Pa, beginning August and closing
August 15.
The meeting was pronounced one
of the best in years and was under
the direction of the presiding elder,
Rev. j. +. Warner. Preceding the
camp meeting proper there was held,
on Monday afternoon and evening, a
temperance service. In the afternoon,
Rev. d. S. Mackellar gave an address
on the subject, THE Cloud That
Hides the Nations SUM-" In the even
ing, Rev. A. d. David gave an address
on who is Responsible"
Tuesday was Epworth League day
and the morning and afternoon was
given up to the helpful and interesting
addresses and papers. In the evening
Miss Maud Stewart, of Clifford, Pa.
gave very timely and thoroughly
prepared address on Sowing the Cen
tury Farm" The camp meeting SER
vices were held morning, afternoon
and evening. and the following minis
ters took part in the services: Rev.
j. F. Warner, p. e., Revs. Quimby,
Smith, Evans. Simpkins, Van Cleft,
Van Housen, David, Cavanaugh, Will
liams, Rawlings, Boyce, J. II. Karsch-
ner, Signor, Transue, w. F. Boyce.
The meetings were marked by ear
nestness and deep spirituality. Quite
a number were converted and all the
| charges represented received a spirit
ual uplift.
Sunday was pronounced the most or
| derly in years and nearly all seemed
| intent on showing respect for the
| place and the day. In the morning
! a collection Of $i45 was received TO
cancel the indebtedness of the asso-
citation and to make needed repairs. A
new platform and preachers tent ok
"a will be erected in the spring. Rev.
| A. ]. Van Cleft preached on Sunday
morning to a large congregation. The
! largest congregation at any one time
was on Sunday afternoon, when Rev.
l.. i. Van Hoesen held the-large au-
dience on the subject, "Sin and the
Atonement." Rev. S. c. Simpkins
preached a strong sermon in the even
ing.
The presiding elder preached the
closing sermon and the altar service
was the most interesting of the entire
session. A new feature of the camp
meeting was the holding of services
near the entrance gate on Sunday
afternoon, at the close of the after
noon sermon. Revs. A. d. David and
David Evans did excellent service
here, speaking to six or seven hundred
people.

BRIGHT'S DISEASE OF KIDNEYS.

a short time ate nourishing food,
and the piles, kidney trouble and
constipation all disappeared.
Flesh, strength and a splendid ap-
petite returned and went to work"
Catarrhal Inflammation of the mu-
cou lining OF the kidneys, also called
"BrightS disease" may be either
acute or chronic. The acute form pro-
duces symptoms of such prominence
that the serious nature of the disease
Is at once suspected, but tbs chrouic
variety may come on so gradually ana
insidiously that its presence is not
suspected until after it has fastened
itself thoroughly upon its victim.
The symptoms may make themselves
felt so gradually as to escape notice
for a long time, or manifest themselves
suddenly and produce at once alarm.
There is pain in the back and loins,
at first slight, and occasional after
wards, becoming a steady, dull, heavy
pain. There is more or less fever and
restlessne ss. according to the severity
of the attack. Also, among the early
symptoms there is some disturbances
of the organs of the abdomen, especial
ly the stomach.
At the apnearancc of the first symp-
tom Peruna should be taken in table,
spoonful doses six times each day; or.
| II more convenient, two tablespoonfuls
three times each day before each meal.
This remedy strikes at once at the
| very root of the disease.

