Pastor of Jefferson Park Preaby- teria.n Church, Chic&go The largest room in the world is the room for self-improvement A Good Name. From personal experience I testify that DeWitt’s Little Early Risers are unequaled as a liver pill. They are rightly named because they give strength and energy aud do tneir work with ease—W. T. Easton, Boerne, Tex. Thousands of people are using these tiny little pills in Chicago, Nov. 15.—In this sermon the preacher makes a plea for the observ ance and practice of Christian courte sies and of the minor virtues that go very far toward making up the sum of individual human character. The text is Zechariah iv, 10, “Who hath despised the day of small things?’’ The world’s favorite monocle is the telescope. We admire objects for many different reasons. One of the chief is their bigness. Every tourist wants to see Niagara falls. It is the biggest of all falls. And Mount Everest. It is the highest of all mountains. And Kilauca, because that volcano has the largest crater in the world. W T e would ascend the Eiffel tower. It is higher than any other tower. And we would circle the Ferris wheel because it is larger than any of the other wheels. The human race, conscious that it is finite, aspires to explore the infinite. Its conception of the sublime is not the dwarf, but the giant. But, though tremendous bulk or mag nitude or hugeness or immensity has for the human eye an awe inspiring fascination, yet today I want to point out some seeming insignificances which are more essential for the world's peace and harmony than was the Co lossus of Rhodes, or the hanging gar dens of Babylon, or the temple of Di ana at Ephesus, or the palace of Cyrus, cemented with gold, or any of the oth er seven wonders of the world. I find that, though my watch has its large wheels and bars and regulating hand and mainspring and adamantine jew els, yet it has also its little screws and little wheels and little cogs and little pegs, which the jeweler lias to study ruder the clarifying eye of the magni fying glass. 1 also find that the ab sence perhaps of one of these little screws or cogs might stop the whole machinery of my watch as surely us if I should snap the mainspring.

W. with whom I was traveling one day suddenly llung open my stateroom door and cried: “Come on deck! Something has happened to the ship!’’ When I ar rived on deck I found scores aud hun dreds of passengers excitedly watching ; the strange movements of the ship’s , course. Instead of plowing ahead, we ! were slowly moving around to the ! right in a perfect circle. Just then an ottieer passed me, and I asked: “What j is the matter, lieutenant? Is the rud der broken?” “Oh, no,” said he. “We ! are merely testing a new compass. In | order to find out whether it is perfect ; we had to wait until we were far away from the magnetic effect of rocks and land. Those influences may not seem to be much, but they may entirely de flect the accuracy of the compass’ nee- j die.” Many years ago a large ship was j wrecked because a small piece of steel j from the point of a knife was driven , into the wood near its compass box and ; made the compass’ finger a false guide. Thus, my friends, I would take for my theme today the “Small Essentials” of life. I would try to show you that | many of the seeming insignificances and the despised monads are pregnant with large broods of influences, every one of which will have large progenies. A cholera germ may be so small that it is not visible to the naked eye. If, how ever, it is let alone in its work of devas tation it can soon crowd the wards of the county hospital with invalids and keep the undertakers’ wagons busy by day as well as the nurses busy by night. I ask the striking question which Zechariah put in times of old, “Who hath despised the day of small things?” Pt-rnonal Apparel. Small essential the first: Appropri ateness and neatness of personal ap parel-appropriateness and neatness in reference to the coat a man wears upon ids hack, and to the shoes on his feet, and especially in reference to the cleanliness of the linen he wears about his neck, and to the modesty with which he is attired in public. God would never have condemned the Letters of Administration. STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, \ County of Chbkokee. j By J. E. Webster, Esquire, Probate Judge. Whereas Minnie Lee, S.

There is, there must be, an unbreak able spiritual link binding a man’s per sonal apparel and his heart. “Cleanli ness is next to godliness” is a trench ant statement not found In holy writ but the substance of its teachings 1b certainly found within the leaves of the Holy Bible.

