Subject: "The Art of Friendship"—Get Your Heart Itlght With God unci Man anil This Grace Will Become Eary—Be an Kzeklel, Not a J ereuilah. TEXT: "A man that bath frietds must 6how.himself friendly."—Proverbs xvill., 24. Aboilt the snored and divine art of making and keeping friends X speak—a subject on which I never heard of anyone preaching— and yet God thought it of enough impor tance to put it in the middle of the Bible, these writings of Solomon, bounded on one side by the popular Psalms of David, and on the other by the writings of Isaiah, the greatest of the prophets. It seems all a matter of haphazard hew many friends we have, or whether we have any friends at all, but there is nothing accidental about it. There is a law which covers the accre tion and dispersion of friendships. They did not "just happen so" any more than the tides just happen to rise or fall, or the snn just happens to rise or set. It is a science, an art, a God-given regulation. Tell me how friendly you are to others, and I will tell you how friendly others are to you. I do not say you will not have enemies; indeed, the best way to get ardent friends is to have ardent enemies, if you get their enmity in doing the right thing. Good men and women will always have enemies, because their goodness Is a per petual rebuke to evil; but this antagonism of foes will make more intense the love of your adherents. Your friends will gather closer around ycu because of the attacks of your assailants. The more your enemies abuse you the better your coadjutors will think of you. The best friends we havo ever had ap peared at some juncture when we were especially bombarded. There have been times In my life when unjust assault multi plied my friends as near as I could calcu late, about fifty a minute. You are bound to some people by many cords that neither time nor eternity can break, and I will war rant that many of those cords were twisted by hands malevolent. Human nature was shipwrecked about llfty-nine centuries ago. the captain of that craft, one Adam, and his first mate running the famous cargo around on a snag in the river Hiddekel; but there was al least one good trait of human nature that waded safely ashore from that shipwreck, and that is the dispo sition to take the part of those unfairly dealt with. When It Is thoroughly demon strated that some one is being ; persecuted, although at the start slanderous tongues were busy enough, defenders finally gather around as thick as honey bees on a trellis of bruised honevsuckle. If, when set upon by the furies, you can havo grace enough to keep your mouth shut, and preserve your equipoise, and let others fight your battles, you will find yourself after awhile with a whole cordon of allies. Hud not the world given to Christ upon His arrival at Palestine a very cold shoulder, there would not have been one-half as many angels chanting glory out of the hymn books of the sky, bound In black lids of midnight. Had it not been for the heavy and jagged and tortuous Cross, Christ would not have been the ad mired and loved of more people than any being who ever touched foot on either the Eastern or Western Hemisphere. Instead, therefore, of giving up in despair because you havo enemies, rejoice in the fact that they rally for you the most helpful and en thusiastic admirer;. In other words, there is no virulence that can hinder my text from coming true: "A man that hath friends must show himself friendly." It Is my ambition to project especially upon the young a thought whloh may be nignly shape their destiny for the here and the hereafter. Before you show yourself friendly you must bo friendly. Ido not recommend a dramatized geniality. There is such a thing as pretending to be en rap port with others, when we are their dire destruotants, nnd talk against them and wish them calamity. Judas covered up his treachery by a resounding kiss, and caresses may be demonical. Better the mythological Cerberus, the three-headed dog of hell, barking at us, than the wolf in sheep's clothing, its brindled bide covered up by deceptive wool, and its deathful howl cadonced into an innocent bleating. Disraeli writes of Lord Manfred,who, after committing many outrages upon the peo ple, seemed suddenly to become friendly and invited them to a banquet. After most of the courses had been served he blew a horn, which was in those times a signal for the servants to bring on the de sert, but in this case it was the signal for assassins to enter and slay the guests. His pretended friendliness was a cruel fraud; nnd there are now people whose smile is a falsehood. Before you begin to show yourself friendly you must be friendly. Get your heart right with God and man, and this grace will become easy. You may by your own resolution get your nature Into a semblance of this virtue, but the grace of Ged can sublimely lift you Into