ai.d much of the liest nml -most beneficent labor would l>e lost. The Work of Joshua. Moses had bis work to do. God give to him a definite commission. He had to lead the Israelites out of Egypt, through the wilderness and up to the Jordan. Then he was laid aside. Joshua, the soldier, the younger man, came in to finish the labors of Moose, the organiser and lawgiver. The one completed the task of the other. “As the Lord commanded Moses, his serv ant. so did Moses command Joshua, aud so did Joshua; he left nothing un done of all that the Lord commanded Moses.” Now, the great question which comes before us Is this: Are we ready to take up aud carry forward the unfinished labors of those who have gone before as Joshua completed the work of Moses? There is a great deal of unfinished work in the old homestead. Your fa ther and mother were not lazy or neg ligent people. They worked from early morning until late at night. They were not extravagant. They did not run up useless expenses. When they passed away they did not leave a lot of bills unpaid. At their funeral you did not have a broken column of flowers stand ing at the head of the casket, symbolic of the fact that they were snatched away in their prime. Their lives for the most part were well rounded lives. When they died you chiseled the same passage of Scripture on both their tombstones: “Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from hence forth—yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors, and their works do follow them.” But were those labors of your father and mother completed? If they were upon earth, would they not find something which they would like you to do? You were a mature, educated man when your father died. Why? You were one of the oldest children, aud your father was able to do for you what he could not do for your young est brother. It was a hard struggle, but he sent you through school and college and educated you as a lawyer, a physiciafi or a civil engineer. Yon have been getting on splendidly. But how about that younger brother? “Oh,” you answer. “John is not earning his salt. He is no good.” No good? I think John has the making of just as good a mau as you. What he needs is an education. What he needs is a de veloped and a disciplined braiu. He is only twenty years of age. What would you have amounted to If you were thrown upon your own resources at twenty and allowed to make your owu way in the world—perhaps sent into a store as a clerk instead of being sent to college? You had better put your shoulder undfr that brother's load. You had better economize and save and give your youngest brother an ed ucation. That is what your father would do if he were alive. That is what he did for you. Is It square aud right for the older children to have all the education of the family and the younger children have nothing? Another Duty Left. But that is not the only duty left to you by your father aud mother. There is a moral as well as a financial duty for you to perform. There is the bind ing duty which you have to your brothers’ and sisters’ souls as well af» to their minds and bodies. You know that your parents always had a favor ite iu the family. That favoritism was migratory. It would continually change. There was one child that your mother seemed to love more than any other. That was the sick child or the wayward child. You remember years ago when you had typhoid fever? Then you had the bed of honor in the home. You slept for weeks by your mother's side. Then when you were convalescent your sister came down with the croup, aud she for a time be came the favorite. You were soul into another bed, and your sister slept be side your mother. Next your brother had trouble with ids spine. Your moth er was always talking and worrying aud thinking about John. Then you became wild and dissipated. Your col lege life was not uniformly irreproach able. You did things you had no right to do. What happened? Don’t you re- member the pleading letters she used to write? Don’t you remember how she prayed and talked with you? Don’t you remember how her love brought you back to your better self? There Is a story told of a young mau who was dying. He had led a wild, sinful life iu his youth, but the last few years he had surrendered himself entirely to Christian service. He was dying a triumphant Christian death. Just a short time before he passed away a sweet smile overspread his face, aud he threw an arm about the neck of the broken hearted woman who was bending over him and said: “Oh, mother, I thank God for such a mother! You have loved me into be ing good!” Yes, when you were way ward aud sinful your parents loved you into being good. But that is not what I want to Impress upon your mind. Your mother and father are dead. Who have taken their positions In your brother’s life? God knows he Is wayward. God knows he Is doing what he ought not to do. God knows he Is drifting further and further away Into sin. Who Is loving him Into being good and loving him back to the cross? Is not that an unfinished labor of the old homestead which your father and mother have left for you to complete? Another Unfinishod Labor. But there are other unfinished labors for us iu the home. We have inherit ed from our ancestors work In political as well as in domestic life. When we think of the framers of the constitu tion of the United States we must not think of men who were satisfied with what they accomplished. The constitu tion, though one of the most wonder ful documents ever written by the pen of man, was far from satisfactory ,to the men who wrote It. The statements contained therein were the best that could lie agreed upon at the time. It was a constitution of expediency, not of perfection. Many were the laws some men wanted to embody there, hut could not; otherwise the thirteen colonies would never have become the United States. Study the developments or the ricuend- ments to this constitution. Those amendments were the best that at that time could be framed. But those amendments could and should be Im proved upon. The work of a constitu tional convention had its development iu the thirteenth, fourteenth and fif teenth amendments. But the work of our ancestors is still unfinished. High er and higher must we climb—higher and yet hieher. And as the patriots of the past, like Moses, devised our constitutional form of government, so we, like Joshua, must continue their labors and complete their unfinished work. Aud by the grace of God we are do ing it. Just as certaiuly as tkjfe sun rises Ri the east and sets l-i the west I believe one of the next ^ amend ments upon the constitution of