Seeming insignificances may be vital
sentlnls. Some years ago, when cross
ing the Atlantic ocean, the companion
lith whom I was travellug one day
ortieer passed me, and I asked'. "What
in the matter, lieutenant? Is the rud
der broken?" "Oh. no," said he. "We
are merely testing a new compass. In
order to lind out whether it is perfect
we had to wait until we were fur nway
from t!n magnetic cff.it f rocks and

Tim, kjj- fri, nils. 1 wntil.l take for
my theme today the "Small I.'s- iihals''
ol life. I would try to show ymi thai
many of the seeming it.sUrn'iioanecs
him tlio despised monads are precnant
with large IhoikIs of intluetices. every
one of which will have huge progenies.
A cholera j,.i rm may be s i small that it
Is not visible to the naked eye. If. how
ever, it Is let alone in Its work of devas
tation it can soon crowd the wards of
the county hospital with invalids and
keep the undertakers' wagons busy by
(lay as well as the nurses busy by
night. 1 ask the striking ijuestion
which Zechariah put In times of old.
"Who hath despised the dav of small
things?"
Small essentliil the first: Appropri
ateness and neatness of personal ap
parelappropriateness and neatness in
reference to tl e ivat a man wears
upon his hack, mhi to the shoes on his
feet, and especially in reference to the
cleanliness of the liivn he wears about
Ills neck, ai.d to the modesty with
which he is i.rtlivd Itt public. Ood
would never ' M-.-e condemned the
"cauls and i!.e ch.ih.s and the bracelets
and the ruilli s anil bonnets and the or
naments of the , -s and the headbands
and the tabh Is mid the earrings nnd
the nose jeuvls and the changeable
suits of app.-fl and the mantles and
the wimples and the crisping pins and
the glasses and thv fine linen and the
hoods and the veils" of the haughty
(laughters of Zion, "who walk with
stretched foith necks and wanton eyes,
walking and mincing as they go, and
making a tinkling with their feet," un
less there was a direct connection be
tween a man's inner character and his
"Sartor Kesartus." or "Philosophy of
Clothes." I'aul would never have com
manded the women of the Corinthian
church to veil themselves In public as
semblage if he had not been convinced
that a woman's disregard of the social
customs of the country and the time
Implied a lack of modesty nnd purity.
There is, there must be, an unbreak
able spiritunl link binding a man's per
sonal apparel and his heart "Cleanli
ness Is next to godliness" Is a trencb-
nisldenly flung open my stateroom door nnt .tatemcnt not found In holv writ.
tnd cried: "Come on deck! Something but the substance of Its teachings Is
Vss happened to the ship!" When I ar- certainly round within the leaves of
jled on deck I fouud scores and nun- the Holy BIblo. The elaborate dlrec
slreds of passengers excitedly watching j 0ons wj,ich God gave to ttie Israelites
-the strange movements of the ship's . tQt ntul and frequent ablutions of
urw. Instead of rlowlng ahead, w body and tta ciotbai ahow that be
w re slowly moving around to tb h jnaiflOTt to the cleanliness oi
Ctrht In a oerfect circia. Juas than mm ,
those whrijrrjo. 'nto his presence Wc
have, therefore, a right to doubt
whether a person who is in public
I chronically dirty in persou or slovenly
! or Immodest in apparel can offer ac
ceptable worship.
Yet to hear some slovens 1 n tk one
might suppose it was a sign of mental
deucner.icy for men and women to In
careful of their per.-onal appearance.
'J'hiy pretend to believe that a well
groomed ai:d neat man is t . ..'uliai'y
11 weak mail. Therefore they practical
ly say that one of the signs of genius is
a disregard of the decijieies of life.
They cite the example of the Creek
mathematician whose appearance in
dishabille on the streets shocked all the
people who saw him, and the example
of Napoleon and Samuel Johnson and
Horace (Jreeley, all notorious for their
indifference to ordinary neatness of at
tire, but such examples are not proofs
, of genius, but only of the power of
. genius to win its way in life in spite
i (f disgusting habits. The genius of
Alexandre Pumas triumphed in spite
I of the degradation of his birth, and
j Henry Fawcett became a statesman
I and successful administrator in spite
I of his blindness; so, personal unclean-
llncss and slovenliness may fall to de
feat the true genius, but they can
never help him to victory. And yet,
deluded by this idea that slovenliness
and uncleanllne8s are signs of true
greatness, ninny a lawyer, a doctor, a
merchant, has ruined his financial
chances In life because he would not
dress as a gentleman should dress.
There are more ways than one of In
terpreting that passage of Scripture
which says hi reference to the one tal
ent man, "And I was afraid nnd went
nnd hid thy talent In the earth." Some
of "the earth" in which many men hide
their talents of life is to be found In
tin- mthJuess and In the unkempt con
ditions of their wardrobes.
If it is necessary to be clean and neat
in personal appearance In temporal
work, how much more is this neatness
essential when we are consecrating our
lives to the service of Jesus Christ?
The dear Saviour wants us to go out
and labor In his name in the same way
as he used to work. He was taunted
with many reproaches during bis earth
ly life, but those who hated him most
never charged him with uncleanliuess
or slovenliness, and we may be sure
that the Pharisee who Invited him
to his house nnd the other hosts
who entertained him would nev
er have welcomed him as a guest
if he had been cureless about his
person or his dress. The quality of his
robe may have been poor, but we may
be sure that there were no Impurities
upon It or upon him. So, Christian
workers, if we go forth in Christ's
name, some of us must be more care
ful about our personal appearance.
Remember, O minister, when you as
cend the pulpit, that your clothes may
not be expensive, but they should be
neat Remember, O Sunday school
teacher, that wben you axnonnd the
isiDie lesson your scnoiars are learn
lng from you what it is to be a Chris
tian. They are learning with theii
eyes as well as with their ears. Re
member. O man of God, that wherever
you go your clean skin and pure linen
as well us your lips preach in Christ's
name.
Small essential the next: The little
kiiuHiesM's am! i i.urie.-ies whiih we
should cMeiid t-1 those with whom we
come In il: ;;y i m!a t. The .little ads
of dcfc'vnr wh!'-h we siiou'il s' ow to
ladies, sii 'li as taking o'T the hat when
we st. mil ui'h Ham in an elevator or
allowing tliem to piveetio us t!noiU'.h
an opened door. I he Thank yi.u. sir,"
with whiih a holy should ai luiow i. dgf
a gentleman's aciion wl.in In rlse. in
a street car to ott'er her a seat. The lit
tle social calls by which we should
welcome a new neighbor or her fra uds
into our community. The liitle irifts of
delicacies which should be sent to the
1 invalid's room of our neighbor's bouse.
All these little attentions and cour-
; tcsies may not seem to be of much
; value at the time, but they are mighty
I in the development or the depletion of
human character. They are mighty in
i deciding whether a man is to live a
Hellish or an unselfish life.
j How a selfish life? Simply enough.
' I fore, for Instance, is n man who enters
a railroad ear. He places his satchel
1 in one seat and his overcoat by his side. I
Then be stretches out his long legs,
puts his feet upon the opposite sunt and
begins to rend a newspaper. After
awhile the train Alls up, but he does
not remove his incumbrances. The
man is an incarnation of Folflsuuess. '
He enres only for his own comfort nnd
la oblivious of the rights of others. He '
has paid for but one sitting. He has a !
right to occupy only half n seat. Yet
he Is monopolizing four sittings. When
the poor old woman with a heavy bun
dle comes down the aisle, timidly look
ing for a place to rest and to deposit
her load, he buries his face yet further
in the newspaper and pretends not to
see her. The old lady hesitates a little
j by bis side, and then passes on. You
say: "That man Is not a iollte man.
; He Is not a gentleman." I say Chris
' tlan courtesy means more thnn the two
I words "mere politeness" imply. That
' man Is laying the foundations of an
' evil future. For if he Is discourteous
! to bis fellow men, If he is willing to
' crowd his fellow passengers In a rail
road train out of the seats which rlght
i fully belong to them, be la developing
a disposition which, If not checked,
may lead him by and by to defraud bis
neighbor of the dollars and cents which
by right belong to him. Wben Paul
said "Be courteous" ha meant more
than to be merely polite. He meant
"be honest, be fair, -be noble in the lit
tle duties and attentions which you
should show to your fellow men."
Character is not born; it la developed.
It springs not tip in a night, aa a
Jonah's gourd. It grows gradually.
Lyman Beecher once said, 'It took
forty yean," when some one asked
him the Question, "How. long did tl
take to write that sermon r By that
Mr. Beecher meant that every year's
work was a preparation for the fol
lowing year's work. Every act of oar
present day is dependent In more ways
than oue upon tbe actions of our past
When a woman peeks out of her win-do-
to see the furniture van unload
her new neighbor's furniture and then
refuses to call upon that neighbor and I
extend to her the rightful social respect !
of the neighborhood, she Is schooling
herself to refuse to extend a welcom
ing band to her humble sister when
she enters ber church.
