TALMAGE’S SERMON. The Art of Making Friends Discoursed Upon. The Rest Way to Get Ardent Friend* le to ttave Ardent Enemies If Yoor Enemies Have Been Acquired In Doing Might. t i, Rev, T. DeWitt Talmago discussed the art of making friends in a recent sermon in the Brooklyn Tabernacle. His text was: e A man that hath friends must show himself friendly.—Prov. xriiL, Sb About the sacred and divine art of making and keeping friends 1 speak—a subject on which I never heard of any one preaching—and yet God thought it of enough importance to put U in the middle of the Bible, these writings of Solomon, bounded on one side by the popular Psalms of David, and ou the other by the writings of Isaiah, the greatest of the prophets. It seems all a matter of haphazard how many friends we have, or whether we have any friends at all, but there is nothing accidental about lb There is a law which governs the accretion and dispersion of friendships. They did not “just happen so” any more than the tides just hapueu to rise or fall, or the sun just happens to. rise or seb It is a science, an arb 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 frieuils is to have ardent enemies, if you got their enmity in doing tho right thiug. Good men and women will always have enemies, because their goodness is a perpetual rebuke to evil; but this antagonism of foes will make more intense the love of your adherents. fftpr friends will gather closer nrouud you because of the attacks of your assailants. The more your enemies abuse you the better your coadjutors wiff think % you. The best friends we ever had appeared at some juncture when we were especially bombarded. There have been times in my life when unjust assault multiplied my friends, as near as I could calculate, about fifty a minute. You are bound to some people by many cords that neither time nor eternity can break, and 1 will warrant that many of those cOrds were twisted byhands malevolent. Human nature was shipwrecked about fifty-nine centuries ago—the captain ot that craft (one Adam) and bis first mate running the famous cargo aground on a snag in the River Hiddekel; but there was at least one good trait of human nature that waded safely ashore from that shipwreck, and that is the disposition to take the part of those unfairly dealt with. When it is thoroughly demonstrated that some one is being persecuted, although at the start ■ slanderous tougues were busy enough, defenders finally gather around as thick as bees on a trellis of bruised honeysuckle. If, when set upon by the furies, yon can have grace enough to keep your month shut, aud presewe 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 on His arrival at Palestine a very cold shoulder there would not have beeu one-half as

many angeis cnanung giory oui oi uib hymn books of the sky bonnd iu black | lids of midnight. ‘Had it not been for the heavy and jagged and tortuous cross. Christ would not have been the admired and loved of more people than any being who ever touched foot on either the eastern or western hemisphere. Instead, therefore, of giving np in despair because you have enemies rejoice in the fact that they raljy for you the most helpful and enthusiastic admirers. In other words, there is no virulence, human or diabolic, 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 yonng a thought which may benjgnly shape their destiny for the here and the hereafter. Before you show yourself friendly you must be friendly. I do not recommend a dramatized geniality. There is such a thing as pretending to be en rapport with others when we are their dire destructants, and talk against them aud wish them calamity. Judas covered up his treachery by a resounding kiss, and caresses may be demoniacal. Better the mythological Cerberus, the threeI headed' dog of hell, barking at us, than I the wolf in sheep’s clothing, its brindled hide covered np by deceitful wool, and its deatbful howl cadenced into aa innocent bleating. Disraeli writes of Lord Manfred, who, after committing many outrages upon the people, seemed suddenly to become friendly, and invited them to a banquet. After most of the courses <6f food haul been served he blew a horn, which was in those times a signal tor the servants to bring oh the dessert, 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 • 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 yonr i nature into a semblance of this virtue, I bnt the grace of God can sublimely lift you into it. Sailing on the river Thames two vessels ran aground. The owners of one got a hundred horses and palled on the grounded ship, and pulled it to pieces. The owners of the other grounded vessel waited till the tides come in and easily floated the ship out of all trouble. So, we may | pull and haul at our grounded human nature, and try to get it into better condition; but there is nothing like the oceanic tides of God’s npiif ting grace to hoist us into this kindliness I am eulogizing. If when under the flash of the Holy Ghost we see our own foibles and defects and depravities, we will be very lenient and very easy with others. We will look into their characters 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 broadaxe and go forth to split up the beam in your neighbor’s eye. Iu a Christian spirit keep on exploring the characters of those you meet, and I am sure you will find something in them delightful and fit for a foundation of friendliness. You invite me to come to your country seat and spend a few