Kidney Troubles, no matter of what kind or what stage of the disease, can be quickly and permanently cured by the use of these wonderful pills. Mr. Joseph ~Eetand, Alma, N.W.T., recommends them to all kidney trouble sufferers, when he says:--I was troubled with dull head- aches, had frightful dreams, terrible pains in my legs and a frequent desire to urinate. Noticing DOAN'S KIDNEY PILLS recommended for just such gnnoy- ances as mine, it occurred to me to give them a trial, so I procured a box of them, and was. very much surprised at the effectual cure they made. I take a great deal of pleasure in recommending them to all kidney trouble sufferers. i Price 50¢. per box, or 3 for $1.25; all . dealers or The Doan Kidney Pill Co., Toronto, Ont.

Bishop At St. James'. Yesterday afternoon His Lordship, the Bishop of Ontario, addressed the children of St. James' Sunday school. In the sacred edifice gathered about three hundred and fifty scholars, a large number of parents and friends being also present. As the clergy en- tered, the hymn, "While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks by Night," was sung. The address was eloquent and appealed to all that was good, in childhood, the first text being.' the fifth verse of the fifteenth chapter of St. John: "I am the vine, ve are the branches." The Lord, Himself, those words, and meant that the little {children were branches of Him. The | love of Jesus for little ones was mani i fest throughout His earthly life; "had He not blessed them and said, *'Sulier spoke little children to come unto Me?" When a child is baptized it is forever encrafted in our Lord Jesus Christ, Secondly, the bishop took as his text the fifteenth verse of the second chap | ter of the song of Solomon : "Take ns little that foxes, | the foxes, the spoil the vines: for onr vines have tender grapes." The wise man, Solomon, had reference to the little sins of child hood life; first, the slang, that was la little fox, and, nd&t, a swear, that | was also a little fox or sin.

The Scotsinan. fhe author of "Nearer, My God, to Thee," was a woman, Sarah Flower Adams: She was an English woman; born in the little village of Harlow. in the year 1505. Though there are not many at this dav w ho have ever heard of ber, she won no small am ount of fame as a poet and writer during her lite, and for many years aiter her memory was cherished hy the literary world of London. : was Nobert Browning's fast love. 1t was to her alone of all his friends that he showed the first vol ume of poems, and it is said to have | heen through efforts that his po | ems were published and given to the world. She was a Unitarian "and a member of the congregation of William John son Fox. the noted Unitarian preach- | er of London. Because of the fact that | she belonged to this denomination | there were a number of churches, es- | pecially the Methodist and Baptist, | that refused include for n years, "Nearer, My God, to Thee. their hymnals. A Unitarian was garded as a heretic, if not an infidel, and it was pointed out that the hymn contained no reference to Christ. The written in the RoE LEN to re 3 was vear d set to music by Eliza Flower, an Jdder sister of the author. In addition to his religious work, Rev. Mr. Fox also edited a literary magazine, to which Sarah was a fre quent contributor. She became much intércsted in the writings of a contri butor who signed shimseli, *'Junius Redivivus." She did not know who he was, but she took occasion to ad- dress a note to him in care of the magazine,expressing her admiration of his work. he signed this with her nom de guerre, *S.Y.." which repre- sented her pet name of Sally. Without revealing his identity, "Ju- pius Redivivus" replied, acknowledg- ing her courtesy and returning the compliment with some commendatory criticism of the work of '#.Y." This led to further correspondence on to pics of mutual literary interest until there was established © between the two unknown writers a cordial friend- and understanding, while Miss Flower's admiration for her masked charmer found addetl justification in his delightful and scholarly letters. This was in the year 1833. Miss Flower was then twentv-cight years old. and it was during that vear that he met Mr. Adams, her future hus hand. He was a civil engineer and a man of eminent attainments as a scl entist and a scholar. An instant at- tachment sprang up between him and Mists Flower and during the engages ment which speedily foliowed, she was surprised and more than delighted to discover that the choice of her heart was none other than "Junius Redivi- ship vus." They were married within a vear af- tor their engagement, and the marr age proved to be. in jovs and comradeship, all that their fond hearts | had anticipated. | i | | | its its For many vears it had been Mrs Adams' ambition to go on the stage.

When Dr. Bell stated that the fire and licht committee of this year would have the smallest controllable expendi- ture of any like committee during the past four he stated exactly what is corroborated by the city treas- urer. For the benefit of anv who may not know the nieaning of *'controli- able expenditure" let me state that calaries are not under the control of this committee, but must be paid without comment or Jaduction, while the controllable items ave such as hay, clothes, horses, chemicals and of other things, which the comuuttee are able to resulate by careful judg- vears, dozens ment.

But, dear reader, 1 shall not con fine vou to mere suppositions; what does our city treasurer say? What are the actual figures for controllable diture during these years? Let me tell ou: 1 have his written statement lving on the table before me anil quote from it: In 180, 835, 32; 1900, 82, 1901, [2.6 1902, &2 INT. --showing us conclusively that the committee of this year actually expended less than anv like committee jor thd past four years!
