CONCLUSIVE PROOF:
POM a Well Known Citizen.
"Illy daughter Polly, has for more thasa a year
beeu troubled with severe symptoms of kidney
disease. She had constant and acute pains in
bet' back. The pain in her head :was fearful -
awl almost unendurable. It frequently pre-
en ted her trona attending school, and she found,
study at home practically impossible. She had
no appetite, and did not sleep well. Tho pain
was very severe around her heart and she was
much troubled with fluttering and palpitation.
She was completely worn out in body and was.
tired and drowsy all the time. Her. mother
and myself became seriously alarmed as she
was constantly getting worse. .
Last July my daughter Sarala a teacher in
the Public School at Kingsville, Ont., came
home to spend her vacation, and finding her
sister iu such, a distressing and dangerous
aidition, said, 1 am taking - Doesn's Kidney
Pills and thoy are doing me rutich,good, I have
box with me and will aivide with Polly, which
she clid. By the time Polly bad finished the
half box hor improvement in health was
so marked, that I procured more from' Mr.
laraleigh's drugstore. •
Her full restoration to heal th and spirits was
rapid and continuous. She ha S now none of
her former dangerous, painful and distressing
kisluey troubles. She ea,ts and leeps well, and
for more than a month has enjoyed the -most
vigorous health. She has notllost a day at
school since she commenced taking the
aud has so much faith in thsan since they
restored her to full ladal_th that she wants ma
to Is-eop six boxes in the house all the time, in
case they should.be needed and. not available.
Hor cure has been so wonderful se thinks they
will cure any complaint.. If the pills had cost -
$10.00 a box, I would not have )°grudged the
money. The restoration of my d ughter to full
health and strong girlhood, from her former
serious sickness, etc., has made her mother,
myself and daughter a happ,y. family.
'I make this sworn statbment with the full
approbation of nay wife and daughter, volun-
tarily and without any urging or inducement
whatever, to show the gratitude my daughter,
wife and myself feel for the wonderful cure
wrought by the Doan Kidney Pills. We have
not the leaet doubt that her. trying the pills
just at the time she did • saved sal a large

Luke x, 20, "Rejoice because you
are written in heaven."
Chirography; or the art of hand iting,
like the Scieoce of acoustics, is in 'cry un-
satisfactory state. While constrt cting a
church and told by SOIDO archit cts that
the voice would not be heard in a milding
shaped like that proposed; I damn n much
anxiety to this city and consul ed. with
.Professor Josoph Henry of the Smi hsonian
institution about the law of acou tica He
said: "G9 ahead and build your c lurch th

all right. I have studied the laws • f sound
perhaps more than any man of ny
and I have dome so far as this: T o audi-
toriums may seem to be exactly -a ike, and
In One the acoustics may be go d and in
the other bad,"
In the same. unsatisfactory sta e is chi-
rography, althongli many declare hey have
reduced it- to a science. There re those
who say they can read character by hand-
writing. It is said that the way o se writes
-the letter "I" decides his egotisn or mod-
esty, and the way one writes he letter
"0" decides the height and dos th of his

flowing hand a facile anlibe. 1 spirit,
but if there be anything in th's science
there must be: some rules no yet aan-
.nounced, for some of the boldest and most
aggressive mon have a delicate pd small
penmanship, while 'some of the last thnid
. sign their names with the h ight and
width and scope of the name of oho Han-
cock on the immortal document. Some of
the cleaneat in person and thoug t present
'-their blotted and spattered page, and some
of the roughest put before us at immacu

the oppy plate set before us in our school-

now no. An autograph a1burn is always
a surprise, and you find the ptumanship

• Of coarse, the Bible for t o ost part,

we . do well to follow out thes inspired
metaphors and reap from tiieija courage
• and sublime expectation ami c nsolation
and victory. We are told thatiz4 the heav-
enly library there is a book �f ife. Per-
haps there are many volumes fll it.. -When
we say a book, wo 'mean all ritten by
the author on that subject. I 4ahnot tell
how large those heavenly vol Ines are,
nor the splendor of their blndlm4g, nor the
number of their pages, nor whitther they
are pictorialized with some exciting scenes
of this world. I mils, know that the words
have not been impressed by type but' writ -
tett out by some hand, and tha t all those
who, liko the 70 disciples to hom the
text was spoken, repent and trust the Lord
for their eternal salvation, surely have
their . names written in . heaven It may
not be the sante name that we rried on
earth. We may, through the i icousider-

