The text .ii Proverbs xxv, 15, "A soli tongue breaketh the bone." • i When Solomon said this, he drove E whole volume into one phrase. , You, ol course, will not be so silly as to -take tht words of the text in a literal sena7- ' They simply mean to set forth the fact tI at then is a trernend us power in a kindavbrd. Al ' ij though it ma y seem to be very ilusignill cant, its fordc is indescribable and Mimi - table. Pungent and all conquering utter ancc, "A soft tongue breaketh the bone." If I had time, I would show you kind- ness as a means of defense, as a means oi usefulness, kindness as a means of domestie the taming and curing el harmony, kill:iciness as best employed by government for criminals and kindness as best adapted. foi the settling iaid adjusting of international quarrel, brit I shall call your attention only to two of th se tholights. -And, first,I I speak to you of kindness at a means of iefonse. Almost everyman, in the cours4 of his life; is set upon ana as• smutted. Y ur motives are misinterpreted or your religious or political pranciples arE borabarded. What to do under such cir• camstances is the question. The first impulse of the natural heart says: "Strike back. Give as much as he sent. Trip him into the ditch which he dug for your feet. . Gash him with as -se. vere a wound as that which he inflicted on your soul. Shot fon shot. Sarcasm for •sarcasm, _ An eye for an eye. A tooth for a tooth.i' But the better spirit in the man's soul rises up and says, "You ought th consider that matter." You look up in- to the face ot Christ and say, "My Master, how ought litho ant under these difficult cir- cumstances?' - And Chkist instantly an - severs "Bless them that curse you, and pray for therii which despitefully use you." Then the old nature rises up again. and says: "You had better not forgive him un - 511 first you have chastised him. You will never get him in so tight a corner again. You will never have such an opportunity • of inflicting the right kind of punishment upon him again. First chastise him and - then let him go." "No," says the better nature, "huh, thou foul heart. Try the soft tongue that breaketh the bone." Have you ever in aul your life known acerbity and acrimoplous dispute to settle a guar - .rel? Did they not always make matters worse and wOrso and worse? About 55 years ago there -ayes a groat -quarrel 4n the Pres- byterian family. ' Ministers of Phrist were thought orthodox in proportfon as they had measured lances with other clergymen of She same denomination. The most out- rageous personalities were abroad. As, in She aatiunn, a hunter comes borne with a string of genie, partridges and wild ducks, tilting over his shoulder, so there were many ministers who came back from the ecclesiastical courts with long strings of doctors of divinity whom they had shot with their oWn rifle. The division becami wider,' the Animosity greater, until aftet awhile somelgood men resolved upon an- other tack. They began to explain away the difficulties, they began to forgive each other's faults, and, lot thegreat church quarrel was settled, and the new school .Presbyterian church and the old echool i Presbyterian church became one. The dif- ferent parts, of the Presbyterian order, welded by a hammer, a little hammer, a Christian harnmerthat the Scripture calls "a soft tongue." The Applause of Conscience. • - YOu Aiave a dispute with your neighbor. You say tio hian, 'I despise you." He re-. plies, "I cant bear the sight of you." You say to h ms "Never enter my house again." He door sill, I'll him, "I'll pu says, "If you mile on my kick you off." • Yon say to you down." He says to you: "You --ciee mistaken. I'll put you down." • An4 so the contest rages, and - year after yesr you act tho- unc,hristitin part, and he acts the unchristian part. After awhile tjhe better spirit seizes you, and one day y u go over to the neighbor arid say: "Giije me. your hand. We have fought long e (nigh. Time is so short, and eternity is so near, that we cannot af- • ford any longer to quarrel. I feel you have Wronged the yery much, but tiet . ussettle all no* in onegreat hand shaking and be good friends ler all the rest of our liVes." You have risen to a higher platform than that -on whiehibefore you stood. . You win his admiration, and you get. his apelog7. But if yell hate not conquered him inthat way at any; rath you have won the applause of your own eonseience, the high estima tion of good men and the honor of your Lord who diea for his armecl enemies. • "But," yotl. say, "what are wo to do • when slander assault us, and there come acrimonious sayings all around about us, and WO are abused and, spit upon?" My reply is: Do not go and attempt to chase . down the slanders. Lies are prolific, and while you are killing ono, fifty are born. All your demonstrations of hiaignation only exhaust yom•Self. You might as well OD some summer night, When .the swarms of ipsects are corning up. from the meadows and disturbing you a d disturbing your family,- bring em som