,A ' -V WOMAN’S BACKACHE The back is the mainspring of woman’s organism. It quickly calls attention to trouble by aching. It tells, with other symptoms, such as nervousness, headache, pains in the loins, weight in the lower part of the body, that a woman’s feminine organism needs immediate attention. In such cases the one sure remedy which speedily removes the cause, and restores the feminine organism to a healthv, normal condition is LYDIA E.PINKHAM’S VEGETABLE COMPOUND .Mrs. Will Young, of 6 Columbia Ave., Rockland, Me., says: “ I was troubled for a long time with dreadful backaches .and a pain in my side, and was miserable in every way.

There are so few young men capable of fill ing the places of the great men who are passing away we can ill afford to spare any of them. When that most brilliant young minister of the Brick church of New York, Maltbie Babcock, during an attack of delirium resulting from Roman fever committed suicide In the capital of the Caesars the Pres byterian general assembly was in ses sion in Philadelphia. The moderator announced the sad news. A hush fell over that great assembly. It was al most consternation. Gray haired min isters looked at one another In sor rowful amazement. They had expected this young pulpit genius to take up the work and lead their church when their hands became too feeble to hold the standard.

We cannot ex plain their premature departures. We shall understand the reason in the next world. One generation passes away and an other comes, it is difficult to realize that in another fifty years at most the work now being done in the world of religion, of letters, of medicine and of art will be in the hands of new men. There will lie new men not only among the leaders, hut among the ordinary workers, and it is just as essential to the world’s progress that these hum ble men should he found faithful as i that the lenders should be men of gen ius. Our concern is not only that the conspicuous pulpits of the church should lie ably filled, but with the character of the men who will be call ed to the thousands of ordinary pulpits scattered over llu* broad land in which valiant service for the Master’s king dom Is now being done. Where there is one chief justice’s seat in the su preme court of the United States that will need an occupant there are thou sands and tens of thousands of ordi nary lawyers and justices who are true to their profession and are seeing that might is not triumphing over right. And where there have been In this generation a Lr. Rush and a Dr. Sayre and a Marion Sims and a Pas teur and a Lorenz, who, as great sur geons and physicians, have been hon ored all around the world for their brilliant work in the medical profes sion, ^there have been thousands and hundreds of thousands of ordinary, lit tle known ply sicians who as humble family doctors have cared for the sick and have come to our bedsides to alle viate our pains.

These ministers found their way Into the affections of their people not so much because they were pulpit kings ns by bring devoted, loving and inde fatigable pa*} ral friends. These men of God preached Christ on Sundays to the accompaniment of singing choirs. They preached Christ during the week to the accompaniment of the cheerful talk and laughter of the home, and without any doubt the most powerful sermons they ever preached were their talks on Mondays and Tues days and Wednesdays and Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, which they de- Itysrsd upon the streets to the mem bers of their congregations as they met them by the wayside. Who shall fill the places of these men? Is the call for old fashioned Christian pastors to fall upon unheed ing ears? You tell me that the greatest need of the church of God Is for great preachers and not for great pastors. I think not. my brother. There may be need for groat preachers. There can not he too many George Whltefields in tlie world, but I believe there is Just as great if not greater need for the Chris tian pastor’s handshake ns there is for the pulpit king’s eloquent periods. More need is there for the loving min ister who will affectionately throw his arm about a waywardjbrother’s neck than for the graceful gesture of the De- mosthenean pulpiteer. More need is there for a noble pastor’s sympathetic prayer by the sickbed than for a pulpit orator who can deliver a classic eulogy by the bier of a dead president. More need is there for a loving ministerial friend than for one who is trying to bnild up his church through the Influ ence of his Sunday services alone, and yet. ns our cities are growing larger and larger each year, as the need of pastoral work is becoming greater and greater, because there Is more danger of men and women becoming lost in the crowds, the fact remains that the pastoral work of the minister Is be coming less and less. TYho will make pastoral visitations a life passion? Who will say, “Lord, make me a hunt er for single souls during the week and not simply a great preacher on the Lord’s day?” Young men about to leave our theological seminaries, will you pick up this mantle which some old fashioned pastor has dropped at the brink of the grave? The Modern Doctor. As w'e see the individual work of the ministers for individual souls being neglected on account of the congesting of large numbers of people In our towns and cities, so we find the moral and the spiritual work of the old fash ioned Christian doctors is also passing away. The modern physician is as unlike his predecessor of the past gen eration as the work of the average city minister is different from the old fash ioned country pastor who used to move in and out among his people in the small villages where our grandmothers and grandfathers were born. There are many reasons for this change. The electric cars and the ele vated trains and the suburban rail road have made the neighborhood family physician a relic of the past. The family physician twenty years