Wiss.will know it so certainly tin t we Will
net have th be called twice by it, as in the
Bible, times the Lord called so o people
twice by name: "Saul, Saul!" 'Samuel,
Samuel!" "Martha, Martha!"
. When you come up and look for your
name in the mighty tomes of etc nity and
you are so happy as to find it t ter°, you
will notice that the peninanship is Christ's,
and that the letters were writt n -with a
trembling hand—not trembling with old
age, for he had. only passed Oredecades
when he expired. It was soon fter the
thirtieth anniversary of his birthth y. Loci:
over all the business accounts yo I kept Or
the letters you wrote at- 80 yearof age,
and if you were ordinarily strong tnd well
then there was no tremor in tbn chirog-
raphy. Why the tremor in the h Ind that
wrote your uaine-in heaven? Oh, it was a
compression of more troubles tl an ever
s, .
mote any one else, and all of th m trou-
hleS•itesuined for others. Christ wa - prema-
turely old. He bad been exposed t all the
weathers of Palestine. He had sle t out of
doors—now in the night dew, an now in

urf of Lake Galilee. Pillows fo others,

Pulls upon the stomach, and the tomach
pulls upon the brain, and the bran pulls
upon the nerves, and the agitate( nerves
make the hand quake. On the to of all
this exasperation came abuse. Wh it sober

• But Christ was called one. What r specter
of the Lord's day wants to be calla a Sab-
bath breaker? But he -was call d one.
What man, careful of the com ny he

'Many victims of crucifixion lived day i

sae
you End It Was written with a tram Ming
pennsanship—irenibling with every letter
of younainb, if it be your earthly name,
et' trembling with every letter - of 'your
heavenly name, if that . be different and
mbro .ouplioniousi That will not be the
first dine you 'saw the mark of a, quivering
pen, for did you not, oh, man, years ago
see your name so writteu on the, back of a
letter, and you opened it, saying, "Why,
here is aletter from mother!" or 'Here is
a letter from father!" and after you opened
it you found all the words, because of old
age, were traced irregularly and upcortaits,
80 that you could hardly read it at all?
But, after much study, you made it eutL-
a letter from home, telling you. how much,
they missed you, and how much they
prayed for you, and how Much they wanted
to see you, and ifit might not be on earth
that so it might be in the world where
there are no partings. ' Yes your name 13
written in lieztVen, if writts;fl at all, with
trembling chirography.
Bold 'llandwriting.
Again, in examination of your name in
the heavenly archives, if you find, it there
at all, you will find it written with a bold
'hand. You have seen many a signature
that because of sickness or old age had a
tremor in it,- yet it was as bold as the man
who wrote it. Many an order written on
the battlefield and amid the thunder of the
cannonade has had evidence of excitement
in every word and every letter and in the
speed with which it was folded and handed
to the officer as he put his foot Jo the swift
stirrups, and yet that commander, not-
withstanding his trembling hand, gives a
boldness of order that shows itself in ev-
ery word written:
You do not need to be told that a trem-
bling hand does not always mean a cow-
ardly hand. It was with a very trembling
hand Charles Carroll of Carrollton signed
his mune to the Declaration of American
Independence, but no signer had ?Dore
courage' and when seine one said, "There
are many Charles Carrells, and it will not
- be known which one it is," he roeumed the
pen and wrote Charles Carroll Of Carroll-
- ton. Trembling htiod no sign Of timidity.
- The daring and defiance Seen in the way
your name is written in heaven is a chal-
lenge to all earth and hell to cense on if
-they can to 'defeat your ransomed soul.
The way your name is written there is as
much as to Say: "I have redeemed him; I
died for him; I am going te crown and
enthrone him. Nothing shall oven happen
down in that world where he now lives to
defeat my determinationth keep him, to
shelter him, to save him. By my Alinighty
grace I am going to fetch him here. He
may slip and slide, but he has got to come
here. By my omnipotent sword, by the
combined strength of all heaven's princi-
palities and powers and dominions, by the
20,000 chariots of the LordAlmighty I ain
going to see him through." Bold hand-
writing! It is the boldest thing ever writ-
ten th write my name there and your name
there. He knows our weaknesses and bad
propensities better than 'we know them
ourselves. He knows all the Apollyonic
hosts that are sworn to down us if they
can. He knows all the temptations -that
will assail us betsve,en now and . the mo-
ment of our last pulsation of the heart,
and yet he delve th write our name there.
Boldness! Nothing at Saragossa or Chalons
or Marathon or Thermopylae to equal it.
Nothing in the sack of gun powder which
one.English soldier carried under the blaz-
ing artillery of the Mohammedans and
blew up the gate of Delhi! Can you not
see the boldness in the penmanship that
has already written our names there?
Apostle Peter, what do you think of i/
And he answers, "Kept by the power of
God through faith unto complete salva-
tion." Oh, blessed Christ, what dost thou
mean by it? And he answers, "They shall
never perish, neither shall anyman pluck
them out of my hand." "Your names
are written in heaven."
". Plain 'Writing.
Again, if, according to the promise of
the text, you are permitted to look into
the volumes of eternity and shall see your
name there, you will find it written in
lines, In words, in letters unmistakable.
Some people have come to consider indis-
tinct and almost unreadable penmanship
'a. mark of genius, and so they affect it.
Because every paragraph that Thomas
Chalmers and Dean Stanley and Lord
• Byron and. Rufus Choate and other potent •
men wrote was a puzzle, imitators make
their penmanship a puzzle. Alexaudre
Dumas says that plain penmanship is the
brevet of incapacity. Theis there are some
who, through too much demand upon
their energies and through lack of tittle,
lose tho capacity of Making the pen Intel
ligible, and much of tho writing of . this
world is indecipherable. We have seen
piles of inexplicable chirography, and we
ourselves have helped augment the magni-
tude. We have not been sure of the name
signed, or the sentiment expressed, or
whether the reply was affirmative or nega-
tive. Through indistinct penmanship lust
wills and testaments have been defeated,
widows and orphans robbed of their inher-
itance, railroad trains brought into colli-
sion through the dim words of a telegram
put into the hand of a conductor, and regi-
ments In this wise, mistaking their in-
structions, have been sacrifieed in. battle.

