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 been down, and he has started on the broad road to ruin for this life and ruin for the life to come, and the fa- ther says to his wife: "Mother. the • Ten Conuriandmente are a failure. No tise of Westminster catechlein, I have done my very best for that boy. Just see how he has turned out." .Ah! my • friend, you stuffed that boy with re- ligion. You had no sympathy With innocent lillarities. You had no com- mon sense. A nan ef niallife said to Jne: "I haven't much deeire fOr re- ligion. My father was as good a man as ever lived„ but he jammed religion down me throat when I' Was a boy. 1.1 until 1 get disgusted with it, and I haven't \vented any pf it since." That father erred on one side, Then the discipline is an entire fail- ure in many households beeause the father pulls one way and the mother pulls the other war The father says, "ely son, I told you if 1 ever found you guilty of faisehopd again weutd chastiee you, and I ant go- ing to keep niy promise."

But after an hile the lad thinks' he ouelit to have a still larger supply. He has beiu treated, and ee must treat, He must have wine suppers. There are 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 the gaslight the .fiery tongue of the worm that , never did. Two o'clock In the morning, and now they are sound asleep in their ehairs., Land- lord comes around and says: "Wake up, wake up! Time to shut up !" "What?' says the young man. "Titue to shut up?" Push them all out into the night air.Now they are going home. Going home! Iset the wife crouch in the corner and the children hide under the bed. What was the history of that yotmg man?

'rim statistic has never been made up in these great cities of how many have been destroyed and many beau- tiful homes have been overthrown. If the statistic could. be presented, it would freeze your blood in a solid cake at your heart. Our great Cities are full of temptations, and to vast multitudes of parents these tempta_. Lions become a matter of great soli- citude. But now for the alleviations. First of all, you save yourself a great (MO of trouble, 0 parent, if you can earey vetch the children and educate them for God and heaven.

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: , "I have suffered with Diabetes for five years. "My feet were always cold.

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. burst. I was feeling very discouraged when a cure in a case much resemb- ling mine through the use of Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills came to ray notice 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. Willains' Pink Pills a fair trial.
