The Higher Athletics.

Dt M'Hardy, Congregational minister of Kirkcaldie, Scotland, in lecturing on ♦ The Higher Athletics,' said come very p-e^nant fchmga ;—-Behind every remark -1 %b\® accomplishments attained by man there lay a great deal of resolute training anpercelved by the general eye. In the marvellous feats of the gymnast, the skilful playing of a first rate musician, the clever calculations of the expert man of business, they saw the effect of deliberate and persistent training of the powers brought into play, and so, iihen they aaw a person resisting a great temptation, and corning through it unblemished, or rising so completely above an old weakness that all traces of it seemed gone, or showtog a calm, chastened bearing in the midst ot trouble and reverse, they might depend upon it that person had been schooling himself iv secret in the higher vlr aaa. To be of real value, however, that athletic training of the soul in goodness most be pursued with a clear and definite aim—that was to pay, they most set distinctly before themselves the particular virtue they wished to cultivate, the particular deficiency tney wished to surmount. Every morning, when they got up and faced the worry and friction of the day, they must settle with their own heart to be on their guard, and make a deliberate effort to keep their Irritability down, determining beforehand to take this one's overbearlngs or that one'a cantankerousness, or a third one's stupld i y with as resolute a patience as possible, and for God's sake and Christ's Hake to hold themselves in when the provocation was felts

A resident in Tancred Street, West, Ashbnrion, says—' My son has had a goofJ de-1 of trouble with pains in the back above the ioios. He had to wear a fhnnel belt in fact, that giving him the most relief until be tried Doan'a Backache Kidney Pills. We got these at the Ashbnrton Drug Go's In JEaet StreetjSome mon'hs ago.
