Husband and Wife Both
Saved From Suffering

I wish to tell you the good results my
self and husband received from DR.. Kill
mer's Swamp-Root. About eleven years
ago I had severe attack of La Grippe
and was confined to my bed about eight
weeks under the doctors care. He pro-
nounced my case kidney trouble and rheu-
.natism and not receiving the results from
the doctors treatment / should have re-
ceived, decided to try Swamp-Root Aft
er taking several bottles of Swamp-Root
was able to get up and attend to my work.
About year later my husband was af-
fected with severe attack of kidney trou-
BILE and doctored for some time with the
doctors and received no benefit. Knowing
of the good 1 had received, he decided to
try Swamp-Root. His condition was such
that he was confined to his bed and words
cannot tell how he suffered, but after tax
ing Swamp-Root he was relieved SO he
could go on with his work without pain.
l wish to heartily recommend Swamp Root
to all persons afflicted with kidney and
bladder troubles and you may publish this
letter if you wish.
Yours truly,
MRS. A. E. BRIGGS,
Eldred, Pa.

I the chief of sinners am,
But Jesus died for me.

Inc same Sp1r1C was manifested ny
Charles Spurgeon, who said during the
serious illness, that if he got well he
would have many things to preach,
but just at that time four words were
enough for him, Jesus died for me"
DR.. A. J. Gordon was man of such
sanity character that his very face
gave evidence Of the indwelling light.
A servant girl who met him at the
door one day told her mistress that
she did not know his name, but he
had the face of an angel. Yet when
he came to his last hours, his express
sions of unworthiness and of absolute
dependence upon the mercy and grace
Of God were so affecting, that his fam
fly could not bear to remain in the
room These men all agree in saying,
mot as though had already attained,
either were already perfect"
speaks of a sense in which we may
be perfect. The context shows that
the apostle is using the figure of run
ner in a race. He has not yet at
tanned the prize, but forgetting the
things which are behind and reaching
forth unto those which are before, he
presses toward the mark. 1t is this
attitude to which the word perfect"
is applied. The man has laid aside
the weights and the easily besetting
sin; he is not content with what he
has attained, but forgetting that which
is behind, he presses with neck
stretched forth and every muscle
strained, to the goal. 1t will be seen
at once that this sort Of perfection is
very imperfect and is in no sense
finality. 1t only prepares us to be
made perfect in the day of Christ's
coming Nevertheless we are bound
by the grace of Christ to fulfill this
ideal and not to put him to shame.
Two matters are involved in the ex-
hortation to be thus minded" First
of all if we feel like the apostle, we
will have the lowly estimate of our
selves of which we have spoken, the
feeling that we have not attained.
Very far from Christian perfection is
pride; on the contrary, humility is it's
very essence. Again. If we are per
feet in the sense of which the apostle
speaks, we will emulate him in
pressing forward for the prize of final
glory This is the very opposite OF
complacency as to our attainment. 1t
is said that Thorwaldsen once wept
because he was satisfied with a statue
he had made. Alas" he said. 81 shall
never improve now. for have reached
my ideal" How ought they to be
aroused who, because they have come
to Christ and are living with some
consistency, are satisfied! Life mani.
tests itself by growth and he who is
not growing may well examine him
self to see whether he be in the faith
How good it is that the apostle goes
on to assure US that IF in anything
We be otherwise minded. God will re-
veal even this unto you" May he give
us grace to walk in this light!

may seem to some unnecessary that
man should disavow this final per-
lection since he is evidently not yet
raised from the dead; but the human
mind is capable of very strange things,
and this same apostle Paul speaks of
some in his day who taught that the
resurrection is past already. On
some such basis, it seems, that teach
ers arose who declared that even now
we may reach the perfection which be-
longs to the resurrection state. The
apostle is clearly against such a doc
trine.
Bishop Moule, one Of the most saint
ly men the modern church has pro-
duced, in commenting upon this pas
sage says: CAS- far as my own obser-
walton goes, such views q. e. of per-
fection) are not uncommonly attended,
in those who hold them, by a certain
oblivion to personal shortcomings and
inconsistencies; by an observation of
consciousness, and of conscience,
more or less marked, towards the sin
fitness of ordinary, everyday viola
tons of the law of holiness in respect
of meekness, humbleness Of mind, long
suffering, sympathy, and other quiet
graces."
Indeed, the saints of all the ages
unite with Paul in declaring that they
are not already perfect The apostle,
after suffering many things for
Christ's sake so that he bore In his
body the marks of the Lord Jesus,
writes Of himself as "chief of sinners"
John Bunyan although he spent twelve
years in Bedford jail for his Lord

Wesley thought he was dying, he re-
viewed his labors of sixty years, but
could find no peg upon which to hang
any hope of salvation; he could only
