*‘My mother was troubled with
consumption for many years. At
last she was given up to die. Then
she tried Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral,
and was speedily cured.”
B. P. Jolly, Avoca, N. Y.
No matter how hard
your cough or how long
you have had it, Ayers
Che Pectoral is the
Boe Ting you can take.
It's too risky to wait
until you have consump-

today, get a bottle o
Cherry Pectoral at once.

Consult your doctor. If he says take It,

THE GRACE OF COURTESY.
Dr. Talmage Says Christian Thoughtful
ness is Born in the Heart by the
Power of the Holy Ghost,
Shows How Such a Benignant Spirit May
Be Festered.
WasniNvaron, D. C.—In this discourse
Dr. Talmage urges thoughtfulness for oth-
irs, and shows how such a benignant spirit
hay be fostered; text, I Peter ii, 8, “Be
jourteous.”
In an age when bluntness has been ca-
nonized as a virtue it may be useful to ex-
tol one of the most beautiful of all the
royal family of graces—courtesy. It is
graciousness, deference to the wishes of
others, good manners, affability, willing-
ness to deny ourselves somewhat for the
advantage of others, urbanity. But what
is the use of my defining the grace of cour:
tesy when we all know ro well what it is?
The botanist might say some very inter-
esting things about a rose, and the chem-
ist might discourse about water or light,
but without ever seeing a botanist or a
chemist we know what a rose is and what
water and light are. Do not take our time
in telling us what courtesy is. Only show
us how we may get more of it and avoid
what are its counterfeits. Mark you, it
cannot be put on or dramatized sucess
fully for a long while. We may be full of
bows and genufiections, and smiles and
complimentary phrase, and have nothing
of genuine courtesy either in our make-up
or in our demeanor. A backswoodsman
who never saw a drawing room or a danec-
ing master or a caterer or a fold of drap-
while one born under richest upholstery
and educated in foreign schools, and both-
ered to know which of ten garments he
will take from & royal wardrobe, may be
as barren of the spirit of courtesy as the
great Sahara desert is of green meadows
Christian courtesy is born in the heart
by the power of the Holy Ghost, who has
transformed and illumined and glorified
one's nature. Mark you, I am speaking
of the highest kind of courtesy, which is
Christian courtesy. Something like it—or-
dinary politeness—may grow up with us
under the direction of intelligent and
watchful parentage, but I am not speaking
of that h is merely agreeableness of
on and behavior. All that may
of tutelage and fine surround-
1 itself in lifting the hat to
passers-by and in a graceful way of asking
about i and sending the right
kind of acceptance when you cannot go
and understanding all the laws of prefer
ence § le and parlor door, all of which
is well, aking of a principle of
courtesy so implanted in one’s nature that

ing lazerettos, attired in vermillion and

of heaven. As far as possible are they re
moved from all genuine courtesy
I like what John Wesley said to a man
when their carriages met on the road
The rofflan, knowing Mr. Wesley and dis-
liking him. did not turn out, but kept the
middle of the road. Mr. Wesley cheerinlly
gave the man all the road, himself riding
into the ditch. As they passed each other
the ruffian said, “I never turn ont for
foole,” and Mr. Wesley said, “I always
do.” I like the reproof which a Chinaman
in San Francisco gave an American. The
American pushed him off the sidewalk
until he fell into the mud. The Chinaman
on rising began to brush off the mud and
said to the American: “You Christian; me
heathen. Good-bye.” A stranger entered
a church in one of the cities and was al
fowed to stand a long while, although there
was plenty of room. No one offered a seat,
The stranger after awhile sid to one of
the brethren, “What church is thie?” The
answer was, “Christ's church, sir.”
He in?" said the stranger. .
the church understood what was meant
and gave him a seat. We want more cour
tesy in places of business, more courtesy
in our homes.
But heart courtesy must precede hand
and head and foot courtesy. Cultivation
of it should begin in the father’s house.

who ought to be chastised, but never let
us allow the opportunity of applauding
good deeds pass unimproved,
There ¢ je two sides to every man's char-
ncter—a good side and an evil side. The
good see only the good and the evil only
the evil, and the probability is that a me-
dium opinion is the right opinion. Most
of the people whom know are doing
about as well as they can under the cir-
cumstances. When 1 see people who are
worse than I am, 1 COT that if I had
the game bad influences around me all my
life that they have had I would probably
have been worse than they now are. The
work of reform is the most important
work, but many of the reformers, dwell
ing on one evil, see nothing but evil, and
they get so used to anathema they forget
the usefulness once in awhile of a benedic-
tion. They get so accustomed to excor-
iating public men that they do not realize
that never since John Hancock in boldest
chirography signed the Declaration of In-
dependence, never since Columbus picked
up the floating land flowers that ved
him he was coming near some new coun-
try, have there been so many noble and
splendid and Christian men in high places
in this country as now. You could go into
the President's Cabinet or the United
States Senate or the House of Representa-
tives in this city and find plenty of men
capable of holding an old fashioned Metho-
dist prayer meeting, plenty of Senators
and Representatives and Cabinet officers
to start the tune and foes] with the pen-
itents at the altar. In all these places
there are men who could, without looking
at the book, recite the sublime words, as
did Gladstone during vacation at Hawar-
den. “I believe in God, the Father Al-
mighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and
in Jesus Christ,” and from the Senate and
House of Representatives and the Presi
dential Cabinet and from the surrounding
offies and committee rooms, if they could
hear, would come many voices responding
“Amen and amen!”
Christian courtesy 1 especially commend
to those who have subordi: Almost
every person has some one under him. How
do vou treat that clerk, that servant, that
assistant, that employe? Do you accost
him in brusque termes and roughly command
him to do that which you might kindly
ask him to do? The first words that the
Duke of Wellington uttered were, “If you
please.” That conqueror in what was in
some respects the greatest battle ever
fought in his last hours, asked by his ser
vant if he would take tea, replied,
“If 'you please,” his last words an expres

What a mighty means of uselalness is
courtesy! The lack of it brings to many a
dead failure, while before those who pos-
gess it in large quantity all the doors of
opportunity are open. You ean tell that
urbanity does not come from
books of etiquette, although such books
have their use, but from a mind full of
thoughtfulness for others and a heart in
sympathy with the conditions of others
If those conditions be prosperous, a
gladness for the success, or if the condi
tions be depressing, a sorrow for the
favorable circumstances. Ah, this
