inmneiit when Ids blinded eyes were
opened by the <<ood Ananias on the
Damascus street ealScd “Straight” he !
never ceased t<* saerilice himself for
his fellow pirn lint so important is ^
the le:- tin < I v c arious Imideii hear
ing Paul would not have hi* friends
look to any human guide, lie seems
to come to the ineinliers of the
(ialatian ehuieli in the same way that 1
a stalT ofiiccr of the eommantler of a
great army delivers his orders t«» a
captain, a ma jor, a eolmiel or hriga- ;
flier general, and thev are orders <>f
lie neticent Import, as were those that
tin* representatives <>l (Sen CSrant de
livered when thev rode through the
federal lines telling Sheridan and
Meade and Humphreys and Ord and
Warren and Wright and Haiti ant t to
cease firing because the two national
leaders, CSrant. and Lee, were meet
ing under a Hag of truee at Appo
luat tox.
Paul seems to say “The duty "f
hearing one another’s burdens is not
my own command, nor is il given to
us by the command of Peter or John
or Apollos, but by the eotuniand of
the great Divine Chieftain himself”
Head the words as they were written
to the rugged mount.lineers who eon 1
(diluted the Galatian church Hear
ye the command as it is spoken for us
to hear: “Hear ye one another’s Imr
th •iis and so fiillilt (lie law of Christ ” ;

the misery of the inebriate in the
blackest and the reddest colors be
cause be himself had writhed in the
lowest depths «if a living inferno lie
had drunk the cup of horrors to the
bitter dregs lie signed the pledge
and broke it again and again. One
day. weak and helpless with de
lirium. he st.ood in the foundry work
ing upon a piece of iron. Suddenly
that bar of iron began to twist and
m*«\e in bis band like a writhing ser
pent. In horror the delirious man
dropped it. and as it lay there he
seemed to see it writhing and twist
ing upon the tloor of the foundry.
John It. (tough's cra/ed brain knew it
was only a bar of iron, and yet there
lie saw it a living, hideous, hissing 1
snake. II is courage broke down. He
thought it was useless to struggle
longer. Just then a Christian gentle
man who had the spirit of a true bur
den bearer came in and said “Hello,
Gough! I saw you up at the tem
perance meeting last week. I saw
you --ign the pledge. We have missed
you for four days. I thought I would
come around and And out how you
arc getting along. God bless you.
Keep up the struggle. Christ will
help you through.”
those few words saved John IV
Gough tor t ime and eternity. He never
touched a drop of fatal intoxicant
after that Those words were the
helping hand that drew him out of the
ruts and jui hed him over the up
grade. Those few words made John P.
(. ugh a fice man free for lime, free

I bis is an age of the specialization
of talents. Instead of me man making

"< man spinning .ier own thread anti
weaving her own cotton ami sewing
her own garments each woman eon
cent rates her power of mind upon one
distinct part of an industry. Civiliza
tion has developed its cotton mills, its
cutters, its sewers, its litters anti its
import* t ami exporters, and the com
bination lends t<> the general advan
l;,ge. We buy when* we can buy the
cheapest, and we -ell when* we can
sell t he den rest All these results come,
from the specialization of talent. The
realization must come that some men
can <h) things better than we. We in
turn in another line of business ought
to do some things better than those
who are n>#f pr<diei'*nt in our t rades.

I that curb member mil t bear with

I 1 »ers. I he\ should especially do this
because tlu-y were brethren and
I un-mbers of a ehttreh family of which
fowl was the father arid Jesus ( lirist
the elder brother 'I be bond of a
belief in a common Saviour certainly
ought to help the members of a
church family to bear with each oth
er's weaknesses. Worldly societies
help their unfortunate members. I
am told that the masons not only
bury their dead; they rare fur living
masons who need help. They have
certuin signs anti handclasps.
As I grow older 1 a*« the more dis
posed to judge the spiritual condition
of a truly religious church member
by the way he treats those who have
gone astray. He is more apt to con
demn himself than be is to accuse
bis unfortunate brother. When a
Sunday school pupil guvs astray, the
truly good Sunday school tenches
says: “Ah! that is tuu bad! 1 won
der if I did my full duty? Perhaps,
il I only bad called on the lad and
invited him to my home and had seen
where he spent, his evenings, this aw
ful sin would not have happened, f
must not be too hard upon the lad.
Yes, l too, am to blame.”
When a minister goes astray, the
truly good elder does not upbraid
him. Ah, no! lie knows too much
about the weakness of human nature
to do that. The old member of ses
sion will sit by the fire, with tears
streaming down his furrowed cheeks,
reproaching himself when he says:
Here I have been a professed fol
lovver of the Lord for 40 years. J
ought to have looked after the voting
man; I ought to have been his guide
and protector.” When Peter played
the coward ami denied his connection
with ( hrist, the Saviour clirl n *t call
a meeting of the apostles for a her
esy trial and make Peter demit the
ministry. Hy His treatment of Pe
tor's sinful act Christ taught the les
son of forgiveness and mercy for
the penitent wrongdoer. He rcor
daiued Peter to po forth and feed His
iambs. “Hear ve one another's bur
dens and so fulfill the law of Christ”
is especially an appropriate lesson
for Christians to learn who take no
interest in the welfare of fellow
( hrist inns who art* the members of
the household of faith.

i my text clearly means also
that every one should try in manful,
womanly, Christian fashion to bear
his own burdens. We are very apt
to think that our own troubles are
lieaxier to bear tbau any other per
son s t roubles. Hut. if we were al
lowed, as in the old legend, to go to
: th*; •plain of atllietiou and deposit
there our own sorrows, and were
compelled instead to take up the sor
rows of some one else, iu ail prob
ability we would carry away from
the mountain of diMieulty the burden
pack which our hacks have been ue
* nstoiucd to carry. Now, we cannot
help our brothel* to bear his burdens
by trying to pile upon his stalwart
shoulders our own burdens in addi
tion.
No man ever becomes a healthy
man, mentally or spiritually, who is
a mendicant by choice, crawling
from door to door, begging and whin
ing. Yet flier*' are some burdens that
are absolutely impossible for us to
bear in our own strength. Some of
J ns have had so much trouble—such
; aa aw ful, aw ful lot of trouble! We
I have suffered again and again. We
I have had to go t<> the family plot, as
1 wont two weeks ago. and to leave
t here a loved one. The grave did
look s«, big, and the black hole was
dug so deep. Hut there is a way we
ean nil carry our own burdens. That
way is to east them upon th** Lord,
and lf«* will sustain 11s. He has prom
ised, and II** will do it. If we will
only east our burdens upon Him, our
own hands will be free. Then we
can go forth like athletes stripped
for the fray. We ean go forth to help
our brothers and sisters, our par
ents and children and all our friends,
carry their burdens.
Let us return to the good old rr.un
try times when every one helped evert
other person in the community. In
those good old times every one was
ready to halve a friend's sorrows as
well as double a friend's joys. When
• he wedding bells began to ring the

DANGEROUS KIDNEY DISEASES CURED
I’e-rn-na ( rcat;n" a National Sensation in the Cure \
of Chronic Ailments of the Kidney*.
Major T. H. Mars, of the First VVis*
; con sin Cavalry regiment, writes from
1425 Dunning street, Chicago, 111., the
following letter:
“ For years / suffered with catarrh
of the kidneys contracted In the army.
Medicine did not help me any until a
comrade who had been helped by Pe
runa advised me to try It. / bought
some at once, and soon found blessed
relief. I kept taking it four months,
and am now well and strong and feel
better than / have done for the past
twenty years, tbanka to Peruna. ”_
T. H. Mars.
Mr. John Vance, of Hartford City,
Ind.. says: ** My kidney trouble is
much l>et ter. I have improved so much
that everybody wants to know what
medicine I am using. I recommend
1 eruna to everybody and some have
commenced to use it. The folks all say
that if I)r. Hartman’s medicine cures
me it must be great.”—John Vance.
Mr. J. Brake, of Petrolea, Ontario,
Canada, writes: •• Four years ago /
had a severe attack of Bright’s dis
ease, which brought me so low the
| doctor said nothing more could he
j done for me. / began to take Peruna
and Manalin, and In three months /
! was a well man. and have continued
so ever since.”—-J. Brake.

also ad\antageous to have knowledge of the best methods of promoting freedom from unsani
tary conditions. To assist nature, when nature needs assistance, it is e'l important that the
medicinal agents used should lie of the best quality and of known value, and the one remedy
