Washington, 1VIarch 25. ---Th is dis-
course of Dr. Talmage will interest
young men, while it is full of advice
and encouragement to parents who
are trying to bring up their children,
aright; text, Proverbs 10, i, "A wise
son maketh a glad father; but a fool-
ish son is the heaviness of his moth -
In this graphic way Solomon sets
forth the idea that the good or evil
behavior of children blesses or blights
the parental heart. 1 know there are
persons who seetn to have no especial
Interest in the welfare of their chil-
dren. The father says: "My boy
must take the risks I took in life.
If he turns out well, all right; if he
turns out ill, he will have to bear
the consequences. 1 -le has the seine
chance that I had. He must take
:care of himself." A shepherd might
just ae well thrust a lafrib into a den
of lions and say, "Little lambs, take
a care of yourself."
‘171 Nearly all the brute creation are
kind enough to look after their young.
I was going through a woods, and I
heard a shrill cry in a nest. I climb-
ed up to the bird's nest, and I found
that the old bird had left the brood
to starve. But that is a very rare
occurrence. Generally a bird will
pick your eyes out rather than sur-
render her young to your keeping or
your touch. A lion will rend you if
you come too near the whelps; even
the barnyard fowl, with its clumsy
foot and heavy wing, will come at
you if you approach its young too
nearly, and God certainly intended to
have fathers and mothers as kind as
the brutes.
Christ comes through all our house-
holds to -day, a,nd he says: "You take
care of the bodies of your children
and the minds of your children. What
are you doing for their immortal
• souls?" I read of a ship that found-
ered. A lifeboat was launched. Many
of the passengers were in the water.
A mother with one hand beating the
waves and the other hand holding her
little child out towards the lifeboat
cried out, "Save nise child!" And
that impassioned cry is the one that
finds an echo in every parental heart
in this land to -clay. "Save my child!"
'Chat man out there says: "I have
foughtmy own way through life. I
have got along tolerably well. The
world has buffeted me and I have
had many a hard struggle. It does-
n't make much difference what hap-
pens to me, but save my child." You
see, I have a subject of stupendous
import, and I am going, as God may
help me, to show the cause of parent-
al solid -elide and then the alleviations
tft that solicitude.
, The first cause of parenta,1 solici-
tude, I think, arises from the imper-
fection of parents on their own part.
We all somehow want our children to
avoid our faults. We hope that if
we have any excellences they will
copy them, but the probability is
they will copy our faults and omit
our excellences. Children are very apt
to be echoes of the parental life.
Some One meets a lad in the back
street, finds him smoking and says:
"Why, I ani astounded at you. What
would your father say if he knew
this? Where did you get that cigar?"
"Oh, I picked it up on the street."
"What would your father say and
your mother say if they knew this?"
"Oh," he replies, "that's nothing,
My father smokes." There is not one
af us to -day who would like to have
our children copy all our example.
And that is the cause of solicitude on
the part of all of us. We have so
many faults we do not want them
copied and stereotyped in the lives
and characters of those who came af-
• ter us.
Then solicitude arises from our con-
scious insufficiency and unwisdom of
• discipline. Out of 20 parents there
• may be one parent e'ho underst&nds
how thoroughly and skillfully to dis-
cipline; perhaps not more than one
out of 20. ' We, nearly all of us, err
on one side or on the other. Here is
a father who says: "I am, going to
bring up my children right. • My sons
• hall know nething but religion, shall
• see nothing but religion." They are
routed out at 6 o'clock in the morn-
• ing to recite the Ten Conunandinents.
• $lea are wakened up from the sofa
in Sunday night to recite the West-
minster catechism. Their bedroom
walls are covered with religious pic-
tures and quotations of Scripture,
• and when the boy looks fordthe day
• of the month he looks for it in
ligioue almana c. If a minister conies
to the house, 1e is requested to take
the boy aside and tell him what a
great Sinner he is. It is religion,
niornirig, noon and night.
eamee,Time passes on, and the parents are
"111111,waiting for the return of the .son at
night. It is 9 o'clock, it is 10
o'clock, it is 11 • o'clock, it is 12
• o'clock, it is half -past 12 o'clock.
When they hear a rattling of the night
- key, and George comes in and liestens
upstairs lest he be accosted. His fa-
• ther says, "George, where have yoti
• been?" He says, "I have been Out."
•I Yes, he had been out, and he has

