This woman says that sick
women should not fail to try
Lydia E. Piukham's Vegetable
Compound as she did.
Mrs. A. Gregory, of 2‘555 LanTonce
St., Denver, Col., writes to Mrs.
Pinkham:
“ 1 was practically an invalid for six
years, on account of female troubles.
I underwent an operation by the
doctor's advice, but in a few months I
was worse than before. A friend ad
vised Lydia E. IMnkham’s Vegetable
Compound and it restored me to perfect
health, such as I have not enjoyed in
many years. Any woman suffering as
I did with backache, bearing-down
pains, and periodic pains,should not fail
to use Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound.”
FACTS FOR SICK WOMEN.
For thirty years Lydia E. Pink-
ham's Vegetable Compound, made
from roots and herbs, lias been the
standard remedy for female ills,

women who have been troubled with
displacements, inllammation, ulcera
tion, fibroid tumors, irregularities,
periodic pains, backache, that hear
ing-down feeling, flatulency, indiges
tion, dizziness or nervous prostration,
W by don't you try it ?

Sermon
By Rev.
Prank De Witt Talmafe, D. D.
Buck!en'e Arnica Salve
Ifes Best Salve la Tbs WsrM.
Los Angeles, Cal., Feb. 16.—That the
power of evil habit may reassert itself
after many years and that even a
good man may fall hack Into sin unless
divinely fortified against temptation
Is the practical lesson of this sermon.
The text Is John v, 14, “Sin no more
lest a w’orse thing come unto thee.”
Calvinists and Arminians have bat
tled for generations over the question
whether it is possible for a man who
has once been converted to fall Into
sin and be finally lost. The question
is uo nearer a settlement than It was
a hundred years ago, but I think there
Is one aspect of it in which both would
agree. Unhappily there Is no room
for dispute about the facts. The Meth
odist points, In proof of his contention,
to men who are sunk in vice and deg
radation, who were once believed to
be true Christians. The Presbyterian
sorrowfully admits the fact, though he
explains it by saying that such men
were never children of God. and they
deceived themselves and deceived the
church, or else they were Christians
and will j-et be saved through discipline
that God will use to bring them flack
to his fold It Is of these men I would
speak this morning.
We are down by the pool of Bethes-
da. In all probability this was a min
eral spriug, like a Yellowstone geyser.
Samuel Barnes thinks it may have
been. At certain times this pool erupt
ed. and at the first troubling of the
waters they had a curative quality at
tributed to angelic action upon them.
The sick and the diseased would gather
there ready to plunge in at the aus
picious moment. The first who stepped
into the water at that time was cured
of his or her ailment, hut one poor man
was there who was so weak and slow
In his movements that he could not en
ter alone. Tie seemed to have no
friends. Reading between the lines, I
think this man’s sickness may have
been the result of a past evil life. Sin
and physical agony are sometimes, hut
not always, concomitants of each oth
er. Jesus saw and had compassion on
him, he looked so sick and wan and
helpless. Then Christ cured him. Then
Jesus meets him afterward in the tem
ple and speaks the words of my text:
“Behold, thou art made whole. Sin no
more lest a worse tiling come unto
thee.”
We may wonder what there could be
worse than (lie man had endured. To
lie there day after day for thirty-
eight years, suffering from paralysis
or rheumatism or some other ailment
that rendered him helpless, was surely
bad enough. But Jesus thought there
were worse things than that and they
might come upon him if he fell into
sin. The warning comes with addi
tional force to us because we have
been accustomed to regard the miracle
as a type of conversion. We should
therefore ask ourselves in what re
spect the calamities that come from
sin are worse than physical helpless
ness.
The Backslider’s Remorse.
The backslider, in the first place, Is
haunted by the grewsome specter of a
poignant, never ceasing remorse. He
has enjoyed the inspiring hope of sal
vation. He lias tasted the ineffable
sweets of the gospel. He is like the
prodigal in the far country. He was
not born of swine keeping parents.
He was not treated as a social out
cast He was cradled In the old home
stead and knew what a loving moth
er’s smile was. He knew what honor
and affection and respectability meant
But he deliberately went and flung all
away and turned his back upon the
things that make life worth living. In
his misfortunes after his poverty came
upon him, wherever he went and
whatever he did, be kept picturing to
himself the plenty and happiness of his
father’s home. Do you suppose a man
who has once lived in a comfortable
house on a respectable street with a
loving family and amid kind friends,
could ever be happy to go and dwell
among social outcasts if he knew that
he was the direct cause of his own dis
grace?
