Sept. 22.—In this di- course Dr. Talinage commends the spir of amity and good feeling and mci Ions Illustrious examples of that spii It: text. Acts xxviii. 2. “The hnrlutrou* people showed us uo little kindness." Here we are on the island of Malta another name for Meiita. This island, which has always been an Important commercial center, belonging at differ ent t4%s to Phoenicia, to Greece, tr Rome, to Arabia, to Spain, to France, now belongs to England. The area ol the island is about 100 sipiare miles. It Is in the Mediterranean sea and ot such clarity of atmosphere that Mount Etna. UK) miles away, can be distinctly seen. The island is gloriously memo rahie because the Knights of Malta foi a long while ruled there, hut most fa IT.ons because of the apostolic ship yck. The bestormed vessel on which ■v sailed had “laid to" on the star bdShl tack, and the wind was blowing east-northeast, and. the vessel drifting probalif^f a mile and a half an hour, she struck at what is how called St. Paul’s hay. Practical sailors have tak eu up the Bible account and decided beyond controversy the place of the shipwreck. But the island, which has so rough a coast, is for the most part a garden. Richest fruits and a profu sion of honey characterized it in i'aul !- time as well as now. The tmest or angos. figs and olives grow (hero. When Paul and his eomrades crawled up on the beach, saturated and hungry from long abstinence from food and chilled to the bone, the islanders. JiUgh called barbarians because they iid not speak Greek, opened thcii doors to the soup wrecked unfortunates My text finds tin* sh p's crew ashore on Malta and around a hot tire and with th<* best provision the island ers can offer them. And they go into government quarters for three days to recuperate, Publius, the ruler, inviting them, although he had severe sioktu-s>: in the house at that time. I Is fatln r down with a dangerous illnes> Yea for three months they stayed on ttie is lat/J watch.ng for a slop a id putting the hospitality of tin* islanders to a severe test. But it endured the test sat Isfactorlly. and it is recorded for all tie- ages of time and eternity to read amt bear in regard to tin* inhabitants of Malta. “The barbarous people showed little kindness.” Potent of Word*. Kiudinss: What a great word that •is! It would take a reed as long as that which the apocalyptic angel used to measure heaven to tell the length, the breadth, the height, of that munifi cent word. It is a favorite Bible word, aud it is e;.#iy launched in tin* hook of .Genesis, caught up in tin* book of Joshua, embraced in tin* hook of Until, sworn by in the hook of Samuel, crown ed lu the book of Psalms and enthron ed In many places in the New Testa ment. Kindness! A word no more gentle than mighty. I expect it will wrestle me down before I get through with it. It is strong enough to throw ah archangel. But it will he well for us to stand around it and warm our selves by its glow as Paul aud ids fei- low voyagers stood mound the tire on tftffcl'.iiid of Malta, where the Maltese made themselves immortal In my text by the way they treated these victims of the jsea. “The barbarous people ■bowed us no little kindness." Kindness! All deliuitions of that multipotcnt word break down half way. You say it is clemency, benigni ty. generosity: it is made up of good | wishes; it is an expression of betieli- cenee: It is a contribution to the happi ness of others. Some one else says: “Why. I can give you a delinition of kindness. It is sunshine of tin* soul: it Is affection perennial: it is a clituacter 1c grace: it is n combination of all the graces: it is compassion; it is the per fection of gentle manliness and wo- I .manliness.” Are you till through? You Jmmc made a dead failure lu your doth j^^kn. Itycannot be defined. But we all I H0w what It Is, for we have all felt its power. Some of you may have felt it as Paul felt it on some coast of rock as the ship went to pieces, but more of us have again and again iu some awful stress of life had either from earth or heaven hands stretched out which “showed us no little kindness.” There is kindness of disposition, kind ness of word, kindness of act. and there is Jesus Christ, the impersonation of all of them. Kindness! You cannot affect it; you cannot play it as a part: you cannot enact it; you cannot drama tlze it. By the grace of God you must have It Inside you. an everlasting sum mer, or, rather, a combination of June K October, the geniality of the one the tonic of the other. It cannot ;11 with arrogance or spite or re- I’Venge or malevolence. At its lirst up pearanee in the soul all these A male kites nid Gergishites and Hittitcs and Jebusites must quit and quit forever Kindness wishes everybody well, every man well, every woman well, every child well, every bird well, every hors. Well, every dog well, everj cat well Give tills spirit full swing, and you would have no more need of societies for prevention of Cruelty to animals, no more need of protective sewing women’s associations, and it would dull every sword until it would not cut skin deej and unwheel every bat tery till it • otild not roll and make gunpowder of no more use in the world except for rock blasting or pyrotechau fttehratUn. same roof. The most tin! aitliy and ruinous Is a revengeful spirit or retaliating spirit, as I know by experience, for I have tried it for five or ten minutes at a time. When some mean thing lias been done me or said about me, I have felt “I will pay him in his own coin. 1 will show him up. The ingrate, the traitor, the liar, the villain!” But five or ten minutes of the feeling lias been so unnerving and exhausting 1 have abandoned it, and I cannot understand how people can go about torturing themselves five or ten or twenty years, trying to get even with somebody. The only way you will ever triumph over your enemies Is by forgiving them and wish ig them all good and no evil. As malevolence is the most uneasy and profitless and dangerous feeling, kind ness is tlie most healthful and delight ful. And this is not an abstraction. As 1 have tried a little of the tvtalia tory feeling, so 1 have tried a little of the forgiving. I do not want to leave this world until 1 have taken venge ance upon every man that ever did me a wrong by doing him a kindness. Let us all pray for this spirit of kind ness. It will settle a thousand ques tions. It will change the phase of ev erything. It will mellow through and through our entire nature. It will transform a lifetime. It is not a feel ing got up for occasions, hut peren nial. That is the reason I like petunias better than morning glories. They look very much alike, and if 1 should put in your hand a petunia and a morning glo ry you could hardly tell which was the petunia and which the morning glory; but the morning glory blooms only a few hours aud then shuts up for the day, while the petunia is in as wide spread a glow at 12 o’clock at noon aud 0 o’clock In the evening as at sunrise. And tliis grace of kindness is not spas modic, it is not intermittent, is not for a little while, hut it irradiates the whole nature all through and clear on till the sunset of our earthly existence. Kindness! I am resolved to get it. Are you resolved to get it? It does not come by haphazard, but through cul ture under divine hell). Thistles grow without culture. Rocky mountain sage grass grows without culture. Mullein stalks grow without culture. But that great red rose in the conservatory, its leaves packed on leaves, deep dyed its though it had been obliged to light for Its beauty and it were still recking with tlic carnage of the battle, that rose needed to be cultured, and through long years its floral ancestors were cul tured. O God. implant kindness in al! our souls, and then give us grace to watch it, to enrich it. to develop it! A Rovul Flower. The king of Prussia had presented to him by the empress of Russia the root of a rare flower, and it was put in the royal gardens on an island, and the head gardener, Herr Fintlemau, was told to watch it. And one day it put forth its glory. Three days of every week the people were admitted to these gardens, and a young man, probably not realizing what a wrong thing he was doing, plucked this flower and put it in his buttonhole, and the gardener arrested him as he was crossing at the ferry and asked the king to throw open no more his gardens to the public. The king replied: ‘‘Shall 1 deny to the thou sands of good people of my country the privilege of seeing this garden because one visitor has done wrong? No; let them come and see the beautiful grounds.” And when the gardener wished to give the king the name of the offender who had taken the royal flow er he said. “No; my memory is very tenacious, and I do not want to have in my mind the name of the offender, lest it should hinder me granting him a fa vor some other time." Now. 1 want you to know that kindness Is a royal flower, aud. blessed be God, the King of Mercy and Grace, that by a divine gift aud not by purloining we may pluck this royal flower ami not wear It on the outside of our’ nature, but wear it in our soul and wear It forever, its radi ance and aroma not more wonderful for time than wonderful for eternity. Still further, I must speak of kind ness of word. When you meet any one, do you say a pleasant thing or an un pleasant? Do you tell him of agreea ble tilings you have heard about him or the disagreeable? When he leaves you, does he feel better or does he feel worse? Oh. the power of tlie tongue for the production of happiness or mis ery! One would think from the way the tongue is caged in we might take the hint that it lias a dangerous pow er. First, it is chained to the back part of the mouth by strong muscle. Then it is surrounded by the teeth of the lower Jaw, so many Ivory bars, and then by the teeth of the upper Jaw, more Ivory bars. Then, outside of all, are the two lips, with the power of compression and arrest. And yet, not withstanding these four Imprisonments or limitations, how many take no hint in regard to the dangerous power of the tongue, and the results are lacera tion.scnrilk-atlonuud damnation! There are those If they know a good tiling about you and a bad thing will men tion tlie bad tiling and act as though they had never heard the good thing. Now, there are two sides to aknwst e ery one’s character, and we have the choice of overhauling the virtue or the vice. We can greet Paul and *he ship's crew as they come up ths beach of Malta with the words; "What a sorry looking set you are! How little of nav igation you must know to run oti those rocks! Didn’t you know I if Or than to put out on tlie .Mcdltcrransan lids win try month? It was not much of a ship anyhow or It would not have gone to pi. cos so soon n« that. Well, what do ! In his family you want? Wo havo hard enough work ' house for one to mako a living for ourselves without an old lawyi having thrust on us 27<5 ragamutllns.” office, and di Not so said the Maltese. I thin*' they said: “Come lu! Sit down by tbeMiro and warm yourselves. Glad (bat you all got off with your