"NO X 15 OF US MVI5TII TO II I.MSI5I.F."
Dr. lliiiitliiKton HoIiIn I'ii I'iihcI IImIi
iii'nx a the Ciirilliinl Virtue,
Tho pulpit of tho Walnut Hill Methodist
church was occupied Sunday morning by
1). W. C. Huntington, I). I)., chancellor of
tho Nebraska Wesleyan university, who held
up unselflshneEH ns tho true test of Christian
ity. 1 1 In text wan tnken from the words of
Paul, "For nono of us llvcth to himself."
Tho speaker threw a Bomewhat different
meaning Into tho phraso from that disclosed
on a casual reading.
"Tho olement of unselfishness, of self-sacrifice,
Ifl tho distinguishing mnrk of tho
Christian," said Dr. Huntington. "Whin
Paul said, 'For nono of tut llvcth to himself
he did not mean to Include tho self-seeking
ngo in which he lived. Tho emphasis should
rent on tho word 'us;' It wns the little nj
ecmbly of Chrlotlnns to whom this single
trait was peculiar. TIicto was a Jewlah
and a Gontllo element In tho church which
bade fuir to rent It asunder. Paul, a great
man of two ages, observed that tho Gimtllcs
looked nskanco at tho formalities practiced
by tho Jows and that tho latter regarded
tho Gentiles as without tho luw. His was the
reconciling hand that brought them to
gether; ho urged each ono to follow tho
way that seemed to him right and allow the
samo privilege to hlo neighbor.
"UnlofH Paul's, words nro carried out and
professors of Christianity glvo themselves
for tho pleasure and profit of others It l
Imposslblo for thorn to bo Chrlstlano under
tho new testament. TheTo Is a selfish In
stinct In rami which begins with his infancy
and, unless thero Is a voluntary change, ex
tends into manhood. The passion of self
gratification llio beneath almost every
crlmo in tho criminal code. Thero Is even
n typo of religion which Is no better than
solflshness, There aro many professors of
Christianity who enter tho church simply
that they may get something out of God.
It Is a matter, of business, of Insurance
pgalnK tho horeafter. Such professora
havo no real Christianity and will never
have until they realize that the religion of
Jesus la made up of giving, not tiettlug."

WONDERFUL RESULTS.
Peoplo Tell What Has
Been Done for Them.
The Testimony of Well Known
Citizens Ought Surely to
Convince You.
If wo publish tho recommendation of soma
person In Omaha who has used Morrow'i
Kld-no-olds for backacbo and kidney disor
ders, and hua been cured, you have no rea
son to doubt. We give you tho names of
peoplo living right here In this city, so you
can consult them. We mako no false state
ments nor claims for Kld-ne-olds, but glv
you tho cvldenco of people whom you know.
If Kld-ne-olds did not do as wo claim they
do, peopfe would not give tholr testimony.
Here li what Mrs. T. H. Williamson, 717
South 17th streot, says: "My little boy had
a severe attack of whooping cough somo
time go, nnd after recovering from this
dleenso I found that Ii la kidneys wero weak
for bo could not retain his urine and bed
wetting occurred nightly, I gave him kid
noy remedies of different kinds, but I did
not notice any change in his condition until
I gave him Morrow's KU-no-olds. I discov
ered a decided chango In his condition In
a few days, and he la almost relieved en
tirely of his troubles, I will contlnuo to
glvo htm Morrow's Kld-ne-olds In order to
effect a compreto cure."
Morrow's Kld-ne-olds are not pills, but
Yellow Tablets and sell at fifty cents a
box at all drug stores and at the Myers
Dillon Drug Co.'s store.