Some years ago a yonng Scotchman
came across the seas and settled in
this country. He married here and had
two little children, whom he loved
dearly. He was not a bad man. He
bad a religious bringing up. But be
was one of those who drifted into dis
sipation through sociability, as so
many bad done before him. The men
always used to take a drink before
they started work. Then they would
fireak off work about 10 o’clock and
fake another drink. Then they would
always take a driuk at noon, and so on
during the day. This habit began to
get its merciless hold upon him. One
evening on his way home from work
a sleigh was dashing down the street
Before he knew it the horse was al
most upon him. He leaped back just
In time to escape being knocked down.
As he did this two women beautifully
dressed In furs laughed contemptu
ously at his predicament The man be
gan to think. Why was he walking
when other people could ride and al
most ride over him and treat it all as
a joke? Who were these rude rich
people? Looking after them, ho recog
nized these women as the wife and
daughter of the saloon keeper from
whom he and his fellow workman
bought their daily drink.
It Paid to Do Right
As he watched the-sleigh disappear
ing he said: “Too have had the last
ilollar you will get from me. From
now on I am going to buy my wife
furs and give my children a home in
stead of supporting you.”
The next morning when the men
broke off work and said, “Come on,
Joe, let’s go and take a sip.” he re
plied: “No! 1 have given that saloon
keeper the last dollar he will ever have
of mine. I am going to buy my w’fe
and halms a home instead of support
ing his family lu luxury.” The men
laughed. "All right.” said Joe. “You’ll
see.” And in a couple of years that
workman had enough money which he
had saved from the saloon to buy a
city lot and build a little home. That
workman today is one of the leading
merchants in one of our western cities.
Does it pay? Does it pay to be good?
Does it pay to do right? And, my
friends, if it does pay to do right, how
great must be the remorse that comes
when a man realizes that by his own
sins, his own follies, his own evil
deeds, he has brought poverty and
misery upon himself and those he
loves?
You are not like a man who has been
brought up in an irreligious home. You
know what the beauties and joys of the
gospel life mean. You have seen this
happiness revealed in your father’s and
mother’s lives. You have felt the joy
of the gospel in your own life. If I
mistake not, some years ago you joined
the church. You have been a worker in
the Master’s vineyard. Tell me, are
you going to put all that past joy
away? Are you going to turn your
back upon the only life which you
know is worth living? Are you going
today to grip hands with sin and then
endure the evil results of the sin you
have brought upon yourself and your
dear ones? Remember that the condi
tion of the man who has once known
the Christian hope and has departed
from It is infinitely worse than that of
the man who has never known it at all.
for then the specter of remorse points
her finger at yob and says. “You have
brought this misery upon yourself, and
you alone are responsible.” And “Jesus
findeth him in the temple and said
unto him: Behold, thou art made whole.
Sin no more lest a worse thing come
upon thee.”
But when the backslider relapses into
evil he does more than clasp hands with
sin. He not only seeks sin, but he
turns his back upon God and the good
people with whom he used to associate.
As the pendulum swinging in one di
rection gathers momentum and swings
just as far in the othe direction, so the
backslider when he goes astray is apt
to go further astray because he has
once been good. As remorse gnaws at
his heart, so ingratitude makes him go
Just as far away from good associates
ns he possibly can go.
A Protege’s Ingratitude.
Here, for instance, is a young fellow
whom you have made your protege.
You felt you had the means and ought
to help some one iu life. So this boy
appealed to your sympathies, and you
took him to your heart. You educated
him and started him in business. You
pushed him rapidly forward. You
gave him au interest iu the firm. You
loved him as a son. Time passed on.
Suddenly you awoke to an awful fact.
You found that this young man whom
you had loved had desecrated your
home. You found that he had broken
every law of justice and honor and
truth. The meanest human cur that
ever crawled in slime could not l>e
more untrue to you than he has been.
What do you do? Do you upbraid him
and make him suffer the penalty of
the law? No. Like a loving father,
your heart is broken. You would like
to forgive him. You would even like
to give him another start. But he will
not let you love him. He will flee
away from you. He will get just as
far away as he can. Like Absalom of
old, all that he will do is to associate
with your enemies. And all that you
can do is to go weeping to your bed
chamber as you cry, “Oh, my son Ab
salom, my son, my son Absalom!
