THE GRACE J)F COURTESY.
Dr. Talmnsre Says Cdrislian Though If uU

Power cl the Holy Ghost.
Shows How Such a Benignant Spirit May
Be Postered.
Washi.nuto.v, 1). C In this discourse !
Dr. lalm(?e urges thought fuluua for oth-;
era, and shows how such a benignant spirit
may be fostered; text, I Vcter ii, 8, "Be
courteous."
In an nfje when bluntness lias been ca
nonized as a virtue it muy be useful to ex
tol one of the most beuutiful of all the
royal family of prunes courtesy. It is
Riaciousness. defrreune to the wishes of
other, good manners, affability, willing
ness to deny ourselves somewhat, for the
advantage of others, urbanity. Hut what
ia the use of my defining the grace of cour
tesy when wo all know so well what it iaf
The botnnist ini(;lit 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 wh.it 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 net more of it aiul 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 gemillnctions, and smiles and
complimentary phrase, anil -mve nothing
of genuine courtesy either in our make-up
or in our demeanor, A backswoodsman
who never saw a drawing room or a danc
ing master or a caterer or a fold of drap
ery may with his bis soul and hard hand
and RWKWiinl suiutution exercise the grace,
while one born under richest upholstery
and educated in foreign schools, and both
ered to know which of ten garments he
will take from n royal wardrobe, may be
as barren of the spirit of courtesy as the
great Sahara desert is of green meadows
and tossing fountains.
Christian courtesy is born in the heart
by the power of the Holy Ghost, who has
transformed and illumined and glorilied
one's nature, fnrk you, I am speaking
of the highest kind of courtesy, which is
Christian courtesy, (something like it or
dinary politeness mny grow up with us
under the direction of intelligent and
watchful parentage, but I am not speaking
of that which is merely agrceablencss of
conversation and behavior. All that may
be a matter of tulelauc and fine surround
ing and show itself in lifting the hat to
passers-by and in a graceful way of asking
about your health and sending the right
kind of acceptance when yon cannot go
and understanding all the laws of prefer
ence at table and parlor door, all of which
is well. I am speaking of a principle of
courtesy so implanted in one's nature that
bis suavity of conversation and manner
shall be the outburst of what ho feels for
the hanpincss and welfare of others, a
princinle that will work in the next world
ns wen as in 1111s, alio win ue as appro
priate in the mansions of heaven aa in
earthly dwelling places.
Now, you know ns well as I do that sonie
of the most undesirable people have been
eecniiug incarnations of courtesy. In our
enrly American history there arose a man
of won:!?'-?,,) talent, an impersonation of
all thai can charm drawing rooms and
cultivated circles. Aged men who knew
him in their yauth have told me that he
was the mnyt irresistible man they ever
met. his voice silverv. his smile bewitch
ing, his glove immaculate, his eye piercing,
his high fnrehend wreathed in curls, his
attire a fascination. He became Vice -President
of the United States and within one
vote of being President. Men threw aw.iv
I their fortunes to hep him in his political
aspirations ami 10 loiwani mm 111 u con
spiracy to overthrow the Government of
the United States, he trying to do in
America what Napoleon at that very time
was trying to do in Kurope establish a
throne fur himself. Tut he was immoral
nnd corrupt. He was thn serpent that
wound its way into many a domestic par
adise. He shot to death one of the great
est of Americans Alexander Hamilton.
The world found out long n-io before he
left it that the offender 1 speak of was an
embodiment of dissoluteness and bnse am
bition. He was the best illustration that
I know of the fact tha. a man may have
the appearance of courtesy while within he
is nil wrong.
Absalom, a llible character, was a speci
men of a man of polish outside and of rot
tenness inside. Beautiful, brilliant and
with such wealth of hair that when it was
rut in each December as n matter of nride
be had it weighed, and it weighed 200
shekels, lie captured nil who came near
him. Int. oh. what a heart he had full
of treachery and uufilial spirit and base
ness! He wa aa bad as he was alluring
and charming.
In the famous Athenian Alcibiades his
tory discourses of the same splendor of
manner covering utter depravity. Noble
pedigree, transcendent abilities, radiant
personality, eloquent tongue, triumphant
warrior, victor at Olympic games, but a
debauchee and an impersonation of all the
vices. Alas, that all up and down history
and clear on into our day there are so
many of what Christ called "wolves in
sheep's clothing" "whitewashed sepub
fliers, lull of dead men's bones and all un
cleanness!" Gilded abominations, walk
ing lazercttos, attired in vermtllion und
gold. Perdition hanging out the banners