dered!", But your name, once written. in
the Lamb's book of life, will be so ;uns
mistakable that all heaven can read it at
the first glance. It will not be taker for
the.name of some other, so that in regard
to -it there shall come to be disputa-
tion. Not one of the millions and
billions and quadrillions of the finally
saved will doubt that it means you and
only, you. Oh, the glorious, the raptur-
ous certitude of that entrance on tho
heavenly roll! Not saved in a promiscuous
way. Not pet into a glorified mob. No,
no! Though you came up the worst -sine
ner that was ever saved and Somebody
who knew you'in this world at one time as
absolutely abandoned and dissolute should
say, "1 never heard of your conversion and
I do not believe you have a right to be
here," you could just laugh a laugh of tri-
umph, i, and, turning over the leavost con-
tainiug the names of the redeemed, say:
"Read:it for yourself. That is my name,
written out in 4u11, and do you not recog-
nize the handwriting? No young Scribe of
heaven entered hat. No anonymous writer
put it there. I) you not see the tremor in
the lines? Dp you not also see the bold-
ness of the 1.stters? Is it not as plain as
yonder thronct as plain as yonder gate? Is
not the nametarimistakable and the hand-
writing .unlakable? The crucified Lord
wrote it ther ef the day I repented and. turn-
-, Hear it! iHear it! My name iwrit-
ten there! There!"
The , List of Names.
.I have sometimes been tempted to think
that there will be so many of us in heaven
that we will be lost in the crowd. No.
Each one of us will be as distinctly picked,
out and recognized as was Al.)el when he
entored from earth, the very first sinner.
saved; and at the head of that long proces-
sion of sinners saved Ir all the centuries.
My dear hearers, if we once get there, I do
not want it left uncertlain as to whether
we are to stay there. After you and I get
fairly settled ther& 'in qur heavenly home
we do not want our title( proved defective.
We do not want to be ejected from the
heavenly nremises. We do not want some
Pitcher's Cas oria.

