Church Othor News Notes,
Rev. D. D. Hopkins, pastor of tho
First Welsh Baptist church, preached
One of his characteristic English ser
mons to a large congregation yester
day morning on "Tho Conditions of
iur Spiritual Success." Ills text was
taken from James, 1:2-4, "My breth
ren, count It all Joy when ye fall Into
divers temptations; knowing this, that
xho trying of your faith worketh pa
tience. But let patience have her per
fect work, that ye may bo perfect and
entire, wanting nothing." ltev. Hop
kins spoke, In part, ns follows:
The apostle knew tli.it tin irnspul they
"(reached was dhlncly ndiptcd to the mods of
.lie human Foul. They knew because Christ lived
in them. In the gospel' nc ''"c the history
of Jcsiu Christ a picture of Illm a, Ho ap.
pcand hefore men. In the Acts and l.plstles we
hue the Christ ill the history of the church.
Chilst mcillnjr hlmrelf In the life of believ
ers. So the apostles hid the knowledge of Christ
breame thej hid tho itpcriciice of lojal and
const linllous men.
And curj Chrlslian knows that the principle,
of ChiMlanity lire illWnely adapted to tho
Fpirituil needs of humanity bcciuc be Ins
tiled them. When wc lake into eomlderatlnn tho
alue of the Knowledge of ep(ricn(p wc can
en?lly account for the seeming contradiction in
the words of our tet. The nnthor MJs, "Count
II all Joj. my brethren, whin jc fall into mini
fold limi't ltirili."
Those wcrdi apart from tho bitter put of our
text contradict the testinirm of our feelings
because tbeie is nothing plealiic in tcmpM
tlom to the Icinptiil. But tin word "Knowliu"
that tie pioof of jour f.ilth worketh pitlcncc."
The link, that .connect tho words "joy," "tnnp
tntlons" nnd "perfect," suggest to us tho con
ditions of our splrltml development.
'lhe word "Knowirg" irmvijs the idei of our
nieces in life; not as .1 mire possibility but
as a certainty, There Is not cicn a slndow of
doubt a to the final triumph or letory of hi-n
who llws in Christ. Doubt is a point midway
bdwten tho knowing end the not knotting; and
the doubter Is lo that knows not which direc
tion ti take; he niilhtes like the pendulum
fiom me point to the other.
Hut there Is no room for doubt in the mind of
the man tint has a life of esjtiorlfjiro In the
work of Chrl-t. Ai.il the reason for the words of

ol human mlrdi the titter will eventually re
main with what It best," That statement must
be true, bceaiso man, by means of his scien
tific Investigations will tome day discover the
great fact which Is the basis of everything ex
isting. It Is true also In the spiritual world.
Tho origin of mm whence he came, is not of
prime Importance! tut when looking into the
endless future, we cannot but ask the question
What will my history be theret
The only answer that cin be Kite" to that
question Is My character todiy Is the only in
elit to my future. If lny character will change
then the nature of my future must of necessity
change. So if we want to be perfect In char
acter we must eicielso oursehts In that direr
tlon, because spiritual development comes by
battle; we must light our way to perfection. To
Illustrate) this, ibc drunkard must say "So" to
every temptation before he can he n sober mm.
Before we tan attain pirfectlon In charaeter,
wo must possess the faith that can turn even
the trials of life to our spiritual ndtantazr.
Taul said to Timothy, "Kxerclsc thjself unto
Godliness"; work thjself into tint life which
ends In glory. He could not be a strong man
apart from cserclse. So It Is In our text, tho
trial of faith worketh patience; it makes a man
strong In Christian virtues and brings him nearer
day after day to perfection, which Is the goal
of the Christian life.

In my back for two years bothered me
a gioat deal at night, nnd tho con
stant stinging mailo mo so nervous
that I coultl not sleep for hours. If I
turned In bed a cramp-llko pain caught
me In tho small of my back and It
was something terrible. In tho morn
ing my back felt lame and sore and
so weak that It would hardly support
my body. I felt tired and languid and
had little ambition to do any work. I
saw Doan's Kidney Pills advertised
and so highly recommended that I got
a box at Matthew Bros.' drug store.
After the treatment I slept well nights,
had more ambition when doing my
house work, and seldom felt any pain