it. Sailing on the River Thames two vessels ran aground. The owners of one got one hun dred horses, and pulled on the grounded ship, and pulied it to pieces. The owners of the other grounded vessel waited till the tides came in, and easily floated the ship out of all trouble. So we may pull and haul at our grounded human na ture, and try to get it into better condi tion; but there is nothing like the oceanic tides of God's uplifting grace. If, when under tho flash of the Holy Ghost, we see our own foibles and defects and depravi ties, we will be very lenient, and very easy with others. We will look into their sharacters for things commendatory, and not damnatory. If you would rub vour own eye a little more vigorously you would find a mote in it, the extraction of which would keep you so busy you would not have much time to shoulder your broad axe and go forth to split up the beam In your neighbor's eye. In a Christian spirit keep on exploring the characters of those you meet, and I am sure you will flnd something in them lit for a foundation oi friendliness. You Invite me to como to your country ;eat and spend a few days. Thank you! 1 nrrive about noon of a beautiful summer day. What do you? As soon as I arrive you take me out under the shadow of the great olms. You take me down to the artificial luke, the spotted trout floating in and out among the white pillars of the pond lilies. You take me to the stalls and kennelj where you keep your fine stock, and here are the Durham cattle ana the Gordon setters; and the high-stepping ?teed», by pawing and neighing, the only language they can spjak, asking for har ness or saddle, and a short turn down the road. Then we go back to the house, and you get me In the right light and show me the Kensetts and the Bierstadts on the wall, and take me into the music room and jliow me the bird-eag?s, the canaries in the bay window answering the robins in the tree-tops. Thank you! I never en joyed myself more in the same length of time. Now, why do we not do so with the characters of others, and show the bloom ind the music and the bright fountains? No. We say, "Come along, and let me •how you that man's character. Here is a *reen-scummed frog-pond, and there's a filthy cellar, and I guess under that hedge :here mu9t be a black snake. Come, and let us for an hour or two regale ourselves with the nuisances." Oh, my friends, better aover up the faults and extol the virtues; and this habit once established of universal friendliness will become as ea»y as It is for a syringa :o flood tho air with sweetness, n9 easy as :t will be further on in the season for a quail to whistle up from the grass. When rre hear something bad about somebody vhom we always supposed to be good, take >ut your lead pencil, and say; "Let me tee! Before I accept that baleful »tory that man's character, I will take }JI from It twenty-flve per cent, for the habit of exaggeration whloh belongs to th< man who flrst told the story; then I will take off twenty-flve per cent, for the addl< tlons which the spirit of gossip In ever) community has put upon the original story; then I will take off twenty-flve per cent, from the fact that the man may hav« been put into circumstances o( overpower, ing temptation. So I have taken off sev enty-five per cent. But I have not heard his side of the story all, and for that rea< son I take off the remaining twenty-flv< per cent. Excuse me, sir, I don't believe a word of it." Do not prophesy misfortune. If you must be a prophet at all, be an Ezeklel, and not a Jeremiah. In ancient times prophets who foretold evil were doing right, for they were divinely directed; but the prophets oi evil In our time are generally false proph ets. Beal troubles have no heralds running ahead of their sombre chariots, and no one has any authority in our time to announce their coming. Load yourself up with hope ful words and deeds. The hymn once sung in our churches Is unfit to be sung, for it says: We should suspect some danger near. Where we possess delight. In other words, manage to keep miser able all the time. The old song sung at the pianos a quarter of a century ago was right: "Kind words can never die." Such kind words have their nests in kind hearts, and when they are hatohed out and take wing, they circle round in flights that never cease, and sportsman's gun oannot shoot them, and 9torms cannot ruftia their wings, and when they cease flight in these lower skies of earth, they sweep around amid the high er altitudes of Heaven. At Baltimore 1 talked Into a phonograph. The cylinder containing tho words was sent onto Wash ington, and the next day that cylinder from another instrument, when turned, gavo back to me the very words I had uttered the day before, and with the same intonations. Scold Into a phono graph, and it will scold back. Pour mild words into a phonograph and it will return