lives. Make your selves at home. You are welcome to all we have until some ship comes in siglit and you resume your voyage. Here, 1< t me pnt a bandage on your forehead, for that Is an ugly gash you got from the tloating timbers# And here is a man with a broken arm. We will have a doctor come to attend to tiffs fracture.” And. though for three months the kindness went on. we have little more than this brief record: “The barbarous people showed us no little kindness.” Power of Klndneiia. Oh, say the cordial thing! Say the useful thing! Say the hospitable tiling! Say the helpful thing! Say the Cl rust like tiling! Say the kind tiling! I admit that tiffs easier for some tempera meats than for others. Some are horn pessimists, and some are born opti mists, and that demonstrates itself all through everything. It is a cloudy morning. You meet a pessimist, and you say, “What weather today?” He answers, "It’s going to storm,” and umbrella under arm and waterproof overcoat show that lie is boneslMln that utterance. On tlie same block a min ute after you meet an optimist, and you say, "What weather today?” "Good weather: this is only a fog and will soon scatter.” The absence of um brella and absence of waterproof over coat show it is an honest utterance. On your way to noon luncheon you meet an optimistic merchant, and you say, “What do you think of the com mercial prospects?" and he says: "Glo rious! Crops not so good as usual, but foreign demand will make big prices. We are going to have such an autumn ami winter prosperity as we have never seen.” On your way back to your store you meet a pessimistic merchant. “What do you think of the commercial prospects?” you ask. And he answers: "Well, 1 don't know. Wheat and corn crop blasted in Kansas and Missouri, and the grain gamblers will get their fist in. and the hay crop is short in some places, and in the southern part of Wisconsin they had a hailstorm, and our business is as dull as it ever was.” You will find tlie same differ ence in Judgment of character. A man of good reputation is assailed and charged with some evil deed. At tlie first story tlie pessimist will believe iu guilt. “The papers said so. and that’s enough. Down with him!” The opti mist will say: "1 don't believe a word of it. i don't think that a man that lias been as useful aud seemingly honest for twenty years could have got off track like that. There are two sides to tiffs story, and 1 will wait to hear tlie other side before I condemn him.” My hearer, if you are by nature a pes simist. make a special effort by tlie grace of God to extirpate the dolorous and tlie hypercritical from your dispo sition. Believe nothing against any body until the wrong is established. SlH-nk (i Good Word. When you can speak a good word for some one, speak it. If you can con scientiously give letter of recommenda tion, give it. Watch for opportunities for doing good fifty years after you are dead. All my life has been affected by the letter of introduction that the Rev. Dr. Van Yrankcn of New Bruns wick Theological seminary wrote for me, a boy under him. when I was seek ing a settlement in which to preach tin* gospel. That letter gave me my first pulpit. Dr. Van Vranken has been dead more than thirty years, yet I feel the touch of that magnificent old pro fessor. Strange sensation was it when I received a kind message from Rev. Thomas Guard of Baltimore, the great Methodist orator, six weeks after his death. By way of the eternal world? Oh. no; by way of this world. I did not meet the friend to whom ho gave the message until nearly two months after Thomas Guard had ascended. So you can smrt a word about some one that will be on its travels and vigorous long after the funeral psalm has been sung at your obsequies. Kindness! Why, if fifty men all aglow with it should walk through the lost world me- tlffnks they would almost abolish per dition! Furthermore, there is kindness of ac tion. That is what Joseph showed to his outrageous brothers. That is what David showed to Mephibosheth for ids father Jonathan’s sake. That is what Ouesipberus showed to Paul in the Ro man penitentiary. That Is what Wil liam Cowper recognized when he said he would not trust a man who would with Ins foot needlessly crush a worm. That Is what our assassinat ed President Lincoln demonstrated when his private secretary found him in the capitol grounds trying to get a bird back to the nest from which it had fallen and which quality the Illustrious man exhibited years before when, having, with some lawyers. In the carriage on the way to court passed on the road a swine last in the mire, after awhile cried to his horses, "Ho!” and said to the gentlemen, “I must go back aud help that hog out of the iidi'c.” And he did go back and put on solid ground that most uninteresting quadruped. Victory Thro tilth Good Will. Suppose all this assemblage and all to whom these words shall come by printers’ ink should resolve to make kindness an overarching, undergirding aud all pervading principle of their life aud then carry out the resolution, why. in six mouths tlie whole earth would feel it. People would say: “What is th< matter? It seems to me that tlie world is getting to he a better place to live In. Why, life, after all. is worth living. Why, then* Is Shylock. tuy neighbor, lias withdrawn his lawsuit of foreclosure against that man. and because he lias hud so much sickness ho is gring to have the year rent tree. There is ■ in that young lawyer’s you know what he has flour rone in there for? Why. he is helping fix up a case which