of heaven. As far us possible are they re-
! moved from all genuine courtesy.
I like wnat .lotin vesiey sain to a man
when their carriages met on the road.
The ruffian, knowing Mr. Wesley and dis
liking him. did not turn out, but kept the
middle of the road. Mr. Wesley cheerfully
gave the man all the road, himself riding
into the ditch. As they passed each other
the ruffian aid, "1 never turn out for
fools," nnd 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
lowed to stand a long while, although there
was plenty of room. No one offered a seat.
The stranger after awhile said to one of
the brethren, "What church is this?" The
answer was. "Chrwt's church, sir." "Is
He in?" said the stranger. The officer of
the church understood what was meant
and gavo him a scut. We want more cour
tesy in places of business, more courtesy
in our homes.
Hut heart courtesy must precede hand
and head and foot courtesy. Cultivation
of it should begin in the father's house.
You often notice that brothers and sisters
are often gruff and snappy and sav things
and do things that they would not have the
outside world know about. Rough things
are sometimes said in households which
ought never to be said at all teasing and
recrimination and fault-finding and harsh
criticisms, which will have their echo
thirty and forty and fifty years afterward.
In the sleet driven by the east wind no
sweet flowers of kindness and geniality
will grow.
Let children hear their parents picking
at each other, and those children will be
found picking at each other, and far down
the road of life will be seen the rame dis
position to pick at others. Hct.er than
this habit of picking at children, which
so many parents indulge in, would be one
good, healthy application of the rod. llet
ter a shower that lasts a few minutes than
the cold drizzle of many days. We never
get over our first home, however many
houses we may have afterward.
Let us all cultivate the grace of Chris
tian courtesy by indulging in the habit of
praise instead of the habit of blame. There
are evils in the world that we must de
nounce, and there are men and women
who oujdit to be chastised, mil never let
us allow the oppovtumtv of applauding
good deeds p;iss unimproved.
I here are two sides to every man's c'uir
nuter a good side and an evil side. The
(.'ood see only the good and the evil only
the evil, mid the probability is t lie, t n me
dium opinion is the right opinion. Most
01 the people whom I know are doing
about as well ns they can und-r the cii
tuinstauce. hen f ,e people who are
worse than I am, I corn-hide that if 1 hnd
the same Lad inllucntvs nround 1110 all lay
lite that they have had 1 would probably
have been worse than thev now are. The
work of reform is the 'most important
work, hut many of the i-eiormcrs, dwell
ing on one evil, see nothing but evil, and
they eel u used to auutbtiua tUeK fwiet
the usefulness once 1n 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
chirogrnpliy signed the Declaration of In
dependence, never since Columbus picked
un the floating land llowers that showed
him he was coming near some new conn
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 nnd find plenty of men
capable of holding nn old fnshioned Metho
dist prayer meeting, plenty of Senators
and Representatives nnd Cabinet ollicers
to start the tune nnd kneel with the pen
itents nt the altar. In nil these places
thero are men who could, without looking
nt the book, recite the sublime words, ns
did Gladstone during vacation nt llawnr
den. "I believe in Ood. the Knthnr Al
mighty, Maker of heaven nnd earth, nnd
in desus Christ," and from the Senate nnd
House of Reorcentntivcs nnd the Presi
dential Cabinet and from the surroundinrr
offices and committee rooms, if they could
hear, would come many voices responding
"Amen and amen!"
Christian courtesy I especially commend
to those who have subordinates. Almost
every person has some one under him. How
do you treat that clerk, that servant, that
assistant, thnt employe? Do you accost
him in brusque terms nnd roughly command
him to do thnt which yon might kindly
nk him to do? The lirst words thnt the
Duke of Wellington uttered were, "If you
please. 1 tint conqueror tn what was in
some respects the greatest battle ever
fought in his last, hours, asked by his ser
vant if he would take some tea, replied,
"If you please." his lat words an expres
sion of courtesy. Hcautiful characteristic
in nny class. The day laborers in Sweden,
passing each other, take oft their hats in
reverence. There is 110 cxcue for boorish
ness in nny circle. As complete a gentle
man as ever lived was the man who was
unhorsed on the rond to llsn-nscos nnd be
headed on the road to Ostia Paul, the
apostle. I know that he might be so char
acterized by the way he onologized to Ana
nias, the high priest. I know it from the
wav he complimented Kelix ns a judge,
nnd from the wnv he erects the kin-;, "I