munity. The question raised three times (Verscs
l5, 10. 20), pertaincd wholly to the method, the
secret OF the cure. They did not seem 10 know
that all processes in nature are mysterious CMark
iy: 27), and that whatever the cause, they were
destined to be left in ignorance concerning it.
The mans statement is artlcss, straightforward,
and circumstantial. lie knew Jesus only as a
man (Verscs 3j, 80, not having yet believed
in Him as the Messiah (NerSe 3S). All this,
the questioning and the answer tended 70 prove
that Jesus had wrought a genuine miracle. The
evidence would be taken in court as conclusive
TO establish this great fact that lie had lifted
up a beggar q Sam. ii: g., and made him to
see who had been all his life In darkness. stu
pcndous work Of God! Enter it in the bio
graphical sketch OF the closing months Of the
matchless life.
TESTIMONY (Vcrscs l2-lO. Every act Of Je.
sus, especially every miracle, revealed to those
about Him something Of his personality, awak-
cning wonder in the minds of all beholders.
There was double side to His deeds-onc ap-
pealing to the senses, and the other to the Curl
osity and even skepticism Of those who were
unable to understand Him. And so on this
occasion there were few who saw the blind
man restored and rcioiced. But by far the
greater number sought TO know by wnat power
the cure had been wrought. At first they ques.
toned the man who was content with a bare
fore the Pharsees who deemed themselves the
guardians Of religion and who took special note
Of all irregularities. They were puzzled be.
cause Jesus had performed the cure on the Sab.
bath day, which, to them, proved that He was
no prophet. But on turning TO the man for
his opinion they received a decisive and prompt
testimony, one that had doubtless been furnished
since he had been under the examination Of the
Pharisees.
CONu.USION.-The cure Of the blind man has
gone extensively into literature. BY some il
has been pressed too far through interpretations
highly fancliul. There Is doubtless a striking
resemblance between the sinner and the blind
man (Acts XVI: s.; Rev. ii; l7.ls), which may
be made to illustrate the saving Of the former
1t is also probable that some typical relation
! existed between the pool and Christ, although
that may be doubted by some. But by far the
best use to be made Of the passage is to exhibit
Jesus, who the Jews sought to KILL as a bene
factor, doing good even while pursued, making
I the hour of His rejection the time for doing
what had never been done before CVerse S9) Hi:

CONTEXT.-Betveen the last lesson (Matt, xviii
2l.35) and this there is considerable space OF
time, occupied with many interesting events
The story of Jesus at the feast OF tabernacles
(John Wis l.50, Of the woman taken in adul'
terry (John vii: I'D, and the record of His two
discourses concerning Himself and spiritual free.
dom (John vii: l2.50), should be followed by
the account of His final departure from GalilCe
and the mission Of the seventy (Luke tx: 81;
y: 2i). The parable OF the Good Samaritan
and the visit TO Mary and Martha complete the
narrative TO the present lesson. The scene Of
our lesson was in Jerusalem near the temple.
OCCASION (Verses l to 3).-As He passed
hastily along Jesus saw the blind man sitting
near the temple door, where begRars were &C.
cuSomed to wait (Acts Ills %, because there
almsgying was ostentatiously practiccd (Matt.
vi: u, being regarded a prominent feature in

OF this notion blind people were Stunned sim
ners Gohn tx; 80, and the apostles, by their
question, may have sought to turn Jesus away
from one esteemed unworthy But He informed
them that this blindness was not the result Of
sin. He did not mean that sin never brings
bodily suffering Ouke xiii 20. He then add.
ed, "but that the works OF God might be man.
ifested." Some have construed this TO signify
that the man was born blind that a miracle
might be performed. most horrid doctrine
Uam. iii: S3). He meant rather to say that
this furnished an occasion for the display Of His
power, that the man wan not to be despised, but
helped.
MOTIVE (Verses 4 and 5)--why did Jesus
pause to help this blind beggar2 He stated HIS
motives. He had been sent into the world.
| This was the Messianie idea (Mal. iii: 1; Matt
| N: IO). He W. here as messenger or agent,
| the representative OF the Father (John v: So).
As such He had been charged with doing the
works OF God (John iv; 3D. which constituted
the secret spring OF His being. Those words
had been determined IN the councils Of the Di.

had been specifically mentioned in the prophe,

| clares Himself to be the light Of the world, a
fact several times repeated John /: 40; Matt.

see. And because He was the light men were

Berlin, Nov. 14.-The govern
ment has officially informed the
Colonial Council that it will gladly
grant permission to $1,000 Trans
vaal Beers to trek through the
Kalasari Desert to territory in Ger
man Southwest Africa. Arrange.
ments therefore are now being made
to welcome the vanquished Beers
as a new and valuable element for
the colony.
The Kokal Anzeiger points out
that Bismarck, in 1893, spoke en-.
couragingly Of Beers as an acquisi-
ton for that part Of Germany's
colonial empire.
