I
a woman woulii be at a uisuuViinUtge. j
Paul understanding these things and
happy for an opportunity to lay stress
on the great principle of Christian
love and kindness, writes a letter of
i
introduction and commendation for
Phoebe to the Christian brethren at I
Rome.
"We can imagine tonight how
Phoebe's heart welled up with joy as
she carefully folded this letter as one
of the greatest prizes she should carry
with her to Rome. How many times
on that long journey would she read
it, and think of home, and the church,
and Paul, and then turning her
thoughts westward think of Rome in
all her splendor and the prospect or |
meeting Christians there?men and
women not bound to her by the ties .
Qf blood?but by the stronger ties of i
Christian brotherhood and sisterhood. [
How they would help her, and send j
her back home rejoicing.
"Paiii'c nnmmpndation of Phoebe. I I
think, is one of the finest in all literature.
The basis of his commendation
of this woman beginning the journey
to Rome, and his calling upon the
Christians in that great world-centre
to give her a welcome worthy of
Christ's Deonle, and aid her in what
ever she should need their assistance, j
gives us the message that we desire, j
by the help of God, to present to you j
tonight.
.
"Since the graduating class of the |
high school of 1912 is composed al-:
most entirely of girls, and since very
few sermons are preached to girls, we
shall depart from the beaten paths
and direct our words more especially
to the young women present. It shall j
not be my purpose or intention to j
'come before you tonight with smooth, |
eloquent words to cast flowers at your
teet, but to present some oi trie serious
and real things that count for much in
life. Hence I may say some things
that will not enitertain and please
you, but they ought to be said, and
there is not better time to say them'
than on an occasion like this.
"Let me direct your attention to:
"1. The Basis of Paul's Commendation
of Phoebe.
"To commend people of give a recommendation
to any one is a serious
matter. A great deal more serious
than people often think. A good recor

person nay help that person to get a j
good position, but it may work hard-i
ship, and bring even ruin to many i
|
others. On the other hand a good
recommendation given to a worthy i
person may not only do that person
good, but bless hundreds of others.;
' So men of thought and seriousness are
careful in giving recommendations.
Paul was a devout, earnest, serious, j
and thoughtful man, and did not commend
people without good reasons.
*'Let us note tonight that Paul did
not commend Phoebe for certain
things cherished, and esteemed high by j
most young women today. He d^d not
commend her for her wealth, however,

not commend her for her personal
charms?he did not tell the people at
Rome that she was a beautiful woman, j
He did not even tell them about her
.accomplishments, however . accomplished
she may have been. He did
^ot say, I commend her because she
can dance with the grace of a Venus,!
ior handle a deck of cards with more;
skill than a Sunday school quarterly j
or oioie. ne aia not coinmeiia ner to
those strangers in Rome becaupe
kept up with the latest styles and ,
fashions. H.? did not pay, 'I commend j
ninto you, our sister, Phoebe, because
- she is a rich, charming, and accom-j
- plished social idol.' But why did he
commend her? Hear me, my dear j
young friends, Paul commended her j
- to the strangers at Rome tor virtues
needed by the young women of today
more than all else. Paul commended
Phoebe:
i
'"(1) Because she was a christian?!
'Our sister,' he said.
"(2) Because she was a servant, a
worker, in the church at Cenchrea. i
"{3) Because she was a succourer,
or helper, of many. Probably a dea- j
coness.
<4(4) Because she was a staunch;
friend of his, and aided him in !
great work of the promulgation of the I
gospel of .Tesus Christ."
"Every year witnesses the srand
spectacle of a great army of young
people marching out into the world. ;
The members of this graduating class*!
i
here tonight are just beginning to get!
read}' for the journey. I would not dis- j
'courage you. I would not be guilty of I
demolishing your air-castle or disturbing
your pleasant dreams, but I would
ratb-er put you 011 your guard, and |
prepare you for some things that will
inevitably meet ycu on the way.
