At a great gathering recently - in Denver, Mr. Ira W, Sankey, before singing I" The Ninety and Nine," which perhaps of all his compositions is the one that has brought him the Most fame, gave an account Of its birth. Leaving Glasgow for Edinburgh with Mr. Moody, he 'stopped at a news- stand and bought a p nny religious paper.' Glancing oyer- it as th y rode on the cars, his eye fell upon a few little verses- in the Corner of the page. Turning to Mr. Moody, he said,. "I've found my hymn." But Mr. Moody was busily 'engaged and did not hear a word. Mr. San ey did. not find time to make D. tune for . he verses, so he pasted them in ..his music scrap -book. One .day they had an usually impressive meeting 'in Edinburgh, itawhich Dr. Boner' had -spoken with great effect on "-The Good Shepherd." At the close of . the *address, Mr. Moody beckoned to hia partner to sine something appropriate. At. first he could think of nothing -but the twenty-third Psalm, but that he had sung so often ; ' his second thought was to sing the verses he had found in the newspaper, but the third thought was, how could it he done when he had no Itune for them ? 'Then a fourth thought came, and that was to sing the verses, any- way. He.put the verses before him, touch- ed the key of the organ, opened his mouth and sang, not knowing where he was going to come out. He finished the first veree amid profound_ silence.- He took a. long breath and wondered if -he could sing the secOnd -the same way. He tried it and suc- ceeded. After that it was easy to sing it. 1When he finished the hyme the meeting 1 wassail broket down—the throngs were cry- • ing anal the ministers were sobbing 6,11 around him. Mr. Sankey says it was. the most intense *moment of his life; From that, moment it was a populist- hymn. Mr.Moody said at the titne that he had. never heard a song'like that.' It was:sung at every meet- inee and was soon going over . the world.. Wide travelling in the Highlands of Scots land a, short, time later Mr. Sankey received a letter from a lady at Melrose thanking him for singing the verses written by her sister. That sieter was Elizabeth C. Clephane.1 He wished to call it " The Lost Sheep," but Air: Moody insisted.upon calling W." 1•Tine- ty and . Nine " wherever he announced it. Mr. Sankey firmly believes that . God in- spired him to sing that song with such effect, and the honor should be His. . • His Father Played the Organ. *A very simple and natural misunderetand- ing lately created a bit of amusement hat New York and wa, thought worth 'report- ing in The Herald At one of the n Svsboys' homes on the ea,steide, applicati n was received, for. the admission of a new boy.

A VICTIM OF SCIATICA.. UNABLE TO WORK TROUGH STRONG AND 1 The Sufferings of a Well Known Guelph Citizen—Could not Move about without the Aid of a Stick—Again as Strong and Healthy as Ever. From the Guelph Mercury. There is perhaps no business orl °coupe- tionthat any man could follow that is molire trying to . the - h filth—particularly in the man leaves the shop with his clothing wrieig- ing wet from perspiration, and a cold wihd c iills him to the marrow, making him a dred troubles. A moulder requEres to be a man of more than ordinary strength, and so continue at his work mustalways *se in good beadth, for the moulding shop is no place for an invalid. Sciatica is by no means an uncommon afiliction for men of this erafte and once the dread disease has lanced a victim he seldom shakes himself free from it.again. In fact some people declare that it is incurable, but that it is not eve are -able to testify by a personal liaterview with one once afflicted with the trouble, but who is raw in perfect health, thanks to histimely use of the famous rem- edy. There are few workmen better.known in Guelph than Charles W. Waldren, per- haps better known as " Charley Waldren," for he has lived in Guelph almost contin- uously since he was three years of age, and he has now passed the 38th mile post. Air. Waldren is a Moulder, and has worked rib that business for 22 years: and besides, be- ing noted as a steady workman, he is a man whose veracity is unquestipned. It is a well known,fact here that Mr. Waldren had to quit evork in denaary, 1896, ore account of a severe attack of sciatica, and for eleven weeks was unable to do a tap. Knowing that he was again at work a Mercury re- porter called at his residence one evening to learn the exact facts of the 'case. Mr. Waldren,when spoken to on the subject, re- plied quite freely, and, had no hesitation in crediting Dr. Williams' Pink Pills with his remarkable recovery. ." I am not one of those people who are aeeking newspaper no- toriety, said Mr. Waldren, "neither have I been snatched from death's door, but from the day when I quit work, until March 30th, when I started again, I.was confined to the house with sciatica. It located in my hip and would shoot down my leg to my foot and was very painful. I could not move about the house without the aid of a cane, and then only with great pain. I was totally useless as far as doing my work was concerned, was never free from pain, and it made me feel very much depressed, for be- yond.that I felt strong and anxiouis to be about. I am a member of three benefit so- cieties, froin which I drew pay, viz.: The Three Links, the Iron Moulders' Association and the Raymond enefit Society. People caine to see me, a d of course everybody recommended a sur cure. I didn't try half i) of them. It was not possible, but 1 tr ed a great many—particularly remedies t at I had been in the habit of using sfor lam ago —but I found no relief. I tried Drs Vil- Hems' Pink Pills. After using two boXes I noeiced- an improvement and I kept on using them. When I h d used six boxes I was back at work again. I kept on until I had finished the 8th bo a and I neyer felt better in my life. "Have you noticed any recurrence of trouble since?" queried the reporter. " I have not," he replied, "suffered a single twinge since." Mr. Waldren has worked in all the moulding shops in the city, and l'qts never in his life laid off sick as long, ea he was from the ettack of sciatica. -He hardly knew what it was to be sick, and is of that tough wiry nature that he can etand meoh greater physical strain than nsost peo- ple would imagine. Almost any person in the city can verify his story. Mr. Waldren, said, as the reporter got up to leave " I only hope some poor fellow who has suffered as I did may notice my case and get relief as Dr.Williams' Pink Pills create new blood, build up the nerves, and thus drive disease from the system.