the gentleness. Sooiety and the world and the church are phonographs. Give them acerbity and rough treatment, and acerbity and tough treatment you will get back. Give them practical friendliness, and they will give back practical friendliness. A father asked his little daughter: "Mary, why is it that everybody loves you?" She answered: "I don't know, unless it is be. cause I love everybody." "A man that hath friends must show himself friendly." We want something like that spirit of sacrifice for others which was soeninthe English Channel, where in tho storm a boat containing three men was upset, and all three were in the water struggling for their lives. A boat came to their relief, and u rope was thrown to one of them, and he refused to take it, saying: "First fling it to Tom; he is just ready togo down. I can last some timo longer." A man like that, be ho sailor or landsman, be ho in upper ranks of society or lower ranks, will al ways have plenty of frlonds. What is true manwurd is true Godward. We must be tho friends of God if we want Him to be our friend. We cannot treat Christ badly all our lives and expect Him to treat us loving!!". I was reading of a sea fight, lu which Lord Nelson captured a French offi cer, and when tho French officer offered Lord Nelson his hand, Nelson replied, "First give me your sword, and then give me your hand." Surrender of our resis tance to God must precede God's proffer of pardon to us. Repentance before forgive ness. You must give up your 1 rebellious sword before you can got a grasp of the divine hand. Oh, what a glorious state of things to have the friendship of God! Why, we could afford to huve all the world against us and all other worlds against us if we had God for us. Ho could in a minute blot out this universe, and in another minute make a better universe. I have no idea that God tried hard when He made all things. The most brilliunt thing known to us is light, and for the creation of that He only used a word of command. As out of a flint a frontiersman strikes a spark, so out of one word God struck the noonday sun. For the making of tho present universe I do not read that God lifted ,so much as a lin ger. The Bible frequently speaks of God's hands and God's arm and God's shoulder and God's foot; then suppose He should put hand and arm and shoulder and foot to utmost tension, what could He not make? That God of such demonstrated and unde monstrated strength, you may have foi your present and everlasting friend, not a stately and reticent friend, hard to get at, but as approachable as a country mansion on a summer day, when all thu doors and windows are wide open. Christ said, "I ntn the door." And He is a wide door, n high door, a palace door, an always open door. If God is your friend, you cannot go out of the world too quickly or suddenly, so far as your own happiness is concerned. There were two Christians who entered Heaven; the one was standing at a window in per fect health, watching a shower, aud the lightning Instantly slew him; but the lightning did not flash down the sky as swiftly as hts spirit flashed upward. The Christian man who died on the same day next door had been for a year or two fail ing In health, and for the last three months had suffered from a disea.se that made the nights sleepless and the days an anguish. Do you not really think that the case of the one who went Instantly was more de sirable than the one who entered the shin ing gate through a long lane of insomnia and congestion? In the one ease it was like your standing wearily at a door, knocking and waiting, and wondering if it will ever open, and knocking and waiting again, while In the other case it was a swinging open of the door at the flrst touch of your knuckle. Give your friend ship to God, and have God's friendship for you, and even the worst accident will be a victory. How refreshing is human friendship; and true friends, what priceless treasures! When sickness comes, and trouble comes, and death comes, we send for our friends flrst of ail, and their appearance in our doorway in any crisis is reinforcement, and when they have entered, we say: "Now, it is all right!" Oh, what would we do with out personal friends, business friends, family friends? But we want something mightier than human friendship in the great exigencies. When Jonathan Ed wards, in his final hour, had given the last good-bye to all his earthly friends, he turned on his pillow and closed his eyes, confldently saying: "Now, where is Jesus of Nazareth, my true and never-failing Friend?" Yes, I admire human friendship as seen in the case of David and Jonathan, of Paul and Onesiphorus, of Herder and Goethe, of Goldsmith and Reynolds, ol Beaumont and Flotcher, of Cowley and Harvey, of Erasmas and Thomas More, of Lessing and Mendelssohn, of Lady Churchill and Prince Anne, of Orestes and Pylades, each requesting