thank myself, King Agrinpa, because I
shall answer for myself thin day before
thee touchinfi all the things whereof I nm
nccuscd of the Jews, esntcially because I
know thee to be expert in a'l customs nnd
mirations which nvc nmoni the .Tews." I
know thnt Paul was a gentleman from the
wav he nnenpd bis sermon on Mars hill.
not insulting his audience, as Kins James's
translation imp.ies, hot. savin?. le men
of Athens. I perceive that, in all things ye
are very devout." I know he was a gen
tleman from the fact that when he with
others of a shiir.vrcck, on the Tsland of
Melita visited th? governor o: the island
lie was most impressed with the courtesy
shown them nnd fcported that, visit in
these words: "Tn the same quarters were
possessions ot tne eniet ninn 01 tne minim,
vhnr name was Publii!, who received ns
nnd lnil'ed us three drys com-ieoiwly."
And then -e those words of advice which
he gives: "Hear ye one another's burdens;"
"In honor nre.'erring one another;" "Hon
or nil men."
What a mwihly means of usefulness is
courtesy! The 'nek of it brings t many a
dead fnihire. while before those who pos
sess it in laru'e cmnntiiy all the doors of
opportunity are oncn. You can tell that
urbanity does not come f.'om study of
books of etiquette, although such books
have their use, but from a mind full of
thoughtfulness for others and a heart ill
sympathy with the conditions of others.
If those conditions be prosperous, !
gladness for the niccess. or if the condi
tions be depressing, a sorrow for the un
favorable circumstances. Ah, this world
needs lighting up!
To those of us who ere prosperous it is
no credit that we are in a state ni good
rhcer. but in the lives of ninely-ninp out
of a hundred there is 11 pathetic side, a
taking oft', n deficit, mi nuxiely, a trouble.
Hy n reninl look, by n kind word, by a
iielpful action, we mav lift, a little of the
burden and rsirtly clear the wav for the
stumbling foot. Oh. what a glorious art
it is to say the rkht word in the right
any at the right time!
If others lack courtesv. that is no rea
son why you should lack it. Respond to
rudeness 'bv utmost affability. because
some one else is a boor is no rccsou why
you should be a boor. Hut how few show
nrhanity when badly treated! Unman na
ture says: "An eye for an eye. a tooth for
tooth, retort for retort, slander for slan
der, maltreatment for nnltreutnicut." Hut
there have been those you and T have
known who amid assault and earienture
and injustice have maintained the loveli
ness of blossom week in springtime. Noth
ing but. divine grace in the heart can keep
such equilibrium. That is not human na
ture until it is transformed by supernal
influences. To nut. it on the lowest 'pound
yon cannot' nfford to be revengeful and
malignant.
Hatred and high indignation are slaves
of unheallh. Tliey cmargc the spleen;
they weaken the nerves; tliey attack the
brain. Huge in a man in one form of apo
plexy. Kvery time you get mad you dam
age your body and mind and soul, and you
have not such a surplus of vigor and en
ergy that you can nfiord to saeritiee them.
' So I applaud Christian courtesy. 1
would put' it upon the throne of eveiy
heart in all the world. The beauty of it
is thnt you may extend it to others and
have just as much of it yea, more of it
left in your own heart and life.
It is like the miracle of the loaves and
fishes, which, by being divided, were mul
tiplied until twelve baskets were lilled
with the remnants. It is like a torch,
with which fifty lamps many be lighted
and yet the torch remain ns blight us be
fore it lighted the first lamp.
Hut this grace will not come to its coro
nal until it reaches the heavenly sphere.
What a world that must be where selfish
ness and jealousy and pride and acerbities
of temper have never entered and never
will enter! No strung. e for precedence.'
No rivalry between cherubim nnd sera
phim. No ambition ns to who shall have
the front seats in the temple of God and
tho Lamb. No controversy ubout the place
the guest may lake at the banquet. No
rivalry of robe or coronet. No racing of
chariots. No throne looking askance upon
other thrones, but all tho inhabitant per
fectly happy and rejoicing in the perfect
happiness of others. If I never get to any
other delightful place I want to get to that
place. What a realm to live in forever!
All worshiping the same God. all saved by
the same Christ, all experiencing the same
emotions, all ascending the same heights
of love and exultation, all celebrating the
victories. Courtesy there easy, because
there will be no faults to overlook, no
apologies to make, no mistakes to correct,
no disagreeablcness to overcome, no wrongs
to right. In all the ages to tome not a
detraction or a subterfuge. A perfect soul
in a perfect heaven. In that realm, world
without end, it will never be necessary to
repeat the words of my text, words that
now need oft repetition, "Ue coiuieous."