Would God I had died for thee!” fcow,
my brother, is that the kind of ingrati
tude you mean to show to God? Are
you about to drift into sin? Are you
going to turn your back upon Christ?
Axe you ready to separate yourself
from those sweet Christian associa
tions which contribute to oar spiritual
life? Remember this: No Christian
man ever flung himself into sin bat
he proved himself an ingrate and his
shame led him to get just as far away
from God and from bis people as he
could go.
There is another fact which the
Christian must bear wen in mind.
Though the gospel life grows sweeter
and purer and more triumphant the
longer a man lives it, yet the old scars
of sin remain Indelible. And when a
Christian backslides it Is like the re
lapse of an attack of typhoid fever or
pneumonia. The relapse Is always more
dangerous than the first attack. Then
the ^ physical organism Is weakened.
Then the disease can the more easily
attack the vital parts. Yon and I had
better beware. We ought never to let
those old wounds of sin reopen. If
they are once allowed to bleed again
there will be a hemorrhage which will
sap away our lives.
Struck In Same Place.
You know there is an old proverb
among the soldiers that in time of war
no two bullets ever struck twice in the
same place. But that Is not always
true. Dr. Ryan in hia book entitled
“Under the Red Crescent” gives a
vivid account of the siege of Ealafat.
The bullets were falling in a perfect
hurricane. Suddenly there came tum
bling over the wall a monster shell,
and It crashed into the ground and
bnrst, tearing a great bole out of the
earth as large ns a house. A poor
frightened mother gathered her three
children about her and ran to this bole
for protection. But hardly had she set
tied herself there than there was heard
the singing of another shell flying from
a gun two miles away, and It Hang it
lelf Into that hole and tore those four
human lieln^s into shreds. "Ob.” you
say. "that was horrible: that wasgrew-
soine: that was overpowering!” Yes. It
was. It was tragic liecause It was so
unusual for two shells to strike the
same place. Hut 1 want to tell you that
when i^atan aims his guns for bom
bardment he has been hitting us iu the
same way for the last twenty years.
And, just as a prizefighter can keep
tapping sm adversary In the same place
over the heart until he saps away his
antagonist’s strength, so Satan can
keep battering at the old wounds of
our former sins and open them in their
weakened condition until at last we
fall before his blows.ns helpless as the
trembling fawn before the plunge of a
jungle tiger. Be\ are of that old sin.
O man. if you stai. It again iu its bleed
ing in all probabJity you will never
close It up. Beware!
I have heard my father again and
again tell this tragic story: In his
Philadelphia church be had an elder
he dearly loved. The elder was a
Scotchman who stood about six feet
two and was magnificently propor
tioned. He was a nobleman in brain
and in heart. He was one of those
great, big, lovable fellows ^ ho hold
you with a grip of steel. This man.
then nearly sixty years of age, had
been dissipated In his youth. He had
once been a drunkard. But for forty
years of his fife he had lived a pure,
true, consistent Christian life. But
one day, under a hot summer sun, he
became dizzy with a sunstroke. He
stepped into a nearby drugstore for
help. The druggist, not knowing his
old weakness, gave him a glass of
liquor. That one glass revived the old
passion. He started forth from that
drug store to the nearest saloon. He
drank until he was drunk. He drank
himself into the gutter. And in six
months he drank himself into the
grave. Beware, O man, of that old
sin!
When I was a hoy I beard John B.
Gough talking along the same lino.
There he stood before me, an old gray
haired man. 1 suppose he had per
suaded more people to sign the tem
perance pledge than any man who has
ever lived. lie was not only a leader
of men, but the leader of leaders in the
temperance reform. And yet that
man, who for forty years had been
pleading the temperance cause, said
"Man. if you have once been a drunk
ard never dare trust yourself with
this sin. It has been nearly half a
century since the old passion, by the
grace of God, lost its hold on me. But
the old passion Is still there. It is
manacled and kenneled, but it is there.
I would no more touch a glass of liquor
than I would dare take a dagger and
drive It in my heart. I would no more
dare touch a piece of brandied mince
pie than I would dare touch a lighted
match to a gunpowder magazine. It is
there. The old slumbering passion is
there, ready to 1)0 awakened at a
word.” And yet some people suppose
that because they have been resisting
sin ten. twenty, forty, fifty years the
old forces of sin are dead. Beware, O
man! The relapse of sin Is always
more dangerous than the first condi
tion. The passion is still there. It Is
there In your sinful heart.