that himsell take the point of the dagger, so the other might be spared; of Epa minondus and Pelopidas, who locked their shields in battle, determined to die together; but the grandest, the mightiest, the tenderest friendship in all the universe is the friendship between Jesus Christ and a believing soul. Yet, after all I have said, I feel I have only done what James Marshall, the miner, did in 1813 in Cali fornia, before its gold mines were known. He reached in and put upon the table ol his employer, Captain Sutter, a thimbleful of gold dust. "Where did you get that?" said his employer. The reply was:"l got it this morning from a mill race from which the water had been drawn off " But fhat gold dust, which oould have been takenup between theflnger andthethumb, was the prophecy and specimen that re vealed California's wealth to all nations. And to-day I have' only put before you a specimen of the value of divine friendship, only a thimbleful of mines inexhaustible and Infinite, though ail time and all eternity goon with the exploration. The swem-potato crop this year on the Maryland and Virginia penlnsulv is esti mated at 2,000,000 barrels. A TEMPERANCE COLUMN. THE DRINK EVIL MADE MANIFEST IN MANY WAYS.

Slaves in every land have I Vain the tear and vain the sigh Of the broken-hearted wives, Grieving over ruined lives; Vain a father's hoary hairs, Vain a sister's hopes and prayers, Mother-love is even in vain To reclaim the slave again. And I listen to them ail, And I seo the tear-drops fall, But I only grimly smile, Tightening the bonds the while. Slaves in every land have I Underneath the spreading sky, From the men that humbly toil, From the men that till the soil, To the rulers high and great In the Nitlon and the State, They have bent in homage down To my kingly rank and erowu. Every way that I may turn, Slaves of mine I can discern, Sol sav, beneath the sky Slaves in every land ha vol. —D. A. JlcCartby. Device* of the Devil. The devil is always abreast of the times and adopts cunning devices to trap th« unwary. In front of saloons in nearlj svery city in the country during the wa"; he had this placard exposed: "War news Inside!" Yes, war news! The same returns thf drunkard's wife has been receiving year after year slnoo the husband enlisted in the army of inebriutes. What are the re turns? Neglect, abuse, distress, shame, despair, physical decay and spiritua' blight! Deserters from the ranks of man hood and social purity And In the saloon an abundance of war news in times o! peace. The saloon itself is the devil's arsenal. It is also the rendezvous where he mobilizes his forces for the tlnal assault upon society nnd the home. War news In the saloon represents the new recruits under King Alcohol. So lonq as the saloon exists thero will bo plenty ol "war news!" What does the devil care about our en tangleinents with foroign powers? He has no interest in our present struggle tot humanity's right beyond tho canvas walls of the damnable canteen! From It he gets his war new 9 from the front. Glorious accounts of the surrender of manhood and everything that makes life dear! Verily, these authorized dopots of hellish supplies are a disgrace and a crime against clvllizu tion. Officers feast upon luxuries pur chased with money received in exchange for whisky and beer sold their uommands while the dupes who spend their monej for drinks must content themselves with coarse rations provided by the com missary! Here is a picture to hold up be fore civilized critics. Our nation parading before the world, arrayed in the para phernalia of war, as the champion of liberty and oppressed humanity, while establishing and maintaining in our mili tary centres a traffic that is welding the chains of eternal bondage around the hopes of the flower of our country's man hood! Truly, tho devil has war news to bulletin in the saloon. But the mo9t appropriate bulletin of wai news the saloonkeeper could expose would be the picture of a drunkard's home. This would represent the storming, the assaults, the counter-charges, the all-day and all night battles with hunger and disease, forced marches to evade creditors, beg ging, plehdlng for mercy and the final surrender of hope and virtue to the over whelming forces of despair aud demoraliza tion. The drunkard's wife has no time 0/ peace in which to prepare for war. It is for her one continued struggle against poverty aud the demon sent against the home day after day from the devil's head quarters in the saloon. An hour in the police court in a large city will convince anyone that there is "war news" inside the saloon, the echoes of which resound through the dork corridors of the prison and the grave, and whose duplicate bulletins hang UDOD the plctureless walls of the cheorless quarters the saloonkeeper has robbed of the name of home.