The hunter In pursuit of a big game

Mr. Horace A. Vachel), In "Life and

experience of a frlnnd of his, a man
for whose veracity he voucheu. My
friend was after bear and was accom

always took with him on such trips.
One morning thoy sighted a large
wapiti, which they wounded. The In

knowing tho habits of wounded doer,
took a short cut across gome hills, hop

as It crossed a certain divide. He
reached the divide und climbed a tree

ory Verses, 37-39 Commentary
en the Day's Lesson.
37. "They were pricked." These ear
lest words delivered by the apostle
'pricked" in their hearts. This word do
totes to pierce or penetrate with a needle,
ind thus to pierce with grief or ncute
)ain of any kind. They were stung with
emorse and alarm; convicted of sin and
leeply distressed, "lion and brethren."
This wss an expression denoting affection
ite earnestness. "What shall we do."
flow can we escape the wrath that seems
ertain to fall upon ns because of having
irucificd the Slcssiah? This is tbe ques
tion asked bv every penient sinner. See
.rts 8: 6; 16: 30. They had a sense of
ruilt and danger and a readiness to vield
;o the claims of Ood. Kvery door of hope
teemed shut in their faces, but a great
leal is done when men begin to inquire
;he woy.
38. "Peter snid." Peter does not act
is superior to the other apostle", but ns
mokesman for nil of them. "Repent."
Svnngelicnl repentance is, first, contrition;
lecond. reformation.
.19. "Tor the promise." The promised
Influences of the Holy Spirit, and of par
Ion nnd salvation throuirh repentance and
'aith in the Redcmer. "Unto you." Mvcn
die murderers of God's Son were included
:o the invitation to come nnd repent, nnd
menly confess Christ, nnd live for the
lory of Ilis name.
40. "Many other words." Thus we see
that this account is only a brief report of
Peter's discourse. "Testify." The snme
S'ord is translated "charge" in 1 Tim.
1: 21, and might be so rendered bere. He
Sore witness to the promises of Christian
tv; to the truths pertaining to the dnneer
)f sinners nnd to the truth respecting the
"hnrncter of that generation. "Kxhort."
tlntrcnting them by arguments nnd prom
ises. "Save yourselves." Do those things
accessary to your salvation. Forsake
four sins nnd believe in the Lord Jesus
nhrist. "This crooked generation" (R.
V.) They were to save themselves from
!he condemnation pronounced ngninst that
wicked and backslidden nntion. which
had upon it the guilt, of special crime, nnd
1 doom of special destruction." Jinny a
man has lived in a crooked generation nnd
has kept straight.
41. "Then." Immediately, nt the close
3f the sermon. A prompt neceptnnee of
the word is the beginning of true conver
ion. "That received His word" (It. V.)
While "gladly" is omitted in the R. V.,
vet it is true that thoe who come to
rihrist should come gladly, "rejoieini in
the privilege of becoming reconciled tn
fiod." "Were baptized." As n sign that
thev hnd accepted Christ ns their Saviour.
"The same day." While 3000 were ndded
In the number of Christians in one dav. it
does not say that this number was bap
tized in one day. "Three thousand." This
was a gloricus becinnine for the infant
?hurch; the disciples would be preatly en-.-ournged.
"Snuls." Persons. This was
the lirst effusion of the Holy Spirit tinder
the preaching of the gospel, and it shows
that such scenes are to be expected in the
church, nnd that the gospel is fitted to
work a rapid and mighty change in the
hearts of men. This was en amazing
draught of fishes on the part of Peter.
?2. "They continued steadfart'y." Per
severance i the result of a fixed purpose.
Peter was definite in his preaching. The
people were definite in their decisions.
"In th? nnostles' doctrine." In the doc
trine taught by the npostles, which they
received of Jesus nnd preached under the
inspiration of the Holy Ghost. Any at
tempt to edify without instruction anil
doctrine nn the basis, is neither in accord
ance with the example nnd command of
Jesus, nor with the practice and princi
ples of the apostles, and is therefore un
evnngelical. "And fellowship." The
Spirit united them in the bonds of peace.
"In breaking of bread." In token of their
love and unity ns the family of God, the
brethren of one Parent. "In prayers."
United prayer strenethened the tie of
Christian brotherhood, and kept thein
banlized into one Sniint.
43. "Fear came." Awe nnd reverence
took the place of human philosophy. No
frivolous conversation had place among
them, but rather a pious, devotional atti
tude possessed them. "Many Bigns and
wonders were done." Not human expe
riments, but divine operations through
men devoted to the service of Ood.
44. "All things common." Themselves
and nil they had belonged to God, to
whom also belonged their poorer hrcthren.
nnd thev held what they possessed in trust
for Ood and His saints. There was nd
community of goods absolutely and univer
sally enforced as a necessary nnd perma
nent arrangement of the church. This is
plain from Acts 5: 4; 9: 30; 12: 12; 21:
16; Heb. 10: 34; 13: 2. 5, 16; 1 Cor. 18: 2.
45. "Possessions." Lands, houses.
"Goods." Personal property. "Parted."
Indicating that the sale and distribution
took place from time to time as culled for.
"Had need." They did not sell all their
possessions or relinquish their title to all
their property, but they so far regarded
all as common as to be willing to part with
it if it was needful to supply the wants of
the others. It is still the duty of the
church to supply the needs of its poor
members.
46. "In the temple." This docs not
mean that they were continually in the
temple, but they did not forsake the tem
ple services nnd were present at the hours
of praver at I) o'clock in the morning, nt
noon, and at 3 in the afternoon. "Hrenk
ing bread at home" (R. V.) This may
mean that select companies ate together
at their lodgings when they returned from
public worship. This was probably an or
dinary meal, eaten together, nnd closing
with the Lord's supper. "Meat." This
means food pf any kind. "Gladness." Re
joicing. This is one of the effects of the
grace of God. Gloom cannot exist in a
heart where the Holy Ghost dwells. "Sin

and thankful. There was 110 deceit or hy
pocrisy. 47. "Praising God." Their hearts were
full of praise. It is aa natural for Chris
tiana to praise Ood as to breathe. "Hav
ing favor." Tbe common people heard
them gladly. They were esteemed for
their simplicity and charity, and for the
Surity and loveliness of their lives. The
swish leaders bad not yet entered into s

added." It is the work of the Holy Ohost
to save men and bring them into the
church. "That were being saved" (R. V.)

ceived into the Christian church. When a
church becomes filled up with unsaved,
worldly people, it censes to be a church
and sinks to the level of a mere social in
stitution. Pern's History In IOO Words.

Bradstreet's says: Satisfaction with

of old business, in stock taking and in

A conspicuous exception lo the gen
eral (iiictncss is found in the iron and
steel situation, which gains rathor than
loses activity.