When We Are Not Afraid.
It is when we are not afraid of sin
that the dangers of sin become four
fold. Travelers tell us that the wolves
of Mexico have a strange way of
catching the wild horses. These horses
have the speed of the wind. It is al
most impossible for a single cowboy to
catch one. The cowboys when they
wish to run them down have relays of
pursuers. First one set of cowboys
will chase the horses; then another re
lay will take up the run; then another
and another, until at last the horses are
caught by the lasso. But it is only
when they are completely tired that
they are caught; therefore it would be
impossible for the wolves to catch
them unless they used strategy, for the
wolves’ flight is not as swift as the
horses’.
This is the way the wolves kill the
wild horses of the Mexican plains:
First a couple of wolves come out of
the woods and begin to play together
like two kittens. They gambol about
each other and run backward and for
ward- Then the herd of horses lift
their startled heads and get ready to
stampede. But the wolves seem to be
so playful that the horses, after watch
ing them awhile, forget their fears and
continue to graze. Then the wolves in
their playing come nearer and nearer,
while other wolves slowly and stealthily
creep after them. Then snddenly the
enemies surround the herd and make
one plunge, and the horses are strag
gling with the fangs of the relentless
foes gripped in their throats. In a
similar way our old sins cunningly at
tack us. They play about os and keep
playing around us, and they look so
harmless, and we feel so strong. Bat
suddenly they make a plange, and tt)p
old wounds are reopened, and we are
helpless in the grasp of the monsters
of sin. Beware of that relapse Into
sin. “Behold, thou art made whole.
Sin no more lest a worse thing come
unto thee.”
A Thrilling Incident.
Bat, though Christ is speaking the
same thought as Paul spoke lu Corin
thians when he said, “Wherefore let
him that thinketh be standeth take
heed lest he fall,” thank God, Christ
does not stop there. He warns the
man at the pool of Bethesda. bat be
also teaches the doctrine that he is the
Christ of the backslider. When Christ
starts forth to save an Immortal soul,
he is no respecter of persons. He can
save the backslider. There is an Inc!
dent told of the famous Edward Irv
ing, the eloquent preacher. When a
boy in Scotland, with his little sister
he went down on the sands of Solway
Firth to meet his uncle, who was com
ing to visit their home. When the tide
comes in there it comes with a rush.
It sweeps on like a flood. All the peo
ple there know this danger of the on-
rushing sea and guard against it, hut
these little children forgot the time c*
the tide. They were playing in n little
pool of water. Suddenly n horseman
dashed down from the mountain side.
Without a word he came up on a run,
grabbed the two children, flung them
across the saddle and started for the
hills. Faster and faster followed the
rising tide, hut at last the horseman
and his precious load were saved.
Then the uncle saw that he had saved
his own brother’s children, who had
come out to meet him. So it is with
Christ. It matters not who the sinner
may be nor whether he has sinned
seventy times seven. If you gojout
to meet Christ, he will save you from
the tidal waves of sin and save you
now.
God works through natural and hu
man agencies as well as by his word
and power. This, pool of Bethesda
may have l>eou merely a geyser or a
mineral spring. It is a better remedy
that I offer you. It never ceases. It
never loses its power.
Lift op thy bleeding hand, O Lord;
Unseal that cleansing tide.
We have no shelter from our sins
But in thy wounded side.

From the Eating House Viewpoint.
Representative Francis W. Cushman
of Washington, the humorist of the
house, was born in Iowa. When he
was a boy he and a friend started
west. They walked. The going was
not very good, and when they reached
Omaha Cushman’s friend decided that
was far enough west for him and
stayed. Cushman stayed for a time,
too, and both of the emigrants got jobs
as waiters in the railroad eating house.
After Cushman had saved a little
money he went on to Washington. His
friend decided to stay in the eating
house, and so they separated. When
Cushman had been elected to congress
the first time he stopped off at Omaha
and found his friend still working in
the eating house.
“What are you doing now, Frank?"
the old friend asked.
“Why, I am living in Washington,
and I am a congressman now. I have
been elected to congress.”
“You don’t say,” commented the
friend. “Ain’t you sorry you didn’t
stay here? You might have been boss
of this eating house if you hadn’t gone
trapesing off there farther west.”—Sat