days. Thank yon! I arrive about noon of a beautiful summer day. What do you do: 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 pillars of the pond lilies. You take me to the stalls and kennels whe:e 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 car speak, asking for harness or saddle, and a short turn down the road. Thenwc go back to the house, and you get me in the right light and show me the Kensetts and the Overs tad ts on the wall, and take me into the music room and show mo the bird cages, the canaries in the bay window answering the *»Mn in the tree tops. Thank you? I never enjoyed myself more in the same length of time. How, whj do not we do that way in regard to the character of others, and show the bloon and the music and the bright fountains: Ho. Wo say come along and lot m< •how yon that man’s character. Hero h 11m# mwhm4 frof poftA nw*

Oh, my friends, lie ;er cover up the faults and extol tie virtues, and this habit once estab lit aed of universal friendliness will b<«i me as easy as it is this morning for a t rings to flood the air with sweetness, » easy as it will be further on in the s. ison for a quail to whistle up from tin. grass. When we hear something bid about somebody whom we always .sat josed to be good, take out your lead p ncil and say: "Ij»t me seel Before I & cept that baleful story against that mu-’s character, I will take off from it tw m y-five per cent, for the habit of exagge “a- on which belongs to the man who Art* old the story; then I will take off twenty-five per cent, for the additions whid je spirit of gossip in every communiy has pnt upon the original story; then I -ill take off twentyfive per cent, from ti e fact that the man may have been put in.o circumstances of overpowering tenptution. So 1 have taken oft seventy- 5tj per cent But I have not heard hi t ide of the story at all. and for that rei ,sen I take off the remaining twenty-five ier cent” Excuse me, sir, I don't belt sv a word of it. But here comes in a defect ifb maxim, so of tea quoted: ''Where there is so much smoke there must be tome fire.” Look at all the sm >k> for years around Jenuer, the introducer of vaccination: and the smoke wound Columbus, the discoverer; aud the smoke around Martin Luther, and Savons rola, and Gallieo, and Paul, aud John, and Christ, and tell me where was the file? Slander, like the world, may be ma le out of nothing. If the Christian, flic-minded, commonsensical spirit in regard to others predominated in the vorld we should have the millennium in abont six weeks, for would not that be lamb and lion, cow and leopard lying > lown together? Nothing but’the grace cf God can ever put us into such a habit of mind and heart as that. The whole tendency is in the opposite direction. '..Tiis is the way the world talks: I pal my name on the back of a man’s note auil I had to pay it, and 1 will never again jut my name on the back of any man’s note. I gave a beggar ten cents, and five minutes after I saw him entering a iiqi or store to spend it. I will never again g ve a cent to a beggar. I helped that young man start in business, and lo, after awhile, he came and opened a store almost next to me, and stole my customers. 1 will never again help a young man start in business. I trusted in what my neighbor promised to do, and he broke his word,and the Psalmist wa3 right before he corrected himself, for "all men are liars.” I

WUH, »Up|)U51US lllQI JWU UBT9I UJ « divine regeneration, cot right toward God and humauitj, and yon start out to practice my text: “A man that hath friends must show himself friendly.” Fulfill this by all forms of appropriate salutatious. H»v> you noticed that the head is so poised that the easiest thing on earth is to girt a nod of recognition? To swing the heac from side to side, as when it is wagged in derision, is unnatural and nupioasant; to throw it back invites vertigo: lint to drop the chin in greeting is accompanied wiUs so little exertiou that all lay long ana every day you might practice it without the least semblance of latigue. So, also, the structure of the hand indicates handshaking; the knc.ckles not made so that the fingers can turn out but so made that the fingers can turn in as in clasping hands; and tBStlittWb divided'from and set aloof from the fingers, so that while the fingers take jour neighbor’s hand on one side, the thumb takes it on the other, and, pressed together, all the faculties of the hand give emphasis to the salutation. Five sermons in every healthy hand urge ns to handshakii.g. Besides this, every day when you start out, load yourself up with kind thoughts, kind words, kind expressions and kind greetings. When a man or woman does well, tell him so, tell her so. If you meet some one who is improved in health, and it is demonstrated in mirth and color, say: “How well you look!” But if on the other hand, under the wear and tear of life, he appears pale and exhausted, do not introduce sanitary subjects, or say any thing at all about physical conditions. In the case of improved health, you have by your words given another impulse towards the robust and the jocund; while iu the case of the failing health you have arrested the decline by your silence, by which he concludes: “If I were really, so had off, he would have said something about it.” We are all, especially those of a nervous temperament, susceptible to kind words and discouraging words. Form a conspiracy against us, send let ten men meet us at certain points