DK. TALMAGFS SERMON. SUNDAY'S DISCOURSE BY THE NOTED DIVINE. Subject: "The Art of Friendship"—Get Your Heart Itljglit With God and Man and This Grace Will Become ISary—lie an Kzeklel, Mot a Jeremiah. TEXT: "A man that hath frieuls must show.himself friendly."—Proverbs xvlii., 24. About the sacred and divine art of making and keeping friends I speak—a subject on which I never heard of anyone preaching— und 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 papular Psalms of David, and on the other by the writings of Isaiah, the greatest of the prophets. It seems all a ■natter of haphazard how many friends we have, or whether we have any friends at all, but there Is nothing accidental atout 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 sun just happens tb 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 ecmity 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 ycur adherents. Your friends will gather closer around you because of the attacks of your assailants. The more your enemies abuse you the better your coadjutors will think of you. The best frlenus we have ever had ap peared at some juncture whon 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 fifty-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 tho start slanderous tongues were busy enough, defenders finally gather around as thick as honey bees on a trellis of bruised houevsuckle. If, when set upon by the furies, you can have gruce 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. Had 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 elthet the Eastern or Western Hemisphere. Instead, therefore, of giving up in despair because you have enemies, rejoice in tho fact that they rally for you the most helpful and en thusiastic adm'irerc. 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 tho young a thought which may be uignly shape their destiny for tho hero and the hereafter. Before you show yourself friendly you must be friendly. Ido not recommend a dramatized geniality. There is such a thing as pretending to be en rap port with others, when wo are their dire destructants, and 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 boll, barking at us. than the wolf in sheep's clothing, its brindled hide covered up by deceptive wool, and its deathful howl cadenced 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; and 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 grac6 will become easy. You may by your own resolution get your nature into a semblance of this virtue, but the grace of God can sublimely lift you into it. Sailing on the Biver Thames two vessels ran aground. The owners of ono got one hun dred horses, and pulled on the grounded ship, and puHed 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 oceanlo tides of God's uplifting grace. If, when under the 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 aharacters for things commendatory, and not damnatory. If you would rub your 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 And something in them lit for a foundation of friendliness. You invite me to come to vour country /eat and spend a few days. Thank you I 1 arrive 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 elms. You take me down to the artificial lake, the spotted trout floating in and out among the white pillurs of the pond lilies. You take me to the stalls and kennel? where you keep your fine stock, and here are the Durham cattle and the Gordon setters: and the high-stepping steeds, by pawing and neighing, the only language they can spoak, 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 Blerstadts on the wall, and take me into the music room and show me the bird-cages, the canaries 1n the bay wiudow answering the robins in fbe tree-tops. Thank youl I never en loyed 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 ihowVou that man's character. Here is a ?reen-scummed frog-pond, and there's a filthy cellar, and I guess under that hedge :here must 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 .'autts 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 the air with sweetness, as easy as !t will be further on in the season for a quail to whistle up from the grass. When we hear something bad about somebody whom we always supposed to be good, take jut your lead pencil, and say: "Let me lee! Before I accept that baleful »tory ivrainst that man's character, I will take >ff from It twenty-five pet cent, for the habit of exaggeration which belongs to th« man who first told the story; then I will take off twenty-five per cent, for the addl* tions which the spirit of gossip in ever) community has put upon the original story; then I will take off twenty-five per cent, from the fact that the man may have been put Into circumstances of overpower, lng temptation. So I have taken off sev. enty-five per cent. But I have not heard hls side of the story all, and for that rea. sonltakeofT the remaining twenty-flv« per cent. Excuse me, sir, I don't believe ■ word of It." Do not prophesy misfortune. If you must bo 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 of 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 bo sung, for it says: W« should suspect some danger near. Where we possess delight. In other words, manage to keep miser able all the time. The old song sang 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 wheu they are hatched out and take wing, they circle round In flights that never cease, and sportsman's gun cannot shoot them, and storms cannot ruflls their wings, ana when they cease flight In these lower skies of earth, they Weep around amid the high er altitudes of Heaven. At Baltimore I talked into a phonograph. Tho cylinder containing the words was sent onto Wash ington, and the next day that cylinder from another Jphonographic instrument, when turned, gave back to ma 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 tho gentleness. Society 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?" Sha 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 seen In the English Channel, Therein the storm a boat containing three men was upset, and all three were In tho water struggling for their lives. A boat came to their relief, and a ropo 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 time longer." A man like that, be he sailor or landsman, be he In upper ranks of society or lower ranks, will al ways have plenty of friends. What Is true manward Is true Godward. We must be tho friends of God if wo wantHiinto bo our friend. We cannot troat Christ badly all our lives and expect Him to treat us lovingly. I was reading of a sea fight, in which Lord Nelson captured a French offi cer, and when the 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 rebellious sword before you can get a grasp 1 of the divine hand. Oh, what a glorious state of things to have the friendship of Godl Why, we could afford to have all the world against us and all other worlds against us if we had God for us. He 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 brilliant 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 tho making of the preseni universe I do not read that God lifted so much as a fin 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 oould He not make? That God of such demonstrated and uudo monstrated strength, you may have for your present and everlasting friend, not u stately and reticent friend, hard to get at, but as approaohuble as a oountry mansion on a summer day, when all tho doors and windows are wide open. Christ said, "I am the door." And He Is a wide door, a high door, a palace door, an always open door. If God la 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, and the lightning Instantly slew him; but the lightning did not flash down the sky as swiftly as his spirit flashed upward. The Christian mau 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 disease 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 aud congestion? In the one case 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 first 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 treasuresl When sickness comes, and trouble comes, and death comes, we send for our friends flrst of all, 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 olosed his eyes, confidently 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 Oneslphorus, of Herder and Goethe, of Goldsmith and Reynolds, of Beaumont and Fletcher, of Oowley and Harvey, of Erasmas and Thomas More, of Leasing and Mendelssohn, of Lady Churchill and Prince Anne, of Orestes and Pylades, each requesting that himselt take the point of the dagger, so the other might be spared; of Epa mlnondas 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 1843 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 rabe from which the water had been drawn off " Bui that gold dust, which could have been taken up between the finger 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 all time and all eternity goon with the exploration. The sweoi-potmto crop this year on the Maryland and Virginia peniasulv is esti mated at 2,000,000 barrels. K TEMPERANCE COLUMN. THE DRINK EVIL MADE MANIFEST IN MANY WAYS.