great- "swamp ane gel," like that whic thundered over Chariest re• and try to: shoot them down. The game is teo seiall for the gun. But what, then, are you to do with the abuses. that conie upon you i life? You are to live theta down! I saw a farmer go out to get back a swarm of bees thathad wander- ed off from the hive. As ho moved amid •thern -they buzzed around his head and buzzed around his h rids and buzzed around his feet. If he lad killed one of them, they would have A ung him to death. But he moved in their midst in perfect placidity until he -had c ptured the swarm of wandering lces. • . And so I haa e seen n en moving amid the annoyence ; ancl the vexations, and the assa;ults of life 'in such calm, Christian de- liberation 'that all the buzzing around They Oong ierea them, and, -above all, they ebout the r seal amounted to nothing. conqaered themselves. "Oh," you say, • "that's a very good theory to preach on a hot day, b t it won't work." It will work. It has wo Christian are fruits N others in .1" keV I believe it is the last ace we win. You know there ,hich we gather in June, and ily, and others in August, and . others in: eptember, and still others in -October, and I1 have to admit that this I grace of Christian forgiveness is about the last fruit of th Christian soul. Wo hear a great deal abi the sarcastic tor and the stingi • very little abe ut the bitter- tongue, anda Tee, and the quick tongue; g torigue, but we know a "the soft tongue that breaketh • thc b ne.

I pass now tc the other thought that I' desire to T)re0enS and that is kindness as a means of usetifiness. In tin conimureities you find skeptical men. Through early education, or through the 1 altreatment of professed Christian people, or through pry- ing curiosity about the fut re world; there are a great niany people w o', become skep- tical in religious things. How shall you • capture them foraGod? S utrp argument and sarcastic roto t never'. ori a single soul from skepticism . the .Ch istian religion. . While powerful •ooks o the ovideneet • of Christianity h 3 votheir mission in con- firming Christie people iia the faith they have already ado; ted, 1 hafro noticed that when skeptical p ioplo are 1rought into the kingdom of Q.Lu'is it is th iough the charni of some genial so il, and not by argument at all.. Men are not saved through the head; they are sa -cd thro gh the heart. A storm conies ou of its 1 iding place. It says, "Now we'l just reuse up all this Sea," And it ma -es a gre t bluster, but it does not succeed. Part•of the sea is ro sod up—perba,ps ono -half of it �r one-fou4th of it _After awhile the calm . moon,- p acid and beauti- ful, looks down, and tho ocean begins to --rim It comes up to high water mark. It embraces the great heaelands.- It Bab- - merges tho beach of all the continents. It is the heart throb of one WOrld against the heart throb of another world. And I have th tell you that while ell your storms of ridicule- and storms of sarcasm may rouse up the passion of an immortal nature, nate, ing less than the attractia e power of Chris- tian kinduess ca.n ever raise the deathless spirit to happiness and to God. I have more faith in tho prayer ef a child 6 years old in the way of bringing an infidel back to Christ and to heaven than I have in all the hissAng thunderbolts of ecelealactical controversy. -lion cannet overcome men with religious 1 argumentation. If you come at a skeptical map with an argument on behalf of tao Christian religions, you put the man on his mettle. He says: "I see that man has a carbine.. I'll use my carbine. I'll -answer hie argument with my argument." But if 9u come to that man, persuading him th you desire his happiness ou earth and li eternal .welfare In the World to come, he nnot 'answer it • A. Glorious Sem 'tient. ' , • What I have , said is jiii t its true in the reelamation of the, openly ,vicieus. Did you ever know a drunkard to be saved through . thee, caricature ;of , a drunkard? Your mimicry of the staggering step, and She thick tongue, . and t e disgusing hic- coughs only worse madde s his brain. But :- if yeei come to him in k dness andsym- path , if you showhim t at koo, appreciate She alwful grip of a de raved appetite, if you ersuade him of tl e fact that thou - sande who had the grapp ing hooks of evil inclipation clutched in tl eir soul -as firmly as they now are in his h ve been rescued, thenI' a ray of light will J flash across his - vision, and it will seem is if a, supernat- ural hand were steadyin his staggering gait. A good many year ago there lay in the streets of Richmond ainan dead drunk, his face exposed to the b latering noonday min. A Christian woman passed- along, looked at him and said, "Poor fellow!" She took her handkerc ief and spread it . over his face and passe on. The man roused himself up from his debauch and began to look at the handkerchief, and lo! on it was the name of a Lighly respectable Christian woman of the city of Richmond. He went th 'her, he thanked her .for her kindness, and that :one 'little deed saved him for this life, and salved him for the life that is th come. He was afterward at- torney general of the United. States; but, higher than all, he became the consecrated disciple of Jesus Christ. . Kind words are so cheap it is a wonder we do not use them oftener. There are tens Of thousands of peoPle in these cities who are dying for the hick of one kind word. There is a businePs man who has fought against trouble nntil he is perfectly exhausted. He has been thinking about forgery, about robbery, about suicide. Go to that business nian. -Tell him that bet- ter times are coming,. and tell him that yen yourself were in atight business pass and the Lord delivered yOu. Tell bim th pukhis trust in God. Tell him that Jesus Christ stands beside eveey business' man In his perplexities. Tell him of the sweet promises of God's comfort ng. grace. _ That man is dying for the lack 4f just one kind word. Go tomorrow and utter that ono saving, omnipotent, kind 'Word. Here is a soul that has been swam ed in sin,. He wants to find the light of Itho gospel. He . 'feels like a shipwrc-elred. 3 lathier looking - out over the beach, watc ling for . a sail against the sky. Oh, bea down on him! Toll him that the Lord waits to begracious to Min; that, though ho has been a great • sinner, there is a, great Sa lour provided. Tell him that, though his ins arc as scar- let, they shall be as snow; .hough they are • red like crimson, they • sh ill be as wool, That man is dying foreveror the lack of r one kind word. There use 1. to be sung at a .great many of the pianos ,all through the country a song that has ahnost died out. I wish somebody would start it again in our social cireles. There may not have been very eAuisite art in the-- music, but there was a grand and eielortOus sentiment— . Kind words never die, Fever die, . Cherished and ble sed. ' Sympathy's Loving Grace. ' Ohs:that we rill lit in, i • families and in our churches try the feriae of kindness!. You can never drive men Iwomen or chil- dren jet° the kingdom of sbod. A March northeaster will bring oat more honeysuc- kles than fretfulness and se lding Will ever bring 4ut Christian grace. 1 I wish that in all ourj religious work we might be satu- rated vith the spirit of, kindness. Missing, that, e miss a great cleal, of usefulness. There Is no need of coming oat before men and th ndering to them ths law unless at She sail e time you preach 50 them the gos- pel. Tie world is dying for lack of kind- ness. These young people want 15 just as much as the -old. The old people s metimes seem to think theythe-ve a monop ly of the rheu- matisms, and the neuralgia4, and the head- aches, and the- physical d sorders of the world; but I :tell you ther are no worse heartaches than are felt by some of these young people. Do you know that much of the work is done by the young? Raphael died at 37, Richelieu at 31, Gustavus Adolphus died at 38, IAnocclint III came to his mightiest influence at 13, Cortes con- quered Mexico at 30, Don Tohn won Le- panto at 25, Grotius was a torney. general at. 24, and I have noticed a, lid all classes of men that some of the severest battles and the toughest work come before $0. Therefore .wo must have cua sermons and our exhortations in prmyelr meeting all these people further on in ife. Whatdo sympathetic with the youn .. And to with these doctors_and lawyers and merchants _. • . and mechanics care about t e abstractions of religion? What they w nt As help to. bear the whimsicalities of patients, -the browbeating of legal- oppo ents, the un- fairness of customers, who lave plenty of fault fluding for every in perfection of handiwork, but no praise for 20 excellences. What does that brain rack -el, hand blis- terecl man care for Zwiugli' "Doctrine of Original Sin" or Augiisen'E( "Anthro- pology?". You might as w 1 go to a man who has tho pleurisy and pi t on his side a plaster made out of Dr. P We "Treatise on Medical Jurisprudence.", In all our sermons there must be lielp for every one somewhere. ou go into an apothecary store. We see ethers being waited on. We do not col plain because we do not immediately get the medicine. We know our tura will coin after awhile. And so while all parts. of Asermon may not be appropriate to our cete, if v-ro wait Prayerfully before the sermon is through i . , • we shall have the divine presctiption. 