ago always had his office in his home. He never thought of having an office downtown in some big office building, as the physicians do now. The result was the old family doctor, because he was a neighborhood doctor, became a personal adjunct of every family. He had his patients’ individual interests at heart. The hoys tmd the girls of the street were his boys and girls. They were all his children. Not only has the old fashioned neighborhood physician passed away through the introduction of the tele phone and the electric cars and the downtown offices, but also because of the specializing of the different depart ments of medicine and surgery. Once you felt that the family physician knew* a great deal, but now you have come to the conclusion that ene phy sician can know but very little. If you have anything the matter with your eye you must go to an oculist; or with the throat, to a throat specialist; or with the lungs, to a lung specialist: or with the skin, to a skin specialist; or with the nerves, to a nerve special ist. We have made a fad out of this specialist business. Thus, instead of today having one doc-tor whom we call a family doctor, most families have four or five doctors on their payrolls. They have one doctor for the babies and another for the father and another doctor for the mother and another doc tor for the sister. The result is, in stead of a physician being a neighbor- liood doctor and being part of that neighborhood, he is but one In a pro cession. Ills patients come to him one day and do not come to him the next. Thus, instead of having the strong personal interest in his patients which he used to have, the average doctor looks at his patients simply as cases with so many sores or so many coughs or with so many stomach complaints or with so many skin diseases. When he lias cured the physical ailments his interest in the patient ceases. The physician of the past was generally a pious man. He knew how to speak the sympathetic word to the sufferers and ar he stood by the bed of the dying to breathe a word of faith and hope. Who knows the good ho did? Now, my friends, who'Is going to do the work of the old fashioned Christian physi cian? You and I know that the W'ork the old fashioned Christian physician did w’as second only in eternal impor tance to w'hat was accomplished by the Christian minister himself. Dr. Livingstone’s Way. When David Livingstone wanted to become a missionary to darkest Africa, what did he do? Did he say, “I will enter a theological seminary and learn how to preach?” No. He said: “I will enter the medical school and learn how to be a doctor. Then when I can stand by the sickbed of the black man I will bind up his wounds, and as I bind them I will tell him about Christ, who was wotinded for. us. When the lifelong sufferers come to me for relief I will tell them about that Christ who can cure them of their sins as well as their pains.” O Christian physician, are you willing to be an old fashioned med ical missionary to the sufferers of the slums of the poor, as David Livingstone was a medical missionary to the heath en of darkest Africa? Will you, in Christ’s name, administer medicine to the soul ns well as to the body? When that youpg man and that young woman come to you with physical ailments, will you tell them about Christ who elll save them from their sins? When fou pour out the medicine, will you kneel, like the old Christian physician used to kneel, by the sickbed and ask God’s blessing upon that Invalid? In this age of medical specialists will you become the noblest of all specialists, a medical missionary for Christ? Who among the young men in our medical schools will take up the fallen mantle of the old fashioned Christian family doctor? Will you, young man? Will you, young woman? Having sought successors to the old fashioned Christian pastors and the old fashioned Christian doctors, shall we not lovingly speak about the fallen mantles of the old fashioned Christian lawyers? The Christian lawyers both In the present and in the past have too often been sneered at and Jeered at with words of contempt. When Rome was overthrown by the barbarian con querors the latter flung all the Roman lawyers into jail; then thqf cut out the tongues of some and sewed up the mouths of others and sent them forth Into the world with this fiendish com ment: “Now we have drawn the adder’s fangs and choked the viper’s hiss, and they can no longer do us harm.” Thus some people of the present generation are like those ancient barbarians. They class all lawyers in one great group. They call them vipers and destroyers, busybodies and fomenters of strife. TIs true, some lawyers of the past generation may have been bad, yet there have always been honest lawyers, and have we not a right to desire a succession of them—men who will worthily wear the mantle of the old fashioned Christian lawyer as well as men tq_ don the honored robes of the old fashioned Christian doctors and Christian ministers? The Old Fashioned Family Lawyer. Who was the chief hope of the old grandfather in a time of great family trouble? The family lawyer. You think of the old man’s sou as an hon orable man. He was after he married and settled down. Wben he died he was respected by the community in which he lived. He was loved by every one. But if I should go back in the family history I could find a time when he was not what he was when you knew him. Once as a young man he w’as led into an aw’ful temptation. He would have been sent to the peni tentiary had ills crime been dealt with in the courts. But that Christian law yer went to the district attorney and pleaded with him for mercy. He him self signed the hail bond. He himself went to the judge and had the matter fixed up. You never knew. The world never knew’. The old father and moth er knew’. The young man knew. The Christian lawyer knew. Who was it when the young girl went astray per suaded her parents to take her back and restore