Furthermore, my brother, remember
that discourtesy toward others almost
Invariably has a reactionary effect. Tbe
person who complains most about
the rudeness of others Is generally the
on who himself is rudest of all.
Small essential the next: The absti
nence from all appearance of evil. The
taking care of your life's actions so
that they may never be false lights
luring your neighbors and friends upon
the fatal rocks of siu. The refusal to
eat meat, if by the eating you may
cause your brother to offend. "All
things may be lawful, but all things
are not expedient," was the substance
of the Tuiiline injunction to tbe Co
rinthian church. "To si cm" may some
times be almost as great a sin as "to
be." Mark you this: No man can af
ford in any way to have his influence
cast upon the wrong side of any moral
question. Nearly all our great religious
teachers have recognized this truth.
We must abstain from all appearance
of evil on account of our Influence over
others. We must abstain from all ap
pearance of evil on account also of
the reactionary evil influence upon our
selves. One of the greatest bulwurks
against sin is the God implanted desire
to be thought well of by your neigh
bors. A man, on account of principle,
ought to be ready, if necessary, to defy
the scorn nnd the sneer nnd the op
probrium nnd the persecution and the
misrepresentation and the ridicule of
the human race. But every man may
desire that his neighbors and friends
think well of him; that they should re
gard his name as the synonym of hon
esty and truth and probity and recti
tude. And when any man comes to
tbe dangerous condition in which he
does not care what his neighbors think
about him; when he intentionally and
recklessly stirs up a homers' nest of
needless criticism; when be tauntingly
boasts that it does not inntter what oth
ers may Bay, as long as be is nut doing
wrong, then that man's feet are trend
ing the soft quicksands of temptation
and walking along the narrow edge of
the precipice of death.
My sister, be careful about the char
acter of your associates. My brother,
you who are an officer or a member of
the Christian church, I would not at
tend tbe theater again. You may say
you saw nothing wrong. You mny say
you need the relaxation. But you can
fliurthat relaxation In some other way.
You cannot afford the rUk.
Small essential t,he last: The. Inexo
rable duty of keeping an engagement
The necessity of doing what you prom
ise to do. If you say to u friend, "I
will meet you at such and-such a place,
nt such nnd such a time," you should
be there. You should be there just as
certainly as you would be down at the
ship's dock on time when it is about to
sail lVr 1'urope. and when you have
purchiised a $H'0 berth for the pas
sage. If you cannot be on time, ac
cording to promise, for your engage
ment, then you should notify the per
son with whom you have the appoint
men!. lint the great trouble with
many people is that they have no mor
al sin-e of the duty of keeping an en
gagi wont unless they wisli to do so.
They will promise anything, like a dis
l.oncM politician just before an elec
tion, and like the same dishonest poli
tician afP r election they will forget
till their promises if it suits their con
venience to forget. The result is that
the man's character and religious life
will be eaten out by these- little fail
ures and sins, just as one little worm
can tunnel its way into the heart of a
great oak and cat out its heart until at
last the monarch of the forest will
have its backbone snapped by tbe on
rushing winds.
It is the foxes, the little foxes, that
most often spoil the tender vlucs, not
tbe elephantine monsters. Once In
awhile, however, tbe heavy foot of uu
eastern camel might crush them or
the paw of a leopard might rip them
apart when the midnight prowler,
chased by the dogs, Is rushing nway
ufter having robbed the sbeepfold, but
this is a rare occurrence. It is the lit
tle faults, the careless and thoughtless
negligences, which do tbe most frequent
mischief. It is the little weeds that
destroy the gardens and with their
bayonet thrusts of thorns stab the
flowers to death, not the mighty
growths of the cedars of Lebanon or
of tbe weeping willows. So It is In
evitably tbe small sins, tbe despised
sins, tbe ignored sins, the sins of In
significance, that most frequently over
throw human character, not the behe
moth sins, not the monstrous sins, not
the sins catalogued In tbe criminal
codes of man and of nations.
Therefore, O man, I beg and plead
with you that you take Christ Into the
smallest details of your life. Let the
Christ be with you as much In the
paying back of a borrowed five cent
piece as in the purchase of a store. Let
him be with you as much in the clean
liness of your wardrobe as In the clean
liness of your tongue. Let him belp
you in the Christian courtesies which
you extend to your neighbors as well
as In the Christian exhortations yon
offer in your church. May you night
and morning always be able to make
this prayer: "O Ood, help me tn the lit
tle temptations, and then I now that
thou wilt make me able to bear the
greater trials." With inch a lesson at
this for consideration, who to there
