The attention of Alderman Allan's con-

his opposition to Alderman Littlefield's

motorists be restricted TO the outside

could play without the street dangers

A MERCnEss JUDGE
One Who Shows No Favor.

A merciless Judge is Father Time
Before him the weak and wanting GO
to the wall Only the truth can stand
For years the following statement
from a Maysville resident has with
stood this sternest Of all tests.
Frederick Dresel, tailor, 1888 Il.
Second St., Maysville, says: 81 was
troubled with Inflammation of the
bladder and an annoyance from my
kidneys The passages of the kidney
secretions were irregular and l had a
severe pain across the small of my
back which interferred with my du-
ties. When a friend advised me to try
Doan's Kidney Pills, 1 got a box at
Wood & Sons Drug Store. They gave
me prompt relief"
OVER THREE YEARS LATER
Mr.. Dresel said: "Since l used Doan's
Kidney Pills, have not had any kid
ney trouble nor have / had to take
kidney medicine in that time"
Price soc, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy-get

in that he made known his belief. One
thing is certain, that is, he knew what
he did believe. The great need Of the
church today is for the rank and file
of the membership to have so proved
their faith that they can successfully
defend it. The church would grow by
unprecedented strides II each member
would testify with positiveness. The
real trouble with the church in our
day is that there are so many who are
too timid to speak in behalf of Chris
tianity to their friends. Too afraid Of
being laughed at; or of being opposed,
and in this way lose the friendship of
some of our acquaintances. Stephen
paid no attention to any of these
things. He knew that those out of
Christ had not the promise of saliva
ton that those who accepted Christ
had. He was not looking for the easy
way. He was interested enough In
the church to face persecution. He
might have excused himself when he
saw that there was opposition to the
Gospel Could he not have satisfied
his conscience that he was called to
act as deacon and not as a preacher?
To Stephen his physical discomfort
was nothing compared to his interest
in the extension of the gospel He was
determined to do, az any cost, all he
could for Christ, and as a result be
became a martyr. Should the church
take her stand today against the
world rather than with the world,
more would be accomplished. How
ever, it is, without fraction of the
general church membership standing
out boldly for the truth, the cause of
Christ and the influence of His gospel
is becoming more prominent every
day.
Opposition To the Church.
In every age there are some to op-
pose the church The world will not
yield to the demands of the gospel
truths without a struggle. Let that
church or religious society in any
community count itself doing the
Masters will if the worldly lelement
is opposing IL.

Stephen, one of the seven deacons
mentioned in the last lesson, attempt
ed to defend Christianity and to prove
the divinity of Jesus to the people who
we're worshipping in one Of the syna-
gogues used by the foreign born Jews
in the city of Jerusalem Being unable
to withstand his scriptural arguments,
these men stirred up the elders and the
scribes and the general populace and
thus we're embolden to arrest him and
bring him before the Jewish council
where some of his disconnected SEN
fences were used against him. Being
permitted to answer the charges, he
took the occasion to review Jewish his
tory with the purpose in view, not of
defending himself. but of proving that
every advance step in the Jewish re-
ligion was met with opposition just as
they now were opposing the religion
of the Son of God. He classed them
with the murderers of the prophets
and accused them of not keeping the
law which had been given to them. Be-
ing unwilling to hear him farther,
they CRASHED on him with their teeth
to give vest to their anger. They re-
fused to hear his statement of the
heavenly vision he was then having
and cast him out of the city, where
they stoned him while he was praying
that this sin should not be laid against
them.
Defending the Truth.
Stephen recognized it to be his priv
nege as well as his duty to preach
the gospel to his own Jewish friends,
who thus far had shown no inclination
to accept it. He was a true disciple

Having Heavenly visions,


Stephen was not moved In his ac-
ton by earthly, physical views only.
He could In faith see Jesus and God
and the angels. He knew he was not
alone. He believed in the omnipo-
tence of Christ and God and acted as
II he believed II. Then in the time Of
the bitter opposition, he was on the
permitted to actually see into the hea-
vens and there he saw Jesus standing
on the right hand of God as II ready to
receive him. This is one of the re-
wards of the faithful. Many Of the
sanity souls who in their dying hour
have spoken Of seeing the glories OF
heaven have borne testimony to the
privilege of the godly to have heaven
| ly visions.
The Christian Character.
The true Christian character Of Ste
bold defense of the truth, his ability
to see heavenly things, the appearance
of his face, like the face OF an angel,
his lack of vindictiveness (he prayed
Lord lay not this sin to their
charge.") and his readiness to go into
heaven Che said: Lord, Jesus, receive
my spirit.D It will be seen that the
dying prayer of Stephen was like that
of Jesus when he prayer for his perse-
cutors and in His prayer commencing
His own soul to God
The Misguided 0ppOser.
The garments Of those stoning Ste
phen we're laid at the feet of the young
man SAUL, who, too, was gladly con-
senting to his death. Saul tells us
he thought he was then doing Gods
will. There may have been others,
too, who we're honest in their opposi-
ton. Doubtless both Jesus and Ste
phen thought this when they prayer
for their prosecutors. This may be one
of the reasons Jesus urges his follow
ers to love their enemies and to pray
for those who prosecute them.
