The true test OF any religion is the effect it
produces upon the lives of those who profess
it And, indeed, the test OF real merit every i
where must be the power It possesses Of
accomplishing desirable results. In this age
OF the world men are not judged by what
they claim to be able to do, but by
what they can do; not by what they
are reputed to be, but by what they are.
Here is where the religion of our own country 1
rises superior to the faith of Mohammedan
or Hindoo lands; for while there is much
hypocrisy in the Church, and far too much
worldliness, there is yet an absence Of those
sensual and brutal elements which character
ize the religions of Arabia and the Ganges-
This principle is equally true in all other
departments of life. The same rule which
applies to persons is equally applicable to
things. Unquestioned merit must character
ize them all, or they cannot be acce ptable,
much less popular. The clear and wen ar
ranged lecture delivered by DR.. Chas. Craig
before the Metropolitan Scientific Association
appeared IN the columns of this paper short
time since. In this lecture some new truths
were brought to light bearing directly upon,
and affecting the interests OF, the entire COM
munity. These facts, as stated by the doc
tor In his lecture, have been discussed in the
columns OF the religious press to q consider
able extent in the past, and that, too, by very
prominent personages. A few years ago the
Rev. ]. E. Rankin, d. D., of Washington, who
Is prominently known among the Congrega-
tional denominations Of the country pub
lished an article upon the same subject which
drew forth most bitter replies from
prominent physicians, and in response
to these articles DR.. Rankin published
long communications in the New q York
Ind LIZ
the Chicago Advance reiteratIng his former
statements and strongly emphasizing them.
In these articles DR.. Rankin frankly stated
he was as strongly convinced Of the efficacy
of the means used as he was that the Gene
see river emptied into Lake Ontario. he
further said: "1 have known too, of its use
in similar cases By physicians Of the highest
character and standing, and 1 WANT, in the
interest Of humanity to recommend Warmers
Safe Kidney and Liver Cure" 2 ulI.-.s.!oJ
Now while very few people are afflicted as
severely as was DR.. Craig, or the cases DR..
Rankin refers to, stiI it Is lamentable fact
that the great majority of people, In all parts
Of the land, are suffering to q greater or less
extent from III health and that this lack Of
health arises from either disordered kidneys
or liver. Some additional facts, from the
highest sources, Of special interest upon q
have therefore been collected BY this paper,
and are herewith given: -1s b3sisa, ,-.ol
