The kidneys should receive some u.
sistance when needed. We take less ex.

more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing
the kidneys to do more work than nature
intended. Evidence Of kidney trouble,
such a. lame back, annoying bladder
troubles, smarting or burning, brick.
dust or sediment, sallow complexion,
rheumatism, maybe weak or irregular
heart action, warns you that your kid
neys require help Immediately to avoid
more serious trouble.

While evangelist Argus Hamilton
was preaching a sermon at Ysleta
Sunday night in the tent in which ne

throughout the game. So we begin
the Christian life b. putting on the
uniform Of faith. and We wear the
uniform throughout the game OF lie
Faith is elemental and fundamental
BY faith we reach first base in re-
pentance- by faith We reach second
base in confession, and by faith We
reach third base in Christian baptism.
Then begins the struggle in the Chris
/ tian life TO reach home or cross the
home plate. so by faith We fight and
conquer for God
The game Of baseball is under tn Z
absolute control OF the umpire his
decisions are final but he must give
his decisions according TO the rules
Christ is the umpire of the Chris
tian life and from His decisions there
Is no appeal
IN game of ball no player is al
lowed to cut the bases, if he cuts
them he is ont. He must touch every
base and his run only counts when
he crosses the home plate In the
Christian life the player must touch
the three bases. and even then ms
salvation is only assured by doing
Gods will
s'Many ball player has made a
base hit and died on first. or three
bagger and died on third His run
does not count because he did not
reach home
Many a man has accepted Christ
and taken his place in the church, q
contender for eternal lie but sadly
died and was lost because he did not
live the life Of a true Christian and
failed to reach home or Heaven.
NO man can be saved by joining