—Zion's Outlook. The Temperance Movement a Preventive The temperance movement at the present time is both reformatory and preventive reformatory Inasmuch as it seeks to re claim from the control of drunkennoss those who have fallen Into that abhorrent vice; and preventive in that it endeavor! l to preserve as total abstainers those whe have not, as yet. yielded to the seductions of liquor. Much attention was at one time given to the reformatory pliuse of the question; but Erevention being, according to the adage, etter than cure, the work of temperance organizations now seems to be mainly directed towards enlisting in the cause boys and girls a«d men and women who have never tnsted liquor. This does not imply, however, a lack or loss of Interest in the work of inducing drunkards to give up their evil habit, but it shows that th« temperance workers have learned from ex perience that the main hope of the move ment is in the young, and in those who have never forged even the first link of u chain that binds so many. It is the aim of the temperance movement to draw within the sphere of its influence all such abstainers, and to so instruct and guide them that tbey will remain free from the taint of the liquor habit through their lives, being thereby examples of sobriety and clean living to all. And while eagerly weleoming into the various temperance organizations those who desire to amend their lives, as regards drinking to excess, it is as a preventive that the temperance movement will achieve its greatest success. —Sacred Heart Review. Heroen Who Don't Drink. The reaent brilliant English victory in the Soudan was won by a force composed exclusively of total abstainers. For months Sir Herbert Kitchener has denied all liquoi to his troops, with the result that, In on« of the deadliest of climates, no army has ever had so little sickness, been in such magnificent physical and moral training, or won hard fought battles after forced marches of such extraordinary charaoter. No wonder that the total abstinence prin cipal In warfare is being pondered bv mill tary authorities throughout the world. The War on Hum. If a young man has the love of drink and does not give It up, the chances are a hundred to one against him. He will gc on little bv little, and he will find at last h< has got his master. If we are to have a happy and prosper ous commonwealth, we must keep the do mestic life pure and strong. Drunkenness is one of the greatest curses of the domes tic life of the people. Statistics show a very close connection between poverty and saloons, A recent number of an English publication assert* that in the poorest district in London then is one saloon to each 136 of population, 01 eighty salopm to 11,090 of population. _ • A New Torpedo Net. As a protection against the action ~>t torpedoes onr warships were pro vided with -wire-netting shields, or crinolines, which can be expanded by spars so as to form a wall around the vessel's sides. Upon which some in genious inventer gave the traveling fish-shaped destroyer a catting im plement at its head which could pene trate the wire screen. A new form of crinoline has now been introduced which possesses a mesh of such con struction that it cannot be pierced. But the invention probably comes too late; for if any lesson is to be learned from recent events, it is that the tor pedo in naval warfare is of suoh sec ondary importance that it may be al most neglected altogether. We have (earned lately that fighting ships armed with modern guns need not get to close quarters to work terrible de struction upon one another. A couple of miles separating the attacking ves sel aud that with which she is en gaged is regarded as a near range; and no torpedo is effective at a quar ter of that distance. Quick-firing guns and accurate marksmanship are the far more important items to at tend to, and American perfection in both these respects has really de termined the issue in the present war. —Chambers's Magazine. An Oak Tree 10.000 Years Old. An extraordinary discovery, and one which is just now exciting con siderable interest in antiquarian circles in Lancashire and Cheshire, has been made at Stockport. During the excavation of sewage works for the town some workmen came across what has since proved to be a massive oak tree, with two immense branches. Professor Boyd Daw-kins, the well known antiquary, is of opinion that the tree is one of the giants of pre historic times, and he says that the tree is certainly 10,000 years old. The corporation of Stockport is at a loss what to do with the gigantic fossil, which is supposed to weigh about forty tons.—London News. TnlTeftt Race In the World. The Tehuelches—as they call them selves—of southern and eastern Pata gonia, are the tallest human beings in the world, the men averaging but slightly less than six feet, while indi viduals of four to six inches above that mark are not uncommon.