her to the fireside of a pure home? Who was it when your father In anger wanted to disinherit you on account of your escapades per suaded him,‘to let bygones be bygones and let the children share and share alike? It was the Christian lawyer who did all these things. Oh, the In finite Influence for good of the old fashioned Christian lawyer! Is there any young man willing to take up the fallen mantle of the old fashioned Christian lawyers who worked for Christ and who did just as valiant service for their Divine Master as did their contemporaries, the Christian doc tor and the gospel minister? Will you, as future lawyers, try to save men instead of for mercenary re wards or for fame trying to destroy men? Will you be like the great anil good Judge Nye, who was many years ago appointed one of the judges of the New York bench? One day a young boy was brought before him for steal ing. He inquired into the case, and he found that the boy had formerly been an honest hoy, but his mother was starving, and he stole bread for her to eat. Judge Nye sent for the district attorney and said: “This boy has suf fered enough. You must not prose cute him.” But the district attorney said: “I will prosecute him. Let his lawyer save him if he can.” Then Judge Nye said: “I will appoint his counsel. I will be his lawyer.” At the trial he turned to the jury and said: “Gentlemen of the jury, look at this boy. Is there one among you who will blast his life and refuse to give him another chance in the world?” Of course the Jury acquitted him. Then Judge Nye’s influence got the lad up pointed to the Naval academy at An napolis. Years later this judge l>e- came Senator Janies Nye of Nevada. He was in Washington. He was being entertained In the White House, and there at the president’s table one of the most honored heroes of Admiral Farragut’s fleet came up and grasped his hand as he said, “Senator Nye, do you know me?” “No,” answered the great senator. “Well, sir, I am the boy you saved from jail and sent to the Navai academy.” Do you think that boy was worth saving? Do you believe that lad ought to have been saved? Then, ye living lawyers, go forth and do likewise.' In Christ’s name lift up the fallen mantles of the old fashioned Christian lawyer even as Elisha took up the fallen mantle of the prophet Elijah. The Old Fashioned Merchant. W’ould that 1 had time to speak at length alxiut the fallen mantle of the old fashioned Christian merchant, but I have not. The old fashioned Chris tian merchant's heart was not naturally very much different from the heart of the modern merchant, but that heart was every day brought into close touch with the lives of his employees. There fore bis employees’ Joys were his Joys, and their sorrows were his sorrows Now the modern store or factory Is a great human beehive. Unless the mod ern merchant makes a special effort each day to work for Christ among his employees he can never hope to do the work for Christ which the old fash ioned Christian merchant did among hls employee?. Why, there are so many that he does not know them, nor do they know him. Thus there Is Ig fcornnee on Iwjth sides. O modern merchants, are you ready to do this Individual work for the Mas ter among those who are working for you day by day? Do not say you have no opportunity. Give the boy that comes into your employ kindly greet ing. Ask him about hls home and friends. Gain his confidence and let him regard you as ids friend. He will serve you all the better for it. and you may save him from the temptations of the city. The merchant who seeks op portunities of serving Christ is sure to find them. There was one shoemaker of a past generation who had the grand record of saving 500 boys for Christ, and they were not his clerks either, but strange boys whom he coaxed in from the street. Ills name was John Pounds, a humble mender of shoes in Portsmouth, England. John Pounds’ School. He wanted to do something for Christ. So with a little money he earned by mending shoes he bought some school books. Then he went out into the Portsmouth alleys and gathered into his cobble shop the dirtiest, raggedest and most forlorn street arabs he could find. Then while be worked at his bench he taught his scholars out of these schoolbooks and told them the story of Christ It was sal$ that this poor, humble cobbler was the means of starting the whole system of the “ragged schools” which are now to be found In all the large cities of Eng land, Scotland, Ireland and Wales. O you modern merchants, cannot you be modem John Poundses? In your stores, In your factories, cannot you take a few moments of each day to talk with some of your employees about God and about consecrating themselves to the Master’s work? Who of all the young business men will start out to take up the fallen mantles of the Christian mer chants of the past generations? Thus, my friends, I would set before you high ideals. As I think of that scene In the far east and see Elisha taking up the fallen mantle of Elijah I want to see all men and women reach ing forth for some one of the fallen mantles of the noble Christian men and women who are gone and have finished their life’s work. By God’s help make the most you can of your Christian op portunities. Reach high. Strive hard. Bring out the best that is in you. There are mantles falling every day. The Christian worker who has toiled for Christ and the world’s betterment through the years of bis life is caught up to hls rest in heaven. Do not stay looking after him, but take up the work that has fallen from his hands and continue that. Be not diffident or unbelieving. Who knows but the an gels looking upon you may say, as was said about the ancient worker, “The spirit of Elijah doth rest on Elisha?” [Copyright, 1908, by Louia Klopsch.] That our American rorests abound In plants which possess the most valuable medicinal virtues is abundantly attested by scores of the most eminent medical writers and teachers.