We have, therefore, a right to doubt whether a person who is in public chronically dirty in person or slovenly or immodest in apparel can offer ac ceptable worship. Hidden Talents. Yet to hear some slovens talk one might suppose it was a sign of mental degeneracy for men aud women to be careful of their personal appearance. They pretend to believe that a well groomed aud neat man is essentially u weak man. Therefore they practical ly say that one of the signs of geniu* is a disregard of the decencies of life. They cite the example of the Greek mathematician whose appearance in dishabille on the streets shocked all the people who saw him, and the example of Napoleon and Samuel Johnson and Horace Greeley, all notorious for their indifference to ordinary neatness of at tire, but such examples are not proofs of genius, but only of the power of genius to win its way in life in spite of disgusting habits. The genius of Alexandre Dumas triumphed in spite of the degradation of his birth and Henry Fawcett became a statesman and successful administrator In spite of ids blindness; so, personal unclean liuess and slovenliness may fail to de feat the true genius, but they can never help him to victory. And yet. deluded by this idea that slovenliness and uncleanliness are signs of true greatness, many a lawyer, a doctor, a merchant, has ruined his financial chances in life because he would nol dross as a gentleman should dress There are more ways than one of in terpreting that passage of Scripture which says In reference to the one tal ent man, “And I was afraid and went and hid thy talent in the earth.” Some of “the earth" in which many men hide their talents of life is to be found in the filthiness and in the unkempt con ditions of their wardrobes. If it is necessary to be clean and neat in personal appearance in temporal work, how much more is this neatness essential when we are consecrating our lives to the service of Jesus Christ? The dear Saviour wants us to go out and labor in his name in the same way as lie used to work. He was taunted with many reproaches during his earth ly life, but those who hated him most never charged him with uneleanliness or slovenliness, and we may be sure that the Pharisee who invited him to his house and the other hosts who entertained him would nev er have welcomed him as a guest if he had been careless about his person or his dress. The quality of his robe may have been poor, but we may be sure that there were no impurities upon it or upon him. So, Christian workers, if we go forth in Christ’s name, some of us must be more care ful about our personal appearance. Remember, O minister, when you as cend the pulpit, that your clothes may not be expensive, but they should be neat. Remember, O Sunday school teacher, that when you expound the Bible lesson your scholars are learn ing from you what it is to be a Chris tian. They arc learning with their eyes as well as with their ears. Re member. O man of God. that wherever you go your clean skin and pure linen as well as your lips preach in Christ’s na me. Clmrncter Development. Small essential the next: The little kindnesses and courtesies which we should extend to those with whom we come in daily contact. The little acts of deference which we should show to ladies, such as taking off the hat when we stand with them in an elevator or allowing them to precede us through an opened door. The “Thank you, sir,” with which a lady should acknowledge a gentleman’s action when he rises in a street car to offer her a seat. The lit tle social calls by which we should welcome a new neighbor or her friends into our community. The little gifts of delicacies which should be sent to the invalid’s room of our neighbor's house. All these little attentions and cour tesies may not seem to be of much value at the time, but they are mighty in the development or the depletion of human character. They are mighty in deciding whether a man is to live a selfish or an unselfish life. How a selfish life? Simply enough. Here, for instance, is a man who enters a railroad car. He places his satchel in one seat and his overcoat by his side. Then he stretches out his long legs, puts ids feet upon the opposite seat and begins to read a newspaper. After awhile the train fills up, but he does not remove his incumbrances. The man is an incarnation of selfishness. He cares only for his own comfort and is oblivious of the rights of others. He lias paid for but one sitting. He has a right to occupy only half a seat. Yet he is monopolizing four sittings. When the poor old woman with a heavy bun dle comes down the aisle, timidly look ing for a place to rest and to deposit her load, he buries his face yet farther in the newspaper and pretends not to see her. The old lady hesitates a little by his side, and then passes on. You say: “That man is not a polite man. He is not a gentleman.” I say Chris tian courtesy means more than the two words “mere politeness” imply. That man is laying the foundations of an evil future. For If he is discourteous to his fellow men, if he is willing to crowd his fellow passengers in a rail road train out of the seats which right fully belong to them, he is developing a disposition which, If not checked, may lead him by and by to defraud his neighbor of the dollars and cents which by right belong to him. When Paul said “Be courteous” he meant more than to be merely polite. He meant “be honest, be fair, be noble In the lit tle duties and attentions which you should show to your fellow men.” ChrlNtinn Courtesy. Character is not born; it Is developed. It springs not up In a night, as a Jonah’s gourd. It grows gradually. L)mau Beecher once said, “It took ! forty years,” when some one asked . him (lie question, “How long did 11 take to write that sermon?" By that Mr. Beecher meant that every year's work was a preparation for the fol lowing year’s work. Every act of our | present day is dependent in more ways than one upon the actions of our past. When a woman peeks out of her win dow to see the furniture van unload her new neighbor's furniture and then refuses to call upon that neighbor and extend to her the rightful social respect of the neighborhood, she is schooling herself to refuse to extend a welcom ing hand to her humble sister when she enters her church. When a man is willing to push his way through the crowds blocking the aisles of a large dry goods store, forcing frail women to right and left and shoving aside the little children, lie is nurturing the spirit which is shown by a criminal ebauf- feur who drives his automobile at frightful velocity through the crowded streets of a large city. He drives it ahead, caring not what horses he may frighten or what person he may strike because he knows that, like a full speeded Cunarder striking a fishing smack, it is the other person who will be hurt and not himself. Christian courtesy is of the tree of righteousness, and discourtesy is of the tree of sin. Let us beware how we ignore that apostolic commandment, "Be cour teous” (I