on our way to business, and let each one say: “How sick you look,” though we should start out well, after meeting the first and hearing his depressing salute, we would begin to examine our symptoms. After meeting the second gloomy accosting, we would conclude we did not feel quite as well as usual. After meeting the third, oar sensations would be dreadful; and after meeting the fourth, unless we expected a conspiracy, we would go home and go to bed, and the other six pessimists would be a useless surplus of discouragement. My dear sir, my dear madam, what do you mean by going about this wot Id with disheartenments? Is not the supply of gloom, and tronb la, and misfortune enough to meet the demand, without yonr running a factory of pins and spikes? Why should you plant black and blue in the world when God so seldom plants them? Plenty of scarlet colors, plenty of yellow, plenty of green, plenty of pink, but very seldom a plant hlack or blue. I never saw a, black flower, and there’s only here and there a blue bell or a violet; bat the blue is for the most part reserved for the sky, and we have to look n'ptosee that, and when we lookup no color can do us harm. Why not plant along the paths of others the brightnesses Instead of the glooms? Do not prophesy misfortune. If you most be a prophet at all be an Ezek .el, and not a Jeremiah. In ancient times prophets who foretold evil were doing rfjht. for they were divinely directed; hot the prophets of evil in our time are geneiaUy false prophets. Some of our wcMkhei-wise people are prophesying that *»e shall have a summer of unparalleled scorch. It will not he that at all. I think we are going to have a summer of great harvest and universal health; at any rate I know as much about it as they do. Last fall ail the weather prophets agreed in saying we should have a winter of e xtraordinary severity, blizzards on the heels of blizzard. It was the mildest winter I ever remembered to have passed. Indeed, the autumn and the spring almost shoved winter out of the procession. Real troubles have no heralds running ahead of their somber chariots, and no one has any s atbority iu our time to announce their coming. Load yourself np with hopeful words and deeds. The hymn once sung in our churchet U unfit to be sung. f<r it says: We should: inspect some dancer near Where w« possess delight. In other worts, manage to keep miserable all the time. The old song sung at the pianos a qusirter of a century ago was right: “Ktqi Words Can Sever Die.” Such kind words have their nests in kind hearts, and when they are ™ ~ take vring taey cir do round in

Baltimore, r. few days ago, 1 talked into a phonograph. The cylinder containing the words was Bent on to Washington, and the next day that cylinder, from another phonographic instrument, when tamed, gave back to me the very words it had ottered the day before, and with the same Intonations.Scold into a phonograph, and it will scold back. Pour mild words into a phonograph, and it will return the gentledlss. Society and the world and the Chhrch are phonographs. Give them acerbity and rough treatment you will get back. Gite them prretical friendliness, and they will give mfci pract'cal friendliness. A father asked his little daughter: “Mary, why is it that every body loves you?” She replied: “I don’t know, unless It is because 1 love every body." “A man that hath friends must show himself friendly.” We want something like that spirit of sacrifice for others which was seen tn the English channel, Iwhere, in the storm, a boat containing .three men was upset, and all J:hree were in the water struggling for their lives. A boat came to their relief pud a rope„ was thrown to one of them, and he refused to«^* take ! it saying: *First fling it to Tom; he is just ready to go 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 always have, pleuty of friends. What Is true man ward is true Godwprd. We must be the friends of God if we want Him to be our friend. We can not treat Christ badly all our lives and expect Him to treat ns lovingly. 1 was readiug of a sea fight. In which Lord Nelson captured a French officer, 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 resistance to God must precede God’s proffer of pardon k> us. Repentance before forgiveness. You must give up your rebelioit3 sword before you can get a grasp of the D ivine hand. Oh, what a glorious state of things to have the friendsh^of God! Why, we could afford to nalMni the world against and all other worlds against us if we had God for ns. He could In *' minute blot oat this universe. I have no idea that God "tried hard when He made alllthlngs. The most brilliant thing known to ns is light, and for the creation of that He only used a word of command. As out of a Ofii a frontiersman strikes a spatk, so out of one word God struck the noonday sun. For ihe making of the present universe I do not road that God lifted so much as a Huger. The Bible frequently speaks of God’s hand, and God’s arm, and God’s shoulder, aud God’s foot; then suppose He should put haud and arm and shoulder and foot to utmost tension, what eould He not make? That God, of such demonstrated and undemonstrated strength, you may have for your' everlasting friend. But a stately and reticent friend, hard to get at, but as approachable as a country mansion on a summer day when all the doors and windows are wide open. Christ said: “lam the door.” And He is a wide door, a high door, a palace door, an alwaysopep door.