1 say to these young men who are going to preach the goepel, these theological stu- dents, I say to them, We want in our ser- mons not more metaphysic, nor 111131ns imagination, nor more logic, nor more pro- fundity. Lend as Helping' Hand: What we Walit .in our cermons and Chris- tian exhortations is more sympathy. When Father Taylor preached in the Sailors' Bethel at Boston, tli& jack tars felt they had help for their duties among the rat- lines and the forecastles. When Richard -Weaver preached to the operatives in Old- ham, England, all the workingmen felt they had more grace for the spindles. When Dr. South preached to kings and princes and princesses, all the mighty 111031 alld women who heard him felt preparation for their high station. Do you not know that this sinaple story of a Saviour's kindness is to redeem all rations? The hard heart of this world's obduracy is to be broken before that story. There Is in Antwerp, Beligum, ono of the most remarkable pictures I ever saw. It he "The Descent of Christ From the Cross." It is one of Rubens' pictures. No man can stand and iook at that "Descent From the Cross," as Rubens pictured it, without having his eyes flooded with tears, if he have any seusibility at all It is an overmasteringpicture—one that stuns you and staggers you and haunts your dreams. One afternoon a nian stood in that cathe- dral looking at Rubens' "Descent From the Cross." He was all absorbed in that scene of a Saviour's sufferings, when the janitor came in and said: "It is thne to close up the cathedral for the night. I wish you would deport." The 'pilgrim, :looking at that "Des&nt From the Cross, " -turned around to the janitor and said:, "No, no; not yet. Wait until they get him down." Oh, it is the story of a Saviour's suffering kindness that ie to cap- ture the world. When the bones of that great behemoth of iniquity which has trampled all nations shall be broken and shattered, it Will be found out that the work was not done by the hammer of the iconoclast, or by the sword of the conquer- or, or by the torch of persecution but by the plain, simple, overwhelfning force of "the soft tongue that breaketh the bone." Our Eternal Heritance. Kindness! We all need more of it in our hearts, our words and our behavior. The chief characteristic of our Lordavas kind- ness. A gentleman in England died lea,vr in his fortitue by will th two sons. The son that staid at home destroyed the fa- ther's will and pretended that the brothe who was absent was dead and buried. Th absent brother after awhile returned on claimed his part of the property. Judges and jurors were to be bribed to say tbat the returned brother and son was no so at all, but only an impostor. The trl4l came on. Sir Matthew Hale, the pride cf the English courtroom and for 20 yeaijs the pride of jurisprudence, heard that th t injustice was about to be practiced. flfe put off his official robe. He put on t e garb of a miller. He went th the villa e where that trial was to take place. Be entered the courtroom. He somehow gctt impaneled as one of the jitters The • bribes came around, and the m gave te11 pieces of gold to the other juro s, but as thia was only a poor miller the riber gave to him only five pieces of gold. A verdict was brought in rejecting the ri ht of this returned brother. He was to ha e no.share in the -inheritance. "Hold, my mei!" said the miller. "Hold! Weare not all agreed on•this verdict. These other m n have re- ceived ten pieces of gold in bri sery and I have received only five." "Wi s are you? Where do you come from?" sai the judge on the bench. The response • 3 : "I am from Westminster hall • Myna e is Mat- thew Hale, lord chief justice of the king's bench. Off of that place'tho villian!" And so the injustice was balk:* , and so the young man got his inherita • ce. It was all for another that Sir Matthew Hale took off his robe and put on the garb of 'a miller. And so Christ took off his robe of royalty and put on the attire of our humanity, and in that disguise helwon our eternal portion. Now are we thp sons of God—joint heirs. We went off frilm home sure enough, but we got back in time to receive our eternal inheritance. And if Christ was so kind to us, surely we can afford to be kind to each other. • Tom Marshall and Artist Beard. In talking about his father, the late James H. Beard, Dan Beard, the artist of this city, said the other day: "He painted the portraits of the long list of distinguish- • ed men — Clay, John .Quincy Adams, Zachary Taylor, William Henry Harrison and others. While painting Taylor father said to him, 'Well, general, I suppose you are to be our next president?' I hope not,' grunted the bluff old hero. 'No military man has any business in the presidential chair, but if the offer it to me I suppose I'll be d—d fool enough to accept it.' And ho was. "It was shortly after father's Marriage th a niece of Colonel Carter, in 1833, that he made the southern . campaign tour. Toni Marshall of Kentucky was then running for congress. Ho was defeated by a song which father wrote, and this brought a challenge to a duel. Eighteou boon com- panions of my father answered the chal- lenge and told Marshall that he must fight all of them, singly or all at once, but the 18 men he must meet! Somehow this duel Meyer came off, and Marshall never aftor- ward alluded to it but once, and that was when he first saw father's canvas, 'The Last Victim of the Flood.' Standing be- fore the painting, Marshall seemed visibly impressed. Finally, drawing himself up to his full height, he turned to father and said, 'Beard, you're a Mighty good .paint- er, but you're a d --d poor poet.' "e—New York Tribune. Answered.