Peter iii, 8). Furthermore, my brother, remember that discourtesy toward others almost invariably has a reactionary effect. The person who complains most about the rudeness of others is generally the one who himself is rudest of all. Some time ago I was riding in a Pittsburg street car. An aged colored man enter ed. His hair was as white as was that of Frederick Douglass just before his death. The car started ahead and near ly flung the old man upon his face. I rose and beckoned to him to come and take my scat. All the way down the aisle ho kept grumbling and grumbling. Even after he was seated he kept on ! complaining about the people “not be ing willing to give an old man a seat.” At last 1 lost my patience. I leaned forward aud said: "Friend, these pas sengers may have done wrong in not arising to give you a seat. They may have been impolite and discourteous. But did you ever stop to think that you yourself were even more discour teous than they? When I rose to give you my seat, you were not enough of a gentleman to say ‘Thank you’ for it.” 80 everywhere wo can find that the people who most complain about the discourtesy of others are apt, like the old black man, to be just as dis courteous themselves. If there is this sin breeding mote of impoliteness in i the eyes of our brothers, let us he sure that we have not the larger sinful beam in our own. Avoid Aiipenrunce of Evil, Small esseutial the next: The absti nence from all appearance of evil. The taking care of your life’s actions so that they may never be false lights luring your neighbors and friends upon the fatal rocks of sin. The refusal to cat meat, if by tho eating you may cause your brother to offend. “All things may be lawful, but all tilings are not cxpiKlieut,” was the substance of the Pauline injunction to the Co rinthian church. "To seem” may some times he almost as great a sin as “to bo.” Mark you this: No man can af ford in any way to have his influence cast upon the wrong side of any moral question. Nearly all our great religious teachers have recognized this truth. We must abstain from all appearance of evil on account of our influence over others. We must abstain from all ap pearance of evil on account also of i the reactionary evil influence upon our selves. One of the greatest bulwarks against sin is the God implanted desire to be thought well of by your neigh bors. A man, on account of principle, ought to be ready, if necessary, to defy the scorn and the sneer and the op probrium and the persecution and the misrepresentation and the ridicule of i the human race. But every man may desire that his neighbors and friends think well of him: that they should re gard Ids name as the synonym of hon esty and truth and probity and recti tude. And when any man comes to the dangerous condition in which be does not care what his neighbors think about him: when lie intentionally and recklessly stirs up a hornets’ nest of needless criticism; when he tauntingly boasts that it does not matter what oth ers may say, as long as he is not doing wrong, then that man’s feet are tread ing the soft quicksands of temptation and walking along the narrow edge of the precipice of death. Keep Enfftifcenteiita. My sister, be careful about the char acter of your associates. My brother, you who are an officer or a member of the Christian church, I would not at tend the theater again. You may say you saw nothing wrong. You may say you need the relaxation. But you can find that relaxation In some other way. You cannot afford the risk. Young man, I would take down that seminude picture from your wall. You may say It causes no evil thought in your mind You may argue that the nude in art Is just as essential for true beauty as the nude In the dissecting room is es sential for the development of sur gery. But you cannot afford the risk. Abstain from all appearances of evil. Perhaps you think this my own per sonal thought. It is not. Read I Thessaloniaus v, 22, “Abstain from all appearance of evil.” It is the apostolic command. Small essential the last: The inexo rable duty of keeping an engagemen . The necessity of doing what you prom ise to do. If you say to a friend, “1 will meet you at such and such a place, at such and such a time,” you should be there. You should be there just as certainly as you would be down at th« ship’s dock on time when It is about P sail for Europe, and when you have purchased a $100 berth for the pas sage. If you cannot be on time, ac cording to promise, for your engage ment, then you should notify the per son with whom you have the appoint ment. But the great trouble with many people is that they have no mor al sense of the duty of keeping an en gagement unless they wish to do so. They will promise anything, like a dis honest politician just before au elec tion, and li*e the same dishonest poli tician after election they will forget all their promises If it suits their con venience to forget. The result is that the man’s character and religious life will be eaten out by these little fail ures and sins, just as one little worm can tunnel its way into the heart of a great oak and eat out its heart until at last the monarch of the forest will have its backbone snapped by the on- rushing winds. DeMplae Not Small Thlnffn. It is the foxes, the little foxes, that most often spoil the tender vines, not the elephantine monsters. Once in awhile, however, the heavy foot of an eastern camel might crush them or the paw of a leopard might rip them apart when the midnight prowler, chased by the dogs, is rushing away after having robbed the sheepfold, hut this Is a rare occurrence. It Is the lit tle faults, the careless and thoughtless negligences, which do the most frequent mischief. It Is the little weeds that destroy the gardens and with their bayonet thrusts of thorns stab the flowers to death, not the mighty growths of the cedars of Lebanon or of the weeping willows. So it Is in evitably the small sins, the despised sins, the ignored sins, the sins of In significance, that most frequently over throw human character, not the behe- i moth sins, not the monstrous sins, not the sins catalogued in the criminal codes of man and of nations. Therefore, O man, I beg and plead with you that you take Christ into the smallest details of your life. Let the Christ be with you as much in the paying back of a borrowed five cent : piece as in the purchase of a store. Let him be with you as much in the clean liness of your wardrobe as in the clean liness of your tongue. Let him help you in the Christian courtesies which i you extend to your neighbors as well as in the Christian exhortations you offer in your church. May you night and morning always be able to make this prayer: “O God, help me in the lit tle temptations, and then 1 know that thou wilt make me able to bear the greater trials.” With such a lesson as this for consideration, who is there who will dare “to despise the day of small things?” [Copyright, 1903, by Louis Klopseh.] Women a* - Are Made Miserable by Kidney Trouble.