is too big for tin* man to handle, and ilie white haired attorney is hunting up previous decisions and making out a brief for tiu* boy. Do you know that a strange thing has taken place iti the pulpit, and all the old ministers are helping iin- young ministers. and all the old doctors are helping the young doctors, and the farmers are assisting each other in gathering the harvest, and for that farmer who is sick tin* neighbors have made a bee, as they call it. and they have all turned in to help him get his crops into tlie garner? “And I heard this morning of a poor old man whose three children were in hot debate as to who should take care of hint iu his declining days. The old est sou declared it was his right be cause he was the oldest, and tlie youn gest son said it was ids right because he was the youngest, and Mary said it was her right because she better un derstood her father’s vertigo and rheu matism ami poor spells and knew bet ter how to nurse him, and the only way the difficulty could .he settled was by the old man's promise that he would di vide the year into three parts and spend a third of his time with each one of them. And neighboring stores in the same line of goods on the same block are acting kindly to each other. It seems to-me that those words of Isa iah are being fulfilled when lie says, ‘The carpenter encouraged the gold smith, and he that smoothed with the hammer, him that smote the anvil, say ing, it is ready for the soldering.’ What is the matter? It seems to me our old world is picking up. Why, the millen nium must lie coming in. Kindness has got the victory.” Good and Kvll Contrasted. The east wind and the west wind were one day talking with each other, and the east.wind said to the west wind: “Don’t you wish you had my power? Why. when I start they hail me by storm signals all along tlie coast. I can twist off a ship’s mast as easily as a cow’s hoof cracks an aider. With one sweep of my wing I have strewn the coast from Newfoundland to Key West with parted ship timber. 1 can lift and have lifted the Atlantic ocean. 1 am the terror of all invalidism, and to light me hack forests must be cut down for fires, and the mines of conti nents are called on to feed the fur naces. Under my breath the nations crouch into sepulchers. Don’t you wish you had my power?” said the east wind. The west wind made no answer, but started on its mission, coming somewhere out of the rosy bowers of the sky. and all the rivers and lakes and seas smiled at its coming. The gardens bloomed, and tlie orchards rip ened. and the wltcatficlds turned their silver into gold, and health clapped its bands, and joy shouted from the hill tops. and the nations lifted their fore heads into rite light, and the earth had a doxology for the sky and the sky an anthem for the earth ami the warmth and sparkle and the gladness and the foliage and tin* flowers and the fruits and the beauty and the life were the only answer the west wind made to tlie insolence of the east wind’s interroga tion. Kindness to all! Surely it ought not to l** a difficult grace to cultivate when we see towering above tlie centuries such an example that one glimpse of it ought to melt and transform all na tions. Kindness brougiit our Lord from heaven. Kindness to miscreants, kind ness to persecutors, kindness to the crippled and the blind and the catalep tic and tlie leprous aud the dropsical ami the demoniacal characterized him all the way and on tlie cross, kindness to the bandits suffering on tin* side of him and kindness to the exeeutiofiers while yet they pushed the spear and hammered the spikes and howled the blasphemies. All the stories of the John Howards and the Florence Night ingales and the Grace Darlings and the Ida Lewises pah* before this transcend ent example of him whose birth and life and death are the greatest story that the world ever heard and the theme of the mightiest hosanna that heaven ever lifted. Yea. the very kind ness tiiat ullowod both hands to he nailed to the horizontal timber of the cross with that cruel thump, thump, now stretches down from the skies those same hands filled with balm for all our wounds, forgiveness for all our crimes, rescue for all our serfdoms! And, while we take this matchless kindness from God, may it be found that we have uttered our last bitter word, written our last cutting para graph, done our last retaliatory action, felt our last revengeful heart throb. And it would not be a bad epitaph for any of us If, by the grace of God. from this time forth we lived such benefi cent lives that the tombstone's chisel could appropriately cut upon the plain slab that marks our grave a suggestion from the text, “He showed us uo little kindness.” But not until the lust child of God has got ashore from the earthly storms that drove him on the rocks like Mediterranean Euroclydons, not until all the thrones of heaven are mounted and all the conquerors crowned and all the harps and trumpets and organs of heaven are thrummed or blown or sounded and tlie ransomed of nil climes and ages are in full chorus under the Jubilant swing of angelic baton and we shall for thousands of years have seen tin* river from under tin* throne rolling Into tlie “sea of glass u\Jnglcd with fire" and this world we now inhabit shall he so far in the past that only a stretch of celestial memory can recall that It ever existed at all. not until then will we understand what Nehctninh calls “the great kindness” and David calls "the marvelous kindness” and which Isaiah calls “tin* everlasting kindness" ol God."
