SECURING FRIENDS. Goodness a Perpetual Rebuke to the V Ungodly. Th* Acquisition of Tr«« rrtwdi, In. Dr. Talanc* Boys, to Not a KtUw •dknChMMttot of loin the following sermon Bee. T. Do* Witt Ttlmife demonstrates that the •obtaining of good friends which most look upon as a matter of happy accident, is really a matter of intelligent selection. The text is: “A. than that hath friends most show himself friendUy.w—Proverbs xriii.,24.

About toe sacred and divine arc ox making and keeping friends I speak— a subject on which I never heard of -anyone preaching—and yet God thought it of enough importance to put •it in the middle of the Bible, these writings of Solomon, bounded on one aide by the popular Psalms of David, and on the other by the writings of Isaiah, the greatest of the prophet*. It seems all a matter of haphazard -bow many friends we have, or whether we have any friends at all, but there is -nothing accidental about it. There is «law which governs the accretion and •dispersion of friendships. They did not “just happen so” any more than the tides ju*t happen to rise or fall, or 4he sun just happens to rise or set. It is a science, an art, a God-given regulation. Tell me how friendly you are to others, and 1 will tell jou how friendly pthers are to you. I do not say you will not have enemies; indeed, the beet way to get ardent friends is to have' -ardent enemies, if you get their enmity in doing the right thing. Good men und 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. Your friends will gather closer around you because of ‘the attacks of your assailant* The more your enemies abuse you the better your coadjutors will think of you. The best friends we have ever had Appeared at some juncture when we were especially bombarded. There bave 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 I will warrant 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 aground on a snag in the River Hiddekel; but there was at least one good trait of human nature that waded aafely. 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 tongues were busy enough, defenders finally gather around as thick as honey bees on a trellis of bruised honey-suckle. If, when set upon by the furies, you can have grace enough to keep your mouth shut, and preserve your equipoise, and let others light 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 been one-half as Inany 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 beyi 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 up in despair because you have enemies, rejoioe in the fact that they rally for you the most helpful and enthusiastic admirer* In •other words, there is no virulence that can hinder my test from coming true: “A man that bath friends must show himself friendly. ** It is my ambition to preject especially upon the young a thought which nay benignly shape their destiny for the here and hereafter. Before you ahow yourself friendly you must be friendly. I do not recommend a dramatised geniality. There it such a thing as pretending to be en rapport with other* when we are their dire destructant* and talk against them,

ami wisn mem caiamuy. #uoas covered up hit treachery by a retoundinfr ids*, and caresses may be demonical. Better the mythological Cerberus, the three-headed dog of hell, barking at us, than the wolf in sheep's clothing, its brindled hide covered up by deceptive wool, and its deadfol howl ca--denced into an Innocent bleating. Disraeli writes of Lord Manfred, who, I after committing many outrages upon ] the people, seemed suddenly to become friendly, and invited them to a ban* -quet. After most of the courses of food had been served he blew a horn, which was in those times a signal for the servants to bring on the dessert, but in this cnee it was the signal for assassins to enter and slay the gnesta. His pretended friendliness was a cruel fraud; and there are now people whose amile is a falsehood. . Before you begin to show yourself friendly yon must be'friendly. Get your heart right with God and man, and this grace will beeeme easy. Ton < may by your own resolution get your nature* into a semblance of this virtue, j but the grace of God can sublimely lift you into it. Sailing on the River Thames two vessels ran aground. The owners of one got 100 horses and pulled on the grounded ship, and polled it to pieces. The owners of the other grounded vessel waited till the tides in, and easily floated the ship out of nil trouble. So we may pull and haul at our grounded human nature and try to get it in better condition; but there is nothing like the oceanic tidss of God's uplifting grace. If, when under tbs flash of ths Holy

Ghost, -we see our own foibles end defects and depravities, we will be very lenient, sad very easy with others. We will look into their characters for things commendatory, and not damnatory. If yon would mb your own eye a little more rigorously yon would find a mote'in it, the extraction of which keep yon so busy yon would not hare much time to shoulder yourbroadax and go forth to split up the beam in your neighbor's eye. In a Christian spirit keep on exploring the character of those you meet, and I am sure yon will find something in them fit for a foundation of friendliness. You invite me to come to your countryseat and spend a few days. Thank yon! I arrive about noon of a beautiful day. What do you do? As soon as J. arrive you take me out under the .shadow of the great elms. You take

me down to ute arunciai lane, xne spotted trout floating in and out among the white pillars of the pond* lillies. Yon take me to the stalls and kennels 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 speak, asking for harness or saddle and a abort turn down the road. Then we go back to the house, and you get me in the right light, and show me the jtvensetta and the Bierstadts on the wall, and take me into the music room and show me the bird cages, the canaries in the bay window answering the robins in the .tree tops. Thank youl I never enjoyed myself more in the same length of time. Now, why do we hot do so with the characters of others, and show the bloom and the music and the bright fountains? No. We say: ‘‘Come along, anil let me show you chat man’s character. Here iis a green-scummed frog pond, and there’s a filthy cellar, and I guess under that hedge there must be a black nnake. Come, and let us for an hour or two regale ourselves with the nuisances.” Oh, my friends, better cover up the faults and extol the virtues; and this habit once established of universal friendiless will become as easy as it is for is sy rings to flood the air with sweetness, as easy as it 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 out your lead pencil and say: “Let me see! Before I accept that baleful story against that man’s character I will take off from it 25 per cent, for the habit of exaggeration which belongs to the man who first told the story; then I will take off 25 per cent, for the additions which the spirit of gossip in every community has put upon the original story; then I will take off 25 per cent, from the fact that the man may have been put into circumstances of overpowering temptation. So I have taken off 75 per cent. But I hare not heard his side of the story at all, and for that reason I take off the remaining 25 per cent. Excuse me, sir, I don’t believe a word of it!” But there comes in a defective maxim, so often quoted: “Where there is BO much smoke there must be some fire.” Look at all the smoke for years around Jenner, ti e introducer of vaccination; and the smoke around Columbus, the discoverer; and the smoke around Martin Luther, and Savonarola, and Galilee, and Paul, and John.and tell me where was the fire! That is one of the arts to make smoke without fire. Slander, like the world, may be made out nothing. Now, supposing that you have, by a divine regeneration, got • right toward Gpd and humanity, and you start out to practice my text. “A man that hath friends must show himself friendly.” Fulfill this bj all forms of appropriate salutation. Have you noticed that the head is so poised that the easiest thing on earth is to give a nod of recognition? To swing the head from side to aide, as when it is wagged in derision, Is unnatural and unpleasant; to throw it back, invites vertigo; but to drop the ohin in greeting is accompanied with so *111110 exertion that all day long, and every day, you might practice it without the least semblance of fatigue. So, also, the structure of the hand indicates hand-shaking; the knuckles not made so that the fingers can turn oat, but so made *that the fingers can turn in, as in {clasping hands; and the thumb divided from and set aloft from the fingers, so that while the fingers take your neighbor’s

band, on one side, the thumb takes it on the other, and, pressed together, all the facilities of the hand give emphasis to the salutation. Fire sermons in every healthy hand urge us to hand* shaking. Besides this, every day when you start out, load youself 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 someone who is improved in health, and it Is demonstrated in girth 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 condition. In the case of improved health, you nave by your words given another impulse to’vard the robust and jocund; while in the case of the failing health you have arrested the decline by your silence, by which he concludes: “If I were really so badly off he would have said something about it.** We are all, especially those of t nervous temperament, susceptible to kind words and discouraging words. Fond a conspiracy against us and let ten men meet us at certain points on our way over 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 symptons. After meeting the second gloomy accosting we would conclude we did sot feel quite as well as twn^i. After meting the third our

sensations would be dreadful, and attar meeting the fourth, unless we suspected 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 the world with disheartenments? Is not the supply of gloom and trouble and misfortune enough to meet the demand without your 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, plentj of yellow, plenty of green, plenty of pink, but aery seldom a plant black or blue. 1 never saw a black flower, and there's only here and there a bluebell or a violet, but the blue is for the most part reserved for the sky, and we have to look up to see that, and when we look up no color can do us harm. Why not plant along the paths of others the brightnesses of

tne gioomsr Do not prophesy misfortune. If you must be a prophet at all, be an Eze* kiel, 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 prophets. Some of our weather-wise people prophesied we would bare a summer of unparalleled heat It has been a very comfortable summer. Last fall all the weather prophets agreed in saying we should hare a winter of extraordinary severity, blizzard on the heels of bliszard. It was the mildest winter I ever remember to hare passed. Indeed, the autumn and the spring almost shored winter out of the procession. Beal troubles hare no heralds running ahead of their somber chariots, and no one has any authority in our time to announce their coming. Load yourselves up with hopeful words and deeds The hymn once sung in our churches is unfit to be sung, for it says: We should suspect some danger near. Where re possessed some delight. My four-year-old child got hurt and 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 that while human sympathy may be absent, divine sympathy is always accessible. Give God your lore, and get His lore; your service, and secure His help; your repentance, and hare His pardon. God a friend? Why, that means all your wounds medicated, all your sorrows soothed, and if some sudden catastrophe should hurl you out of earth it would hurl you into Heaven.* If God is your friend you can not go out of the world too quickly or suddenly, so far as your own happiness is concerned. There were two Christian* who entered Heaven; the ope was standing at a window in perfect health, watching a shower, and the lightning instantly slew him, but the lightning did not flash down the sky ns swiftly as his spirit flashed upward. The Christian man who died on the same day next door had been for the ‘last tlnee months suffering from a disease that made nights sleepless and the days an anguish. Do yon not really think that the case of the one who went instantly was more desirable than the one who entered the shining gate through a long lane of insomnia and congestion? In the one case is was like your standing wearily at a door, knocking ann waiting, and wondering if it was ever open, and knocking and waiting again, while in the other ease it was a swinging open of the door at the first tonch of your knuckle. Give your friendship to God, rnd 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 treasures! When sickness comes, and trouble comes, and death comes, we send for our friends first 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!** Ob, what would we do without personal friends, business friends, family friends? But we want something mightier than human friendship in the great exigencies. When Jonathan Edwards, in his final hour, had given the last good-by to all his earthly friends, he turned on his pillow and dosed hie eyes, confidently saying: “Now where is Jesus of Nazareth, my true and never-failing Friend.”_

