Judging from reports from druggists Who are constantly in direct touch with the public, there is one preparation that has been very successful in overcoming these conditions. The mild and healing influence of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its remarkable record of success. An examining physician for one of the prominent Life Insurance Companies, in an interview on the subject, made the as tonishing statement that one reason why so many applicants for insurance are re jected is because kidney trouble is so common to the American people, and the large majority of those whose applica tions are declined do not even suspect that they have the disease. It is on sale at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes, medium and large. However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N.

The promise given to Peter in connec tion with the announcement of his pur pose to build the church, and the pay ing of tribute with the money in the fish's mouth, provoked jealousy on the part of the other disciples. The trans figuration scene revealed the divine person and the program of the king dom. Seeing that the kingdom was to come to realization, despite the trag edy of the cross, the disciples thought it best to have settled the place of rank in the kingdom. Their behavior betrayed their sad state of heart. In stead of entering into sympathy with Jesus in the dark hour of his passion, they were supremely concerned with the dignities to be conferred upon themselves. 2. Jesus’ answer (vv. 2-4). He taught them concretely by placing a little child in their midst. (1) Condition of entrance into kingdom (v. 3). He showed them that the great question which concerned them is as to wheth er they are really in the kingdom. Their behavior revealed the fact that they needed conversion before they could enter into the kingdom. Before they could even see, much less enter into the kingdom, they must be born from above (John 3:3, 5). En trance into the kingdom is infinitely more important than rank therein. (2) Whosoever possesses childlike hu mility is the greatest (v. 4). The child is dependent, lowly, and modest. Those who have been born again—con verted, have these characteristics. The principle which determines rank in the kingdom is lowliness of heart. In the kingdom we rise by sinking. The way is down. The more one realizes his own unworthiness, the more worthy he is of the divine favor and trust. 11. The Lord's Identification With His Believing Ones (vv. 5-9). 1. Receiving the believer in Christ’s name is receiving Christ (v. 5). Through conversion we become God’s children, and so completely is our life interwoven with His that He regards treatment of us as treatment of Him self. Those who welcome into fellow ship the lowly believer welcome Christ If this were fully realized it would sanctify our relationship with believ ers in Christ. Reception of believers includes all forms of sympathy and aief. To do this in Christ’s name is to open our hearts to receive Him. 2. The awful peril of causing a be liever to stumble (vv. 6-9). To stum ble means to give occasion for a moral fall. The particular reference was to the carnality and selfishness which was expressing itself in their conten tion for pre-eminence. Such spirit and behavior would stifle the tender life of a babe in Christ. Their be havior was not only seif-injury, but a stumbling block to others. Every Christian should solemnly inquire as to whether his life would help or hin der his fellow-believers. Am I helping someone to a higher level, or am I pulling him down to a lower? To so sin against Christ’s own is to meet a sure and awful fate. His doom will be worse than drowning in the sea with a millstone around his neck; it will be eternal fire (v. 8). 111. Believers Are Especially Cared For by the Heavenly Father (vv. 10-14). 1. They are under angelic guardian ship (v. 10). So precious is the be liever in God’s sight that angelic mes sengers have access to the very throne of God, even beholding his face. So high is the honor bestowed upon be lievers that the highest angels are sent to guard them. 2. The Son came especially to save such from their lost condition (vv. 11-14). The Heavenly Father does not will that any one of these should per ish. They are the objects of the Fa ther’s seeking love. The salvation of the humble believer has been secured by the incarnation and the sacrifice of the Good Shepherd. Since God sets such value upon even the lowest be liever, we should be most careful in our manner of life before them and In our treatment of them. Worship and Culture. Worship and culture, of necessity, go hand In hand. There can be no such thing as true culture apart from the religion of our dear Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. The fundament al principles of true culture are en shrined forever in the Sermon on tfce Mount, the ten beatitudes of the Lord Jesus. Society, apart from the Foun tain-head of Grace, can display to the world nothing better than a refine ment which is, at best, a veneer. — Rev. Henry Lowndes Drew. THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR. MT. VERNON, GEORGIA. SEWING FOR THE LITTLE ONES '••'W ' SEWING that is more of a joy than a task, occupies the time of the home seamstress in January and Feb ruary, for she is engaged with the diminutive and ever amusing gar ments for her little ones. The de signers of this year’s models merit more than usual thanks, for they have made most unusual and pretty dresses and rompers, as a guide for those who want to give their children the advan tage of the best styles. Besides fa miliar cotton goods, they have used linen in colors, pongee, dark taffetas, and have combined contrasting colors. Rompers are among those present in every diminutive wardrobe. Quite often they are as pretentious as the little affairs shown above, which seem equally well adapted to girls or boys up to tlie age of four. They are clev erly cut in one piece of sturdy cotton goods, or coarse linen, have a plait in the center of the front and back, and are slashed about the waist'to allow Things That Spell Distinction I. Ji§ fimWm - *'*>* ■ yffl& «»Wf * l>t r CHRISTMAS time brought out gar nishments innumerable for the dress and for the homes of ladies fair —all these personal niceties that wom en are never too old or too young to enjoy and appreciate. Beginning with neckwear, there were many collar and cuff sets, some of them in new styles, but made as they have been of fine nets, sheer fabrics and lace. Among the new things there were cuffs with “bib” collars to match, as shown in the illustration above, In which fine batiste, with tiny tucks, Venice lace and narrow Val lace edging, are combined In a beautiful set. This particular collar has a round neck. It was not more popular than straight collars with narrow vestees and cuffs to match, made of similar materials. Fine net pieces embroid ered with flowers in the “lazy-dalsy” stitch, bordered with narrow cluny insertion and finished with an edging of the same lace, were among the love liest sets and they are easy to make — this kind of embroidery goes quickly and is very effective. a belt of the goods or a sash of rib bon to slip through. The rounj) neck and short sleeves are scalloped at the edges, but they might be bound with tnpe or lawn. Few seamstresses can resist the temptation to put a little simple embroidery or stitching on sueli small garments. Instead of rompers, some small girls maintain tlie freedom of their sex by wearing blouses to match frocks or aprons. The latter are too brief as to length to hamper them any. There are a good many sleeveless frocks and rompers in the new dis plays, a few with long sleeves, hut more than either of these, are those made with short sleeves that hardly reach the elbow. Little flowers and miniature fruits are favorite motifs for embroidery on tlie dressier gar ments and small ties of wool ending in bails, or of narrow ribbon, and amusing, make-believe buttons, delight the hearts of their wearers. | There are some very handsome high* [ necked pieces in which a high collar ; of tucked net, with filet or other lace i insets, edged with narrow cluny are joined to long vestees of net with a plaited frill of luce down the center, finished off with flat crochet buttons. ; They are usually made of deep cream- I I colored net and lace and much nd ! mired by older women. All the best accessories of this kind are hand made. In handkerchiefs the holidajs brought to notice very dainty ones of j plain or crossbar linen witli very nar row' herns. They were bordered with frills of fine net; sometimes this frill had an edge whipped with colored thread. COmiOHT IY VtSTtftN MtVSPOf* UNION. For Evening Gowns.