the United States is to be a clause pro hibiting the sale of intoxicating poi sons as a beverage. The southern states have set before us an example of what the temperance people can do. The northern people helped the southern people to free themselves from the curse of slavery. But today the southern people are helping the northern states to get rid of even a greater curse. They are setting us an example that deserves our imitation. They are showing us how to get rid of a curse that is enslaving the souls of thousands of our citizens. When the north sees the south prospering without the saloon, growing in afflu ence and happiness, it, too, will awak en, and one community after another will declare for abolition of the traf fic until we become a sober as well as a free people. T!m r e are to come constitutional amendments in refer ence to our divorce laws and consti tutional amendments in reference to our interstate businesses. Gradually and yet surely the work of constitution al development is going to continue ns it has in the past under divine guid ance been continued. Moses did his difficult work well and faithfully. Joshua succeeded him and completed It. Thus God bids us to complete the work which our anees'ors have begun In the constitution of the United States, 0.S our children and children's children must continue our work after we are gone. > A Nation Under Protection. Oh, that we would plead as much for the divine protection In the develop ment of our government as our ances tors pleaded for that grace before we were born! We cannot in too nmuy ways honor that divine guidance. Some time ago the president of the United States had stricken off one of our na tional coins the famous motto first put there by Salmon P. Chase—“lu (iod We Trust.” Our president is a devout man whose motives are above suspi cion. He removed the words, he ex plained, because they were made a sub ject of ridicule. But many of us re gret the act. The motto was appro priate for a nation with such a history as ours. As I looked at those words I could see tin* Mayflower pilgrims crossing the Atlantic to Plymouth rook. I could picture the strange and won derful movements which led up to the Revolutionary war. I could see our forefathers stan ling with the Declara tion of Independence in one hand and with the constitution of the United States iu the other. I could see Wash ington on his kuees at Valley Forge, and John Marshall and Alexander Hamilton doing their work, and Thom as Jefferson and Livingston and Mar cus Whitman doing their work, and Abraham Lincoln on bis kuees in the White House. Each generation had a work for a Moses to do. May we as true patriotic Joshuas trust him and continue to trust him in our hearts and lives though the words “In God We Trust” be obliterated from every coin turned out from our national mints. God has blessed our national life iu the past. “And Joshua left nothing undone of all that the Lord command ed Moses.” But when thinking of the great law givers of our political life my mind naturally turned to the great leaders of our theological life. Some of you know that it has been asserted that the form of the United States government was copied from the form of the Pres- We Sell YtHbl on the positive guarantee that if it does not give satis faction we will return the entire amount of money paid us for it. We mean this— and ask all those who are sick and need strength to try it with this understanding. byturUa cfcurcfc of BofnlflaM Jmbm G. Blaine hi one of his speeches claim ed this fact to lie true: but, whether It Is true or not. one fact Is certain—no temporal government is better than the prevailing spiritual creed. If a people have a cruel, a malformed, a bestial idea of divine truth, the government of that people is sure to be a debased government, and there Is no exception to the rule, so back of the movers of the amendments of the constitution of the United States, back of the signers i*f the Declaration of Independence, brn !; of Samuel Adams and Harrison Gray Otis, we must find our John Eli ots, and Roger Williamses, and La- Kalles, and John Knoxes, and Latimers, and Ki<l!eys. and Luthers, aud Calvins, and Savonarolus, and all who have tried to represent God to the world as a God of love. You could no more have Plymouth rock without Marston Moor or the Declaration of Independence without Bannockburn than you could have a physical body move and eat and drink and walk without breath in the I no ’tr’Is. Our temporal governments ! are only the echoes of our spiritual bo- 1 liefs. The church or the mosque or the temple always stands above the leg!dative hall more potent than the throne room, and there is no exception to the rule. A Broader Catholicity. As the mighty lawgivers of religious reformation have done their work, have they not left us some of then , unfinished labor to complete? Shall we not today get a broader catholicity, ! a wider sweep of Christ’s true purpose: , What is the use of having all these dif- I ferent Christian denominations, work ing in many senses against each other.

Mystery and Tragedy That Encom- the Great Eastern. Then, v.aa a mystery about that ill fated tdiip. Nothing went right with her. Fhe stuck at the launch, and it cost au extra .'<.'>50.000 over and above the sum set aside for the purpose to get her into the water. On her trial trip her boilers burst, killing some of the stokers. Then she ran aground and carried on so outrageously thai her crew thought her surely bewitched She had started badly. While she was building a pay clerk sent by one of the contractors with ?6,500 in wages for the men disappeared. It was not unnaturally assumed that he hud bolt ed with the money. His wife and family were left unprovided for. with the stigma of ids supposed crime upon them. Thirty years after her launch the Great Eastern went into the cemeb-rv at Birkenhead to be broken up. While she was being taken to pieces the ship breakers dbovered between her inner and outer casiugs of stool the skeleton of a mau. Papers which had fallen from his elothes enabled his identity to be traced. It was the skeleton of th-' pay olerk who thirty yeart* liefore had disappearod. There was ho mon ey; that was never recovered. The f-Upp ...itSoil is that the poor fel low on going on to tlie ship was pounc ed upon by workmeit who knew that he had the money with him; that they stunned him and. having a small place in the side of the vessel to complete, crammed his body in ana built him up In It. No reward would have induced a sailor to sail in that vessel had ho known of the terrible secret sealed up in her walls.—Chicago News.