Troth. Seek the truth, not creeds, not the* ological opinions, not a system of doctrine, not mere veracity, do I mean, but truths, facts, realities. Bring to bear upon it all your mathematics, take to it all your philosophy, place it in the light of all your logic. It will grow brighter aud brighter until all humanity finds its fullest freedom in the complete realization of world-wide brotherhood through God’s Christ-re-vealed fatherhood.—Rev. Frank Crane, Methodist, Chicago, IIL. Tfeo KoUoo Tfcst la Sera When a nation is true to God sm His principles, knowing no compromise, no hesitation; when it loves those principles, incarnates them in its laws and institutions, and, so far as it is in its pofer, insists upon other nations honoring them, that people is always sure to win the day.—Rev. Dr. David Gregg, Presbyterian, Brooklyn N. Y. _. The Word of Ufa Christianity has never been so thoroughly organised for service. People in general are feeling the deeper human need of some word of the spirit and the life.—Rev.

PATRIOTIC UTTERANCES. 44dnn of Bartotomo Homo. PmldMt of llwGaku Kepobllc, to tlu Armj of Ubmtloo Washington, Sept. 17.—Senor Que* aada, of the Cuba* junta, has received i the following address to the'''Cuban army issued by President Masso of the Cuban republic; “To the army of the republic: “It is a pleasing duty which the government council could not but fulfill, which at the same time it deems as the highest gift of fortune, to announce to the army of liberation the ending of the struggle carried on in these heretofore rich but now devastated fields, before all the world, between dignity* and injustice. No Question as to Whoso Is the Victory. “There is no need to say whose is the victory. Cuba, panoplied by a feeling of honor and the defense of

right, wns aided in its weakness by the magnitude of the necessary sacrifice, and went into the struggle with the firm and serene-resolution of one who faces death to conquer death itself, seeking refuge in immortality—the stubborn resistance had to result in our complete destruction^ or triumph. And as there remain Cubans in existence, success can not belong to Spain. Spain's Utter Humiliation. “All the vigorous efforts of the nation that discovered this new world and was its mistress, made during i three years and a half of war, carried on by combined arrogance and egotism, have not been sufficient to prevent the final effacement from this hemisphere of that grasping and proud people, to the eternal shame of its name and material ruin of its power, expiating finally its grave fault by such a heavy punishment. “Its honest arc! implacable judge, was another nation—blessed by fate, youthful, pushing, generous, just. The U nlted States the Friend of the Oppreseed. ■; “The United States of North America, from the moment the cry of February 24, was given, rose alarmed, casting its eyes across the small sea which separates us toward this bloody and agitated land, ^oved by our convulsions, the United States could not continue t*> live the pleasant life y»hich their prosperity guaranteed them, and which other countries, indifferent to our misfortune* have continued to live. The United States gave in their cities hospitalities to our- people, in their manufactories our rifles were made; from their shores came numerous expeditions; tlmir press with immense and constaiiv clamor called for justice, praising our triumphs, publishing our sufferings, encouraging us with their sympathy and promise of help while it protested against and condemned the atrocities of Spain. Drove the Infamous Wsylsr Oat. American diplomacy drove the infamous VVeyler out and terminated the criminal policy of concentration; the United States have continued their great work of humanity and justice, sacrificing their own peace, offering their own treasure and giving their own noble blo^d, -constituting itself the executioner of their verdict by which the empire of Spain is forever extinguished in the Antilles and Cuba becomes sovereign in the enjoyment of her independence. Proud of Duty Don®. “Every Cuban heart, therefore, instead of bitterness and sorrow, must be proud of having done its duty and grateful to its protector. “And the army of the revolution should also receivjAfie congratulations of the rising repuouc; it deserves our boundless gratitude. .The government council, therefore, salutes the Cuban soldier, who has been a model of abnegation and heroism; it has shown a perseverance equal to ita bravery. * Will b« Worthy of Horaoif. “The American people, our ally of yesterday, our host, of to-day, our friend always, is contemplating Cuba, and will witness our constitution. Let Cuba be worthy of herself, and she will be worthy o#the friendship of the United States. The Cuban army will do its part; it has fought under the motto embodying our ideals— country and liberty. We have at last a country, and will deserve liberty. Neither Interact Nor Hotrod Prompted the War.

“Our love tor Cuba will cause us to have little trouble in establishing a calm present harbinger of a prosper* ©us future. Neither interest taor hatred were the motives which impelled us to this war. No one who gives up his home and suffers hardsnips ard misery is capable of such baseness. The Cuban flag so gallantly defended and stainless will not be in ■he hour of peace soiled with crime or violence or revenge. The good judgment and magnanimity of the Cubans will gain for them the admiration of the world. They will deperve a place in history for they will have seen their work accomplished and their country redeemed and triumphant. The President, “BARTOLOMO MASO." Camaguay, September 1898.
