Important to Ail Women
Readers of This Paper
Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney or bladder trouble and never
suspect it.
Women’s complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
if the kidneys are not in a healthy con¬
dition, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the back, head¬
ache and loss of ambition.
Boor health makes you nervous, irri¬
table and maybe despondent; it makes
any one so.
But hundreds of women claim that Dr.
Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, by restoring health
to the kidneys, proved to be just the
remedy needed to overcome such condi¬
tions. 1
Many send for a sample bottle to see
"hat Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver
nd bladder medicine, will do for them. By
nelpsing ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,
Unghamton, N. Y., you may receive sarn¬
ie size bottle by parcel post. You can

doors for delivery of letters and pack¬
ages.

conference with those retiring from the
old hoard, the newiy elected ones were

to be purchasing committee.
Waycross.—Twenty-four arrests, the
result of a series of raids conducted by
the federal revenue officers, and local
county officials, have been made in j
Ware and Charlton counties during the j

the result of an extensive drive which
the officers have been conducting in I
those counties and ended with the re¬
turn of Prohibition Enforcement Offi¬
cer Griffin and his assistants to Way- I
cross. i

vannah for several months. Special j
delivery letters were amongst ones
lost, and efforts of inspectors to trace !
the guilty man had failed. Mr. Gra¬

nails are such that he was not sup¬
posed to handle any of the mail which
had been disappearing. Naturally sus¬

young people and adult Topic
—How to Treat Sinners.
I. The Son’s Insubordination (v, 12).
There is every indication that this
was a happy home. But a devil en¬
tered It and stirred tip discontent in
the heart of the younger son. He be¬
came tired of the restraints of. home.
His desire for freedom moved him to
wilfully choose - to leave home—throw
off the constraints of his- father’s rule.'
Sin is the desire to be free from the re¬
straints of rightful authority and for
selfish Indulgence. It starts out with
wrong thoughts about God. At the re¬
quest of the son, the father “divided
unto them his living.”
II. The Son's Departure (v. 13).
Having made the final decision he got
his goods in portable shape. Having
thrown off the restraints of ids father’s
rule he eagerly withdrew from his fa¬
ther's presence. This is always the
way sin works. He “gathered all to¬
gether." When the sinner casts off his
allegiance to God he takes nil that he
has with him. He not only wastes his
money, but his character is sacrificed.
III. The Son’s Degenera'tidn (vv. 13-
14).
He had a good time while his money
lasted, but the end came quickly. The
indications are that his couf’se was
soon run. From plenty In his father’s
house to destitution in the far coun¬
try was a short Journey. The sinner
is soon made to realize the famine
when his very powers which minis¬
tered to Ills pleasure are burned out.
IV. The Son’s Degradation (vv. 15,
10 ).
He had no friends to help .him when
his money was all gone, so he was
driven to hire out to a citizen ’to feed
swine. It was quite a change from a
sonshlp In his father's hoijse to feed¬
ing hogs in the far country. So it is;
those who will not serve God are made
slaves to the devil to do hist .bidding
(Rom. 6:10). In ids shame and dis¬
grace the prodigal could not even get
the necessary food. The coarse food
of the hogs was denied him.
V. The Son’s Restoration (vv. 17-24).
1. He Came to Himself (v. 17),
When he reflected a bit he was made
conscious that, though he had wronged
his fattier and ruined himself, yet he
was a son of his father. In the days
of his sinning he was beside himself.
The world calls the sinner who leaves
off his evil ways crazy, but In reality
he just becomes sane. If we could
but get sinners to think seriously of
their condition it would be more easy
to get them to turn from their sins.
2. His Resolution (v. 18). His re¬
flection ripened into resolution. The
picture of his home, where even the
hired servants had a superabundance,
moved him to make a decision to leave
the far country and go home. |
3. His Confession (w. 18, T9). He ! ;
acknowledged that his sin was agrilnst
heaven and his father—that he had j j
forfeited his right to he called a son,
and begged to he given a place as a :
hired servant. The sinner not only I !
should make a resolution; he should I
confess his sin; for with the heart man !
believeth unto righteousness, and with
the mouth confession is made unto sal- ,
vatlon.
4. His Action (v. 20). Action was
needed. Resolution win not avail tin
less accompanied with action.
5. His Reception by His Father
(w. 20-24). The father had not for¬
gotten his son. During the years he
longed for his return. He must often
have looked for him. for he saw him
when he was a great way off. So anx¬
ious was he for him that he • ran to
meet him and fell upon his neck and
kissed him. So glad was the father
that he even did not hear his confes¬
sion through, but ordered the tokens
of honor to be placed upon him, , re¬
ceiving him back into a son’s position
This parable makes bare God’s heart.
Every teacher should strive to’present
this leAon so as to show God’s forgiv¬
ing mercy—His willingness to receive
back His wayward child.
Two Classes.
The race Is divided into two j
llasses, those who go ahead and do !
something, and these who sit still and j
inquire, “Why wasn’t it done the other i
way?”—O. W. Holmes.
Taken From Evil to Come.
The righteous perlsheth, and no man
iayeth it to heart; and merciful men
are taken away, none considering that
the righteous Is taken away from tbs
evil to come.—Isaiah 57: 1.
Assurance.
In our trials and conflicts we are
assured of the tender sympathy of
heaven.—Anon.
How Easy to Love.
How difficult it is to know--how
easy to love Thee’.—Unknown.
