 While the fine old custom of Christmas s carol singing has gone out entirely in this country, where, indeed, it never had a very strong hold upon transplanted meth ods of holiday celebration, and Is even passing away in England, where it was once one of the most deep-rooted of Brit ish institutions, there are still some semi rural districts in which the charmingly quaint melodies are still heard and find a ready response among those to whom they are sung.

Done So.

When the kidneys are sick they
give unmistakable warnings that
should not be ignored. By examin-
ing the urine and treating the kid
neys upon the first sign of disorder,
many days suffering may be saved.
Sick kidneys expel dark, ill-smell-
ing urine, full of ''brickdust" Sedi-
ment and painful in passage. Slug
gish kidneys cause a dull pain in
the small of the back, headaches,
dizzy spells, tired, languid feelings
and frequent rheumatic twinges.

kidneys only; they cure sick kid

throne of the Kingdom of the
Lord"
Rehoboam was about twenty-one
years of age when he came to the
throne at the death of his father
Solomon. King Solomon, although
reyerent toward God, was evident
ly much less jealous, much less re-
ligious than his father David. His
heather wives, the riches of the
kingdom and his political inter-
course with surrounding nations
made Elm what might be termed a
brightminded man rather than re-
ligious one. This was reflected
upon his son and successor and al
so upon the people he governed.
THE CRISIS AND THE ERROR
Besides this, Solomon's great en-
terprises, palatial buildings, etc.,
brought the revenue and glory to
his capital city, Jerusalem, and did
not evenly distribute it througho ut
the nation. Indeed, following the
custom of other kings, wealth was
gathered largely from the enforced
labor of his subjects, who we're COM

were drafted and put under task

was borne, though som etimes re-
sentfully, but when his son came to
the throne the northern tribes de-
termined that they would not ac-
knowledge him as king unless he
would give them what might be
termed a bill of rights Magma

They sent to Egypt for one of
their leaders, whom Solomon had
exiled for his outspoken criticisms.
Through him the ten tribes had a
general conference of tribe leaders
and informed Rehoboam that they
were not satisfied with the way they
had been treated by King Solomon.
Rehoboam and all realized that a
crisis in the affairs of the kingdom
had come. The matter was too

threats and attempted coercions
and the unwisdom of such courses,

power, influence, gained through
oppression and injustice, are un-