"Christianity has done more for woman
than any other creature in the
world. It has lifted her out of slavery
and degredation, and made her the
queen of the home. It has placed her
in a position of wonderful influence
a ml power. But even in a Christian
land young women should not i'org?*t
that there are many things that de- j
stroy their usefulness. Let me men- j
tion a few in order to bring home to |
you some serious thoughts and les- j
I
sons:
"(1) The desire for a life of luxury
and ease.
! "As some one has said: 'One of the:
most noticeable of the outward signs j
of Christian civilization is the honor i
paid to woman. In heathen lands j
baby girls are unwelcome, daughters
are bartered away at the earliest possible
age, and wives are slaves. With
us the daughter is regarded as the
flower of the family. That she may be
well dressed, accomplished and charming
is the ambition and pride of the
entire household. This is as it should
be. Probably no other one influence
makes so much for unselfishness and
family honor as a chivalrie devotion to
the women of the household.'
"But sometimes a girl takes advantage
of this generous impulse of the
family. The desire for luxury and
ease grows by what it feeds upon.
The eagerness to keep up appearances
in a fast set, to be characterized by
sparkle, and shimmer, and silk-lined
rustle, leads many a girl to demand
expensive clothes, ornaments, and
pleasure trips beyond the ability of
fho fami 1 v nurse. Verv often such
girls are a millstone around their
father's necks. 'There is a story that
when the barbaric hordes were trying
to storm the great city of Rome, a
girl, moved by vanity and desire for
display, offered to open the gates of
the city if they would give her what
they had on their arms, meaning their
golden ornaments. The offer was accepted,
but as soon as the soldiers
were inside the gate they took off I
from their arms, not the ornaments,
but their heavy shields, and cast them
on the wretched girl, crushing her to
death.' Many a girl by her extrava
gance has thrown open the citadel of
her father's resources to an army of
creditors. Xo true-hearted girl can
afford to act thus.
"(2) The tendency to fall into the
habit of gossip.
"One of the evidences of original
sin, or the fall of man, is the tendency
to tell the worst thing you know about
a person rather than the best. The
fact that Mr. and Mrs. Honeymoon are
living in peace attracts little attention.
But let there be even a hint that they
are not harmonious., and what a whisnerins:
and nodding over the teacups!
"Not long since a certain young wo-;
man was asked why her club held such |
long meetings. She replied that noj
one dared to be the first to go, as she >
knew the others would begin talking |
about her as soon as she was gone.'
So all staved until all had to go.
"Jesus said, 'Blessed are the peace- j
makers: for they shall be called the-j
children of God.' The general idea of
a peace-maker is one that steps in be-!
tween combatants. But I believe that j
little girl had a broader and larger
idea of the word, when she came in
and said: 'Mamma, I have been, a
peacemaker today.' The mother was'
astonished, and said, 'Why? How?'!
The little girl said, 'I knew something, j
and didn't tell it'
"(3) The danger of becoming lazy. I
"The average society girl spends;
enough time in idleness to perfect herself
in music, art, elocution, l*tera-1
ture, or any'of the accomplishments.
How great is the pity that with a world
full of knowledge, and useful accomplishments,
so many of our young wo- j
men are content to fritter away the.
golden hours of youth in frivolity, idle
ness, ana pronuess pleasure, we j
agree with Rev. W. B. Millard when i
he says: 'Every girl should have an j
accomplishment. If her specialty is j
the high and delicate art of breadmak- '
ing, she should pride herself on making
the best bread in the neighborhood.
If it be music, she should qualify
herself to delight the ears of all
who know her. If the preference be I
for fancy work, she should fill her
own home and the homes of her friends 1
with articles of usefulness and beau- j
ty. If her taste is for service, and she
decides to make a Sunday school class ^
her special object, she should work at;
it seven days in the week, carrying the
class on her heart and doing everything
she can think of for their wel- '
fare.' After all, dear young friends, j
the direct path to happiness and joy j
is not found by way of frivolity, idleness,
and profitless pleasure, but!
through usefulness, culture and ser-j
vice. j
"(4) Alcohol worst for:
