TALMAGE DEPRECATES ACRI* MONIOUS DISCUSSION. "A Solt Tongue Breaketh the Bone"?An JEloqnent Appeal For Good Temper and Courteous Coodtct?Power of Kind new. The Trae Christian Spirit. Washington, Aug. 30. ? In these days, when satire and retort and bitter| ness fill the air, the gospel carol of this sermon will do godfi to all who read and practice it. The text is Proverbs xxv, 15, "A soft tongue breaketh the bone." When Solomon said this, he drove a whole volume into one phrase. You, of course, will not be so silly as to take the words of the text in a literal sense. They simply mean to set forth the fact that there is a tremendous power in a kind word. Although it may seem to be very insigniflcaht, its force is indescribable and illimitable. Pungent and all conquering utterance, "A soft tongue breaketh the bone." If I had time, I wonld show yon kindness as a means of defense, as a means of usefulness, kindness as a means of domestic harmony, kindness as best employed by governments for tbe taming ^ and curing of criminals, and kindness * as best adapted for tbe settling and adjusting of international quarrel; but I shall call your attention only to two of these thoughts. And first I speak to you of kindness as a means of defense. Almost every jjfe. man, in the course of his life, is set upon and assaulted. Your motives are misinterpreted or your religions or political principles are bombarded. What to do under such circumstances is the truestion. The first impulse of the natu ral heart says: "Strike back. Give as much as bo sent. Trip him into the ditch which he dug for your feet. Gash him with as severe a wound as that which he inflicted on your soul. Shot far shot Sarcasm for sarcasm. An eye for an eye.' A tooth for a tooth." But the better spirit in the man's soul rises up and says, " You ought to consider that matter.'* Yon look up into the face of Christ and say, "My Master, how ought I to act under these difficult circumstances?" Bleu Them That Cane Too. And Christ instantly answers: "Biess them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you." Then the old nature rises up again and says: "You had better not forgive him until first you have chastised him. You will never get hiin in so tight a corner again. You will never have such an opportunity * of inflicting the right kind of punishment upon bim again. First chastise him, and then let him go." "No," says the better nature, "hush, thou foul heart Try the soft tongue that breaketh the bone." Have you ever in all your life known acerbity ami acrimonious dispute to settle a quarrel? Did they not always make matters woise and worse and worse? About oo years ago there was a great quarrel in the Presbyterian family. Ministers of Christ were thought orthodox iu proportion as they had measured lancc3 with other clergymen of the samo denomination. The most outrageous personalities were abroad. As, in the autumn, a hunter comes home with a string of game, partridges and wild ducks, slung over his shoulder, so there were many ministers who came back from tbe ecclesiastical courts with long strings of doctors of Hivimfcv whom tliev had shot [' with their own rifle. The division became wider, the animosity greater, until after awhile some-good men resolved upon another tack. They began to explain away the difficulties, they began tto forgive each other's faults, and, lo! the groat church quarrel was settled, and the new school Presbyteiian church and the old school Presbyterian church became one. The different parts of the Presbyterian order, welded by a hamIs; user, a little hammer, a Christian hamImer that Scripture calls "a soft tongue." You have a dispute with your neighbor. You say to him, "I despise you." He replies, "I can't bear the sight of you." Yon say to him, "Never enter my hous6 again." He says, "If you come on my doorsill, I'll kick you off." You say to him, "I'll put you down." He says to you: "You an* mistaken. I'll put you dowD." And so the contest rages, and year after year i act the ^ un-Christian part and he acts the unchristian part. After awhile the better spirit seizes you, and one day you go over to tho neighbor and say, "Give me I your hand. Wo have fought long enough. Time is so short and eternity is no. near that we cannot afford any longer to quarrel. I feel you have wronged me very much, but let us settle | all now in one great handshaking, and be good friends for all the rest of our Jives." You have risen to a higher platform than that on which before you stood. Y'cu win his admiration and L - you get his apology. But if you have | not conquered him in that way, at any ? *- ~ "-"n tho nnnlanKft of TOUT rttlC JUU JiAVV? ?? V ?-- ^ ? own conscience, the high estimation of good men, and the honor of your Lord who died for bis armed enemies. Peace and Patience. "But," you say, "what are we to do when slanders assault us, and there come acrimonious sayings all around I abouf 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 one, fifty are born. All your demonstrations of indignation only exhaust youreelt You might as well on some sumS*? mer night, when the swarms of insects are coming up from the meadows and disturbing yon and distuibiug your ?" * family, bring up some great, "swamp angel," like that which thundered ever Charleston, and try to shoot them down. The game is too small for the gun. But what, then, are you to do with the abuses that come upon you in life? You are to live them down. I saw a farmer go out to get back a swarm of bees that had wandered off from the hive. As he moved amid them they buzzed around bis head and buzzed around his hands and buzzed around his feet. If he had killed one of them tbey would have stung him to death.' But he moved in their midst in perfect placidity until he had captured the swarm of wandering bees. And so I have seen men moving amid the annoyances, and the vexations and the assaults of life in such calzn. Christian deliberation that all the buzzing around about their soul amounted to nothing. They conquered them, and above all they conquered themselves. "Ob," you say, "that's a very good theory to preach on a hot day, but it won't work." It will work. It has worked. I believe it is the last Christian grace we win. You know there are fruits which we gather in June, and others in July, and others in August, and others in September, and still others in October, and I have to admit that this grace of Christian forgiveness is about the last fruit of the Christian soul. We hear a great deal about tho bitter tongue, and the sarcastic tongue, aua tne quick tongue, and the stinging tongue; but we know very little about "the soft tongue that brcaketh the bone." We read Hudibras, and Sterne, aud Dean Swift, and the other apostles of acrimony, but give little time to studying the example of him who was reviled and yet reviled not again. Ob, that the Lord, by his spirit, would endow us all with "the soft tongne that breaketh the bone." I pass now to the other thought that I desire to present, and that is kindness as a means of usefulness. In all communities you find skeptical men. Through early education, or through the maltreatment of professed Christian people, or through prying curiosity about the future world, there are a great many people who become skeptical in religions things. How shall yon capture them for God? Sharp argument and sarcastic retort never won a single souf from skepticism to the Christian religion. While powerful books on the evidences of Christianity have their mission in confirming Christian people in tho faith they have already adopted, I have noticed that when skeptical people are bronght into the kingdom of Christ, it is through the charm of somo genial soul, and not by argument at all. Men are not saved through the head; they are saved through the heart A storm comes out of its hiding place. It says, "Now we'll just rouse up'all this sea," and it makes a great blgster, but it docs not succeed. Part of the Rea is roused rp?perhaps one-half of it or onc-fcurth of it After awhile the calm moon, placid and beautiful, looks down, and the ocean begins to rise. It comes up to high water mark. . It embraces the great headlands. It submerges the beach of all the continents. It is the heart throb of oiie world -against the heart throb of another world. And I have to tell yon that while all jour storms of ridicule and storms of sarcasm may reuse up the passion of an immortal nature, nothing less than the attractive power of Christian kindness can ever raise tho deathless spirit to happiness and to God. I have more faith in the prayer of a child 5 year* old in the way of bringing an infidel 'hack to Christ and to heaven than :l have in all the hissing thunderbolts of. ecclesiastical controversy. You canDot gvercome men with religions argumentation. If you come at a skeptical man with an argument on-behalf cf the Christian religion, "jou put the man oh his mettle. He sajs: "I see that man has a carbine. I'll use my carbine. I'll answer his argument with my argument." But if you come to that man persuading him that you desire his happiness on earth and his eternal welfare in the world to come, he cannot answer it. Power of Kindnex. What I have said is just as true in the reclamation of the openly vicious. Did you ever know a drunkard to be saved through the caricature of a drunkard? Your mimicry of the staggering step, and the thick tongue, an! the disgusting hiccough only worse maddens his brain. Bat if yon come to him in kindness and sympathy; if you show him that you appreciate the awful grip J of a ccpravea appeme; ji you pvrsuauu him of the fact that thousands who bad the grappling bocks of evil inclination clutched in their soul as firmly as they now are in his have been rescued, then a ray of light will flneh across his vision and it will seem as if a supernatural hand were steadying his staggering gait A good many years ago there lay in the streets of Richmond, Va., a man dead drunk, his face exposed to the blistering noonday sun. A Christian womau. passed along, looked at. him, and eaid, "Poor fellow." Sbo took her handkerchief and spread it over his face and passed on. The man roused hi^elf up from bis debauch and began to- look at the handkerchief, and, lo! on it. was the name of a highly respectable Christian woman of the city of Richmond. He went to her, be thanked her for her kindness, and that one little deed saved him for this life, and saved lnm for the life that is to come. He was afterward attorney 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 lack pf one kind word. There is a business man who has fought against trouble until he is perfectly exhausted. He has been thinking about forgery, about robbery, about suicide. Go to that business man. Tell him that better times are coming and tell him that you yourself were in a tight business pass and the Lord delivered you. Tell him to put his trust in God. Tell him that Jesus Christ stands beside every business man m ms perpiexmoo. Tell him of the sweet promises of God's comforting grace. That man is dying for the lack :>f just one kind word. Go tomorrow and utter that cue saving, omnipotent, kind word. Here is a soul that has been swamped in riu. He wants to find the light of the gospel. He feels like a shipwrecked mariner looking out over the beach, watching for a sail against the sky. Oh, bear down on bim. Tell hira that the Lord waits to be gracious to him, that though he has been a great sinner there is a great Saviour provided. Tell him that though his sius are as scarlet, they shall be as snow; though they are red like crimson, they sliaM be as wool. That man is dying forever for the lack of one kind word. There used to bo sung at a great ! many of the pianos all through the J country a song that lias almost died out. | I wish somebody would start it again in our social circles. There may not have been very exquisite art in the music, but there was a grand and glorious sentiment: How's This!

I wish that in all our religious work we might l>o saturated with the spirit of kindness. Missing that, wc miss a great deal of usefulness. There is no need of coming out before men and thundering to them the law unices-at the same time you preach to them the gospol. The world is dying for luck of kindness. These yonUj? people want it jnst as mnch as the old. The old people sometimes seem to think they have a monopoly of the rheumatisms, and the neuralgias, and the headaches, and the physical disorders of the world, but I tell " you there are no worse heartaches than are felt by some of these young i>eo'ple. Do you know that much of the work is done by the young? Raphael died at 37, Richelieu at 81, Gustavus Adolphus died at 3S, Iuuocent III came to his mightiest influence at 87. Cortes conquered Mexico at 30, Don John won L?panto at 25, Grotius was attorney general at 24, and 1 have noticed amid all classes of men that some of the severest battles and the toughest work come before 30. Therefore we must have our sermons and our exhortations in prayc-r meeting all sympathetic with the young. And so with these people farther on ia life. What do these doctors and lawyers and merchants and mechanics caro about the abstractions of religion? What they waut is help to bear the whimsicalities of patients, the browbeating of legal opponents, the uufairnc:-s of customers, who have plenty cf fault finding fcr every imperfection cf handiwork, but no praise for 20 excellences. What aces that brain racked, bund blistered wau care for Zwingli's "Doctrine of Original Sin" or Augustiue's "Anthropology?" Yon might as well go tc a ma^ who has the pleurisy and put cu his side a plaster made out of Dr. Pair's "Treatise on Medical Ju riDjji uucaw. In all our sermons there must be help for every cue somewhere, ^ou go into an cpothecaiy store. We see ot hers being waited on. We do not complain because we do not immediately get the medicine. We know our turn will come after awhile. And so while all parts of a sermon may not be appropriate to our case, if we wait prayeifully, before the sermon is through we shall have the divine prescription. I say to these young men who arc going to preach the gospel, these theological students?I ray to them: Wo want in our sermons not more metaphysics, nor more imagination, nor more logic, nor more profundity. What we wunt in cur sermons and Christian exhortations is more sympathy. When Father Taylor preached in the Sailors' Bethel at Boston, the jack tars felt they had help for their duties among the ratlines and the forecastles. When Richard Weaver preached to the operatives in Oldham, England, all the workingmcn felt they had more grace for the spindles, When Dr. South preached to kings and princes and princesses, all the mighty men and women who heard him felt preparation for their high station, j .Do you not know that this simple ' stoiy of a Saviour's kinduess is to redeem all nations? The hard heart of this world's obduracy is to be broken . before that story. There is in Antwerp, j Belgium, one of the most remarkable j i pictures I ever saw. It is "The'Descent j of Christ From the Cross." It is one of | Rubens' pictures. No mau can staud J and look at. that "Descent From the Cross" as Rubens pictured it without j having his eyes flooded with tears, if he j have any sensibility at all. It is an overmastering picture?oue that stuns you and Staggers you and haunts your dreams. One afternoon a man stood in j .that cathedral looking at Ruben's "Descent From the Cross." He was all absorbed in that scene of a .Saviour's suferiugs when the janitor camo in and said: "It is time to close up too caniedral for the night. I wish yon would . depart. pilgrim looking at that "Descent 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 is to capture 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 tho conqueror, or by tho torch of persecution, but by the plaiu, simple, overwhelming force of "the soft tongue that breakcth the bone." We All Need More Kindness. Kindness! We all need more of it in our hearts, our words and our behavior. The chief characteristic of our Lord was kindness. A gentleman in England died, leaving his fortune by will to two sens. The son that stayed at home destroyed the father's will and pretended that the brother who was absent was dead and buried. The absent brother, after awhile, returned and claimed his part of the property. Judges and jurors were to be bribed to say that the returned brother and sou was no sen at all, but only an impostor. The trial came on. Sir Matthew Hale, the pride of the English courtroom and for 20 years the pride cf jurisprudence, heard th?t that ininsticewas abouttobe r?rac tioed. He put off his official robe. He put on the garb of a wilier. He went to the village where that trial was to take place. He entered the courtroom. He somehow got impaneled as one of the jurors. The bribes came around, aud the man gave ten pieces of gold to the other jurors, but as this was only a poor miller the briber gave to him only five pieces of gold. A verdict was brought in rejecting the right of this returned brother. Ho was to have no share in the inheritance. "Hold, my lord," said the miller. "Hold! We arc not all agreed on this verdict. These other men have rc1 ceived ten pieces of gold in bribery and I have received only five." "Who are you? Where do you ceme from?" said the judge 011 the bench. The response was: "I am from Westminster lialJ; my name is Matthew Hale, lord chief justice of the king's lench. Off of that place, thou villain!"' And so the injustice was balked, and so the young man got bis inheritance. It was all for another that Sir Mat' thew Hale took off his robe and put on 1 the garb of a miller. And so Christ took off his robe of royalty and put on the i attire of our humanity, and in that disguise he won our eternal portion. Now * mil ' wo arc (ho sous of God." Joint lieirsl Wo wont off from home sure enough, but wo got back in time to receive our eternal inheritance. And if Christ was so kind to us, surely wo can afford to be kind to each other.