after an hile the lad thinks' he ouelit

larger and larger expenses.'
Alter awhile one day a messenger
from the bank over the way calls in
and says to the father of the house-
hold of which 1 am speaking: "The
officers of the batik .would. like to
have you step over a minute." The
father steps over, and -a bank officer
says, '`Is that your check?'' "No,''
he says, "that is not • my check. I
never make an '1-1' in that way. I
never put a ohrl to the 'Y' -in that
way. That _is not my writing; that
is not my' signature; that is counter-
feit. , Send ;fur the police." ''Stop,''
says the bank officer, "your eon
wrote that."
Now the father and mother are
waiting fOr the son to come home at
night. It is 12 , o'clock, it is half -
past 12 o'clock, it is 1 o'clock. The
son conies through the hallway. The
father says: "My son, what does all
this mean? I gave you every oppor-
tunity. I gave you all the money
you -wanted, and, here in my old days
I 'find that you have become a spend-
thrifaa libertine and a sot." The
son says "Now, father, what is the
use of your talking that way? • You
told me to • go it, andel: just took
your suggestion." and so to strike
the medium between severity and
too great leniency, to strike the hap-
py medium between the two and to
train our children for God' and for
heaven is the anxiety of every intelli-
gent parent.,
Some go to work and try to correct
all this, and the boy is picked fie
and picked at and picked at. That
always is ruinous. There is mote
help in one good thunderstorm 'than
in five days of cold drizzle. Better
the old fashioned style of chastise-
ment if that be necessary than the
fretting and the scolding which have
destroyed so many.
There is also a cause of great soli-.
eitude sometimes because our young
people are surrounded by so many
temptations. A castle may not be
taken by a straightforward siege; but
suppose there be inside the castle an
enemy, and in the night he shoves
back the bolt and swings open the
door. Our young folks have foes
without, and they have foes within.
Who does .not understand it? ,Who
is the man here who is not aware
of the fact that the young people of
this day have tremendous tempta-
tions.
Some man will come to the young
people and try to persuade them that
purity and honesty and uprighteous-
ness are a sign of weakness. • Sonic
man will take a draniatic attitude,
and he Will talk to the young mans
and he will say: "Yoe must break
away from your mother's apron
strings. You must get out of that
puritanical straightjacket. It is
time you were your own master. You
are verdant. You are green. You
are unsophicated; Come with me ;
show you the world. I'll show
you; life. Come With nee. You need
to see the world. It won't hurt
yota" After awhile the young man
says: "Well, I can't afford to be
odd. I can't afford to sacrifice all
my friends. I'll just go and see for
myself." Farewell to innocence,
which once gone never fully comes
back., Do not be under the delusion
that because you reeent of sin you
get rid forever of its consequences. I
say farewell to innocence, which once
,gone ,never fully comes 'back.
Oh, how many traps set for the
young! Styles of temptation just
suitedlto them.. Do you suppose that
a man who went clear to the depths
of dissipation went down in one
'great plunge? Oh, no! At , first' it
was a fashionable hotel. Marble
floor. No unclean pictures behind
the counter. No, drunken hiccough
while they drink, but the clickof
cet glass to the elegant sentiment.
You ask that young man now to go
into some low ,restaurant and get a
drink, and'he would say, "Do you
mean to insult ine?" But the fash-
ionable and the elegant hotel is not
always close by, and now the young
man is on the down grade. Further
and further down, until he has about
struck the bottom of .the depths of
ruin. Now he is in the low restaur-
ant. The cards so greasy you can
hardly tell Who has the best hand.
Gambling for drinks. Shuffle away,
shuelle ,away. The landlord stands
in his shirt slecv,es, with his hands
on his hips, wetting kr an order to
fill up the glasses.
The clock strikes 1.2—the tolling of
the fueenal bell of a soul. The
breath of eternal woe flushes in that
young man's cheeks. In the jets „.of

worm that , never did. Two o'clock

A MIN KILLER
Fierce and Ravenous is Diabetes,
Which Defies All Medicines,
Except Doild's Kidney Pills, the Only
Beniedy on Earth That 'Removes
the Cauve of the Disease—
Dodd's lildney Pills
Never Fail.
Quebec, P. Q., March 19.—There
are certain diseases three sap the
brain, and dry up the springs of life,
besides undermining the strength.
Diabetes is such a disease.
Its symptoms are great thirst, fail-
ing, sight, dry mouth, coated tongue,
paleness, numbness in the thighs
pains or aches in the loins, or small
of the heels, increase of ui...ine; sugar
in the urine.
Any one, or two, seldom more, of
these appear in the sante cause.
Diabetes is caused by poison in the
blood.
Poison gets into tlie blood through
defective actiou of the kidneys,' which
should filter it out.
Heal and strengthen the lsidneys and
they will cleanse the blood. Then
Diabetes will vanish.
Dodd's Kidney Pills are the only
medicine on earth that can cure Dia-
etes. They are the only medicine
that can cure ths kidneys.
Here is proof: Mr. Sam Desroch-
ers, of 167 St. John St., Quebec, says: ,

five years.

Her Belief That the Same Remedy
Will Cure Other Sulferero.
Mrs. Daniel Robins, of Port Col-
borne, Out, is one of those who be-
lieve that when a remedy tor a dis-
ease has been found, it is the duty of
the person benefitted to inake it
known, in order that other sufferere
may also find the road to renewed
health. Mrs. Robins says: "In the
spring of 1897 my health gave way
and I became completely prostrated.
Nervousness, palpitation of the heart
and severe headaches were the chief
symptoms. The nervous trouble was
so severe as to border almost upon
St. Vitus' dance. The least exertion,
suck as going up stairs for example,
would leave me almost breathless,.
and my heart would palpitate violent-
ly. My appetite was very fickle and
I was much reduced in flesh: The
usual remedies were tried, but did
not help me. and eventually I became
so weak that I was unable to perform
my household duties, and the head-
aches 1 suffered from at time made
me feel as though my head Would.

when a cure in a case much resemb-

and I decided to give them a trial.
After Using two boxes I found so muck
relief that I was* greatly rejoiced te
know that I had found a medicine
that would cure me. I continued us-
ing Dr. Williams' Pink Pills until E
had taken eight or nine boxes, when
I considered my cure complete. The
palpitation of the heart, neryousuese
and headaches had disappeared;
appetite was again good, and I had
gained in weight nicely. I regar&
myself as completely restored and
would urge other women suffering as
I did to give Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills a trial, and I am sure they wita
have equally good reason to sound
their praise."
There are thousands of \veneera
throughout the country who suffer
as Mrs. Robins did, who are pale,
subject to headaches, heart palpitatime
and dizziness, who dra-,g along, fre-
quently feeling that life is a herder -
To all such we would say, give Dr.