my iuur«yr»r-'um vunu did not cry until hours after, when her mother came home, and then she burst into weeping, and some of the domestics, not understanding human nature, said to her: “Why did you not cry before?” She answered: "There was no one to cry to,” Now I hare to tell you while human sym - pa thy may be absent, Divine sympathy is always accessible. Give God your love and get His Iotc; your service and secure His help; your repentance am] have His pardon. God a friend? Why, that means all your wounds medicated, all your sorrows soothed, and if some and len catastrophe should hurl yojj, out of earth it would only hurl you into Heaven. ILGod is your friend, you can not go out of the world too quiokly or suddenly, so far B3 your owu happiness is concerned.” There were two Christians last Tuesday who entered Heaven; the one was standing at a window in perfect health winching 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 man who died on the same day next door h had been for a year or two failing 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 desirable than the oue who entered the shining gate through a long lane of insomnia and congestion? In the oue case it was like your standing wearily at a door, knocking and waiting; and wondering if it will ever open, audknooking and waiting again, while in the other case it was a swinging open of the door at the first touch of the knuckle. Give your friendship to God, and have God’s friendship for you, and even the worst accident will bo a victory. How refreshing is human friendship; and true friends, what priceless treasures ! When sickness comes, and trouble conies, and death comes, we send for our friends first of all, and their appearance in our doorway in any crisis is re-en-forcement, and when they have entered we say: “Now it is all right.” Oh, what ronld we do without friends, personal riends, business friends, family friends? tut we want something mightier than mman friendship in the great exigencies. Vhen Jonathan Edwards, in his final tour, had given the last good-bye to J1 his earthly friends, he turned on his dllow and closed his eyes confidentr saying: “Now where is Jesus of Nax - jreth.l my true and never-failing riend?” Yes, I admire human friendhip as seen in the case of David and onathan, of Paul and Qnesipliorus, of lerder and Goethe, ot Goldsmith and leynolds, of Beaumont and Fletcher, of lowler and Harvey, of Erasmus and Thomas More, of Lessing and Mendelsohn, of Lady Churchijl and Prinoess tune, of Orestes and Pylades, each retuesting that himself might take the mint of the dagger so the other might be pared, of Epaminondas and Pelopidas, rho locked their shields in battle deternined to die together: but the grandest, he mightiest, the tenderest friendship in ill the universe is the friendship beween Jesus Christ and a believing soul. Yet after all I have said I feel I have >nly done what James Marshall, the niner, did in 1818 in California, before ts gold mines were known. He reached n and pot upon the table of his emdoyer. Captain Sutter, a thimbleful of •old dust “Where did yon get that?” aid his employer. The reply was: "I got t this morning from a mill race from which he water had been drawn off.” But hat gold dust which could have been aken up between the finger and the hnmbwas the prophesy and specimen hat revealed California’s wealth to all lations. And to-day I have only put mfore yon a specimen of the value of Divine friendship, only a thimbleful of nines inexhaustible and infinite, though ill time and all eternity go on with the (xplormtiqj}. Mm sometimes think their lot to be a very hard one In this world, and even complain against the unvffbaee of God as a 1 sort of oruelsy to them. If these same person* would thoughtfully study the mercies with which God has opowned their days, they would soon discover that they have more mercies for which to thank Him than rila «t whi ch to oamptata U they v—