The devil is always abreast of the time? and adopts cunning devices to trap thf unwary. In front of saloons in nearly Bvery city in tbe oountry during the wa'i he had this placard exposed: "War newf inside!" Yes, war news! The same returns th» drunkard's wife has been receiving yeai after year elnce the husband enlisted iD the army of inebriates. Wlvat are the re turns? Neglect, abuse, distress, shame, despair, physical decay and spirltua' blight! Deserters from the ranks of man hood and social purity find in the saloon an abundance of war news in times of peace. Tbe saloon itself is the devil's arsenal. It is also the rendezvous where he mobilizes his forces for the ttnai assault upon society and the home. War news in the saloon represents the new recruits under King Alcohol. So long as the saloon exists there will be plenty ol "war news!" What does the devil care about our en tanglements with foreign powers? He has no interest in our present struggle foi humanity's right beyond the canvus walla of the damnuble canteen! From it he gets his war news from the front. Glorioui accounts of the surrender of manhood and everything that makes life dear! Verily, these authorized depots of hellish supplies are a disgrace and a crime against civiliza tion. Officers feast upon luxuries pur chased with money received in exchange for whisky and beer sold their commands while the dupes who spend their money for drinks must content themselves with coarse rations provided by the com missary! Here Is a picture to hold up be fore civilized critlos. Our nation parading before the world, arrayed in the para phernalia of war, as the champion ol 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, the devil has war news to bulletin in the suloon. But the most 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, foroed marches to evade creditors, beg ging, pleading for mercy and the flna! surronder of hope and virtue to the over whelming forces of despair and demoraliza tion. The drunkard's wife has no time ol peace in which to prepare for war. It 1» for her one continued struggle agalnsl Koverty and the demon seut against th( ome 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 it "war news" inside the saloon, the echoes of which resound through the dark corridors of the prison and the grave, and whose duplicate bulletins hang upon the pictureless walls of the cheerless quarters the saloonkeeper has robbed of the name of home.—Zlon'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 drunkennes; those who have fallen into that abhorrent vice; and preventive in that It endeavor? to preserve as total abstainers those who have not, as yet, yielded to the seduction; of liquor. Much attention was at one time given tc the reformatory phase of the question; but prevention being, according to the adage, better than cure, the work of temperance organizations now seems to be mainly directed towards enlisting in the cause boys and girls and 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 the 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 a 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 they 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 welcoming Into the various temperance organizations those who desire to amend their lives, as regards drinking to excess, it is as a preventive that the teraperancv movement will achieve its greatest success. —Sacred Heart Review. Heroea Wlio Don't Drink. The recent brilliant English victory in the Soudan was won by • force composed exclusively of total abstainers. For months Sir Herbert Kitchener has denied all Uquot to his troops, with the result that. In one 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 character. No wonder that the total abstinence prin cipal in warfare is being pondered by mili tary authorities throughout tho world. The War on Kuin. If a young man has the love of drink and does not give it up, the chanoes are a hundred to one against him. He will gc on little by 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 reoent number of an English publication assert* that in the poorest district In London then Is one saloon to eaoh IS6 of population, 01 eighty saloons to 11,090 of population. _ A New Torpedo Met. As a protection against the aotion of torpedoes onr warships were pro vided with wire-netting Bhields, or srinolines, 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 cutting im plement at its head which oould pene trate the wire screen. A new form of tsrinoline has now been introduced nrhich 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 such sec ondary importance that it may be al most neglected altogether. We have learned 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 and 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 Dawkins, 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. Tallest Knee In the World.

While putting some weather boards on a barn, standing on a scaffold twenty-two feet from the ground, he felt dizzy, lost his balance and fell to the ground. The side of his face, arm and one entire side of his body, on whioh he struck,were badly bruised. Picked up and carried to the house, he was under a doctor's care for sev eral weeks. The doctor finally came to the conclusion that his patient had received a fa.-. stroke of par aly si sand '■> -*• was beyond P medical aid. He could not use one arm, One day, while lying on the bed, case some thing like his having been cured with Paralyzed by the Fall. for Tale People. He coaxed his grand daughter to get him a box of the pills. After that box had been used he secured another. In three weeks he began to feel H little life in his arm; at the end ot four he could move his fingers; at the end of two months he could walk, and In three months he could shave himself with the Injured hand. As he told his story in the Herald office, he looked the perfect picture of health. He carries a box ot the pills in his poeket, and whenever he does not feel just right he takes them.