dile to gay: "This Is not your roona in the
house of many mansions, and‘you have on
an attire that you ought not to have taken
Prone the heavtulltsivardrobe, and that la
not really yawr otane on the book. If you
had more carefully examined the writing
in the -register at the gate, you would
have found. that the name was not yours
at all, but naii1e. Now, move out, whilel[
move in." Oh, what wretchedness, after
once wershiplikg in heavenly temples, to
be compelled to turn your back on the
music, and after ha-ving joined the society
of the blessed to he forced to quit it for-
ever, and after having ela,sped our long
lost kindred in heavenly embrace tO have
• another separation! What an agony Would
there be in such a • goodby th heaven!
Glory be to God on high that our i amea
will be so plaiuly written in those vo umes
that neither ,saint nor cherub nor eraph
nor archangel shall doubt it for on mo-
ment, for 600 eternities, if there were room
for so inanY1 The oldest inhabit nt of
heaven can read it, and the child th st left
its mother's lap 1a4 night for heavsin can
read it. You will 'rUltt just look a your
name and" close the book, but yoiv will
stand and. soliloquize and. say: "Is it not
wonderful that my naine is there 4v4 all?
,How much it cost my Lord to get it here?
Unworthy am I to have it in the same
book with the sons and daughters of mar-
tyrdom and with the choice spirits of all
time! But there it is, and so plain the
word and so plain all tho letters!" .
And you will turn forward and back-
ward the leaves and see other names them
perhaps your father's name, and your
mother's oame'and your brother's name,
and your sister's naane, and your wife's
moue, and apostolic names, and say: "1
\ am not surprised that those names are
here recorded. They were better , than I
• ever was. But astonishtnent overwhelm-
ing, that my mune is in this book!" And
turning back to the page on which is in-
scribed your name you will stand and look
at it until, seeing that others are waiting
to examine the records with reference to
their own names, you step back into the
ranks ot the redeemed, with them to talk
over the wonderment.
Indelible Ink.
Again, if you are so happy as to find
your name in the volumes of eternity you
will find it written indelibly. Go up th
the state department in this national capi-
tal and seo the old treaties signed. by the
rulers of foreign flattens just before or just
after the beginning of this century, and
you will find that some of the documents
are so faded out that you can read only
here and there a word. From the paper
yellow With age, or the parchment unroll-
ed before you, time has effaced line after
line. You have to guess at the name, and
perhaps guess wrongly. Old rriine is rep-
resented as carrying a scythe, with which
he cuts down the 'generations, but he car-
ries also chemicals with which he eats out
whole paragraphs from important docu-
ments. We talk about indelible ink, but
there is no such thing as indelible ink. It
Is only a question of time, the complete
obliteration of all earthly si atures and
engrossments. But your nante, put in the
heavenly record, all the mi lennitims of
heaven cannot dim it. After ou have been
so long in glory that did. y u not possess
inperishable memory you w uld have for-
gotten the day of your entrant e your name
on that page, will glow as vividly as on the
instantit was traced there by the finger of
the Great A:toner.
There will be new generations coming
into heaven, and 1,000 years from now,
from this or from other planet, „souls may
enter the many mansioned residence, and,
though your name were once plainly on
the books, suppose it should fade out?
How could you prove to the newcomers
that it had ever been written there at all?
Indelible! Incapable of being canceled!
Eternity as helpless as time in any at-
tempt at erasure! What a re -enforcing,
uplifting thought! Other records in heav-
en may give out and Will give out. There
are records there in which the recording
angel writes down- our sins, but it is a
book full of blots, so that much of the
writing there cannot be read . or even
guessed at. The recording angel did the
writing, but our Saviour put in the blots,
for did he not promise, "I will blot out
their transgressions?" And if some one
in heaven should remember some of our
earthly iniquities and ask God about them,
the Lord would say: "Oh, I forgot them!
I completely forgot those sins, for I prom-
ised, 'Their sins and their iniquities will I
remember no more.' " In the fires that
burn up our world all the safety deposits,
•and all tho title deeds, and all the halls of
record, and all the libraries will disappear,
worse than when the 200,000, volumes and
the 700,000 manuscripts of the Alexan-
drian library went down under the torch
of Omar, and not a leaf or word will
escape the flame in that last conflagration,
which I think will be Witnessed by other
planets, whose inhabitants will exclaim,
"Look, there is a world on fire!" But
there will be only one conflagration in
;heaven, and that will not destroy, but ir-
'radiate. I mean the conflagration of
splendors that blaze on the towers and.
domes'and temples and thrones and rubied
and diamonded walls in the light of the
sun that never sets. Indelible!
There is not on earth an autograph letter
or signature of Christ. The only time he
wrote out a word on ;earth, though he
knew so well how to write, he wrote with
reference to having it soon -Shuffled out by
human foot, the dine that lie stooped
down and with his finger wrote on the
ground the hypocrisy of the Pharisees. But
when he writes your name in the heavenly
archives, as I believe 1101 has or hope he
may, Itis to stay theret from age to age,
from cycle to cycle, from ion to eon. And.
so for all you Christian !people I do what
John G. Whittier, the dying poet, said he

tell the story of his life. He had for many
years been troubled with insomnia and
