straightway cometh forth the purest sill

CRYING FOR HELP.
Lots of 1t In Akron But Daily
Growing Less.

The kidneys cry for help.
Not an organ in the whole body SO
delicately constructed.
Not one so important to health.
The kidneys are the filters of the
blood.
When they fail. the blood becomes
foul and poisoned.
There can be no health where there
is poised blood.
Backache is one of the first indica-
tinns of kidney trouble.
1t is the kidneys cry for help.
Heed it.
Doan's Kidney Pills are what is
wanted.
Are just what over-worked kidneys
need.
They strengthen and invigorate the
kidneys; help them do their work
never fail to cure any case of kidney
disease.
Read the proof from an Akron cit
izen:
Mrs. Clara Legrand, of 206 East
Center street, says: Il have had no
backache nor kidney trouble since
using Doan's Kidney Pills. | pro-
cured them from j. Lamparter &
Co.'S drug store several months ago

a good remedy and I recommend
them to others without hesitation"

A DARK SHADOW.

never saw my mothers face;
God drew a shadow DER my baby eyes,
And there it lies,
Unchanged by time or place;
But have felt her loving breast
Breathe heart sore signing for the joys mis-.
And felt her kiss
Upon my eyelids pressed
never saw Gods lovely world,
But haze listened to the whispering trees
And felt the breeze
That springs sweet leaves uncurled.
! never gazed upon rose,
But have laid the flower against my cheek
And heard God speak
And mysteries disclose
Ard he has made me understand:
Though dark the shadow that now holds m
blind,
God Is behind.
Unseen fee! his hand
And know that from my darkened eyes
The lifelong shadow will be rolled away
One solemn day.
oh, rapturous surprised
My happy lips cen HOW must sing.
These eyes, unclosing in the streets of gold,
Will first behold
The face of Christ, my King

HUNTING FoRAcoMMUNlTY

Two EvanGeIists Travel From Kan
sas to Boston on Strange Mission.
Two brown horses drawing n somber
brown covered vehicle, which might
have been fashioned from a discarded
railroad car or a night lunch wagon,
appeared at the corner of Washington
and School streets the other morning,
and for nearly an hour excited the in
terest and drew comment from n large
number of pedestrians, says the Bos-
ton Transcript. The gon was about
10 feet long and feet wide, and its
sides were made up seemingly of can
vas squares, each with a small window.
The only external indication of the
why and wherefore of its presence was
a placard on each side, near the rear
of the wagon, upon which were the
words: Gospel Carette, Cosmic Refor-
nation. Get Right With God"
In direct contrast TO its plain exterior
was the scene revealed when the door
in front. through which the occupants
manipulate the reins, was opened.
Cozily tucked in a corner of the vehicle
to the right of the entrance, a little
stove sent its heat radiating through
the wagon; directly opposite was cup
blocked the way, while in the back
ground was sleeping cot. Books,
pamphlets, clothes, umbrellas, a saw,
camp stools. boxes. tables, charts and
various other articles were scattered
about, and a little black skye terrier
looked comfortably out from a little
round hole in a wooden box.
The vehicle and it's accouterments
are the property of n father and son
who started out from Kansas to find
a community where Christians not
only pray and work for the heavenly
state. but where three institutions can
be established for the worlds CONVEX
sion to Christ. The first of these
schemes aims at the reinstatement of
a church just like that at Jerusalem,
which is mentioned in the Acts of the
Apostles; second, the establishment of
q cosmopolitan university for the in
PRODUCTION of n reformed educational
system which will prevent contradic-
ton and disagreement on different sub
jects, especially that of Christianity
third, the establishment of a santa
rum for the introduction of a health
system in harmony with the laws of
mans physical nature.
Since leaving Kansas in their search
for the desired community these mod
ern crusaders have travelled through
Illinois and thence to Cleveland, AL
bany and Worcester. They hold evan
gelical meetings to test the spirit of
the people, and they are still journey
ing that they may ascertain the condi-
lions in all places, north, south, east
and west, before making any decision
as to their triple quest. Their stay in
one place depends upon the degree of
fervor with which people meet their
ideas. When they gain some knowl-
edge of the strength of Christianity's
hold on Bostonians, they probably will
direct their horses heads to Maine.
